Five hundred years later.
A large banquet was held in Heaven. Celestial Concubine Yingzhao invited all the higher-ups from the Four Seas and Three Lands to the Sky Palace to celebrate his birthday. Ever since being crowned Celestial Concubine, Yingzhao became the only woman standing by the side of Heaven Emperor Dongfang Yue.
That makes him so respected. There were not many deities associated with him because of his strange and jealous temperament.
She was respected because she was the only woman belonging to Dongfang Yue, not because she had such a lofty mind. Sitting in a noble chair for hundreds of years made Yingzhao feel like he was a Tian Hou, even though the position was always empty.
Dongfang Yue never cared about it. Dongfang Yue had always been cold-hearted and had never noticed him.
In addition to the affairs of the Four Seas and the Three Lands, all that is in his daily life is to travel to several places, looking for his lost student.
People say, the one loved by the Celestial Emperor was A-Xian, his student who was a wine fairy. The existence of the Celestial Concubine was merely a formality in honor of Emperor Xuan Yi who had not long ago evolved, considering that the woman was being given to him sincerely.
Bai Feng Xian left reluctantly after his father told him to represent Qingqiu. The relationship between Qingqiu Kingdom and the Sky Kingdom had always been good in these thousands of years.
Although she did not know Celestial Concubine Yingzhao, but since the invitation had already been accepted, it would not feel good if it did not come.
He came with Ming Ye. The gods who knew Ming Ye crowded around and talked to him for a long time. Basically, Bai Feng Xian did not particularly like the crowd.
He managed to pull Ming Ye away with him after persuading him three days and three nights, but the Great God was instead instantly snatched away by someone else. He got away from the crowd, then walked carelessly without paying attention to the direction.
Bai Feng Xian was mesmerized by the splendor of the Sky Palace built on these clouds. The crystals of the Four Seas and the Three Lands were encrusted in such a way as to form glistening columns and floors.
Strange, he thought. He had heard the story if the Sky Concubine's eyes were troubled and could not see the bright light. It was in stark contrast to the condition of this all-glistening palace.
The gardens are decorated with heavenly flowers that bloom all year round. There is always a pendopo covered with a silver roof that can be used to rest or relax.
The stairs were made of layers of rock formed from spiritual clouds, making anyone who stepped on them seem to be floating in the air.
Bai Feng Xian could feel all his splendor, yet this place was like death. In his mind, Qingqiu felt even more lively. The green meadows and dense forest were much more charming than the crystal palace which was filled with spiritual aura yet looked extremely cold.
“I've heard that Celestial Concubine Yingzhao is very tall-hearted and big-headed. Many fairy maids in her palace who gave up and begged to be moved to another palace after a few days of work.”
Bai Feng Xian hid behind a tree as some immortal people passed by while talking about the Celestial Concubine. Their clothes were like low-level god clothes that had just ascended into the sky. Hearing such gossip, Bai Feng Xian could not help but eavesdrop.
“No wonder. Nearly a thousand years more, he stood firmly in the Heavenly Emperor's harem. But, have you heard that the Celestial Emperor has never even glanced at him?” say one of them.
“Well, at least since the Emperor lost his disciple five hundred years ago. Reportedly, he was still looking for her and continued to hold the silky white head knot left behind after his disciple jumped into the God Killing Well. I heard, the Celestial Concubine framed him and the Emperor was furious.”
During his twenty thousand years of life, it was only this time that Bai Feng Xian heard this kind of joke. So, the Heavenly Emperor, the majestic Dongfang Yue was heartbroken from losing his disciple?
People seem to be tricked by a woman, too? Oh, this joke really doesn't make sense.
One of the two immortals dropped a gift box that was about to be presented to the ground. Thousands of years of ice crystals from the East Sea broke apart and fragments scattered on the ground.
The faces of the two men panicked. This was the Celestial Concubine of the Eastern Sea's birthday present that the Eastern Sea King had assigned to them.
“Friends, what are you worried about?”
Bai Feng Xian appeared from behind the tree with a calm expression. Seeing someone appear, the two immortals stared suspiciously.
They assumed that this woman had eavesdropped on their conversation, and their hearts became unhappy. Bai Feng Xian only wanted to say hello, but seeing his reaction, it didn't seem like a good thing.
Bai Feng Xian was honest and open. He replied, “Everything.”
The faces of the two immortals became ugly. The Sky Palace was so vast, they were already looking for the quietest place to talk.
I don't think there are still people eavesdropping. The woman in front of him was plain-clothed, they had thought that Bai Feng Xian must be just an immortal servant accompanying his master to the banquet.
Two heavenly guards were patrolling. The two immortals instantly spilled the blame onto Bai Feng Xian and slandered him. Their voices were intentionally hardened for the two heavenly guards to hear them.
“Supply! How dare you destroy the Celestial Concubine gift!”
Bai Feng Xian's forehead frowned. These young gods who were no more than five thousand years old were so good at changing the situation.
"Me?"
Bai Feng Xian was used to confining himself, he did not know much of the situation outside. Other than Qingqiu, the only place he frequented was Ming Ye's Mirror Lake.
Two heavenly guards approached. Without a second thought, they dragged Bai Feng Xian along and had the two immortals follow him to ask for justice.
In Tianzong Hall, all the invited guests had been seated in their respective places. The dishes began to be served, the music began to be performed and the dance began to be performed.
The music stopped as two heavenly guards dragged Bai Feng Xian into the center of the hall. The confused Ming Ye looked for the woman, sighing. No matter what problem he had made, he was completely unsettled.
On the side of the throne, Yingzhao stared with a frowned at the modestly dressed woman in the middle of the hall. Her face looked familiar, yet Yingzhao knew that the woman was not someone five hundred years ago.
The two immortals arrived more slowly.
“Niang-niang, this lady dropped an ice crystal from the East Sea. That thing is a gift to you. Please Concubine Heaven uphold justice for us.”
Bai Feng Xian sighed, salute with this two immortal tongue-shinting ability. He already remembered it: The King of the East Sea. Bai Feng Xian was still speechless and acting calm, waiting for Yingzhao's reaction.
The gods in the hall looked at him strangely, some even sneering. Other than Ming Ye, the others seemed to be not worried at all.
“Little goddess, who is your master?” ask Yingzhao.
“I don't have a master.”
The two heavenly guards forced him to kneel down for being disrespectful to the Celestial Concubine. Bai Feng Xian questioned what the etiquette of young gods was like today.
They don't even know who he is. Just because of the bollocks of the two immortals, he was suddenly charged as a suspect.
The rules of Heaven are funny. Bai Feng Xian deliberately kept quiet to see what kind of drama show in the Sky Palace he said upheld this justice.
Ming Ye stared in silence, resigned to something his best friend's daughter would do. In the past five hundred years, this was the first time Bai Feng Xian had walked out of Qingqiu.
“Supply! Who are you to dare to act disrespectfully before the Sky Concubine?” the eternal words that slandered him.
“Bai Feng Xian from Qingqiu.”
“Bai Feng Xian from Qingqiu? You're Emperor Bai Yin's daughter?” ask the Sky Concubine.
Bai Feng Xian nodded lightly. Unexpectedly, it was this easy as he revealed his identity. He glanced at the two immortals that were behind, and saw their faces turning green, then becoming extremely pale.
