Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

It was another beautiful night, and An Lin and Xu Xiaolan enjoyed the fireworks for the majority of the night before retiring to their respective rooms.

The next morning, An Lin had only just woken up when a gallant young male with crimson-colored eyes barged his way into his room.

“Hi, An Lin, how was last night? Were you happy?” Mo Hai asked with a sly smile.

“Yeah, I sure was. The fireworks were beautiful…” An Lin replied with a happy expression.

Mo Hai inched his face toward An Lin and whispered in his ear, “Did you do it?”

An Lin replied with a confused expression, “Do what.”

“Cough… Do you really need me to spell it out for you?” There was a hint of a smile on Mo Hai’s face as he looked at An Lin. “The fireworks were booming and banging last night… Did you and Xu Xiaolan set off any banging fireworks?”

Booming and banging?

Fireworks?

What the f*ck!

An Lin’s lips twitched when he understood what Mo Hai was saying. He glared at him with rage. “Piss off! Xiaolan and I are just classmates! What the hell are you thinking?!”

Da Bai immediately chimed in, “That’s right, Big Brother An is so pure and innocent! All they did was hold hands and make out. He didn’t even dare to set off any fireworks… what kind of man is he?!”

He stuffed golden rice balls into his mouth as he grumbled.

An Lin: “…”

An Lin saw an extremely conflicted expression on Da Bai’s face. This was an expression that exhibited both resentment at being shunned and disappointment at An Lin’s lack of progress.

“I’m so envious that you managed to win over the most beautiful sect sister in our sect. Meanwhile, I’m still just by my lonely self.” Mo Hai’s expression suddenly changed as he sighed with melancholy.

An Lin pursed his lips. “You’re the top young disciple of the Vermilion Bird Sect… Surely it wouldn’t be difficult for you to find a girlfriend?”

“Sigh, it’s all because of my habit of observing the true intent of fire by being burned in flames. Many of the beautiful sect sisters saw this, and they all think that I’m a freak.” Mo Hai revealed his difficulties to An Lin.

An Lin was shocked to hear this. He had thought that Mo Hai had no self-awareness, but it appeared that he was very clear about his own situation!

Da Bai couldn’t help but interject, “There’s nothing difficult about this. If you’re a masochist, can’t you just find a sadist? I’m sure there’ll be a chick who wants to bathe in flames with you. Woof!”

An Lin: “…”

Mo Hai stared at Da Bai in shock before saying in a quiet voice, “Does this type of female really exist? I’ve always been really self-conscious and felt that I was inferior… I thought I was destined to be forever alone because of this habit…”

“Of course they exist! A masochist like you already has such low self-esteem! Do you think the sadistic girls won’t have low self-esteem as well? They just choose to hide it from everyone. Your job is to give them the confidence to step out of the closet. Once they do, they’ll fall head over heels for you. Woof!” Da Bai spoke as if he were a relationship expert.

Mo Hai’s eyes suddenly lit up. It was as if Da Bai had opened up a whole new world to him.

“Speaking of sadistic females, isn’t Sister Shangguan Yi an ideal match for you?” An Lin chuckled. “Being in a relationship with her would be super stimulating as well because she’ll give you a new surprise every day!”

“Sister Shangguan Yi…” Mo Hai’s expression suddenly became disconsolate.

“What about her?” An Lin’s smile faded upon seeing Mo Hai’s expression.

“She disappeared during the battle for the Holy Vermilion Flame,” Mo Hai replied in a low voice. “From what the elders could gather, there’s an extremely high probability that the snow maidens abducted her to the Holy Capital…”

An Lin faltered slightly before replying with furrowed brows, “Sister Shangguan Yi’s aptitude in the Dao of ice is incredibly impressive. The snow maidens most likely only abducted her for her talent. Otherwise, there would be no reason for them to take her away.”

“Sigh, this battle has been nothing less than a calamity for the Vermilion Bird Sect. In fact, it’s already damaged the foundation of the entire sect.” Mo Hai shook his head with a light sigh before he continued, “The Grand Elder may appear relaxed and carefree, but I’ve received news that his injuries are actually quite severe. He’s about to go into seclusion very soon to facilitate recovery.

“The Sect Leader received word of the battle, and he forcefully returned from the Demonic Flame Realm. He slew over one million snow maidens in a fit of rage, and he also pushed the front line of the battlefield at Holy Glacial Lands back over one thousand five hundred kilometers. However, this does nothing to help the Vermilion Bird Sect recover from its losses. Thankfully, you were able to recover the Holy Vermilion Flame. Otherwise, our sect really would’ve suffered unrecoverable losses.”

