Chapter 461: Becoming the Celestial Master
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As soon as Tang Li regained consciousness, someone said respectfully, “Celestial Master, the patriarch asked me to invite you to his palace immediately.”
Before Tang Li could see who it was, she mumbled to herself, “I’m actually in the Celestial Master’s Palace. It seems like the Celestial Master of the Fifth Heaven is on equal footing with the clan head.”
However, when she saw it clearly, she fell silent.
This was because at this moment, she was sitting cross-legged above a hall that was especially like a fairyland. White gauze was floating around the hall, and at the same time, there was a faint fog. This fog was actually formed by spiritual energy. Below her, there were many men and women in white robes kneeling, looking at her piously.
By the door of the hall, a middle-aged man in a red robe was kneeling.
Tang Li withdrew her gaze and reached out her hand. She subconsciously looked at the red thread on her wrist.
She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the red color on it. Only then did she look at the robe she was wearing.
It was white, and there were very exquisite patterns embroidered on it. The material was especially soft and smooth.
Then, she reached out her finger and tapped in the air, thinking about a mirror.
As expected, a mirror appeared.
The person in the mirror looked like her, but there was a birthmark between her eyebrows that looked like a petal.
Zhou Changfu, who was kneeling by the door, saw that the celestial master did not get up. He thought that she did not hear him clearly, so he raised his voice and said, “Celestial Master, the head of the clan wants you to see him immediately.”
“Yes.” Tang Li stood up from her seat.
The group of people kneeling below quickly retreated.
Tang Li strode towards the door. Her long dress dragged on the ground, creating a gust of wind.
This was the first time Tang Li felt that she was so cool. She walked much faster than usual.
When she reached the door, Zhou Changfu stood up and retreated to the side. He lowered his head, looking like he was letting Tang Li leave first.
When Tang Li walked to his side, she stopped.
Zhou Changfu was stunned.
Tang Li said, “Lead the way.”
She had no memory of this person she was in at all. She didn’t even know who the clan of the family was or where he was.
Zhou Changfu raised his head to look at Tang Li in shock. He quickly lowered his head and took a step to the right of Tang Li.
Along the way, wherever Tang Li passed, everyone knelt down.
It was obvious how important the Celestial Master was here.
The buildings here were very similar to the buildings in the ancient palace on Earth, but there was a lot of spiritual energy floating around. Be it flowers, trees, birds, or insects, they were all prettier and larger than the ones on Earth.
Tang Li was not in the mood to admire it. She only wanted to find her man now. She was not familiar with this place at all. The best way was to get the head of the clan here to help her find him.
It took more than half an hour to walk from the Celestial Master’s Hall to the head of the clan’s palace. When they were almost there, Tang Li asked Zhou Changfu, “Do you have a carriage?”
Frightened, Zhou Changfu knelt down and kowtowed to Tang Li as he begged, “Master, please spare me. I didn’t know you wanted to take the carriage.”
On the way, he was still wondering why the Celestial Master didn’t fly but walked. It turned out that she wanted to take the carriage. Would the Celestial Master kill him in a fit of anger?
Tang Li glanced at the frightened eunuch and couldn’t be bothered to explain/ She shut her mouth and looked at the majestic building in front of her. Without asking him to lead the way, she walked in with large strides.
As she walked in, no one stopped her. Everyone knelt down and kowtowed.
Tang Li quickened her pace. After walking for a while, she stopped and asked the guard kneeling beside her, “Where is the patriarch?”
“Celestial Master, the head of the clan is in the study room.”
Where was the study room?
Tang Li wanted to ask, but she gave up.
She had seen many designs of the palace before, so she followed her instincts.
After walking through countless corridors, she finally heard voices.
“The war between the Black Tortoise Clan and the Vermillion Bird Clan is very intense this time. I heard that the Black Tortoise and the Vermillion Bird patriarchs are both seriously injured. Patriarch, this is a good opportunity for us to attack them. Don’t miss it.”
When Tang Li reached the door, an especially cold voice was heard. “We’ll discuss this matter after the Celestial Master comes over.”
When Tang Li heard this voice, she was delighted and pushed the door open.
The moment the door was pushed open, the people inside looked over at the same time.
Tang Li looked at the man sitting there and walked up to him, saying with a smile, “Yihan, it turned out you are here.”
The entire study room suddenly fell into an indescribable silence.
After a few seconds, the man sitting there said to the others with a cold expression, “All of you, leave first.”
The ministers were all stunned by how the Celestial Master addressed the patriarch. At the patriarch’s instruction, they quickly turned around and left.
