"My apologies for making the Hall Master laugh, but I am indeed the âQingâerâ from that story."
"Laying his corpse down now could be considered as settling this matter of fate."
In response to Chen Changâanâs inquiries, the Pavilion Master Yuan did not shy away but openly admitted it.
From her expression, it was not difficult to discern that the Sword Master Daoâs abandonment had a great impact on her.
"Pavilion Master Yuan really has a magnanimous heart. I admire it."
Chen Changâan didnât know what to say upon hearing this.
What else could be said about it?
Love at first sight is invincible?
Honestly speaking,
when Chen Changâan nailed Sword Master Dao to the Tianshan mountains all those years ago, he had conceived countless scenarios where people pleaded for him to be taken down, but he had never imagined this one.
The rightful wife didnât come, the father-in-law didnât come.
Instead, it was Pavilion Master Yuan, who was once heartlessly abandoned, who came.
If this scenario hadnât happened before his eyes, Chen Changâan wouldnât have believed it, even if he were beaten to death.
However, it was good that Pavilion Master Yuan came so they could finally put things from the past to rest.
Thinking of this, Chen Changâan said,
"Fine then, out of respect for Pavilion Master Yuan, I wonât nitpick over this matter."
"Pavilion Master, you can go back and have those people take down Dao."
"After all these years, this matter should be ended."
"Thank you, Hall Master."
Upon hearing this, Pavilion Master Yuan was overjoyed. She immediately expressed her gratitude to Chen Changâan with a bow.
Subsequently, Pavilion Master Yuan said,
"Hall Master, to be honest, in addition to the ten-thousand-year Heavenly Pond Warm Jade that I brought as a gift this time, the people from the Xuantian Sword Sect have also asked me to bring their compensation."
"The things are here. I kindly ask you to accept them."
Saying this, Pavilion Master Yuan handed over a bag enveloped in a ball of light to Chen Changâan.
Upon receiving it, Chen Changâan took a look.
It was a bag containing a world within a grain of sand.
Chen Changâan opened the bag to take a look.
Goodness, the bag was filled to the brim with countless magic stones!
A rough estimate suggested there were around several hundred thousand pieces!
This was a huge fortune!
Chen Changâan was certainly no stranger to magic stones.
Magic stones, also known as Dao Source Stones in the outside world, are highly valued resources in the Wuxiang realm.
Whether for cultivating disciples or personal use, they have great utility.
The Xuantian Sword Sectâs gesture this time was indeed grand.
"I am very satisfied with this gift."
Chen Changâan took the bag.
He said to Pavilion Master Yuan,
"We can put this matter behind us."
"However, when you go back, please convey a message for me to the Xuantian Sword Sect."
"From now on, all past grievances between the Hall and the Xuantian Sword Sect are null and void."
"However, if anyone dares to offend the Hall in the future, it wonât be as simple as nailing just one person to the Tianshan mountains."
"Rest assured, Hall Master, I will definitely relay this matter to them," Pavilion Master Yuan nodded in agreement.
She did not doubt the words of Emperor Song at all.
Five years ago, he was just a newcomer who had newly broken through the seventh realm.
Yet, even then, he could make the chief of the Xuantian Sword Sect fall into a slumber with his terrifying Divine Skills.
Now, five years have passed, and while she doesnât know how far his cultivation has progressed, it must be greater than before!
If he were to confront the Xuantian Sword Sect with his sword now, it might not end as peacefully as it did five years ago.
"In that case, I will take my leave."
"The Hall Masterâs kindness will always be remembered by the Tianxiang Pavilion."
Then, she took her leave.
Chen Changâan nodded, not stopping her.
"Sir, I donât understand why Tianxiang Pavilion would bother to make such a grand gesture."
"Why would they spend such a large sum for someone who has nothing to do with them?"
"Is this a representation of true feelings in this world?"
After the departure of Pavilion Master Yuan Qing, Black Impermanence and his companions turned to Chen Changâan with curiosity.
"True feelings? Perhaps."
Chen Changâan shook his head.
But he did not explain anything to them. Instead, he said:
"Impermanence, take some time to prepare a valuable gift."
"Arrange for a day to visit Tianxiang Pavilion."
"Yes, Sir. But why are we doing this now?" City God questioned.
His question was acceptable, so he dared to ask.
Not only City God but also Black Impermanence and White Impermanence were looking at Chen Changâan for answers.
"No reason."
"In two days, Tianxiang Pavilion will probably welcome a new âAroma Honors.â
Chen Changâan looked in the direction where Pavilion Master Yuan Qing had just left and said wistfully.
"What...?"
The three, City God, were taken aback. They clearly did not understand what Chen Changâan meant.
But if they did not understand, they wouldnât. Chen Changâan had no intention of explaining to them either.
"Report~~~"
"Sir, there is a man outside the gate claiming to be the Pavilion Master of Tianxiang Pavilion."
"Says heâs here to thank you and asked for this to be conveyed to you."
Just then, a voice came from outside the hall, a Ghost Soldier of the Emperor Songâs Palace.
In the hand of the Ghost Soldier was a ball of bright glow.
It was enveloped in a dense fog, obscuring what it was.
"Give it to me."
Chen Changâan reached out, and the glowing ball came straight into his hands.
As soon as the light sphere reached his hand, all its glow disappeared, revealing what was inside.
It was a Token, an ancient bronze Token.
On the Token, three golden characters were written with a dragon flying and phoenix dancing.
Heaven Fragrance Order!
The Heaven Fragrance Order is a unique token of Tianxiang Pavilion, their supreme token.
Tianxiang Pavilion, as a Sect amongst all the ten honorable Sects, has always been a unique existence.
First of all, itâs a Sect made entirely of women.
The saying, âAll female cultivators come from Tianxiang Pavilion,â stems from this.
In addition, Tianxiang Pavilion hardly quarrels with any other forces.
Since its establishment, it has maintained neutrality in all major events in the Wuxiang realm.
Their view towards both the Demon and the Righteous Path is very casual.
They treat schools of thought such as the Taiyi Sect and other non-orthodox organization like Rebirth Hall with equal respect.
However, the neutrality of Tianxiang Pavilion is not absolute.
In this world, there are only two situations that can break Tianxiang Pavilionâs neutrality.
One is a perceived threat to the benefits of Tianxiang Pavilion. If any decisions encroach on their interests, it will be met with a thunderous strike from the Tianxiang Pavilion.
The second reason is the Heaven Fragrance Order!
There are only three Heaven Fragrance Orders in existence.
One is held by the Pavilion Master of Tianxiang Pavilion, one by the Elders of the Pavilion.
The last one is gifted and circulated in the Wuxiang realm.
Any sentient being in the Wuxiang realm can unconditionally ask Tianxiang Pavilion to do something that does not infringe its interests if they possess the Heavenly Fragrance Order.
When necessary, they can even request the eight realm Aroma Honors of the Pavilion to take action!
Naturally, with such generous benefits, the release of the Heaven Fragrance Order is not done recklessly.
It can only be distributed when the Pavilion Master and the Elders of Tianxiang Pavilion believe that the person has made a significant contribution to the Pavilion.
Seeing the arrival of the âHeaven Fragrance Orderâ as a gift, Chen Changâan accepted it without hesitation.
He wasnât surprised at the appearance of the âHeaven Fragrance Orderâ. Instead, he expected it.
For giving Tianxiang Pavilion the opportunity to raise an âAroma Honors,â receiving their Heavenly Fragrance Order is not too much.
