Looking for the Second Miss?
The two guards looked at each other, then looked at Mo Wen, sizing him up. The second daughter of the Xue family was both talented and beautiful. She was a true proud daughter of heaven. Not everyone could see her just because they wanted to. There were countless people who wanted to see the second daughter every day, but only a few had the qualifications and ability to do so.
As guards, their main duty was to stop those who were not qualified and thought themselves infallible from seeking an audience, so that they would not disturb the Young Miss's cultivation.
"Who are you? Do you have the Second Miss' token? Not everyone can see our clan's second miss. "
The tall guard's gaze was sharp as he stared at Mo Wen. His body faintly emanated a strong aura. Ordinary immortal cultivators would most likely not dare to look him in the eye.
The Xue Clan was one of the four major factions of the Sword Monarch City. Even though the gatekeepers were all Divine Illusionary Realm cultivators, they were still very impressive.
"Don't be rude to Mr. Mo Wen."
A dignified voice suddenly rang out from within the gates, and an old man slowly walked out of the Xue Manor.
Seeing this, the guard's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly bowed and greeted, "Head Butler."
The person who had come was the head housekeeper of the Xue Manor. He had met Mo Wen once before. Back when he had come to the Xue Manor, it had been this person who had received him.
Although he was only a butler, his status in the Xue Family was quite high, and he was deeply trusted by the Xue Family. Furthermore, he was also a Dao Integration Stage cultivator.
"Mr. Mo Wen has come to our Xue Manor. Please forgive us for not welcoming you earlier."
Butler Mu stepped forward and said with a smile. He knew that the young man in front of him was not old, but he was a great character. Even the elders in the clan had to take him seriously.
"You are too polite. My purpose in coming to the Xue Manor is to look for your Xue Manor's Second Young Mistress," Mo Wen said with a faint smile.
"Oh?" A glint of surprise flashed in Housekeeper Mu's eyes. Apparently, he did not expect Mo Wen to come to the Xue Manor to find their Second Young Mistress. Could it be that the two of them knew each other?
"I'll send someone to report this immediately."
Mo Wen was a guest. Moreover, he had given the Xue Clan a lot of help in the Green Firmament World. Housekeeper Mu naturally did not dare to slight him.
"What are you two waiting for? Hurry up and report to Second Miss."
Housekeeper Mu glared at the two guards. The two guards who guarded the door shivered and quickly trotted to inform their Second Miss.
In a secluded garden, the second daughter of the Xue Clan was sitting cross-legged in front of a pond, cultivating. A maid hurriedly ran over and shouted, "Miss, Miss, someone has come to the residence to look for you."
The maid who spoke was Xue Ruyue's maid, Xiao Zhi.
Xue Ruyue slowly opened her eyes and frowned. She reprimanded, "How many times have I told you not to be so flustered? Who exactly is it that came to find me to make you so anxious?"
Xue Ruyue also felt that it was very strange in her heart. Ordinary people would not be able to see her just because they wanted to. To be able to pass the test of the Xue Residence's guards, this person clearly had some ability.
"It's said that it's a young man, and even Head Butler Mu is very respectful to him. He ordered me to inform Miss." Xiao Zhi blushed. If it weren't for Butler Mu's order, she wouldn't have dared to disturb Miss's meditation in such a hurry.
"Oh?" There was a flash of surprise in Xue Ruyue's eyes. A young man that even Butler Mu valued?
In the Xue Residence, Butler Mu's position was very high. Even she had to call him Uncle Mu.
In a pavilion in the garden of the Xue Residence, Mo Wen stood with his hands behind his back, admiring the interior of the Xue Residence. As a clan with a long history, the Xue Clan was naturally a group of people who knew how to live.
"It's you!"
Xue Ruyue looked at the young man in front of her. There was an indescribable surprise and shock in her eyes.
Although hundreds of years had passed, immortal cultivators had a photographic memory. Naturally, it was impossible for her to forget Mo Wen, even though in Xue Ruyue's heart, Mo Wen was just an insignificant person.
Xiao Zhi, who was beside her, also had her mouth wide open. She naturally knew Mo Wen. Back then, on the ship, she and Mo Wen were the people who had the most contact. She had never thought that the young man from back then would actually come to the Xue Residence.
"Second Miss Xue, how have you been?" Mo Wen smiled plainly.
"It's been so many years. I didn't expect you to come to the Xue Residence." Xue Ruyue also smiled in surprise.
"I said that I would definitely repay the favor of helping me back then," Mo Wen said with a smile.
"You came to the Xue Residence just for this?" Xue Ruyue looked at Mo Wen strangely. Back then, when she had saved Mo Wen, it was just a small effort. She did not take it to heart at all. It was because she had helped too many people, so saving Mo Wen was just a normal thing to her.
"The words that I, Mo Wen, have said will always come true, no matter when or how long it has been."
Mo Wen looked at Xue Ruyue calmly.
"Thank you for your kindness. I appreciate it. Back then, it was just a small favor. It's not a big favor. It's rare that you still keep it in your heart." Xue Ruyue admired Mo Wen's character. However, as the second miss of the Xue Residence, she really couldn't think of anything that she needed Mo Wen's help with.
She had helped many people, and many of them had thoughts of repaying her. However, those who could truly help her were few and far between. So, she didn't think that Mo Wen had the ability to help her.
Back then, he was just a youth at the Tide Changing Realm. Even if he had improved now, it would be a joke to say that he could help her with anything.
