The Ancient Realm Goddess
Tianjun Palace and the Xie Clan
Treading the Celestial realm meant entering a new rule. In the Celestials were five great palaces each ruled by a different clan. The five palaces were the Tianjun, Guang, Shenghuo, Meide palaces and the last one was Rongyao.
Currently Qing Yue'er was moving towards the territory of the Tianjun palace which was the Xie clan's ruling palace. His feelings became impatient. At least he wanted to find out how and what kind of clan his return was.
During his way to that place, Qing Yue'er discovered the myriad differences between the Celestials and the Tongxuan continent. In this Celestial region is dominated by a variety of plant colors and white cloud fibers scattered. Undeniably, Celestial is indeed a place that pleases the eyes.
In addition, there are also no poor people or lower class groups. This was enough to make Qing Yue'er cluck in awe. At first glance this does look like a place that offers a lot of prosperity.
Qing Yue'er could see a large white-colored building standing firmly not far from her. Next to the big building there is a tower that rises high up to be covered with clouds. Isn't this amazing?
“Every palace in the Celestial does have its own tower. In the tower that is usually family or members of the palace do increase in strength,” said Xie Wuqing while staring at the towering tower. Traces of longing could be seen on the look in his eyes.
“Are we going to go there directly?” qing Yue'er asked.
Xie Wuqing nodded. “I hope they will welcome our arrival,” he said. Then he immediately invited Qing Yue'er to follow him. They moved fast enough to arrive in front of Tianjun palace in a short time.
Unfortunately due to the worsening conditions of the dispute, the Tianjun palace closed its gates tightly. They do not accept the arrival of outsiders who have no interest. There was only a group of guards in white uniforms standing around the palace. The number is indeed very much because the palace is large.
Qing Yue'er sighed. He did not want events like the one that happened in the Bai family to happen again. There should be no problem if they want to enter.
Xie Wuqing approached the gatekeeper. “Guard, can you let me in? I am Xie Wuqing the younger brother of Xie Ying Fei. You should know this. I left the Xie clan already many years ago,” he said long.
The guard looked surprised. Even so he did not immediately believe. “Can you convince us? Right now the Xie clan had already arrived at a tipping point. Who will know if you are really our Young Master Xie or even the envoy of the Liu.” clan
Xie Wuqing instantly showed the sword that became the symbol of the Xie clan. He also took out an identity token and showed it to the gatekeeper.
The guard checked its authenticity for a while. They're lyrically interlocking for a moment. Tokens and swords are pretty strong evidence. Not just anyone can have it. Finally they nodded before bowing to Xie Wuqing. “Welcome back to the big palace of Tianjun.”
Xie Wuqing exhaled a sigh of relief. There was no problem getting in. Then he held Qing Yue'er in his arms preparing to go inside. However, the gatekeeper blocked Qing Yue'er's footsteps.
“Sorry, Young Master, is this person trustworthy?”
“You may doubt me but you cannot doubt his identity. You'll know later. He is an important person and I will guarantee this,” Xie Wuqing said firmly. He looked very different when compared to Xie Wuqing before.
The guard finally stepped aside and let the two of them in. However, there were still two guards following them. Either because to start or to prevent the occurrence of unexpected things.
After Qing Yue'er and her uncle left, the gatekeepers began to interlock the lyrics. They wondered about both of these people. Xie Wuqing was someone who had not returned for a long time. In fact, there is no clear information regarding his departure. And now he's back. Of course this is questionable.
As for Qing Yue'er, what identity made her so privileged by Xie Wuqing? They become curious. Was the girl perhaps a mistress of the clan head? Nope, no. That's too crazy.
Qing Yue'er did not know what those gatekeepers were thinking. Right now he was still speechless observing the palace in front of him. The building is dominated by white. Not only the building, even the palace guards wear white clothes. It perfectly matches his name, Tianjun which means Heavenly Army.
“Linxi's sister! Quickly throw it even further! You must beat my record!” shouted a man from far away.
Whoosshh!
“Yue'er, move!” exclaim Xie Wuqing.
A long, glittering sword seemed to be sliding at a frightening speed towards Qing Yue'er. With a reflex move Qing Yue'er instantly caught the slashing sword. If he didn't catch it immediately maybe the sword would pierce his head.
