In just one short morning, everything that happened at the conferment ceremony was enough to rock the entire Canglong Dynasty.
Ye Xiu, in the position of the Holy Son, was killed with one sword by everyone's so-called "waste of space"!
Ye Xiu summoned the king-level demonic beast Zi Yi Tian Peng as well as a Star Emperor powerhouse, injuring the North Ice Star Emperor. Ultimately, the North Ice Star Emperor fled!
Yue Guan, who was most likely to become the Guardian General, was thrown into prison. Then the Retired Emperor personally announced that Ye Haotian would defend his title of Guardian General!
The conferment ceremony continued until nightfall before it finally ended.
After that, the Retired Emperor specially held a night banquet.
Canglong Lake.
The largest lake within the imperial palace. Banquet tables were placed all around it, with lotus lanterns floating on the lake's surface, rippling slightly. It was amazingly picturesque.
Ye Xiu sat alone on a painted barge.
His father was being toasted by all the major nobles, but he didn't like those people in power. As for Mo Lao, he didn't let Mo Lao stay for long, since this was Canglong Imperial Palace, so there was no need.
Thus, Ye Xiu was sitting alone on the painted barge, drifting along with the waves.
Watching the ripples on the lake surface, he thought to himself: When will I be able to take my nine fairy sisters on a boat and appreciate such a beautiful scene together?
Just then, an exquisite figure descended onto the painted barge Ye Xiu was on, graceful as a heavenly fairy. Moonlight spilled down, casting a faint silvery veil over her already jade-like complexion, making her appear even more dazzling and translucent.
Ye Xiu looked up and the delight in his eyes gradually chilled as well.
The newcomer was none other than Cang Xuanyue.
Cang Xuanyue stepped lightly on the moonbeams and sat gently across from Ye Xiu.
"Brother Ye Xiu," her voice was as melodious as a hundred singing birds, soothing to listen to. It was like an electric current running through him, making his whole body tingle.
A hint of light flashed through Ye Xiu's eyes. It had been three years since their broken engagement, so this was the first time she had called him that again.
Cang Xuanyue's beautiful eyes lowered and she gave a self-deprecating laugh, "Brother Ye Xiu, it's only right that you ignore me. After all, it was Xuanyue who wronged you. For what happened three years ago, I should take the blame."
Tears shimmered in Cang Xuanyue's eyes, evoking sympathy.
She looked towards the faint ripples on the lake surface, "When we were young, we often sat together like this on painted barges, appreciating the scenic beauty of Canglong Lake..."
Memories slowly surfaced in her mind. Although Ye Xiu hadn't experienced those events himself, that beautiful time was deeply engraved in his impressions.
"Those were really wonderful memories," Ye Xiu slowly turned his head, his cold eyes fixed on Cang Xuanyue, "But three years ago, why did you have to act so cruelly?"
From childhood until now, she had never been so heartless towards him.
Ever since their broken engagement three years ago, Cang Xuanyue hadn't said a single word to him for a full three years!
"I, Cang Xuanyue..." she began tremblingly.
Just then, a golden radiance as dazzling as the sun suddenly enveloped the pitch-black night sky.
In that moment, countless people were incredibly shocked as they looked up.
Having just experienced the upheaval Ye Xiu had caused that morning, the first thought in most people's minds was that this must be another move by Ye Xiu - had he called out to another expert?
Cang Xuanyue closed her mouth, a teardrop rolling down her cheek before she lightly wiped it away. Her expression hardened back into remote iciness.
Watching Cang Xuanyue's retreating figure, Ye Xiu couldn't help but feel that three years ago, her annulment of their engagement may not have been what she truly wanted, but rather, something she was forced into against her will!
He walked to the prow of the boat. The blinding golden light forced him to raise a hand to shade his eyes.
Ye Xiu's eyes faintly trembled.
Above the night sky, a golden lotus was suspended over Canglong Lake.
A woman clothed in snowy white robes sat upon the golden lotus, ethereal as a dream. Her face was veiled, but with just her eyes revealed, their gaze alone caused all surrounding scenery to dim in comparison.
One could well imagine that beneath the veil must be a shockingly peerless beauty.
"The Immortal Lotus Sanctum has come to pay a visit to the Canglong Dynasty!" Her voice was gentle yet cold, piercing to the bone. It contained a commanding pressure that shook heaven and earth.
As her voice faded, countless people froze in place, stunned.
Even Cang Yang and the others couldn't help their eyes violently shaking as they gazed up in awe.
The Immortal Lotus Sanctum - in the Star Continent, who didn't know this existence?
As one of the Nine Great Sanctums occupying the nine Central Domains, they were the overlord of the two prefectures!
For a time, apart from shock, continuous exclamations of awe rose one after another.
"We greet the Fairy Maiden of the Immortal Lotus Sanctum!"
Cang Yang glanced at Cang Xuanyue, then shot a look at Ye Xiu on the boat. He couldn't help but sigh, such was the hand of fate.
Just then, the woman on the golden lotus slowly spoke, her voice divine, "Xuanyue, have you let go of everything now?"
Cang Xuanyue slowly raised her head, "Master, Xuanyue has let go."
"Good. Then come back with me." As she finished speaking, a swirl of golden divine light descended and brought Cang Xuanyue directly onto the golden lotus.
Watching this scene, Ye Xiu's eyes wildly shook. Xuanyue had joined the Immortal Lotus Sanctum!
Ye Xiu was caught completely off guard.
Cang Xuanyue's beautiful eyes lowered again and she exchanged one final glance with Ye Xiu, the guilt in her eyes gradually being concealed.
"Brother Ye Xiu, I'm sorry. Seeing that you've grown up now, I can rest assured..."
"Farewell."
Pain wrenched Cang Xuanyue's heart.
From this day forth, Cang Xuanyue would be the Immortal Lotus Sanctum's Saintess!
As this voice faded, the golden lotus transformed into rays of golden light tens of thousands of feet long before disappearing into the dark night.
Ye Xiu's gaze flickered. Indeed, you're still keeping things from me, aren't you?
Just now, what were you trying to tell me?
saw a female celebrity tied up and stuffed in the trunk! Little did he know, countless cameras were aimed at him at this moment - this was a new type of reality show. The first randomly selected passerby was caught in less than an hour. But when Xu Moru was selected, things started to take an unexpected turn. "Damn, this isn't how the script goes. This Xu Moru is too bold, he's not following the rules at all." "Crap, is this guy taking it seriously?" "The female celebrity has been scared to tears!"

And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
