Chapter 440: with translation of chapter title

Soon, Yuan Yao and Cang Li followed Xiao Xiu into Fusang Island City.

Inside Fusang Island City, crowds surged, very lively; peach blossom trees along the streets were hung full with red lanterns, red silk fluttered wildly in the wind, and almost everyone wore clothing bearing Fusang Clan characteristics.

Fusang Clan clothing is colorful, with varied and intricate adornments, giving an exotic impression.

Many men wearing Fusang Clan attire bared half of their arms, and their arms were as sturdy as steel.

Both men and women wore forehead ornaments.

Yuan Yao couldn't look away.

Cang Li then asked Xiao Xiu, 'Has the Fusang Festival already begun?'

Xiao Xiu said: 'Yes, the Fusang Festival began three days ago. Our Fusang Island's Fusang Festival will last half a month; in the first seven days, we will hold various activities in Fusang Island City so everyone can experience our Fusang Clan's customs, hospitality, and enthusiasm. On the eighth day, Fusang Island City will gather all young cultivators to go to the coast and hold a Sea Hunt Event.'

Yuan Yao withdrew her gaze and curiously asked, 'What is the Sea Hunt Event?'

'Sea Hunting.' Xiao Xiu smiled, 'Whoever catches the most or highest-grade prey will receive the reward bestowed by our Island Master.'

'I see.' Yuan Yao nodded in realization.

'Sea Hunting?'

It should be quite fun.

Fusang Island City is really too big.

After walking a stretch, they boarded the Beast Cart prepared by Xiao Xiu and headed toward Central City.

Yuan Yao lifted the cart curtain and just watched the scenery go by.

About half an hour later.

The Beast Cart then arrived at Central City.

'We have arrived.'

After Yuan Yao and Cang Li dismounted from the Beast Cart, what came into view was an extremely grand and imposing manor.

The two followed Xiao Xiu into the manor.

Inside the manor were pavilions, terraces, towers, blue-tiled eaves, exquisite and elegant; along the long corridor, a guard stood every ten meters.

Most of the maids in the manor wore smiles; upon seeing them, they bowed and performed a courteous salute.

The maids addressed Xiao Xiu as Xiao Aunt.

And Xiao Xiu was the Housekeeper of the Island Master's manor.

Soon, they followed Xiao Xiu to the front of Zhao Kong Front Hall.

The guards outside the hall, upon seeing Xiao Xiu and the two, slightly lowered their heads.

Xiao Xiu stood outside the hall and said, 'Island Master and Island Master's Wife, Eldest Miss, Young Master Cang, and Miss Yuan have arrived.'

'Please come in,' a male voice called out.

Yuan Yao and Cang Li had already been told by Xiao Xiu on the way that they were about to meet the parents of the Second Senior Sister, so they remained relatively calm.

The two exchanged a glance and stepped into the hall.

Upon entering, directly ahead was a couple appearing to be around thirty years old; the woman wore a green standing-collar dress, her hair coiled, her features lovely, oval face, her eyebrows and eyes closely resembling Xiao Lingwei's; the man wore a dark brocade robe, his countenance handsome, his whole bearing exuding an elegant, scholarly air.

Seated to their lower right were the Second Senior Sister Xiao Lingwei and a handsome young boy wearing a purple forehead band.

Only see our Eldest Senior Brother Song Yan, Fourth Senior Brother Xue Jin, and Youngest Senior Brother Ying Wuji all seated on chairs.

Besides them, several elders sat in the front rows.

'You look truly beautiful,' said the woman seated on the right, her face showing a gentle smile as she couldn't help complimenting.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao and Cang Li immediately raised their hands in a salute to the two, performing a respectful bow.

'Junior Cang Li pays respects to the Island Master and Island Master's Wife.'

'Junior Yuan Yao pays respects to the Island Master and Island Master's Wife.'

Island Master's Wife, namely Xiao Qiong Hua, smiled and said, 'No need to be so formal; you are the junior fellow disciples of Ling'er, you should address us as Uncle and Aunt, just like Yan and the others.'

'Indeed,' Island Master Xiao Jun echoed.

'Uncle, Aunt,' Yuan Yao and Cang Li said in unison.

Xiao Jun nodded satisfactorily, gestured to them, and said, 'Come, this is the greeting gift prepared for you.'

Both Xiao Jun and Xiao Qiong Hua each took out a box.

Yuan Yao hesitated slightly, but after seeing her own Second Senior Sister give her a meaningful glance, she stepped forward with a smiling face and accepted one of the exquisitely crafted boxes.

'Thank you, Uncle, thank you, Aunt.'

Cang Li also stepped forward to receive the greeting gift.

At this moment, Xiao Lingwei rose, walked to their side, and introduced the people present.

'Ah Li, Yao Yao, these are my parents, Xiao Jun and Xiao Qiong Hua.'

Xiao Lingwei pointed to the handsome young boy wearing the purple forehead band and said, 'This is my brother, Xiao Lingchao.'

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lingchao's expression turned solemn as he rose and bowed to Cang Li and Yuan Yao.

'Lingchao has greeted you both.'

Xiao Lingwei said, 'Call them.'

Xiao Lingchao pressed his lips, seeming somewhat unwilling, he puffed his cheeks slightly, then shouted, 'Cang Li Brother, Yuan Yao Sister!'

After saying that, Xiao Lingchao wanted to sit back in his seat, but suddenly his back felt a chill and his body instantly stiffened.

As he lifted his head, he met Xiao Lingwei's slightly dissatisfied gaze.

Xiao Lingchao clenched his teeth.

Seeing this, Yuan Yao instantly sensed that the relationship between the two siblings seemed not good.

Yuan Yao quickly spoke to ease the atmosphere, 'Lingchao younger brother, hello.'

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lingchao glanced at her, then sat down.

Seeing this, Xiao Lingwei frowned. Just as she was about to speak, Yuan Yao said, "Second Senior Sister, who are those seniors?"

Xiao Lingwei's attention was instantly shifted.

She took Yuan Yao to face those elders and introduced, "These are our Fusang Clan's elders: the Great Elder, Second Elder, Fourth Elder, and Sixth Elder. Our Fusang Clan has more elders, but they are all in closed-door cultivation."

The Great Elder stroked his beard, smiling and praising, "Truly worthy of being the disciple of the Thousand Mountain Immortal Lord—not only does she have the appearance of a celestial beauty, but she also possesses extraordinary talent. Today, for this old man to catch a glimpse of the bearing of the Six Disciples of the Thousand Mountain Immortal Lord is truly my honor."

"You over-praise me, Great Elder," Cang Li said with a smile and a clasped fist, then continued, "The Great Elder and the other elders are role models for us juniors to learn from."

"Yes, yes," Yuan Yao said, clasping her hands in agreement.

The Great Elder burst into laughter, pointing his finger at Cang Li.

"You little brat, you really know how to talk."

Cang Li laughed and said, "It's not just talk; it's simply the fact."

The Great Elder likes others flattering him, and he also likes flattering others.

Compared to Song Yan, Xue Jin, and Ying Wuji, who are not very talkative, he naturally prefers Cang Li more.

The Great Elder presented the prepared greeting gift to Cang Li and Yuan Yao.

The Great Elder smiled and said, "This old man believes you will surely become Immortal Lords, even Exalted Immortals!"

"I gratefully accept your auspicious words," Cang Li said, blinking.

The elders were coaxed by Cang Li into laughing heartily.

Song Yan, Xue Jin, and Ying Wuji: "……"
