CHAPTER 925: CHAPTER 738: CURRENT SITUATION

"Please wait a moment, the three of you, please enjoy some Ice Heart Tea that my husband brought from Cold Palace Master."

Zhao Xueyu, to avoid being rude, took over from Xie Yusheng to host the three guests.

"We were too presumptuous, coming to disturb him while Mr. Xie is resting..."

"The fame of Ice Heart Tea is well-known, to have the chance to taste it today is indeed a heavenly blessing."

Qiao Ningyun and the other two hurriedly said.

Zhao Xueyu received them warmly.

Qiao Ningyun was quite talented in cultivation, not only did she smoothly enter Lingxiao Palace to become a disciple, but she also reached the Divinity Transformation Realm today.

After all, she was part of the first batch of students at the True Immortal Research Institute, and even with almost no suitable cultivation environment, she managed to step into Foundation Establishment, showcasing her abundant talent.

Switching to the Lingxiao Palace Cultivation Technique and making progress a thousand miles a day was no surprise.

The other two were the general manager of Jade Group and the daughter of the chairman of the Jade Group.

The Jade Group itself is a powerful pharmaceutical group in the Central Earth Kingdom, with rumored ties to the royal family, having caught the Immortal Cultivation wave over the years, they have developed and cultivated a large stock of medicines that slightly aid in Immortal Cultivation, rapidly expanding their scale, and today is a global giant in the top 500.

Maintaining a good relationship with them by her husband is certainly an aid.

While Zhao Xueyu was contemplating this, Qiao Ningyun’s feelings were somewhat complicated.

She originally did not want to come to ask Xie Yusheng.

The reason...

It’s naturally related to the emotional entanglements between the Qiao Family and the Xie Family in the past.

Back then, it could be said that Xie Yusheng was almost to become a son-in-law of the Qiao Family and marry her sister, Qiao Siyu.

But unfortunately...

At that time, compared to the rather honest Xie Yusheng, who could be brought in as a son-in-law and potentially take over the Shanhai Group, the Qiao Family favored Jin Yuming, the eldest son of the Golden Dragon Group.

So, when things were about the right moment, the Qiao Family had Qiao Siyu abandon Xie Yusheng and go abroad for a few years, wanting to mingle around Jin Yuming.

However, Jin Yuming, being the heir of the Golden Dragon Group, was not as easy to control as Xie Yusheng, having fun was fine, but marrying, forming an alliance?

Obviously, the Qiao Family was not even considered by the Golden Dragon Group.

After several years of delay, when they turned their attention back to Xie Yusheng, Xie Yusheng had already gradually become successful.

By the time the Qiao Family adjusted their attitude, sincerely wanting to connect the two families, Xie Yusheng had already soared, reaching a height the Qiao Family couldn’t even dream of catching up with.

As for now...

Xie Yusheng, being a real power elder of Lingxiao Palace and a member of the Blue Star Security Council, is on a completely different level from the Qiao Family.

So much so that to see him in person, they had to use the favor Qiao Ningyun had from when she took Xie Yusheng to visit the True Immortal Research Institute.

She glanced at Zhao Xueyu, the beloved child of the Duke Rong Family who was nurtured since young, and thought of her sister Qiao Siyu, who still hasn’t married and believes firmly that with her beauty and talent, she can find a husband not much inferior to Xie Yusheng, she couldn’t help but sigh silently.

One can only say that everyone has their own fate.

...

"Master! You have arrived..."

In the study, even though Xie Yusheng had gone through countless challenges over the past six years, transforming into a top figure on Blue Star, he still couldn’t restrain the excitement in his heart at this moment.

"It seems like you’ve been doing well these past years."

Gu Jinlai said with a smile.

"I owe it all to your guidance, Master. Without you, there would be no me, Xie Yusheng, today."

Xie Yusheng quickly replied.

His words were filled with sincere respect and reverence.

Gu Jinlai, in his descended state, was somewhat sentimental.

He couldn’t quite distinguish whether Xie Yusheng’s reverence for him was sincere or if he was already "assimilated" by the Void Projection Technique.

Perhaps...

It was a bit of both.

"I’ve recently secluded myself for a while, so I’m unaware of the changes happening on Blue Star. Tell me everything in detail."

Gu Jinlai said.

It wasn’t because he mistrusted Leng Tianfeng, Chao Jiuyin, and others, but because the "assimilated" Xie Yusheng couldn’t possibly deceive him in any way.

Because the thought or intention to deceive simply wouldn’t exist for him, much like a believer wouldn’t hide anything from the deity they worship.

"Yes."

Xie Yusheng respectfully acknowledged, quickly describing everything that had occurred on Blue Star during this period.

Overall, everything was progressing according to the plan laid out by Gu Jinlai, with no major events occurring.

No major events occurring...

This meant that, until now, Gu Jinlai hadn’t found a trace of the "Immortal Immortal Instrument" he anticipated.

No!

Let’s not even talk about Immortal Immortal Instruments, he hadn’t even found a single Immortal Artifact.

This left his hopes of excavating ancient cultivator treasures left behind on Blue Star unfulfilled.

Of course, it might also be due to the spiritual energy resurgence not yet reaching the level where those immortal artifacts, or Immortal Immortal Instruments, could reveal their divine powers.

Gu Jinlai consoled himself this way.

"Very well, from now on, continue to work with your senior brothers to maintain the normal operations of Lingxiao Palace’s Grotto Heaven, and you can decide on the trivial matters yourselves."

After understanding the situation, Gu Jinlai ended the conversation.

"Yes, we will do our best to extend the reach of Lingxiao Palace to every corner of Blue Star."

Xie Yusheng promptly and solemnly replied, "We won’t let you down, Master."

Gu Jinlai nodded, withdrawing the Void Projection Technique.

Compared to others, Xie Yusheng was the most deeply affected by his "assimilation." He would occasionally come over to take a look, curious to see how far he would eventually develop.
