Chapter 221 - 221: Sect Master and Holy Maiden (2)
However, Gu Xinyue was an exception. She had been forcing a smile.
At this moment, she was indeed smiling, but her expression was gloomy, and there was no trace of joy in her eyes.
Even Jiu Ji, who had just arrived a month ago, was pregnant. However, she, who had been married to her husband for more than four years, was still barren.
This pair made her feel very uncomfortable.
However, at the thought of Shen Qingyi accompanying her, she felt much better.
Otherwise, she would probably be depressed if she was the only one among her sisters who did not give birth.
Shen Qingyi sensed Gu Xinyue’s abnormality and kept reminding herself that even if she wanted to give birth to her husband’s child, she had to do it after Yue’er.
Unknowingly, it was already five in the evening.
At seven in the evening, Chen An had to go to the Alchemy Hall to participate in the welcome party.
At that time, the Sect Master and the Holy Maiden of the Heaven Earth Sect would be present.
Chen An did not dare to make any mistakes at such an important gathering.
In the first half of the evening, he left the cave abode on his sword and flew towards the reception hall of the Alchemy Hall.
Before setting off, he instructed his wives and daughters to stay in the cave abode and not run around.
His wives assured him that they would wait for him at home obediently and decorate the cave abode at the same time.
Alchemy Hall, in the living room.
Chen An walked in unhurriedly and realized that he was the last to arrive among the five new deacons.
“Everyone’s here so early.”
He smiled and greeted the four of them.
Seeing him walk over, Deacon Lin, who was slightly plump, smiled and said,
“Deacon Chen, come and sit in front of me. This is a seat specially reserved for you.”
The front referred to the main seat at the front.
The four new deacons were very well-behaved and sat down strictly according to the ranking of the test.
Chen An did not feel much about this method of ranking seniors, but he would not deliberately object.
Soon, under the gazes of the four of them, he walked to that seat and sat down.
At this moment, only the five new deacons were in the living room.
The five of them had arrived too early.
There was still more than an hour before the agreed time.
“Everyone is here so early. It seems like they all want to leave a good impression on the Sect Master, the Holy Maiden, and Elder Chen.”
Deacon Zhang, whose hair and beard had turned white, smiled and said.
Deacon Huang, whose hair was white at the temples, also smiled and said, “After all, we’re new here. We naturally have to leave a good impression.”
“Deacon Huang is right.” Deacon He, who was as thin as a match, nodded.
The conversation between the deacons was very meaningless. They basically replied in one sentence or another.
However, it was actually understandable.
After all, they were not familiar with each other yet. It was impossible for them to chat happily the moment they arrived.
Everyone here was a Level 3 Alchemist. Before joining the Heaven Earth Sect, they were either the Old Masters of the Alchemy Families or some of the Alchemy Hall Elders of the Golden Core Sects.
Therefore, their words and actions were more well thought out. They would not be as easy to get along with as young people.
At this moment, Chen An was even quieter than them. He had not spoken since he sat down.
He had joined the Heaven Earth Sect only to provide a relatively safe environment for his wives and daughters. He had never thought of developing interpersonal relationships.
In fact, he even had to avoid developing a relationship with others and only wanted to be a hermit.
Seeing that he was silent, the four new deacons had no intention of talking to him.
Everyone was a Level 3 Alchemist and a big shot. No one would do such a cheap thing.
“I wonder what that Holy Maiden looks like.”
Chen An’s mind was filled with thoughts of this matter. He thought that as the Holy Maiden of the Heaven Earth Sect, her appearance would definitely be devastatingly beautiful. He was filled with anticipation.
As time passed, unknowingly, it was seven o’clock in the evening.
At this moment, there were only the five new deacons in the living room. No one else had arrived.
However, the five of them were very patient and did not show any impatience or annoyance.
This was because they all knew that only eight people would participate in tonight’s welcome party. In other words, only the Sect Master, the Holy Maiden, and Elder Li were absent.
These three people were big shots. It made sense for them to arrive late.
As newcomers, they had no reason to have any objections.
Unless he did not want to continue living in the Heaven Earth Sect in the future.
As for the 20 new disciples and apprentices, they were not qualified to participate in this welcome party.
It was true that the Sect Master of the Heaven Earth Sect valued the Alchemy Hall, but he only valued Alchemists above the deacon level.
“Elder Chen and the others are here.”
Chen An, who had been silent, suddenly reminded him.
He spread out his divine consciousness and sensed that Elder Chen was piloting the flying ship to fly towards the Alchemy Hall.
When the other four heard him say this, they immediately sat up straight, afraid that they would leave a bad impression on the three big shots who were about to arrive.
“Strange, why is Elder Li alone on the flying ship?”
Chen An was puzzled.
At this moment, his divine consciousness only sensed that Elder Li was on the flying ship. Other than that, there was no one else.
This didn’t make sense.
If there was no one on the flying ship, it was impossible for Elder Li to pilot the flying ship instead of flying on a sword.
Since Elder Li chose to drive the flying ship, he would definitely be the driver to fetch the Sect Master and the Holy Maiden.
The reason why he could not sense anyone with his divine consciousness was most likely because the Sect Master and the Holy Maiden had magical artifacts that could isolate divine consciousness.
Moreover, it was an extremely high-grade artifact.
It was at least a Level 5 artifact.
Otherwise, with the strength of my current divine consciousness, it’s impossible for me not to sense it..
