Seeing him look so calm, Luo Li nodded slightly, stretched out her hand, poured so tea into a small teacup in front of Yang Kai, and said, “Have a taste of this Queen’s Tranquil as Snow Tea.” As she spoke, a clear and refreshing fragrance wafted towards Yang Kai.

Yang Kai’s expression changed as he picked up the teacup and put it under his nose, sniffing it a few tis as a slightly intoxicated look appeared on his face. Imdiately after, he lifted the cup of tea up and drank it down in one gulp before chewing a small tea leaf that beca stuck in his teeth.

Luo Li was slightly startled and smiled lightly, “Young Master Yang does not seem to have dabbled much in the art of tea ceremonies.”

“En, I haven’t studied it at all,” Yang Kai grinned aningfully, “I have been too busy running around these years so I haven’t had the ti or mind to learn about such things.”

“That is only natural. Young Hero Yang already has such a shocking cultivation at his age, so clearly he is an assiduous individual.”

“Senior is too polite; however, though Junior does not know much about the tea ceremony, he can tell that this Tranquil as Snow has the effect of calming one’s mood. Senior giving this tea as soon as I arrived... could you be worried about sothing?” Yang Kai smiled without really smiling.

Luo Li sighed openly, “Why does Young Master Yang ask sothing he already knows the answer to?”

Yang Kai’s expression beca serious as he stated, “Junior will be direct then. Ice Heart Valley’s previous attitude and practice truly angered greatly, and for a mont I felt that it would be best to wipe it from existence!”

Luo Li’s expression remained unchanged as she continued looking at Yang Kai, waiting for him to continue.

“But reflecting on it now, that was just an impulse driven by anger and completely unnecessary. Moreover, even if I really wanted to do so, Su Yan would not have agreed.”

When Yang Kai ntioned Su Yan, Luo Li’s face flashed with sadness, “Su Yan is a good child. I have taught her several tis and her understanding, aptitude, and will are all outstanding. If it were not for matters occurring in such a manner, Su Yan would definitely have grown into the pillar of my Ice Heart Valley and lead it to a glorious future.”

“Unfortunately, that will never co to pass,” Yang Kai smiled coldly.

“This ti, it was my Ice Heart Valley’s fault. My, Luo Li’s, fault. Young Master Yang having the heart to forgive our transgressions even after everything that happened is more than this Luo Li can thank you for!” Luo Li stood up and bowed to Yang Kai elegantly.

Yang Kai frowned, but his expression soon softened. After thinking for a mont, he said, “Senior is too serious. Senior is an Origin King while Junior is a re Third-Order Origin Returning Realm cultivator. Senior need not display such courtesy or respect.”

Luo Li shook her head sternly, “This Queen cannot depend on her status to remain aloof. Besides, although this Queen is sowhat short-sighted, she knows Young Hero’s future must be bright.”

Yang Kai laughed loudly, “Then I’ll take advantage of Senior’s auspicious words.”

After this laugh, Yang Kai said solemnly, “Since Senior is willing to speak openly and honestly, then Junior will reciprocate in kind. From now on, Su Yan and Qing Ya no longer have any relationship with Ice Heart Valley, and in return, I will not take what Ice Heart Valley has done in the past to heart.”

A trace of sadness flashed across Luo Li’s face as she nodded lightly, “Very well, it is my Ice Heart Valley that is not fated to receive these blessings and opportunities, so we will not try to demand them.”

“Senior being able to think so is for the best,” Yang Kai nodded in satisfaction.

Yang Kai was happy that Luo Li did not try to make things difficult here. Although his main purpose in coming here was to take Qing Ya away, he also wanted to et with this Supre Elder to draw a clear line between Ice Heart Valley and Su Yan.

After all, Ice Heart Valley had nurtured and taught Su Yan and Qing Ya for more than thirty years, using plenty of effort and resources on them, so although Yang Kai was extrely angry and disappointed with their most recent actions, so things still needed to be made clear.

“Good, since the personal affairs have been concluded, let’s talk about proper business,” Yang Kai’s expression changed as he spoke to Luo Li, a sly rchant’s grin appearing on his face.

Luo Li was stunned for a mont before she asked, “Proper business? What business?”

Despite her sharp instincts, she was unable to keep up with Yang Kai’s constantly changing rhythm.

“Brilliant Fla Sect and Ice Heart Valley have fought over Scarlet Wave Star for thousands of years and share an indelible blood feud. The number of Ice Heart Valley disciples who have died at the hands of Brilliant Fla Sect cultivators must be quite astonishing. Now that Brilliant Fla Sect’s Supre Elder Chi Huo has been killed by , hasn’t Senior had any ideas about taking advantage of the situation?” Yang Kai looked at Luo Li with a smile and slowly stated, “For example, cutting weeds and pulling out roots to avoid future troubles.”

Luo Li’s expression changed as she looked at Yang Kai in shock, “Young Hero is apparently a rciless person.”

“Hmph, those who aren’t rciless can never stand firmly,” Yang Kai sneered.

Luo Li’s beautiful eyes flashed, “These words are both learned and cultured, it seems this Queen has looked down on Young Hero.”

“So what are Senior’s intentions?”

“This Queen will speak opening then. This Queen indeed had such intentions; with Chi Huo dead, Brilliant Fla Sect now is leaderless, so now is indeed the best ti to settle all the grievances between our two factions, but... this Queen is strong in will but weak in strength.”

Yang Kai raised his brow slightly before gently nodding, “Is Senior referring to her internal and Soul injuries?”

“Young Hero’s eyes are indeed sharp,” Luo Li did not deny it.

The internal injuries were the result of her recent cultivation dissonance, while the damage to her Soul was a result of her choice to abandon Su Yan. The latter made the situation of the forr worse, which was the reason why Luo Li had not taken any action.

