Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law
Chapter 502 - 500: Arrival at the Celestial Palace, Newly Appointed Silver Envoy!
After thinking seriously for a while, Lu Ye sighed.
"Xiyao Fairy, it’s truly a shame you’re not a persuader."
With this series of persuasive arguments, Lu Ye had to admit he was indeed moved.
"So, how about it? Join us, I know you’re worried about constraints. With your strength, even the Celestial Palace won’t overly limit your freedom."
Sang Xiyao said, "Actually, we have plenty of free time ourselves, it’s only when something like the Nine-headed Insect rampage happens that we need to take action and handle it."
"During other times, you arrange your schedule yourself."
After pondering for a moment, Lu Ye finally nodded: "Alright, Xiyao Fairy, you really convinced me."
Hearing his agreement to join the Celestial Palace, Sang Xiyao immediately smiled.
"Got you this time for sure!"
"Well then, are you ready to come back to the Celestial Palace with me now? We will make a special Identity Jade Token for you and provide attire. With your strength, you should be among the Silver Envoys."
A moment later, Sang Xiyao said with a smile: "From now on, we’ll be colleagues."
Having made the decision, Lu Ye didn’t hesitate and said with a nod: "Whenever you’re ready, just lead the way, I’ll go with you."
"Alright, follow me."
The next instant, Sang Xiyao transformed into a beam of light and flew towards the sky ahead, with Lu Ye following closely behind.
On the way, Sang Xiyao held back and did not immediately inform the Master of the Celestial Palace, intending to wait until she brought him there.
Do you know what a surprise is!
The two, both Earth Realm Grandmasters, naturally didn’t need to say much about their speed.
After a short while, they arrived outside the enormous array of the Lingyao Celestial Palace, where Lu Ye had previously visited.
Looking at the flawless shield array, Lu Ye sighed somewhat, wondering when he could arrange such a perfect, integrated shield array.
"Xiyao Fairy, has this shield array been arranged long ago, or is it arranged now?" After a moment of thought, watching Sang Xiyao preparing to take out the Jade Token and open an entrance, Lu Ye asked.
Upon hearing the question, Sang Xiyao said: "It must have been set up a long time ago; in today’s Xuanzhou, or even the continent, where else are there Array Grandmasters of this level?"
"Look, Mr Chen, I’ve told you something outsiders definitely wouldn’t know; you can’t back out at the critical moment, Xiyao could get punished."
Lu Ye: "..."
Such questions, are they truly considered confidential?
However, since the decision has been made and they’re already outside the Celestial Palace gate, Lu Ye had no intention of backing out at this time.
Doing so now would just waste time and sour relations with the Lingyao Celestial Palace, which is unnecessary.
As Sang Xiyao joked, the Token also opened a passage for entry.
"Follow me."
Lu Ye followed her inside, once again feeling the rich Heaven and Earth Source Qi washing over him.
Above the surrounding sky, islands floated with many exquisite buildings atop them.
In this misty scene, it truly felt like a paradise on earth.
It’s undoubtedly the most fitting place for what people imagine a celestial realm to be.
Soon, the two arrived at the largest main island.
Lu Ye was quite familiar with the buildings here, having visited once before.
The moment they landed, the Palace Master sitting in the main hall noticed them and immediately straightened up, exclaiming lightly.
"Oh... why has this person been brought back again?"
Moments later, Sang Xiyao accompanied Lu Ye into the main hall and respectfully said: "Palace Master, I’ve brought Fellow Daoist Chen back. With the previous incident of the double-headed Void Nine-headed Insect, Fellow Daoist Chen was a step ahead of me and handled it."
"Oh? That’s quite a coincidence." The Master of the Celestial Palace looked at Lu Ye and smiled slightly: "Mr Chen, long time no see, you’ve changed quite a bit."
"Greetings, Palace Master, nothing escapes your perceptive eyes." Hearing this, Lu Ye clasped his hands respectfully, and also smiled.
With the Celestial Palace Master’s strength, even though he now used the Myriad Dao Pavilion to conceal part of his strength,
She likely could still see that he had changed quite a bit since the last visit.
Next, the Master of the Celestial Palace looked at Sang Xiyao, curious about the meaning behind suddenly bringing Chen Beixuan to the Celestial Palace.
Sang Xiyao didn’t beat around the bush but frankly opened up:
"Palace Master, didn’t you want to invite Fellow Daoist Chen Beixuan to join our Celestial Palace last time?"
Hearing this, the Master of Heaven’s expression shifted: "Oh? So, Mr Chen plans to join the Celestial Palace?"
As she spoke, her subtly authoritative gaze fell on Lu Ye, waiting for his answer.
Lu Ye nodded and said: "Before, I hadn’t thought it through, but now it seems the Celestial Palace is indeed a great place, so I’ve come to join."
The Master of the Celestial Palace looked at Lu Ye, then at the amusingly smiling Sang Xiyao beside him, sensing something might have happened.
You know, last time this young man didn’t say this, and now he’s suddenly changed his tune, there must be a reason.
However, the Lingyao Celestial Palace is indeed very willing to welcome such talents, so the Master of the Celestial Palace nodded and said.
"Since Mr Chen has this idea, naturally it’s all the better. Let’s appoint Mr Chen to the position of Silver Envoy of the Celestial Palace. As you’re new here, you might be unfamiliar with some things, so let Envoy Sang beside you help you get familiar."
"Alright, I’ll take Fellow Daoist Chen to make the Identity Jade Token and collect some items, Palace Master, I’ll be taking my leave now."
After Sang Xiyao finished speaking, she immediately took Lu Ye and left the main hall, heading elsewhere.
The Master of the Celestial Palace sat in the hall, watching the two leave, lost in thought.
When Lu Ye entered earlier, she was indeed slightly surprised.
Because, within the Master of the Celestial Palace’s senses, Lu Ye at this time wasn’t much weaker than Sang Xiyao.
Bear in mind, Sang Xiyao is half a step into the Celestial Realm of the Earth Realm Ninth Layer.
She’s also the first person in the Celestial Palace most likely to ascend to become a Gold Medal Celestial Palace Envoy.
Now, a young man who just emerged from Yunyao Secret Realm less than a year ago, had almost caught up to Sang Xiyao...
How... is this possible?
Meanwhile.
Sang Xiyao took Lu Ye to process his Identity Jade Token.
Midway there, Lu Ye thought for a moment and said: "Xiyao Fairy, there’s something I might need to tell you."
After all, now he’s decided to join the Lingyao Celestial Palace.
So Lu Ye wondered if he should reveal his real name.
