At the same time.
Luming Garden.
The courtyard gates were gently opened from outside, and a group of young people led by Xinglan Goddess entered from beyond the gate.
With the air of tourists admiring the scenery, they strolled leisurely along the path through the courtyard toward the pavilion.
These young people were all outstanding figures among the younger generations of the major factions, brilliant talents ranked near the top of the Divine Radiance List.
Each of them was an idol in the hearts of the young people throughout the Immortal Realm, ruling their own hilltops. It was rare for so many of them to gather so neatly in one place.
However, Wang Shouzhe had been busy these past two days, so Xinglan Goddess had temporarily taken charge of receiving them.
"Xinglan, I never expected your Wuji Divine Palace to have a courtyard as breathtakingly beautiful as Luming Garden." Junhao God-Child walked beside Xinglan Goddess with a sword case on his back, his white robes fluttering like an unparalleled young sword god.
Smiling, he teasingly complained to Xinglan Goddess in a familiar tone. "Why didn't you let me stay in Luming Garden when I visited last time? Isn't that a little too much preferential treatment?"
Xinglan Goddess shot him a faint glare, her tone openly disdainful. "Do you have lots and lots of money? Why should I let you stay in Luming Garden?"
Junhao God-Child's expression froze, then his face fell as he looked deeply aggrieved. "What has the world come to? The younger sisters are becoming more and more realistic. Are sword cultivators as strong and handsome as me losing their market value? Is having money really so amazing?"
"Not exactly. With that face of yours, you can still fool little girls who haven't seen much of the world."
