It's Only Natural!
"So... you used this ' Heaven-Stealing Day-Swapping Talisman ' to change your appearance and get into the sect?"
Zhou Hao held a cyan jade talisman in his hand. The talisman contained runes that seemed to form an ancient character for "change" within them.
"Mm." Liu Yu nodded gently.
Now that she had revealed her true identity to her senior brother, the initial shyness and panic had completely disappeared. She looked at Zhou Hao and smiled sweetly, "Changsheng Brother Changsheng, do you not like my identity as a woman?"
"It's not that I don't like it," Zhou Hao shook his head, "I just think I'm really stupid. I've known you for so long, and I've never thought of it this way before."
Seeing Liu Yu so suddenly felt like a dream, leaving him no time to think about it.
Now that I've calmed down and am reflecting on everything that happened before, I realize that there were actually some clues that had already been revealed.
For example, when I first arrived at Mystic Turtle Island, the Mystic Turtle Immortal had given me a hint, but I didn't pay attention to it at the time.
Later, after entering the Profound Heaven Realm sect, I wondered why the inner sect of Morning Jade Peak, which has always only accepted female disciples, would have a Yuan Shen elder of Morning Jade Peak accept 'Junior Brother Liu Yu ' as a disciple, and why Senior Sisters such as Nishang and Liang Han were on good terms with 'Junior Brother Liu Yu '.
Now that we know the truth, everything becomes clear.
"Hehe, Changsheng Brother Changsheng, I just found out too. Senior Sister Jade Cicada knew all along." Lin Xia'er laughed from the side.
"Yu'er said she would tell you after returning to the Xia Clan Great World, so I didn't mention it." Yun Yuchan smiled at Liu Yu. "This time, she went to Antan Commandery to pick us up in advance because she was hesitant about whether to tell you."
"If you don't tell me, do you intend to continue keeping it from me alone?" Zhou Hao smiled wryly.
This ' Heaven-Stealing Day-Swapping Talisman ' is of a high grade; even the divine sense of Loose Immortal or Earth Immortal cannot easily detect it. One must possess the supernatural power of cultivating one's eyes, or have one's divine soul reach the level of mental awareness to be able to decipher it.
"Liu Yu Brother Liu Yu, uh, Junior Sister." Zhou Hao shook his head, realizing he didn't know how to address her after this sudden change in status.
"Just call me Yu'er, that's what my sister's family always calls me," Liu Yu said with a smile.
"Yu'er." Zhou Hao handed over the Heaven-Stealing Day-Swapping Talisman, "This talisman is also a rare treasure, you should keep it safe."
"Hmm." Liu Yu reached out and took it.
When their hands touched, Zhou Hao felt her palms were warm, soft, and smooth, as if boneless, and his heart couldn't help but flutter again.
A delicate blush also appeared on Liu Yu's fair and smooth face.
Previously, the two had been fellow disciples and lived on the same mountain, so physical contact was common.
But now, with a man and a woman, a senior brother and a junior sister, the feeling is different.
Their eyes met involuntarily, and the flower-lined corridor seemed to become somewhat enchanting.
Seeing this, Lin Xia'er and Yun Yuchan smiled, but neither of them wanted to say anything and break the atmosphere between the two.
Sudden--
"Auntie, we heard that your senior brother has arrived, so we came to see him." A clear voice came from afar.
Zhou Hao and the others turned their heads and saw a group of people walking towards them from the other end of the covered walkway.
Leading the group were the young marquis ' Jiang Yao 'Ji Jinle whom he had met earlier, and the Jiang Clan's 'Young Master Jiang Yao'.
Behind them were men and women, each with an extraordinary air about them; it was clear at a glance that they were the chosen ones from the major powers of Guangling City.
"Senior brother, that's my sister's son, Ji Jinle. The others are young masters and ladies from top tribes and sects in Guangling Prefecture. I'm not familiar with them," Liu Yu transmitted his voice.
When she went to the sect, Ji Jinle was not yet born, and the two had only met for the first time a month ago.
However, due to her sister's relationship, Liu Yu and Ji Jinle had an excellent relationship. Although she disliked that Ji Jinle had brought people to interrupt her reunion with her senior brother, she didn't take it personally. She nodded slightly to everyone and introduced Ji Jinle, "Jinle, this is my senior brother, the Immortal Changsheng Zhou Hao."
