Chapter 851 The Souvenir

The first ray of the morning glow shines into the room. Xia Lu rests her head on one hand and strokes Gao Ge’s hair with the other hand.

“You blockhead, you don’t keep your word when you should and keep your word when you shouldn’t...” Xia Lu thinks without voicing it out but she still wears a sweet smile.

She is a bit frustrated that Gao Ge chooses to keep his promise and do nothing but she is still a lot relaxed.

Actually, if Gao Ge really did something, she wouldn’t reject him. Yet, she would find it too fast.

After all, it should be a very beautiful thing for her.

Gao Ge doesn’t regret his decision.

Anyway, in his eyes, it will happen sooner or later. He may as well let nature take its course.

After waking up and having breakfast, Gao Ge also cracks a smile when he thinks of what happened last night.

...

The Star Sect suddenly becomes busy.

Although the opening ceremony doesn’t need to be decorated with lanterns and festoons, some preparations still should be made. Gao Ge doesn’t care about this matter at all but Master Guanshan, Wen Yihuan and the others think that it cannot be up to him. The organization of the opening ceremony and how many people will attend the ceremony are closely related to the position of the Star Sect in the field of immortal cultivation.

It’s like holding a wedding. The location of the wedding ceremony, the presider, the wedding car, the number of tables and the cost for each table...

These all represent class and status.

The guests to attend the wedding also indirectly demonstrate the class of the wedding.

That is the truth.

Gao Ge can pay no heed to it but the Star Sect has to care about it.

Gao Ge keeps saying that as to the member of the Star Sect, quality prevails over quantity. Yet, these things are still indispensable.

Meanwhile...

In the Xiaoshan Sword Sect.

“Sovereign, are we really going to the ceremony?” The old man holding a white lantern stares at Sovereign Zhou with a confused look.

“Sure. Why not?” Sovereign Zhou laughs and puts down the teacup, “After all, they have been to our sect before. One should return as good as one receives.”

The old man frowns.

“What? Are you thinking that since Gao Ge has reached the realm of Grand Master, we may not be able to rival against him?” Sovereign Zhou asks.

“Sovereign, if we confront him with toughness, we may be no match for him indeed,” the old man says calmly.

He is a man of composure.

He always remains rational in any case.

For the Xiaoshan Sword Sect, Gao Ge is their biggest enemy.

Besides, they used to hunt Gao Ge down but he just dodged the bullet by luck.

That was the best chance for them but unexpectedly, Swordlord Mingxing died outside, which hindered the revenge of the Xiaoshan Sword Sect. As a result, they could only suspend the revenge in a hurry. When they finally can resume their revenge, Gao Ge has become a lot stronger.

Besides, Gao Ge alone killed two swordsmen at the realm of Master of the Xiaoshan Sword Sect.

This was literally a stab into their chest.

Mingxing and Mingwu were the hopes of the Xiaoshan Sword Sect.

Yet, Gao Ge crushed their hopes.

In this case, it is hard to tell whether the Xiaoshan Sword Sect can remain the position of the first-class school, not to mention making it into the blessed spots.

This is the crisis the Xiaoshan Sword Sect is facing.

“When both of us die, what do you think the Xiaoshan Sword Sect will become?” Sovereign Zhou suddenly sighs.

The old man in black laughs and shakes his head.

“What? You don’t know either?”

“No, Sovereign, I’ve never thought about this issue,” the old man in black stays silent and then says, “I don’t care what will happen after I die.”

Sovereign Zhou shakes his head with a bitter smile.

Actually, he understands it.

If the two of them switched their identities, he could also think in such an open-minded manner. Yet, he cannot now.

He is the sovereign of the Xiaoshan Sword Sect.

As such, he needs to care about the future of the Xiaoshan Sword Sect.

If every sovereign just didn’t care about what would happen after he or she died, the Xiaoshan Sword Sect would have long been exterminated.

“I didn’t understand why Master passed down the position of the sovereign to me though your cultivation level was higher than me and your talent was better than me. Now, I know why,” Sovereign Zhou takes a deep breath and says, “After becoming the sovereign of the Xiaoshan Sword Sect, I have to spend most of the time handling the matters of the Xiaoshan Sword Sect. Besides, I’m always overwhelmed by various trivial things. Even when I lie in bed, my brain just doesn’t stop working.”

The old man in black stays silent and doesn’t speak.

Sovereign Zhou is telling him one thing.

It is not that Sovereign Zhou doesn’t want to be philosophical but that he cannot.

The old man in black can be selfish but Sovereign Zhou cannot.

“Okay. Let’s not talk about this. The ceremony should be around the corner. Let’s go to the Star Sect together to see how Gao Ge’s sect is,” Sovereign Zhou says, “You should go and prepare a present too.”

The old man in black asks with a bitter smile, “I’m going too?”

“Of course. What if they fall out with us?” Sovereign Zhou grins, “If you don’t go, I will feel insecure.”

The old man in black nods and walks out.

The Xiaoshan Sword Sect’s case also happens to the other cultivation schools.

Disputes take place in quite some cultivation schools and families.

It is mainly about whether they should attend the opening ceremony of the Star Sect.

If not, they will offend the Star Sect.

However, if they do...

They always feel that they will offend the whole field of immortal cultivation if they go.

They all want to know whether the other cultivation schools will attend the ceremony but there are too many people thinking in this way.

Hence, such a similar conversation arises.

“Hey. Will you attend the opening ceremony of the Star Sect?”

“What about you?”

“Well... No, what I mean is if you go, I will go too.”

“That’s what we think too.”

“...”

They all want to refer to what the others will do.

It forms a circulation.

To go or not to go seems to be on a par with the question of “to be or not to be”.

In the end, the Star Sect makes an announcement.

“The cultivation schools that come to the Star Sect will get some souvenirs.”

This is new to these schools of the field of immortal cultivation.

Souvenirs?

Yet, quite some people are impressed.

Gao Ge is a cultivator at the realm of Grand Master now.

As a cultivator at the realm of Grand Master, how can the souvenir be any worthless stuff?

Hence, many cultivation schools and families are tempted.
