Hearing Wang Defa mutter about only looking old, Lu Ming was somewhat speechless. “Didn’t you just get heartbroken? Do you not miss your Cuihua anymore?”
“Exactly, Old Man Wang, have you walked out of the shadow of your heartbreak?” Big Yellow, standing nearby, also asked with a face full of gossip.
Wang Defa’s face stiffened. Can we still have a normal conversation?!
Sigh... The trouble the Grand Elder had brought upon him still had quite an aftereffect.
Suddenly, his eyes flickered, and he looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle.
“Sigh... I originally wanted to get along with you all using a mundane appearance, but now I’m laying my cards on the table. I shall reveal my true face...”
“What?”
“Woof?”
“You have a true face?”
“Hmm?”
“Do you have a second face?”
As soon as Wang Defa’s words fell, Lu Ming and the others looked at him with shocked expressions, unable to help but cry out.
Lu Ming even subconsciously reached out and pinched Wang Defa’s face. “This doesn’t feel fake. It’s even elastic...”
Huang Tianbao, who was next to him, also reached out and yanked on Wang Defa’s beard. “It really doesn’t seem fake?”
“Let go, let go... Let go of me, you guys!”
Wang Defa slapped away Lu Ming and Huang Tianbao’s hands. Pinching his face and yanking his beard—was this any way to behave?
Of course it felt real, and of course it didn’t seem fake.
This was personally prepared for him by the Grand Elder back then. How could it be bad?
Products of a big shot are bound to be premium!
Wang Defa actually wanted to take this opportunity to switch back to his true appearance.
“Hurry up... let us see your stunning face,” Lu Ming urged.
He hadn’t expected that Wang Defa had not only hidden his cultivation but also his appearance back then.
The old man was really playing it safe!
“Right, right...”
Huang Tianbao and the others also joined in the teasing.
Wang Defa didn’t waste words and directly removed his disguise.
Immediately, Lu Ming and the others saw an old man with a transcendent, sage-like air!
Wang Defa whipped his sleeve and said proudly, “How about it?”
“It is better looking than before, but why are you still an old man?” Lu Ming commented, rubbing his chin.
The pride on Wang Defa’s face instantly vanished. “Hmph... What do you know? This is the mature uncle style. It’s highly sought after nowadays...”
Lu Ming and the others: “...”
Old Man Wang must have some misunderstanding of what a “mature uncle” was. He was clearly a grandpa, okay?
Just then, Xue Wuchang looked at Huang Tianbao and the others’ banners and asked, “Great Sect Master, what banner should I hang?”
“Great Sect Master, I have already prepared it for my husband...” Before Lu Ming could even speak, Feng Qingqing, who was beside them, quickly spoke up.
As she spoke, she gave the flagpole a shake, unfurling a banner embroidered with mandarin ducks. On it were written the large characters: “Feng Qingqing's Husband.”
Seeing these words, the corners of Lu Ming and the others’ mouths twitched.
Alright, was she also a talent who fit the aesthetic of the Qingshan Sect?
Xue Wuchang, however, disagreed. “Great Sect Master, I protest...”
“Protest denied,” Lu Ming directly finalized the matter.
Didn’t they see another banner hanging nearby that read “Manager of Xiangbao Pavilion”?
This banner reading “Feng Qingqing's Husband” was clearly meant to prevent any fraudulent marriage attempts.
Others talk about a thread of fate connecting people across thousands of miles, but she didn’t do that—she used a cattle rope and tied a dead knot.
In just this short while, the plaza grew increasingly crowded, and banners with various Saint titles covered the area.
Just then, Lu Ming’s gaze focused as a familiar banner entered his sight.
The banner had a crimson brocade base with a bright yellow border rolled around the edges.
In the center, written in massive characters, were the words: “Saint of the Huaguoshan Lineage.”
The characters for “Huaguoshan Lineage” were written with wild and sharp strokes, fully showing an untamable arrogance.
The characters for “Saint” were crooked and messy, looking like chicken scratch.
