The Gale Immortal Emperor thought the Tempest Immortal Emperor would be angry, but he wasn’t.

Not only was he not angry, he actually lowered his head and started searching within his Space Immortal Ring, muttering to himself, "A meeting gift... What should I give?"

The Gale Immortal Emperor was once again dumbfounded. He wondered if his Sect Master had gone into deviation during his recent secluded cultivation. Otherwise, how could he have become like this?

A dignified Immortal Emperor yielding to send a third-grade Immortal King Realm minor immortal out of Tempest Hall was one thing, but not refusing the rude demand for a meeting gift from the other party? Is this still the same hot-tempered Sect Master he knew?

The Gale Immortal Emperor wanted to shout, "Sect Master, what has happened to you?"

But the words were held back at the last moment.

To question the Sect Master?

That would be a crime of great disrespect.

Even though the Gale Immortal Emperor was the Great Elder of Purple Wind Gorge, second to none, revered above thousands of immortals, he does not want to push his luck.

Besides, how the Sect Master treats guests or what he wishes to gift them is his own business. Why should he worry about it mindlessly?

"I just don’t want to tarnish the reputation of our Sect Master’s title as a dignified Immortal Emperor!"

The Gale Immortal Emperor searched for excuses for himself.

"You two might as well choose for yourselves!"

After searching his Space Immortal Ring for a while, the Tempest Immortal Emperor was uncertain about what to give that would express his intentions. So he simply spilled out some of the rarest cultivation resources he believed in, piling them into a small mountain in front of the Grand Hall, and said to Tang Wenrou and Ye Wumei, "Take whatever you like, consider it my meeting gift to you!"

Seeing the mountain-like pile of cultivation resources, the Gale Immortal Emperor’s gaze became fixed, and he had an urge to cry.

Among those cultivation resources, he saw a few items that the Sect Master treated as treasured possessions, items he himself had long wanted.

Previously, fearing rejection and losing face, the Gale Immortal Emperor hesitated to ask the Sect Master for them. Yet he never imagined, at this moment, the Sect Master would voluntarily offer that heap of cultivation resources including those treasures for the two female immortals to freely select and take away...

At this moment, the Gale Immortal Emperor suspected that Tang Wenrou and Ye Wumei, the two female immortals, might be illegitimate daughters born from the Sect Master joining with other female immortals during his experiences outside.

Otherwise, why would he treat them so well? 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

He treated them so well that a seasoned old fellow like himself, who has cultivated a steadfast mind for thousands of years, couldn’t help but feel jealous.

"The Tempest Immortal Emperor has good intentions, don’t be shy!"

Fang Bai said to the dumbfounded Tang Wenrou and Ye Wumei.

"Umm... Upper Immortal, this is our first meeting too..."

Wu De stepped forward, pointed at the pile of cultivation resources, swallowed hard, and shamelessly said, "Does this meeting gift include us?"

By "us," he meant himself and the Lightning Mink.

He knew the Lightning Mink was shy and proud; even if he really wanted something, he wouldn’t actively ask for it. For the sake of brotherhood, he decided to help him out.

"You didn’t forget Master Mink after all. Count yourself fortunate for being loyal, Wu Old Taoist! Hmm, next time when vying for cultivation resources, Master Mink will let you have some!"

Even though the Lightning Mink remained aloof, a warm feeling emerged in its heart.

As Wu De imagined, the things the Tempest Immortal Emperor put forth were all good stuff. Any single item could ignite madness among Immortals in the Immortal Realm. Upon seeing them, the Lightning Mink was similarly motivated, though its noble nature as an "aristocrat" among immortal beasts ensured it wouldn’t beg insistently.

Of course, except for Fang Bai.

The Lightning Mink was extremely sensitive to cultivation resources. When the Tempest Immortal Emperor poured out those resources, it immediately knew they were treasures far surpassing King Grade. If not for considering the Tempest Immortal Emperor and Gale Immortal Emperor, it would have already rushed forward to devour the pile of resources.

The Tempest Immortal Emperor looked at Wu De and the Lightning Mink, then turned his gaze to Fang Bai, waiting for him to introduce them.

Fang Bai pointed at Wu De and the Lightning Mink said, "Wu De, Little Mink. They are considered disciples of the Emperor’s Palace now."

The Tempest Immortal Emperor’s gaze returned to Wu De and the Lightning Mink, nodding, "An immortal with a Dual Attribute Innate Spiritual Root, an immortal beast with extraordinary lineage... You certainly have good fortune, recruiting disciples for the Emperor’s Palace who either have Innate Spiritual Roots or exceptional aptitude, which truly makes me envious!"

"Just lucky to come across them!"

Fang Bai said with a smile.

"After these two female immortals have chosen, you may pick some items as well!"

Being disciples of the Emperor’s Palace and esteemed by Fang Bai, the Tempest Immortal Emperor found joy in extending this spontaneous courtesy.

"Thank you, Upper Immortal!"

Wu De excitedly rubbed his palms, tilted his head to wink at the Lightning Mink, showing some pride as if saying, "See? Taoist Master is impressive!"

The Lightning Mink’s exterior showed no sign of emotion, but inwardly it couldn’t help being excited while scanning the pile of cultivation resources, planning on what to choose.

Seeing Tang Wenrou and Ye Wumei looking at the pile of cultivation resources, clearly tempted yet hesitant to choose, Fang Bai scanned them briefly, reached out to grab virtually, and a few treasures flew into his hand.

"Ah..."

When the Gale Immortal Emperor saw those treasures Fang Bai seized, one was his favored piece; hesitating, he opened his mouth slightly.

"If you won’t choose, I’ll choose for you! If you like them, keep them!"

Fang Bai said and handed those treasures to Tang Wenrou and Ye Wumei.

Fang Bai and the two women were empathetically connected; therefore, he picked treasures that Tang Wenrou and Ye Wumei desired.

"Thank you!"

Ye Wumei gave Fang Bai a charming smile.

Even Tang Wenrou showed a hint of a smile towards Fang Bai.

"Now it’s your turn!"

Fang Bai said to Wu De and the Lightning Mink, "The Tempest Immortal Emperor is giving you face, so each should pick just three to five items, don’t be too greedy!"

Fang Bai had to remind them because he knew the Fat Taoist was not only thick-skinned but also quite greedy for cultivation resources. Ever since Fang Bai met him, this guy performed a lot of sneaky activities. Especially in the Immortal Realm, many places storing cultivation resources in weaker immortals’ sects left traces of his presence.

As for the Lightning Mink, without restraint, the pile of cultivation resources wouldn’t satisfy its appetite.

Though he wouldn’t mind these cultivation resources since he and the Tempest Immortal Emperor were old friends, Fang Bai would feel embarrassed if Wu De and the Lightning Mink were to grab wildly.
