Chapter 1191: Chapter 1182: Xuanbing Palace
Amidst the crowd below.
Watching Mo Cheng lecturing the Crown Prince, a peculiar expression inevitably surfaced on Mo Wangchen’s face.
The Mo Cheng of those years, though not as unruly as himself, was definitely not a benevolent character.
Unexpectedly, nine hundred years later.
Even his temperament has changed so much, making Mo Wangchen feel a myriad of emotions for a time.
Time can change everything; those small-scale mischiefs of yesteryears now, in retrospect, feel as if they happened yesterday, but everything has already changed.
"Alliance Leader Mo is here!"
Suddenly, a soft call came from outside the palace, and then a woman was seen walking slowly to the front of the plaza.
The woman was dressed in white, whiter than snow, and her demeanor was somewhat stern, exuding an aura that kept others at arm’s length.
Mo Xue, a child adopted by the Mo Family from a young age, was later taken as an adopted daughter by Mo Xiaotian.
From a certain perspective, she was regarded as a childhood friend who grew up alongside Mo Wangchen.
Now, Mo Xue is already a famed Alchemy Dao Master admired by all!
"Greetings to Alliance Leader Mo Xue!"
When Mo Xue walked slowly, everyone in the audience couldn’t help but stand up, cupping their hands in salute, which adequately demonstrated her current status on the Tiannan land.
Even Emperor Yun personally stepped down from his seat to greet her.
"The little girl of the past is now a revered Alchemy Dao Master admired by the masses..."
Mo Wangchen was filled with emotions.
After everyone returned to their seats, some young men couldn’t help but start discussing. One man in a blue robe said, "I heard that Alliance Leader Mo Xue has never married, I wonder if we might have the chance..."
"Heh, someone like Alliance Leader Mo Xue, even an Outer Saint Heir might not catch her eye, let alone you."
"What kind of talk is that? If a person has no dreams, wouldn’t that be akin to being like a salted fish?" the blue-robed man retorted.
Someone next to him stood up, nodding approvingly, "Dreams are indeed important, what if someone asks? It would be quite embarrassing if you couldn’t answer."
"It seems this gentleman is a kindred spirit. When the banquet is half over, shall we go together to toast Alliance Leader Mo Xue?"
"Haha, that’s exactly what I was thinking!"
As they spoke, the two became comrades, and the people around them were speechless, but didn’t pay them much mind.
During the banquet, many nobles and powerful figures left their seats to proactively toast Mo Xue and Mo Cheng.
They were all very aware that although Yun Country was strong now, it was not on the same level as the Mo Family.
To say without exaggeration, if the Mo Family wanted to annihilate Yun Country, it would be effortless and easy.
Compared to currying favor with the Yun Country Royal Family, today, if one could establish closer ties with Mo Xue and Mo Cheng, it would be the greatest benefit.
After all, these two people hold crucial positions within the Mo Family.
"Xuanbing Palace’s Saint is here!"
Suddenly, a clear shout came from outside the crowd, making the originally noisy banquet much quieter.
"Xuanbing Palace?"
"The Xuanbing Palace, one of the ten great Sacred Lands of Outer Canglan?"
The crowd was astonished. Canglan’s Thousand Realms, where many Sacred Lands stood together, among which ten are the strongest, they are the true overlords of the Canglan Plane.
Xuanbing Palace is one of the ten Sacred Lands, rumored to have a Saint Master with Ancient King Level strength.
In recent years, Xuanbing Palace’s development has been witnessed by all, and no one expected that the Saint Heir would also attend Emperor Yun’s abdication today?
During the discussions, everyone looked over and saw a man in brocade clothes walking slowly at this moment, followed by six elders, all of whom were experts at the Heavenly Immortal Realm level.
"Rumor has it that the Xuanbing Saint Heir entered the Heavenly Immortal Realm a hundred years ago, and now who knows how formidable his strength has become. In the entire Heavenly Gang, he is considered a top-tier genius."
