We're Really Looking Forward to This Fenghua Gathering

Nan Xunran extended her well-defined hand and steadily took the jade bottle. Then, the bottle cap opened by itself.

Instantly, a rich medicinal fragrance wafted over, and a powerful spiritual energy overflowed outwards, forming a visible pale purple mist in the air.

Nan Xunran then raised her head, her gaze meeting Nan Shu's.

Nan Shu hurriedly covered her eyes with her hands, feigning anger, and said, "Don't look at me like that. Your sister has no resistance to handsome men."

Upon hearing this, Nan Xunran couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Nan Shu laughed too. She lowered her hand from her eyes, tidied her stray hairs, and said, "Alright, alright, no more joking around."

Then, her expression turned serious, and she asked again, "The Fenghua Gathering is in three days. When should we set off?"

Two days later.

Nan Shu nodded and replied, "Okay."

Two days later

Starry Valley

The Starry Valley sat calmly, while his attendant stood silently beside him, holding the teapot steadily in both hands and pouring tea for him with trepidation.

Just then, a guard stumbled in, shouting, "Valley Master!"

The servant was startled by the sudden noise, and the teapot in his hand shook violently, spilling the scalding tea and splashing it onto the ground in a messy mess.

His face turned deathly pale, and he collapsed to his knees with a thud.

His whole body trembled, and he pleaded in a tearful voice, "I didn't mean it, Valley Master, please spare me!"

The Starry Valley frowned slightly and gave the servant a cold glance.

Then, he slowly turned his gaze to the guard who had barged in and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter that you're in such a panic?"

The guard, panting heavily, stammered, "The... Nan Clan."

After a brief pause, he quickly added, "The Nan Clan's son has arrived."

Upon hearing this, the Starry Valley jumped to his feet, his movement so forceful that it knocked over the chair behind him.

However, before he could even ask where the person was, he sensed an unrestrained aura.

He disregarded everything else, hurriedly walking outside to meet the owner of that aura.

As he approached, he bowed slightly and said, "Divine Son Xunran."

Then, he turned his gaze to Nan Shu beside him and respectfully said, "Wonder-Healer Immortal Maiden."

Nan Shu gently raised her hand and said calmly, "No need for formalities."

The Starry Valley glanced cautiously at Nan Xunran, and only after seeing him nod did he slowly stand up.

Nan Shu's eyes sparkled as she softly asked, "Are we perhaps too early?"

The Starry Valley hurriedly waved his hand, his face instantly plastered with a fawning smile, and replied in a flustered manner, "No, no, Fairy is joking."

Then he added, "The other prodigies are already inside the valley."

Upon hearing this, Nan Shu raised an eyebrow slightly, "Then are we late?"

The Starry Valley broke out in a cold sweat and repeatedly said, "It's not too late, it's not too late."

He opened his mouth, but didn't know how to continue, so he could only stand there awkwardly.

Seeing his expression, Nan Shu couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

At this moment, Nan Xunran spoke calmly, "Lead the way."

The Starry Valley, feeling as if he had been granted a pardon, hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes."

He then said, with feigned trepidation, "This way, please."

Dustless Hall

The Starry Valley turned slightly to the side, bending at a perfect angle, and said, "Divine Son Xunran, this is the accommodation specially arranged for the two of you."

Nan Shu walked with light steps, her eyes looking around.

She looked around carefully and found that there was only this one palace in the surrounding area, and no other residences of the other prodigies.

She nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "Not bad."

Then, she turned her head and looked at Nan Xunran beside her, asking, "Xunran, how is it?"

Nan Xunran's gaze slowly swept across the hall, and he said succinctly, "Yes."

Upon hearing this, the Starry Valley secretly breathed a sigh of relief, while also secretly rejoicing: It seems that arranging a separate palace for Divine Son Xunran was indeed the right thing to do.

Seeing that he hadn't left yet, Nan Shu smiled sweetly and said, "We're really looking forward to this Fenghua Gathering."

The Starry Valley immediately understood, realizing that she was giving him the order to leave.

He quickly clasped his hands in a respectful bow and said, "Then I shall take my leave."

Nan Shu lightly raised her delicate hand and waved it casually.

Other residences of the prodigies

When Nan Xunran stepped into Starry Valley, he did not deliberately conceal his aura.

All the prodigies noticed his arrival and quickly emerged from their respective houses.

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with hesitation, and none of them dared to take the lead in walking towards the Dustless Hall.

For a moment, the atmosphere became tense.

One of the prodigies frowned slightly, breaking the silence first.

He said, "I'd better head back first; I'll be able to see Divine Son Xunran at the Fenghua Gathering of Splendor tomorrow anyway."
