"Young friend, Senior Sister Qiongchang and I are close friends. Sorry to trouble you, but please go announce our arrival and tell her that I, Liulisha, would like to see her. It is only to reminisce about old times, nothing else." Liulisha hurriedly explained.
As it turned out, the other party's attendant was far more difficult to deal with than we had imagined. He said, "Aunt-Master Liulisha, forgive me, but Senior Sister-Master Qiongchang already knows you've come. That's why she sent me to receive you. She said that these days, before the meeting begins, she probably won't have time to receive you. If you truly have something important to discuss, please contact Senior Sister-Master Qiongchang personally. This junior truly cannot make the decision."
I secretly marveled that Liulisha had actually become an aunt-master. Then again, sometimes appearances gave no clue as to one's age. At the very least, this young girl was not truly a young girl anymore.
"Then I'll contact her myself!" Liulisha was rather irritated, and I naturally asked her privately whether she really dared to contact her.
"Alas, they've already refused us this thoroughly. Since they weren't willing to offend us, this is already more than enough consideration, especially with Grand Elder Zuo putting in a word. I'm afraid my face won't be of any use." Liulisha answered helplessly.
The immortal world was just like the mortal world: face was worth more than heaven itself. When one had enough face, even treasures could be borrowed. But when one's face was lacking, as now, one had to yield completely before someone with greater influence.
"Then we can only try our luck elsewhere. However, I suspect the five major sects have all been claimed by Grand Elder Zuo. If you don't believe me, we can go take a look."