"Logically, although Yun Country is powerful, it is still just an imperial dynasty in Tiannan, and even the grand ceremony of Emperor Yun’s abdication shouldn’t be able to disturb a figure like the Xuanbing Saint Heir, right?"
Amid the discussions, the Xuanbing Saint Heir had already arrived at the forefront, standing with his hands behind his back, exuding a hint of pride between his brows. After a glance at Emperor Yun, his gaze finally fell on Mo Xue, "This should be the Alliance Leader of the Alchemist Alliance, Master Mo Xue, right?"
"Is there something you need?"
Mo Xue slightly frowned, sitting in her original position, somewhat puzzled by the other’s intentions.
"Master’s name has long shocked the entire Heavenly Gang, with a Holy Rank second-grade Alchemy Dao skill, yet residing in this small place of Tiannan is truly a pity. Frankly speaking, I came today by the order of the Saint Master, to invite Alliance Leader Mo to return with me to Xuanbing Palace, to serve as the sect’s Guest Alchemist and also be appointed as our Xuanbing Palace’s Supreme Elder."
Hearing this, everyone present was surprised to realize that the Xuanbing Saint Heir wasn’t there for Emperor Yun’s abdication; he came to recruit Mo Xue to join Xuanbing Palace?
"Supreme Elder of Xuanbing Palace, that’s not an ordinary identity..."
Many people had envy in their eyes. In the past, many forces had tried recruiting Mo Xue, but she had refused them all.
What’s different now is that the recruiting party is the Xuanbing Palace, one of the ten great Sacred Lands of Outer Canglan, and the Saint Heir has personally come, giving Mo Xue a lot of face.
"I am grateful for the appreciation, but I have no intention of leaving Tiannan at present. I appreciate Xuanbing Palace’s kindness." Mo Xue declined decisively.
"Why be so hasty to refuse, Alliance Leader Mo? With your Alchemy Dao talent, if you could receive great support from our Xuanbing Palace, your future achievements would be much greater, bringing substantial benefits whether for you or the Mo Family," the Xuanbing Saint Heir said.
"I have no intention of joining Xuanbing Palace, please do not mention this matter again. If there is nothing more, please make yourself comfortable." Mo Xue frowned, speaking like this.
"Hmph!"
However, just as her voice had fallen, before the Xuanbing Saint Heir could say anything, one of the elders who had accompanied him couldn’t help stepping forward, snorting coldly, "The Saint Master’s appreciation, along with the personal invitation from the Saint Heir, is an immense honor for you. Just an adopted daughter of Mo Family, you shouldn’t be ungrateful!"
"Xuanbing Palace should not bully others too much; do you intend to forcefully control someone?"
Nearby, Mo Cheng, who hadn’t uttered a single word, suddenly couldn’t help standing up upon hearing the elder’s words from Xuanbing Palace, anger appearing on his face, "Though Clan Sister Mo Xue does not have Mo Family’s bloodline, over the years, we have never treated her as an outsider, please apologize for the inappropriate words just now!"
"Young Master Mo Cheng, this matter has nothing to do with you, please do not intervene. Is the Mo Family willing to go against our Xuanbing Palace for the sake of an adopted daughter?" the elder from Xuanbing Palace coldly laughed.
Though Mo Cheng’s identity made him somewhat cautious, it was just cautiousness. Today, no matter what, Mo Xue must go with them.
Besides, he didn’t believe that the Mo Family would completely oppose Xuanbing Palace, one of the ten great Sacred Lands of Outer Canglan, for an adopted daughter.
"Oppose?"
Suddenly, at this moment, a faint voice resounded in the venue, the voice carried an inexplicable anger within. Mo Wangchen was seen standing up from his seat, his eyes had already turned cold, looking at the Xuanbing Palace’s experts ahead, "Your Xuanbing Palace... you regard yourselves too highly."