"The Immortal of Changsheng." Ji Jinle bowed respectfully.
"Jinle." Zhou Hao nodded slightly, and with a flick of his hand, a black jade bottle appeared in his hand. "Since it's our first meeting, I don't know who Yu'er's family is, so I didn't bring any gifts. This bottle of ' Coldflame Divine Thunder ' was refined by a Loose Immortal, and its power is quite good. You can take it and play with it."
Ji Jinle was taken aback.
Is this treating me like a junior?
As a dignified young marquis, he was always treated as an equal by even Primordial Spirit Daoist in Guangling City. This was the first time he had ever been treated as a junior by a Myriad Phenomena True Person of the same rank.
However, considering that he and Aunt Yu'er were fellow disciples, in terms of seniority, he was indeed a generation younger.
Besides, there are so many outsiders here. I'm just a junior, but I can't let my aunt's senior brother lose face.
"Thank Changsheng, Immortal Changsheng." Ji Jinle accepted the jade bottle with both hands.
The other young masters and ladies mostly looked displeased when they saw Zhou Hao acting so arrogantly.
Some were even waiting for Jinle to introduce the two parties so they could give him a good scathing rebuke.
He's just a Myriad Phenomena True Person), yet he dares to act like an elder or senior in the Marquis's mansion.
To everyone's surprise, after Zhou Hao greeted Ji Jinle and gave her a small gift, he completely ignored the others.
"Yu'er, I came here first to see you and your two junior sisters," Zhou Hao said to Liu Yu. "I didn't return to the tribe in the Great Wild Plains last time, so I need to go back and check on them today."
"Your senior brother's tribe?" Liu Yu's eyes lit up. "I'll go with you."
She had waited for her senior brother for almost a month, and when they finally met, she hadn't even exchanged a few words with him. She was unwilling to part ways like this.
"Senior Sister Jade Cicada, Junior Sister Xia'er, are you going?" Liu Yu asked the two women.
"We're not going," Yun Yuchan and Lin Xia'er both shook their heads.
The three women had been alone together for the past few days, and they all knew what Liu Yu was thinking, so naturally they didn't want to get in her way.
"You're coming with me?" Zhou Hao asked, puzzled. "Isn't there a banquet at the Marquis of Guangling's Estate tonight?"
"I haven't seen what my senior brother's tribe looks like yet, so I'll go and take a look," Liu Yu said. "The main guests at the Marquis's banquet are my brother-in-law and sister, not me, so it doesn't matter."
Seeing the expectation in Liu Yu's eyes, Zhou Hao smiled slightly, "My tribe is very small, just don't feel uncomfortable. Since you want to go, let's go."
"Senior brother, I have the Marquis's Mansion token. I can move freely within the manor without being restricted." Liu Yu's eyes sparkled as she reached out and took Zhou Hao's hand.
Just like when Zhou Hao took her to teleport through the void.
"Senior Sister Jade Cicada, Junior Sister Xia'er, wait for my senior brother and me to return, then we'll go back to Antan Commandery together," Liu Yu said to Yun Yuchan and Lin Xia'er.
Wow!
A ripple spread through the space, and the two figures vanished into thin air.
"Senior sister, let's go too." Lin Xia'er and Yun Yuchan nodded to Ji Jinle, and the two women turned and walked towards the waterside pavilion deep in the flower pond.
In the blink of an eye, only Ji Jinle and her group remained in the entire flower-lined corridor.
"It seems that the Immortal of Changsheng is my aunt's sweetheart." Ji Jinle touched her nose and looked at Jiang Yao beside her.
He knew that ever since he had seen his aunt by chance a few days ago, Jiang Yao had been thinking about her constantly.
The group lingered in the garden of the Marquis's mansion for a long time today, perhaps because the other party still harbored the idea of seeing her beauty again.
Sure enough, Jiang Yao's expression turned rather unpleasant.
"That's incredibly arrogant!"
"We came here hoping to get to know each other, and they didn't even say hello."
"Jinle, has Fairy Yu become a Daoist couple with that Changsheng?"
The others were also extremely dissatisfied.
They were used to being arrogant in Guangling City, and even when they went to Tianbao Mountain, they were always treated with respect. It was the first time they had ever been ignored by Master Wanxiang.
"Why are you all standing here?" a clear voice rang out.
