In the Qin Palace:

Qin Mu breathed a sigh of relief seeing the Seniors of the various powers being satisfied by his explanation. They also shared their own views but no one was really honest with each other. They just wanted him to slip some secrets if possible so that they could take advantage of him.

Usually, this wouldn't happen, but since Qin Mu is under great pressure now there is a considerable chance for success.

However, things didn't turn their way. Qin Mu only spoke what he wanted to.

After the discussion, they all decided to go to their respective places. Being the exalted experts they were, it would be unsightly if they stayed here. Various rumors might start. Farewells were said as they reached the residence they were given in Qin's territory.

The representative of the Mystic Ice Sect this time, Wushang, made her way to the guest room. Like everyone in the sect, she too practiced in the way of Ice profound arts. She had a gorgeous face, an ice-cold bearing and seemed to be just above 30 years.

Her expertise in Mystic Ice Arts reached an extremely high level. One would normally avoid looking into her eyes to avoid the coldness.

As she reached her guest room, she saw an extremely young beautiful woman with a veil. She had snow blue robes and a matching snow-white skirt. She seemed like an Ice Goddess descending upon the mortal realm.

Looking at the Young Woman, a barely noticeable yet affectionate smile formed on Wushang's face. Upon seeing Wushang approaching, the Young Woman's eyes showed visible emotion of respect and more than anything, joy.

After Wushang entered the room, the young woman kneeled and spoke in her still ice cold voice which now seemed to contain a trace of respect and affection "Disciple pays respect to Master."

Wushang gently helped her from the ground. Her cold face melted slightly as she looked into the Young Woman's eyes and spoke "Yan'er, you don't have to kneel to me every time you see me. It makes us feel distant."

Leng Yue Yan shook her head gently and said: "I think it is only proper if I pay respects to Master."

Wushang sighed lightly seeing her stubborn disciple and sat on the sofa. Seeing that Leng Yue Yan didn't sit, she motioned her to sit beside her.

Leng Yue Yan obediently sat beside her. Wushang held her hands and spoke " Tell master how your trip to the Qin Capital was? Did you enjoy your time here?"

Leng Yue Yan felt the affection from her master and slowly said "It was alright master. But I met an interesting person in Qin Qing's team."

"Ling Tian?" Wushang probed.

Leng Yue Yan nodded. Wushang spoke with her ice-cold voice " He didn't cause any trouble for you, did he?"

"No Master. He even saved me once in a fight. His talk also helped me."

"Then I should thank him, I suppose. Pity that he is not here. For you to give him such an evaluation, he must be a fine young man.


Yan'er, Tell me do you know about anything that happened in the secret trial?"

Leng Yue Yan struggled to answer but finally, she spoke "An extremely evil entity was sealed there and was trying to break the seals. It was also the one controlling the whole trial system. I noticed its actions peculiar and warned my teammates to be careful. Hence, we were not controlled. But suddenly, few contestants appeared and fought us. They had the same auras as the one who fought Grand Elder of the Qin Clan yesterday, merely much weaker.

It took a lot of effort to end them.

I entered the Circular formation later and I didn't hear anything afterward.

We almost died but somehow it vanished. I don't know what happened in the end. I remembered that it broke the seal and its pressure made me faint. After I regained consciousness, I didn't find any of its traces. It called itself 'Bloody Wolf'."

"As expected." Wushang stared into the distance as she muttered.

"Master?"

"Nothing, Yan'er. That was what everyone was thinking about. The woman who came to the capital must be related to the incident of the Secret Trial. After all, the timing is too much of a coincidence. So, only you and your teammates fought?"

"Yes master but not all of them. Me, Ling Tian, Qin Qing, Ling Chen, and Liu feifei."

"It was miraculous that you were able to defeat such dangerous devils all by the 5 of you. The Old Man from the Sacred Sword Sect is boasting about Ling Chen's talent."

"Ling Tian and I fought together like Ling Chen and Liu feifei. Contrary to what everyone knew,

Ling Tian's strength was even higher than Ling Chen's. It is just that he didn't show it till the last moment."

"Yan'er, I see that you have a different trace of expression when you talk about this young man. Tell master, I will see my disciple become a good wife." she gently stroked Leng Yue Yan's snow blue luster hair and spoke.

Leng Yue Yan shook her head and bitterly spoke "No, Master. I don't have any affection towards him. If any, I am only curious and interested in knowing him. And even if I develop feelings for someone in the future, it would only bring calamity for them and the sect. I don't want to hurt you, master."

Wushang's hand was visibly shaken as she gently hugged her dear disciple and spoke affectionately "Yan'er, They say Master a day, Father for life. I'm not just your Master, but your Mother as well. Even though this world is cruel, there will still be people you can rely on. Don't be too hard on yourself.

It was all master's fault. If master was strong enough, it would have not happened." she blamed herself as she hugged the Ice Goddess tighter.

Leng Yue Yan slowly wrapped her arms around her Master and held her tightly. "No, Master. Please don't blame yourself. It is only because of you that I'm able to live for at least the remaining few years. And I always regarded you as my mother."

Wushang's body trembled. Even with her icy cold disposition, she had a soft spot towards her. This was the first time Leng Yue Yan addressed her as 'Mother'.

"For my fate, I will fight with my own hands. Even if the chances of me winning against fate is extremely low, I would never give up. I would rather die trying than drown in self-pity."

Wushang was at a loss of words and could only hold her tighter.

Leng Yue Yan's eyes shone with determination she didn't have before she entered the Qin Ancestral Grounds. Unknown to herself, Sheng Tian's words had a huge impact on her as she was determined to fight it out.

Afterward, she told about the warning she received earlier from 'Ling Tian' before the auction. Wushang lightly sighed as she said "Yan'er, you should not trust people so easily even if you know them for years much less few days. That ancient manual was said to break the balance of the powers itself. Now that it went to them,..." she didn' continue but Leng Yue Yan knew what she would have said.

Even the Ice goddess herself was having conflicted thoughts about her decision. Did she really need to trust him? Even if he was related to Meng Xin, he might not be her ally. These thoughts swirled in her head as she was having trouble sorting her own opinion regarding this issue.

Wushang spoke after seeing her disciple's state "Leave it. There is no use crying over spilled milk. Just treat it as a lesson so that you don't suffer in the future, alright?"

Even before Leng Yue Yan could respond, a message was sent to Wushang through Sound Transmission token. After she heard the content, a smile filled with shock and relief formed on her Icy face.

"What is it, master?"

"It was Qin Clan who sent the news. Those sects and clans who brought the manual have been CONNED"
