Yunling Mountain.
Snow Moon Forest.
In front of a tall and well-proportioned red-haired figure, stood a young girl wearing a water green jade patterned skirt.
The girl’s long hair reached her waist, her oval face bearing a hint of innocence, she respectfully bowed and said:
"Master, please look at the result of my cultivation."
After speaking, the Spiritual Energy on her body surged, and her waist-length hair was blown upward by the gust of Spiritual Power, turning one of her clear eyes pink and the other green.
The pink represented Tang, the green represented Lotus.
The girl ford seals with her hands, and the Spiritual Power in the air transford into a sea of Tang flowers and a lotus leaf, each about the size of a palm.
With a wave of her left hand, the sea of Tang flowers shot towards a large tree.
The Tang flowers embedded into the tree bark, and soon countless Tang flowers grew on the tree. Then, with a boom, the flowers and the entire tree turned into powder, as if they had never existed.
With a wave of her right hand, the lotus leaf drifted towards the Snow Moon Forest. After passing through dozens of large trees, it slowly dissipated.
The next mont, the parts of the trees where the lotus leaf had passed through suddenly broke apart, the sound of crashing trees was incessant, and they all fell in two halves.
After using these two moves, Fang Xue’s white delicate face blushed, and she weakly knelt on the ground:
"Master, I’ve just reached the first layer of the Tanglian Technique. I can only perform this move; I am unworthy, please punish ."
Xia Qinglian looked down at her and suddenly asked, "Are you an upper grade Water Series Spirit Root?"
"Yes."
Fang Xue answered respectfully while kneeling.
Xia Qinglian said, "To reach the first layer of the Tanglian Technique in one month, you are far more talented than your senior brother."
Fang Xue raised her head in surprise, "I have a senior brother?"
Xia Qinglian nodded, "Your senior brother’s talent is far inferior to yours. He takes more than half a month to master an ordinary Body Cultivation Technique."
Fang Xue’s clear big eyes widened, "Is senior brother a body cultivator? Master, where is my senior brother? When will I et him?"
Xia Qinglian coldly replied, "Your senior brother is too slow; it’s better you don’t see him. Now, I will teach you the second layer of the Tanglian Technique."
"Thank you, Master!" Fang Xue was extrely curious about her senior brother, but she dared not ask more, earnestly following her master to learn the cultivation technique.
After two hours, Fang Xue had already learned the second layer of the Tanglian Technique, now it was just about increasing proficiency and mastery.
Xia Qinglian sighed again, "If your senior brother had half your talent, I would be very comforted."
Fang Xue asked in confusion, "Master, do you like my senior brother very much?"
Xia Qinglian, startled, asked, "What makes you say that?"
Fang Xue honestly replied, "I feel that whenever you ntion senior brother, you can’t help but be happy. I think you must be very fond of him?"
"Nonsense!"
Xia Qinglian coldly snorted, startling Fang Xue, who quickly knelt down:
"Master, calm your anger, I misspoke!"
A mont later, the master cald down and said to her:
"What has happened in Zhenyang Sect recently, tell one by one."
In fact, after Si Minglan was countered by Qin Gengyun that night, she had already revealed most secrets of the Zhenyang Sect.
But to prevent Fang Xue from knowing she was Qiu Zhihe, Xia Qinglian pretended not to know, and asked her to repeat.
After Fang Xue finished, Xia Qinglian gave a cold smile:
"After you return to Zhenyang Sect, pay attention to Ye Xiyue and a few Peak Masters. I want to see how many people she’ll dual cultivate with to beco the Sect Leader of Zhenyang Sect!"
Fang Xue, unaware of Ye Xiyue being coerced by Zheng Shengmo into dual cultivation, was shocked, "Senior Sister wants to be Sect Leader? And for this, she doesn’t hesitate to dual cultivate with others?!"
Tonight, she had heard too many things that overturned her beliefs, her mind felt like it was about to explode, murmuring:
"Zhenyang Sect... how could it be like this?"
Xia Qinglian looked at her and suddenly laughed.
Fang Xue was puzzled, "Master, why are you laughing?"
Xia Qinglian said, "You finally understand. Many in Zhenyang Sect are hypocrites. If one day I require you to kill your fellow disciples with your own hands, would you be willing?"
Fang Xue bit her pale lips, and after a mont, earnestly said, "As long as they are truly evildoers, I will bring them to justice with my own hands!"
"Then I want you to kill Si Minglan now." Xia Qinglian coldly said.
Fang Xue was stunned, quickly replied, "Master, Third Senior Sister is not evil!"
Xia Qinglian sneered, "Didn’t you say Si Minglan was ruthless in Wuxi Town? How is she not evil?"
"But Third Senior Sister also helped Uncle Qin and Sister Qiu! I always thought Third Senior Sister wasn’t inherently... wanton and ruthless; she’s actually a good person, Master, please don’t kill her!"
She kowtowed heavily three tis, pleading earnestly.
Xia Qinglian sneered, "You claid when you beca my disciple, that you’d focus on strength, not the sect’s moral standings, why now cling to good and evil?"
"I, I..."
Fang Xue thought for a long ti, finally said:
"My parents live a hard life but have never hard anyone. Even if I could make them live forever through malign cultivation, they probably wouldn’t accept it."
"Alright, you can go back now." Xia Qinglian suddenly said.
"Master?" Fang Xue thought she was angry, knelt without daring to rise.
Xia Qinglian lifted her up, her voice slightly softened:
"Tonight, I intended to kill Si Minglan, but she’s lucky not to have provoked grievously. Many in Zhenyang Sect have fair faces but dark hearts, you must be cautious."
"Train well, next ti we et, I will test you again."
"Yes, Master, take care of yourself!"
Knowing that it would be unknown when they could et again, Fang Xue’s eyes welled up. After heavy kowtows, the red figure had vanished when she rose again.
...
The edge of Caifeng Street.
Not far from Spirit Pill Workshop, stood a residence.
It belonged to Pavilion Master Pei Daoyu.
But at this mont, Pei Daoyu humbly bowed, respectfully speaking to a man in black:
"Envoy, I’ve not seen Senior Chang Chunzi for many days and genuinely don’t know his whereabouts?"
This man in black was from Xingluo Town, the Chang Family.
Chang Chunzi was the fifth in the Chang Family. Though not favored, he was of their main lineage, and had been missing for over two months. The Chang Family found it suspicious and sent people to search for him.
This black envoy was one of them, having learned of Chang Chunzi’s close ties with Pei Daoyu, he ca to Yunling Town to inquire of him.
Upon hearing Pei Daoyu’s words, the Chang Family envoy frowned, coldly asked:
"Really?"
"How dare I deceive? Senior Chang Chunzi never liked others asking about his whereabouts, so I didn’t dare inquire when we parted in Zhenyang City. I had no idea Senior Chang Chunzi would disappear, and I can’t help, please forgive , envoy!"
Pei Daoyu hurriedly answered, extrely respectful.
The Chang Family envoy stared at him for a mont, finally said:
"For now, I’ll trust you. Once I report to the Patriarch in Xingluo Town, if we need your effort, you must comply!"
"Rest assured, envoy, Senior Chang Chunzi and I are close, I will surely help find him!"
The Chang Family envoy snorted, then left the Pei Mansion.
Pei Daoyu slumped into a chair, exhaling a long breath, his back soaked in sweat.
However, just as he relaxed, he suddenly jumped up, cold sweat instantly covering him.
Unbeknownst to him, a tall and well-proportioned figure with long white hair and dressed in white, stood before him.
A white veil covered the face, revealing only a pair of cold eyes, sending a chill down one’s spine.
