**Chapter 2831: He's Just a Follower**
Lu Fengyao and Lin Moyu walked through the winding waterway to the main pavilion.
The Saintess of the Immortal Lotus, Dongfang Wuwen, and Tianhuan Shengzi almost simultaneously stood up, looking at Lu Fengyao as if paying their respects. The Rainbow Saintess and Gu Bichuan also stood up, looking over.
However, the two of them were a bit puzzled. Although Lu Fengyao was the heir of the Lu Feng Merchant Association, they were also saintesses of top forces.
Moreover, everyone present was in the Dao Sovereign Second Realm, while Lu Fengyao was only in the Dao Sovereign First Realm.
Why did it seem like they were showing respect to Lu Fengyao?
Until Lu Fengyao entered the pavilion, the Saintess of the Immortal Lotus smiled, "Lin Daoyou, Sister Fengyao, you finally arrived."
Dongfang Wuwen and Tianhuan Shengzi also cupped their fists, "Congratulations, Lin Daoyou, on your recovery."
Lin Moyu also smiled, "Thank you, fellow Daoists, for your concern. I'm fine now."
It was then that the Rainbow Saintess and Gu Bichuan realized that it wasn't because of Lu Fengyao but because of Lin Moyu.
What qualities did Lin Moyu possess to receive such treatment from them?
When they heard that their spot was to be given to Lin Moyu, both were strongly opposed and unwilling.
Unfortunately, their words didn't carry much weight; the decision was ultimately made by the elders of the sect.
They were indeed Heavenly Prides, but the elders in the sect were once Heavenly Prides too.
Their status as Heavenly Prides was of no use when facing their elders.
Both had previously speculated whether Lin Moyu had a special relationship with Lu Fengyao, but now this speculation was completely overturned.
The reactions of the Saintess of the Immortal Lotus and the others indicated that Lin Moyu's spot wasn't due to any relationship with Lu Fengyao; there must be another reason.
Both were quick to react and immediately greeted Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu smiled and returned the greeting, still addressing them as fellow Daoists.
At this moment, Lin Moyu already regarded them as peers, no longer as humble as before.
As everyone sat down, the Saintess of the Immortal Lotus

Swept across the table, and exquisite dishes appeared on the table.
For a moment, the aroma filled the courtyard.
The aroma seemed to contain a certain power of the Great Dao, enticing everyone's appetite.
Each dish was a spiritual food, and a very high-end one at that, not something those below the Heavenly Sovereign realm could eat.
Eating it wouldn't be beneficial and might even be harmful.
Dongfang Wuwen laughed, "I've been longing for the spiritual food of the Ancient Lotus Holy Land for a long time."
Tianhuan Shengzi also laughed, "The spiritual food of the Ancient Lotus Holy Land is the best in the Southern Continent. Today, I must enjoy it."
Lu Fengyao also laughed, "I haven't had it in a long time. Sister Xianlian is thoughtful."
The Rainbow Saintess and Gu Bichuan also knew that the spiritual food of the Ancient Lotus Holy Land was unparalleled, but ordinary people couldn't taste it.
They didn't expect the Saintess of the Immortal Lotus to prepare spiritual food today, showing how much she valued this gathering.
The Saintess of the Immortal Lotus smiled, "Fellow Daoists, please eat first. We'll talk after eating."
In the secondary pavilion, the table was also set with food, but it was much inferior to that in the main pavilion.
The four people there stared at the main pavilion, unable to believe it.
"Why is Lin Moyu sitting there?"
"What qualifies him to sit with the Heavenly Prides?"
"When they greeted, it was all directed at Lin Moyu. Does that mean Lin Moyu has an extraordinary status?"
"He's clearly just Fengyao Fairy's follower. Why is this happening? It's really strange and puzzling."
They were filled with doubts, unable to explain it.
Gu Nianshui's beautiful eyes sparkled. Lin Moyu surprised her time and again, leaving her behind each time.
She once thought that with the inheritance of the Star Lord, she would surely become a Heavenly Pride, shining in her era.
But compared to Lin Moyu, she was still far behind, and the gap was widening.
The desire to compete with Lin Moyu was diminishing, almost extinguished.
"What kind of person are you?"
...
They enjoyed the high-end spiritual food of the Ancient Lotus Holy Land, praising it repeatedly.
At this moment, the saint sons and saintesses didn't seem to care much about their image.
At their level, ordinary spiritual food was no longer appealing, and their desire for food had long diminished.
Only this kind of spiritual food containing the power of the Great Dao could stimulate their appetite.
They chatted while eating, gradually becoming familiar with each other.
Lin Moyu could clearly feel that the Rainbow Saintess and Gu Bichuan looked at him with an unusual gaze, with a hint of defiance.
After enjoying the spiritual food, the Saintess of the Immortal Lotus waved her hand to clear the table, replacing the food with spiritual tea.
The spiritual food of the Ancient Lotus Holy Land was excellent, and naturally, the spiritual tea wouldn't be inferior.
The Saintess of the Immortal Lotus also prepared some pastries and personally brewed tea for everyone.
Lin Moyu didn't feel much, but the others were a bit flattered.
After brewing the tea, the Saintess of the Immortal Lotus slowly said, "Sister Fengyao, you know the most about the Origin Secret Vault. Would you like to tell us about it?"
Lu Fengyao said, "Of course, but as you know, only those who are going can know."
"And those who go must make a Great Dao Oath not to disclose it."
Clearly, this matter was important, and in short, unrelated people were not entitled to know.
Everyone's expression became more serious, especially the Rainbow Saintess and Gu Bichuan, who showed slight changes in their expressions.
Given the current situation, one of them would not be able to go and thus would not be entitled to know.
Although knowing or not knowing didn't matter much, it was a matter of face.
Lu Fengyao suddenly continued, "Originally, everyone was qualified to go, but there was a small accident this time. I think it's okay to tell everyone, but the Great Dao Oath must still be made. That's the rule. Is everyone okay with that?"
Lu Fengyao's sudden turn made the Rainbow Saintess and Gu Bichuan's faces look better.
Gu Bichuan's voice was cold, "Rules must be followed."
The Rainbow Saintess said, "Before coming, the elders in the sect already told me, and I understand."
Lu Fengyao smiled, "Since that's the case, let's all make the oath."
She took out a Dao Stone, slightly smaller than the one the Third Ancestor had.
For others, Dao Stones are rare, but for the Lu Feng Merchant Association, taking out a few is not a problem.
Lu Fengyao said, "Please join me in making the oath not to disclose any information about this Origin Secret Vault, not even a little."
Everyone communicated with the Dao Stone to make the oath, and no one dared to take shortcuts.
Including Lin Moyu, a soul oath might have loopholes, but a Great Dao Oath made with a Dao Stone has none.
Even a Dao Sovereign Ninth Realm old ancestor couldn't find a loophole, let alone him.
While making the oath, Lin Moyu felt as if he was facing a Great Dao directly, with the pressure of the Dao overwhelming his soul.
In this state, no one could lie, and no one dared to deceive the Great Dao.
After making the oath honestly, Lu Fengyao confirmed it and put away the Dao Stone.
She snapped her fingers, activating the formation in the pavilion, isolating them from the outside.
