Chapter 15
Young Mistress An Guang ignores Ancestor Zu as she says, "Everyone... I wanted to personally convey my heartfelt grat.i.tude for attending my hairpin ceremony and to celebrate my fifteen birthday as well. As one of the third generation of Quanheng Sect, I will make sure that the Sect will continue to flourish in the future. I wanted to thank everyone for the gifts as well. As a thank you gift, each and every one of you will be given a token that can only be used once if any of you needed help from the Sect."
Each guest is surprised when a medal made from bronze appears in front of them as it floats in the air. Seeing the obvious proud smiles on Ancestor Zu's face including the Elders' faces, they can only a.s.sume that the one who made it happened is the smiling young lady who appeared to be unperturbed with the current event.
Dark Lord An Shenyuan and Light Mistress Guang Liang smile as they proudly look at their daughter before Ancestor Zu says, "Everyone, please enjoy the food and the drinks. Just let the servants and maidservants know if you need anything else. As it is our dearest An An's important day, please feel free to talk, eat and drink as much as you like. This old man has made sure that everything has been prepared..."
Dark Sorceress Yin'an laughs before she says, "Shameless old man... You have done absolutely nothing except for hanging around An Guang's side like a leech during these last few days. The ones who are busy preparing for her birthday is her parents and the other Elders, not you. Stinky Zu."
Ancestor Zu turns his head and gives a rather glaring stare at the rather youthful looking temptress, "Yin'an... Can you stop putting me down for just a moment? Sooner or later, you will regret it."
She laughs mockingly and says, "Stinky Zu... What are you going to do? Separate my soul from my body once again? That trick is getting a bit old, Zu'er. Just like both of us who have become a lonely old person."
"Ptui!!! I am still looking as youthful as ever, old woman! You are the one who has gotten older! Hey... What the h.e.l.l?!?!? Are you drunk? Stop groping me! Yin'an! Stop it! Qian'er! Quickly! Subdue this drunken old woman from further hara.s.sing me!"
Earth Mistress Tu Qianqian turns her head and watches in fascination, "Master... The Dark Sorceress seems to be quite interested in your body. What if you just let her have her way?"
The other Elders are watching too but they act as if they
"Herbal Mistress Xuan, both Ancestor Zu and Dark Sorceress Yin'an are very funny. From one's observation, they are fated to be with one another."
Herbal Mistress Xuan smiles and says, "My junior brothers and sisters are aware of that. It is just our master who is blind. If he truly hated her, he will just kill her years ago. For him to separate her soul from her body before keeping her lifeless body in the hidden chamber clearly stated that he wanted to possess her but both of them are being too stubborn for their own good."
Left Chancellor Qing Yige smiles and gently says, "Herbal Mistress Xuan, the truth is that you are fated to this one as well. One regretted one's decision not to venture outside Heaven Realm to seek one's fated partner."
Herbal Mistress Xuan turns her head and says, "Left Chancellor Qing Yige, since you never intended to seek your fated partner from the very beginning, it should continue to be that way. I am not interested to seek my fated partner as well. I am quite busy with mentoring my disciples."
He smiles and says, "Well... That could be a problem, Herbal Mistress Xuan. You see... One has seen and met his fated partner so one intended to pursue what is meant to be from the very beginning. After all, Young Mistress An Guang allowed one to stay here. The Heavenly Lord has instructed one to stay here as well and to become Young Mistress An Guang's mentor."
Herbal Mistress Xuan reluctantly turns her head from watching the interesting incident between Ancestor Zu and Dark Sorceress Yin'an, "What do you mean? Why must the Heaven Realm be involved in An An's matter?"
Left Chancellor Qing Yige turns his head and stares into her eyes, "One is only told as such so one just has to follow. Our Heavenly Lord has just taken over as the ruler of Heaven Realm after the previous Heavenly Lord had met his Creator a year prior. Though he is young, his cultivation and martial art prowess are the best within our Realm. He went into seclusion for training two months ago but suddenly came out before he is supposed to end his training. Within the same day, Dark Lord An entered our Realm and told the Right Chancellor of his true intention. At first, knowing that there is only one Longevity Pearl available, the Right Chancellor wanted to reject but our Heavenly Lord suddenly showed up with the Longevity Pearl in his hand. He even made the Longevity Pearl as a pendant. Even the necklace is made from..."
Herbal Mistress Xuan who is listening to his explanation is somewhat frustrated when he suddenly stops, "Made from what? Tell me..."
Left Chancellor Qing Yige laughs and says, "One cannot disclose that. Only the Heavenly Lord can tell..."
Herbal Mistress Xuan curses the white-haired man standing next to her before she turns her attention back to Ancestor Zu and Dark Sorceress Yin'an. Seeing that the Dark Sorceress is acting more and more out of hand. Light Mistress Guang Liang and Earth Mistress Tu Qianqian wanted to pull the older woman from trying to further hara.s.s their master but before they can do so, Ancestor Zu pulls Dark Sorceress Yin'an into his arm and says, "Everyone, seems like this old man has to excuse himself. This old woman needed to be put to bed early."
Soon after he has finished with his words, he vanishes into the thin air along with the rather drunk Dark Sorceress Yin'an. Light Mistress Guang Liang smiles at her husband who nods his head in return. Seems like Dark Sorceress Yin'an's provocation has successfully 'pushed' their master.
Left Chancellor Qing Yige takes a deep breath as when he nearly wanted to explain the necklace made from what, a cold and distant voice suddenly can be heard in his conscious mind, "Left Chancellor, this lord sent you to the Celestial Realm to protect the chosen one. Do not disclose that the necklace is made from what... Should I send the Right Chancellor to take over your given task?"
He takes a deep breath and turns to look at Young Mistress An Guang as he thought, "Young one, it seems like the Heavenly Lord has set his eyes on you. That necklace that you are wearing is originally a ring belonging to the Heavenly Lord. That ring itself is a symbol of the Heavenly Lord as the ruler of the Heaven Realm. For such a significant ring to be melted and made as a necklace is unheard of. But then again our current Heavenly Lord is never the one to follows."
