Chapter 246
What was going on?
Grand Master Xuandu, who was resting with his eyes closed beneath a tree in the back courtyard of Tushita Palace, cultivating in his dreams, slowly opened his eyes. A trace of helplessness showed in them.
His teacher had assigned him another task.
Grand Master Xuandu calculated carefully and soon understood what had happened.
"Rare indeed. This time, I don't need to fight—just help Changshou lend some weight to the occasion."
Grand Master Xuandu chuckled and closed his eyes again.
This would not happen for another three years, so there was no need to hurry over. He could sleep a while longer... Ahem, cultivate a while longer.
Several months later;
Golden Ao Island.
Ao Yi rode a cloud out of the cave dwelling where he and Sir Jiang cultivated. He flew halfway around the outer edge of Golden Ao Island before descending at the edge of a peach blossom forest.
He cupped his hands in salute toward the front, then lifted his head and squared his shoulders. A faint smile rested on his youthful face as he called out:
"Ao Yi requests an audience with Martial Uncle Jinguang!"
"Eh?"
Peach blossoms swirled within the grove as two graceful figures emerged.
They were two young women. One wore a pale yellow short skirt, the other a fiery red long dress. The former was petite and exquisite, with a lovely face and smiling eyes. The latter's skin put frost and snow to shame; the collar of her long dress was like blazing flames, making her slender figure appear even more delicate.
Ao Yi searched his memories and recognized the latter at once. He hurriedly said, "Ao Yi greets Martial Uncle Jinguang and Senior Sister Huoling."
Holy Mother Huoling asked softly, "This is?"
Golden Light Holy Mother smiled.
