Before coming to the Celestial World, he had already known that he would be able to utilize the laws of nature for a short period of time, thus granting him great strength.
But … never in his wildest dreams did he think that Song Yu would possess such a bizarre ability that he couldn't even control!
"Cough cough. As Sages, the laws of nature have already fused perfectly with our bodies. Even a single strand of hair harnesses concentrated power of laws. That's why you weren't noticed by our enemies when you used your hair because you weren't using the laws of nature. Of course, as a part of our bodies, it's bound to be affected by our actions! "
Song Yu's voice sounded in Zhang Xuan's mind.
He was worried that someone would notice his actions, but he couldn't care less at this point.
"Even if it's affected, it shouldn't be necessary for you to speak up for me …" Su Yin gritted his teeth.
"I've already taught you these words. You can consider it as the power of laws being triggered …" Song Yu said. "Alright, no matter what, my hair has already helped you fend off two calamities. Otherwise, do you think that you would have been able to remain here safely?"
Su Yin was rendered speechless.
While the power of laws triggered by Song Yu's hair was ridiculous, he had to admit that it had indeed helped him overcome the hurdle.
Otherwise, he would have long been captured by the founder, needless to say, the Holy Maiden.
It wasn't his style to peek at the other party bathing. Putting aside developing a good impression of Song Yu, there was a good chance that Song Yu would never forgive him.
Shaking his head, Su Yin asked, "So, the Path of Sainthood that you have comprehended is …"
"Love!" Song Yu explained. "I'm a Casanova!"
Su Yin widened his eyes in realization. He quickly scanned his surroundings before discreetly making his way in the direction of the Groom Selection Convention.
He had been wondering what fish rearing was all about, but in the end, it turned out that he was rearing mermaids … How was this fishing or rearing fish? It was more like he was rearing the king of the seas!
Without Song Yu's power of laws, Zhang Xuan was able to evade several waves of disciples searching for him. Eventually, he found the main hall of the Groom Selection Convention and silently returned to his seat.
Upon seeing Zhang Xuan's return, Shao Qing heaved a sigh of relief. "Brother Su, you're finally back …"
Su Yin didn't bother explaining himself. Instead, he asked, "Did anything happen after I left?"
"No, the treasures for the marriage proposal have been sent, but there's still no news. The three fairies who participated in the marriage selection have also not appeared!" Shao Qing said.
"That's good …" Su Yin nodded. It was fine as long as no one noticed him leaving.
The young sect master of the Qing Yi Sect, Luo Xuanji, looked at Su Yin with furrowed brows. No one knew what he was thinking.
Others might not have noticed the two of them sitting in the corner, but as their sworn enemy, he knew.
This guy had quietly left the two planets … Where did he go, and what did he do?
If there was nothing going on, then so be it. If there was something going on, then he would definitely expose it!
…
"It seems like the activation of the Sect Guardian Formation and the search for him is all for him. No, I have to find him before the others. Otherwise, he will be in danger..."
The Saintess stood rooted to the spot for a moment, her eyes filled with worry.
Although she didn't know who the young man who suddenly entered her courtyard was, she didn't want anything to happen to him!
Identifying a direction, Zhang Xuan hurriedly rushed forward. Soon, she encountered a search party. Upon seeing her, they bowed and greeted, "Holy Maiden!"
"Un. I heard that someone has barged into the sect. May I know if it's true?" the Saintess asked coldly.
"Reporting to the Saintess, it should be true. It's said that … the sect founder gave the order personally!" A disciple clasped his fist and replied.
"The sect founder?"
The Saintess narrowed her eyes. "Didn't she … fall into a deep slumber?"
"Yes, but she woke up a moment ago. I even saw her …" the disciple replied.
"This …" The Saintess' body tensed up. "You all should head over there. I'll head over to the other side to take a look!"
Even the sect founder had woken up. What in the world did that fellow do?
Wasn't he supposed to be a painter?
It was just a painter. There was no need for him to cause such a huge uproar in the sect!
Conflicted, the Saintess walked around aimlessly. Before she knew it, she had already arrived before a huge hall. It was brightly lit and bustling with activity.
"Your Highness …"
Just as she was about to walk around the hall, a voice suddenly sounded.
Turning her head, she recognized the voice. "Little Xin …"
It was none other than one of the three maids who had participated in the groom selection, Mu Ruanxin.
"I didn't think that Your Highness would come here personally to help us check on the candidates …" Mu Ruanxin exclaimed in agitation.
The Saintess had never stepped out of her residence, so it was only natural that she wanted to help them.
"Check on the candidates? I don't … "The Saintess shook her head. She was just about to deny it when she suddenly froze.
That was right!
