Pei Xuan had already informed these Buddha Fairies that he would attend this ceremony, so when they saw Pei Xuan here, except for a few young fairies who looked evasive, there was no other reaction, as if they had never met him before.
When all those who were supposed to arrive were seated, the coronation ceremony officially began at the appointed time. A solemn and melodious music sounded, and the powerful sound, amplified by magic, spread to every corner of Xuanyuan Temple.
Amidst the endless sound of music, Xu Peirong, dressed in a black robe, descended from the sky and stood at the other end of the square.
With Xu Peirong's arrival, the ordinary disciples at the end of the team immediately shouted the slogan in unison: "The Tao is infinite, creating the universe!"
"Virtue matches heaven and earth, and shines brightly in the world!"
...
Amid the slogans of the disciples, Xu Peirong flew forward slowly without touching the ground. With the arrival of Xu Peirong, the disciples along the way joined in the slogan-chanting. The momentum gradually grew and finally drowned out the sound of the music.
It was not until Xu Peirong flew into the hall from outside the square that the shouting outside the door gradually subsided.
Xu Peirong, looking as light as a fairy, flew over the fellow disciples and guests on both sides, and stopped only after she reached the bottom of the platform. She turned around to face everyone, looking as stern and majestic as autumn frost. No one could tell that there was still a man's semen in her black silk panties.
At this time, an octogenarian Taoist priest who was sitting at the front of the elders stood up, walked slowly to Xu Peirong's side, bowed and presented a Taoist crown made of white jade, and said respectfully: "Please give me the Nine-Light Lotus Crown!"
Xu Peirong did not answer, but reached out to take the white jade Taoist crown and slowly put it on her head.
Then, the old Taoist priest took out a white jade ring and offered it again, saying loudly, "Please give me the Five Thunder Suppressing Ring, Master!"
Xu Peirong still didn't say anything, but took the ring directly, slowly put it on her hand, and then held it high for everyone in the hall to see.
Finally, the old Taoist priest did not take out anything else. Instead, he bowed to Xu Peirong with his empty hands and said loudly: "Please, Master, I will give you the Purple Palace Returning Origin Seat!"
After hearing the old Taoist priest's cry, Xu Peirong turned around, jumped lightly, flew onto the platform, landed steadily on the white jade cushion that was hanging high above, and sat cross-legged on it.
Xu Peirong was publicly adorned with the Nine-Light Lotus Crown, the Five Thunder Suppressing Ring, and the Purple Palace Returning Origin Seat, known as the three most precious treasures of Xuanyuan Temple. This officially marked her as the abbot of Xuanyuan Temple. All the elders and senior fellow disciples below the dais stood up and bowed to Xu Peirong, who was seated on the Purple Palace Returning Origin Seat. They shouted in unison, "Your Taoism is boundless, you have created the universe! Your virtue matches heaven and earth, and you bring glory to Xuanyuan Sect!"
The guests on the other side also stood up and bowed to Xu Peirong in congratulations.
When the shouting died down, Du Ruoyun and representatives from various major sects presented Xu Peirong with valuable gifts one by one to express their goodwill for a permanent alliance.
After going through untold hardships, Xu Peirong finally got her wish and was officially sworn in as the head of Xuanyuan Temple in a grand ceremony. Even Xu Peirong, who was usually very proud, couldn't help but smile with satisfaction at this moment.
Even though the sticky discomfort in her lower body had not gone away, it could not offset Xu Peirong's unprecedented good mood.
After the ceremony, the disciples in the square dispersed one after another, and delicious food and wine were served one after another on the square table in front of everyone in the hall. The second half of the ceremony, that is, the celebration banquet began. Pei Xuan, who had not had time to eat breakfast, had the opportunity to feast on it.
The banquet lasted from noon until three in the afternoon before it was declared over. Everyone dispersed, and Pei Xuan followed Du Ruoyun and Yu Fei back to their respective residences.
After having a good meal and a drink, Pei Xuan couldn't help but feel sleepy, so he went to bed and fell asleep, making up for the lack of sleep in the morning.
