Chapter 445: An Uneasy Feeling In Her Heart

Stuffing the pain somewhere deep inside his heart, he replied in a voice that was so gentle and vulnerable, “Alright.”

Shen Yunya watched with sorrowful eyes as Xi Jin left, her eyes stained with hints of murderous intent. “Shen Qingdai.”

“Miss, why don’t you go there right now and…” The maid didn’t finish her sentence, but her intention was obvious enough.

“There’s no need. She’s still useful to me for now. Anyway, she is a fake, so she poses no threat.” Shen Yunya raised her hand and traced the scar on her palm. To get Brother Jin to even think about her, she had to leave a terrifying scar on her palm.

But when Brother Jin talked to her, the gentleness in his voice was still estranged, almost forced. As soon as Shen Qingdai was mentioned, on the other hand, his voice would become gentle like never before.

Shen Qingdai was already dead, yet she was still holding onto Brother Jin’s heart. What a minx! Shen Yunya regretted letting her die so easily. She shouldn’t have killed her so quickly. She should have kept her alive and tortured her some more.

Shen Yunya took a deep breath and hid her murderous intent behind a faint expression. She returned to her usual weak composure. “I have to write a letter. You need to deliver this letter to the Guiyuan Continent as quickly as possible.”

Right now, Brother Jin was hers. She will get betrothed to him when they came back from the Guiyuan Continent tomorrow. Anyone who tried to prevent their union from happening would be mercilessly killed.

Even since the discipleship induction, life at the Flying Frost Pavilion was uneventful like never before. Tu Xiupei did not seek out Feng Tianlan to create more trouble, and even the headmaster did nothing out of the ordinary. They even greeted one another early in the morning every day.

Feng Tianlan went to the Small Beast Forest every day to teach Pang Tai her Pill Refining Methods as she had agreed to do. Every time they met, she would be late by half an hour talking to the secret guards. Pang Tai never asked her why she was late. After all, he was the disciple and she was the master. A master did not need to explain her actions to her disciple.

Chuling and Luo Yunzhu did not become disciples of anyone in the Flying Frost Pavilion. They practiced in their usual way as Feng Tianlan had instructed them.

The days passed by peacefully—so peacefully, in fact, that it was odd. As if it was the calm before a great storm.

A month later, a letter arrived at the Flying Frost Pavilion. The letter was a spiritual ball crashing into a peaceful lake, displacing the water, creating endless tidal waves. A change was coming.

“Tianlan!”

Feng Tianlan was training in the Pill Scroll Realm when she heard Luo Yunzhu’s anxious voice. She came back to reality immediately.

“Tianlan! I have news, breaking news!” Luo Yunzhu pushed the door open and threw herself into the room. She grabbed Feng Tianlan by the shoulders. “People from the Xuantian Continent are coming here! They have sent word that this time they are making an exception and taking someone back with them.”

“What?” Feng Tianlan frowned.

“It was in the letter the headmaster received just now!” Luo Yunzhu thought she must have been unclear in conveying her message, so she repeated the contents of the letter with as much detail as she could remember. Because it came from the Xuantian Continent, the headmaster treated it like an Imperial Edict, and everyone was forced to listen as he read out the letter.

“Are the Supremacy the ones who are coming?” Feng Tianlan’s heart skipped a beat. She always knew that things were not as simple as they appeared to be. Making an exception and taking someone to the Xuantian Continent…could it be that Brother Jin was here to take Tu Xiupei with him?

Luo Yunzhu thought for a while and said, “Should be, it was not explicitly mentioned though.”

Feng Tianlan grunted in response and said, “I understand.”

“That’s it? That’s all you have to say about this?” She had rushed over in excitement as soon as she received the news. How could Feng Tianlan remain so calm?

“What else do you want me to say?” Feng Tianlan grumbled, folding her arms.

As if chastised by Feng Tianlan’s calmness, Luo Yunzhu suddenly realized that she was probably making a mountain out of a molehill. “Good point. It’s not like they are making an exception to take me with them.”

If they were making an exception though, it was more likely that they would take Feng Tianlan with them. Maybe Feng Tianlan would be the lucky one.

Feng Tianlan felt uneasy at the idea that Xi Jin was coming. She didn’t like the idea of him spending time with Tu Xiupei. It was a mistake somehow. Obviously, she had no way of telling him this.
