I, the Holy Son of Yaoguang, am invincible in the world / Even my beautiful master is invincible.

Chapter 173 The Ceremony of the Conferment of the Holy Son

Bai Xuer put on her coat, and in a flash, she left the secret room.

"Third Master, let me explain... oops, I mean, let me explain!"

No matter how much Lin Xiao called out, Bai Xuer did not return.

"It crashed!"

"Depend on!"

Lin Xiao was extremely depressed.

He had been extremely careful, but he never expected such an accident to happen.

All ninety-nine steps have been taken.

They actually failed at the very last step.

Lin Xiao looked down and sighed, "It's all my fault, second brother. I'm sorry to have wronged you."

Inside the palace.

When Bai Xuer returned, her pretty face was no longer angry, but her face was still flushed with embarrassment.

She didn't actually feel particularly averse to it; her anger was just a subconscious reaction after being startled.

"Lin Xiao is at the prime of his life, and his behavior just now seemed quite normal..."

Bai Xuer felt a pang of regret.

Will this incident strain her relationship with Lin Xiao?

Will it be awkward for the two of them to meet?

Bai Xuer couldn't help but let her mind wander.

Not long after, Bai Xuer saw Lin Xiao return, dressed.

"Third Master, what happened just now was all your fault."

Lin Xiao began to complain about Bai Xuer.

As for awkwardness, it simply doesn't exist.

Why...?

Bai Xuer was a little confused and didn't understand what Lin Xiao meant.

Lin Xiao walked to Bai Xuer's side, took her hands, and sighed, "Third Master, it's all because you are too beautiful that I couldn't control myself."

"..."

Bai Xuer's beautiful face flushed red.

She blurted out instinctively, "I'm afraid you'll treat me like you treated the stone pillar..."

"What's the matter?"

Lin Xiao's face stiffened.

He couldn't help but think of the time he spent outside his second master's palace, hugging a stone pillar all night.

He always thought that only Heaven, Earth, himself, and Shizhuzi knew about this matter.

To everyone's surprise, a new person named Bai Xuer appeared...

"I...I didn't say anything."

Bai Xuer just blurted it out subconsciously.

She regretted it as soon as she said it.

Especially seeing Lin Xiao standing there dumbfounded, looking like he was questioning the meaning of life.

Bai Xuer quickly left the palace, leaving Lin Xiao with a private space to contemplate life...

"Holy shit..."

Lin Xiao was completely distraught.

The thought of how he had spent the entire night clinging to the stone pillar, doing unbelievable things, and how Bai Xuer had witnessed the whole thing, made him wish he could turn back time…

His illustrious reputation was ruined in an instant.

"No wonder Third Master has been so wary of me lately..."

After calming down a bit, Lin Xiao understood many things, such as Bai Xuer's repeated excuses not to practice the Jade Maiden Sword Manual with him.

"Second Master, you've cheated me like this, you have to make it up to me."

"I don't need any more, just the top ten courtesans will do..."

Lin Xiao thought to himself, feeling frustrated.

The only thing that comforted him was that he hadn't received any reward from the system for angering Bai Xuer since just now.

That means that Bai Xuer wasn't really angry.

If he's not angry, it means there's still a chance to continue practicing the Jade Maiden Sword Manual.

Although it was more difficult.

However, if successful, the rewards will be substantial.

Because if Bai Xuer still practices the Jade Maiden Sword Manual with him knowing his thoughts, it would represent a kind of acceptance.

Then, what happened next was truly a natural progression.

"Practice makes perfect!"

Lin Xiao said silently.

He's an upright person with no bad intentions; he just wants to cultivate diligently and improve his strength.

While cultivating the seventh chapter of the Jade Maiden Sword Manual, he and Bai Xuer were of one mind, allowing him to absorb many of Bai Xuer's insights into swordsmanship...

Such an opportunity is extremely rare.

In addition, once he has fully mastered the seventh chapter of the Jade Maiden Sword Manual, he can even borrow Bai Xuer's sword power to a certain extent.

That's really exaggerated.

It should be noted that with Bai Xuer's swordsmanship, even if she only borrows some power, it would allow Lin Xiao's strength to reach a terrifying level.

"It would be great if there were another Jade Maiden Sword Manual."

Lin Xiao murmured something.

Given his close master-disciple relationship with Ye Guo'er, which was akin to that of Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya, cultivating the Jade Maiden Sword Manual would be much simpler if he possessed it.

At that time, he will be able to borrow Ye Guo'er's swordsmanship power.

"Guo'er baby should be back tomorrow, right?"

Lin Xiao muttered to himself.

He still remembered how Ye Guo'er stood up for him and wiped out the Yuan family.

As a man of stature, he should repay even the smallest kindness with boundless gratitude.

……

The next day!

The weather was clear and the sky was blue.

The sacred site of Yaoguang was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, creating a festive atmosphere.

The investiture ceremony of the Son of God is a matter of utmost importance.

Many sectarian factions will be present to witness the ceremony today.

As the dominant force in the Southern Heaven Domain, Yao Guang Holy Land naturally had to be meticulous in terms of etiquette and pomp.

From the outer gate at the foot of the mountain all the way to the inner gate, countless disciples were busy.

But the busiest group of volunteers were those whose faces were covered.

"The Holy Spirit has sent He Tianhong, the sect leader, to arrive!"

"Master Ziyun of the Ziyun Sect has arrived!"

"The Thunder Lord of the Azure Thunder Sect has arrived!"

"The Seven Luminaries Sect Leader, Wuma Zhi, has arrived!"

"..."

"..."

As time went by, people from all sides came to the sacred land of Yaoguang.

Among them, almost all six factions of the Southern Heaven Alliance's three sects and six schools were present.

Although Yaoguang Holy Land and Nantian Alliance have a history of friction and conflict, on this day, both sides outwardly maintained proper etiquette.

The Southern Heaven Alliance came under the guise of offering congratulations, and the Yao Guang Holy Land could not turn them away.

Besides the Southern Heaven Alliance, there are also many other sects and forces.

This also includes some dynasties and kingdoms.

In the Southern Heaven Domain, besides numerous sects and forces, there are also many dynasties and kingdoms that rule over vast territories, and their strength and foundation should not be underestimated.

"Princess Chiling of the Azure Feather Dynasty has arrived!"

"The Thirteenth Imperial Uncle of the Crimson Cloud Kingdom has arrived!"

"..."

Led by their disciples, the various groups headed towards the Yaotai Ancestral Hall.

The Yaotai Ancestral Hall enshrines the holy masters, sages, and great figures of the Yaoguang Holy Land throughout history, and is also the site of many important events.

"Hey! Look at those masked guys, don't they look familiar?"

"That person looks a lot like Tang Chengyuan."
