Great Saint No Ah had suddenly interrupted Ji Yuan's moments with his maidens as he said aloud. "We can start the banquet now."
Indeed, there were many attendants that walked in with trays after trays of rich spiritual foods and drinks as they carefully laid it on the table of the dozens of guests in the great hall.
Now that the banquet had started, it was time for Ji Yuan to return his attention to the Great Saint No Ah.
Great Saint No Ah raised his cup to toast Ji Yuan, "Great Saint Ji Yuan, let me toast to you first."
Ji Yuan laughed jovially as he happily raised his cup, "Thank you, thank you. The same goes to Great Saint No Ah too!"
He then asked, "Great Saint No Ah, so we can talk and you will help us, right?"
Great Saint No Ah nodded, "Indeed we can talk now…"
Ji Yuan was greatly delighted when he had heard the Great Saint No Ah as he wanted to obtain information from the Great Ark Cultivation Sect on the current situation. He was not worried about finding his way to the Holy Oracle Sect now that he had his senior sister the Smiling Divine Maiden Chu Lixue with him here.
Then the Great Saint No Ah turned to look at Tang Manni, "Divine Consort Tang Manni, I wonder how your mother consort is doing?"
Tang Manni: ???
Ji Yuan: ???!!!
Little Princess, Xu Yifei, Little Jie'Er, Zhi Jiugong, the Lovely Empress, the Smiling Divine Maiden: ???
Tang Manni was caught by surprise when she was being asked by the Great Saint No Ah from out of the blue and she replied coldly, "She is in the Greater Spirit Immortal Realm now. But if you are thinking of asking her for my hand, you can forget about it. My heart belongs to Master Ji Yuan now!"
She could see that Ji Yuan had an unhappy look and it was only because he was cursing this Great Saint No Ah in his heart: You old toad! You are old enough to be her father!
Great Saint No Ah sighed softly, "Is that so. It is good…"
Then he turned to ask Xu Yifei, "Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei, how about your mother consort? Is she still well?"
Xu Yifei answered nonchalantly, "My mother consort has long passed away. It is the Divine Consort Tang that had raised me along with my Sister Divine Consort Tang Manni…"
Ji Yuan had suddenly slammed the table with his hand and this startled everyone in the great hall, including his own maidens.
"Great Saint No Ah, Xu Yifei is also my maiden! We are here to ask you for more information about the Evil Cultivation Palace in the Endless Celestial Fraternity. If you are thinking that you can obtain my maidens in exchange for your aid, you can forget about it."
Actually it was not just Ji Yuan that was thinking the same; Great Saint No Ah's three sons, No Jap, No Shen and No Hai were all thinking the same thing. Even his elders were also thinking the same too. After all, Tang Manni and Xu Yifei were both very alluring maidens and they were also exotic looking too.
So it was not surprising to them that Great Saint No Ah may be thinking of having them to satisfy his own exotic dreams.
Great Saint No Ah appeared to be startled by Ji Yuan's outburst as he quickly said, "I just feel that they are Spiritas from the other heavenly realm and that is why I am asking out of curiosity."
Ji Yuan hummed coldly, "This has better to be the case or I won't be polite to you."
This was an open threat!
No Jap had stood up immediately, "Insolent! Do you dare to repeat yourself again?!"
Even No Shen had stood up as this was the best time for them to gain the favor of their father so that they could obtain the best portions of their inheritances from their father.
No Hai had hesitated to stand up to rebuke Ji Yuan because Ji Yuan was not only his guest but also his Brother Ji Yuan. But he looked quite awkward though when his two brothers were confronting Ji Yuan for his rudeness.
Even many of the elders were shaking their fists furiously to protest against Ji Yuan's rudeness as they were trying to score points with their sect leader.
Great Saint No Ah quickly shouted angrily, "Everyone, calm down! And get back to your seats!"
Then he said politely to Ji Yuan, "Please pardon me if there are any misunderstanding between us…"
No Hai, No Shen, No Hai and many of the elders were startled because their sect leader was a hot-tempered person and he was actually speaking in a polite manner with Ji Yuan.
When Ji Yuan saw that Great Saint No Ah was politely asking him to calm down, he began to calm down a little too.
Great Saint No Ah had suddenly waved a golden bell in front of Xu Yifei and a jade ring in front of Tang Manni, "Please consider this as my gifts to the two of you for my insensitiveness."
When the golden bell and the jade ring were flashed, his sons and the elders were all stunned; it was because these two profound treasures were the inheritance treasure of their Great Ark Cultivation Sect and it was only given to the future cultivation sect leaders!
"The Indomitable Golden Bell of Light…"
"The Ark Ring of Profound Light…"
Ji Yuan was also stunned, "Saint-step profound treasures? Great Saint No Ah, you are indeed generous…"
Tang Manni shook her head, "This is too valuable for me to take it."
Xu Yifei was also shaking her head, "I don't think we ought to take it just like this too."
Great Saint No Ah said firmly, "Please accept it. It is just a small token from me. Don't worry."
When he had said that these two profound treasures were merely a small token, his sons and many of the elders were all feeling a terrible heartache as these profound treasures were something that they had been coveting in their hearts.
Ji Yuan said to Xu Yifei and Tang Manni, "Since Great Saint No Ah wants the two of you to keep it, please take it or we are the ones that are being impolite for not accepting it."
He was thinking: If you don't want it, maybe you can give it to me later…
Anyang was muttering his Ji Yuan's soul sea: Our lord is too greedy. Is he even a cultivation MC?
Xiang Li giggled: Cultivation MCs are all greedy. They go to places to find profound treasures.
Anyang said weakly: He is thinking of obtaining profound treasures from his maidens. The last time, he was even thinking of asking Yun Chi for 1% of all her profound treasures that she got from the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth.
Ji Yuan pretended not to hear Anyang because it was precisely what he was thinking.
Xu Yifei and Tang Manni nodded, "Alright then."
Since Ji Yuan had told them to take it, they would take it.
It was not because they wanted it but if Ji Yuan asked them to go left, they would never go right.
