Chapter 1554: Chapter 687: Promotion (2)

Standing beside Celestial King Mo Liqing of the North Celestial Palace, the three Celestial Generals exchanged a glance. The handsome and somewhat heroic Tier Ten Female Immortal Venerable, Demon Sword, cupped her hands and spoke:

"Celestial King, that Profound Void Demon is merely a native cultivator, even if they have some unique skills, why should you personally make the trip? Why not let Celestial General Qi, Celestial General Qin, and I go directly to capture that Profound Void Demon!"

The other two Tier Ten Female Immortal Venerables also spoke up, expressing willingness to take the trip on behalf of their Celestial King.

However, Celestial King Mo Liqing of the North Celestial Palace shook his head firmly,

"If that Profound Void Demon really possesses the artifact refining technique mentioned by Golden Ridge, why should I mind making the trip myself?

The three of you just watch the flying ship, after all, this area is not too far from the region controlled by the Nine Nether Divine Mansion, be wary of encountering their Divine Mansion Army!"

With that, Celestial King Mo Liqing of the North Celestial Palace nodded slightly at Golden Ridge, headed towards the cabin door, saying: "Come with me to Blue Prototype, no need to pilot the flying ship, I will protect you with True Qi!"

When Golden Ridge heard Celestial King Mo Liqing mention Lin Xuankong’s artifact refining technique, an ominous premonition began to arise in his heart,

He suddenly somewhat understood that the big commotion caused by Celestial King Mo Liqing of the North Celestial Palace, even personally coming, possibly wasn’t for avenging his master Jin You and senior brother Jin Ming, but with another intent!

But at this moment, he had absolutely no way, and certainly didn’t dare to say anything randomly in front of this No. 2 figure of the Six Paths Celestial Court! After all, in front of Celestial King Mo Liqing of the North Celestial Palace, someone like Golden Ridge at the Fifth Layer of Transcendence doesn’t differ much from an ordinary human, both could be easily crushed like materials by a small finger!

....

Blue Origin Star, Great Yan Kingdom, Qingyuan City, Miao Family Mansion.

Today is a good day for Miao Family Mansion, also the busiest day in several decades!

All the dignitaries and squires of Qingyuan City attended without exception. The key is, those so-called dignitaries and squires of Qingyuan City at this moment in Miao Family Mansion had absolutely no standing, not even a seat, only daring to squeeze into corners! Because those attending today were super figures in the eyes of Qingyuan City’s dignitaries and squires. Today’s event welcomed not only all high officials from the region but even the President of Great Yan Kingdom and people specially sent from the four great families. Even ambassadors from other nations on Blue Origin Star attended, presenting lavish gifts to Miao Yun Lake, the owner of Miao Family Mansion!

The President of Great Yan Kingdom initially wanted to attend personally to confer ranks to Miao Yun Lake but didn’t due to ill health.... As for the rank conferred, it was naturally the head of the Inspection Department of Great Yan Kingdom!

Not long before, Miao Yun Lake was just a humble Inspection Bureau Chief of Qingyuan City,

Today’s Miao Yun Lake had rapidly ascended six ranks, becoming one of the few most prominent figures in Great Yan Kingdom!

This pace of promotion is unprecedented in the history of Great Yan Kingdom!

But regarding Miao Yun Lake’s pace of promotion, none among the dignitaries and squires of Qingyuan City, nor high officials in the region, nor top dignitaries across Great Yan Kingdom had any objections! Because now the entire realm, and all those observing the situation, already knew that the daughter of the former humble Inspection Bureau Chief of Qingyuan City, Miao Wan’er, is now truly a cultivator, a "Immortal Venerable" even the President of Great Yan Kingdom needed to look up to!

It is said that recently from Qingyuan City, also promoted six ranks was the father of the former deputy officer of the First Defense Battalion, Ding Ye, he too elevated to head of the Military Preparation Department of Great Yan Kingdom... Only because the said Mr. Ding is too old, lacking energy and interest in taking official positions, he declined this post. Otherwise, today’s Qingyuan City would surely upset many dignitaries-----they wouldn’t know where to celebrate, whether at the Ding family or the Miao family? Now it’s better, everyone came to the Gao family because someone heard that Great Immortal Venerable Ding Ye was at Miao Family Mansion today, personally congratulating Miao Yun Lake!

At this moment, in the main hall of Miao Family Mansion above, it is naturally bustling with eminent figures and wealthy folks personally presenting gifts to Miao Yun Lake and spouse as a congratulation.

At this moment, feeling most proud and elated is the female host of Miao Family Mansion, Ma Nanfeng... This woman couldn’t keep her mouth closed, because one of the four great families that used to make her gaze in admiration and envy, the patriarch of the Ma family, who never cared for this offspring from the concubine line of Ma family, personally hurried over, looking respectful and pleasing to her face!

Ma Nanfeng had never dreamt that the Miao family she married into, her husband Miao Yun Lake whom she often considered underachieving, would today become one of the leading figures in Great Yan Kingdom, and even the President of Great Yan Kingdom would have to be courteous to Miao Yun Lake thereafter!

Sitting in the main seat, gazing triumphantly over those entering to offer congratulations, looking at those dignitaries who once needed her to look up to them now bowing low and flattering her, Ma Nanfeng truly had a floating feeling!

However, after sitting for a while, this female host of Miao Family Mansion glanced at the time on the clock in the hall and suddenly her expression changed, she said something to Miao Yun Lake before quickly heading towards the back hall.

Shortly thereafter,

Having left the main hall, Ma Nanfeng arrived at the small door of the side courtyard of Miao Family Mansion.

The Miao family female host, who was previously jubilant, looked at this small door of the side courtyard with a suddenly complex expression, her pace momentarily hesitated, not directly stepping through the door, as if there was something inside this courtyard that deeply intimidated her.

After lingering outside the small door of the side courtyard for quite a while, Ma Nanfeng slightly shook her head, turning to head back, but after only a few steps, her daughter, Third Miss Miao, Miao Wan’er’s voice came from behind, "Mother, what brings you here?"

Ma Nanfeng paused, turned to look at her daughter, eyes showing indulgent and proud expressions, and spoke: "I missed you!"

Miao Wan’er, hearing this, couldn’t help but smile: "Mother probably isn’t here because you miss your daughter, but plans to meet Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable!"

Ma Nanfeng’s expression stiffened, silent for a moment before sighing, showing a complex expression, she sighed:

"I only knew from your father, I came to realize, that the reason you could become an Immortal Venerable revered by all, was due to the friend of Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable, Immortal Venerable Sima! Alas, how could I have known that the son of an old acquaintance your father once helped turned out to be an Immortal Venerable hidden from the mortal world, and was the first in the realm, capable of commanding all Immortal Venerables of this star, truly my old eyes are as blind as can be, far inferior to your father’s insight!

Besides, I once held reservations about this Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable.... fortunately your father was sincere towards him,

or else,

I dare not imagine,

whether your father would have today’s honor,

whether you might have the chance to become a revered Immortal Venerable!

I came today, honestly to meet Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable, sincerely apologize in person! Just worried that me being a mere mortal, disturbing the practice of Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable, might become annoying!"

Miao Wan’er hearing her mother speak thus, also felt a lingering fear... She was also unexpecting that the descendant she thought of as ruined would turn out to be a Great Immortal Venerable hidden amongst mortals!
