I Have an Omen System

Chapter 356: Chapter 233: Identity Swap (3)

Challenged in front of everyone, Leng Ningshuang was not cowed in the slightest. Instead, she proudly puffed out her chest and spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"What’s so excessive about my requirements? My master is at the Mid-stage Golden Core. Asking that his master be a Nascent Soul Daoist Monarch is simply a matter of being a good match."

"I am already at the Purple Mansion Sixth Level at my young age. I am certain to reach the Golden Core realm in the future, and even Nascent Soul is not out of reach. To require that he have the potential for Divinity Transformation, or at the very least reach Nascent Soul, is to ask for comparable potential."

"Although I do not have a private Cave Mansion in my Sect, my master provides a Tier Three Spirit Gathering Array for my cultivation. To ask that he have a Tier Five Spirit Gathering Array, which is necessary to have any hope of breaking through to Divinity Transformation, is simply planning for the long term!"

"All of this is perfectly reasonable. What’s wrong with it?"

Her string of "perfectly reasonable" arguments left everyone so dumbfounded they didn’t even have the energy to refute her.

Zhao Yan actually let out a scornful laugh.

"By your calculations, forget the Cyan Cloud Sect’s Daoist—I’m afraid even the Daqian Crown Prince couldn’t measure up to you!"

Leng Ningshuang actually nodded in agreement, wearing an expression that said, "It’s good that you know your place."

Lin Feng just shook his head with a wry smile, said no more, and walked straight off the stage.

He finally understood. For some people, this Water Mirror Marriage Conference wasn’t about finding a Daoist partner. It was a farce—a delusional fantasy where they put themselves up for the highest bidder.

And this farce reached its peak the moment Xiao Ran took the stage.

Xiao Ran calmly and deliberately stepped onto the jade platform.

His figure was tall and straight, his bearing graceful and poised. Merely by standing there, he captured the attention of the entire audience.

Xiao Ran smiled faintly. His gaze swept over the crowd below, lingering for a moment on Qin Xuan’Er, before his clear voice rang out, "I am Xiao Lan, of the Cyan Cloud Sect."

That single surname seemed to possess an invisible Magic Power!

"Xiao?"

"The Royal Xiao Clan?!"

"Could it be..."

The crowd below instantly erupted.

Compared to some True Inheritance disciple of a Sect, the ’Xiao’ surname of the Daqian Imperial Family represented the absolute pinnacle of power and resources in this world.

The Female Cultivators who had just been fawning over Lin Feng now turned their scorching gazes upon Xiao Ran.

Even Leng Ningshuang, who had remained so cold and aloof, shot to her feet.

The frost on her face melted away completely. Her beautiful eyes sparkled, a blush of excitement appeared on her cheeks, and she subconsciously smoothed her hair and dress.

Xiao Ran was very pleased with this effect. He continued in a nonchalant tone, "My cultivation is shallow and not worth mentioning. I came here out of admiration for the Water Mirror Palace, hoping to form a good connection."

He didn’t even need to say anything more.

The single word "Xiao" was worth more than a thousand words, pushing the atmosphere of the Water Mirror Marriage Conference to its absolute zenith.

Meanwhile, Qin Xuan, standing in the crowd, watched the glorious Xiao Ran on stage and the frenzied Female Cultivators below. He clutched his stomach, laughing so hard that tears nearly came to his eyes.

’You’ve really outdone yourself, Liu Mobai. You’re a true talent—even better at this game than I am.’

It made sense. Given the demands of these little fairies, only a scammer like Liu Mobai could possibly satisfy them.

This show was getting more and more interesting.

...

Muuu Yu took the initiative to stand up, her starry eyes glittering. "Could you be Senior Brother Xiao from the main branch of the Sect? Muuu Yu has been disrespectful!"

As for Leng Ningshuang, the frost on her face melted in an instant. Her cheeks flushed red as she tossed all the strict standards she had set before to the back of her mind.

In her eyes, only the "Xiao" surname remained, a symbol of supreme power and the Royal Family.

"Ningshuang was unaware of Prince Xiao’s presence and was rude just now. Please, Your Highness, do not take offense!"

Leng Ningshuang’s fawning attitude made her seem like a completely different person from before.

Even some of the Female Cultivators who had been reserved before now flocked around him, their flirtatious chatter filling the air as the scene instantly became tumultuous.

It was a scene that vividly displayed the materialism and snobbery of the Cultivation Realm.

Watching this group of Fairies who had changed their tune in an instant, Liu Yiyi couldn’t help but mutter in a low voice, "What if... what if someone is impersonating the Xiao surname?"

Though her voice was quiet, a Female Cultivator next to her overheard.

That Female Cultivator immediately scoffed, "In the entire world, who would dare impersonate a member of the Royal Xiao Clan? Are they not afraid of having their soul obliterated? Fellow Daoist Liu, you worry too much!"

Everyone else showed expressions of deep agreement, and no one took Liu Yiyi’s concern to heart.

Instead, they swarmed Xiao Ran with even greater enthusiasm.
