Soon, several female cultivators greeted them, exchanging a few laughs with Ziyun. They moved aside, speaking of intimate secrets as if they were sisters.
Meanwhile, Ji Hai and Li Xuanji ascended to the Celestial Secret Seventh Floor, sitting atop the Observatory Platform. There, fine wine and delicacies were served as the two drank together.
Three rounds of wine, five flavors of dishes.
Ji Hai suddenly stood up, bowing deeply, and raised his cup, saying, "Junior has come with a request for Senior Brother Li. To be frank, the Bingli Island of the Great Li Dynasty is where I became a Daoist; it must not suffer any mishap... If Senior Brother assists, I will follow your lead in the Imperial Extreme Hall and fully support your bid for the chief position."
This promise was significant.
If anyone else said this, Li Xuanji wouldn't even listen, but instead spit it out dismissively.
However, with Ji Hai saying it, Li Xuanji believed him.
