Chapter 645: Deciding to Hold the An Tian Assembly: Lin Meimei and Yuki Both Seek the True Thing (6/7, Request Subscription)

Chat group.

Su Xiao: "Uh, Taixuan Brother gave Sun Wukong the title of Central Earth Immortal King?"

Komeji: "He governs the first layer of the Immortal Realm—can he handle it?"

Gachibeli: "Didn't you understand? Sun Wukong is just a mascot. The actual work is still handled by Taixuan Brother's people—like the Great Sage Equaling Heaven in Journey to the West: the title sounds grand, but in reality~ he does nothing."

Zhang Sanfeng: "Indeed."

Jin Chan: "Letting this monkey manage is definitely not feasible—it's just satisfying his craving for official rank. Thank you, Dao Jun! I wonder where this monkey learned to be so obsessed with becoming an official?!"

Hu Yifei: "In ancient times, all professions were inferior; only scholarship was supreme. This was the core belief of the era. When Sun Wukong sought cultivation, he spent considerable time among humans—he must have picked it up then."

Lin Daiyu: "In ancient times, a corrupt prefect could destroy a family; a ruthless county magistrate could wipe out a clan. Officials held boundless power—it's natural for commoners to yearn for office. Sigh, recently, I've encountered a bit of trouble myself."

Su Xiao: "Did demons appear? Or did some immortal descend to interfere with your cultivation?"

Lin Daiyu: "I'm very careful, and with the chat group concealing heavenly signs, how could any immortal notice my differences? Besides, I'm probably just a minor immortal in the Immortal Realm—who would pay attention to me? I'm talking about the Xue family."

Komeji: "Didn't the Xue family go to the capital?"

Lin Daiyu: "They did go before—but now they've come to my home! Because my father was promoted, Aunt Xue begged and pleaded her way here to build connections. That's why Xue Baochai has been frequently visiting our mansion lately—to forge a bond with me so she can leverage my father's business."

Zhu Youjian: "One man's promotion draws the whole clan to cling to him—your world must be nearing collapse."

Su Xiao: "They say A Dream of Red Mansions depicts the late Ming dynasty!"

Zhu Youjian: "??? It's clearly the Qing dynasty—do you think I haven't read it?! 【I'm not well-read, don't lie to me!】"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Good, you've got time to read idle novels?"

Zhu Youjian: "..."

Komeji: "Laughing so hard—Emperor Chongzhen is so pitiful, he's been watched too closely. @Lin Daiyu, Lin Meimei, I'm not interested in anything else—I just want to know if Baochai is beautiful?"

Su Xiao: "Photos! Photos!"

Lin Daiyu: "... You're all so lecherous. 【Covering face】"

Hu Yifei: "I'm also curious. Lin Meimei, I've seen you—truly a beauty who turns nations upside down. Xue Baochai must be no less stunning?"

Lin Daiyu: "Fine, you've got me. 【Photo】 She's definitely not lacking in beauty—she's just got too many schemes."

Su Xiao: "She can't afford to be naive. What kind of people are in Baochai's family? Aunt Xue is useless; her brother causes trouble. If she weren't shrewd, how could she hold onto the family fortune?"

Komeji: "That's true. A girl trying to preserve her family's wealth in that ancient environment—how hard that must be."

Lin Daiyu: "True enough. But I still feel we're not of the same path."

Gachibeli: "Because of the Baochai-Daiyu rivalry?"

Lin Daiyu: "?? What are you thinking? There's nothing to compete over—I just don't want to deal with people who are overly opportunistic. Friendship requires sincerity. If there's no sincerity, there's no point in interaction."

Yingdao Mai: "I get it—Lin Daiyu loves the True Thing! @Yukinoshita Yuki, your kindred spirit has appeared."

Yukinoshita Yuki: "... It really does seem so. Lin Meimei's thoughts align with mine—I don't wish to associate with those harboring ulterior motives. @Zhang Taixuan, Taixuan Jun, is my older sister over there again?"

