"Oh, Father, there's news about Aunt Qing Yan Jing. Would you like to hear it?"
Inside the Ninth Layer of the Heavenly Strategy Manor, in White Jade Capital's Capital City.
At Xiao Bai Ying's words, Xiao Tian Ce paused, then nodded. "How is she? So many years have passed in the blink of an eye. Surely she isn't still traveling around the Great Thousand World?"
Xiao Bai Ying shook her head. "Aunt Qing Yan Jing has already returned to the Buddha Gu Clan, but she seems to have been confined recently."
"Confined?"
Both Xiao Tian Ce and Medusa looked puzzled. Qing Yan Jing was the Buddha Gu Clan's holy maiden, after all. Unless something unexpected happened, she would be its next Clan Chief.
Unless it was something serious, Fu Tu Xuan would never have confined her, given the way he handled things.
Could she have already met Mu Feng and even given birth to Mu Chen? Xiao Tian Ce could not help wondering.
Logically, the timing did not fit, but the timeline of The Great Ruler was not particularly clear either, so it was not impossible.
Besides, cultivators did not place much importance on things like age.
Meeting Xiao Tian Ce's and Medusa's gazes, Xiao Bai Ying nodded. "Yes. I only heard about it two days ago from some Buddha Gu Clan members who came to White Jade Capital to train. Apparently, Great Elder Fu Tu Xuan wanted Aunt Qing Yan Jing to enter a marriage alliance with Mohe Tian of the Maha Gu Clan. Aunt Qing Yan Jing refused, and things reached an impasse.
"Great Elder Fu Tu Xuan was furious and even fought Aunt Qing Yan Jing. In the end, he had to use the Buddha Gu Clan's clan-guarding peerless sacred artifact, the Ancestral Tower, to suppress her."
