Pushing open the attic door effortlessly, Ji Dantong headed straight to the second floor. Her footsteps echoed quietly on the wooden stairs, not loud but noticeable against the silent surroundings.
The hall on the ground floor of the attic was shrouded in darkness, with only the light from outside to navigate. But for soone of Ji Dantong’s skill level, she could move smoothly in the dark just by sensing, avoiding any accidents.
As she ascended in the light from outside, Xu Ming’s door swung open of its own accord with a slight creak, followed by a pleasant yet slightly cool voice...
"Co in!"
This familiar voice was indeed Xu Ming’s. With permission granted, Ji Dantong hesitated no longer and walked straight into the room.
There, Xu Ming was cloaked in a thin garnt, with her fair shoulders partly visible. On the round table before her were two steaming cups of fragrant tea, as if she had been waiting for so ti.
Upon seeing this, Ji Dantong clasped her hands in salute and said, "I apologize for disturbing you at this late hour, Master!"
Xu Ming raised a brow slightly, his tone calm, "Sit down and tell what’s the matter."
Having grown accustod to Xu Ming’s deanor, Ji Dantong wasn’t surprised. After taking her seat, she went straight to the point, detailing Sun Miaohan’s unsealing incident to Xu Ming.
Yet, as Ji Dantong continued to explain, Xu Ming’s expression grew increasingly grave.
On the surface, Xu Ming still maintained an unperturbed appearance. But Ji Dantong understood well that for Xu Ming to appear this way, the matter must be quite serious.
But with Xu Ming silent, Ji Dantong had to hold her many questions, not daring to voice them.
...
After a long while, Xu Ming finally parted her lips, saying one sentence that weighed heavily on Ji Dantong’s heart...
"This ti, people from Wind Blade Valley also went."
Upon hearing this, Ji Dantong was utterly shocked and imdiately asked, "People from Wind Blade Valley went too?"
Xu Ming nodded slowly in affirmation, "Yes, and Miaohan may be in real trouble this ti!"
Seeing Xu Ming’s confirmation, Ji Dantong’s face beca intensely serious; if that were the case, Sun Miaohan’s situation might indeed be precarious.
Speaking of Wind Blade Valley, Ji Dantong couldn’t help but think of soone—the sole heir of the Wind Blade Valley Sect Leader, the highly positioned Young Master nad Tao Zhenghao.
During one of Sun Miaohan’s outdoor ventures, she inadvertently encountered an extraordinary person.
Back then, all Sun Miaohan did was glance at him once, unexpectedly attracting innurable troubles, even altering the dynamics of Madman Valley, Heartbreak Valley, and Profound Spirit Valley.
The mont Tao Zhenghao first saw Sun Miaohan, he felt she was the person he had been waiting for all along—the one who could accompany him for the rest of his life.
This feeling ca without reason, yet Tao Zhenghao was absolutely convinced and imdiately approached Sun Miaohan with unsolicited advances.
Sun Miaohan, holding the belief that she could manipulate all n at her whim, naturally welcod any encounter, speaking many inappropriate words.
After their al, Sun Miaohan returned to her sect without any burdens. However, Tao Zhenghao seed to have taken it seriously.
Since their separation, each day Sun Miaohan would receive a letter from Tao Zhenghao, filled with extrely gushy content, akin to the work of wandering poets or overly dramatic youths, which made Sun Miaohan cringe, feeling no genuine affection.
Nevertheless, Tao Zhenghao was steadfast, believing that his daily persistence would eventually lt Sun Miaohan’s icy heart, and so he began sending love letters even more maniacally, reaching a peak of seven in one day.
Moreover, each letter was no less than a thousand words, with non-repetitive sentences throughout.
Unable to bear it, Sun Miaohan finally confronted the issue directly, plainly stating that there was no possibility between her and Tao Zhenghao.
Yet, Sun Miaohan didn’t foresee that her blunt response would sohow instill newfound confidence in Tao Zhenghao, reigniting a heart that had intended to give up.
As days passed, Tao Zhenghao’s letters grew increasingly flamboyant and explicit and even bestowed Sun Miaohan with a fond nickna—Hanhan!
Eventually, the fire couldn’t be hidden. Once the high-level mbers of Heartbreak Valley beca aware of Sun Miaohan’s routine mail, they imdiately gave it serious attention.
The reason was simple; Tao Zhenghao was the next Sect Leader of Wind Blade Valley, which Heartbreak Valley’s high-level mbers couldn’t overlook. The subsequent letters were thus handled by the higher-ups.
Before long, whether driven by longing or obsession, the leaders of Heartbreak Valley could no longer stand by as their disciple suffered daily harassnt, formally negotiating with Wind Blade Valley to protest such verbal harassnt.
Wind Blade Valley naturally denied any wrongdoing, accusing Heartbreak Valley of making sothing out of nothing, leading to a month-long war of words where both sides vehently criticized each other, seeming almost ready for ard conflict.
Despite this, the Sect Leader of Wind Blade Valley knew his son well. Upon receiving Heartbreak Valley’s protest, he imdiately grounded Tao Zhenghao, claiming it was to avoid suspicion.
Under such circumstances, Heartbreak Valley had little choice but to let it go, though still relentlessly pursuing the issue of their disciple’s harassnt, causing Wind Blade Valley considerable distress.
The sect’s strong support greatly moved Sun Miaohan, yet she was far more relieved not to suffer harassnt or be summoned by the high-ranking mbers.
But her relief didn’t last long before new trouble arose, surpassing previous issues.
A few days after Wind Blade Valley guaranteed no similar incidents would occur, coincidentally, Heartbreak Valley’s high-level mbers once again intercepted a love letter from Tao Zhenghao, and this ti its content did provoke a storm...
This even raised doubts whether the letter was indeed written by Tao Zhenghao.
Reflecting on this, Heartbreak Valley’s leaders compared Tao Zhenghao’s past letters to confirm the handwriting was his. With this confirmation, new doubts arose...
