Xuan Yue True Monarch took a sip of tea and said, "While we are all here, I will tell you about the recent major events in the palace, so you are not caught off guard."
After a pause, Xuan Yue True Monarch continued, "The foremost matter is, of course, Yan Shi's ascension. From now on, he will automatically become the Vice Palace Master, adding another immortal to our Taichu Palace.
However, Yan Shi was not truly prepared; he was merely forced by circumstances. The palace must have a patrolling Immortal Monarch overseeing it, or the consequences would be unimaginable. We old folks don't really care, but you young ones out in the world could find yourselves in dire straits.
So, he took on this heavy burden without hesitation."
Wei Yuan was present at the time and, after reflecting and drinking tea with Yan Shi True Monarch, realized many things he hadn't noticed before.