“Hmm?”
Lu Ming was stunned. Why was there a banner of the Huaguoshan lineage here?
And it was his own sect’s banner.
Shifting his gaze, in front of the banner was an empty seat. There was absolutely no person or monkey...
Looking further to the side, he saw Zhu Wuneng standing there all alone.
Lu Ming’s eyes instantly widened. Wasn’t this guy in the Southern Frontier? How did he end up here?
And he even hung up the banner of the Huaguoshan lineage.
It turned out that Zhu Wuneng had traveled to the Central Province with the Southern Frontier's Saint. Along the way, the Southern Frontier's Saint had treated him as an errand boy.
Since Zhu Wuneng was already a pig who ran errands for the Mountain-Shaking Pig’s young master before meeting Lu Ming...
Though in the end, the young master of the Mountain-Shaking Pig clan had died on the way to attend the Demon Emperor’s centenary wedding anniversary celebration...
So he was highly adept at running errands.
Seeing that Zhu Wuneng was doing quite well, the Southern Frontier's Saint couldn’t help but feel gratified.
Damn, he had finally found the right job for this guy.
As the saying goes, the weather is unpredictable, and fortune is fickle.
Who would have thought they would encounter a storm halfway through? Everyone from the Southern Frontier had died.
As for Zhu Wuneng, he had tucked Xiao Huihui away and was flung out by the storm, barely surviving with both of their lives.
In the end, one pig and one bird, relying on the spirit boat Lu Ming had given him previously, miraculously made it to the Central Province.
Once the Saintess's Husband Selection Assembly began, they also came to the Tiansheng Sect.
Seeing everyone else hanging up banners, Zhu Wuneng thought about it and decided that since others were doing it, he might as well hang one too.
After all, since he was already here... He then pulled out the banner of the Huaguoshan lineage from his storage bag.
This was something Lu Ming had told him to keep when they were packing up earlier.
However, after taking out the banner, he realized that his banner had two fewer characters at the end compared to everyone else’s.
Although he couldn’t read, he knew what the two missing characters were pronounced as and whether they sounded impressive.
Because everyone around him was discussing this sect’s Saint or that sect’s Saint...
Therefore, Zhu Wuneng followed suit and added the word “Saint” at the end.
At this moment, Zhu Wuneng was muttering fearfully:
“Xiao Huihui, what should I do? I’m so scared. I miss the Great Sect Master and the others, I want to go home... Wuwu...”
Xiao Huihui, perched on Zhu Wuneng’s shoulder, was also speechless:
If you’re scared, then don’t come. But you just had to insist on coming.
Just then, Zhu Wuneng comforted himself again:
“No, I can’t be afraid. I represent the Huaguoshan lineage now. I can’t lose face for the Ancestor, nor can I lose face for the Great Sect Master and the others...”
“I want to be a pig with backbone...”
After brainwashing himself, the cowardice in Zhu Wuneng’s heart dissipated...
Seeing Zhu Wuneng straighten his back, Xiao Huihui also widened her bird eyes: That actually works?
Just then, an arrogant voice rang out:
“Where is your Saint?”
Zhu Wuneng, standing next to the seat, turned his head.
He saw three black-clad Soul Transformation cultivators walking up to him.
Zhu Wuneng’s heart thumped. Oh no, oh no, someone’s looking for trouble. What should I do? Am I going to be beaten to death?
Suppressing the terror in his heart, Zhu Wuneng immediately put on the snobbish, looking-down-on-everyone expression that Big Yellow usually wore:
“What kind of thing are you to dare ask about my Saint? Scram...”
His voice was loud and resounding!
Xiao Huihui, perched on Zhu Wuneng’s shoulder, suddenly felt that Zhu Wuneng was very cool at this moment...
Even though this coolness was put on.
The Desolate Soul Hall cultivators opposite him were also stunned.
What was going on?
A tiny Golden Core pig was actually so arrogant.
Yelling at a Soul Transformation cultivator like him.
