124: Chapter 53: The Senior Predecessor of the Heaven Descending Clan_3 124: Chapter 53: The Senior Predecessor of the Heaven Descending Clan_3 “Elder Ancestor, you always scold me, but I haven’t done anything wrong.
I was quite clever when I arrived, but over the last two years, you’ve scolded me into stupidity.”
Li Dazhi glared and said, “Was it me who scolded you stupid?
It’s been two years, and you still can’t reconcile the accounts!
And now you’re arguing?
Wen Ling let out a light huff, her face the picture of grievance as she took her leave.
Li Dazhi raised his hand and rubbed his forehead.
He glanced at the second drawer to his left, pulled it open, and picked up the top piece from the box of ‘family heirloom Precious Jade’ within.
Li Dazhi had been meaning to throw away this piece of Precious Jade with ‘Wen Ling’ written on it, but as he lifted his hand, he slowly placed it back down.
‘Being slow isn’t much of an issue; the girl’s heart is still pretty kind.’
‘Besides, these days, which Immortal’s daughter doesn’t have an air of arrogance?
Who truly understands servitude?
Although timid and cowardly, if Wen girl is trained well, she could take care of Ping’an’s food and lodging without fault.’
‘The important thing is, this girl comes from humble beginnings and knows contentment at heart, which is a recipe for long-term happiness.’
Li Dazhi gave a wry smile, placed the jade pendant back in the drawer, and resumed immersing himself in the busy affairs of Castcloud Hall.
Meanwhile, within the Sea Watch Sect.
Several elders had dark expressions, and a group of disciples hung their heads low.
An elder of the Heavenly Immortal rank with a dark expression fiercely slammed the table, which was enveloped in an Immortal light barrier, and shouted angrily:
“A bunch of useless trash!”
The disciples were as quiet as cicadas in winter, heads bowed, daring not to make a sound.
One elder, who had a relatively mild temper, now raised his head and lamented,
“Who would’ve thought, despite our meticulous arrangements, the whole plan was ruined because Lin Hai’s Dao-heart was exploited by demons.
Perhaps this is fate.”
A Sea Watch Sect deacon said, “They say that the Wanyun Sect has acquired a Great Fate Holder who, in middle age, became an Immortal in three years and is now their Grand Wealth Immortal.
This Castcloud Hall was constructed by that Immortal, could there be some influence from that?”
I’ve also heard about that Great Wealth Immortal, and indeed, the fortune of the Wanyun Sect has been excessively good these few years.”
“Among the mundane Immortal Dynasties we control, how come we haven’t found such disciples?”
“That is said to be a mundane merchant…
should we conduct an additional talent and fate assessment targeting the merchants in the mundane world?”
Several elders were falling into that old Qi Cultivator’s habit of letting their chats drift off-topic.
An elder of the Yuan Sect rank hurried over, performed a bow at the side, and spoke loudly,
The previously sighted Senior Xu Sheng took a few junior disciples and two Wanyun Sect external elders to the Guanlan Tower in Guanlan City!”
An elder furrowed his brow and asked, “What are they doing there?”
“This,” the Immortal hesitated, “sounds somewhat unbelievable.
Senior Xu Sheng, a peak Great Perfection Heavenly Immortal and Artifact Refining Grandmaster, appears to be getting quite close to a disciple named Li Ping’an from the Wanyun Sect…
He even sent someone to invite the young talents of the Wei Yuan Sect to discuss the Tao with Li Ping’an?”
“What kind of nonsense is this?
Are you speaking nonsense?”
An elder said angrily,
“A peak Heavenly Immortal Great Perfection expert and an Artifact Refining Grandmaster like Senior Xu Sheng actively befriending a disciple?
Is this Li Ping’an the reincarnation of some Great Power from ancient times?”
That Grand Wealth Immortal of the Wanyun Sect is named Li Dazhi…”
The elders exchanged glances, their eyes suddenly filled with deeper meaning.
Since they’ve come to our doorstep, we should make a gesture.”
The central elder spoke slowly,
“Send someone to clear the place, book the entire Guanlan Tower, and call over all the notable Loose Cultivators in the city.
“Pick a few disciples from our Sea Watch Sect with the best comprehension, who have not yet become Immortals, to show their faces.
“They want to discuss the Tao, right?
If Senior Xu Sheng has arranged this, there must be a profound reason.
Though we don’t understand why Wei Yuan Sect is lowering themselves to such an extent, there’s something fishy whenever there’s an anomaly, so let’s join in the excitement.”
