"Is she the Saintess of Purple Sun?"

"Compared to her, our sect's most beautiful senior sister is nothing."

"I feel like I'm in love again."

"Me too."

"What do you think of Saint Ziyang's piano playing?"

"Does this need to be said?"

Bai Qianqian's piano playing successfully stirred the emotions of almost everyone, pulling them into the ocean of music and taking them on a free and enjoyable journey.

After the piano music ended, everyone was left wanting more. Time had flown so quickly, how could it have been over so quickly? Why couldn't it have gone slower, allowing them to listen a little longer?

“Pah pah pah pah!~”

At first the applause was sparse, but soon many people realized as if they had just woken up from a dream that the piano music had ended, and they gave their applause without hesitation.

Then there was thunderous and endless applause like a tide.

Even those who had not been influenced by the Twelve Beauty before applauded her.

The applause lasted for a long time, and many people's palms turned red from clapping, but they didn't stop.

If the Twelve Beauties had nearly 90% of the crowd cheering, then Bai Qianqian's piano music conquered almost everyone. Everyone present who could still breathe was captivated by her and responded with enthusiastic applause.

"I said Qianqian is definitely better than those Twelve Lily Shadows." Mu Wanyi also clapped her hands.

When she accepted Bai Qianqian as her disciple and was choosing a future path for her disciple, she originally planned to let Qianqian learn swordsmanship.

However, Qianqian did not agree, but stubbornly chose Le Xiuyi.

Even if Mu Wanyi had agreed with her beforehand, if she chose this path, her master wouldn't be able to give her much guidance. She would likely have to learn on her own, even though the Holy Land had no shortage of inheritance in this area.

Because her mother was an oiran, Bai Qianqian spent almost the rest of her life surrounded by various musical instruments.

Probably out of her longing for her mother, she persisted in the path of music and became a music practitioner after going through hardships.

Zhao Kangping's eyes fell on the zither, which was the one he had given as a gift.

It seems that Junior Brother Bai has completely resolved his worries about me, and those misunderstandings from the past should be wiped out.

"Look at the people present, including the sect leaders, they are all applauding her. The Twelve Beautiful Figures from before were unable to influence these masters."

"The applause is still going on. The result is obvious."

Zhao Kangping remembered that the audience's applause for Twelve Beautiful Films only lasted for a moment, but now the applause was so enthusiastic and lasted for a long time.

It seems that everyone still has the ability to appreciate music.

Beauty may deceive people's eyes, but it may not necessarily deceive people's hearts.

Truly good music can touch the deepest part of the soul.

Bai Qianqian stood up on the stage and bowed slightly to the audience below and to the audience seats on one side.

"Sorry for the poor performance." The girl smiled and said goodbye to everyone amid the applause.

Then she rode the wind away again and disappeared into the night.

She brought the atmosphere of the entire venue to a climax, allowing everyone to recognize this amazingly talented saint of the holy land.

Those who know the business can tell that she is a Le Xiu.

There are not many music practitioners in the world, but she is definitely one of the most talented.

As long as she doesn't die halfway, she will definitely have a place in the future world of immortal cultivation.

Many of the veterans here are looking forward to seeing her rise as a new star.

Bai Qianqian's performance was very wonderful, and she has many more programs to come.

However, after watching her performance, everyone else lost confidence. No matter how hard they tried, it would be difficult for them to reach the level of Saint White.

What followed was a group lion dance performance, with a total of twenty groups of people dancing the lion dance.

Although these people performed the lion dance very hard, after listening to Bai Qianqian's piano playing, everyone lost interest in it.

"I thought her show could be put at the end as the finale, why is it put in the middle?" Mu Wanyi asked in confusion.

Zhao Kangping: "Liu Fucai had already arranged the program sequence, and she just came in midway. The finale program had already been decided, and this was the result of negotiation."

Obviously, Bai Qianqian did not demonstrate the piano music to the other party when she was discussing with him, otherwise Liu Fucai would have agreed to let her be the finale.

The Twelve Beauty did not leave this Moonlight Realm after the performance. They returned to the Miaoyin Sect's seat in the audience.

