Chapter 4937: I’ve heardMisty Cloud Translations

"Brother Guo, I offer my sincerest apologies here. It’s my fault for not keeping my subordinates in line. Please don’t hold it against me, don’t hold it against me." He stepped forward with a smile, bowed his hands in greeting with a cheerful expression, then turned to the little girl in the hall and asked in surprise, "Brother Guo, who is this..."

Old Predecessor Guo glanced at Yun Qi beside him, thought for a moment, and said, " This is a young friend of mine, Yun Qi. She traveled here with me and will likely be staying at your place for a couple of days."

Hearing this, he was surprised but didn’t press further. He simply smiled and said, "I see. Since she’s a friend of Brother Guo’s, she’s also a guest of my Yu Family. A couple of days? No problem. Even if she stays for ten days or half a month, that’s perfectly fine."

With that, he chuckled. "Brother Guo, my recent breakthrough to a higher realm is cause for great celebration. I should have personally invited you, but after years of seclusion, I’ve only just emerged. Then, on my first outing, an old friend pays a visit... so..."

"No need to apologize. The distance between us is considerable; traveling back and forth would be time-consuming. My coming here serves the same purpose." Old Predecessor Guo waved his hand dismissively.

"How swiftly time flies! Without you, Brother Guo, I wouldn’t be where I am today." He spoke with deep emotion, his gaze brimming with gratitude.

Yue’er watched from the side as the two chatted. From their conversation, it seemed Old Predecessor Guo had saved him many years ago. Now that he had advanced, he had specially invited him to share in the celebration.

After chatting for a while, he turned to Old Predecessor Guo and Yun Qi: "You must be weary from your journey. Let me show you to the courtyard to rest first."

So the two followed him toward the guest quarters. Along the way, Old Predecessor Guo inquired, "How many guests did you invite this time? Have the others all arrived?"

"I’ve been in seclusion for so many years. I only have one or two old friends I still keep in touch with. Besides you, there’s only Old Man Zeng. The others are from some of the city’s families." Old Predecessor Yu said, adding, "After I emerged from seclusion, I heard that the Great Emperor here now is a female emperor, known as the Phoenix Sovereign. Have you heard anything about her background?"

At the mention of her Mother, Yue’er, who had been following nearby, flashed a glance and looked up at them.

"This Empress Phoenix Sovereign is no ordinary figure!" Old Predecessor Guo declared, turning to him. "Are you aware of the recent incident involving the Great Emperor Northern Flame?"

Old Predecessor Yu nodded, stroking his beard as he replied, "Yes. I heard he was utterly annihilated, body and soul. And this was the work of none other than Empress Phoenix Sovereign."

Indeed. She is truly formidable. This incident shook the entire Upper Immortal Realm, reverberating far and wide. Presumably, the other Great Emperors have all heard of it, and now know both her methods and her power. Yet, in the time since, no one has dared to stir. It can be said that the might of this Empress Phoenix Sovereign is universally acknowledged."

Old Predecessor Guo spoke with admiration, then added with a hint of regret, "Yet this Empress Phoenix Sovereign remains profoundly mysterious. Rumor has it that she favors crimson robes—a flowing crimson gown—and possesses breathtaking beauty. Her peerless grace and bearing leave an indelible impression upon all who behold her."

Yue’er’s eyes sparkled with a smile. She loved hearing others praise her Mother more than any compliment directed at herself.

As they chatted along the way, they eventually arrived at a small courtyard. Old Yu then addressed the little girl beside him, "Young friend Yun Qi, you shall reside here. Should you require anything, simply instruct the servants below."
