The arrival of the children from the Regal Lei Clan was something big that the whole town was informed by the leader. These are people from the Core Region and even though they tried to do things at lowkey, it is impossible for those who lead the town to ignore their presence. The town leader himself had come to the town’s biggest inn in search of the people from the Regal Lei Clan.

The leader of Azalea Town is an old man who is only in the Peak Mahayama realm called Lao Xu. After all, in the Immortal World only those at Peak Mahayama Realm and above can be considered real cultivators while those weaker than this realm can only be considered no different than ordinary people.

Town Master Xu arrived in the biggest inn looking for the esteemed guests of his place. The Inn owner and the staff of the place were all stunned by their leader’s arrival.

The owner of the inn at the reception area was stunned when he saw the town leader.

"T-Town Master?!" The Inn owner said, "Why are you here?"

The old man smiled wearing plain yet proper ancient robes. He walked with his hands on his back which is a bit hunched. Seeing that he had only reached Peak Mahayama realm at his age shows that he isn’t that much talented in cultivation and this is the farthest he can go. At least, a town master is better than a rogue cultivator who didn’t have a home.

Town Master Xu asked, "Have the guests from the Regal Lei Clan had checked-in in your inn?"

"Regal Lei Clan?! I don’t know. But there is a Peak Mahayama Realm cultivator leading a group of children and they were wearing a purple-white uniformed robes," the Inn owner said.

When the Town Master heard about that, his smile had widened and left a letter to the Inn owner with a key to the Inn Owner.

He said, "Then once the one in lead of the group appeared, can you pass this letter and key to them?"

"Yes, town master!" The inn owner said as he received the things from the old town master with great respect.

To him this is a hero who had been protecting this town for as long as they remember. Even though he is already so old, the people of this town respect this old man the most. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

After finishing what he had come for, the old town master had once again taken his leave and was about to return to their own place when suddenly he saw the familiar carriage of the Stargazing Tower’s owner, Pei Xiu. The carriage stops in front of the Stargazing Tower and the first one to come out is Pei Xiu. He didn’t leave right away and stretched out his hands, carrying the children down the carriage one by one and finally supporting a young lady covered in a veil going down from the carriage.

The old town master was watching the scene from a distance as this is something that wouldn’t happen everyday. After all, the owner of this tower didn’t have an ordinary background, he is from a clan from the Core Haven and also the number one source of information in this town.

"This is rare for the Esteemed Young Master of the Pei Clan to be this respectful," said the other old man standing beside the Town Master.

In a split second, Yue Xuexia noticed something staring at her and took a small glance in that direction. Her actions were minimal but graceful. When her eyes met the eyes of the old man in the distance, the old man seemed to be stunned but since she didn’t recognize the person she ignored him.

The Moon Goddess said, "Who is that old gentleman over there?"

Pei Xiu followed the direction the Moon Goddess was looking at and saw the town leader of this place. He lightly nods at the old man in greeting before answering Yue Xuexia’s question.

He said, "He is Lao Xu, the leader of this Azalea Town. He is actually a hero of his generation and if not for an old injury in his younger days, he wouldn’t be stuck in the Peak Mahayama Realm and can only lord over such a small town."

"I see. Let’s go. Have you prepared what I’ve asked of you?" Yue Xuexia asked.

Pei Xiu said, "Don’t worry! The information you need has all been prepared. It’s just that my father wanted to see you so he left home overnight and used an expensive and rare space stone just to come over here. Please forgive him for not seeing you at your place. After the space transfer his health had once again gotten bad."

"No problems. I don’t have anything to do today anyway," said the Moon Goddess.

Upon hearing this, Pei Xiu was delighted and said, "That’s good. This way please."

It was only then did their group enter the tower that the power around them had started talking about what happened the last time this lady had visited the Stargazing Tower. On the other hand, the old town master seems dumbfounded upon meeting Yue Xuexia’s eyes and seeing her veiled face. What lasted in his memory the most is that golden colored lotus imprint on her forehead. It matched his fleeting memories of that Exalted Empress who had forced the Immortal Star Emperor and the Great General of the Immortal Sun Empire to stop fighting. This golden lotus imprint matched the one he had seen on the forehead of the Moon Goddess who had saved the town that night.

The Town Master’s thoughts at this moment, "Is that her? But the features are different. Is she hiding her real appearance?"

Then they overheard some gossipers talking beside them. Some of these people seem to be among the few people who had witnessed what Yue Xuexia had done in the Stargazing Tower and how she had killed a person of the Thousand Vines Sect.

"You see that young lady?"

"Of course! How would I dare to forget! That’s one ruthless young lady."

"True. She killed someone and turned him into a pile of ashes with her lightning technique!"

"So scary. There wasn’t even a body left behind, just a pile of ashes that was swept away by a servant of the Stargazing Tower."

The old town master who was listening at the side said, "Are you guys talking about the young lady with the veil on?"

"Town Master!"

"Town Master, hello!"

"How is the Town Master doing today?"

After exchanging some greetings, the old town master received the answer he had been waiting for. He was actually not in town when Yue Xuexia killed someone on the Stargazing Tower.

"Town master, what happened was actually like this?"

"That cultivator from the Thousand Vines Sect was shameless. After seeing a sentient lotus flower spirit who can turn human, he wanted to take them away."

"He didn’t even care that they had a master and even grabbed one."

"Who would have thought that this veiled young lady was their owner. In anger she had killed the man on the spot."

"It was too scary~. That lightning is as fierce as tribulation lightning. No wonder that person turned into a pile of ashes."

"I heard even his soul was destroyed!"

"So scary. So scary~"

After getting the answer he wanted to hear, the town master excused himself and took his leave followed by his trusted aide, an old man like himself.

"What do you think?" The old town master asked his old aide.

The old aide responded, "This young lady isn’t simple. Since she had used lightning techniques she might be from the Regal Lei Clan."

"If she then there is no need to hide her face with an artifact," said the Old Town Master.

The old aide looked confused, "She is hiding her real appearance? But why?"

"Maybe her identity is much more noble than we thought," said the old town master. "Prepare something a young lady and children would love. Also, to find where the young lady lives, I want to visit her personally."

"Yes, Town Master!" The old aide responded.

Meanwhile at the Stargazing Tower’s highest floor.

With Pei Xiu as the guide, he had brought Yue Xuexia to his office while sending the children to play with his staff served with plenty of snacks and drinks.

"This room. Please enter," said Pei Xiu as he opened the door and let Yue Xuexia enter inside first.

Inside the room, in the inner area, a huge bed was placed and on it was a pale looking old man who was coughing and looked sickly. However, the rhythm of his heart beat shows that he is not a dying old man just a bit not feeling well. It seems that Pei Xiu had given those two longevity pills and let this old man eat them. Beside the bed is a man with a similar face as Pei Xiu, just a bit older than him, more calm and more mature. This might be Pei Xiu’s older brother.

Upon seeing their arrival, this older brother only glanced their way and whispered something to the middle aged man on the bed.

"Father, they are here."
