The Privileges Granted by the Sect Master True Lord

As soon as Wang Da spoke, the pupils of the surrounding cultivators who were unaware of the truth contracted violently.

The sect leader True Lord, calls the servant behind Young Master Lu "fellow Daoist"?!

Holy crap... am I dreaming??

Doesn't this mean that the seemingly ordinary, taciturn servant is actually a Nascent Soul True Lord???

Even Qin Nanyue and other Qin Household cultivators were shocked, their pupils dilated, their minds went blank, and all their thoughts seemed to freeze.

They were just excitedly discussing the array patterns and spirit wood on the flying boat in front of that servant!

Qi Yunshu smiled slightly, his attitude generous and open. "Since Fellow Daoist Wang has come to the territory of my Golden Rainbow Sword Sect today, why not come with me into the sect for a chat, brew tea and discuss the Dao, so that I can show you some hospitality."

Wang Da maintained his wooden expression and calmly shook his head. "Thank you for the invitation, fellow Daoist, but I am bound by duty and cannot leave the young master's side, so I cannot go."

Qi Yunshu took a deep breath.

Just as I thought...

Peak Nascent Soul is truly just a servant!

Moreover, they are the kind who stay by your side every step of the way and are completely dedicated to their duties!

He chuckled, showing no displeasure whatsoever, and said, "It's alright. Since it's your duty, fellow Daoist, then I won't force you."

He paused for a moment, then turned to Lu Yang, his tone suggestive, "Young Master Lu, I have some matters I wish to discuss with you. Would you allow me to board the flying boat for a talk?"

Since Qi Yunshu, a Nascent Soul True Lord, spoke so politely, Lu Yang naturally had no reason to refuse. He immediately nodded and said, "Please, Sect Leader True Lord."

Qi Yunshu smiled slightly, her figure lightly rising into the air, the hem of her Daoist robe slightly lifted by the mountain wind, before she landed steadily on the wide deck of the flying boat.

Lin Ying, Qin Nanyue, and the others, who had been silent on the deck, finally snapped out of their shock and quickly cupped their hands in a disciple's salute, "Inner disciples Qin Huan and Qin Xiaohe... greet the Sect True Lord!"

Qi Yunshu's gaze swept across the faces of the group, her expression remaining gentle, like that of a kind elder.

He nodded slightly and said softly, "The Qin Household scions... I haven't seen that little fellow Qin Che for many years. How has he been lately?"

Qin Che was the patriarch of the Qin Household. He was also a disciple of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect. fortuitous opportunity chance, he obtained some inheritance and cultivated all the way to the Peak Golden Core. In the process, he single-handedly established the Qin Household.

Of course, this patriarch of the Qin Household was a junior in front of Qi Yunshu.

Qin Huan and the others were flattered by Qi Yunshu's words.

Qin Huan quickly bowed and said, "Ancestor, you are well. Thank you for your concern, True Lord!"

Qi Yunshu nodded, then glanced at the three ornately decorated palaces on the deck of the flying boat and chuckled, "Young Master Lu, this flying boat is truly impressive. I'm rather curious; if Young Master Lu doesn't mind, how about showing me around?"

Lu Yang naturally understood that visiting the flying boat was just a pretext; the True Lord leader probably had something to say to him privately.

He nodded calmly and gestured for him to enter. "Of course, please, True Lord!"

The two walked side by side toward the main hall.

Qi Yunshu was slightly shorter than Lu Yang. When they walked together, there was a harmonious blend of the composure of an elder and the vigor of a young man.

Wang Da and the others followed quietly behind, their expressions as calm as ever.

Lin Ying, Qin Nanyue, and the others exchanged glances and wisely decided not to follow.

They weren't stupid; they could naturally tell that the True Lord Master had something to say to Lu Yang privately.

The group entered the main hall.

The palace doors closed silently behind them, shutting out the sounds of the wind on the deck and the gazes of everyone.

The lamps inside the hall lit up automatically, casting a warm yellow glow on the sandalwood pillars and jade wall carvings, illuminating the entire space with a serene yet magnificent ambiance.

As Qi Yunshu walked, she looked up at the beams, pillars, and array patterns inside the palace, and couldn't help but exclaim sincerely, "This is indeed a fine Law Treasure. The material and the array patterns are all of the highest quality."

Lu Yang smiled, his tone humble yet composed. "Sect Leader True Lord flatter me. I've heard that our sect's flying boat is of a higher grade than mine."

He was referring to "our sect".

These four words, upon reaching Qi Yunshu's ears, caused the smile on the True Lord's face to visibly widen.

The two then chatted for a few more minutes about the formation and layout of the flying boat.

Then Qi Yunshu got to the point, his tone gentle yet direct. "Young Master Lu, as the leader of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, I am responsible for the sect. Your identity... is rather special. May I ask what your background is? So that I may have some idea."

Lu Yang had anticipated this question.

He chuckled lightly, his tone frank. "Of course, no problem. I come from the Lu Household of the Yue Kingdom, which is under the jurisdiction of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, in the area of Eastward Prospect Mountain in the Yue Kingdom. The True Lord Master can send someone to investigate."

Qi Yunshu's lips twitched, his beard trembled slightly, and his smile froze on his face for a moment.

He had already sent people to investigate!

The investigation results for the Lu Household, a small Lineage in the Qi Refining Realm, at Eastward Prospect Mountain in the Yue Kingdom, are exactly the same!

