Chapter 463: They Can’t Be Here To Pick Us Up, Right?
Yu Zhao lowered her head to look at the bouquet in her hands and did not feel anything was wrong with it.

When she looked back at Ancestor Sui Bian, what entered her eyes was an extremely gaudy mix of bright red and purple, bold and eye-catching.

It was completely different from the fresh and elegant bouquet in her hands.

Yu Zhao silently shifted her gaze away.

She thought to herself: [Forget it. As long as Ancestor is happy.]

When they left, Ancestor Sui Bian’s face was full of smug smiles.

It was not until they arrived outside a grand and imposing sect that Ancestor Sui Bian belatedly started to feel nervous.

“Yu Zhao, how do I look today?”

“Very good.”

Yu Zhao gave him a firm answer.

When they set out, Ancestor Sui Bian had specially changed into a new outfit. Now he kept his face stern and sucked in his stomach. He barely managed to look a bit like a dignified immortal.

“Really? How about I go and try on two more sets of clothes and you help me choose?”

Ancestor Sui Bian actually wanted to back out.

“Ancestor, weren’t you the one who said my taste was bad? What you picked must be the best.”

“But…”

Ancestor Sui Bian was still hesitating when a group of people suddenly hurried out from the grand mountain gate ahead. They stopped outside, looking far into the distance as if waiting for someone.

Yu Zhao asked curiously: “Ancestor, they can’t be here to pick us up, right?”

Ancestor Sui Bian’s attention was also drawn over. He stroked his beard and said uncertainly: “That should not be it. I did not tell Qun Fang I was coming today.”

The two of them looked at each other, hesitating about whether they should show themselves.

Two streaks of rainbow light suddenly sped over from the sky, leaving behind seven-colored trails like a rainbow.

The group of people standing at the mountain gate were overjoyed and immediately bowed respectfully, saying: “Greetings, Ancestor Fei Hong!”

The seven-colored phantom mirage faded, revealing two figures.

One of them looked to be around forty, very handsome and elegant. Behind him stood a young man who resembled him by about half.

Ancestor Fei Hong nodded slightly and said: “This is my son, Du Wu Xiang.”

Du Wu Xiang cupped his hands and exchanged a polite bow with them.

“Virtuous nephew Wu Xiang, you are truly a fine young man.”

“Ancestor Fei Hong has a worthy successor.”

“Fellow Daoist Du is too polite.”

As they chatted, the group was just about to walk into the sect.

Ancestor Fei Hong had just taken a step forward when his sharp gaze suddenly shot toward where Yu Zhao and Ancestor Sui Bian were hiding.

He shouted: “What sneaky rats are hiding there!”

Yu Zhao only felt her vision blur as blazing radiance stabbed at her eyes like sharp needles.

“Hmph!”

Ancestor Sui Bian snorted coldly and stomped his right foot heavily forward.

An invisible sound wave suddenly spread out. The radiance shattered with a boom, and the scenery before Yu Zhao slowly regained its colors.

Now that their position was exposed, Ancestor Sui Bian no longer tried to hide. With a thought, he stepped out of the void and revealed himself.

Ancestor Fei Hong was stunned at first, then the corners of his lips curled up and he laughed.

“So it is you.”

“I thought your old eyes were failing and you would not recognize me.”

“How could that be? I can forget anyone, but I could never forget you, my old friend.”

Although Ancestor Fei Hong was smiling, there was a hint of mockery in his tone.

Du Wu Xiang asked: “Father, this Senior is…?”

“This is Master Sui Bian, whom I have mentioned to you before.”

“Junior Du Wu Xiang greets Master Sui Bian.”

Du Wu Xiang not only looked similar to Ancestor Fei Hong, he had also copied his entire bearing almost perfectly. Every move he made was refined and graceful.

Ancestor Sui Bian secretly rejoiced that he had not come alone this time. Otherwise, he would have lost face in front of his old rival.

“Yu Zhao.”

“Disciple is here.”

