Scarlet Flame Mountain Range.
There were three bald mountain peaks, scattered on three sides like the word ‘品’, and in between the three mountain peaks, there was a huge valley containing the Ling Bao Court.
Within the valley, towering stone columns stood in great numbers on a wide stone path, around which a stream of people weaved about.
On the stone walls of the three mountain peaks surrounding the Ling Bao Court, there were numerous caves, and from time to time, people from the Ling Bao Court went in and out of those caves.
Those caves were all caves, which were prepared for the Ling Bao Court’s tool smelting experts.
When those tool smelting experts entered into the caves, their clothes were all exquisite and their bearings were confident and at ease.
But, when they walked out from the cave, their appearance was a mess with their hair being messy and their face being dirty.
Of those tool smelting experts who walked out, some were holding a spirit weapon in their hand and loudly howled with laughter, while some were hanging their head dispiritedly down, with a look as if their father or mother had just passed away.
The large, gate entrance of the Ling Bao Court stood at the north entrance of the valley. Today, there were luxurious carriages taking the trouble of travelling a long distance to come here.
The An Family’s An Shiyi was wearing splendid clothes and her beautiful and tender face was filled with smiles. Upon seeing someone coming over, she would go to welcome them and help them settle problems like lodging and so on.
An Shiyi wore red clothes, including a red dress, a silver ring on her wrist, and a heart-shaped pendant that hung on her snow-white neck. Every single movement of her exhibited the most beautiful side of a woman, provoking others to fantasize.
Although she wore a light smile on her face from the beginning, within her eyes, however, there was a very deeply hidden sorrow.
With her position in the Ling Bao Court in the past, the Ling Bao Court would definitely not treat her unfairly and make her go and do something like receiving visitors.
However, because of the recent Green Illusion Realm trial where she, who was the person in charge of the Ling Bao Court’s side, didn’t detect the Ghost Sect’s and Blood Sect’s movements in time, she had seen a tremendous drop in her position in the Ling Bao Court. After all, that event had allowed for Yu Tong, Mo Xi, and several others to slaughter all of the Grey Valley’s disciples, and inflict serious damage to the other 3 sides.
In order to appease the other 3 sects, An Shiyi had been punished severely and had fallen to a degree where she had to welcome guests at the front of the sect’s entrance.
She, who had been sailing smoothly all those years in the Ling Bao Court and had received the court owner’s high regard, had practically never before met this kind of setback.
Because of the court owner’s high regard, the old men within the Ling Bao Court, who had evil intentions towards her, had also hid their intentions and not dared to be impudent.
Due to the failure to carry out her duty at the Green Illusion Realm trial, it was rumored that the court owner, who had always protected her, seemed to somewhat suspect her capability to handle things, and had removed her identity of a deacon.
Thus, within Ling Bao Court, some old men, who had been drooling for her beauty, immediately started to become restless.
In the recent period of time, all those people, that had been in the dark, had sent people to probe out her intentions, revealing their wish of wanting to become her partner.
After she had continuously rejected those people a number of times, she had discovered that her situation in the Ling Bao Court was getting more and more difficult.
“There must be absolutely no accident at this pageant. If not… things will be even more difficult in the future.” An Shiyi thought to herself.
- Hu Chi! Hu Chi! - Sounds of panting rang out.
A golden, three-horned beast pulled a huge carriage and slowly galloped forward from the north.
On the carriage, the Grey Valley’s Sang Bing’s look was gloomy as water, as she coldly observed An Shiyi.
On Sang Bing’s side, the moment Yuan Xian saw An Shiyi, she shouted severely, “An Shiyi, you actually still dare to have the face to come and welcome us? If it wasn’t for you, my family’s Feng’er wouldn’t have died in the Green Illusion Realm! It was because of you, who didn’t sense the Ghost Sect’s and Blood Sect’s movements, that my family’s Feng’er died!”
Yuan Xian was the blood sister of Cold Stone City’s Yuan Family’s head, Yuan Fengchun.
Yuan Feng, who had led the Grey Valley’s disciples into the Green Illusion Realm, was Yuan Fengchun’s grandson, and Yuan Xian, who hadn’t married in her entire life, had always treated Yuan Feng as her own grandson.
Yuan Feng being able to be deemed as a ‘seed’ by the Grey Valley, aside from his own innate talent being exceptional, was also because of her.
Although the Yuan Family’s Yuan Fengchun was a well-known person within the big families of the 7 cities, compared to his sister, Yuan Fengchun he wasn’t even worth mentioning.
From a young age, Yuan Xian’s innate talent had been exceptional, and as of today, she was already the fifth valley owner of the Grey Valley.
There were a total of five valley owners in the Grey Valley, and although she was the valley owner who was ranked last, within the Grey Valley, she was also a person whose identity was respected as the fifth valley owner.
It was because of her existence, that the Yuan Family was able to be that strong within the subordinate families of the Grey Valley.
It was also because of her that the Yuan Family was able to become the number one family in Cold Stone City.
During that time, the reason as to why the Yun Family had gotten rid of Nie Qian and let Yun Zhiguo marry Yuan Qiuying was because they saw highly of the Yuan Family’s special position in the Grey Valley.
After all, the Yun Family was the same as Yuan Family; both of them were subordinate families of the Grey Valley.
“Senior Yuan, Yuan Feng’s death… is due to the Ghost Sect and Blood Sect and isn’t related to me, right? If you want to take revenge, you should go and find the Ghost Sect and Blood Sect. Why is there a need to make things difficult for me?” An Shiyi, with a bitter face, forced herself to smile and said.
“The Ghost Sect and Blood Sect, I naturally won’t let them off!” Yuan Xian’s gaze was like ice. “But, you also similarly can’t escape from your responsibility! If it wasn’t for your failure in carrying out your duty and discover the movements of Ghost Sect and Blood Sect, how would they even have been able to set a foot into the Green Illusion Realm? If they couldn’t enter the Green Illusion Realm, how would Feng’er have even died?”
Speaking until here, Yuan Xian paused for a while and looked sinisterly at An Shiyi, then she suddenly said, “An brat, if you want to have a footing in the Heaven Leaving Domain with your beauty, then you should find a strong supporter. I heard that… within your sect, there are a few old guys, who are about to die, that have quite a favorable impression towards you. You should better obey them.”
“A woman like you, other than being good-looking, there is nothing else that you’re useful for.”
