Longevity: Start with the farming game!

Before Han Xuanyu could look closely around, he saw the crowd before him simultaneously bow respectfully to Yun Yingyue:

"Greetings, National Pillar!" x N

Facing the tide of respectful greetings, Yun Yingyue merely nodded indifferently: "Mm."

After Yun Yingyue calmly nodded, she caught sight of the veiled woman standing in the front row winking at her.

As if to convey some message.

After seeing her small action, Yun Yingyue's expression remained indifferent, but a hint of a smile appeared in her eyes.

Only then did Yun Yingyue slowly speak with a majestic voice:

"I am the Master of Tianting Pavilion—Suzaku!"

"The Blood Demon in Guanhai City has been severely wounded by me and fled to the South Sea."

"However, with the Star Sea Map from the Stargazing Tower marking its location, no matter where this fiend hides in Great Zhou, it cannot escape its form!"

"For this National Pillar to kill him is as easy as flipping a hand..."

"When its location is locked, that will be the day of its death!"

"Now, lift the Tianting Pavilion's Class C martial law state. All departments are to continue performing their duties without error!"

Yun Yingyue's grand and majestic voice didn't just echo on the teleportation platform here.

At the same time, it resonated like a great bell throughout the Tianting Pavilion.

As soon as the voice fell, the welcoming members standing on the spot responded in unison like a booming bell:

"As ordered! National Pillar!" x N

Yun Yingyue didn't say more, merely slowly retracted her aura and calmly nodded.

Han Xuanyu looked at his Master, who exuded dominance and immense confidence, and couldn't help but nod slightly in his heart.

"As expected of my Master!"

"Dominating!"

"And the main body of the blood pillar that appeared in Guanhai City, was it called the Blood Demon?"

"Or is the Blood Demon a type of demon race?"

"Hmm... I'll know when I ask Master later."

Ji Qingli, Ji Qingyue, and Yu Qiqi, who were nearby, listened to Yun Yingyue's dominating declaration.

For a moment, their hearts yearned for such power, and they didn't doubt the truth of Yun Yingyue's claim of being able to "extinguish with a flip of the hand."

After all, they were in the Xuanzhen Sect in Guanhai City at the time.

They had also caught a distant glimpse and felt the might of Yun Yingyue's "ten thousand li of fire clouds burning, lifting a hand to make nine suns fall"!

After a look of astonishment, Yu Qiqi silently and secretly shifted her gaze to Han Xuanyu...

As for the members of the Tianting Pavilion who had previously worn solemn expressions, after hearing Yun Yingyue's confident and majestic voice.

They all let out sighs of relief, and their serious expressions melted away like spring snow turning into rain.

"The Blood Demon in Guanhai City was severely wounded by the National Pillar and fled? That's great!"

"As for this Blood Demon fellow, with the National Pillar and the Divine Generals present, destroying him is just a matter of time."

"That makes sense. Now that the National Pillar has returned, the Divine Generals will surely let us return to our normal state soon..."

"Mm, that should be the case."

...

Outside the Tianting Pavilion, the "Gatekeeping Prodigies" felt their moods lighten and were no longer suppressed after hearing the voice.

Among them, Zhang Erke and his nephew Zhang Yihang also exchanged smiles:

"Uncle, we're alive again. Should we use a recording stone to commemorate this?"

"Our uncle-nephew pair can be considered witnesses to history!"

Zhang Erke was originally in a good mood because the martial law was canceled.

Now, upon hearing this, his face instantly darkened, and he glared angrily at Zhang Yihang:

"You brat, if you don't know how to talk, then don't!"

"What do you mean 'we're alive again'? You make it sound like we went through a life-and-death battle this time?"

"Guard the gate properly and keep quiet!"

"And you're not allowed to take out the recording stone during gate duty!"

Seeing his uncle retort like this, Zhang Yihang immediately became unhappy.

Isn't me guarding the main gate for the Tianting Pavilion a very important part?

Gatekeepers are the first to face danger, okay?

Although the primary battlefield was Guanhai City, far away...

As for me taking selfies with the recording stone, that's just to leave behind my highlight moments for future generations!

This is a huge spiritual wealth!

Although what was filmed were all insignificant daily trivialities...

Thinking of this, Zhang Yihang planned to "argue reasonably" with his second uncle, Zhang Erke.

