Chapter 5594: Eastern Domain Lord is Not Bad (Part 1)
The Eastern Domain Lord arrived with Steward Li Yang. The two politely stopped outside the small courtyard, waiting with smiles at the entrance. Who didn't know by now that Madam Mo and her group's courtyard was as difficult to breach as a dragon's lair or a tiger's den? Although he had a slight acquaintance with Young Master Mo and Madam Mo, it was still best to strictly adhere to the rules.
A moment later, Aoye hurried out and led the two inside. It was Fu San and his wife who came to receive the Eastern Domain Lord, courteously inviting them to sit down.
"Why aren't Young Master Mo and Madam Mo here today?" the Eastern Domain Lord asked with a smile.
"Oh, they are in seclusion and haven't come out. If the Eastern Domain Lord has anything, telling us is the same."
The truth was, those two were having too much fun playing with the children in the Hundred Herb Garden and were too lazy to come out and deal with the Eastern Domain Lord.
The Eastern Domain Lord nodded politely. "It is indeed a major matter concerning our Eastern Domain. Please convey it to the Young Master and Madam."
"Certainly, certainly," Fu San nodded repeatedly.
"Around this time every year, the four domains of the Holy Domain—East, West, South, and North—will hold a preliminary competition. Each domain will select two hundred people to collectively proceed to the Sacred Palace."
Fu San blinked, then chuckled heartily. "Don't joke, Lord. You barely see any residential buildings here, where would there be any palace?"
Princess Wushuang nodded, adding, "Haven't people gotten used to using the sky as their blanket and the ground as their mat? Palaces and such, do you have them here?"
Don't treat them as uncultured. Although the four major domains of East, West, South, and North were vast, they had at least traveled all over the Eastern Domain. Everywhere was a vast expanse of white, with no discernible differences. The other three domains were probably not much different.
The Eastern Domain Lord awkwardly rubbed his nose. "You two have misunderstood."
"This Sacred Palace of ours descends from the sky around this time every year."
"This is actually the benefit of ascending to the Holy Domain. Every year, the Heavenly Dao will send down the Sacred Palace to the Holy Domain. Inside, besides many rare treasures, it is said there are also many Holy Beast Eggs."
"Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump!" The bamboo building stairs suddenly creaked.
Fu San and his wife couldn't help but subtly twitch their mouths, simultaneously turning to look at the stairwell, putting on an exaggeratedly surprised expression. "Oh, Big Brother, Sister-in-law, you two have come out of seclusion?"
Pah! It must be that their little sister-in-law heard about the Sacred Palace and couldn't contain her curiosity, so she ran out of the Star Domain and then pretended to come down from upstairs.
Lord Qiaoqiao walked down the stairs with small, expressionless steps, trying hard to maintain a poker face that was as cold as ice. Mo Lian, with a faint smile on his lips, held his wife's hand and politely nodded to the Eastern Domain Lord, who looked up at them. "Lord, what brings you here today?"
The Eastern Domain Lord quickly rose with a smile, bowed, and said courteously, "I just mentioned this matter to Young Master Fu and Madam Fu. It's about the Heavenly Dao descending the Sacred Palace."
"Every year, the four domains of the Holy Domain—East, South, West, and North—will hold a grand selection for this. The top two hundred will be chosen to enter the Sacred Palace."
"I have two guaranteed spots and am willing to offer one to one of you," the Eastern Domain Lord said with a slight smile. "I have a small request. I hope that after entering the Sacred Palace, Young Master Mo and Madam Mo can take me along."
Qiaomu blinked.
