Saint Luoyan descends upon the Immortal Platform, commanding those present to kneel. The Saint issues two decrees: first, to clear eight hundred li around Cloud Tide Island, and second, to select three hundred talented youths to hear their teachings. Then, the Saint announces a review of governance, inviting anyone with grievances to come forward.

Chapter 385 [You!!]

Even though Gu Qingyi’s temperament was strong, she still gathered all her spirit when meeting the Saint, slightly lowering her hands, bowing solemnly, and walked quickly across the square towards the grand hall.

The main gate of that grand hall was as imposing as a rainbow, and once she stepped over the threshold, her eyes were filled with golden light.

Inside the grand hall, the originally carved murals, the mythical Divine Beasts and Immortals carved into them seemed to come alive under the treasure light.

The front of the hall is dedicated to the current forty-two Saints of the Domain Realm. However, Saints do not have statues, so only inscriptions are erected, but beneath each inscription, an item once used by the Saint is dedicated.

These may not necessarily be top-tier Magical Artifacts, but things the Saints truly used before, even mundane objects.

This grand hall is inaccessible to others, but actually, Gu Qingyi had heard her father describe the interior when she was young—a dignified patriarch of the Gu Family naturally had the qualification to enter this Saint’s grand hall.

It was remembered that the father said the objects of Saints dedicated in the hall were extraordinary and bizarre. The ordinary ones dedicated were weapons and swords used by the Saints, or letters and paintings written by the Saints.

The strangest ones included a stone the Saint slept on during cultivation in mountain wilderness in youth.

The forty-two Saints of the Domain Realm held positions at the top, inscriptions were erect.

Yet there is order, from high to low, totaling eight layers.

At the top, inscriptions of the two Great Celestial Venerables are highest, placed centrally, and inscriptions of the four Earth Venerables are on the next layer.

Below are six layers of inscriptions, each layer has six Venerables.

Since childhood, Gu Qingyi had heard from her father that the inscription of the Gu Family’s Ancestor Saint was on the fourth layer, second on the left from the top.

The dedicated item of Gu Family’s Ancestor Saint was not any Magical Artifact, but an inkstone used by the Ancestor for cultivation in youth, carved from ordinary mountain stone.

It was said that Gu Family’s Ancestor Saint, in youth, his cultivation was not profound, followed the Gu Family’s Combat Technique path, advanced in cultivation and became too bloodthirsty. So to temper himself, he forced himself to learn reading and writing.

Practicing for thirty years, whether his bloodthirstiness rounded off or not was unknown, but he truly practiced a good hand at calligraphy.

That inkstone was left by the Gu Family’s Ancestor and is now dedicated in this grand hall.

When Gu Qingyi walked in, she vaguely felt that in the very front of the grand hall, beneath the eight rows of inscriptions, on the platform in the middle, stood a figure.

Merely that figure was completely enveloped in golden light, dazzling and blinding, making it impossible to see the face.

Knowing that a Saint was present, Gu Qingyi obediently knelt slowly on one knee.

"Under Xiantai Battle Department, Town General of Snow Cliff Pass, Gu Family’s Daughter Qingyi, meeting the Saint!"

After speaking, she strongly lowered her head, not daring to look at the golden figure above.

But after waiting for a while, not hearing the expected words of the Saint, Gu Qingyi felt her body tense, as if she was enveloped by an immense Divine Thought!

The intensity of that Divine Sense seemed to see through her entirely.

In an instant, it was like an ant standing under a towering mountain, as if the Saint before her could easily crush her to powder with just Divine Thought and Divine Sense!

Finally, after quite some time, a gentle laugh came from above.

Afterward, Gu Qingyi felt the taste of being enveloped by Divine Thought instantly vanish, as the Saint withdrew the Divine Sense.

"Gu Family’s Daughter Qingyi? I recall your name shouldn’t be this.

In this generation of Gu Family, your father named the eldest son Jinjia, the second son Yinyi. I heard you are the fourth daughter, so your name naturally shouldn’t be Qingyi but Tieding?"

Upon hearing this, even facing the Saint, Gu Qingyi couldn’t help but be stunned, instinctively twitching her eye corners.

No way, you’re a dignified Saint, how can you curse like this!

Which decent family gives a girl the name Tieding!

I find my name unpleasant and changed it myself, is it not okay?!

If someone else spoke mockingly like this, given her identity as the proud daughter and phoenix of the Gu Family, she wouldn’t resist throwing a punch.

But it was the Saint speaking, Gu Qingyi... dared not.

Not even if her father came, who would dare?

Yet inside she was still angry.

Holding back repeatedly, Gu Qingyi finally exhaled and slowly said with her head lowered, "Thank the Saint for kindness, but my humble name dares not enter Saint’s ears. The name Qingyi is self-chosen."

"...Alas."

The Saint surprisingly sighed deeply: "It’s tough on you, your father is brainless, how could anyone give a girl the name Tieding?"

Oh my, this Saint understands me!

Hearing this, Gu Qingyi’s tears almost fell!

But the next sentence, the Saint added a piece that made Gu Qingyi’s heart completely sink.

"I calculated your destiny and Life Chart, your name should still be Gu Tieding, I suppose the family record hasn’t changed.

I know your Gu Family had a marriage contract, it was personally inscribed by the Great Celestial Venerable, with your name, birth Eight Characters, Life Chart destiny, written by the Great Celestial Venerable’s Supreme Mana.

Normally, if someone didn’t like their name, they could change it themselves.

But alas your name is written on the marriage contract, and the contract is written into destiny. Therefore, even if you change your name, it doesn’t count, the Heavenly Dao doesn’t acknowledge it.

Thus if you truly wish to change your name, no matter how many times you speak it yourself it won’t count, you must ask your family’s Ancestor Saint to intervene, then have him ask the Great Celestial Venerable who wrote the marriage contract to change your name."