“Let me introduce you. This is Ancestor Fei Hong of the Heavenly Bow Realm.”

Yu Zhao smiled slightly and said: “Greetings, Ancestor Fei Hong. Greetings, Fellow Daoist Du.”

The two of them looked at each other with smiles, but there was also a searching look in their eyes.

After Du Wu Xiang and Yu Zhao finished exchanging greetings, the people who had not been able to speak earlier finally found a chance to open their mouths.

“Ancestor Fei Hong, since this Senior Sui Bian is your old friend, why don’t you both come to Lingyin Sect as guests? It would also be a chance for us to show Lingyin Sect’s hospitality.”

Ancestor Fei Hong smiled and said: “Sect Master Hengnan is too polite. Sui Bian and I are not that close, but he and your sect’s Elder Qun Fang are dear friends.”

“Ah?”

The people from Lingyin Sect were all startled. Their attitude became even more enthusiastic.

“So you are Elder Qun Fang’s honored guest. Please forgive us for our poor welcome just now.”

Since Ancestor Sui Bian had suddenly dropped in to visit, he naturally did not mind such small details.

After a few more polite exchanges, they walked together into Lingyin Sect.

Sect Master Hengnan did not know the whole story, and along the way he could not help sighing: “No wonder Elder Qun Fang told us to personally welcome you at the mountain gate. So there are two honored guests visiting together. This is truly Lingyin Sect’s good fortune.”

Yu Zhao could not see through Sect Master Hengnan’s cultivation level, but since several of the cultivators following behind him were in the Divine Transformation Stage, she could roughly guess that he should be a Void Refining cultivator.

Ancestor Sui Bian and Ancestor Fei Hong were both Integration Stage cultivators, so Sect Master Hengnan treated them very respectfully, his words full of flattery.

Ancestor Sui Bian frowned as he listened.

It was not that he disliked people flattering him.

It was just that when he heard Sect Master Hengnan say that Ancestor Fei Hong was Elder Qun Fang’s personally invited honored guest, he felt extremely upset.

If he had known, he would have given Qun Fang a heads-up before coming.

Ancestor Fei Hong kept smiling.

He said: “Sect Master Hengnan is too polite. Since Qun Fang invited me, how could I not come? And getting to see an old friend I have not seen in many years is also a great blessing.”

Ancestor Sui Bian curled his lips.

His son was already this big, yet he still kept calling her “Qun Fang” so sweetly.

[Shameless.]

[Unlike me. I keep myself pure and as spotless as jade.]

Lingyin Sect was built on top of the mountains.

They had flattened the tops of several peaks and built long stairways between them.

Elder Qun Fang’s residence was on the highest mountain of Lingyin Sect.

The other people from Lingyin Sect stopped at the bottom of the long steps. Only Sect Master Hengnan personally led them up the mountain.

As she walked up the long steps, Yu Zhao thought to herself: [Senior Qun Fang’s position in Lingyin Sect should be about the same as the Grand Ancestor in Five Elements Dao Sect.]

She just did not know if this Senior Qun Fang would be willing to help her remove the Jade Ruyi on her body, and whether Ancestor’s face would be enough.

After they walked a while longer, a faint fragrance of flowers drifted to the tips of their noses.

A vague guess rose in Yu Zhao’s heart.

When she looked up and saw the layers and layers of bright red flowers above the steps, her guess was suddenly confirmed.

Ancestor had been right.

She really did not understand this Senior’s taste.

At this moment, she felt Du Wu Xiang’s steps beside her falter as well.

Yu Zhao was satisfied.

[So it was not just me.]

“Grand Elder, Hengnan has brought two Seniors to visit.”

“Come in.”

A soft, gentle voice floated out from inside.

The flower bushes above them immediately moved to both sides, opening up a path.

“Please, Seniors.”

Ancestor Sui Bian took a deep breath. Before Ancestor Fei Hong, he lifted his head high and strode forward.

He called out in a drawn-out voice: “Qun Fang~”