But how could he possibly believe that a mysterious young nobleman whose servants were all at the Peak Nascent Soul could come from such a humble background?

However, seeing that Lu Yang seemed unwilling to talk about his background, Qi Yunshu wisely refrained from pressing him further.

He then looked at Lu Yang, changed the subject, and asked the second question that concerned him, "I wonder what exactly is Young Master Lu's purpose in joining my Golden Rainbow Sword Sect?"

Lu Yang chuckled matter-of-factly, "Since we've joined the sect, it's naturally for cultivation."

Qi Yunshu: "..."

Lu Yang: "..."

A sudden silence fell between them.

Only the sound of footsteps echoed slowly on the polished wooden floor of the empty palace.

Passing through the corridor of the front hall and around a sandalwood screen carved with flowing cloud patterns, the two slowly strolled up the spiral staircase to the next floor.

Qi Yunshu sighed inwardly, feeling quite helpless.

Asking is the same as not asking at all.

This Young Master Lu clearly had no intention of telling him his true purpose.

Nobody would believe Lu Yang's excuse just now!

After all, a mysterious young nobleman whose servants are all at the Peak Nascent Soul probably has Cultivation Method and resources that far surpass those of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect!

Should they enter their small Golden Rainbow Sword Sect to cultivate?

What kind of skills can one develop through training?

It's obviously impossible if you just think about it.

However, he couldn't very well expel this Young Master Lu from the sect.

After all, so far, he has not only not done anything detrimental to the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, but has also always behaved properly as an outer disciple, and his words and actions are impeccable.

If we rashly expel him from the sect, it will only give others ammunition to criticize us, and may even anger the forces behind him.

If you end up making an enemy for no reason, that would be truly unjust.

Lu Yang now felt to Qi Yunshu like a hedgehog curled up in a ball; she wanted to reach out and touch him, but didn't know where to begin.

After a moment of silence, Qi Yunshu slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

Forget it, let's just stick to the status quo and deal with whatever comes our way.

It appears that Lu Yang harbors no ill will towards the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect.

Since he wants to stay here, then let him stay.

If we offer more goodwill and support, we might even forge a positive connection.

Having more friends means having more options; it's always better than making enemies.

Thinking of this, Qi Yunshu stopped and turned to look at Lu Yang, her tone becoming gentle and composed again. "Since Young Master Lu has joined my Golden Rainbow Sword Sect for cultivation, I am naturally very happy to welcome him. However... it was fine before that I didn't know Young Master Lu's identity, but now that I do, given Young Master Lu's special status, it would be inappropriate for him to remain an ordinary outer disciple."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang was startled, then looked at Qi Yunshu with some anticipation. "What does the True Lord Leader mean by this?"

He already had a guess in his mind.

It seems that this sect True Lord, out of respect for his so-called mysterious background, intends to grant him some special privileges.

This is certainly a good thing for Lu Yang!

Qi Yunshu chuckled and said, "Young Master Lu's status is so noble that it's not suitable for him to live on the side peak with other outer disciples. How about this... I will grant Young Master Young Master Lu the status of a direct disciple of the sect, and you can find a direct disciple's cave abode on the main peak to cultivate. Of course, I can also arrange for you to live on a secluded mountain peak rich in Spiritual Qi, making the entire mountain your cave abode."

At this point, Qi Yunshu paused, then continued, "Of course, the Spiritual Qi on the main peak is definitely denser, but the Spiritual Qi on the uninhabited peaks is still several levels better than that of the outer sect. As for which to choose, that's up to you, Young Master Lu."

After hearing Qi Yunshu's words, Lu Yang's heart raced.

Although he had guessed that the True Lord leader would grant him certain privileges, he did not expect the True Lord leader to be so generous as to give him such good treatment!

The sect identity of a direct disciple, the main peak cave abode, or an entire uninhabited mountain peak!

Any one of these three things is a privilege that an ordinary disciple might not be able to achieve even after a lifetime of hard work!

Even for Lu Yang now, if he were to cultivate and improve step by step, it would probably take him several years to achieve such treatment!

Indeed, revealing a bit of background information can make people pay more attention to you.

This was incredibly satisfying.

He suppressed his excitement, quickly considered the matter, and then asked, "If I choose the deserted peak, can Wang Da and the others stay there?"

Qi Yunshu glanced at Wang Da, who remained expressionless yet exuded an unfathomable aura, and the equally silent guards behind him, and slowly nodded. "Of course. However... I hope that all of you fellow Daoists will abide by the rules of my Golden Rainbow Sword Sect."

Lu Yang was delighted and chuckled, "Of course, no problem. I am also a disciple of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, and I will keep them in check."

This is much better than he imagined!

Originally, it wouldn't be convenient for Wang Da and the others to enter the sect after Lu Yang entered.

It won't be very convenient for Lu Yang to handle anything afterward.

Now that they have an entire mountain of their own, Wang Da and the others can openly move in with him.

If he had his own mountain, then Wang Da and the others could follow him.

From now on, everything will be much more convenient for Lu Yang!

Even practicing the Record of Same-Heart Creation with Senior Sister Lin is now much easier!

As for abiding by the rules of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, that was no constraint for Lu Yang at all.

He had no ill intentions towards the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect and originally intended to be a proper disciple.
