There's no such thing as good without a reason.
Mo Chenxiao's high regard for Han Xuanji naturally had other reasons.
His master, the Holy Venerable Tianming, was a Saint King powerhouse in the Dao of Fate. He would carefully ponder the True Intention behind every action he took and every word he uttered.
It's just unknown how much of a surprise Han Xuanji will bring him.
Han Xuanji left the Nine Mysteries Palace and returned to her own palace.
He suddenly remembered two other things.
The whereabouts of the Dao Ancestor, and the beast tide in the Desolate Domain.
He kept these two things in mind, but he hadn't found the right time to bring them up.
Tonight is actually a good opportunity, but after thinking about it, he decided there was no need to rush.
Mo Chenxiao bestowed upon him a large amount of resources upon their first meeting, arranged matters concerning the Primal Chaos, and mentioned future fortuitous opportunity that needed to be contested. Asking him about other matters would seem to leave a bad impression.
Although Han Xuanji didn't know why the other party valued him so much, he couldn't push his luck, could he?
These things.
He planned to ask Leng Qianshuang about this senior sister after he met her in a few days.
Although Leng Qianshuang appears aloof, she is quite gentle towards her junior brother and would likely be willing to answer some of his questions.
What Han Xuanji didn't know was that, in the outside world, Leng Qianshuang had another, more well-known title—" The Cold-Faced Empress."
This reputation wasn't due to her abilities, but rather to her personality; it was considered an honor to have someone say a few words to her.
Meanwhile, in a pavilion Nine Mysteries City, Hui Feng held a communication jade talisman in his hand.
The voice of the True God Black Rock came from the other end of the jade talisman, tinged with a hoarse laugh:
"Do you think that if I had forced him to stay in the Chamber of Commerce, I would have actually harmed him?"
True God Black Rock's tone carried a mix of emotion, wistfulness, and a barely perceptible self-deprecation.
"When I first met him in Thousand Souls City, I knew this kid was no ordinary person."
I didn't expect him to have reached this point so quickly. A personal disciple of the Holy Lord... that's already a very important position in the Sacred Court, isn't it?
I've heard that this Nine Mysteries Holy Lord is of incomparably noble status, a standout among all Holy Lord.
Hui Feng didn't reply, remaining silent for a moment.
He could hear the complex emotions in True God Black Rock's words.
That little fellow who had just stepped into the realm of Eternal Dao Master is now a personal disciple of the Nine Mysteries Holy Lord, whose status and position are far above theirs.
Such a rapid change would leave anyone somewhat bewildered.
"He even helped me out of an awkward situation at the ceremony today."
Hui Feng finally spoke, with some emotion:
He remembers our past kindness and even thinks about visiting you someday.
After a moment of silence on the other end of the jade talisman, the voice of the True God Black Rock rang out again, tinged with a hint of relief:
"That's good. My former friend is now a valuable connection."
Don't let the difference in status create distance between you; it's precisely at times like these that you need to stay true to yourself.
He considers you a friend, so don't back down first.
Hui Feng put down the jade talisman, looked out the window in the direction of the Nine Mysteries Palace, and remained silent for a long while.
He admitted that he did hesitate for a moment, feeling that the gap between their current statuses was too large, and perhaps they should keep a proper distance in the future.
But after meeting Han Xuanji today, he realized he had been overthinking things.
Han Xuanji was still the same Han Xuanji, standing up for him with a casual tone, without the slightest hint of arrogance.
If he backs down first, he will be betraying this friendship.
Hui Feng withdrew his gaze, placed the jade talisman on the table, and didn't think about it anymore.
He never wanted anything from Han Xuanji; he got to where he is today through his own fortuitous opportunity and abilities.
He didn't want this relationship to become tainted.
Moreover, he was confident that one day he would be able to walk side by side with Han Xuanji.
Three days is neither a long nor a short time.
Han Xuanji did not deliberately put on airs as a disciple of the Holy Lord. During the day, he walked around the Nine Mysteries Palace and met with representatives of several forces that had close ties with the Nine Mysteries Palace. His attitude was neither humble nor arrogant. He was neither arrogant because he had gained power, nor was he overly humble and lost his status so that others would look down on him.
Those forces that had initially been somewhat hesitant began to lower their guard and speak with more sincerity upon seeing his demeanor.
Li Tiantong and Hun Qianling followed him around, each memorizing many names and faces, and at Han Xuanji's prompting, they also accepted some gifts.
These things were nothing to Han Xuanji, but they were a considerable fortune for the two of them.
At first, the two hesitated, feeling that they shouldn't accept something for nothing. Han Xuanji simply said, "If you don't accept it, others will feel uneasy," and then did not refuse any further.
As for the gift given to Han Xuanji, it was an astonishing fortune.
It's a level that even some impoverished Eternal Sage would envy.
Han Xuanji was not short of resources, and still had the two carefully put away the gifts, already planning how to use this wealth in the future.
This can be considered his legitimate wealth, and he can use it however he wants.
This time, Li Tiantong unusually offered his opinion:
"Brother Han, this... we dare not take so much."
"Please accept this first. Many more people will be coming later. Consider this resource my investment in you."
Han Xuanji said calmly.
Li Tiantong's expression shifted, as if he understood something.
Times have changed. Although Han Xuanji is only a minor Eternal Dao Master, as a disciple of the Holy Lord, he is fully capable of cultivating a group of loyal followers.
And what trusted confidant could be more trustworthy than disciples and fellow practitioners from the same place?
This day.
Leng Qianshuang has arrived.
She remained aloof and elegant, dressed in a long, moon-white dress, her steps neither hurried nor slow. When she reached the entrance of the Dustless Palace, the guards at the gate were about to announce her arrival, but she raised her hand to indicate that it was unnecessary and walked straight in.
Han Xuanji had been waiting in the main hall for a long time.
Leng Qianshuang's gaze lingered on him for a moment before she cut to the chase:
"My master sent me to ask you when you will depart for your Primal Chaos. If you are ready, I can go with you at any time."
Han Xuanji's heart stirred slightly, and she said gratefully:
"Thank you for your help, senior sister. I'm available anytime."
Leng Qianshuang nodded:
"Let's go now."
Since she had nothing better to do, and she was always decisive, she naturally wouldn't hold back.
After she finished speaking, she did not turn around and leave immediately. Instead, she gave Han Xuanji a rare look, her eyes filled with a thoughtful expression.
Han Xuanji was somewhat puzzled by her gaze and couldn't help but ask:
"Does Senior Sister have any other questions?"
Leng Qianshuang remained silent for a moment, then spoke with a rare hint of curiosity in her tone:
"I never knew you were Transcendent."
