I Am the Source of Darkness, Causing Chaos in the Eternal Heavens

Chapter 23 Almost a Golden Legend, Two Sons of Luck

Although Xiao Hongdou had never seen Jiang Minghan in person, she was certain that the young man on the platform was him.

She stood there, stunned, her mind buzzing and blank.

“Miss Hongdou, why are you staring at me…”

Suddenly, Jiang Minghan chuckled, breaking the silence in the hall, his gaze carrying a hint of curiosity.

“Hon… Hongdou greets Young Master Jiang.”

Hearing his words, Xiao Hongdou snapped back to reality, her fair face turning red as she hurriedly knelt to greet him.

She glanced at her younger brother, who remained calm the entire time, and tried to pull him to kneel as well.

But Xiao Hongdou felt as if she were trying to move an immovable rock.

“Xiao Yan, quickly greet Young Master Jiang…”

She whispered anxiously.

However, everyone present was a cultivator, and their cultivation was profound. They easily heard her words, their gazes filled with interest.

Many influential figures looked at Xiao Yan, dressed in a green robe with a calm and extraordinary demeanor.

So, this was the rumored fool from Qingxu Holy Land?

A Body Realm cultivator.

In such a setting, not only was he not nervous, but he remained extremely calm.

For a moment, they were all intrigued. Was he really a fool, or was there another reason?

“Sister…”

“Greetings, Young Master Jiang.”

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Hongdou, feeling somewhat helpless, but he still politely greeted Jiang Minghan, though he did not kneel.

Throughout the years, even when facing an emperor, he had never knelt.

Although Jiang Minghan was the young master of the hidden immortal clan, he was not worthy of such respect.

As a reincarnator of nine lifetimes, Xiao Yan had his pride.

“Miss Hongdou, please rise. There’s no need for such formality.”

Jiang Minghan spoke gently, his demeanor kind, his voice warm, not as aloof and imposing as Xiao Hongdou had imagined, easing much of her anxiety.

“Since your master did not come, having you two is sufficient.”

He said, not blaming their master for his absence, then nodded slightly, signaling the city lord to start the banquet.

The influential figures in the hall cupped their hands towards Jiang Minghan, then took their seats.

Xiao Hongdou exhaled a long breath, but continued to secretly glance at Jiang Minghan, feeling that he was even more dazzling in person, like a young celestial being exuding immortal charm.

Seeing Jiang Minghan notice her gaze and smile warmly, her face turned red again, and she quickly looked away.

Soon, the banquet began. Beautiful maids carried jade plates of delicacies and spirit fruits, all glowing with spiritual light, some meats even emanating an astonishing aura.

Xiao Hongdou and Xiao Yan took their seats. Although Xiao Hongdou felt a bit uneasy, the calm atmosphere and the fact that no influential figures disturbed them gradually calmed her down.

She soon became engrossed in the exotic foods and spirit fruits she had never seen before.

Jiang Minghan sipped his wine, his eyes calm and natural, but his mind was filled with various thoughts.

He had originally come for the Book of Death, but hearing about the siblings from Qingxu Holy Land gave him a strange feeling.

A master who was always drunk, a younger brother who had been foolish since childhood due to illness.

Yet Xiao Hongdou was incredibly beautiful, with low cultivation, but had survived all these years.

If there was nothing strange about this, he wouldn’t believe it.

So, he dispatched his follower Chu Xuan, who discovered that Xiao Hongdou’s foolish younger brother had recently recovered and was no longer foolish. When someone harassed Xiao Hongdou, he even showed killing intent.

Chu Xuan, the demonic son of the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, had an extraordinary sense of killing intent, having grown up in a sea of corpses and blood.

Upon learning this, Jiang Minghan concluded that Xiao Hongdou’s younger brother was not an ordinary person. How could a foolish person show killing intent in such a situation?

Most likely, he was a reincarnated strongman or someone who had awakened past-life memories, a typical Son of Luck.

Moreover, he felt that Xiao Hongdou’s crippled master was also unusual.

However, upon meeting them today, Jiang Minghan was somewhat surprised.

Xiao Yan was definitely a Son of Luck, but his luck level was only green, almost blue.

In other words, he was quite common.

In contrast, Xiao Hongdou… had a hint of noble gold within her purple aura.

Almost a golden legend.

However, Jiang Minghan was still uncertain about Xiao Hongdou’s type of luck. He hadn’t seen anything special about her.

“Could it be just due to abundant fortune…”

“If that’s the case, Qingxu Holy Land is quite extraordinary, producing two Sons of Luck and a remarkable crippled elder.”

Thinking of this, Jiang Minghan became more interested.

Having abundant fortune didn’t necessarily mean being a Son of Luck; the two were not equivalent.

Disciples of great sects naturally had plenty of fortune, but their heavenly favor was far less than that of Sons of Luck.

This was due to the different levels of luck.

Sons of Luck might have humble beginnings compared to great sect disciples, even starting from extremely low status.

But as time passed, they would grow far beyond those born into wealth and powerful backgrounds.

The gap between the two was stark.