It just so happened that the Frigid Cloud Sect was holding a groom selection today, and there were quite a few outer disciples who had sneaked in. Could that young man be one of them?
Otherwise, given the defenses of the Frigid Cloud Sect, it was impossible for anyone to sneak in so easily.
With such thoughts in mind, the Saintess turned to the Saintess and said, "Un. I can help you take a look. Consider it as a sign of our relationship as master and servant."
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Mu Ruanxin nodded.
If not for the young man, they would have only been able to choose a marriage based on the interests of the sect. But now, they had a chance to find someone they liked …
The gratitude she felt for the Saintess was unimaginable.
Paying no heed to Mu Ruanxin's thoughts, the Saintess walked into the hall and saw that the center of the room was filled with all kinds of treasures.
Even though the rules stated that each sect could only give one treasure, in order to win the goodwill of the Saintess, many sects had given her a huge pile of gifts, fearing that they would miss out on this opportunity.
"Paying respects to the Saintess!"
Upon seeing the Saintess, the ladies who were participating in the groom selection, as well as the elders and disciples who were hosting the event, clasped their fists and greeted the Saintess.
The Saintess's face was impassive. She suddenly thought of something and asked, "Are there any paintings among the gifts?"
Given how the young man was able to produce such a profound painting in such a short period of time, he was bound to be a master painter who was renowned throughout the Celestial World. Since that was the case, it was likely that he would give her the treasures that he was most skilled in.
Just thinking about the possibility that the young man would be here for the groom selection … for some reason, she felt a little uncomfortable.
"There are indeed some paintings …" one of the ladies replied.
"Let me take a look!" the Saintess waved her hands grandly.
The crowd was a little perplexed, but they still passed the two paintings over.
The Saintess took the paintings and opened them up to take a look. A moment later, she shook her head.
Although these two paintings were also very precious and could be considered as one in ten thousand, compared to the young man's brushstrokes, they were not at the same level at all.
It seemed like that wasn't the case.
After a moment of contemplation, the Saintess turned to the ladies who were participating in the groom selection and asked, "Did you choose any treasures?"
"Sun Yueqin and I chose a medicinal herb at the same time, and Mu Ruanxin chose a jade flute …"
The three ladies who were participating in the groom selection were Xu Ruoyun, Mu Ruanxin, and Sun Yueqin.
The one who spoke was the one called Xu Ruoyun.
"Medicinal herb?"
The Saintess was stunned.
She knew that Mu Ruanxin liked to play the flute, and she was the one who taught her how to play the flute. However, Xu Ruoyun and Mu Ruanxin weren't interested in medicinal herbs at all, so why would they choose a jade flute?
"Saintess, you'll definitely like it too! I wonder which sect it is. They're too considerate … "
With a smile, Xu Ruoyun picked up a storage ring and pinched it lightly.
A crimson medicinal herb in the shape of a phoenix appeared before her.
The rich fragrance, colorful colors, and scorching temperature caused the entire room to burst into exclamations. Even the Saintess was stunned on the spot, unable to believe what she was seeing.
She had seen many medicinal herbs, but it was definitely her first time seeing such a beautiful one. She was stunned for a moment.
One of the elders recovered from the shock and said, "This is a five-thousand-year-old Blazing Phoenix Flower. It's incompatible with the cultivation technique of our Frigid Cloud Sect. Not only will it be useless after being refined, it might even cause the opposite effect …"
Before he could finish his words, the Saintess and the three maids spoke simultaneously, "Why do you want to refine it?"
"Then …" The elder was stunned.
"It's enough that it's beautiful!" Ignoring the elder, the Saintess looked at the two maids before her with glowing eyes, "Ruoyun, Yueqin, can you give this medicinal herb to me? I'll choose other treasures to make it up to you … "
The fact that she was willing to pay a huge price to plant countless flowers in her residence meant that she was extremely fond of such beautiful things. Seeing it now, she couldn't bear to part with it.
"Saintess, you're being too polite. If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't even have the chance to choose our groom. It's just a medicinal herb, just take it!"
Xu Ruoyun smiled. Following which, she frowned as she recalled something, "However, only the chosen gifts will be kept, and the rest will be returned to them …"
The Groom Selection was also a welcoming party. The chosen gifts would be kept in the Frigid Cloud Sect as betrothal gifts. As for those that couldn't be chosen, they would naturally be sent back.
It wasn't a big deal for the Saintess to take away this medicinal herb, but this way, it was equivalent to taking away a gift. When it came to returning it, there would definitely be all kinds of trouble.
"It's fine, I'll explain it personally. The purpose of the Groom Selection is to help the Frigid Cloud Sect maintain the relationship. If the other party is an equal sect, I'll compensate them with other treasures to continue the relationship. If it's a lower sect, the Frigid Cloud Sect will continue to protect them …"
The Saintess smiled.