Xie Wuqing who saw this became displeased. He looked at the two people who were currently walking towards him as well. He might have forgotten a little, but at least still vaguely remembered that those people were still his relatives.
“Restore my sword!” shouted a woman whose age might be one year or two years older than Qing Yue'er. His appearance is not so special, but his cheeks that are given a facial appearance do look a little striking.
“Shouldn't you apologize?” xie Wuqing asked. She vaguely remembered that this woman was named Xie Linxi, the son of her own uncle.
“Why should I apologize? It should be him who did not cross when I was practicing,” replied Xie Linxi unhappy.
Hearing Qing Yue'er's remark naturally made Xie Linxi grow angry. “You dare call me stupid?!” He shouted loudly before finally turning to look at the gatekeeper who was following Qing Yue'er. “Why did you guys let a stranger enter the palace? Hasn't the Xie clan already banned anyone from entering?!”
“Nona Linxi, but she is—”
“Ahhh! I don't want to hear your reasons. And you ...” Xie Linxi pointed at Qing Yue'er, but the designated girl did not even look at her at all.
Qing Yue'er lazily listened to the long debate. So he said, “Uncle, can we not continue this? He'll just waste our time.”
“You said talking to me was just a waste of time?!” Xie Linxi became even more furious. He looked at Qing Yue'er with displeasure. “How arrogant. Entering the Xie clan meant having to respect the host. However, you are actually behaving badly like this in front of the host!”
Qing Yue'er frowned. Suddenly his uncle took his arm and said, “Come leave them.”
Finally Qing Yue'er walked after Uncle Wuqing until she passed Xie Linxi. There he paused for a moment then returned the female sword with origin. Slowly he whispered, “Let's see who the real host is.”
“....”
Xie Linxi received his sword with stunned eyes. He remained silent for a while. After realizing it, he realized the figure of the annoying girl who had disappeared.
“Sial! Who's the fucking girl? Why is it so brave to talk to me like that?” xie Linxi grumbled with annoyance. Although he was not a leading person but no one dared to be so openly conflicted with him. Not like that girl.
“Linxi's sister, forget it. Anyway we don't know who he is and what his purpose is to come here,” said a man holding a fan. He looked like a young master in general.
“No, I'll find out later,” said Xie Linxi with a certain glint. Then without saying anything else he passed away with a deteriorating mood.
“Aish, at most he wants to complain to others,” muttered the foreign man while fanning his face. Then he also passed away while thinking. “By the way why do I feel the man who previously looked familiar huh? It seems I've seen it before, but where?”

Qing Yue'er continued to follow her uncle until she entered the main building. He could see various beautiful carvings that looked so elegant. The pillars weren't that big, but it seemed like it was very powerful.
They walked until they arrived in front of the room with the door closed. The guard who followed them said, “Young Master, wait here. Let me tell the clan head first.”
Xie Wuqing shook his head. “No need. You go and don't tell anyone about my return. Let others know by themselves.”
The guard nodded and bowed before finally leaving. After that Xie Wuqing invited Qing Yue'er to enter. However, when he almost opened the door, another disturbance came.
“Wait!”
Xie Wuqing instantly turned around to see who the person who had come was. He saw a middle-aged man who was none other than his uncle.
The middle-aged man was slightly surprised when he saw Xie Wuqing. He seemed to measure Xie Wuqing up to a moment. But suddenly he nodded. “Cannot be. You're not Wuqing, are you?”
“Uncle, it's me,” said Xie Wuqing lazily. He could not believe that his uncle did not believe him. The man should be able to detect it by looking at his bloodline.
“How can I believe that you are Wuqing? We have been separated for years. Why did Xie Wuqing suddenly come? Especially at times like this.”
“Then why not let me meet the clan head immediately? Dad must know if I am his son or not,” Xie Wuqing said unhappily. Just a step away and this person why should come delaying? Isn't this too annoying?
Qing Yue'er just silently listened to this. He had indeed heard that Xie Wuqing's father was the clan head who served as the head of the Tianjun palace. That meant the head of the Xie clan was Qing Yue'er's grandfather. What's that guy like? Qing Yue'er became impatient.
“Alright, I'll let you meet him. However, if it turns out that you are not Wuqing then do not blame me if a painful punishment will befall you,” the old man said with a hidden smile. He was indeed not convinced by Xie Wuqing's identity yet.
