Chapter 371: What if My Husband Falls for Jiang Qingshang?

“For the Holy Land selection the day after tomorrow, my Saintess Peak will also be accepting Disciples!”

Jiang Qingshang’s words echoed throughout the main hall.

Everyone uttered a sound of acknowledgement and looked up, staring at Jiang Qingshang in astonishment.

The first thought in the minds of all the Hall Masters and Peak Masters was, “Is Her Highness the Saintess also planning to take a Disciple and find a successor?”

But a problem arose.

Setting aside the fact that the Holy Lord was only about two thousand years old and still had a long lifespan—even having the chance to break through into the legendary lost Second Realm—

Furthermore, Her Highness the Saintess’s bone age was only twenty. There was no need to be in such a hurry, was there?

However,

Planning ahead for a rainy day… looking at it that way, it didn’t seem entirely out of the question.

“Alright, I have finished saying what I needed to say today. For the Holy Land selection the day after tomorrow, Qu Ke will represent me and take full responsibility. Are there any objections?”

“We obey the decree.”

The Elders of various halls and peaks certainly didn’t dare to have any objections.

Although Qu Ke was not a member of the Zilin Holy Land, everyone knew she was the Saintess’s confidante.

Besides, it was just an introductory selection, wasn’t it? It wasn’t a big deal.

Rather than having objections, they were more curious about what kind of Personal Disciple the Saintess would eventually choose.

Having said everything she needed to, Jiang Qingshang rose from the Holy Lord’s seat and headed toward the Outer Peak.

In short, from Jiang Qingshang’s perspective, Lin Xun absolutely had to enter her Saintess Peak.

When the time came, aside from a few maidservants, Saintess Peak would only have her and him, and Yaya’s identity could also be well protected.

Although the Dragon Cry Twin Girls would also be coming then,

It wasn’t a major issue.

The Saintess Peak was so large anyway; she would have her husband live right next door to her, so there wouldn’t be much interaction between the Dragon Cry Twin Girls and her husband.

But what if her husband fell in love with ‘Jiang Qingshang’?

Even though she was ‘Jiang Qingshang’ herself and would certainly reveal her identity to her husband when the time was right,

Right now…

What if her husband fell for Jiang Qingshang?

Why did she always feel a sense of discomfort?

Shaking her head, Jiang Qingshang shook off these strange thoughts.

As she approached the Outer Peak, Jiang Qingshang shifted her form, changing back into the appearance of Jiang Qing.

She returned to the small courtyard where they were temporarily residing.

At this moment, Lin Xun was still teaching Yaya her lessons.

With her chubby little hand gripping a brush and her head bowed, Yaya looked like she was struggling immensely. Her baby-fat face was written all over with “I don’t want to study.”

In the evening, a maidservant from the Holy Land delivered meals.

These meals were not mundane food; the ingredients used were Spirit Beast meat or spiritual flowers and plants.

Even a single head of cabbage would be extremely precious in the mortal world.

Furthermore, as he ate, Lin Xun discovered that these spiritual meals were quite extraordinary.

The food he had eaten back when he was growing up in the Ten Thousand Demon Sect was only on par with this!

Lin Xun was quite shocked.

Is this really what they feed Disciples who haven’t even entered the Sect yet?

Was his Ten Thousand Demon Sect too poor, or was the Zilin Holy Land too wealthy, making him look like someone who hadn’t seen the world?

But on second thought, the Zilin Saintess Jiang Qingshang and Qinger were childhood playmates.

So, special hospitality was also within the realm of reason.

The next day, a maidservant from Saintess Peak came to the Outer Peak.

Lin Xun had thought this maidservant was here to notify him to gather at a certain place and then explain the details of tomorrow’s Holy Land selection.

But once again, it exceeded Lin Xun’s expectations.

To his surprise, this maidservant had actually come to provide the explanation in person.

This Holy Land selection was mainly divided into three parts.

The first part was the Spiritual Root test.

This was the simplest part, which involved nothing more than each person placing their hand on a Spirit Testing Stone.

Then, the stone would shout out the quality of your bone structure.

Lin Xun felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity toward this method of testing Spiritual Roots.

The second part consisted of various trials.

To ensure fairness, the specific contents of the trials would only be known tomorrow.

The third part was when all the Disciples participating in the selection would begin to be chosen.

As long as one was selected, they could become a Disciple of the Zilin Holy Land.

If a handful of Disciples were highly regarded, they might even be directly accepted as True Disciples.

A very small number of Disciples would be accepted as Inner Sect Disciples, and a small portion would be accepted as Outer Sect Disciples.

Being accepted as an Outer Sect Disciple by the Zilin Holy Land was definitely better than being accepted as an introductory Disciple by some ordinary Sect.

However, the vast majority of people participating in the selection would fail.

But those who failed would have two choices.

The first choice was to go home.

Zilin Holy Land would specifically arrange for someone to escort you home safely.

The second choice was for Zilin Holy Land to recommend you to other mid-sized or small Sects.

Furthermore, if you had the heart for cultivation, Zilin Holy Land would also send you there for free.

But they would only send you once. After that, if you failed again and wanted to go home, you would have to handle it yourself.

Setting aside the final results, the fact that Zilin Holy Land did this was already very humane.

After briefly explaining the three main processes, the maidservant from Saintess Peak gave Lin Xun’s family of three three jade plaques.

These were like examination permits.

“Thank you for your trouble, miss.”

Lin Xun gave the maidservant from Saintess Peak a respectful bow.

“At dawn tomorrow, Xiaolin will come to lead the three of you to the location of the introductory selection. Please rest well.”

The maidservant also gathered her skirt and returned the bow.

In truth, the status of a maidservant from Saintess Peak was not low. Under normal circumstances, it would never be her turn to deliver notifications.

But since it was a command sent via Flying Sword by Her Highness the Saintess, she would obey unconditionally.

Although a family of three participating in the Holy Land’s introductory selection at the same time was something she was seeing for the first time in several hundred years,

She felt that the three of them would surely pass, becoming at least Outer Sect Disciples.

Because even though they had not yet cultivated, they possessed an ethereal temperament.

The next day, just as the rooster crowed, the maidservant named Xiaolin arrived outside the courtyard.

Lin Xun’s family of three arrived at the location for the introductory selection.

Even though Lin Xun was somewhat mentally prepared for Zilin Holy Land’s “casting a wide net to catch many fish” approach,

He still hadn’t expected there to be so many people!

On this small plain, many people were already whispering to one another, building connections, as they might very well be fellow Disciples in the future.

And upon seeing Lin Xun’s family of three all coming to participate in the introductory selection, many people fell into a slight silence.

It wasn’t that a family of three couldn’t come to cultivate immortality…

It just felt… a bit strange.

However, some Dao Companions who came from small Sects affiliated with Zilin Holy Land felt a sense of kinship toward Lin Xun’s family.

They even said to Lin Xun’s family, “Don’t be nervous, just do your best.”

But looking at them, Lin Xun felt they were more nervous than he was.

Checking the time, it was roughly seven o’clock. Several auspicious clouds drifted across the sky.

At the same time, over a hundred Spirit Testing Stones fell from the sky, crashing into the plain.

“Those with a Spiritual Root of Grade B-Middle or higher may pass the first trial!”

A voice amplified by magic echoed out.

Lin Xun followed the sound and looked up.

Is that… the City Lord of Luocheng?

Why is she presiding over Zilin Holy Land’s introductory selection?
