He was handsome and aloof. Except for his overly cold and austere appearance, which inspired awe, he was practically perfect.
The crowd erupted in chaos, their eyes fixed on the man in the sky, whispering amongst themselves.
"That is the master of the Divine Machine Palace."
"The Palace Master?"
"Could that be the legendary Divine Compassion Palace? Rumors say that the Divine Compassion Palace is located in the heavens. Could the legend actually be true?"
"Legend has it that the Divine Compassion Palace is in charge of the secret treasury for cultivating immortality. If the treasury is indeed in the heavens, it makes sense."
Among the men who cultivate immortality, most discuss the various legends of Shenci Palace and Shenji, but for the women, the discussion revolves around Shenji's appearance.
"Is there really such an extraordinary man in the world?"
"I had long heard that the Palace Master of Shenci Palace was the most handsome man in the world, but I thought it was just a rumor. I never expected that the rumor was true..."
"That woman just now said she was the lover of the Palace Master?"
As soon as these words were spoken, countless women turned their gazes toward Linghu Lan, especially the female disciples of the Thousand Shadows Sect.
These female disciples are usually proud of their beauty and have high self-esteem. They all use Yinghua as their standard for finding a partner. However, they can only dream about sleeping with their grandmaster, since there is a generational difference. But they have no pressure at all about sleeping with the palace master of another family.
Shenji was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate, but now this perfect marriage prospect was already taken. It felt as if his beloved had been stolen by the woman he hated the most, and everyone looked at Linghu Lan with murderous intent.
Linghu Lan was speechless and choked with emotion.
Holy crap!
Why is it that my looks are always the one being criticized? Am I not beautiful, handsome, or charming? Am I not good enough for Shenji?
The divine machine slowly descended from the sky, with a majestic dragon swimming around it.
Shenji calmly took out the Demon-Slaying Tower from his bosom. The dragon let out a roar and slowly swam towards the Demon-Slaying Tower. Its body suddenly shrank and it entered the Demon-Slaying Tower.
He turned around and glanced silently at Linghu Lan.
Linghu Lan stood tall and proud, chuckling coldly.
You idiot, trying to look cool and stylish, coming out so late, your wife almost kicked the bucket just now.
Seeing that Linghu Lan showed no shame or awareness of being exposed as his lover, Shenji felt a sense of helplessness, like talking to a brick wall.
He had no choice but to turn his gaze to Master Zhineng and the Taoist nun without changing his expression, and bowed and said, "Thank you, Master Zhineng, Daoist Wuwei, and Abbess Yongxian."
The intelligent master felt much better after receiving Linghu Lan's "medicine". He put his hands together in return and said, "Just now, the Divine Palace Master entrusted the three of us to take care of this young lady. My cultivation is limited, but I have been entrusted with this important task. I will do my best. Fortunately, I have not failed the Divine Palace Master's trust."
Entrusted? Take care of? Me?
Linghu Lan's heart skipped a beat, her eyes lit up instantly, and she stared intently at Shenji.
Feeling Linghu Lan's gaze, Shenji's face flushed slightly.
He had been stunned for a while by Linghu Lan's words about being the Palace Master's lover. He couldn't get down, but he couldn't leave without saving her, so he had no choice but to send a telepathic message to the three of them to protect Linghu Lan. He glanced at Linghu Lan, thanked the three of them solemnly, and then turned his gaze to Ying Hua.
Yinghua's cold eyes seemed to contain the depths of hell, while Shenji's eyes shone with divine light as if the heavens had been reborn.
Their eyes met; they were evenly matched.
Shenji did not turn around, and said indifferently to Linghu Lan, "Miss Ji, you can finish what you have to say now."
Linghu Lan chuckled, and Shenji's ears turned red.
