64: The curtain rises

Qiongyue Terrace is located in the very center of the Jade Moon Sect.

Many Disciples of the Jade Moon Sect had been busy arranging Qiongyue Terrace for the Qiong Yue Grand Assembly during this period.

Many forces had already taken their seats, each in their respective areas.

While waiting for Empress Qiongyue to appear, many Cultivators were also whispering.

"I heard that Empress Qiongyue took a Personal Disciple, and it's said to be a man. This is truly surprising."

"Isn't that right? He's the Jade Moon Sect's only male Disciple! Damn it, I'm so envious!"

"I wonder if there will be any fun to watch today, after all, those top forces are all here..."

...Not long after, Dongfang Yingxue's figure appeared on Qiongyue Terrace.

Gu Yuan stood behind her, while Di Luoying and Liu Hanyan stood on her sides.

"Look, it's Empress Qiongyue. She truly is like a goddess reborn, so beautiful!"

"Next to her are Sword Immortal Di and Valley Master Liu, right? I've long heard that the three of them are close friends, and now it seems it's true."

"Wait, look, that man behind the three of them, could he be Empress Qiongyue's Personal Disciple, the Young Sect Master of the Jade Moon Sect!?"

"He's so handsome... I'm starting to envy the Disciples of the Jade Moon Sect. How can they have such a handsome Senior Brother!"

Almost the moment Dongfang Yingxue and the others appeared, the entire Qiongyue Terrace erupted with noise from the Cultivators.

After all, Empress Qiongyue was renowned and rarely showed herself.

Coupled with the equally low-key and mysterious Sword Immortal Di Luoying of the Liyue Sword Sect and Valley Master Liu Hanyan of Ice Spirit Valley, all appearing together.

This could already be considered a grand event.

Dongfang Yingxue scanned the entire audience, her expression unchanged.

Then, without much superfluous talk, she simply said faintly:

"Thank you all for gracing my Jade Moon Sect with your presence to attend this Qiong Yue Grand Assembly."

Although Dongfang Yingxue's voice was soft, it reached the ears of everyone present.

All the Cultivators below Qiongyue Terrace also quieted down, listening attentively to Empress Qiongyue speak.

"The purpose of holding this Qiong Yue Grand Assembly is singular: to announce the Young Sect Master of my Jade Moon Sect, and also this Venerable One's only Disciple, Gu Yuan."

With that, Dongfang Yingxue slightly stepped aside, and Gu Yuan, seeing this, also stepped forward, standing beside Dongfang Yingxue.

At this moment, Gu Yuan felt all eyes in the audience fixed on him.

However, he showed no nervousness; to him, these were merely small occasions.

Today, Gu Yuan wore a moon-white cloud-patterned brocade robe, with a crescent moon embroidered on the lapel.

His already handsome, almost demonic, face, accentuated by this brocade robe, made him seem almost otherworldly.

Those deep eyes seemed capable of seeing through people's hearts, making it difficult for others to meet his gaze.

Gu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the many Cultivators below the stage.

This scene caused everyone to be momentarily stunned..."Hmph~ I didn't expect this guy to be so... cough, so handsome today. Damn it, he's just a Gu Yuan!"

In the Liyue Sword Sect's area, Yun Qingci pouted, muttering softly.

However, even she didn't know the meaning hidden in her tone.

The Little Noodle on top of her head swayed with the wind, looking very cute.

"Senior Sister, what are you saying? Hehe, I heard you arrived at the Jade Moon Sect early. Wuwu, that Senior Brother is really handsome, Senior Sister, don't you think?"

The Junior Sisters of the Liyue Sword Sect gathered around Yun Qingci, their small faces filled with admiration for Gu Yuan.

Uh... Yun Qingci couldn't help but roll her eyes at the sight.

Tsk~ Gu Yuan is just like that, why are you all so, hmm... so excited?

"This Senior Sister never lies, you know that. I'm telling you, Gu Yuan, he actually..."

Yun Qingci first put on a serious expression, then began to list Gu Yuan's various shortcomings.

She had always maintained a rigid and serious image within the Liyue Sword Sect.

Therefore, the Junior Sisters of the Liyue Sword Sect deeply believed what Yun Qingci said.

After all, they could never have imagined that their serious and rigid Senior Sister had now become a Little Noodle who spoke nonsense with her eyes wide open.

Gu Yuan would never have imagined that this Little Noodle was already badmouthing him behind his back..."Senior Sister... that Gu Yuan is so handsome, I think Senior Sister is a perfect match for him!"

In the Taiyi Dao Sect's area.

Xi Nian's Senior Sisters and Junior Sisters all said.

They had no objections to their Senior Sister's beloved.

After all, whether in appearance or status, he was a perfect match for Senior Sister.

It's just the Sect... Alas... Xi Nian merely smiled faintly upon hearing this.

She naturally knew her Senior Sisters' and Junior Sisters' concerns, but she had no worries herself.

Xi Nian looked up at Gu Yuan on Qiongyue Terrace, a hint of dreamy allure appearing in her beautiful eyes.

Gu Yuan, as long as you are here, there is nothing to fear for me..."Cult Master, the Emperor is still as handsome as ever~ Hehe, I'm telling you, when I came to the Jade Moon Sect before, the Emperor even smiled at me~"

In the Jin Mie Cult's area, Xiao Meng stood beside Chi Lin, gazing at the handsome Emperor on the stage, speaking like a lovesick girl.

Chi Lin, hearing this, poked her waist irritably,

"You little girl, are you in heat? He just smiled at you, didn't he? That Emperor, he also... cough, hmm, never mind..."

Chi Lin almost let it slip and quickly coughed lightly.

Eh... Xiao Meng looked at the Cult Master, whose face was a little red.

Could it be that the Emperor did something to the Cult Master... Eh...!

"Cult Master, the Emperor, he..."

"Xiao Meng, I advise you to think carefully before speaking, otherwise, you won't see the Emperor again."

Chi Lin glanced at Xiao Meng, saying with a half-smile.

Ugh...!

Xiao Meng immediately covered her mouth, looking at Chi Lin with indignation.

The Cult Master is too hateful.

Isn't she just bullying me, this poor little maid, by virtue of being the Cult Master!

Sure enough, the Emperor needs to return to the Cult quickly so he can deal with the Cult Master, hehehehe...

"What is the origin of this child? This old man can't discern anything at all, not even... a vague future. It's as if he has detached himself from this world. How, how is this possible...!"

In the Qintian Study's area, an old man stared blankly at Gu Yuan on the stage, muttering in disbelief.

The Qintian Study has always taken it upon itself to calculate all matters under heaven and predict the heavenly mysteries of the future.

Mysterious Mechanism Master, as the Sect Master of the Qintian Study, was supremely confident in the Dao of deducing heavenly mysteries.

However, at this moment, regarding Gu Yuan, he couldn't see through anything.

Could it be that the recent disturbance in heavenly mysteries is related to this child...? Thinking of this, a strong gleam burst forth from the old man's eyes.
