Chapter 105 The Verbal Clash Between Steward Feng and Bo Yiyan
While Xi'er was busy consolidating her cultivation, she unknowingly spent three days and three nights in the Spirit Gathering Array.
Little did they know, Bo Yiyan and the others were already going crazy with anxiety.
Xi'er had informed Bo Yiyan before leaving Night Pool Palace to visit Star Picking City.
But when the person still hadn't returned by nightfall, Bo Yiyan became a little worried.
Before he could use the communication jade slip, Xunri had already asked Steward Feng to send back a message.
"What? Xi'er actually broke through to the second level of the Breaking Heaven Realm in the City Lord's Mansion of Star-Picking City? And she stayed there to consolidate her cultivation?" Bo Yiyan exclaimed in shock.
His first reaction to Xi'er's sudden breakthrough was not joy, but worry.
This is the Breaking Heaven Realm! In the entire Dust and Ash Continent, plus the Misty Heaven Realm, no one has broken through to the Breaking Heaven Realm.
But Xi'er did it.
Bo Yiyan couldn't even imagine what she would look like after being struck by lightning during her breakthrough.
"No, I have to go to Star City immediately. I won't feel at ease until I see her safe and sound with my own eyes," Bo Yi said.
"Fellow Daoist Bo, please calm down! The message was sent back by Xun Ri. As you know, Xun Ri is very calm and always speaks his mind."
Moreover, Xunri also said that the Palace Master personally accompanied the Dharma Protector, so Miss Bai Xi will be fine.
"As for your suggestion to personally visit her at the City Lord's Mansion, I don't think that's quite appropriate," said Steward Feng.
"Why is it inappropriate?" Bo Yi asked.
"You may not know this, but Lord Sang Yuebai, the city lord, has always disliked being disturbed by outsiders."
Over the years, whenever the Palace Master went to meet with him, the only things he could bring with him were Xunri and Poxiao.
He gets very impatient whenever I go over, so I don't dare to bother him casually.
"If you go, he might not even allow you into his reception room," Manager Feng explained, half-truthfully.
The Palace Master's task was to keep Miss Bai Xi's relatives and friends at bay and prevent them from going to the City Lord's Mansion.
But is it easy for him to find a suitable excuse?
Besides, Miss Bai Xi is so lovable, he has no intention of lying to her relatives and friends, okay?
Bo Yiyan panicked even more after hearing his explanation.
Steward Feng said that the city lord of Sang City did not like outsiders to disturb him, but the palace master took her to the city lord's mansion.
When Mingming Xi'er informed him before, she said that she was going to visit Zhaixing City with Steward Liu. How did it turn into her going to the City Lord's Mansion with Ye Tanji?
Bo Yiyan was incredibly intelligent, almost supernatural. With just a little analysis, he saw through the strangeness of the situation.
This Palace Master of Night Pool Palace definitely had ulterior motives towards Xi'er; otherwise, he would never have taken her to the City Lord's Mansion alone.
What's even more suspicious is that after Xi'er broke through, taking her back to Night Pool Palace to stabilize her cultivation would have been the best choice, but he chose to leave Xi'er in the City Lord's Mansion and even personally accompanied and protected her.
Upon seeing Bo Yiyan's expression, Steward Feng guessed that he must have already understood the Palace Master's thoughts.
At this time, as the head steward of Night Pool Palace, Steward Feng felt it necessary to make his point clear to avoid any irrational behavior due to a mere word.
"Fellow Daoist Bo, as you know, our Palace Master is an unparalleled beauty and the most powerful cultivator in the world today."
Given his status and position, he is a perfect match for the most outstanding woman in the world.
Moreover, he has always been chaste and self-disciplined, and has never had any women around him.
To be honest, we subordinates all thought that he was devoted to Taoism and had no interest in matters of men and women.
However, ever since he met Miss Bai Xi, he has been tempted by worldly desires.
Although he is a good match for Miss Bai Xi, he is a bit too old.
However, for us cultivators, as long as our cultivation level is high enough, our lifespan will naturally be long enough, and after we ascend to immortality, our lifespan will be infinite.
Even if there's a difference of tens of thousands of years, it's not a problem.
The reason I'm telling you all this is to prepare you for the fact that our Palace Master will propose to Miss Bai Xi sooner or later and they will become Daoist partners.
As Ms. Bai Xi's elder, I hope you can speak well of her to her parents and relatives, so as to minimize any obstacles to this wonderful event.
