--- Chapter 58 ---

The news about Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress's disappearance caused a stir in the Blue Wind Empire. Even the spy from neighboring nations couldn't help but suck cold breath upon witnessing the sheer ridiculousness of this news.

Even though the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress isn't the 'greatest' sect in the Blue Wind Empire, its power is still within the top five!

The mountain where the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress abruptly evaporates, as if nothing was there in the first place.

Beside a charred ground, there are no other clues.

After a few days, the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress is 'finally' declared destroyed.

The reason is unknown. Maybe a conflict or revenge.

As for the attacker, people don't dare to delve deeper into the abyss.

Fear of the unknown because this was beyond their level.

Only Four Great Sacred Ground could possibly find something about this matter, but they aren't free enough to do it.

But people still speculate.

Some guessed that over ten Sky Profound Realm Experts surrounded the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress and launched a wide-area attack.

The other guessed five Throne-level Experts do it.

A bolder one guessed that an Overlord-level Expert or Monarch-level Expert came and decimated the mountain in three moves. Of course, people mocked this fellow for being out of touch.

Well, they are wrong.

The Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress is gone with just one attack.

And the attacker was not even a Sky Profound Realm Expert.

...

Two months and a half later.

Blue North County's Border, Golden Bell City.

Golden Bell City is a middle-sized city within the Blue Wind Empire. It has no natural specialty, but a golden bell hangs on a stone tower nearby and becomes the symbol of this place.

Although this place doesn't have a specialty, merchant caravans usually rest and restock their rations here. With a population of over 45,000 people and a refreshing atmosphere, this place is suitable for relaxing between trips.

A black-haired youth is drinking a cold lemonade under a shady tree.

His golden eyes gazed into the distance, seemingly observing the mystery of the universe.

Ordinary people could only see blue sky and white clouds, but the youth could see much more. The outlines of the atmosphere and brighter world humans can only sense after reaching a 'certain' stage of cultivation.

Not far away from the youth, several women gathered under a tent and gossiped with each other. They are the youth's family and companion.

"What do you think?" Yu Zhan sat down, asking his son.

Yu Long sipped his drink and replied, "Nothing in particular."

"Hmm, maybe I didn't expect our family holiday to take almost three months."

"Haha, that's true." Yu Zhan chuckled because the ladies dragged them all over the Blue Wind Empire. They stayed in Silver Lake City for one and a half months before visiting some unique places in the Blue Wind Empire.

They have visited sea, mountain, and even snowy terrain.

After a while, they finally decided to return home.

Yu Xin, who hasn't explored much in her entire life, was pretty satisfied with their family holiday.

"Was it a bad thing, though?" He glanced at his son.

"Is this fate?" Yu Long couldn't help but comment helplessly.

"Aren't they supposed to meet at the Floating Cloud City? Then, what the hell is one of the Frozen Cloud Asgard's fairies, Chu Yueli, doing here?!"

Chu Yueli is Xia Qingyue's teacher in the original story.

She was supposed to meet Xia Qingyue accidentally after wandering around the Blue Wind Empire. Fascinated by the girl's talent, Chu Yueli took her in as a disciple and brought her into the Frozen Cloud Asgard.

Xia Qingyue, who pursued power and knowledge to find her mother, agreed and became Chu Yueli's disciple.

Nevertheless, Yu Long has altered Xia Qingyue's destiny, and she wouldn't join that ridiculous sect.

'Hmph, I won't let Xia Qingyue become an emotionless ice cube!' Yu Long clenched his hand slightly.

Meanwhile, Chu Yueli initiated the conversation with Xia Qingyue.

"Are you okay?" Chu Yueli asked the charming-looking girl before her.

Xia Qingyue blinked a few times and nodded calmly, "I'm fine."

"Thank you for saving me, senior."

Chu Yueli's help is 'actually' unnecessary because these useless bandits won't pose a threat to Xia Qingyue, but the latter still shows her gratitude.

Chu Yueli smiled behind her veil, "Good."

"I can't withstand seeing such a young girl getting bullied by these bandits."

"Let me check if you're really okay." She added while extending her slender hand.

Pa!

Xia Qingyue instinctively slapped Chu Yueli's hand, which shocked the Frozen Cloud Asgard's fairy.

"Eh?" Chu Yueli felt slightly numb in her hand.

Xia Qingyue sighed and stated, "I'm sorry, but I can't let strangers touch me."

"But I saved you?" Chu Yueli has never encountered something like this before.

Shouldn't this girl feel grateful?

Why did she act like this all of a sudden?

Xia Qingyue shook her head gently, "Senior might save me, but that doesn't mean you're a good person."

"Oh, you're saying I'm a bad person now?" Chu Yueli's mouth twitched in disbelief.

"Yes. I was taught not to trust others easily." Xia Qingyue flatly said as a matter of fact. "This world is vast, so who knows what kind of dangerous people live inside it."

"Forget it, I don't mind. Just give me your hand for a few seconds." Chu Yueli sighed in dissatisfaction.

"I'm afraid... That's not possible." Xia Qingyue stepped back a few times.

"..." Chu Yueli.

This girl!

Just how cautious you can be?

"You heard that right, ice lady." Someone suddenly shouted from afar.

A purple flash landed between Xia Qingyue and Chu Yueli.

Xia Qingyue's expression brightened, and Chu Yueli's face darkened.

"And who might you be?" Chu Yueli asked with a frown. A black-haired youth stood with a calm expression.

"Me?" Yu Long smiled slightly. "I'm her fiancé."
