Chaoruo responded one by one, politely declining.
It was probably mentioned that the person was in closed-door cultivation and temporarily unable to meet visitors, and so on.
The trouble was that these people said they would wait for Xie Jiuniang to finish her cultivation.
Chaoruo could only do so much, prolonging the matter for the time being.
Those who were bold enough to leave messages were mostly from the Great Sects. What else could he do?
In fact, after some investigation, it wasn't hard to find out that someone was intentionally spreading the news, aiming to put Xie Jiuniang in the spotlight. The problem was that the information being spread about Xie Jiuniang was almost entirely true, except for the part related to ascension, which was completely fabricated.
Ascension was a major issue.
It wasn't that there had been no rumors before, but there also had to be believers.