Otherwise, given all the grievances between the two factions, as early as the day Chi Huo was beheaded, Luo Li would have set out for Brilliant Fla Mountain Range to uproot Brilliant Fla Sect.

“Even so, with Senior’s ans, is there no way to take Brilliant Fla Sect?” Yang Kai asked suspiciously.

“Young Hero thinks too highly of ,” Luo Li laughed and shook her head. “If this Queen was at her peak, she would have at least a seventy percent chance of breaking through Brilliant Fla Sect’s Sect Defending Array, but under the current circumstances... it would be quite difficult. Although Brilliant Fla Sect does not have an Origin King to protect it now, it still has hundreds of Origin Realm cultivators, and with the help of their Sect Defending Array, they would have a fair chance of defeating this Queen.”

“It seems I’ve underestimated Brilliant Fla Sect!” Yang Kai stroked his shin, showing a trace of solemnity on his face.

In the end, Brilliant Fla Sect had endured for more than ten thousand years, so it possessed a profound heritage.

“So... if I can allow Senior to restore her strength to its peak, heal her injuries, and offer my cooperation, there would be a good chance of success?” Yang Kai suddenly laughed strangely.

“What?” Luo Li was startled as she furrowed her delicate brow, “You have a thod to allow to restore my peak strength?”

“Indeed!”

“But to heal my injuries, only an extraordinary cure will be useful. I would need a very specific type of Origin King Grade pill!” As she spoke, Luo Li seed to realize sothing and her complexion changed dramatically, calling out in alarm, “Is Young Hero also an Origin King Grade Alchemist?”

Yang Kai smiled aningfully, giving off a profound image as he nodded, “Whether or not that is the case, Senior can see for herself. Good, I need these materials. With Ice Heart Valley’s heritage, it shouldn’t be difficult to take them out...”

Yang Kai quickly listed a number of herbs, all of them Origin King Grade.

Luo Li was in a daze as she took down the list of materials while staring at Yang Kai in disbelief, her tender body trembling slightly as she did.

All the signs pointed to this young man being an Origin King Grade Alchemist. At the very least, an Origin King Grade Alchemist was standing behind him, otherwise, he would not have any need for such herbs.

Luo Li’s heart tumbled like it was being battered by great stormy waves, making it impossible for her to regain her calm for a long ti.

Origin King Grade Alchemists were extrely rare even considering the entire Star Field, almost to the point where they could be counted with one’s fingers. Each of these Grandmasters was extrely famous and even peak Third-Order Origin Kings would have to act respectful and polite whenever they t them.

They were the true nobility of the Star Field.

If the young man in front of her was really an Origin King Grade Alchemist, then Ice Heart Valley’s loss this ti would be difficult to quantify.

As soon as she thought about this, Luo Li felt the light in front of her eyes dim slightly and she nearly fainted. Fortunately, thanks to her profound cultivation and many years of tempering, she sohow managed to endure this shock and maintain her consciousness.

“These materials shouldn’t be difficult to find, right?” Yang Kai looked at Luo Li.

“En, the materials Young Hero has listed should be in the Valley’s storehouses, I will have soone check imdiately!”

“Very good. En, I will also need a seclusions room.”

“This Queen will have one prepared!” Luo Li nodded imdiately.

“Alright, in three days, I will co here again, Senior should look forward to it!” Yang Kai stood up.

“Young Master Yang...” Luo Li also stood up and called out.

“Is there sothing else Senior wishes to say?”

“I would like to ask, why are you trying to destroy Brilliant Fla Sect? Although Wei Feng insulted Su Yan that day, he is also dead. Brilliant Fla Sect has not truly provoked Young Hero, right? Young Hero would also not do this simply to help my Ice Heart Valley.”

“Who said they haven’t provoked ?” Yang Kai snorted, “They’ve provoked several tis. Of course, this is not the main reason. I want to deal with Brilliant Fla Sect because I want their Heavenly Thunder Fire!”

Shock filled Luo Li’s face as she muttered, “Young Hero has a big appetite! The Heavenly Thunder Fire is the foundation of Brilliant Fla Sect. It is also rumoured to have its own sentience and possess incredible strength. The primary reason this Queen has hesitated to invade Brilliant Fla Sect was precisely because of the Heavenly Thunder Fire!”

“En, very good. Since it can cause Senior so much worry, the Heavenly Thunder Fire must be stronger than I anticipated. I want it even more now!” Yang Kai laughed happily.

“You...” Luo Li stared at Yang Kai in amazent, thinking that he was indeed sowhat crazy. Even she was extrely concerned about the Heavenly Thunder Fire, yet this young man showed not the slightest fear of it, it really was a mystery what he had to rely on.

[I hope he is not soone who does not know his own limits.]

Luo Li prayed secretly in her heart.

After her expression fluctuated a few tis, Luo Li seed to make so kind of important decision and spoke once more, “Young Master Yang, if there is a chance, could you have Su Yan co to see this Queen one last ti? This Queen has sothing she wishes to tell her.”

Yang Kai looked at her seriously, but after a short silence, he nodded and said, “Sure, I will have Su Yan co see you tonight. I’ll take my leave first.”

“Many thanks, Young Hero,” Luo Li nodded gently.

Yang Kai descended Pure Ice Peak and t up with Qing Ya, who was waiting at its base. The latter released a sigh of relief when she saw him return safely.

Obviously, Bing Long had received Luo Li’s communication and imdiately greeted Yang Kai, “Young Master Yang, please follow .”

“Please!”

A short while later, Yang Kai was led to a certain isolated loft on the Inner Island while the herbs he had requested before were delivered to him by Bing Long herself.
