"Yueyin, why didn’t you tell me in advance you were coming?"

Guo Xinyi was surprised to see Xiao Yueyin.

Those familiar with her know that she very rarely leaves the Mountain. Other than occasionally needing to head out to do sect missions, she would usually spend her time in seclusion like a hermit.

As Guo Xinyi gleefully walked out of the gate to welcome Xiao Yueyin, she spotted two extremely eye-catching figures. One of them was a kingdom-toppling beauty while the other looked suspicious and dodgy.

Her steps slowed before coming to a stop.

That’s Senior Xia Lihua and Senior Ji Xian! What are they doing here? Wait a minute, is the matter at Arcane Mountain solved?

Xiao Yueyin can see Guo Xinyi had questions so she quickly sent her a message, briefly explaining the situation.

A flash of understanding appeared in Guo Xinyi’s eyes before she weirdly looked at the three of them.

What’s going on with Yueyin? She seems a lot closer to the two Seniors than before.

Snapping out of her thoughts, she decided to ignore Ji Xian and Xia Lihua for now and approached the middle-aged man.

She slightly bowed, “Senior Yue Li, thank you for coming. The Ardent Yin Sect will be counting on you.”

“You’re too kind Third Yin Pavilion Master. The First Yin Pavilion Master is my patient, after all, it is only natural that I’ll come.”

Guo Xinyi nodded with a grateful smile. Then, She turned to face the others who were present, “Everyone, we appreciate you all for coming. After this matter is over, we will reward you accordingly. Please follow me.”

She didn’t spend too much time with these other individuals. They were simply here just on the off chance they might be able to help but the probability of that happening was very low. All of them combined can’t even hold a candle to Senior Yue Li.

Finally, Guo Xinyi led them into the sect.

Ji Xian quietly observed the Ardent Yin Sect as he followed the group. He found it quite interesting that basically everything in the sect was made from ice. Buildings, houses, roads, and furniture. All of it was sculpted out from the mountain-size iceberg.

Strangely enough, the sect was a lot warmer than the outside.

Ji Xian’s eyes glowed with a clear subtle light. He inspected the ice around him for a minute before his eyes returned to normal.

He put out his hand and slid it across the wall of ice beside him. It wasn’t cold, but rather, it emitted a comfortable heat.

“Interesting…” Ji Xian smiled as he retracted his hand.

As they walked along the winding paths, the group came across the beautiful disciples of the Ardent Yin Sect.

The scholarly-looking men busied themselves, trying their hardest to attract the disciples’ attention. Ji Xian as well was looking left and right whenever they came across a pretty woman.

Unfortunately, due to his questionable appearance, after a single glance at him, they all looked away.

Xia Lihua noticed Ji Xian’s action but didn’t say anything. Although she was annoyed, she knew he was only looking at the woman with appreciation. There wasn’t any lust in his eyes.

Xiao Yueyin, however, felt a little differently. She was walking beside Guo Xiny exchanging conversations. Whenever she spotted him looking at another disciple, her eyebrows would pinch and she would unhappily glare at him without bothering to hide her expression.

Guo Xinyi naturally noticed this.

“Yueyin, is there something going with you and Senior Ji Xian?”

“What do you mean?” Xiao Yueyin shyly answered.

“You seem different…”

“How so?”

Guo Xinyi shook her head, “I have known you for a long time now. You have always been cold and indifferent, not caring too much about worldly affairs or others outside your circle. You rarely take the initiative to talk and have always focused on cultivating. But lately, you have become the opposite of all of this.”

“…”

“Is this because of Senior Xia Lihua, or is it because of Senior Ji Xian?”

“…”

Xiao Yueyin was in a daze as she thought about the question. A moment later, she smiled, “It’s neither one nor the other, it’s because of both of them.”

“I see…” Guo Xinyi nodded.

“…”

“…”

The two continued walking in silence for a while before Guo Xinyi send Xiao Yueyin another message.

“You never answered my question.”

“What question?”

“Is there something going on with you and Senior Ji Xian?”

“…No.”

Guo Xinyi easily saw Xiao Yueyin’s hesitation and sighed, “Yueyin, with Senior Xia Lihua constantly by his side, what are you going to do?”

“Xinyi, you don’t understand.” Xiao Yueyin confidently smiled, “I don’t need to do anything. He will naturally fall for me.”

Guo Xinyi blankly stared at her, “Who could imagine that the Dragon Saintess would ever like someone?

As the two women were having a heart-to-heart, unknowingly, they arrived at the Core Yin Pavilion.

Guo Xinyi led them inside the tall tower. The interior of the bottom floor of the Core Yin Pavilion was simple enough. There was only a single ice throne in the middle of the room.

Once everyone arrived, a beam of light descended before revealing itself to be a mature-looking woman with shiny blue hair who looked to be in her late twenties.

Her face was free from wrinkles and her skin was clear and smooth. She wore a light blue robe that accentuated her jaw-dropping figure.

The moment she appeared, all eyes in the room were immediately drawn to her bosom. Even Guo Xinyi, who was quite proud of herself in that area was far from comparison to this woman.

*Gulp*

One of the scholarly-looking men in the group audibly swallowed their saliva and like a chain reaction, one after the other did the same.

Guo Xinyi bowed and greeted the woman, “Sect Master. I have brought Senior Yue Li along with the others.”

The mature-looking woman nodded, “I’m sure all of you already know but I am the Sect Master of the Ardent Yin Sect, Shao Qinglian.

Ji Xian’s eyes slightly widened in surprise as he looked at this woman.

Those can’t be real… wait a minute, her aura...
