Chapter 29

Ardent Yin Sect..? Xiao Yueyin muttered.

She took out another small tablet, this one being made of wood. She infused it with her Essence and immediately after, a voice sounded in her head again.

Yueyin! Are you finally out of seclusion?

This voice belonged to Guo Xinyi!

Yes, I am leading the Sect disciples this time to attend the All Desolate Competition. Said Xiao Yueyin.

What! Are you in Solitude City right now? Where are you?

Lets meet at the River Wine Restaurant.

Half an hour later, Xiao Yueyin arrived first. The waiter recognized the symbol on her dress and escorted her to an exclusive room.

Guo Xinyi showed up a moment later. Surprisingly, the young Lin Roulan was with her as well.

Yueyin, Its been a while, youre always in seclusion. Guo Xinyi complained the moment they met.

How have you been, Xinyi?

She shook her head, and a tired expression appeared on her face. She waved her hand to create a sound barrier around her and Xiao Yueyin.

Ever since Senior Sister Fang Yu became incapacitated, the matter of the First Yin Pavilion has been left for the rest of us to handle. The work has been overwhelming.

There hasnt been any progress?

No, her injuries are too severe. All the doctors we invited were unable to help. Even Senior Yu Li had his arms tied. He can only ensure that her life is protected.

Guo Xinyis eyes suddenly brightened, she grabbed Xiao Yueyins jade-like hand and asked, Can the Arcane Mountain help?

Im sorry, Xinyi. If even Senior Yu Li is unable to do anything, then there isnt much we can do. Perhaps if it was the Ancestor

Xiao Yueyin shook her head, Unfortunately he's busy watching over that formation at the mountain so he cannot leave."

Guo Xinyi let out a dejected sigh. Xiao Yueyin saw this, she opened her mouth wanting to say something but nothing came out. She isnt good at comforting people so she wasnt sure of what to say to make her friend feel better.

After a brief moment of silence. Xiao Yueyin hesitated but finally asked Guo Xinyi about the reason for this meet-up.

Guo Xinyi sweetly laughed upon seeing her awkwardness, she answered, The book was bought by a young woman named Xia Lihua.

Xia Lihua Xiao Yueyin repeated.

Yes. I dont know much about her. At first, I thought she was from a reclusive clan, but now, Im not sure.

Why?

Because she doesnt know the Empress. I find it hard to believe that there's a person in the Mortal Desolate World that doesnt know the Great Empress Han Lan. Even mortals know about her legend.

Xiao Yueyin narrowed her pitch-black eyes and a hint of killing intent emitted from her body.

Guo Xinyi quickly waved her hand to reinforce the barrier, containing the killing intent within.

Is she one of them? Xiao Yueyin asked coldly.

No, shes human. Im sure.

""

In her peripherals, she can see Ji Xian motioning her to throw it again. Guo Xinyi took in a deep breath and resisted the urge to throw the inkstone at him before putting it down on the table.

Lin Roulan was happily standing beside Ji Xian giggling at this sight.

Feeling exhausted all of a sudden, Guo Xinyi said We will return when Sister Xia is done with her cultivation.

She headed for the door when all of a sudden, Ji Xians voice sounded out from behind, She should be done in another ten minutes.

!

A visible vein bulged from Guo Xinyis forehead, Why didnt you say that earlier?

Ah, this lowly servant thought that's too long of a wait so I could only resort to extreme measures to try to wake the Young Lady sooner. He replied nonchalantly.

Guo Xinyi and Xiao Yueyin were dumbfounded.

Ten minutes for cultivators was nothing! Its equivalent to the blink of an eye. And did he just say picking up random objects and throwing them, is using an extreme measure?

Lin Roulan's adorable laugh filled the room, causing Guo Xinyi to look at her in annoyance.

The little girl sticks out her tongue before asking What's your name, Big Brother?"

Ji Xian.

I am Lin Roulan.

I know.

Oh... Big Brother Ji Xian, what are you reading?

A book.

What is it about?

Youre too young to know.

"Why are you always hiding your face?"

"To protect the people of this world."

"From what?"

"The destruction of the natural order."

""

The two women watched as the two of them go back and forth, talking about absolutely nothing. They gave each other a glance before Guo Xinyi sat on her bed and begin meditating.

At the same time, Xiao Yueyin leaned outside the window. Her arms rested on the frame as she take in the view from the tall building.

As the date of the All Desolate Competition approaches, the city has become even more lively. The sounds of chatter came from every direction.

Her eyes subconsciously moved to the city gates. Looking at the familiar scene, she suddenly thought about the figure watching her, but then, a thought hit her.

She glanced back at Ji Xian, who was still talking nonsense with Lin Roulan

She silently muttered, "It was him..."Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