In fact, with our Palace Master's power and wealth, he could easily bring the person to his side without spending any effort.
His going to such lengths stems from his respect and affection for Miss Bai Xi, wouldn't you agree?
Manager Feng's words were actually quite skillful, a combination of kindness and severity from a superior.
Bo Yiyan felt very aggrieved after hearing this, but he dared not openly refute it.
Since the other party has made their point clear, there is no way to refuse.
He could ignore everything and say a few harsh words, but the consequences would be something he couldn't bear.
He didn't want Xi'er to suffer, and he didn't want his little cabbage to be coveted by an old wild boar so early on.
But this is a world where strength reigns supreme. Not to mention him, even if the entire Dust Continent were combined, it would be impossible to contend with Night Pool Palace.
To be fair, apart from being a bit older and having a higher status, Ye Tanji is indeed excellent in every other aspect.
However, as Xi'er's family, Bo Yiyan would rather Xi'er marry a man with lower martial arts skills and lower status than have her marry Ye Tanji.
Because if Xi'er marries him, her family will be powerless to seek justice for her if she suffers any injustice in the future.
"Manager Feng, our Xi'er was pampered by a group of relatives and friends as she grew up."
No one can force her into marriage unless she agrees herself.
Otherwise, even if it means mutual destruction, we will not yield. "Bo said, neither humble nor arrogant.
The reason he dared to take such a tough stance was because he was betting on how much Ye Tanji valued Xi'er.
If he wanted to use his power to oppress others, he would never have taken Xi'er to see his old friends, nor would he have specifically sent Xunri back with a message to avoid worrying them.
He was also a man, and by putting himself in Ye Tanji's shoes, he could understand Ye Tanji's general thoughts.
As one of the top powers in the universe, Ye Tanji always showed restraint towards Xi'er and did not act recklessly.
This is enough to show that he didn't want to force himself on her; besides her body, he wanted her heart even more.
If a man has such thoughts, it proves that he has fallen in love.
Once someone falls in love, no matter how high their status, they are nothing more than an ordinary man experiencing the stirrings of first love.
For example, he once fell for the feather fan and became completely infatuated. He then followed her wherever she went without hesitation.
And he was willing to protect her happiness, love what she loved, and think what she thought.
After hearing Bo Yiyan's words, Steward Feng was not angry.
On the contrary, he had more respect for him.
If it were any other head of a major family in the Cloud Abyss Upper Realm, upon learning that their child had been chosen by the Palace Master, they would probably scramble to curry favor with him.
They obediently held their children up with both hands and brought them to the palace master's side, hoping to receive the benefits they deserved.
However, Bo Yiyan was clearly just a Tongtian Realm cultivator from the lower realm, and the high-level combat power of Yetan Palace could easily crush him.
But he still dared to say things like "we'll fight to the death," which shows that he was fearless of death for his children.
The reason they didn't confront him on the spot was simply because they were afraid their child would be implicated.
At that moment, Steward Feng suddenly felt a pang of regret.
He felt that he might not have said those threatening words at all.
Although he only wanted to test the waters with Miss Bai Xi's family and get them to accept the fact as obediently as possible.
However, if Miss Bai Xi holds a higher position in the Palace Master's heart, he, as the head steward, might be in deep trouble in the future.
While Bo Yiyan and Steward Feng were preoccupied with their own thoughts, Xi'er, on the other hand, was focused on consolidating her cultivation.
Ye Tanji discovered that in this life, she was indeed born to cultivate.
As she focused on absorbing spiritual energy, the spiritual energy within the city lord's mansion seemed to be strongly attracted, forming a vortex of spiritual energy around her.
The speed and density of this spiritual energy vortex far exceeded the effects of a spirit-gathering array.
Sang Yuebai, who was spying from a distance, also noticed this and couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up.
With Xi'er's talent and comprehension, she will catch up with Brother Ye Tan's cultivation level sooner or later. She is truly the most suitable woman to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
Such an outstanding, lively, and lovely woman—if Brother Ye Tan hadn't made the first move, he would have been tempted to fall for her too.
Ye Tanji remained motionless for three whole days, finally waiting for Xi'er to fully stabilize her cultivation.
He was thinking about whether he should use the excuse of buying something to accompany her to stroll around Star City, as if he were just an ordinary mortal accompanying his beloved girl shopping.
But then Xunri rushed over and said, "Palace Master, something terrible has happened! News has come from Shuowang City that a large number of insectoids suddenly descended from the sky, and Shuowang City has been destroyed!"
