The Zhuo family had no idea how to use the token to contact Chunyang Palace. They could only wait or find someone to contact the Chunyang outpost in the Prefecture City. Just as everyone was puzzling over how to use the token, a female Chunyang cultivator came to the household.
To welcome this young Chunyang Daoist nun who had suddenly arrived at their door asking for someone by name, the Zhuo family put on their grandest ceremony.
Young and old alike stood in two rows in the courtyard beyond the main gate, with servants and maids behind them. Leaning on a dragon-headed cane, the elderly Clan Elder trembled as he gave her the most enthusiastic and solemn welcome.
"This old man welcomes the immortal maiden on behalf of the Zhuo family. Your honored feet have graced this humble place, making this shabby house shine with splendor. Please~"
The words left Bai Yujun completely stunned.
She had only just arrived at the Zhuo residence in Qingding Commandery, Elixir Prefecture, when the old man's words gave her a fright. She was only here to pick someone up—why were they making such a grand affair of it? And "shining with splendor"? There really was quite a lot of dust. Such a vast courtyard was filled with foul air. Either their feng shui was flawed, or the Zhuo family's household traditions were.
It had to be said, a snake's instincts were remarkably accurate.
Look at how excited this entire family was—sweeping and cleaning, burning incense. The looks in the eyes of men, women, young, and old were enough to scare a snake.
The Zhuo family had not expected someone from Chunyang Palace to arrive so quickly. The young Daoist nun was young and beautiful, making every male member of the Zhuo family swallow hard.