Before Bai Qianqian went on stage, some disciples from other sects or families came to ask them for autographs, or some of the bolder ones directly invited them out on a date.

However, after Bai Qianqian finished her performance, those who had been pestering them dispersed and never came to disturb them again.

Especially the Rose Fairy who was in the lead, her face turned green with anger.

She was outdone.

"Saint Zi Yang, right? I'm also a saint, so why am I not as good as you? I'll remember this." The Rose Fairy looked deeply at the direction where Bai Qianqian left.

Chapter 352: Breaking Through

There are about hundreds of guests from major sects, families or other forces this time.

At the end of the city lord's succession ceremony, the city lord will host a banquet for the guests in the evening.

Due to the previous turmoil caused by the monster in the east district, which caused great damage, there are currently no high-end restaurants in the city that can accommodate so many guests at the same time.

But this is not a problem. Liu Fucai from the Qianshang Alliance has come up with a solution.

They transferred a giant flying boat in the shape of a tower ship from Fuxian City.

Hosting such a large banquet is one of the functions of this ship. The banquet hall inside can accommodate more than three times the number of guests.

To prepare this banquet, the organizers even invited a renowned spiritual chef from the Eastern Region to personally oversee the dishes. The banquet featured a variety of delicacies, including monster meat dishes and spiritual fruits and wines.

This banquet was not only a celebration of Zhao Kangping becoming the Lord of Chuanliu City. It was also a place for many sects and families to discuss cooperation, for some young people to expand their social circles, and for old friends who had not seen each other for many years to reunite and reminisce.

Before the banquet began, Senior Sister and Junior Brother Bai left. They both had important matters to attend to, and it was quite difficult for them to find time to attend his succession ceremony.

As a person in the Spirit Transformation Stage, he had very good hearing. In the huge banquet hall, he heard many young talents discussing the Purple Yang Saintess Bai Qianqian.

After confirming that Saint Bai did not attend the dinner, some young disciples felt deeply regretful.

Many people here want to get to know the new saint of this holy land.

However, this idea ultimately came to nothing.

However, Zhao Kangping thought this was a good thing. When his senior sister was around, he felt a little stressed.

Especially some male cultivators of his generation, those who were still single, looked at him with unfriendly eyes.

When senior sister was not around, the unfriendly look disappeared.

As the host at the banquet, City Lord Zhao Kangping naturally sat at the head table.

In the past, the table of the city lords was always occupied by the city lord himself, his wives, concubines, and children. However, Zhao Kangping was not formally married or in a relationship, and he had no children, only apprentices.

But even if Luo Xueqing and Zhao Mengyao sat with him, they couldn't even make up a table.

Dongfang Jingrou, Wan Baiyi, and Nangong Ruyun then joined him at his table. However, there weren't enough people, so Aunt Yun called her junior sister and several other Xianyun Sect disciples to join them.

This arrangement attracted the attention of many guests present.

"Strange, why is the former leader of Xianyun Sect, Nangong Ruyun, sitting at the same table with the City Lord?"

"Could it be that the Ziyang Holy Land is going to cooperate with the Xianyun Sect?"

The relationship between Zi Yang Holy Land and Xian Yun Sect was quite good earlier, but the two forces were quite far apart, so it could not be said that they had any close exchanges.

Almost no one knew the relationship between Zhao Kangping and Nangong Ruyun, so they mistakenly thought that the Ziyang Holy Land behind Chuanliu City had some arrangements.

"City Lord Zhao is completely different from when he was a child." The person who spoke was Qi Honglian, the current city lord of Xianyun Sect.

It has been mentioned before that after Zhao Kangping's parents passed away, he was taken in by Aunt Yun in the Xianyun Sect.

I stayed there for more than half a year, probably more than seven months. In fact, at the beginning, Aunt Yun kept it a secret from the people in the sect.

After all, Xianyun Sect is a sect for female cultivators, and everyone from the sect leader to the lowest-level servants are women.

Apart from Aunt Yun, the first person to discover the boy Zhao Kangping was Qi Honglian.

She and Auntie Yun were from the same master, so they had a good relationship. Because of this relationship, Qi Honglian helped Auntie Yun conceal the truth for a while.

