Soon, under Yu Ying’s lead, a few of them walked into the palace.
Inside the Green Cloud Palace, on several coiling dragon pillars, exquisitely carved lotus flowers adorned the pillars with lifelike detail.
There were all kinds of lotus flowers on the wall. Some were in full bloom, and some were in bud.
As Lin Chaoying approached the Green Cloud Palace, she detected a subtle scent of osmanthus wafting through the air. Her eyes followed the scent, and she spotted a snow-white wolf reclining beneath a vase not far from her.
The faint osmanthus fragrance came from the vase.
“My lord, everyone is here!”
Yu Ying said to the empty hall.
At the next moment, a figure appeared on the throne in the hall. “Greetings, my lord!”
“Greetings, Lord Green Lotus!”
When Guo Jing saw Mei Change, he revealed a respectful expression.
“Don’t need to stand on ceremony.”
Mei Changge smiled. He waved his hand and helped Guo Jing up. His gaze landed on the others.
“Dugu Qiubai, Wang Chongyang, Lin Chaoying, and Hong Qigong.”
Mei Changge looked at them and revealed a trace of curiosity.
It was obvious that Dugu Qiubai was a loner. As for Hong Qigong, he had seen him before and was not surprised.
As for Wang Chongyang and Lin Chaoying, he was curious about them.
“Aren’t the two of you husband and wife?”
Mei Changge looked at the two of them and asked.
“My lord, how can I be this guy’s wife?”
Upon hearing Mei Changge’s question, Lin Chaoying shot a glare at Wang Chongyang. In a swift motion, her figure darted away from Wang Chongyang, seemingly attempting to distance herself from him.
Wang Chongyang was also stunned. But when he saw Lin Chaoying’s actions, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
He thought that she didn’t need to have such a huge reaction.
Mei Changge raised his eyebrows slightly. But when he looked at Lin Chaoying’s appearance closely, he realized the difference in their ages.
However, Mei Changge did not care too much.
“I heard from Huang Yaoshi that you wanted to see me. What’s the matter?”
Mei Changge looked at them and asked with a calm expression.
Guo Jing turned to the side, his face expressionless.
“Lord Green Lotus, we’re here to ask if we can join the Green Lotus Territory like Old Heretic Huang?”
As this marked the second encounter between Hong Qigong and Mei Changge, the former took the initiative to speak. Furthermore, his disciple held the position of the Green-Robed Tower’s master, rendering him an insider within the Green Lotus Territory.
Of course, this was all his own thoughts.
“Join the Green Lotus Territory? Haven’t you already joined?”
Mei Changge reached out and pointed at the registry mark on their wrists. “Lord Green Lotus, I want to become stronger!”
“If you can make me stronger, I’m willing to eliminate all your enemies!” Dugu Qiubai took a step forward and said with a determined expression.
What he wanted was simpler and purer than others. He wanted to improve his swordsmanship and become stronger.
“Dugu Qiubai, the self-proclaimed Sword Devil who has never lost in the Great Song.”
Mei Changge looked at Dugu Qiubai and said thoughtfully.
“Your Nine Swords of Dugu is also famous in the Great Song. If you’re willing to join the Green Lotus Territory, I’ll naturally welcome you.”
Mei Changge was well aware of Dugu Qiubai’s exceptional talent. Whether it was the Nine Swords of Dugu or the sword technique that had resulted in Yang Guo losing his arm, they all served as a testament to Dugu Qiubai’s prowess.
“The Green Lotus Territory is about to open the Martial Arts Tower. Are you willing to enter and open a martial sect?”
Mei Changge paused and looked at Dugu Qiubai quietly.
On the way here, Guo Jing had already explained to them about the Martial Arts Tower.
The Martial Arts Tower was a department for the commoners. Moreover, it allowed martial artists to enter and open all kinds of martial sects.
Actually, it was still a sect in essence, but it belonged to the Green Lotus Territory alone.
The Martial Arts Tower was in charge of the martial arts sect, and the martial arts sect was a civil organization established by martial artists.
“My lord, I don’t have any disciples, and I’m not good at teaching!”
Dugu Qiubai still felt somewhat touched by Mei Changge’s offer to allow him to establish a martial sect within the Martial Arts Tower. Nevertheless, he understood that he might not be the most suitable candidate for founding a sect.
“What do you want then?”
Mei Changge thought for a moment. He had indeed never heard of Dugu Qiubai taking in a disciple.
“My lord, can I join the Martial Arts Tower and not establish a martial sect?”
Dugu Qiubai said bluntly.
“Hahaha, sure.”
Upon hearing this, Mei Changge nodded slightly. Instead of letting Dugu Qiubai take in disciples and establish a martial sect, it was indeed better to let him join the Martial Arts Tower.
“Are you guys willing to enter the Martial Arts Tower and open martial sects?”
Mei Changge looked at the others and asked.
Although it was a question, Mei Changge knew why they were there.
“Lord Green Lotus, I do!”
Wang Chongyang nodded, indicating that he was willing to join and enter the Martial Arts Tower to open a martial sect.
Hong Qigong nodded and expressed his willingness to join. As for Lin Chaoying, she frowned.
Lin Chaoying had established the Ancient Tomb Sect rather informally. If she were to join the Martial Arts Tower, she believed she would be obligated to accept disciples at such a young age.
However, she still nodded in the end.
“Alright, in that case, take these tour lotus flowers back and eat them. I look forward to you officially stepping into the Transcendent realm.”
Mei Changge saw that everyone nodded and was willing to join the Martial Arts Tower. Then, he tossed out four Resplendent Star Lotuses..
