Chapter 1413: Red Lotus Karmic Fire
Sage Donghua’s return gift far exceeded Qi Xuansu’s expectations. But at the same time, it made perfect sense.With Sage Donghua’s power and influence, obtaining the Xuan Jade would be easier for him than for Qi Xuansu. He simply had never needed it before. After all, neither Qi Jianyuan nor Yao Pei possessed a Longevity Stone Heart.
However, as Great Sage Jiang pointed out, Xuan Jade of such size was rare. Most of the easily obtainable pieces had already been secured by the Li family.
Sage Donghua certainly had not prepared this at the last minute. It must have been arranged in advance, most likely during Qi Xuansu’s time in the New Continent.
In other words, Sage Donghua was confident Qi Xuansu would agree to this apprenticeship, and indeed, he did.
This also confirmed the Fengtai County incident. Sage Donghua had not only contacted the Green Phoenix Guard Commander but had also sent people to search for the Xuan Jade.
Sage Donghua’s disciple ceremony drew massive attention. The Green Phoenix Guard, who feared they had offended him, monitored all developments closely. When Yun Luo learned that Sage Donghua had gifted Qi Xuansu two pieces of Xuan Jade, she let out a long sigh of relief. The lie they told Sage Qingwei had somehow become true.
This was sheer luck! Regardless, they no longer needed to worry. They could now report to Sage Qingwei that the Fengtai County thief was indeed connected to Sage Donghua.
What they still did not know was that the “thief” was actually the star of the ceremony, Qi Xuansu, who had now climbed steadily in the Daoist Order and was destined to become Li Changge’s greatest rival.
After the ceremony, the guests gradually departed.
Zhang Yuelu’s reforms had reached a critical stage, so she could not stay long and had to return immediately. Taking two days to attend was already difficult.
Zhang Juqi and Tantai Qiong, having rarely visited Jade Capital, intended to stay a few days. Qi Xuansu entrusted their arrangements to Chen Jianchou, as he had other matters to attend to.