A minister at the back even helped them close the door.
Tang Li did not care how those unimportant people reacted. The moment they left, she immediately said happily, “Yihan, I didn’t expect you to become the patriarch of this clan. Great, I don’t have to look for you anymore. Let’s go, I’ll take you out of here.”
With that, she was about to grab his hand and take him away.
However, as soon as she reached out her hand, he said with a cold face, “Celestial Master, please watch your words.”
Tang Li was stunned for a moment. After a while, she mumbled, “Aren’t you him?”
With that, she quickly looked at his left wrist. The red line on it proved that this person was her husband.
However, from the looks of it, he didn’t seem to be lying. Most importantly, Qi Yihan wouldn’t make such a joke.
At this thought, Tang Li frowned. “I see, you forgot everything.”
The man in front of Tang Li looked at her coldly. His eyes were cold, but there was a hint of doubt in the depths of his eyes. His heart ached a little, as if a voice was saying, “Don’t hurt her.”
Tang Li stared into his eyes for a few seconds and asked, “Do you have a wife?”
The man said with a frown, “No.”
Tang Li was satisfied. “That’s good.”
Then, she smiled at him and said, “It’s fine if you don’t remember me now. Just treat it as if we’re dating again.”
The man frowned. He felt that the high and mighty celestial master was acting strange, as if… she was possessed by something.
At this thought, he suddenly attacked, wanting to strangle Tang Li.
Tang Li immediately sensed the murderous aura coming from him. When he attacked, her body flashed and she appeared behind him. Then, she hugged him from behind and said with a smile, “Hubby, although I allow you to forget me for the time being, you can’t use violence on me. I’m afraid you’ll regret it when your memory comes back.”
The man felt the softness on his back.
His heart suddenly started racing.
In the next second, Tang Li let go of his back.
The man turned around and looked at her with a pair of cold and angry eyes. He said seriously, “Don’t spout nonsense. As a Celestial Master, you should act like one.”
“What if I say no?”
After saying that, Tang Li quickly wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him on the lips. She even licked him provocatively before letting go of him. She quickly retreated and said, “I’ll only say it once. My name is Tang Li, and your name is Qi Yihan. We’re husband and wife. The next time we meet, don’t be so cold to me.”
With that, she walked out.
That snow-white dress made her look devastatingly beautiful and ethereal.
After she walked out, the man seemed to have come back to his senses. He raised his hand to touch his lips. It was a feeling that he had never felt in his entire life.
He was even more confused.
After Tang Li walked out, she did not go back the way she came. Instead, she planned to walk around. Although she did not have the memory of this celestial master, she knew that the status of the celestial master here was very high. It was so high that other than the patriarch’s palace, she could go anywhere else.
As she walked, she arrived at a large garden.
The fog formed by the spiritual energy in the garden floated among the colorful flowers, giving people a refreshing feeling.
Tang Li felt a little regretful. “If I knew I would come here, I would have brought Qiqi and Linlin with me. They will love this place.”
At this moment, a bell-like laughter came from the side.
Tang Li looked up and saw two beautiful women catching butterflies.
Tang Li was speechless.
The two of them obviously saw her too. They quickly walked over and bowed to her sincerely.
“Celestial Master.”
Tang Li wondered who these two people were.
At this moment, a voice came from the side. “Concubine. Yun, Concubine Wang.”
Tang Li asked, “Are you the patriarch’s women?”
The two concubines didn’t know why the Celestial Master asked the question she already knew, but they still answered, “Yes.”
Tang Li narrowed her eyes in displeasure.
Although she knew that she and Qi Yihan were in someone else’s body now, when she heard that the body her husband was in already had two concubines, she was still very unhappy.
However, she did not do anything and turned to leave.
She was afraid that if she didn’t leave now, she would take her anger out on these two women.
The moment Tang Li left, the two women looked at each other in confusion.
The woman in the purple dress asked, puzzled, “Is Celestial Master unhappy? Why is she unhappy?”
The woman in the yellow dress shook her head. “I don’t know.”
The woman in purple thought for a moment. “Maybe she’s unhappy because we’re disturbing her. Sister, let’s go back first.”
The woman in yellow quickly nodded.
The two of them walked to the side and started talking.
“We’ve been sent here for several months. I wonder when we’ll be able to see the patriarch.”
“I heard that the patriarch is especially fierce and cold. No woman dares to approach him at all. I hope I won’t see him. I’m terrified.”
“If you don’t see him, how can you get pregnant with his child? That’s what we are here for.”
