Mo Qingyue is no longer a leftover woman of the Celestial Saint Palace, over a hundred years old, and her cultivation at the Peak Realm, it was only natural for her to advance to the Flying Immortal Palace, becoming one of the many Elders of the Celestial Saint Palace.

The newly appointed Saintess is named Qin Zhenzheng, who is twenty-two this year, with cultivation at the Eighth Layer of the True Self Realm.

The young lady is tall with long legs and has a baby face; when Chen Zhixing descended the mountain, she seemed to be just going up to the Flying Immortal Palace. Upon seeing Chen Zhixing, she addressed him as 'Senior' with remarkable familiarity.

Then....

In conversation, both parties discovered that this young lady was actually two months older than Chen Zhixing.

How awkward.

A pink blush continuously emerged on Qin Zhenzheng's round cheeks, yet her big eyes kept glaring at Chen Zhixing, with an expression that said, 'How could you bully honest people.'

Seeing this, Chen Zhixing chuckled lightly: "Why are you glaring at me? You were the one who started calling me 'Senior,' it's not like I forced you to."

"You... you... hmph! Move aside, I want to go up the mountain to pay my respects to Master Qingyue!"

Obviously, Qin Zhenzheng was speaking in a fit of pique, not intending to leave, because she even reached out to push Chen Zhixing, making a gesture as if asking him to make way.

Chen Zhixing found this situation amusing, realizing Qin Zhenzheng was giving him an opportunity to invite her to stay.

If Chen Zhixing invited her, then this young lady would follow him down the steps, quickly establishing a topic with Chen Zhixing, and then seize the opportunity to lead Chen Zhixing to her newly seated Saintess Palace for a chat.

In other words, this was a way for this young lady, who had been highly praised in the Celestial Saint Palace, to create a closer relationship with outsiders.

Of course, Chen Zhixing wouldn't dampen her enthusiasm.

He was pushed on the chest but didn't move aside.

Instead, he smiled and said to her: "What a coincidence, I just came down from Flying Immortal Peak, having returned from Qingyue's place. She is busy cultivating right now and temporarily can't receive any visitors."

"Oh? Is that so?"

The young lady, sensing Chen Zhixing's goodwill, had eyes that turned into crescent moons as she smiled, and after thinking for a moment, she said to Chen Zhixing: "In a normal situation, since you are from the Ziwei Chen Family, Master Qingyue should see you, but as she's in seclusion now... um, do you have any urgent matters? If not, you could come to my Saintess Palace for a while as a form of hospitality on behalf of Master Qingyue."

"It's more respectful to follow than to decline."

Chen Zhixing replied with a smile.

In fact, both parties were clear in their hearts about why they acted this way.

The Ziwei Chen Family has always been the fundamental base outside the Sect for the lineage of Celestial Saint Palace's Saintesses, maintaining a good relationship for nearly two thousand years, both being strong allies.

If it wasn't the case, Mo Qingyue wouldn't have brought Chen Zhaosheng from the Chen Family to the Celestial Saint Palace for cultivation in the past.

Now, with Mo Qingyue having stepped down, the new Saintess Qin Zhenzheng naturally would not give up on the strong ally that is the Ziwei Chen Family, thus leading to Chen Zhixing's visit to the former Saintess, which coincidentally resulted in an 'unexpected' encounter with the current Saintess.

This wasn't a coincidence, but rather an old tradition that has happened more than ten times over the past two thousand years.

The two of them were merely repeating the actions of their ancestors.

As for whether Chen Zhixing's actions would anger the former Saintess Mo Qingyue, there was simply no need to worry about that.

Mo Qingyue entering Flying Immortal Peak signifies that her connections have now expanded into the core Elder circle of the Celestial Saint Palace, and similarly, her relationship with the Ziwei Chen Family won't weaken; instead, it will grow stronger due to her elevated position, and the resources exchangeable between them become more advanced.

Just like the Fire Spirit Lotus recently obtained by the Chen Family; as it was acquired by Chen Zhixing's generation, when Mo Qingyue was promoted to Elder, Chen Zhixing's dealings with the Celestial Saint Palace would go through Mo Qingyue, rather than the Elder relationships expanded by his grandfather Chen Daoyan.

This is the rule!

It's impossible for Chen Family's assets to be dealt with by the generation of people Chen Daoyan knew, now that Mo Qingyue has entered Flying Immortal Peak.

As for Qin Zhenzheng, she can only pick up what Mo Qingyue leaves behind. Although it may not sound pleasant, in actuality, none of the resources related to the Peak Realm held by Chen Zhixing would fall into her hands.

Only when the Patriarch of the Chen Family rotates again to the next generation, will Qin Zhenzheng have the chance to intervene and exchange with the new generation's Patriarch.

It sounds painful because it is painful.

If it weren't for the fact that the position of the previous generation's Patriarch of the Chen Family fell to Chen Zhixing, and because the current Chen Family in the Southern Domain is powerful, causing other noble families to seem not as 'useful,' then this generation's Saintess of the Celestial Saint Palace should have been Qin Zhenzheng's master's generation.

But Chen Zhixing is too young!

Chen Zhaosheng is also very young!

Even though Chen Tianchen, his fourth uncle, is currently the head of the Chen Family, it's clear that Chen Tianchen is merely a stopgap, and it won't take many years before the position of Patriarch of the Ziwei Chen Family falls to Chen Zhaosheng.

Thus, with Chen Zhaosheng and Chen Zhixing being of the same generation, the profits brought by this generation of the Ziwei Chen Family naturally fall to the former Saintess Mo Qingyue.

And Qin Zhenzheng's master, realizing that the position of Saintess had no advantage, and being too old to wait to interact with the next generation of the Chen Family, voluntarily relinquished this position.

This is how Qin Zhenzheng ascended to the position of the Saintess of the Celestial Saint Palace.

If it weren't for this, Qin Zhenzheng would have had to wait at least another thirty years before ascending to the role of Saintess.....

Very realistic.

The Celestial Saint Palace, a giant beast that seems to decide everything, but truly, its relationship with the various noble families is more akin to Chen Zhixing's previous life's investment group and its partially owned companies.
