Chapter 1402: Heavenly Continent Heavenly Palace Academy

"Uh, Fellow Daoist Xu, I don't quite understand what you mean. You said you wanted Yaochi to form a girl group; what is this for?"

In the council hall of Yaochi, Bai Cailing accompanied several elders, all looking at Xu Que in confusion.

After Xu Que arrived at Yaochi, he went straight to the point and told them about his idea of forming a girl group.

However, for these cultivators, they had never heard of a term like "girl group," let alone understood its meaning.

"This deity is defeated. You guys don't even know what a girl group is? Too ignorant!" Er Gouzi instantly looked at everyone with full disdain, and said cockily: "Then you should at least know what a boy group is, right?"

"Boy group?" Everyone in the hall, except Xu Que, was confused.

"You don't even know what a boy group is? Then what about female idols?" Er Gouzi asked again.

"Alright Er Gouzi, stop causing trouble. We are only forming a girl group now; why are you pulling out a boy group? And even pulling out female idols—are you crazy!" Xu Que pressed Er Gouzi's mouth. This idiot was purely relying on having been to Earth to show off its superiority!

"Everyone, this idea of mine is actually of great help to Yaochi, at least it can bring you more Immortal Arts and various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures!" Xu Que looked at Bai Cailing and the others, smiling.

"This is certainly a good thing, but we still don't understand, what does a girl group do?" Bai Cailing frowned, full of confusion!

If it were about stealing chickens or dogs, she would feel that Xu Que's Zha Tian Bang was enough to handle it, and there was no reason to bring Yaochi along.

Xu Que raised his mouth and explained: "A girl group... is actually using many young ladies—cough cough, that is, letting dozens of girls form a team, learn singing and dancing, and the key is that they must improve their strength, create various heroic personas, spread them to the world, and enhance their popularity. Afterward, through a series of operational maneuvers, build them into stars. In the future, countless big forces will be willing to pay high prices to invite them to perform. This will not only become a feature of Yaochi, but can also..."

"Enough!" Suddenly, Bai Cailing stood up abruptly, interrupting Xu Que's words.

The several Yaochi elders beside her also had extremely ugly expressions, and even the remaining Yaochi disciples glared at Xu Que, looking full of shame and anger.

This situation instantly made Xu Que confused.

"Uh, Miss Bai, did I say something wrong? Why are you looking at me like this?" Xu Que spread his hands, full of innocence.

He really didn't know what he had said wrong. Once his girl group plan could succeed, and he built them into top stars, the world would worship and pursue them; what was bad about that?

"Fellow Daoist Xu, please show some respect!" A white-haired elder stood up and said in a deep voice: "Your so-called girl group, isn't it just wanting the female disciples of my Yaochi to become geishas or songstresses, to be teased and entertained by others?"

"Hmph, even if my Yaochi has declined and cannot reappear its former glory, it is absolutely impossible to fall to the point of having to become geishas or songstresses!" Another Yaochi elder also snorted coldly.

Afterward, the elder with the most seniority also stood up, looked coldly at Xu Que: "Fellow Daoist Xu, for the sake of your father, Xu Lao, we can treat your words as if we never heard them. Please show some respect to the women of Yaochi in the future, otherwise, even if my Yaochi's strength is not as good as your Zha Tian Bang, we will never tolerate such humiliation!"

After speaking, several elders flicked their sleeves and left, and dozens of Yaochi female disciples also followed closely behind.

The large council hall was left with only Xu Que's group and the expressionless Bai Cailing.

Xu Que was a bit dumbfounded, and after recovering, he patted his forehead with helplessness and a bitter smile.

This time he really had miscalculated one thing. The concepts of these cultivators simply couldn't be compared with modern people on Earth.

Even in ancient times on Earth, the status of geishas and songstresses in society was the most humble. They had no personal freedom and could only rely on their talents to please men, their status being no different from slaves.

In the cultivation world, this situation was about the same, and it was still far from being able to be linked to the modern concepts of Earth.

No wonder the people of Yaochi would be so furious after hearing it!

"Miss Bai, you misunderstood this matter. I didn't mean to humiliate your Yaochi. In my hometown, famous geishas and songstresses are existences revered and pursued by countless people." Xu Que smiled bitterly.

Bai Cailing frowned instantly: "How is this possible? People who just dance and sing can be revered and pursued by countless people?"

"Uh, although I don't really want to admit it, this is indeed a helpless fact!" Xu Que smiled a bit bitterly.

Living on Earth back then, stars were revered by thousands, and he didn't feel anything strange about it; it was a very normal thing.

But now that he was in this position, he also felt that this matter was indeed not very reasonable. Since ancient times, weren't those revered by thousands all heroes who acted chivalrously?

Since when did good deeds of sacrificing oneself for others almost go unnoticed by the world, while the cheating scandals of public figures appeared in the eyes of the world every day!

"Is your hometown really like this?" Bai Cailing was a bit skeptical.

"This deity testifies, this is true!" Er Gouzi raised its hand and shouted.

"Regardless of whether this is true or false, it's already in the past. Please, Fellow Daoist Xu, do not mention this again in the future. No matter how many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures there are, my Yaochi cannot let our disciples show their faces to please others!" Bai Cailing nodded and said solemnly to Xu Que.

"Fine, this matter was indeed my lack of consideration!" Xu Que nodded helplessly. He had come here specifically, full of confidence, ready to start a girl group plan, but didn't expect it to be aborted just like that.

However, there is always a way out. Since the people of Yaochi weren't willing to lower their status, finding real songstresses would always find someone willing!

But now, being treated like this by Bai Cailing and the people of Yaochi, Xu Que's enthusiasm for forming a girl group also dropped significantly. The attitude of everyone made him almost think he was pimping!

"Report!"

At this time, an anxious shout came from outside the council hall.

A female disciple rushed over, looked at Bai Cailing and shouted: "Reporting to the Saintess, a secret order has been sent from the ancestors and the Holy Mother!"

"Secret order?" Bai Cailing was stunned, and then her expression tightened: "What is the content of the secret order?"

"This..." The female disciple hesitated, her gaze scanning Xu Que and the others, hinting to remind Bai Cailing that there were outsiders here.

"It's fine, this is Fellow Daoist Xu Que, the son of Xu Lao, no need to hide anything!" Bai Cailing was actually quite trusting of Xu Que, and even more trusting of Jiang Hongyan and the others, so she didn't intend to avoid Xu Que and the others even for a secret order.

"Eh, no, no, no, since it's a secret order, we should still leave first!" Xu Que hurriedly said.

He understood Bai Cailing's intentions too well!
