"Then you must make me a promise.

The allied forces must be stronger than the Fire Serpent Sect," Sect Master Bai remained silent for a long time before she spoke.

She finally conceded.

In her heart, the Immortal Palace is paramount.

Before her master's passing, he entrusted the Immortal Palace to her.

Sect Master Bai grew up in the Immortal Palace and holds deep affection for it.

Reviving the Immortal Palace is nearly her lifelong wish and dream.

So the burden on her shoulders is indeed heavy.

"Don't worry, there are not one or two, but thousands stronger than the Fire Serpent Sect," Xu Zimei waved his hand.

"Maid Bai, brew me a pot of tea to try."

Sect Master Bai paused for a moment before saying, "I'll go to the room to fetch some tea leaves and tea sets."

Xu Zimei waved his hand.

He found a deck chair and reclined in the cabin.

Like a gentleman, he gazed at the starry sky.

The starry sky was bright, and in fact, these days, everyone felt the weather in the Blazing Flame Realm starting to change.

Not as extreme as before.

On the contrary, there was a sense of distinct seasons.

Except for summer, the other seasons are not favored by the Fire Tribe, which is why they've been tirelessly searching for the source and cause of the weather changes.

But Xu Zimei enjoyed this weather.

Under the cool breeze, he gazed at the night sky.

Sect Master Bai soon returned with a small box of tea leaves in her hand.

She found an incense table beside her and slowly set it up.

She knelt on the ground with expert tea brewing skills.

Before long, Xu Zimei caught the aroma of tea, a scent that was somewhat refreshing.

"This girl, she really knows how to brew tea.

It seems I've picked the right maid," Xu Zimei thought to himself.

"Try it," Sect Master Bai poured a cup of tea and said.

She seemed to know what Xu Zimei had in mind.

So she explained, "My master taught me the art of tea brewing.

He said tea brings peace of mind.

It's not only about drinking; the act of brewing tea does the same.

Whenever I'm handling affairs of the Immortal Palace without any leads, I often drink tea."

Xu Zimei tasted it; the bitterness was followed by sweetness, with an indescribable lingering flavor.

Xu Zimei slept there through the night.

And Sect Master Bai stayed beside him, fulfilling her duties as a maid thoroughly.

She rarely agrees to anything easily.

But once she agrees, she would surely do it the best way possible, which is the modus operandi of Sect Master Bai.

When morning arrived, the Immortal Palace's people awoke to discover that their sect master had spent the night on the deck with Xu Zimei.

One by one, they found it unbelievable.

The younger generation like Wang Wei dared not say much.

However, the accompanying elders were in an uproar.

Led by the Great Elder, the elders stormed over menacingly.

After getting a general understanding of what happened, the Great Elder questioned.

"Sect Master, no matter how fallen our Immortal Palace might be.

There's no need to become a maid to some brat."

"Great Elder, enough, my mind is made up," Sect Master Bai shook her head to stop him.

"Forgive me for not understanding," the Second Elder said beside.

"If you ask me, you've been fooled by this brat.

We should kick him off the Spirit Ship."

"Are you trying to rebel?" Sect Master Bai's face changed, she scolded.

Having humbled herself as a maid, naturally, she didn't wish for others to ruin it.

"Sect Master, the Immortal Palace cannot suffer this humiliation," Great Elder stubbornly replied.

"I am still the Sect Master of the Immortal Palace; you must obey what I say."

Sect Master Bai scolded, "If you have any dissatisfaction, when we return, you can try to overthrow me as the Sect Master, I wouldn't mind."

Seeing Sect Master Bai's True Fire.

The elders naturally dared not challenge her directly.

In everyone's minds, they deeply respect Sect Master Bai. It was she who has led the entire sect to rise.

"Sect Master, why do you put yourself through this," Great Elder lamented with a sigh.

"I have my reasons," Sect Master Bai explained.

"We need a strategy to defeat the enemy.

If we remain indifferent, I'm afraid extinction is the only path left."

As they were speaking, a sudden burst of laughter came from the side.

"Hey, what is everyone bickering about?

Let me intervene."

Upon hearing this voice, everyone fell silent.

Great Elder turned and said, "We are discussing matters of the Immortal Palace, you as an outsider, shouldn't barge in."

"What's improper about that? As neighbors, if you need help, just say the word," Wang Yunpeng laughed.

He walked over gracefully in his golden robe.

Not taking himself as an outsider, he seemed like the owner, walking about openly.

"Young Master Wang, what do you want?" Sect Master Bai asked.

"About what I mentioned before, the alliance, have you considered it?" Wang Yunpeng inquired.

"Today, both the Fire Lion Sect and Flame Tiger Clan came seeking an alliance with us.

I've been stalling them, just waiting for your response."

"Since the Fire Serpent Sect is so popular, we don't want to compete with others.

Immortal Palace is just a small sect," Sect Master Bai replied.

"Let's end the alliance talk here."

"Sect Master Bai, that's a bit unreasonable," Wang Yunpeng narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Wang Yunpeng, your words are somewhat insolent," Lu Wuming on the side was getting restless.

The curved blade in his hand was lightly humming.

"Sect Master Bai, the choice is yours; if something goes wrong.

Don't blame me for not warning you," Wang Yunpeng retorted.

"The journey of cultivation is long, falling is common.

And the destruction of various forces is a simple matter."

"This isn't something Young Master Wang needs to remind us.

When the Saint of the Immortal Palace reigned supreme, your Fire Serpent Sect was still obscure."

Sect Master Bai also showed some anger, snorting coldly.

"Fine, very fine," Wang Yunpeng said through gritted teeth.

He then turned and left directly.

Watching Wang Yunpeng's departure, several elders looked at Sect Master Bai again.

Ultimately, they could only sigh, "Sect Master, don't forget your duties.

Take care."

Several elders departed, and the younger generation of disciples dared not stay and watch.

Sect Master Bai sank into deep silence.

At this moment, Xu Zimei slowly opened his eyes, yawning.

He asked, "Is it all handled?"

"I guess I am alone now," Sect Master Bai said with a bitter smile.

"My hopes rest on you."

"Relax," Xu Zimei waved his hand.

He asked, "How long until we reach the Sun Domain?"

"Look to the east," Sect Master Bai pointed ahead and said.

Only then did Xu Zimei stand up and look ahead.

In just one night, a golden sun had appeared in the place where the Spirit Ship sailed in the east.

This sun was enormous, almost covering the entire Firmament.

But aside from its dazzling brightness, it seemed devoid of heat.

"The land illuminated by the sun is where the Sun Domain is located," Sect Master Bai said.

"We are almost there."

At this moment, the Spirit Ship began to speed up, going faster and faster.