When Pei Xuan woke up again, he found that it was already dark outside and it was time to go to bed, but Pei Xuan naturally had no desire to sleep at this time.
He was just hesitating about whether to go out and have some fun when he heard the doorbell of his room ring.
Pei Xuan got up from the bed, went downstairs and opened the door, only to see Xu Tianqiong, who had not appeared during the day, kneeling upright at the door.
"Oh, it's Elder Xu."
Pei Xuan smiled slightly, "You're kneeling here, aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
"Master, the people living on this floor are all... all familiar to you. Even if they find out, I have nothing to fear."
Xu Tianqiong said in a delicate voice, "What's more, except for the master's mother and Fairy Du, everyone else is gone..."
"Really? They left so soon?" Pei Xuan couldn't help but feel a little angry. "I didn't even have the chance to see them!"
"Master, you misunderstood. They have all gone to the main hall and are waiting for your arrival. Because your master has not come yet, your aunt ordered this humble servant to come and ask."
Xu Tianqiong said, "Isn't this what the master arranged a few days ago? Could it be that the master forgot?"
After hearing what Xu Tianqiong said, Pei Xuan remembered that he had arranged this program a long time ago. He slept so soundly today that he forgot about it for a while.
Pei Xuan suddenly became excited and immediately said to Xu Tianqiong, "I understand. You go back first and tell them that I will be there later."
"Yes, Master\~"
After hearing Pei Xuan's words, Xu Tianqiong immediately went back to report, while Pei Xuan knocked on the door of the next room and called out Du Ruoyun and Yu Fei.
"My dear mothers, please come with me to the grand event."
Pei Xuan said happily, "I promise, this is even more unmissable than the coronation ceremony during the day."
"Grand event? What kind of grand event?" Du Ruoyun couldn't help but become curious. "Master, please tell me something specific..."
"Don't worry, you'll understand when you get there."
Pei Xuan deliberately kept the question in suspense, so Du Ruoyun and Yu Fei didn't dare to ask any more questions. They just followed Pei Xuan obediently and headed towards the main hall together.
They walked along the avenue during the day, which was very quiet at this time. Pei Xuan led them into the main hall, flew onto the high platform, walked behind the statue of Nuwa, opened the elevator, and after entering, opened the hidden small cover to reveal a mysterious button.
Pei Xuan pressed the button confidently, and the elevator started immediately, but it did not go up but sank. After a while, the elevator stopped and the iron door opened automatically. In front of the door was a long and narrow corridor. On the right side of the corridor wall was a door, and white light was emitted from inside the door.
"I didn't expect that there would be such an underground space beneath the main hall of Xuanyuan Temple."
Du Ruoyun couldn't help but sigh, "I've never heard of this before, not even as a rumor."
"That's right, this is a secret place that was originally known only to the successive masters of Xuanyuan Temple."
Pei Xuan smiled slightly and walked in front to lead the way. "I just found out about this a few days ago, and today is my first time coming in."
Du Ruoyun and Yu Fei followed Pei Xuan and walked into the door at the same time. Everything in front of them suddenly became clear. In the rectangular room under the gorgeous ceiling light, there were rows of wide sofas placed under the two long walls, and at the end of the room was a tall chair with intricate decorations, like a throne.
But apart from these facilities, the most eye-catching thing is the graceful women sitting on the sofa. They are all wearing long dresses of different styles and wearing ancient masks on their faces, making it impossible to see their true appearance.
When the women saw Pei Xuan coming in, they all stood up from the sofa, saluted him together, and said in unison: "Welcome to the master\~"
Although these women in front of me have concealed their looks, just from their elegant and graceful manners and pleasant voices, I can tell that they are all top-notch beauties.
Looking at so many beauties calling Pei Xuan their master, not only was Yu Fei, who had never seen such a scene, stunned, but even Du Ruoyun, who knew Pei Xuan very well, could not hide her surprise. She wondered when and where Pei Xuan had conquered these beauties.