But when he met Zhang Erke's face that looked like he was about to hit someone.

Zhang Yihang silently swallowed the words that had reached his mouth, "Alright, alright, I'll keep quiet!"

"If I'm not taking out the recording stone, then I'm not."

Seeing his nephew standing properly, Zhang Erke finally let out a sigh of relief in his heart, "Phew, he's finally quiet!"

...

At this moment, by the teleportation platform, the four leading figures, all with extraordinary temperaments, bowed to Yun Yingyue once more in unison.

They quickly transformed into four streaks of colorful light and left with their people.

Although all four of them recognized the identities of Ji Qingli and Ji Qingyue.

But since Yun Yingyue didn't speak, they were sensible enough not to say more.

As for the identities of Han Xuanyu and Yu Qiqi, it was naturally inappropriate to ask about them directly.

As subordinates, they would know what they should know, and shouldn't ask about what they shouldn't know.

Han Xuanyu's eyes narrowed slightly as he watched the two men and two women disappear instantly, and he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "Such speed!"

After a hurried glance, Han Xuanyu quickly shifted his gaze downwards.

He saw that one person was still standing on this teleportation platform, precisely the veiled woman who had winked at Yun Yingyue.

Yun Yingyue seemed to sense Han Xuanyu's probing gaze and explained unhurriedly:

"Her name is Wen Yunjian. She is my Suzaku Attendant who manages the Tianting Pavilion and daily affairs, big and small, for me."

"She is also my direct first disciple!"

"If Yunjian can break through the Nascent Soul barrier within a hundred years..."

"I would also feel at ease handing the title of National Pillar Vermillion Bird to her."

As Yun Yingyue's slightly relieved and proud tone fell.

Han Xuanyu's body suddenly trembled, and he reflexively looked at Wen Yunjian, "So that means..."

"She is my Senior Sister?"

"Hiss, but her face is completely surrounded and enveloped by a layer of mist."

"It's hazy and indistinct, making it impossible for me to see clearly!"

"Is it the veil on Senior Sister's face that's providing the concealment?"

Ji Qingli and Ji Qingyue, who were nearby, also suddenly had their pupils contract and their bodies tremble at this moment.

Their gazes, drawn like magnets, simultaneously looked towards Wen Yunjian, who was wearing a white veil.

Yu Qiqi, who was secretly sizing up Han Xuanyu, also widened her eyes and looked at Wen Yunjian.

With the experiences of these three women, they naturally knew the weight of the name Wen Yunjian.

The first direct disciple of National Pillar Vermillion Bird Yun Yingyue!

The Cloud-Painted Immortal, the Immortal Beauty Wen Yunjian!

The foremost person below Nascent Soul in the South Sea!

And so on...

In short, the name Wen Yunjian was synonymous with status, beauty, and strength.

Even in Chang Meng, the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom, she was a famous and well-known figure!

And who knows how many men's dream lover she was...

Yun Yingyue slightly turned sideways and glanced at the stunned Han Xuanyu.

The smile in her eyes deepened, "Is this rebellious disciple shocked by Senior Sister Yunjian's identity?"

"Or is he like others, harboring covetous thoughts towards Yunjian?"

Thinking of this, Yun Yingyue's gaze towards Han Xuanyu became a little dangerous.

But soon she dismissed this thought, "Yunjian is wearing the Star Concealing Moon Veiling纱 that I refined for her."

"Without reaching the Nascent Soul stage, one cannot clearly see Yunjian's original appearance."

"Presumably, this rebellious disciple hasn't bypassed the power of this magical treasure without alarming me."

Thinking this, Yun Yingyue felt a little more at ease.

However, Han Xuanyu had just acutely sensed Yun Yingyue's dangerous glance.

He was instantly scared, his back sweating, and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look closely at Wen Yunjian again.

Upon hearing Yun Yingyue's introduction, Wen Yunjian instantly flashed over and respectfully said to Yun Yingyue:

"National Pillar, you have returned!"

Hearing this, Yun Yingyue withdrew her gaze from the "trembling" Han Xuanyu.

Instead, she casually flicked her hand and lightly tapped Wen Yunjian's forehead: "What should you call me? Call me Master!"

"Yes! National Pillar!"

"..."
