The woman behind the screen stood up, casting a graceful silhouette upon it, and said:
"Enough, just be more careful next ti."
"Is there any other interesting news recently?"
The middle-aged man pondered for a mont and bowed his hand: "A few days ago, the Suihuo Sect seed to have made a big move, sending three Fetal Breathing Realm experts westward, heading straight for Hidden Dragon Mountain."
"Oh?" The woman seed to show so interest upon hearing this.
"Have you discovered their purpose?"
The middle-aged man shook his head slightly: "There’s no further news at the mont, but... I reckon those guys intend to launch a surprise attack on Luoxia Mountain or the Shen Family."
"That Wei Qiuling from Luoxia Mountain has returned to Yunzhong County City long ago, and seven days ago, Patriarch Shen Wenxing also went to Yunzhong County to seek aid due to the invasion by Demon Beasts from the Southern Border."
The woman pondered for a mont and said: "Do you think the Suihuo Sect plans to intercept and kill Patriarch Shen or Wei Qiuling?"
The middle-aged man said nothing.
He understood the woman’s temperant; when she questions like this, it usually ans he analyzed it incorrectly.
"That group has bigger plans. If not for sothing more pressing, it’s impossible they would act against Luoxia Mountain and the Shen Family."
"Whether it’s the patriarch of the Shen Family or the chief of Luoxia Mountain, should anything happen to either, it would be akin to declaring war directly on both families."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man revealed a hint of realization.
The Suihuo Sect indeed bears old grievances with the Shen Family and Luoxia Mountain. After attacking Yunzhong County City years ago, Luoxia Mountain retaliated sharply by killing a Fetal Breathing Realm elder of the Suihuo Sect, even taking down the Patriarch of the Zhang Family under the Suihuo Sect’s jurisdiction.
Wei Chengyu of the Suihuo Sect endured despite such trendous losses.
If they were to truly intercept and kill Shen Wenxing or Wei Qiuling, it would indeed be a heavy blow to the Shen Family and Luoxia Mountain.
Yet this action would be more detrintal than beneficial. Despite losing those two, the Suihuo Sect would gain no substantial benefits, rely sparking unending resentnt from both families.
"Please enlighten , Senior Sister."
The middle-aged man bowed his hand lightly.
After a slight nod, the woman behind the screen said, "You may leave now; I’ll have soone send you the hexagram later."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man respectfully bowed and withdrew.
...
Shen Family, Black Water Pavilion.
Hu Yufen consud the White Jade Fruit that Shen Chongming brought back from the Seven Sages Mountain Secret Realm, infusing her body with abundant vitality, restoring her youthful appearance once again.
After persuasion from Shen Yuan, she finally understood, no longer occupied with those mundane trifles during her free ti, instead trying to allocate more ti for cultivation.
Seeing his wife’s change, the worry burdening his heart gradually eased, and he returned to Black Water Pavilion to resu his cultivation.
On the first floor, Shen Yuan sat cross-legged on a cushion, suddenly knitting his brows.
He promptly ceased cultivating, imrsing his Divine Sense into his Sea of Consciousness.
And saw the Spiritual Charm on the White Jade Turtle Shell flickering faintly, as if forewarning sothing.
Shen Yuan hesitated slightly, then imdiately manipulated the White Jade Turtle Shell to begin a deduction.
"Chongming..."
After a brief deduction, he found the reason for the warning to be Shen Chongming.
Shen Yuan’s expression grew sowhat grave.
"The kid should be in Hidden Dragon Mountain right now; is there danger?"
He pondered quietly, not daring to dally, imdiately mobilizing the Spiritual Charm upon the White Jade Turtle Shell, attempting to deduce Shen Chongming’s fortune or crisis in the near future.
At the sa ti.
In Celestial Chapter City, atop the third floor of that small building in Tingfeng Valley.
A pair of fair delicate hands fiddled with the sticks in front, then started to form hand signs.
Strands of mystical Spiritual Power circulated at her fingertips, gradually forming several bizarre inscriptions that shimred.
The delicate hands extended a finger, lightly tapping the inscriptions before her; the inscriptions dispersed, seemingly about to reveal so words.
Yet at this mont, a profound and vast force suddenly erged from the void!
Upon the arrival of that force, it ford a red and white spiral before her of its own accord!
The spiral rotated slowly, directly absorbing the hexagram prophecy about to form before her!
The owner of the delicate hands blinked in surprise, and then her lips curled slightly upward.
"Encountering a fellow practitioner..."
A lazy voice echoed, prompting her to wave her hands before her; the six sticks upon the desk below rose into the air at that mont.
Instantly circling around the red and white vortex.
On the other side.
As Shen Yuan was deducing Shen Chongming’s fortunes with the White Jade Turtle Shell, he suddenly felt another similar Path of Great Derivation force also spying on Shen Chongming!
"Haha... daring to spy on this old man’s grandson?"
A trace of cold humor erged within Shen Yuan’s heart, imdiately controlling the White Jade Turtle Shell to follow that faint connection to probe the mysterious presence also spying on Shen Chongming.
When the red and white spiral appeared, Shen Yuan had already seen the face of the other.
She was a woman with hair as white as snow, yet a rather young appearance, so extraordinarily beautiful it left one in awe.
The woman’s gaze glanced at the red and white spiral; her rosy lips parted, seemingly muttering sothing, then her lips curled slightly upward, casting a spell to block the spying of the red and white vortex.
Feeling a bizarre force rapidly invading his Sea of Consciousness from afar, Shen Yuan feared nothing.
His thoughts moved slightly, and the small purple sword on the White Jade Turtle Shell vanished abruptly!
"Poof!"
On the third floor of a small courtyard in Celestial Chapter City, the white-haired woman had been confidently preparing to et that fellow practitioner also cultivating the Path of Great Derivation.