Head Butler Mu, who was at the side, frowned slightly. He didn't expect that the second miss and Mo Wen actually had such a past. He was not the second miss, but he knew Mo Wen's ability. Back then, the Xue Clan had paid a huge price to ask for his help.
Even the Xue Clan would value a favor from such a person, not to mention the second miss.
"Second miss …" Head Butler Mu couldn't help but say.
Mo Wen waved his hand and stopped Head Butler Mu from continuing. He said with a faint smile, "Second miss, do you think that I don't have the ability to do anything for you?"
Xue Ruyue smiled a little awkwardly. Although what Mo Wen said was right, it was impossible for her to say it directly. Wouldn't it be a blow to the self-esteem of this youth? She rather admired a person who knew how to repay kindness.
"I didn't mean it that way. It was just that back then, it was just something I did casually. It really isn't worth your effort."
Mo Wen smiled. "I didn't expect that when I came to repay a favor, the second miss wouldn't even give me a chance. It really makes me feel a little awkward. However, since I've come to the Xue Clan, I won't return empty-handed. Why don't I take the initiative to suggest a few things and see if the second miss is interested? "
"For example, the second miss is now at the later stage of the Divine Illusionary Realm. I can help you break through to the Path Integration Realm in a short period of time. Or, I can give you a Mysterious Heaven Sacred Treasure to protect you. Or, if the Xue Clan has any enemies that are troubling you, I can help you get rid of them …"
Mo Wen said plainly. With every sentence he said, the expressions of the people around him suddenly changed.
Even Head Butler Mu, who knew Mo Wen, looked at him as if he was looking at a madman.
Xiao Zhi's small mouth was wide open. She stared at Mo Wen, dumbfounded. Her small brain couldn't react at all.
Xue Ruyue also looked at Mo Wen in a daze. She was rather stunned.
Was this youth crazy? What was he saying?
He wanted her to break through to the Path Integration Realm in a short period of time? She had just broken through to the later stage of the Divine Illusionary Realm. She didn't know how long it would take for her to break through to the Path Integration Realm.
Give him a Mysterious Heaven Sacred Treasure! What was a Mysterious Heaven Sacred Treasure? She had never seen one before. It was impossible for the entire Xue Clan to have a Mysterious Heaven Sacred Treasure.
Even the Xue Clan couldn't deal with an enemy that troubled the Xue Clan. Could he do it?
Mo Wen smiled as he looked at Xue Ruyue. However, right now, everyone was looking at him as if they were looking at a madman.
…
Just as Head Butler Mu brought Xue Ruyue to see Mo Wen, the news of Mo Wen's arrival in the Xue Manor had also spread. The ordinary members of the Xue Clan might not know, but the upper echelons of the Xue Clan had basically all received the news.
"What? He has finally appeared?"
In Xue Guangkun's manor, he, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly stood up. His eyes were filled with ecstasy.
Ever since he had returned to the Demon Realm, he had ordered people to find out news about Mo Wen. Unfortunately, for hundreds of years, there had been no news at all.
He had originally thought that Mo Wen had either died in the Azure Firmament World or had left the Sword Emperor City. It was almost impossible for him to meet him again.
As one of the people who had gone to the Azure Firmament World with Mo Wen, he knew very well how many opportunities and benefits Mo Wen had obtained in the Azure Firmament World. Any one of these opportunities would make him extremely jealous.
"Alright, this brat has finally appeared. If our Xue Clan had not given him the opportunity to enter the Azure Firmament World, would he have such a great opportunity? Our Xue Clan also has a share of the treasures he obtained in the Azure Firmament World. "
"Immediately inform the clan leader that I want to hold a clan meeting," Xue Guangkun said coldly.
The Xue Clan's meeting was the highest decision-making body of the Xue Clan. Those who could enter the meeting were the true upper echelons of the Xue Clan.
Every year, the Xue Clan's meeting would be held at a fixed time. Some important decisions could only be carried out through the meeting.
Only people at the level of the Sect Grand Elder had the right to hold an impromptu meeting.
After Xue Guangkun returned from the Azure Firmament World, perhaps because he had received too much stimulation in the Azure Firmament World, he had actually successfully broken through to the Great Path Realm in just a few hundred years.
Once he became an existence in the Great Path Realm, he would naturally become the Sect Grand Elder of the Xue Clan. His status was extremely noble.
Only a few Sect Grand Elders of the Xue Clan were qualified to participate in this impromptu meeting.
"What? You want to make a move on Mo Wen?" The Xue Clan leader's expression changed slightly. He had just received the news that Mo Wen had come to the Xue Clan.
Only a few Sect Grand Elders of the Xue Clan knew about Mo Wen's experience in the Azure Firmament World. The others did not know. The few people who had gone to the Azure Firmament World were also ordered to keep their mouths shut. After all, Mo Wen's achievements in the Azure Firmament World were too shocking. Just the inheritance of the Divine Sun Phoenix alone was enough to shake the entire Immortal Clouds Sea.
Those absolute existences, such as the Sword Emperor, the Demon Royal and Demon Empress of the three major Demon clans, and the three great Xuan Ancestors of the Floating Ancestor Alliance, would all be tempted. After all, the reputation of the Divine Sun Phoenix was too famous.
This news was only known to the Xue Clan for now. The other factions did not know.
Although there were many factions in the Immortal Clouds Sea that had entered the Azure Firmament World, the Azure Firmament World was too big. Only Xue Guangkun and a few others had been to the Fire Domain of the Dongsheng Divine Palace.
Hence, even the Xue Clan's Head Housekeeper Mu did not know about Mo Wen's experience in the Azure Firmament World.
