Chapter 2531

"Is this surprising?" Zhu Yanyi said calmly. "If we come here and don't get good results, how can people understand that the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect does not allow invasion? How can they know my disciples can protect the sect?"

More importantly, people needed to know they could protect themselves. Therefore, it was the absolutely right choice for talented people like Cui Wan to stay in the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect.

No one could say that talented people like Cui Wan couldn't exist in small sects. No one could firmly believe that small sects couldn't create miracles. At least, the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect could create miracles.

Lang Yi listened to Zhu Yanyi’s words, her eyes showing some surprise. She seemed unable to imagine Zhu Yanyi having such ambition.

"That ambition is too big," Ping Chuan said.

Before Zhu Yanyi could speak, Old Ghost spoke up first. "Having big ambition is a good thing. It gives drive. For people like you who have no ambition at all, you basically shouldn't exist."

"Old Ghost, some words shouldn't be said casually," Lang Yi reminded him.

Old Ghost tapped his smoking pipe. "Why can't I say it? Do you think your five major regional sects are definitely top-tier? Do you not allow others to surpass you? Taking things for granted is not a good mindset."

Old Ghost looked at Lang Yi calmly and continued, "Moreover, after so many years, I feel your five major regional sects really need to change. If you don't change soon, your tails will probably poke through the Immortal Realm."

"That metaphor is good," Silver Fox nodded in agreement from the side. "To put it plainly, the current Immortal Realm sects seem to have a mindset of taking things for granted."

Old Ghost hummed. "It's not just a mindset of taking things for granted. They even believe everything they do deserves priority. For example, in this Heavenly Fortune Competition, they have priority. They can directly enter the third round. So-called fairness is decided by them. I, Old Ghost, can't stand this."

Lang Yi wanted to refute this but didn't know how to start. He could only look at Old Ghost, wanting to speak but finally saying nothing.

Old Ghost sneered, seemingly familiar with Lang Yi's attitude. He said nothing more, only adding, "My words may not sound nice, but this is reality."

It was indeed reality. Neither Lang Yi nor Ping Chuan could refute this, because in any place, regional sects did have priority.

"If you have the ability, you can come and challenge," Ping Chuan murmured after a long pause.

"Yes, so now someone wants to challenge you," Old Ghost said with a grin. Then she turned to Zhu Yanyi. "Let's make it clear, girl. If you challenge successfully and teach them a lesson, I will cook some food you want to eat. Of course, after your baby is born, I will send her to a good place for a proper bath."

Before Zhu Yanyi could speak, Yan Aohan’s eyes flashed with surprise. He then said, "Sure. You said it, I remember it."

Old Ghost glanced at Yan Aohan. "When have I ever broken my word?"

Yan Aohan nodded satisfactorily. "I know you always keep your word. It would be best if you gave more of those lotus seeds and lotus roots your wife specially planted. My wife can eat them during her confinement."

"Cough, cough." Old Ghost coughed twice. "I've never heard of cultivators needing confinement after giving birth."

"It starts here. You can hear about it now," Old Ghost sniffed at Yan Aohan, clearly disagreeing with this idea.

Yan Aohan said calmly, "You've heard it now. Others don't do confinement because they lack conditions. We have the conditions, so we will naturally do it."

Even if cultivators didn't need confinement, for Yan Aohan, all procedures had to be followed. So even if it wasn't originally needed, for him, this procedure had to be executed.

As for Zhu Yanyi, although she knew she didn't need confinement after giving birth, since her husband required it, she would naturally do it properly.

Zhu Yanyi ate fruit on the side, watching Yan Aohan and Old Ghost. For some reason, she felt Yan Aohan seemed to know Old Ghost's origin.

She looked at Old Ghost again. her aura seemed somewhat familiar, suggesting she should be someone she knew. But her appearance didn't match. She shook her head slightly. she must be an avatar of some big shot.

Old Ghost knew what Zhu Yanyi was thinking from her expression. She said nothing, as long as Zhu Yanyi didn't expose her identity.

Although Zhu Yanyi guessed Old Ghost was an avatar of some big shot, she couldn't figure out who it was right away. Since Yan Aohan seemed to know, she didn't rush to ask. She could secretly ask Yan Aohan later.

Thinking this, Zhu Yanyi cared even less about who Old Ghost was.

Yan Aohan naturally knew something about Old Ghost's identity. However, with so many people around, he didn't expose it. He only said, "My daughter is about to be born. Shouldn't you prepare a gift?"

Old Ghost paused, then said, "Can you stop asking me for gifts randomly? Haven't you extorted enough things from me?"

"Those things were for me or my wife. They weren't for my daughter," Yan Aohan said. "You haven't given anything for my daughter yet."

Old Ghost smiled. "How about you let your daughter marry my son? Then I can give you more."

"You're thinking too much. Marrying your shameless old sons? You actually said that. Go away. Prepare the gift. As for your son, forget it." Yan Aohan would never casually give away his little cotton-padded jacket (daughter).

Zhu Yanyi wasn't worried about her daughter's marriage. With Yan Aohan, the all-capable dad, there was no need to worry about boys bullying her daughter. Besides, her daughter was still in her belly, not even born yet.

Old Ghost smiled and then said, "I can go back and have another one."

"Forget it. When your son is born, he will still need my daughter to protect him. Are you not embarrassed? Besides, are you sure you can still have children?" Yan Aohan looked at Old Ghost with absolute suspicion.

Old Ghost paused again. He had never thought he would be questioned like this. He looked at Yan Aohan and said, "Just wait. I can definitely have another one. I'll go home and have my wife bear another one for me."

Hearing this, Yan Aohan said directly, "You man who doesn't care about your wife. I think your wife should make you kneel on a keyboard for a while."
