"So thatâs how it is." Saint Qingyuanâs expression darkened, "No wonder today one of the Great Elders of the Si Family, Immortal Monarch Tai An, and the True Immortal Seed Si Wuchou, came together to our Cloud Sea Paradise, claiming they want to see Little Junior Sister."
"What should we do then?" Lan Wanyi suddenly panicked, "We barely managed to establish ourselves in Cloud Sea Paradise, having a stable life. Are we to be expelled by the Si Family again?"
"They dare?!" Saint Qingyuan snorted coldly, angrily saying, "Although the Si Family is a Sacred Race, our Cloud Sea Paradise isnât somewhere they can run wild at will! Not to mention Little Junior Sister is deeply favored by Master, already having inherited the âHeaven-Supporting Immortal Scriptureâ, ranking among the Little Immortal Monarchs. Even an ordinary disciple of our Cloud Sea Paradise is not someone the Si Family can casually control."
Lan Wanyi breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest, "I thought I and Sister Lici would have to wander outside again."
"But, Little Junior Sister, youâre really not of the Si Family bloodline?" Saint Qingyuan looked at Wang Licui with a somewhat peculiar expression.
"No!" Wang Licui rolled her eyes, her tone unwavering, "My name is Wang Licui, I am of the Changning Wang Clan bloodline. I have explained this to the Si Family hundreds of times already; they themselves insist I am of the Si Family bloodline, and no matter how much I say it, they donât listen. Later, they even accused me of being a bad person deceiving them for food... it infuriates me."
"Fine, since Little Junior Sister doesnât like the Si Family, Iâll drive them away." Saint Qingyuan chuckled coldly, "Lest that vulgar fool Si Wuchou affects our Little Junior Sisterâs appetite."
In a blink of an eye, Saint Qingyuan turned into a wisp of blue smoke and disappeared.
Meanwhile.
In the pavilion specifically used to entertain honorable guests in Cloud Sea Paradise, an elder and a younger member of the Si Family were drinking tea.
The elder wore a ginger yellow long robe, exuding a composed air, serene expression, and despite having reined in his aura, he still emitted a dignified presence that naturally awed people.
But the younger one appeared somewhat restless, his face changing expressions.
He wore a white robe, with fairly good looks and demeanor, somewhat resembling Si Wuyou in appearance, though slightly lacking in temperament.
These two were naturally Immortal Monarch Tai An, one of the Great Elders of the Si Family, and the True Immortal Seed Si Wuchou, as mentioned by Saint Qingyuan.
"Old Ancestor, isnât this Cloud Sea Paradise quite disrespectful? You are a dignified Great Elder of the Sacred Race and True Immortal Realm, and I am the current True Immortal Seed heir of the Sacred Si Family." Si Wuchou grumbled discontentedly, "The steward only brought us a pot of tea before leaving, and no one has come to attend to us for a long while."
"You insolent fool, shut your mouth!" Immortal Monarch Tai An was already in a foul mood, and hearing this, he angrily rebuked, "What do you think Cloud Sea Paradise is? This paradise belongs to the Primordial Taoist Palace, and its lord, Sacred Supreme Hong Rui, has an extraordinary background, said to be a disciple of that one. How dare you make noise here? Sit down and wait quietly."
"Yes, Old Ancestor."
Si Wuchou sat down, face full of frustration and unwillingness.
"You, youâre just too temperamental." Immortal Monarch Tai An sighed, considering he was ultimately his descendant, "If it werenât for your rashness in chasing away Licui, we wouldnât be here begging."
"Old Ancestor, it wasnât my fault~" Si Wuchou looked aggrieved, "I also checked the genealogy. At least in the last tens of thousands of years, our Si Family hasnât branched out under the surname Wang. And that girl, Wang Licui, always gave vague answers when asked about her origin. Moreover, she repeatedly claimed not to bear the surname Si and wasnât of our bloodline, so I..."
"Idiot! Does her surname matter? Since she carries our Si Familyâs bloodline jade pendant, she is our Si Family descendant." Immortal Monarch Tai An glared, "Originally, we thought she was just a True Immortal potential, and without extra Immortal Scriptures at home, we let her go. But who would have expected her to be personally taken in by Sacred Supreme Hong Rui, and after completing the âHeaven-Supporting Immortal Scriptureâ inheritance, her bloodline reached the Class D Saintess level!"
Excitedly, Immortal Monarch Tai An continued, "You fool! Do you know how terrifying it is for someone to have bloodline talent reaching the Saintess level without having undergone the Inheritance Saint Diagram baptism? If she ever gets a chance at the Inheritance Saint Diagram in the future, she will, at the very least, be a Class C Slightly Advanced Saintess, potentially reaching Mid Stage Great Luo in the future!"
Si Wuchouâs face was filled with distress and a bit of defiance, "Mid Stage is just Mid Stage, whatâs the big deal?"
"A hundred times better than you, you insolent fool." Immortal Monarch Tai An scolded, "Mid Stage means she could easily crush our Old Ancestor into the ground. Our family finally had a natural Saintess, yet you drove her away. Are you still indifferent?"
"Our Old Ancestor even said, âSi Wuchou, if you, this insolent fool, donât bring Licui, the Saintess, back to the Si Family to acknowledge her ancestry, you wonât return to the Si Family in your lifetime.â"
"What?"
Si Wuchouâs vision blurred, nearly fainting.
And just as the two were speaking.
Suddenly.
A green mist descended from the sky, transforming in front of the two into a handsome, elegant young gentleman.
This young gentleman was, naturally, Wang Licuiâs senior brother, Saint Qingyuan.
Unlike the gentle indulgence shown in front of Wang Licui, at this moment, his handsome face was frosty, exuding an awe-inspiring aura, emitting an intimidating atmosphere from head to toe, clearly the heir apparent of the paradise.
The powerful True Immortal Realm pressure radiated from him in waves, like tumultuous seas and piling winds. The air within the Welcome Pavilion seemed to tighten.
Gazing at the elder and younger within the pavilion, he coldly flicked his sleeve and said, "Two âhonorable guestsâ of the Si Family, my Little Junior Sister says she doesnât wish to see you. Please leave our Cloud Sea Paradise."
Saint Qingyuan?
Immortal Monarch Tai Anâs heart skipped a beat, inwardly sighing "This is bad."
This is big trouble.
