Qihe pointed ahead happily, "Hey, we've reached the South Gate of Heaven!"
Several people landed on the clouds as if they were walking on flat ground. The immortals around them came and went, chatting and talking to each other. It was said that there were thousands of immortals invited, plus the entertaining fairy children and fairy maidens... It was noisy and noisy. Mu Lin frowned imperceptibly, feeling a little irritated.
Immortal Lord Luochen also came on a crane. When he saw Master and Disciple Zhechuan, he hurried over. He looked closely and said in surprise, "Hey, Princess Qihe is here too? You sneaked out again. Go back to Nianyi Palace quickly. Empress Lingfei will send someone to look for you soon..."
As he was speaking, the anxious voice of the fairy in the light green palace skirt came over: "Third Princess... Third Princess, where are you?"
Princess Qihe blushed and hurriedly bowed to them: "Please don't blame me, Master Zhechuan, please don't blame me, Sister Mulin, Qihe will go back first and apologize to you another day..." Then she hurriedly pulled the green-skirted maid away.
Mu Lin: “…”
Immortal Lord Luochen laughed and shook his head: "Princess Qihe is the youngest daughter of the Immortal Emperor. She has a very lively personality and likes beautiful women. Mu Lin dressed up beautifully today, so she must have attracted her attention."
Mu Lin was speechless: "How does the Immortal Lord know Princess Qihe so well?"
Luochen Xianjun choked. It couldn't be said that the two of them were top gossip lovers and often exchanged experiences...
Master Orikawa actually explained this to Mu Lin.
Luochen Xianjun laughed and sighed: "Normally, I don't take anything I tell you seriously, but you remembered it when I just mentioned it. Zhechuan, Zhechuan, what can I say about you..."
Orikawa looked at him calmly: "Silence is golden."
"You two, master and disciple, are both annoying!"
Mu Lin smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Immortal Lord."
"Hey, hey, Master Orikawa is here too. It's been a while since we last met. How are you?"
"This must be your disciple, he has achieved the Golden Immortal at such a young age, his talent... is even better than his teacher!"
Master and disciple Zhechuan were suddenly surrounded by fellow immortals, who looked at them as if they were looking at some rare treasure. Zhechuan was able to handle it calmly with a calm face, but Mu Lin was a little stunned, obviously he had never seen such a scene before.
Immortal Lord Luochen secretly laughed, hiding in the crowd and watching the excitement for a while. When his fairy maiden support group arrived, he had already sneaked away. He didn't want to be watched like a monkey. After experiencing this treatment several times, it was really boring.
By the time Master and Disciple Zhechuan escaped from their predicament, the Peach Banquet was about to begin. Most of the immortals had already taken their seats, but the master and disciple came in one after the other, still attracting countless surprised looks.
The master and disciple sat separately, with Master Zhechuan's seat near the front, while Mu Lin and Fairy Nan Shu sat next to each other.
Master Zhechuan sent his disciple over first, and greeted the beautiful lady who was wearing a light green fairy dress and a flying fairy bun, hoping that she would help take care of his disciple.
The beauty's eyebrows and eyes were delicate and heroic, and there was a sense of elegance in her every move. The beauty smiled and stretched out two white jade fingers. When Zhechuan nodded, her smile deepened and she readily agreed.
"Senior Nan Shu is polite, you can just call me Mu Lin."
"Little Mulin, your master just promised me two baskets of fairy fruit and asked me to look after you. You are a famous person in our fairy world. I have heard of you before I have even met you. How do you feel about being a disciple of Zhechuan?"
"There is nothing wrong with Master."
Nan Shu lazily supported her chin with her hands, revealing a lotus-like jade arm under her wide sleeves. It was a bit boring to talk to this little girl, she always kept everything secret.
"Just speak casually. It's true that your master and I are good friends, but we don't care about seniority. You are good-looking, and now we are also good friends. There is no need for us to restrict each other. Just call me Sister Nan Shu."
Mu Lin was not a fussy person, and couldn't help but smile when she heard Nan Shu teasing her: "Sister Nan Shu, you are judging people by appearance. What if I am a bad person? Sister, you are making the wrong friends."
Nan Shu became more interested and waved her hand boldly: "No, I have always had a good eye for choosing people... I'll tell you what's delicious and what's not delicious later!"
Mu Lin was no longer polite and smiled sweetly, "Then I'll trouble Sister Nan Shu."
Mu Lin looked around, matching the rumors he had heard in his mind with the immortals present one by one.
Fairy Huiyue, who is more handsome than any man, and Fairy Lingyue, who is petite and exceptionally pretty, next to her, their master, the immortal Pingyu.
The eldest princess, who was sitting very close to the front, was noble and cold; her husband, Dongting Zhenren, did not look outstanding among the immortals, but he had a unique calm and silent temperament.
"Oh, this year Luo Chen is next to Lian You Xian Jun again, a man and a woman, both equally beautiful and stunning..." Fairy Nan Shu murmured. Mu Lin followed her gaze and agreed with what she said.
The beautiful and charming, unique-tempered Lianyou Immortal Lord and the feminine, gorgeous Luochen Immortal Lord sat next to each other. Both of them were wearing purple clothes, one dark and one light, and they were both beautiful beauties with similar fairy-like appearance and aura. Mu Lin couldn't tell which one was more attractive.
A line of sight in the distance was fixed on her, almost becoming physical. Mu Lin looked over with a sense of something, and met Ao Xin's light golden vertical pupils.
Wow, this kid has grown up a little. The baby fat is gone and he has become a sunny and proud thin boy. Wow, the dragon clan has really good genes.
Mu Lin smiled at him slowly, his smile was pure and gentle, but Ao Xin sensed a hint of provocation and could not help but narrow his eyes.
