Mortal To Immortal (Book 1)
MTI 180 - Welcome Host

"There's nothing wrong with what you say, Wei-gege. That was if the Young Cultivator Meeting was only attended by the largest representative of the white flow. This meeting was different and happened for the first time. Don't you feel like you're going to have some unwanted trouble? Yeah, you know what I mean, don't you?"

The smile that adorned Bao Wei's face thinned. Inwardly he agreed with this junior of his, but there was nothing he could do. Let alone him who is the son of the Patriarch, even his father was helpless, as well as the higher-ups of their group.

Except for the Jade Treasure Tower, the other largest white and neutral party agreed to conduct a Young Cultivator Meeting that was different from the white tradition. It was originally proposed by the Clever Fearing Sect, before it was directly agreed upon without a second thought by the Immortal Sword Sect. The other party finally agreed.

The reason is simple and quite logical. Not only did it strengthen the harmonious relationship between the white and neutral streams, it was also because the current situation of the world of cultivators was also fairly peaceful for quite a long time at least for the past twenty years.

All parties agreed to appoint the Jade Treasure Tower as the host organizer for this meeting of their younger generation. Inevitably, the Jade Treasure Tower was finally willing to fulfill this great 'demand' and try to do its best.

Only fools do not understand that this meeting is full of political interests, even greater than before because the number of participants present is more and comes from two different streams.

Personally, Bao Wei was less fond of the sect's political interests in the cultivator world, as it was more often to the detriment of many parties than to the advantage. A principle that actually contradicts the ancestral principle of the Jade Treasure Tower.

"To avoid one of the unwanted events, our side has done its best. One of them was to negate the auction in the Jade Treasure City..."

It is true that an auction will be held by the Jade Treasure Tower in the Green Forest Country's largest city. However since the Young Cultivator Meeting was held also in the Jade Treasure City, their side decided to move the auction event in a different city and was held not long after this meeting.

The auction will be held in Spring City, the seat of the Green Forest Country government. The representative appointed to meet the Emperor or Empress was the Qian Yue Treasure Fairy, as the skill of the beautiful girl in negotiations was the best among the younger generation of the Jade Treasure Tower.

"Don't think no. Let's take the bright side. Ah, no, I mean the good side. This meeting will be a gathering of beautiful girls." Bao Wei showed a seductive smile.

Fang Jun paused for a moment before the look on his face got better and then laughed softly.

"You're right, Wei-gege. There will be the Light Fairy, the Ice Fairy, the Flower Fairy, and the Fire Fairy. Unfortunately, Yue-jiejie was unable to attend. If it wasn't for her duty, then it would be complete for the beautiful girls to gather in this meeting."

"You're right. But one thing you need to remember is not to tease or offend any of the girls. You know who the girl I mean, don't you?"

Fang Jun immediately nodded with a slightly wry smile. The girl in question was the Light Fairy Huang Mingzhu, the child and disciple of the Light Pillar Ji Guang of the Sky Mountain Sect.

The Great Elder of the Sky Mountain Sect loved the princess very much and kept a close watch on her association to avoid the interference of the young man or the man who teased her.

In short, whoever bullies this girl so that it makes her uncomfortable or her mood becomes bad will end up horribly in the hands of the Pillar of Light directly.

The harsh protection attitude of Ji Guang's Pillar of Light on his only daughter had also become a thing that many people knew, especially the upper classes of white and neutral streams.

"Hm? Oh, it's time we showed you the best thing. The first group has arrived."

Bao Wei looked outside the meeting hall, Fang Jun followed the direction of his senior's gaze. There is a group consisting of two different groups when viewed from their overall appearance.

"I also think so, Wei-gege. Seeing them coming together, it seems like they met by chance on the way."

The two groups that came in one entourage were representatives of the Northern Ice Fortress and the Flower Ombak Sect. The main characters of these two groups were Ice Fairy Bing Xueyu and Flower Fairy Shui Hua.

The Northern Ice Fortress was in the farthest region when compared to the other sects whose representatives would come in this meeting. Thus, the two young men were quite surprised Bing Xueyu and the others arrived the earliest.

Bao Wei and Fang Jun advanced slowly welcoming the two groups that came with friendly smiles.

"Greetings to the elders, brothers, and sisters. Welcome to Jade Treasure City. My name is Bao Wei and this is my junior Fang Jun, we are the representatives of the Jade Treasure Tower for this Young Cultivator Meeting." Bao Wei gave a greeting, representing himself and Fang Jun.

The two groups received well the welcome from Bao Wei and Fang Jun. This was arguably the first time they had met each other, except for Bao Wei with Shui Hua who had met once on a rare occasion.

Bing Xueyu and Shui Hua took turns introducing themselves and the other members who came with them.

"Brother Bao, this isn't the first time we've met, but your attitude is too formal." Shui Hua's beautiful voice sounded. His words slightly insinuated Bao Wei's attitude.

Bao Wei's reaction only gave a faint smile followed by a slow twitch. "Sister Shui, you must know I didn't mean that."

Although never met directly, long before this meeting the younger generation already knew each other's identity. This information is open, while closed nature all parties seek it secretly for anticipation.

Being formal was exhausting for Bao Wei, but he still had to do it for the sake of both himself and the Jade Treasure Tower.

Bao Wei had wanted to continue her bases by praising the beauty of these two girls, but soon she canceled. Bao Wei could only clearly see Bing Xueyu's beauty behind the thin blue veil that the girl was wearing, whereas Shui Hua's face was completely invisible, except for her eyes, because the ice jade mask was even able to block the vision of the Heavenly Senses.

Subsequently, Bao Wei and Fang Jun assumed their respective roles. Bao Wei would entertain the young cultivators who were a generation with him, whereas Fang Jun would entertain the bodyguard elders in a special room not too far from the meeting room.

The visual Ice Fairy Bing Xueyu, barely a hundred percent matched the author's shadow. Gimana nih with 'engagement' of our main character. It fit?

Visual Fairy Flower Shui Hua. No ice jade mask, thin veil. The two flower stalks represented him from the Flower Waves Sect.
