At four o'clock in the afternoon, Four Directions Huixue, who had been asleep, finally woke up.

Because of her resistance to another Huixue's will and the excessive use of "moonlight power", Four Directions Huixue had experienced severe mental exhaustion, which caused her to sleep until now.

She propped herself up from the bed and first tidied her appearance in front of the mirror. Only after everything was ready did she reach out and tuck the Nara Deer Hairpin that had been on the table close to her body.

"Phew..." Four Directions Huixue exhaled softly, determination flickering in her exquisite black eyes.

Next, she would have to meet with the Four Directions Family Head alongside Beichuan Master...

Thinking this, Four Directions Huixue couldn't help but feel nervous.

Although Beichuan Si had previously mentioned the situation on his end briefly, it did nothing to alleviate the unease in her heart.

After all, she had always lived under the oppressive education of the Four Directions Family, and she felt an indescribable dread towards the Four Directions Family Head.

But everything will be okay... It must be okay.

Four Directions Huixue placed her palm over her heart.

She believed that Beichuan Master would be able to put an end to everything.

With this in mind, she could only trust him.

Four Directions Huixue took another deep breath and relaxed slightly before she pushed the door open.

Then—

She couldn't help but blink in surprise, her voice tinged with bewilderment,

"What are you doing...?"

In front of her stood two neat rows of Four Directions Family clanspeople, as if they had all been waiting for her to wake up.

Upon Four Directions Huixue's inquiry, one of the leading men spoke with a touch of respect, "Miss Huiye, the Family Head wishes to see you."

The Family Head wishes to see me?

Four Directions Huixue's mouth fell agape.

The suddenness of the event left her mind unable to catch up.

Before this Four Directions Huixue could respond, the leading man stepped aside and the clanspeople behind him surged forward.

"Wait! What about Beichuan Master..." Four Directions Huixue opened her mouth, surrounded by the Four Directions Clan members.

But the clanspeople disregarded her completely and put Four Directions Huixue directly into a car.

What on earth has happened?

Could it be that something had gone awry on the Four Directions' end?

And Beichuan Master...

Everything had happened so quickly; by the time Four Directions Huixue was put into the car, she still didn't understand what was going on.

Sitting in the car, she felt somewhat restless. After a while, Four Directions Huixue looked towards the driver and spoke, "Excuse me, could you please tell me what exactly happened?"

The driver took another look at Four Directions Huixue in the rearview mirror, an odd expression on his face, "Miss Huiye... Do you really... not know what has happened?"

His voice was full of an awkwardness that was difficult to broach, seemingly unable to accept Four Directions Huixue's words.

Four Directions Huixue naturally noticed this and, after a long moment, asked curiously, "I hope you can tell me."

"…When Miss Huiye meets with the Family Head, everything will become clear. He actually arrived at Tenkawa Village yesterday."

The driver shook his head, showing no intention of lingering on the subject, but his last words caught Four Directions Huixue's attention.

The Four Directions Family Head had actually arrived at Tenkawa Village yesterday?!

Her face paled and her palms began to sweat.

Noticing the change in Four Directions Huixue's expression, the driver kindly added, "The Family Head actually arrived at the Four Directions Family's private residence in Tenkawa Village yesterday, but he didn't reveal this to anyone else. We only found out today."

These words made Four Directions Huixue subconsciously tighten her grip on her sleeve.

The Four Directions Family Head had secretly come to the private residence in Tenkawa Village yesterday but had not disclosed it to outsiders...

His covert actions must surely be for the Elixir of Immortality!

He had come to Tenkawa Village in anticipation of some complication.

If they found out that the Elixir had been consumed by another Huixue... No... Even before that, the Elixir was inherently flawed... Would such an answer satisfy the Family Head, who had such high expectations for the Elixir?

Four Directions Huixue was entirely in the dark, her recently bolstered courage already beginning to waver.

And more importantly, Beichuan Master...

"Are you thinking about Beichuan Master?" a voice of inquiry came from the passenger seat.

The man who had led previously spoke calmly, "If it's about that Beichuan Master... Miss Huiye, there's no need for you to worry."

"..." Four Directions Huixue.

Why did this leading man know about her affairs with Beichuan Si?

Beichuan Master...

"What exactly happened to Beichuan Master?!" The thought that something might have happened to Beichuan Si made Four Directions Huixue unable to suppress her emotions any longer. The moon mirror at her chest unleashed a terrifying surge of moonlight, as sharp as the deadliest bayonet, aimed at both the driver and the passenger.

But what completely surprised Four Directions Huixue was that the driver and the leading man both chuckled sheepishly, "Huiye... Miss... don't be agitated. Instead of worrying about Beichuan Master, you might have to worry about..."

As they spoke, the two men exchanged glances and let out a burst of extremely helpless laughter.

Their victim-like demeanor left Four Directions Huixue somewhat confused.

...

The Four Directions Family private residence.

This was the property purchased by the Four Directions Family in this area before they left Tenkawa Village to develop in Tokyo.

After all, the area around Tenkawa Village was, to some extent, the ancestral land of the Four Directions Family; naturally, they wanted to leave a spark here.

But who could have expected—

"The spark of the Four Directions Family would turn out like this...?" The leading man looked at the front gate, his mouth twitching.
