The sudden emergence of such a powerful aura instantly attracted the attention of the other Elders in the Sect.
One person after the next appeared in the sky and headed for the Core Yin Pavilion. Even Physician Yue Li and his assistant were making their way there as well.
As they approached the lofty tower, they were stopped by a mature-looking woman with a seductive figure that was floating in the air.
“Sect Master,” they greeted before looking around, “Where are the other Elders and the Second Yin Pavilion Master?”
“They’re currently watching over Junior Sister Fang Yu,” Shao Qinglian calmly replied.
She had been waiting for Ji Xian and Xia Lihua. She didn’t expect that Fang Yu’s breakthrough would attract the other Elders and even Yue Li to come over here.
Surprisingly, out of all of them, Yue Li seemed to be the most concerned. He stepped forward and asked anxiously, “Sect Master Shao, what is happening? Has the First Yin Pavilion Master’s illness gotten worse?”
His worried appearance caused the others to look at him with respectful eyes.
“Senior Yue Li is indeed worthy of being called the White Hand.”
“Yes. Just look at how worried he is for his patient.”
“No wonder everyone in Mortal Desolate goes to him for help.”
…
As everyone gave their praises, Shao Qinglian was indifferent.
Yue Li is someone who has hidden his thoughts deeply. What he was doing may seem righteous and good, but there was a goal that he was after. That goal was Shao Qinglian.
She didn’t think there was anything wrong with him trying to get her favor, but Shao Qinglian found the way he was acting to be very annoying. He was just so fake.
For some reason, she thought of Ji Xian as she stared at the nuisance that was Yue Li.
Shao Qinglian blinked and inwardly shook her head.
Ah! What am I doing? Why did I think about him? I’m the Sect Master of the Ardent Yin Sect! I can’t be doing this.
Sigh…what a dangerous man.
“On the contrary, Physician Yue Li. Junior Sister Fang Yu has completely healed. That’s not all, this setback had even allowed her to break through into the Late stage of the Holy realm,” Shao Qinglian replied. A smile hung on her lips as she spoke.
She had no more reason to invite these lustful physicians to the sect any longer. This would relieve the financial burden of the sect greatly.
“What!”
“The First Yin Pavilion Master has been cured?”
“So that powerful aura was from her breakthrough?”
“The Ardent Yin Sect has another Late Stage Holy realm expert! This is great news.”
Her words created a huge commotion.
“How is that possible?” Yue Li muttered in shock, “Is it possible that my efforts all these years have finally paid off?”
Shao Qinglian’s eyes slightly narrowed upon hearing this. Is he trying to shamelessly claim that he was the one who healed Fang Yu? How does that even make sense?
She quickly shook her head and just when she was about to explain, suddenly, the door to the Core Yin Pavilion burst open and a beautiful woman in a large white gown gracefully walked out. The moonlight shined onto her long blue hair that looked like a flowing waterfall.
She looked to be in her early twenties. She had big eyes and a pair of perfectly arched brows. But the first thing that people will notice upon seeing her were her lips. They were neither too large nor too small and they resembled a heart.
Seeing this woman, the people in the area became emotional.
“It’s really the First Yin Pavilion Master…”
“She has finally awoken!”
“I wasn’t sure if I would ever see this day…”
…
Fang Yu looked around. She seemed to be searching for someone. After taking a glance at Shao Qinglian and seeing her shake her head, Fang Yu stopped and turned to look at the bright moon hanging in the sky.
She floated higher and higher until she was above the clouds and silently stared at the moon.
…
Unknowingly, at some point, two drops of tears had slid down both sides of her face.
“Twenty-two years… It has been twenty-two years,” she muttered.
Fang Yu closed her eyes. She released her tremendous aura to its fullest extent while spreading her spiritual sense to its limits.
She needed to know that this wasn’t a dream.
With her spiritual sense, she saw the disciples of the sect, the birds in the sky, and the sea beasts in the ocean. Not only can she see them but Fang Yu can also feel them. They were real. She was awake.
Back at the Core Yin Pavilion, Shao Qinglian was getting emotional after seeing that Fang Yu had recovered. The two of them had grown up together. Their relationship was as close as sisters.
When Fang Yu was stuck in a coma, it worried her to no end. Now that she was fine, Shao Qinglian could finally breathe out in relief.
After Fang Yu left the Core Yin Pavilion, several people also walked out from within the tower. Most of them were long-time Elders of the Sect with important statuses.
There was one person among them who stood out from the rest. Where ever she goes, all eyes would land on her, not because she was a kingdom-toppling beauty, no… she was just far too average.
The Ardent Yin Sect was renowned for its beautiful women so to find someone so plain was more surprising than anything.
She had black hair down to her shoulders and brown eyes. Her facial features were forgettable, even the luxurious blue and white dress that she was wearing looked ordinary on her. There was simply nothing about this woman that stood out.
But this woman was actually leading the group of long-time Elders out of the Core Yin Pavilion. When the other Elders of the sect standing outside saw her, they hastily bowed.
“Greetings Second Yin Pavilion Master Li Yifan”
Shao Qinglian also nodded at her, “It’s been hard on you Yifan. Now that Fang Yu is back, you don’t have to look over the affairs of the First Yin Pavilion any longer.”
Li Yifan slightly shook her head and without any emotions, said, “It’s not worth mentioning.”
Shao Qinglian smiled before looking back at Fang Yu.
Li Yifan’s eyes glossed over everyone that was present. They moved passed one person after another before landing on the handsome young man that was standing next to Yue Li. He was carrying a medicinal box and looked insignificant.
She watched him for a brief moment before turning away.
Surprisingly, the young man noticed this. He frowned and a look of confusion appeared on his face. After a moment, he relaxed but from the subtle change in his posture, he looked wary of something.