Then everyone saw two maids leading a handsome young nobleman from a distance.
"Brother Sheng."
"Jiang Sheng"
Everyone bowed in greeting.
"Big brother." Jiang Yao's face also lit up with joy. "Why are you only coming back today?"
The newcomer was none other than Jiang Sheng, the most outstanding disciple of the Jiang Clan in this generation. Although he was more than ten years older than the others, he was also a Myriad Phenomena True Person, but he was comparable to an ordinary Primordial Spirit Daoist. Among the young masters of Guangling City, he was extremely prestigious.
"I spent my time venturing north, honing my skills in the Beiming. I was supposed to return a few days ago, but a major event occurred in Antan Commandery, so I stayed a few more days," Jiang Sheng said with a smile. "What were you discussing just now? Why do you look so displeased?"
Returning home after a long journey, and seeing his brothers and close friends again, he was undoubtedly in a very good mood.
"They're talking about a Myriad Phenomena True Person who's far too arrogant."
"He acted like an elder to Young Jinle and completely ignored us..."
Everyone started talking at once.
"Everyone," Ji Jinle said, her face already showing impatience during the discussion, now even more annoyed by their continued mention of him, "That's my aunt's senior brother. Even when he sees my parents, he treats them as equals, so what's wrong with him regarding me as a junior? As for not having befriended you all, does that mean he can't be aloof and not enjoy making friends?"
If these people weren't all sons of powerful figures from their respective elite families, and weren't guests at his home, given his temperament, the young marquis would have already stormed off if they were outside.
"Jinle right," Jiang Sheng said seriously. "You all stay in Guangling City and never go out to explore. You've all become arrogant. Just because someone doesn't associate with you, you think you're disrespectful? You even look down on Myriad Phenomena True Person. How many of the peerless masters among Myriad Phenomena True Person have you actually met?"
No one understood why.
"Didn't I just say that a major event happened in Antan Commandery?" Jiang Sheng continued, "A sect with a history of 60 million years, called the ' Blood God Sect,' which had eight Immortals, including its leader, was destroyed by the combined forces of the Antan Beishan Clan and the Yinglong Guard. And the person who ordered the destruction of this sect was none other than a Myriad Phenomena True Person."
"What."
"Even in our Guangling Prefecture, this kind of sect is only weaker than the Ji Clan and Jiang Clan. How could it be wiped out so easily?"
"Brother Sheng, what is the identity of that Myriad Phenomena True Person?"
The group of people were astonished and pressed for answers.
Even Ji Jinle couldn't fathom the identity of the Myriad Phenomena True Person who could issue orders to the An Tan Beishan Clan and the Yinglong Guard.
It should be noted that even his father, the Marquis of Guangling, treated the most powerful tribal sects in the prefecture with courtesy and would not easily resort to violence.
"That was the Inspector General of the Yinglong Guard 'An'Tan Branch. Although he was Myriad Phenomena True Person, his strength was enough to easily kill immortals. He single-handedly killed the Seven Dharma Kings of the Blood God Sect, seven renowned Loose Immortal," Jiang Sheng exclaimed. "Later, seeing that the Blood God Sect was about to be wiped out, they resorted to a suicide attack, but that Inspector General activated his second avatar, resolving a calamity. Only then did everyone realize that his second avatar was actually Void Return level god-demon, a super existence comparable to a Celestial Immortal..."
The group of people in the corridor held their breath.
"Brother, what is the name of that Myriad Phenomena True Person?" Jiang Yao asked with admiration and respect, deeply impressed by the inspector of the Yinglong Guard Antan Commandery that his elder brother had mentioned.
This is truly a peerless figure.
In comparison, these young masters who rely on their family's power to hide in a corner and act arrogantly are far inferior.
"That being is named Zhou Hao, and his Daoist name is ' Changsheng '," Jiang Sheng sighed. "Now, in Antan Commandery, people no longer call him Changsheng), but rather Chang Sheng Xianren (Immortal of Changsheng)."
The Immortal of Changsheng, Zhou Hao?
The group of people looked at each other in bewilderment.
Was that person just now the peerless figure Jiang Sheng mentioned who had just wiped out the most powerful clan sect in the county, and whose second avatar was even at the Celestial Immortal level?
No wonder they ignored us.
For beings comparable to celestial beings, isn't this a matter of course?
First update.
