The Answer

Within Meng Po Hall, Cui Jingyan was an exceptionally special presence.

The reason was that her identity was far too extraordinary.

Her father was the clan head of the Six Paths Division Cui Clan in the Netherworld Land, while her grandfather, Cui Longxiang, was one of the six Netherworld Venerables whose might shook the Netherworld.

Even her mother had once been a River Crossing Envoy of Meng Po Hall!

Although her mother had long since ceased serving in Meng Po Hall, her lingering prestige remained.

Even the current headmaster of Meng Po Hall had to respectfully address her mother as Martial Aunt.

Thus, although Cui Jingyan was currently only a disciple of Meng Po Hall and held no position whatsoever, if seniority were truly taken into account, she could address the headmaster of Meng Po Hall as a peer!

Of course, seniority in the cultivation world had always been a complete mess. No matter how special Cui Jingyan was, she was still only a disciple of Meng Po Hall.

It was simply that no one dared treat her as an ordinary disciple.

"Jingyan, have you run into something troubling?"

The Ninth Priest's voice was gentle. He could tell that something was off about Cui Jingyan's mood.

"I encountered a strange fellow and wanted to seek the Ninth Priest's advice."

Cui Jingyan spoke with some frustration.

The Ninth Priest and Snow Leaf exchanged a glance, both unable to keep a hint of surprise from appearing on their faces.

Anyone Cui Jingyan regarded as strange was surely no ordinary person.

"Go on. Let us hear it."

The Ninth Priest spoke warmly.

Cui Jingyan promptly recounted, detail by detail, what had happened when she met Su Yi.

Once they had heard it, the Ninth Priest and Snow Leaf were no longer as calm