Su Xiao: "Huh? I sense something unusual."

Komeji: "【Sneaky grin】 Me too."

Kasugano Shion: "Laughing so hard—did Yuki just realize? Yangnai comes over to play all the time."

Yukinoshita Yuki: "Play?"

Komeji: "I get it. Yangnai-sis is just too forward!"

Kasugano Shion: "Isn't that obvious? Yangnai-sis is the designated heir of the Yukinoshita family—she's far more proactive than Yuki."

Yukinoshita Yuki: "..."

Su Xiao: "Let's set aside this awkward question about Yuki for now—let's talk about Taixuan Brother's gains?"

Komeji: "Yuki wasn't awkward until you brought it up—now she really is."

Zhu Zhu: "You're all bad people—now Yuki's truly embarrassed."

Yotsuya Miko: "You're shooting arrows straight into Yuki's heart."

Kasugano Shion: "Wow, you're all so cruel! 【Sneaky grin】"

Yukinoshita Yuki: "【Slams table】 That's enough. Taixuan Jun, how was your harvest this time?"

Yingdao Mai: "Didn't expect Yuki to shift topics so bluntly."

Zhang Taixuan: "The harvest was excellent. One middle-sized world, a Pan Peach spirit root, several mid-grade primordial spiritual treasures—Taixuan Realm's foundation has grown further."

Su Xiao: "Peaches of Immortality? I want to eat them! I want to become an immortal!"

Komeji: "Su Xiao, you're so greedy—you want to eat everything, and that'll only harm you!"

Gachibeli: "You don't want any? Then wipe your drool—you've soaked your game controller."

Komeji: "Liar! I didn't!"

Chan Chan: "Peaches of immortality—how envious I am of the Dao Jun."

Zhang Taixuan: "You're imagining too far. These are only middle-sized world peaches—the ordinary kind only extend life by tens of thousands of years; they cannot grant true immortality."

Yao Yue: "Tens of thousands of years? That's still unimaginable."

Su Xiao: "Dao Jun Brother! 【Winking】"

Komeji: "+1"

Zhu Zhu: "Laughing so hard—you're all such foodies."

Zhang Taixuan: "Fine. Since the harvest was so great, I'll treat everyone to a peach—but only the lowest-grade ones."

Su Xiao: "Yay!"

Komeji: "+1"

Ye Hei: "Shocked! The Dao Jun actually serves us peaches of immortality?"

Han Paopao: "You make the Dao Jun sound stingy—every banquet before, the dishes and spiritual fruits were never lacking."

Komeji: "Exactly! I firmly support Dao Jun Brother and oppose the evil Ye Hei!"

Ye Hei: "How am I evil? I'm the mighty Emperor of Heaven, okay?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Actually, there's no need to overvalue the Pan Peach. The lowest-grade Pan Peach aren't as precious as everyone thinks—those at the Yin-Yang Realm or Hunyuan Realm can only taste them; they gain little magic power."

Su Xiao: "Magic power? Is that even important? The key is, now I can tell others I've eaten Pan Peach."

Xiao Mai: "Exactly."

Hu Yifei: "Dao Jun, can we invite others this time?"

Zhang Taixuan: "You can invite others, but although the Pan Peach aren't precious, each group member gets only one!"

Lin Fengjiao: "That's only natural. Just having one is already enough—Old Dao is very content!"

Zhang Sanfeng: "Correct. Let the disciples just smell the aroma."

Su Xiao: "Zhang Zhenren, you're truly cruel—your disciples will die of craving!"

Zhang Sanfeng: "What can I do? Old Dao only got to eat Pan Peach because of Dao Jun's grace. For them to even smell it is already a great blessing."

Xiao Mai: "Dao Jun brother, past banquets all had names. What's this banquet called?"

Zhang Taixuan: "A name? That's easy. After Buddha subdued Sun Wukong, the Jade Emperor held an An Tian Banquet. We can imitate that—let's call it the An Tian Banquet too."