Unlike the surprised Du Ruoyun and Yu Fei, Pei Xuan just smiled calmly when he saw them. He walked among the girls and sat down on the luxurious chair at the end of the room without any hesitation. Du Ruoyun and Yu Fei could only follow him to the end of the room and stand on both sides of Pei Xuan.
As soon as Pei Xuan sat down, he waved his hand and the masked women sat back on the sofa.
Du Ruoyun, standing by, was still sizing up the women on the sofa with a searching gaze, trying to discern their true identities. Pei Xuan smiled faintly and said to Du Ruoyun, "Fairy Du, do you know what this evening's event is?"
"To answer the master, I don't know."
After hearing Pei Xuan's question, Du Ruoyun retracted her gaze and smiled knowingly, "But it's obvious that this is definitely an activity that is not suitable for children."
"Haha, that's true."
Pei Xuan laughed heartily twice before continuing, "Tonight is the get-together for the six major sects. The first activity at this get-together is naturally self-introductions and getting to know each other. Fairy Du, you don't belong to one of the six major sects, you're an outsider, so you'll be the first to go."
After hearing Pei Xuan's words, Du Ruoyun realized that these graceful masked beauties were the leaders of the major sects who had sat with her during the day.
Du Ruoyun was not familiar with them. Now that they had taken off their original martial arts attire and put on evening gowns popular among the Chang'an nobles, and also put on masks, it was normal that she could not recognize them.
"Everyone, my name is Du Ruoyun. I come from the Du family, one of the eight great families in Chang'an. I currently serve as the director of the Imperial College."
Du Ruoyun faced the women on the sofa and introduced herself while clasping her fists. "You all know my identities in front of outsiders. Besides that, I have another identity, that of the master's slave girl."
After saying that, Du Ruoyun bent her knees, knelt down, and gently placed a kiss on the instep of Pei Xuan's feet as a symbol of submission.
"Very good, very good, that's it."
Pei Xuan reached out and helped Du Ruoyun up, then turned to Yu Fei on the other side and whispered, "Mother, would you like to introduce yourself?"
"No... I don't want to..."
Yu Fei was not willing to reveal her identity and admit to the scandal of mother-son adultery in such an occasion. She waved her hands in panic. Pei Xuan did not force her. Turning to face the masked beauties in front of him, he smiled and said, "Since that's the case, let's begin tonight's main event. Who will go first?"
As Pei Xuan finished speaking, a plump, masked beauty stood up from the sofa and walked in front of him. She then turned around, facing the women, raised her hand to remove her mask, and said loudly, "Everyone, my name is Xu Tianqiong, and I am one of the nine elders of Xuanyuan Temple. In addition, I am also one of the master's female slaves, and I have been serving the master for over a month."
After saying that, Xu Tianqiong turned around again, knelt down, and gently kissed Pei Xuan's instep.
This is the secret realm of Xuanyuan Temple. As the host, the person who prepared this party is Xu Tianqiong.
The women changed their clothes and put on masks outside, and were then brought here one by one by Xu Tianqiong. They could not recognize each other, but they had no doubt about Xu Tianqiong's identity.
Therefore, the girls reacted calmly to Xu Tianqiong's self-introduction.
"Elder Xu, you've worked hard."
Pei Xuan patted Xu Tianqiong's cheek approvingly and said, "You did a great job organizing this party. I'll give you a commendation."
"Thank you, Master\~" Xu Tianqiong bent down again and kowtowed to Pei Xuan to express his gratitude. Then he stood up according to the procedure and returned to his seat on the sofa, leaving the mask under Pei Xuan's seat.
As soon as Xu Tianqiong stepped back, two more masked beauties stood up and came to Pei Xuan's chair together. They faced the women and took off their masks at the same time.
"I am Xu Mengwei, a disciple of Xuanyuan Temple---"
"I am Huang Yingzhi, a disciple of Xuanyuan Temple---"
Xu Mengwei and Huang Yingzhi first gave their names respectively, then looked at each other, held hands and said in unison: "We are all the master's slaves!" After that, the two beautiful little nuns turned around and knelt down, one in front and one behind, kissing Pei Xuan's instep.
"You're right, that's enough."
