Once Acquainted: Chu Zhiwei and Luo Lingshuang
They are also among the only two descendants of the "Zu" generation.
Zhang Zu'an's Qi and Blood Qi and Blood was depleted, and with the help of the spiritual peach, his cultivation had reached its limit by breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Peak; the Golden Core stage was out of the question.
Zhang Zujun's successful breakthrough to the Golden Core stage and the resulting increase in lifespan truly made Zhang Chongxian extremely happy.
He was even happier than when he himself broke through to the Late Golden Core.
As soon as the words were spoken, Zhang Chongxian and Chu Zhiwei appeared before the crowd.
Before Zhang Xuanchen and the others could ask any questions, Zhang Chongxian took the initiative to introduce them, "Everyone, this gentleman next to me is an elder of the Feather Immortal Sect from the Xuanwu Sea Region."
His name was Chu Zhiwei, and his Daoist name Crimson Spear True Person.
We met in the Yunjin Barren Ruins, and now she is my Daoist partner.
"After we get married, she will be the ancestor of my Zhang Family, the Ancestor Chu family patriarch."
He made no attempt to conceal Chu Zhiwei's identity and informed everyone in the clan.
This is better for everyone.
After introducing Chu Zhiwei, Zhang Chongxian began to introduce Zhang Xuanchen and others to her.
"Zhiwei, this is Zhang Xuanchen, a cultivator of the Xuan generation in the Zhang family, and also the current patriarch of the Zhang family. Don't be fooled by his apparent status as only being in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage."
His actual cultivation level is far higher than this; this kid is incredibly frustrated.
The woman beside him Luo Lingshuang; she is this young man's fiancée.
..."
Zhang Chongxian introduced each of the Zhang Family's high-ranking members to Chu Zhiwei.
As long as it didn't involve any major clan secrets, they revealed everything.
They weren't afraid of what Chu Zhiwei might do to the Zhang Family.
First, having spent so much time together, Zhang Chongxian Chu Zhiwei's character very well.
Secondly, the Zhang Family and Chu Zhiwei's backers are not in the same sea area and have no conflict of interest. Moreover, the two sides are so different in strength that they are not comparable at all.
If the Feather Immortal Sect really wanted to harm the Zhang Family, they could easily wipe out the entire Zhang Family by sending just one Nascent Soul True Lord.
Chu Zhiwei listened attentively, though her eyes would occasionally glance at Luo Lingshuang, her face full of smiles.
After Zhang Chongxian finished speaking, Chu Zhiwei spoke up:
Hello, nice to meet you all. I don't know what you like.
I asked Brother Xian to help me decide what to buy, and I bought you some small gifts.
I hope you won't find it offensive.
As he spoke, eleven Storage Bag flew out and landed in the hands of the Zhang Family's senior members present.
"It's nothing valuable, please don't refuse."
As he spoke, he came to Luo Lingshuang and took out a Storage Bag, placing it in Luo Lingshuang's hand.
He smiled and said, "Ling Shuang, it's been a long time."
I never expected to see you here.
At this point, Chu Zhiwei's face showed a look of emotion.
Um?
Upon seeing this, everyone turned their attention to the two of them.
Bursting with curiosity.
Zhang Xuanchen, also looking puzzled, asked Luo Lingshuang, "Shuang'er, do you know Senior Chu?"
Why haven't I heard you mention this before?
"Yes, I do know her." Luo Lingshuang nodded with a smile, "But we only met once."
Speaking of which, Senior Chu actually saved my life.
Then Luo Lingshuang recounted the matter in detail.
It turns out that in the second year after Luo Lingshuang accidentally entered the Teleportation Array and arrived in the South Sea Immortal Continent, she was chased by several Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators in the Yunjin Barren Ruins.
It was Chu Zhiwei who stepped forward and killed that group of people, and then she met Luo Lingshuang.
Seeing that Luo Lingshuang had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage at such a young age, Chu Zhiwei felt a sense of admiration for her talent.
Upon learning that she was nameless and belonged to no sect, they wanted to recruit Luo Lingshuang into the Feather Immortal Sect.
