The Bigger Picture Comes First!

Xiao Yunqi suddenly smiled and said, "Since Miss Miaoxuan finds it inconvenient, then forget it. You can visit Lingxu Sect another day. I haven't seen much of this Cultivation World yet, and this trip Lower Realm to the mortal realm was just a convenient opportunity to tour its landscapes."

"How can this be, Saint Son Xiao? This place is near my Lingxu Sect, we should at least do our duty as hosts. Junior Sister, don't you think so!" Lin Jingxing kept giving Li Miaoxuan meaningful glances.

Li Miaoxuan remained expressionless, acting as if she hadn't seen anything.

Xiao Yunqi seemed unconcerned, cupping his hands and saying, "Miss Miaoxuan, Brother Lin, Daoist Friend, then we shall meet again another day!" After saying that, he turned around, and the Flying Boat beneath his feet turned around and quickly disappeared into the distance.

Lin Jingxing's face darkened, and he said, "Junior Sister Li, how can you be so petty? I know you are exceptionally talented and proud, but Young Master Xiao is the Saint Son of the Yunmeng Holy Land. Even the Sect Master treats him with respect. If you damage the relationship between the Sect and the Yunmeng Holy Land, can you bear the consequences?"

Li Miaoxuan said calmly, "Senior Brother Lin, don't forget that you are only the Deputy Envoy Lower Realm. I am in charge of all matters concerning the Sect. If you have any objections, you can report to the Sect Master when you return to the Spirit Realm. But for now, I ask Senior Brother Lin to obey the Sect's orders."

Lin Jingxing, "This matter concerns the interests of the Sect, so I have no choice but to say a few words. Junior Sister Li, please don't be offended. You should know what Saint Son Xiao is thinking. What's wrong with him?"

As the Saint Son of this sacred land, you will one day become the master of this sacred land. If you were to become dao companion with Saint Son Xiao, it would not only be a blessing for our Sect, but your path to immortality would also be smooth sailing!

Putting aside other matters, the Great Dream Heavenly Pond of the Yunmeng Holy Land is a top-tier place of fortuitous opportunity in the Cultivation World. If one were to forge Yin-Yang Dao Foundation there, the chance of breaking through to the Hun Tian Realm would increase by at least 30%. This is something that all cultivators in the world dream of.

Li Miaoxuan frowned and said, "Stop talking! This is my personal matter; don't involve the Sect!"

Lin Jingxing sighed and said, "Junior Sister, the honor and disgrace of the Sect and the individual are intertwined. Please consider this carefully. After all, it's for your own good and for the Sect's good. Don't be willful; you should also consider the bigger picture..."

"I've already said, don't say it again!" Li Miaoxuan's expression was indifferent. This kind of verbal blackmail angered her. The so-called "greater good" was nothing more than her own will being imposed on her.

She even knew that this wasn't Lin Jingxing's intention, but rather someone else's doing; otherwise, given her qualifications and cultivation, how could Lin Jingxing dare to say anything?

She came from the Floating World. Even though she had been cultivating the Cultivation Method of the Lingxu Sect since childhood, she was not nurtured by the Lingxu Sect the Spirit Realm. Her cultivation progressed so quickly that, in the eyes of some people, she was not entirely trustworthy.

In other words, given her background, even if her cultivation and talent were exceptionally high, it would be difficult for her to succeed the Lingxu Sect in the future.

Since that's the case, once you've obtained the Sect's resources, you must use them for the Sect 'Sect benefit.

Moreover, it seems that all of this is for her own good, and even her Master can't say much about it.

"Junior Sister Li..." Lin Jingxing about to say something more.

A cold glint flashed in Li Miaoxuan's eyes.

He clutched his head, pointing angrily at Li Miaoxuan: "You... Li Miaoxuan, how dare you lay a hand on me?"

Li Miaoxuan's face was frosty, a hint of murderous intent flashing across her body. She said, "Senior Brother Li, watch your words! You've gone a bit overboard. All the junior brothers here are watching. When have I ever laid a hand on you? There's a limit to your patience. If you dare to slander me again, don't blame me for being impolite."