The other party's purpose of offering treasures was to gain the goodwill of the Frigid Cloud Sect. As the Saintess, she had enough weight to make a move personally. It was just a medicinal herb, so it wasn't a big problem.
"That's true!" Sun Yueqin smiled, "If they knew that the Saintess took a fancy to the medicinal herb they sent, they would probably wake up laughing!"
Everyone nodded.
The Saintess of the Frigid Cloud Sect was going to marry into the Holy Land. In other words, she would become a member of the Holy Land sooner or later. Furthermore, she would have an extremely important position. One could imagine how much weight she would have. She wouldn't lose out to the Sect Master.
A sect that could gain the favor of such a person and make her offer her treasures would definitely make a huge profit.
Storing the Blazing Phoenix Flower into her storage ring, the Saintess said, "Pick two more that you like, and then you can go!"
"Yes!"
Xu Ruoyun and Sun Yueqin nodded simultaneously.
…
"Reporting to the founder, we've checked carefully. From your instructions until now, no one has left the sect …"
In front of the thatched cottage, the Sect Master of the Frigid Cloud Sect looked at the middle-aged woman before him. He didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
The founder had fallen into a deep sleep several thousand years ago. Now that she suddenly woke up, no one knew what had happened.
Hearing that no one had left, the middle-aged woman frowned and asked, "Did anyone enter the sect recently? A male around eighteen or nineteen years old?"
After 'Little Fish' left, she chased after him, but she didn't find anything. Thus, she asked the disciples of the sect to help investigate. Unexpectedly, they didn't find anything either. The other party was like a drop of water entering the sea, completely disappearing without a trace.
She had seen the other party's strength. He wasn't strong, just that his defense was strong. She didn't hesitate for long before chasing after him, so how could she not find him?
"Eighteen or nineteen years old?" Not expecting the person the founder was looking for to be so young, the sect master was taken aback for a moment before explaining, "There's a Groom Selection Ceremony tonight, and there are quite a few young prodigies here."
"Groom Selection Ceremony?" The middle-aged woman pondered for a moment before asking, "Where is it? Bring me there!"
"Alright!"
Even though the sect master had no idea what the old ancestor was up to, he still nodded in agreement.
…
In the main hall of the Groom Selection Ceremony, Su Yin waited for a moment, and seeing that no one had come to inquire about him, he heaved a sigh of relief.
The founder of the Frigid Cloud Sect probably didn't see his appearance clearly. As for the one who was bathing, he had used Song Yu's' Casanova 'to create clothes and a folding fan, and his appearance had also become more compatible with the other party's imagination. As long as the other party didn't come over personally, it would be impossible for them to recognize him.
As long as he could find a way to survive the night and find an excuse to leave, he should be safe.
Of course, the founder of the Frigid Cloud Sect was only at Dao Integration realm. Even if he was discovered, he should be able to escape using Song Yu's Great Dao.
However, the so-called 'Casanova' rule was too strange, and he really didn't want to continue using it.
"Everyone, the gifts of the three fairies have been chosen. Later, they will come over personally to announce it. Of course, the chosen gift doesn't mean that the marriage with the Frigid Cloud Sect will be successful. It just means that the probability is higher! After that, there will be performances and exchanges … So, those who are chosen, don't be too happy, and those who are not chosen, don't be discouraged. "
Just as he was letting his imagination run wild, Elder Lu, who was in charge of the ceremony, came over again.
"Yes!"
Seeing that the results were out, everyone looked nervous at the same time. Even Shao Qing clenched his fists, and his knuckles turned slightly white.
Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yin saw three women with veils over their faces walk in. Although most of their faces were covered, their temperament, figure, and exposed eyes were all abnormally beautiful. They gave people a feeling that they would be pitied upon seeing them.
"It's not her …"
Seeing that he didn't meet the bathing woman, Su Yin heaved a sigh of relief and secretly looked at Luo Xuanji.
He saw the corners of his mouth curl up as he looked at one of the women with a smile in his eyes.
The girl who was being stared at blushed and hurriedly lowered her head. Her fingers under her sleeves slowly clenched, and she looked very nervous. There was also a trace of shyness in her eyes.
"As expected, someone has privately pledged to marry him …" Su Yin came to a realization.
No wonder the Young Sect Master of the Qing Yi Sect was so confident. One of the three fairies had already made an appointment with him. In other words, no matter what treasure he gave, the other party would choose it.
Naturally, victory was in his hands.
Feeling his gaze, Luo Xuanji turned and looked over. His eyebrows raised slightly with a strong sense of provocation.
