Chapter 1997 Ever Spring Mistress
The Saintess' words were a legend that had been passed on through countless eras.
Lin Mu was quite interested in it, and memorized every word that the Saintess spoke. The same was the case with Princess Feng Lan and Clan Head Guang San.
After all, it had to do with their precious daughter and there was no way they would be taking any risk. They would take every word seriously, in order to find the best solution for their child. They wanted the best for her, after all.
Silence descended in the hall once the Saintess had finished speaking. Everyone digested the information, trying to come to terms with it.
Lin Mu was the first one to be done and spoke up soon.
"You said that even the Immortal courts would be helpless here, Saintess. Why's that?" Lin Mu finally questioned.
This was the thing that the couple wanted to know as well, thus they listened with wide open ears.
"That is because the girl will need a suitable teacher too. Just having a technique won't be enough. The Plum Heaven Bloodline also has the Spring Dao within it. It represents the transition of winter into spring. Right now, her bloodline is like a plum flower bud that has just started to grow in the winter. It still has to endure the tough winter before it can open up and bloom to its full potential.
As such, while her power will grow naturally, she will also have to endure the tribulations that come with it… and they are not as simple as the immortal tribulations that most know. She will need an experienced master to get through them.
And guidance like that is not something even the Immortal court will be able to provide." The Saintess answered.
"Then what are we to do?" Guang San asked, feeling quite helpless.
"The girl will need a celestial as a teacher." The Saintess replied, chilling their hearts. "Only a celestial's power would be able to control her stray power." She added.
"How are we going to get a celestial to help us?" Princess Feng Lan muttered in disbelief.
But while the two parents were losing their hope, Lin Mu had a different feeling. Saintess's character that much now.
"Please allay their worries, Saintess." Lin Mu urged.
He knew for sure the Saintess already had a solution. 'If not for that, she wouldn't have even appeared here.' Lin Mu could understand the Saintess's character that much now.
"Please allay their worries, Saintess." Lin Mu urged.
"Huh?" Lin Mu's words brought the couple out of their stupor.
"I know someone that can help the girl." The Saintess finally said, calming the hearts of the two.
"You do!?" Princess Feng Lan clenched her fists while Guang San's eyes reddened.
"I know of a person that is not only a celestial but also a practitioner of the Spring Dao. And it just so happens that she is also looking for a disciple." The Saintess spoke, seeding excitement within the hearts of the couple.
"M-may we know who's the esteemed celestial?" Princess Feng Lan asked respectfully.
"She's known as the Ever Spring Mistress." The Saintess replied. "I'll contact her for you and she should come soon enough." She added.
"How can… how can we ever repay such debt?" Guang San knew just how big of a favor was being done for them.
Forget the benevolence of telling them what was the issue with their daughter, the act of getting a Celestial as a master was simply unbelievable.
There was no one in the entire Rust Sky World, that could get a person a Celestial as a master on a mere suggestion.
This only raised the image of the Saintess in the hearts of Guang San and Princess Feng Lan.
'If she can call a celestial just like that, then she must be a celestial too…' Guang San understood. He also realized that the only reason the Saintess was here was because of Lin Mu.
'What kind of a background does he have to have a Celestial accompany him?' Guang San thought with shock.
Though when he thought about everything so far, he realized that it all made sense. He was simply ignorant at first.
'Of course, someone like him could win the Tournament of the Four Guardian beasts and be friends with the Crown Prince. He's already above all that.' Guang San thought to himself.
Princess Feng Lan had similar thoughts, but also felt thankful for her elder brother.
'If Elder Brother Feng Shun hadn't made friends with Daoist Mu Lin, perhaps he would have never come here. And if he didn't come here, Meihua might not even be alive.' Princess Feng Lan thought to herself.
But while she was thinking all this, the Saintess suddenly got closer and placed her hand on the head of Meihua.
~SHUA~
A powerful energy radiated from her body, that made it hard for the couple to breathe. Only Lin Mu was fine, but he too felt the power.
~HONG~
A green band appeared around Meihua's neck and turned into a translucent pendant. The pendant glowed for a bit before turning invisible.
"What's that?" Lin Mu asked, knowing that it was a skill.
"A seal." The Saintess stated, surprising the couple. "It'll keep her presence hidden from the beasts. Without it, you might be able to keep her hidden for now, but once she has the first awakening, even peak immortal arrays won't be able to stop it.
Strong beasts from all over the world will make their way to find her. At best, you would have a year with her without any incident, and at worst, a week." She revealed, making them afraid.
"Will it be fine now?" Princess Feng Lan asked, feeling anxious.
"Yes. The seal will keep her hidden from the beasts for a while. Once the Ever Spring Mistress arrives, she'll take care of the rest. You won't have to worry after that." The Saintess replied.
"Thank you… we'll forever be grateful to you," Princess Feng Land and Guang San said in unison.
"Now then, I'll have to contact her." The Saintess said. "I'll need a place for that."
