Chapter 835: An Old Friend

Dao Wu Ji took the hint and stepped out to smooth out the situation.

Everyone also came out quickly to speak. They didn’t want the Tang Clan to become connected to Ling Xian and they also wanted to avenge themselves for being dragged down by Crazy Tang. Anyway, they all denied his suggestion using the most gentle method.

“The Supreme Headmaster is right. Ling Xian and your beloved daughter are still young, it is still a little early to be talking about marriage.”

“That’s right. Plus, with this kind of thing, it is best to respect the girl and boy’s opinion. You shouldn’t exhaust yourself thinking about this.”

“That’s right. We don’t need to talk about such a serious matter today. We are just here to chat. Crazy Tang, don’t ruin everyone’s mood.”

Hearing this, Crazy Tang frowned. He knew that it was because people didn’t want his clan to be connected with Ling Xian. But there was nothing he could do.

Ling Xian’s bitter grin also made his attitude towards this clear. Crazy Tang could only suggest but could not force.

Today was different than other days. If this was before, perhaps he could force Ling Xian with violence. But today, not only does he not have the guts to, he doesn’t have the capabilities neither.

“Might as well… after all, my daughter never made her intentions clear. Just treat it like I had a slip of the tongue.” Crazy Tang awkwardly grinned.

Hearing this, Ling Xian sighed in relief and at the same time, silently exclaimed.

Honestly speaking, he did feel a little something towards Tang Thirteen. But he could not just agree to this. First of all, everything happened in the Hidden Territory. Second of all, there was still Lin Qing Yi.

“Haha, we are not going to talk about serious matters today.”

The Xia Emperor laughed and fixed the awkward atmosphere. Then, he shifted his gaze towards Ling Xian, “I wonder if Master Ling is satisfied with my Pearl of Emerald Blood?”

“Naturally.”

Ling Xian nodded with a grin. He didn’t think much of the Bowl of Yin or the Clarity Tree of Converged Spirits. But this Pearl of Emerald Blood moved him.

After all, this treasure was a holy object. If he gets heavily wounded in the future, it could save his life.

“As long as you are satisfied. Then I will grant this treasure to you.” The Xia Emperor flapped his sleeve. The Pearl turned into a dash of light and flew towards Ling Xian.

“Then, I thank you for your generosity.”

Ling Xian softly smiled. He knew everyone came here to get on his good side. If he doesn’t accept them, these people wouldn’t feel settled.

Therefore, he didn’t play around and very naturally placed the Pearl of Emerald Blood into his storage pouch.

Seeing this, all the other leaders panicked. They all opened their lips to ask him to accept their gifts.

Of course, Ling Xian didn’t decline any of them.

For one, he had already accepted the Pearl from the Xia Emperor so he didn’t have a reason to decline others. For two, these treasures were all very worthy and expensive. Even if he has no use for them, he can give them to An Qiu Shui.

Therefore, he didn’t decline any of them and accepted them all.

Seeing Ling Xian accepting the treasures, the leaders’ smiles intensified. The atmosphere turned more friendly as well.

All the descendants who were watching for fun couldn’t help but exclaim over his manliness.

Remember that these people were all important figures in Yunzhou. To be visiting personally was already giving Ling Xian much face. And now, not only were they giving him heavy gifts, they had to beg for him to accept.

But after they accepted them, they smiled and were relieved. How unbelievable was this?

Why wouldn’t these descendants be jealous?

Even Dao Wu Ji was a little jealous. This kind of treatment was something he didn’t even receive when he first became the Supreme Headmaster.

After Ling Xian accepted all the gifts, people began to converse and drink. They chatted over casual matters.

The atmosphere was friendly and happy.

After around half an hour, everyone began to disperse. They all found people they were familiar with and chatted.

The noise around Ling Xian’s ears quieted down after that.

All those who deserved to chat with him were pretty much done chatting. Those who tried had to bring themselves close but have never met him before didn’t have the guts to get closer.

What could they do. His capability today was far too powerful and his status was far too high. Not everyone had the right to get close to him. Even normal original leveled powerhouses had no right.

Just as he drank and conversed, a shadow wearing green walked by. He had a soft smile by his lips and his actions were studious. He truly was like a warm jade, comfortable and delicate.

It was Mo Qing Fu.

The moment he saw Ling Xian, he had the intention of going up to him and conversing. However, Ling Xian had yet to sit in his seat, so he had to silently wait for an opportunity.

Now that majority of the Supreme Headmasters had left, he came over impatiently.

“I knew you would come.”

Ling Xian softly smiled and poured Mo Qing Fu a drink, “It’s been many years. How have you been?”

“Not bad.”

Mo Qing Fu downed the alcohol in his cup and grinned, “Sadly, I was missing the one person who I wanted to sip tea and chat Taoism with.”

Hearing this, the corner of Ling Xian’s lips curled up. He knew Mo Qing Fu was talking about him but he teased nonetheless, “Then it is time for you to find yourself a companion.”

“Brother Ling, you…” Mo Qing Fu’s face reddened. He was a little embarrassed.

“Haha, I forgot. You are in love with your Master. I don’t believe you even think of other girls.” Ling Xian laughed as he remembered that rumor.

Instantly, Mo Qing Fu’s face turned redder and he stuttered, “Brother Ling, you are talking irrationally. I’m fine with it but you are ruining my Master’s reputation.”

“If you have the heart, you need to work towards it.”

Ling Xian shook his head and padded Mo Qing Fu’s shoulder, “No matter the result, you have to work for it. Or else you will regret forever.”

“Brother, I…” Mo Qing Fu hesitated. He wanted to say something but it turned into a long sigh.

“What are you afraid of? I know you have many rules in your Hao Ran House. Falling in love with your Master is against logic. But do not let the ancient rules blind you and ruin your happiness. You will regret it for the rest of your life.”

Ling Xian softly shook his head and looked at Mo Qing Fu with a serious gaze. He said in a low voice, “If you want, I will resolve this for you. I can ensure the Hao Ran House does not dare to stop you.”

Hearing this, Mo Qing Fu went silent. He know that Ling Xian had the right to make that promise and he can fulfill it.

But, he could not do that.

At that, Mo Qing Fu exhaled deeply, “I think… If I do go for it… my Master will no longer have the face to remain alive in this world.”

“Well then… “Ling Xian softly sighed and did not continue to try and persuade.

This kind of thing really depended on oneself and nobody should meddle. It would only make things messier. All Ling Xian could do right now was support him, or remove all obstacles in Mo Qing Fu’s way.

“No matter what. I have to thank you, Brother Ling.” Mo Qing Fu sighed a long sigh. “I can only blame our identities and stubbornness.”

“Well we don’t need to discuss that. Let’s discuss happier things.” Ling Xian brandished his hand and smiled. “I heard you are already named the next Supreme Headmaster for the Hao Ran House?”

“Yes, but I am nothing compared to you.”

Mo Qing Fu nodded. “Not only do I not have the ability to become the Supreme Headmaster right now, even if I already am one, my capability is not as powerful as yours. My status is not as high as yours either.”

“Haha, exactly!”

A bright laughter arrived from afar. Sun Ze Hao walked over like a tiger with his head held high. He said, “Don’t compare yourself to that monster. You are only asking for trouble.”