However, Luo Lingshuang refused at the time.
Because the Feather Immortal Sect was too powerful, its influence far surpassing that of the Nine Splendor Sword Sect, she had no absolute certainty of protecting herself if she went there.
Although Chu Zhiwei felt regretful, she did not insist.
After all, everyone has their own aspirations, and we can't force them to.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, realizing that Chu Zhiwei was indeed broad-minded.
Imagine an elder from a top-tier sect like the Feather Immortal Sect personally recruiting a disciple, only to be rejected by that disciple. How many people could accept that calmly?
But Chu Zhiwei did it.
Zhang Xuanchen immediately Chu Zhiwei, "Thank you for saving my Senior Chu."
"Don't thank me." Chu Zhiwei waved her hand, looking somewhat embarrassed. "Even if I didn't intervene, Ling Shuang could have taken care of them."
Also, please don't call me Senior Chu anymore.
That's too formal.
You should address me as Ancestor Chu, so that outsiders will immediately know that I am the Daoist partner of Zhang Chongxian, the ancestor of the Zhang family.
As she spoke, Chu Zhiwei kept glancing at Zhang Chongxian, and anyone could see the admiration in her eyes.
Zhang Xuanchen did not object to this at all.
The Ancestor values Yu Family even more than he does, so it's impossible for him to find a Daoist partner who would pose a threat to the Lineage.
The other party was also Ling Shuang's "savior".
More importantly, according to the Divine Ability powers of the Three Lives Samsara Mirror, Chu Zhiwei is simple-minded and not a villain.
He is a reliable person.
Zhang Xuanchen was overjoyed that his Ancestor had found such a Daoist partner, so how could he possibly object?
He immediately bowed respectfully to him, saying, "Junior Zhang Xuanchen greets Ancestor Chu!"
Others chimed in.
"Junior Zhang Guangyao (Zhang Guanghan...) pays respects to Ancestor Chu!"
"Haha, no need for such formalities, no need for such formalities." Chu Zhiwei was very pleased.
That would mean they've gained the approval of the Zhang Family's higher-ups.
It's simpler than I imagined.
"Feel free to be casual when you see me in the future. I don't like those complicated formalities."
"Yes, Ancestor Chu,"
Just then, Zhang Chongxian suddenly interrupted, "Alright, that's all for today."
There will be plenty of time to chat later.
Zhiwei, the gifts you prepared for the clansmen can be handed over to the General Affairs Hall later, and they will distribute them one by one.
As for now...
Zhang Chongxian turned his gaze to Zhang Xuanchen, "Xuan Chen, I just heard from a disciple of the Bihai Immortal Sect in Yunhua Immortal City that the Su Family no longer has the substance of the Golden Core Family."
What has happened in the Penglai Islands in the past two years?
When it came to serious matters, Zhang Xuanchen's smile vanished, and he solemnly said, "Ancestor, let's head to the Lineage's Main Hall."
This is not the place to talk.
"Walk."
After saying that, the group of high-ranking officials disappeared in front of the mountain gate.
Only a dozen or so clansmen remained, looking at each other in bewilderment, their expressions filled with agitation.
"Holy crap! Our Ancestor actually has a Daoist partner!"
His Daoist name Crimson Spear True Person.
Wouldn't that be a Golden Core cultivator?!
"Isn't that obvious? They're called True Person, so naturally they're at the Golden Core stage!"
"Hahaha, Ancestor, with Ancestor Chu, Old Ancestor Jun, and the Clan Leader's Wife, doesn't my Zhang Family now have four Golden Core cultivators?!"
The Bihai Immortal Sect is nothing!
"Hong Shui, shut your ass! And you fucking keep your voice down!"
Do you know what a secret is?
"When we're in the midst of a major battle with the Bihai Immortal Sect, we'll launch a surprise attack on them. What will they have to do to stop us?"
"Yes, yes, Hong Niu is right. I definitely won't talk nonsense, and I absolutely won't let anyone outside the Zhang Family know!"
"Hmm, this child is teachable!"