"Fine, very well! Since Junior Sister Li is unwilling to accept my kindness, then I blame myself for speaking out of turn!" Lin Jingxing clenched his fists and took a deep breath.

The other four Celestial Person Beings from the Lingxu Sect exchanged glances but remained silent.

Lin Jingxing sat cross-legged on the other end of the Flying Boat with a gloomy expression.

On the other side, Xiao Yunqi stood at the top of the Flying Boat, playing with the Great Dream Thousand Autumn Fan in his hand.

"Your Saint Son, Li Miaoxuan seems rather aloof and unapproachable!" A Red Flower appeared at the bow of the ship, followed by a beautiful Red-Robed Woman stepping out.

At that moment, the surrounding Maid all froze, as if in a daze.

Xiao Yunqi smiled calmly, "That's the kind of personality that's fun. How could Vulgar Beauties be worthy of me, Xiao Yunqi?"

"Men are all shameless. I never thought even His Highness the Saint Son would be no exception." The Red-Robed Woman extended her slender white fingers to lift Xiao Yunqi's chin.

Xiao Yunqi tapped his Folding Fan on the woman's hand and said calmly, "Feng Jiuniang, put away your act in front of me, or I won't hesitate to personally deliver you to the Spirit Venerable."

The Red-Robed Woman chuckled, "Your Saint Son is truly heartless. You didn't say that that night."

Xiao Yunqi's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Where is what I asked for?"

The Red-Robed Woman stretched and said, "The Sword Lord said that as long as His Highness the Saint Son can do a small favor at the Loulan Assembly, the Glazed Illusion Seal will be offered to him without hesitation!"

"That's not what we said back then!" Xiao Yunqi's eyes flashed coldly.

Feng Jiuniang smiled and said, "This is one of the Yunmeng Nine Seals. With this, Your Saint Son can unify the nine seals, open the Yunmeng Platform, and forge a perfect foundation of Yin-Yang and Yang, thus making the path to Immortal Path attainable. Your Saint Son came from the Spirit Realm, intending to go to the Yunmeng Ancient Marsh Marshland in Beiyan Prefecture. Isn't this what you're after?"

Xiao Yunqi narrowed his eyes slightly. "You have Hidden Pawn within my Yunmeng Sect? Not many people in the Yunmeng Holy Land know about this. Who are they?"

Feng Jiuniang giggled, "Your Saint Son, why don't you take a guess!"

Xiao Yunqi snorted coldly, and with a flick of his Folding Fan, Feng Jiuniang's body scattered into countless petals that drifted down, and a voice could be heard from afar.

"Your Saint Son, I will come to see you again at the Loulan Assembly!"

Meanwhile, the Maid beside them resumed their movements, seemingly unaware of what had just happened.

The Flying Boat traveled onward and soon arrived at the Great Evolution Mountain.

Zhang Xuanlin clasped his hands and bowed slightly. "Welcome, Spirit Envoy from the Upper Realm."

Li Miaoxuan and her companions stepped out of the Flying Boat, Flying Boat transformed into a propaganda banner that flew into Li Miaoxuan's hand.

Li Miaoxuan smiled and returned the greeting, saying, "Sect Master, there's no need for such formalities."

The others returned the greeting one by one. Although some of them were even above Zhang Xuanlin in terms of cultivation, as sect Sect Master of the Lower Sect, they held extraordinary positions and would basically assume the position of Elder once they entered the Spirit Realm.

Only those who are highly trusted can take charge of the Lower Sect and have the right to communicate privately with the Sect Master the Upper Sect.

"Before the envoy, how dare I address him as Sect Master? Fellow disciples, let us address each other as Senior Brother, shall we?"

"I'll accept your invitation with utmost respect! Greetings, Senior Brother Zhang!"

The welcoming ceremony was conducted in accordance with the rituals of the Lingxu Sect.

Zhang Xuanlin personally escorted the six people to their residence in the Heavenly-Class Courtyard of Great Evolution Mountain.

Before leaving, Li Miaoxuan called out to Zhang Xuanlin.

"Senior Brother Zhang, may I have a private conversation with you for a few minutes?"