Mo Hai turned his eyes toward the north and muttered under his breath, “The snow maidens have extremely powerful brainwashing techniques… I hope we won’t be enemies the next time we meet Sister Shangguan Yi.”

An Lin also heaved a forlorn sigh after hearing this.

Shangguan Yi had led such tumultuous life up to this point. Just as she was finally able to obtain the approval of the Holy Vermilion Flame, the snow maidens came.

She had chased after the snow maidens, yet she ended up being captured by them instead…

“Young Master An, breakfast is ready!” Little Chun’s tender voice sounded from the kitchen.

“Come, let’s go and eat, Brother Mo.” An Lin gestured for Mo Hai to follow him.

Mo Hai shook his head. “I’ve already eaten. Oh, that’s right. When you’re finished with breakfast, go to the White Heavenly Tower with Xu Xiaolan. Elder Zhu will be waiting for you there.”

The White Heavenly Tower was a restricted area of the Vermilion Bird Sect. According to rumors, all of the most valuable treasures of the sect were stored there.

An Lin’s interest was immediately piqued. He feigned an ignorant expression and asked, “What does Elder Zhu want to see us for?”

“You’ll see when you get there. I’m off now.” Mo Hai left with a light chuckle.

After bidding farewell to Mo Hai, An Lin elatedly delivered this news to Xu Xiaolan.

Xu Xiaolan was quite calm and collected about the whole matter. Meanwhile, she expressed that she already had more than enough treasures in her possession.

…

After breakfast, An Lin flew toward the White Heavenly Tower with Xu Xiaolan.

The White Heavenly Tower was a tower that hovered in the sky. Beneath it was layers of divine white clouds.

Disciples who hadn’t received permission to enter the White Heavenly Tower would find that they were unable to near the tower no matter how long they flew toward it. It was like a mirage in the clouds to them; they were able to see it, yet they were never able to reach it.

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan didn’t encounter this situation, and both of them arrived at the gate of the White Heavenly Tower without a hitch.

Zhu Yuanzhou was already waiting for them with a smile on his face.

Zhu Yuanzhou was Xu Xiaolan’s uncle, so An Lin was naturally a little nervous to see him.

After all, he had held Xu Xiaolan’s hand in front of the entire sect, and he didn’t know what her uncle would think about this…

Elder Zhu looked at An Lin with a delighted smile. “Hehe, An Lin, your reward is going to be quite the rich one. Why don’t you give your share to Xu Xiaolan for her to keep in her storage ring? After all, the wife should look after the family finances…”

An Lin faltered slightly upon hearing this, and he didn’t even have a chance to reply before Xu Xiaolan flared up in rage. “Elder Zhu! Please be more serious! Don’t tease An Lin during such an important occasion! He’s the hero of our Vermilion Bird Sect!”

Elder Zhu looked at his niece with a resigned expression. Then, he heaved a sigh in his mind. As expected, her wings have hardened 1**.

“An Lin, I have just one question for you. Were you the one who took care of the five Holy Palace Leaders?” Elder Zhu suddenly asked.

An Lin hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Yes, it was me.”

He didn’t need to hide this fact from anyone. After all, his level of power was a mystery that no one would dig into.

The entire Heavenly Court knew about how he slew the Dark Night Monarch of the Dark Wing Tribe, so all the elders of the Vermilion Bird Sect most likely knew about it as well. As such, it wouldn’t really have come as too much of a surprise that he had slain a few Holy Palace Leaders.

Sure enough, Elder Zhu only nodded after hearing this. There wasn’t the slightest hint of surprise on his face, and it was as if he were already mentally prepared for this answer.

“Then from now on, you’re one of the honorary elders of the Vermilion Bird Sect,” Elder Zhu announced with a smile. “This is your elder badge, make sure to keep it in a safe place.”

An Lin was completely transfixed to the spot as he accepted the badge.

He knew just how valuable the position of an honorary elder was. This meant that he could receive the same treatment and remuneration as an elder of the sect. Provided that all the prerequisite conditions were met, he would even be able to access all the forbidden areas of the sect. On top of that, he didn’t need to contribute anything to the sect in return.

This was like receiving the wages and benefits for a job without actually having to do the job.

“This…” An Lin suddenly felt like the badge was extremely heavy in his hands.

Let alone all the sect disciples, the role of an honorary elder was something that even the sect elders yearned for!

“Don’t refuse this, it’s something you deserve. Your efforts in recovering the Holy Vermilion Flame meant more to the sect than you could ever imagine. You’re the hero of the entire sect!” Elder Zhu gazed at An Lin deeply before a smile appeared on his face. “Come on, let’s go pick out some treasures!”
