He didn't appear for months or even years, and he didn't give many tangible benefits to the people, so his prestige had dropped a lot.
On the other hand, Gu Xijiu had been in the limelight recently. She had calmed down the chaos caused by the fake Celestial Master Zuo, released the vengeful spirits, saved His Majesty Rong Jialuo, and helped the people when they were in trouble.
There was a balance in the hearts of the people. Naturally, they respected and admired Gu Xijiu more and more. In the hearts of the people, her prestige had already surpassed Celestial Master Zuo. Therefore, her being conferred the title of the Great Celestial Master of the State was also the will of the people and the trend of the times.
Gu Xijiu was promoted to the position of the National Celestial Master. When her friends heard the news, they all came to congratulate her.
The first to arrive were her friends from the forbidden land, followed by her fellow cultivators from Tianju Hall, followed by the other heaven's gift disciples. Even the king of the mermaids, Lan Yaoguang, had come in person.
For the next three days, Gu Xijiu's newly built residence was unprecedentedly crowded with guests and carriages.
Naturally, Gu Xietian had returned as well. He was a general who had spent a lot of time in officialdom, so it was only natural that he was able to handle the guests with ease. He wouldn't embarrass the Grand Celestial Master's residence.
Luo Xinglan appeared with her two sons. Although she did not pay much attention to Gu Xietian, she had taken on the role of a housekeeper and helped Gu Xijiu to manage the household affairs.
Not only did she come, but she also brought along other disciples from her clan. These disciples were very loyal to Luo Xinglan, so naturally, they were also very loyal to Gu Xijiu. Therefore, although Gu Xijiu's residence was established in a hurry, it was not messy at all. Everything was arranged in an orderly and well-organized manner.
As for Luo Zhanyu, he stayed in Gu Xijiu's residence for three days. Together with the others who came out from the forbidden land, he acted as Gu Xijiu's protector.
As the host, Gu Xijiu was not that busy. She was only responsible for greeting the guests who came to congratulate them. If she did not want to meet them, she could reject them and let Gu Xietian and the others entertain them.
Perhaps, Rong Jialuo had the intention to promote Gu Xijiu. The residence of the great celestial master that he built for her was bigger and more magnificent than the residence of Celestial Master Zuo and Celestial Master Zuo.
The eaves were arched, and the palaces were connected to the sky.
Small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and terraces, all with ingenuity.
Gu Xijiu strolled around the house and enjoyed the scenery.
It had to be said that Rong Jialuo had really put in a lot of effort. Her mansion was comparable to the Grand View Garden in the Dream of the Red Chamber. The scenery changed with every step, and every place could be like a painting. It was both luxurious and elegant.
The eunuch next to her seized the opportunity and said to her with a smile, "Grand Celestial Master, this place was designed by His Majesty himself. Are you satisfied?"
She did not expect Rong Jialuo to be so ambitious!
Gu Xijiu nodded. "Yes! Thank His Majesty for me. "
The young eunuch naturally agreed with a smile.
There was also a man-made lake in the mansion. Weeping willows were beside the lake, and the shore was paved with colorful stones. At the end of the lake was a bamboo forest, and the bamboo leaves rustled in the wind.
Gu Xijiu strolled along the lake and looked at the surrounding scenery. Suddenly, she felt that the style was somewhat familiar, as though she had seen it somewhere before.
She pondered for a moment and suddenly thought of something. She turned her head and asked the chief eunuch of Rong Jialuo, "Was this the original residence of the Eighth Prince?"
