Chapter 21: Moving into Cangxuan Peak, A Mountain Full of Peach Blossoms:
Finally, the sect examination that attracted everyone's attention came to an end.
This time, countless kingdoms and sects from the entire Qingyun region gathered here, witnessing the birth of a legendary talent.
Amidst the golden autumn and rising auspicious clouds, just a glance provided endless insights.
Although the examination ended, the various rumors would continue to spread, possibly throughout the entire Kunxu Empire.
All because of one name: Lin Ang, the first chief disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect.
...
After the sect examination, Lin Ang went to the inner sect and was assigned a place to stay.
His residence was in a scenic area of the inner sect, surrounded by mountains and rivers.
A luxurious palace, splendid in gold, exuded grandeur and majesty.
The density of spiritual Qi in this place was such that only the most honored individuals in the sect could rest there.
At this moment, Lin Ang sat quietly in the grand hall, cultivating before a golden statue.
"Chief Desciple Lin Ang, are you there?"
A woman's respectful voice sounded from outside the hall.
"Enter."
With Lin Ang's permission, several women pushed open the golden door. There were more than a dozen women, led by a tall, beautiful woman dressed in white robes. Despite being modestly covered, her perfect figure was still evident.
The woman's name was Liu Qingxue, the chief maid of the inner sect, responsible for the daily life of the first chief disciple.
Liu Qingxue stepped into the hall, seeing Lin Ang bathed in sunlight, resembling an immortal nourished by the essence of nature. His demeanor was extraordinary, especially with the support of his supreme bone, making his aura otherworldly.
‘Is this... Chief Desciple Lin Ang?’
‘I heard that he practiced hard in the outer sect for years and then, in a moment of enlightenment, became a true dragon soaring in the sky…’
Just his silhouette made Liu Qingxue dazed. ‘This is... Lin Ang's charisma...’
Staring for a long time, Liu Qingxue lost herself in thought. But the next second, she realized her rudeness. Her face flushed slightly, and she hurriedly knelt.
Her voice trembled: "I’m sorry, Chief Desciple Lin Ang. I lost my composure."
Lin Ang slowly stood up, waving his hand casually, "We are of the same sect. No need for such formalities."
Turning to look at Liu Qingxue, he said plainly, "From now on, do not kneel. I dislike this gesture."
Liu Qingxue was momentarily stunned.
As a maid, how could she not kneel before the Chief Desciple?
However, the warmth in Lin Ang's tone, combined with his authoritative manner, left her feeling dizzy.
After a moment, Liu Qingxue stood up, respectfully bowed, and said, "Chief Desciple Lin, Cangxuan Peak has been cleaned and is ready for you to move in. It’s the residence prepared by the sect for the first chief."
...
Cangxuan Peak was located in the center of the inner sect of the Azure Cloud Sect, was a towering peak reaching straight into the sky.
At the peak, a grand hall built with exquisite stone bricks and adorned with jade patterns covered thousands of square meters. Surrounded by dense fog, the entire hall appeared ethereal, like a heavenly palace.
"Chief Desciple Lin Ang, from now on, this is your residence, named Cangxuan Hall."
Liu Qingxue explained respectfully, "After the previous chief desciple left, this place remained empty for years. Fortunately, it was always kept clean, looking as new as ever. Twenty maids will take care of your daily needs and will decorate your palace with luxurious jewelry and intricate carvings."
Lin Ang shook his head, "I dislike noise. Just ensure the sect's monthly rewards of heavenly materials and earthly treasures are delivered. Without my summons, don't disturb me."
Hearing Lin Ang's words, Liu Qingxue felt a pang of disappointment at not being able to take care of Lin Ang closely. She was usually calm, so why was she losing it today?
Calming herself, Liu Qingxue obediently nodded, "Understood, Chief Discple Lin Ang."
A few miles from Cangxuan Peak was Mingyue Peak, the residence of the Holy Maiden, Qiu Ruohan. The peak was covered with peach blossoms.
Seeing Lin Ang’s focus toward Qiu Ruohan's peak, Liu Qingxue softly said, "Holy Maiden Ruohan once said that she wants to be buried under a peach tree after her death."
She then shook her head and sighed, "With Holy Maiden Ruohan’s extraordinary talent and world-shocking skills, she is bound to join a Holy Land, prove her invincibility, and enjoy the benefits of longevity. She is too pessimistic."
Lin Ang remembered that Qiu Ruohan's fortune showed she bore a cursed fate, destined not to live past eighteen. Qiu Ruohan herself knew this, which was why she never left the Azure Cloud Sect for a Holy Land.
She had accepted her fate of blooming and withering within the Azure Cloud Sect.
"Is living each day just waiting for life to end?"
Lin Ang murmured to himself.
Until that day comes, everything remains uncertain.
-To be continued!
