Qing Su, the Immortal, arrived with a sweep of his sleeve and gracefully took his seat.

The two exclusive recliners belonging to this master and disciple were now facing each other.

Li Ping’an rose to pay his respects, inquiring after his master’s well-being, and then slumped back onto the recliner, his eyes gradually losing their luster.

Wen Ling’er came with small, quick steps, bringing tea and pastries.

The tea was the floral kind Qing Su favored, sweet and refreshing;

The pastries were the honeyed fruits Qing Su loved to eat, freshly made yesterday.

“Thank you,” Qing Su softly expressed his gratitude.

Once Wen Ling’er had left, he turned to Li Ping’an and asked, “Disciple, have you been bullied at Caiyun Peak?”

“The senior sisters of Caiyun Peak are beautiful and so pleasant to talk to, how could they ever bully me?”

Li Ping’an cleared his throat and sat up straight.

“Master, you must come with me to Yuan Sect later!”

“Hmm,” Qing Su slowly nodded, “I’ve had no inspiration to seclude myself lately; as you arrange, it will be.

Is Yuan Sect challenging us to a Magical Combat?”

“It’s not Magical Combat.”

Li Ping’an sustained the Jade Talisman with mana and handed it over to Qing Su.

Qing Su pinched the Jade Talisman and examined it carefully, his lips curling slightly in a hint of disdain.

He said, “Sea Watch Sect’s misdeeds need not be taken too seriously.

Overpowering them with sheer strength is all that’s necessary.

In contests between sects, it eventually comes down to the number of Golden Immortals and Heavenly Immortals each has.”

Li Ping’an smiled, “Master speaks truly, but our visit to Yuan Sect this time is for the construction of a branch hall for Castcloud Hall.

Let the other sects join in the hustle if they wish; we just need to prepare a bit more and not neglect the essentials.”

Qing Su asked, “What preparations do you need me to make?”

“None for you, just by standing there, you will naturally command the scene,” Li Ping’an chuckled, “I shall consult with the Sect Leader shortly.”

Qing Su frowned and said, “The Sect Leader isn’t someone you can see whenever you wish.

When facing the Sect Leader, we must always be respectful…

that’s how my master taught me.”

Li Ping’an hastily agreed, his Primordial Soul standing hands behind back and gazing skyward at his spiritual platform.

He truly hadn’t been boasting.

He was more than capable of seeing the Sect Leader whenever he wished, and now when the Sect Leader privately met him, he would even call him…

Grandmaster.

…

“Grandmaster, what brings you to see this poor Daoist today?”

Three nights before Li Dazhi set off, Li Ping’an stealthily made his way to the corner of Wanyun Hall, the main peak, and slipped into the Sect Leader of Wanyun Sect’s little house.

The room of Immortal Yun Mo was arranged quite simply, with only a bed, a table, and a meditation cushion.

The only highlight of this room was the beautiful view of the Wanyun peaks submerged in a sea of clouds when the window was opened.

“Sect Leader.”

Li Ping’an respectfully performed a Daoist salute, insisting on formalities with the Sect Leader.

He said, “My father is about to depart for Yuan Sect.

I’ve been unable to find peace, tossing and turning in thought, hence my nocturnal visit to see you!”

“Oh?

You’ve heard about it?”

The Sect Leader lifted the hem of his Daoist robe, settled his legs on the edge of the bed and smiled, saying:

“Come, sit down and let’s talk.”

“I’ll stand, thank you,” Li Ping’an smiled, “I’m an Inner Sect Disciple of Wanyun Sect, how can I be disrespectful in front of the Sect Leader.”

The Sect Leader immediately beamed with a smile: “You and your father are bringing all these worldly formalities to the cultivation world, making everyone act polite and sophisticated, which isn’t good.”

But it felt comfortable.

The Sect Leader asked, “Have you heard that Sea Watch Sect intends to make trouble at Yuan Sect?”

“Alas,” Li Ping’an sighed, “It’s only because I couldn’t hold back in the East Sea and debated with them, diminishing their face twice over, causing trouble for our sect.”

“Ah!”

The Sect Leader frowned and said:

“When someone slaps us, should we not kick back?

“You’ve said it yourself, you’re just a disciple of Wanyun Sect, there’s no need for you to worry about the sect’s troubles.

We old ones aren’t dead yet; just be frank and upkeep the dignity of our sect, that’s all!”

“I have learned my lesson,” Li Ping’an replied.

Li Ping’an smiled and nodded, then inquired further:

“Then Sect Leader, how should we deal with this matter?”

The Sect Leader pondered for a moment, his youthful middle-aged features showing a touch of concern.

He said:

“Sea Watch Sect is rotten from head to tail.

I’ve heard Grandmaster Kongming mention a few times that the Golden Immortal ancestors of Sea Watch Sect were also a bunch of temperamental folks, albeit all upright characters.

“Sea Watch Sect has been humiliated by us several times, and this time, they surely want to redeem themselves.

“This is your father’s first mission abroad, and it also relates to the future developments of Wanyun Sect.

The Great Wealth Immortal is our front figure…

of course, Great Enlightenment, the almost-Immortal, counts as a small figure too.”

Li Ping’an could only offer a wry smile.

The Sect Leader thought intently for a while, his eyes gaining a hint of decisiveness as he stood up and declared:

“I shall request our Golden Immortal ancestors to come out of seclusion!”

“Sect Leader!”

Li Ping’an quickly responded:

“Most of the Golden Immortal ancestors were heroes in the war against the Hundred Clans.

They are all well-acquainted with each other, which could easily lead to discord.”

The Sect Leader replied: “No matter, the Golden Immortal ancestors need not show themselves but must be there to support in the background.

Without Heavenly Immortals, no matter how many are sent, they can’t stabilize the situation.”

Li Ping’an felt relieved and gave the Sect Leader a Daoist salute: “In that case, on behalf of my father, I thank the Sect Leader for his concern!”

Suddenly, the Sect Leader blinked and frowned at Li Ping’an.

He had a nagging feeling that he had been unwittingly drawn into this Grandmaster’s scheme.

Li Ping’an’s face was the picture of loyalty and innocence, his gaze as clear as could be, asking, “Is something the matter, Sect Leader?”

“No, nothing.

Go back now, you Grandmaster,” the Sect Leader said.

Li Ping’an smiled and excused himself.

After leaving Wanyun Hall, he went straight to the Mundane Affairs Hall to meet with Elder Yansheng.

An hour later, an external sect elder rushed towards the shore of the East Sea with a Messaging Jade Talisman in hand.

A True Immortal messenger indeed, what luxury.

In the next three days, the Wanyun Sect gateway gradually stirred with activity.

It began with Miaoyun Hall posting a notice, officially announcing that Wanyun Sect would soon construct a branch hall of Castcloud Hall at the friendly Yuan Sect.