Pei Xuan reached out and helped Huang Yingzhi up, but then said to Xu Mengwei, "And you, you forgot to say one thing---what is your relationship with Elder Xu just now?"
"In reply to the master, this humble slave is Elder Xu's niece."
Xu Mengwei answered Pei Xuan's question, then turned around and loudly repeated to the other girls, "I am Elder Xu's niece!"
"Well, he admits his mistakes and can correct them. He is still teachable."
Pei Xuan nodded and helped the nervous Xu Mengwei up. "I won't punish you this time."
After Xu Mengwei and Huang Yingzhi introduced themselves, they also took off their masks and sat back on the sofa.
Immediately afterwards, another masked beauty stood up. She was plump and charming, obviously a mature woman with great charm.
She walked in front of the women with elegant and charming lotus steps and slowly took off her mask. This time, a few masked beauties who had lost their composure were surprised and moved slightly, because the mature and charming beauty who had just taken off the mask was Xu Peirong, who had officially taken over as the master of Xuanyuan Temple during the day, the Heart Sword Fairy who was as stern as autumn frost.
"My name is Xu Peirong, known as the Heart Sword Fairy in the martial arts world. I just took over as the head of Xuanyuan Temple a few hours ago. At the coronation ceremony, I was drinking and having fun with everyone, chatting and laughing."
Xu Peirong's calm gaze swept across the masks before her, and she said in a deep voice, "Besides that, I am also one of the master's female slaves, and I have been serving the master for over a month."
After saying that, Xu Peirong turned around, knelt down, and kissed Pei Xuan's instep.
"Master Xu, have you forgotten what you were supposed to say?"
Pei Xuan gave Xu Peirong a cold look, and Xu Peirong immediately understood. She quickly turned around and said loudly to the girls, "The elder Xu Tianqiong from before is my niece, and the Xu Mengwei just now is my great-niece..."
The relationship between Xu Peirong and Xu Tianqiong as aunt and niece is naturally known to everyone in the world. Xu Mengwei is of little influence and is not very familiar to outsiders, but after she admitted her relationship with Xu Tianqiong just now, the women naturally understood the relationship between the three members of this family.
But even though it was clear, it was also very important to let Xu Peirong say it in person in front of all the girls.
"Your grandniece made a mistake, and now you're making the same mistake again."
Pei Xuan sighed exaggeratedly and said in a deep voice, "Master Xu, it seems you have to be punished."
"Since this lowly slave has done something wrong, he should be punished."
Xu Peirong knew that it was useless to argue with Pei Xuan, and it would only increase his anger, so she simply admitted her fault, "Master, please punish me as you wish. I am willing to accept it..."
"Okay, then I'll punish you with twenty slaps on the face."
Pei Xuan nodded, "Lift your face up."
After hearing Pei Xuan's words, Xu Peirong, who had been lowering her head and looking at Pei Xuan, raised her head and looked directly at Pei Xuan. Pei Xuan looked at Xu Peirong's beautiful face, raised his hand and slapped her. The sound of "slap" was so loud that all the women present heard it clearly, as if it was right next to their own ears.
Seeing the red palm print on one side of Xu Peirong's face, Pei Xuan slapped her on the other side of the face. Suddenly, both sides of Xu Peirong's face swelled slightly and were covered with red marks.
"I'm tired."
Pei Xuan slapped twice and then stopped, saying lazily, "Alright, you can give the remaining eighteen slaps yourself."
"...Yes, Master..."
After hearing Pei Xuan's words, Xu Peirong ignored the burning pain on her face, raised her right hand and slapped herself. The strength in her hand was even greater than that used by Pei Xuan just now.
Xu Peirong understood that Pei Xuan's request for her to slap her in the face was not a way of letting her off, but rather a test and punishment. If she slapped her too lightly, Pei Xuan would most likely give her a more severe punishment, and then the result would be more trouble than gain.
Although Xu Peirong also has a strong tolerance and even a hobby for pain and humiliation, she is not the shameless Xu Tianqiong after all. In such occasions, she still wants to retain some minimum dignity.
