Chapter 4313 — The Divine Nun of the East Sea
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Eh? Young hero, you don't even know that? The Divine Nun of the East Sea—that's none other than the lady vice-director up on the stage, the one at the Mountain-Opening stage!" Ge Wei shot Wei Zhao a look of pure puzzlement. Perhaps no one present knew who Wang Xinyan was, but those who had never heard of the Divine Nun of the East Sea were few and far between. After all, she, like Director Ling Yuanqing, was one of the signature figures of Morning Star Academy.
"What? She is the Divine Nun of the East Sea?" Wei Zhao was all the more taken aback. He had suspected as much before, but now that he knew Wang Xinyan really was this lady vice-director's disciple, he could not help but be startled.
For a newcomer from the secular world who, only a year ago, had not even ranked among Foundation Establishment experts, to actually be taken under the wing of a mighty Mountain-Opening cultivator like the Divine Nun of the East Sea, and now to possess the formidable strength of the early Nascent Soul stage—Wang Xinyan's fortunes were truly beyond words.
Wei Zhao had always felt that his own experiences and the rate of his progress in strength were already outrageous enough, beyond what ordinary people would even dare to imagine. Yet compared with Wang Xinyan, they paled into insignificance; there was simply no comparing the two. So it turned out that this confidante of his was the true darling of heaven!
"Yes. Not only is she the Divine Nun's disciple, she is also the one and only personal disciple the Divine Nun has ever accepted to this day. Rumor has it the Divine Nun cherishes her like the apple of her eye—one imagines she could hardly dote more on her own daughter," Ge Wei said, speaking fluently to Wei Zhao and Huang Xiaotao. "So, because the Divine Nun of the East Sea stands behind her, her standing at Morning Star Academy—indeed, throughout the entire Gaolin Sea Region of the Eastern Continent—is incomparably exalted. She is acknowledged throughout the Gaolin Sea Region as one of the Three Fairies, and her name is Wang Xinyan."
"The Three Fairies?" Wei Zhao was slightly taken aback again at this.
"Indeed. The Three Fairies are acknowledged by public opinion throughout the Gaolin Sea Region as possessing both strength and beauty, and each of them has deep roots and powerful backing. They are the collective objects of admiration and pursuit for every disciple of every academy in the Gaolin Sea Region—one might even call them the region's universal goddesses without exaggeration," Ge Wei said with a face full of admiration.
"I see." Wei Zhao nodded in sudden understanding. By that account, the Three Fairies must be the very pinnacle of all female cultivators in the Gaolin Sea Region of the Eastern Continent. Wang Xinyan had come from the secular world, yet had managed to rank among them—that was truly the stuff of legend.
"In the Gaolin Sea Region of the Eastern Continent, the gifted prodigies among the many academies are beyond counting, and the Three Fairies are likewise the dream goddesses of those prodigies. There are even betting pools in the streets over whose house the Three Fairies will ultimately end up in." Though he was selling information to Wei Zhao, Ge Wei clearly relished recounting such matters himself.
"People are taking bets on that?" Wei Zhao's eyebrows rose slightly.
"Oh yes. The craze has only grown fiercer and has now swept across the entire Gaolin Sea Region. Young lords of great noble houses, top-tier prodigies of heaven-defying aptitude, the finest experts ranked first on the academies' combat-power lists—all of them are named in the pools, and all of them have launched their offensives on the Three Fairies. I hear someone is already close to winning one of them over." Ge Wei seemed to have an encyclopedic grasp of such gossip. The Eastern Continent was separated from the Southern Continent by several thousand li—where he got his information, no one could say.