Unfortunately, the truth cannot be hidden, and as a boy, he was still discovered.

Aunt Yun was also punished by the sect for hiding this boy.

This is how the story of him being brought to the Zi Yang Holy Land by Aunt Yun came about.

"Master Qi." Zhao Kangping smiled at the woman.

However, Qi Honglian smiled slightly and said, "I remember that everyone called me Aunt Lian back then. Alas, we've become strangers after all."

She said these words in a joking tone.

However, Zhao Kangping looked a little embarrassed.

When he thought about it carefully, it was true.

But he hadn't had any contact with this aunt for a long time and really had no feelings for her.

Suddenly, Qi Honglian's expression changed and she looked at Nangong Ruyun beside her.

It turned out that the latter stepped on her foot, as if to remind her not to talk nonsense.

"Eat some food," Nangong Ruyun said carelessly, putting several mouthfuls of food into Qi Honglian's bowl. She probably meant to use the food to shut Qi Honglian up.

If she guessed correctly, Qi Honglian would probably mention some embarrassing things that happened to Zhao Kangping as a child, or say that she had held Zhao Kangping in her arms when he was still a child.

It would be better for the junior sister not to add to the drama. She asked the junior sister to come over just to make up the number, not to give them a chance to reminisce.

Qi Honglian had been with Nangong Ruyun for hundreds of years, so she immediately understood what the other party meant.

So she stopped talking about Zhao Kangping.

But Qi Honglian is a chatterbox. When she has nothing to do, she likes to chat with others, which makes her feel suffocated.

If we can't talk about Zhao Kangping, let's talk about something else.

"Lu Qing, you see there are many young talents from other sects at this banquet. Do you have anyone you like?" Qi Honglian glanced into the banquet hall and said suddenly.

Xianyun Sect is a sect for female cultivators, but romance is not prohibited within the sect. However, if a woman marries out of the sect, she must resign from all her positions within the sect and be placed under certain restrictions. This prevents her from revealing the sect's secrets.

This has led to a flourishing atmosphere within the Xianyun Sect. Many disciples no longer seek companions from outside, and many choose to find their own companions within the sect.

Many people may say that this is a waste of resources and that lilies cannot give birth to children.

However, in the extraordinary world of immortal cultivation, women can actually give birth to offspring, although it may not be the traditional way of reproduction.

Qi Honglian actually asked her disciple if she had a man she liked.

Zheng Luqing was a little slow to react. She was stunned for about three or four seconds and then looked at her master in confusion.

Master, are you just trying to make small talk again?

"Master, are you dissatisfied with your disciple?" Fairy Zheng said aggrievedly.

According to the rules of Xianyun Sect, marrying out is equivalent to leaving the sect.

Zheng Luqing grew up in the sect and has deep feelings for Xianyun Sect. She has no intention of leaving Xianyun Sect.

However, she had no plans to seek out a fellow apprentice. She was destined to be accompanied by the sword for the rest of her life, a choice shared by many sword cultivators.

Qi Honglian said, "No, I'm just asking. Don't overreact. I know that some of our sect's rules are quite inhumane. When I was a disciple, I found some of the rules and regulations too annoying. Now that I'm the sect leader, I want to make some changes."

However, as soon as these words came out, Nangong Ruyun said: "Junior sister, do you think those rules need to be changed?"

"That's too much," Qi Honglian said immediately. However, she belatedly noticed something was wrong in her senior sister's tone.

She then realized that as a sect leader, it was indeed inappropriate for her to say this about her own sect, so she stopped talking.

It was all because of her senior sister's insistence on abdicating. She had been an elder for so many years and had done well, without any ambition at all, but she was pushed into the position of sect leader by her senior sister. Even now, she has not fully entered the role of a sect leader.

Nangong Ruyun rolled her eyes at Qi Honglian. Seeing that her junior sister had shut up, she continued, "You are a sect leader now. You need to act like one. You can't be like before."

This was her kind reminder. She didn't consider Zhao Kangping and his apprentice as outsiders, so she spoke out without hesitation.

This sparked Zhao Mengyao's curiosity, so she asked, "Aunt Yun, what was Sect Master Qi like in the past?"