My hands are itching, I'll have another fight after the Peach Festival is over.
At this time, Master Zhechuan also looked over, his eyes as indifferent as water, which made Ao Xin feel a little guilty for some reason. He snorted and turned his eyes away.
The Second Prince Feng Ling arrived late. When he saw Zhechuan, his face couldn't help but stiffen. He walked over and greeted Mu Lin first, smiling and polite, without any grudge.
Mu Lin also smiled at him politely and handled the situation flawlessly, without showing any sign of closeness or distance.
A trace of surprise flashed across Feng Ling's eyes. She could actually speak. Then what about him before...
The fairies secretly thought that the Second Prince had no grudge against the female fairy who caused him to be beaten. He was indeed well-educated and had a royal demeanor.
Some people who like to gossip speculated that maybe the Second Prince came over to say hello, maybe he still likes this Yingzhou female fairy? This Yingzhou woman is not simple either, she is not polite to the Second Prince, and has the character of her master, Zhenren Zhechuan.
"His Majesty the Immortal Emperor has arrived!"
"The Fairy Queen has arrived!"
The Immortal Emperor and the Immortal Queen arrived with extraordinary momentum, immortal music played, singing and dancing prevailed, creating a prosperous scene.
Mu Lin's gaze shifted away from the stunningly dancing Fairy Chang'e, and looked towards the lofty and noble Immortal Emperor from afar, then quickly shifted away calmly.
After a hundred years of spiritual training, Mu Lin was able to maintain a calm appearance even with deep hatred and burning blood.
The Immortal Emperor only said a few words, and the Immortal Queen took charge of the situation. The immortals sitting on Mu Lin's side were far away from the Emperor and the Queen. Most of them ate while listening and chatting with the people around them. Mu Lin and the others were no exception.
Mu Lin was whispering to Fairy Nan Shu: "Why didn't I see Princess Qihe?"
"I guess he was pretending to be a fairy boy and making trouble, so the Fairy Queen ordered him to stay at home."
“Is that so…” Qihe must be feeling uncomfortable and depressed being confined to such a grand event.
Fairy Nan Shu saw it clearly, "The Fairy Queen cannot tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes. Qi He is favored by the Fairy Emperor and is always getting into trouble. Who else should we punish if not her?"
"Sister Nan Shu, I don't quite understand what you mean."
"Oh, I forgot, Mu Lin, you are new here and don't understand some things. The rules in this broken fairyland are strict, and there are differences between legitimate and illegitimate children. Sometimes it's really annoying. Qihe is the daughter of the Concubine Ling and the Fairy Emperor, and she is a concubine princess. Naturally, the Fairy Queen doesn't like her."
Mu Lin was a little confused. This matter broke her understanding. "Wait, in addition to the Immortal Queen as his wife, the Immortal Emperor also has concubines?"
"Yes, the Immortal Emperor has more than a dozen Immortal Consorts, but it is difficult to have offspring in the Immortal Realm. Apart from the Immortal Queen, the only one who has offspring is the Spirit Consort."
Mu Lin understood a little, "He married so many wives and concubines in order to continue his offspring?"
"Well... not entirely," Fairy Nan Shu organized her words, "There are so many books in Yingzhou. Have you read the records about the emperors of the human world?"
Mu Lin nodded.
"The emperor has three palaces and six courtyards, and three thousand beauties in the harem. One is to continue his offspring, the second is to balance the political forces of all parties, and the third is to satisfy his own desires... Do you understand?"
Mu Lin nodded and commented: "It is not the scarcity that is worrying, but the inequality. People's greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant."
Mu Lin felt that it was better for a couple to be together for life like his father did. Matters of the heart are complicated to begin with, and become even more complicated when there are more people involved.
Fairy Nan Shu chuckled and found Mu Lin adorable.
"Will Xiao Mulin get married in the future? What kind of male immortal do you want to marry?"
Mu Lin was stunned, and chuckled: "I haven't thought about it... I probably won't get married."
The path she believed in was too narrow and could only accommodate her alone.
"If you want to get married, come find me and I'll be your matchmaker!"
"… good."
At this time, the fairy on the other side knocked on her table. Mu Lin looked over in confusion and found that her face looked a little strange. She followed her gaze and looked forward, and happened to meet the eyes of the Fairy Queen - it turned out that the Fairy Queen was looking at her with anger rising in her eyes, and her graceful smile was a little stiff.
The Immortal Emperor left the scene at some point, and the immortals felt much more relaxed. Almost everyone's eyes were wandering between the Immortal Queen and Mu Lin. The whole place was very quiet, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Mu Lin's face was also a little stiff, and he didn't understand what was going on. At this time, Master Zhechuan stood up and calmly refused without question: "Thank you for your kindness, Queen Fairy. Mu Lin is very young, so I won't consider marriage for the time being."
"It would be great to arrange a marriage early, such as when Mu Lin grows up a little. Mu Lin, don't you think so?" The Fairy Queen raised her eyebrows and looked at her, her eyes full of majesty.
Mu Lin looked straight at her and replied calmly: "The great path has not yet been achieved, why are you distracted? I am not interested in this matter, I hope the Queen Immortal will forgive me."
The Fairy Queen did not expect to be rejected mercilessly by the master and disciple at the same time. She was almost embarrassed and gritted her teeth and said, "It is very common for couples to be together in the fairy world. How can it affect the Great Dao? Mu Lin, you have to think carefully. I have good intentions. The Great Dao is long and lonely. Isn't it good for Feng Ling to accompany you?"
"I only wish to be with one person for the rest of my life, and to be loyal to my future partner. I am shallow and dull, and I am not worthy of the Second Prince. I hope the Queen of Immortals will give up this idea."
