"Oh? Elder Xiao already knows?"
Xia Liu didn't hesitate, he sat down and finished his tea in one gulp.
"Senior Xia is so impressive, it's hard for people not to know."
"How does my imposing manner compare to your cultivating Ling Feng's Yin Elent?"
Xia Liu's expression suddenly beca serious.
He ca today to confront Xiao Xiang!
With Chen Yan still around, Xia Liu intends to see just how powerful Lady's Pavilion truly is!
Sure enough, upon hearing Xia Liu's words, Xiao Xiang's expression changed.
But quickly, Xiao Xiang returned to normal.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Elder Xiao, let's not beat around the bush. I had Ling Duo intimidate you so that your backing wouldn't co to fetch Ling Feng. I've understood everything long ago, why keep hiding it?"
Xiao Xiang was silent.
So that's how it is!
Last ti Ling Duo ca and told her not to contact the Envoy, it was actually orchestrated by Xia Liu!
"Xia Liu, I'll give you a piece of advice, so things shouldn't be provoked!"
Xiao Xiang said with a grim face.
"Oh? Could it be you have a Nascent Soul Stage monster behind you?"
"Humph! You keep talking about Nascent Soul Stage, do you really think you can contend with Nascent Soul Stage?"
"Of course not, but I can match the power behind you!"
Xia Liu said confidently.
"To be honest, Ling Feng was noticed by a Golden Pill Late Stage expert when she was young. At most, half a month from now, that predecessor will co to Imperial Sky Gate to take Ling Feng away. If you seek death, don't bla ."
Xiao Xiang said solemnly.
Three years ago, she negotiated with the Envoy, that if there was no contact for a long ti, that predecessor would personally co to Imperial Sky Gate to take Ling Feng away.
By then, Lady's Pavilion will face the wrath of a Golden Pill Late Stage expert!
"Golden Pill Late Stage! So terrifying, is this the reason for your inability to resist?"
Xia Liu asked.
"Can you resist?"
Xiao Xiang retorted Xia Liu.
She had just entered the False Elixir Stage realm, what qualifications did she have to contend with a Golden Pill Late Stage expert?
"Call Ling Feng over, she has the right to know all this."
"No way! If Ling Feng disappears, the entire Imperial Sky Gate will be obliterated!"
Xiao Xiang said furiously.
"Sorry, Senior Sister Ling Feng is already here."
As he spoke, Xia Liu pointed to the water's surface a mile away.
There, Ling Feng, dressed in white, was gracefully crossing the water.
Though she wore a veil, the crease of her furrowed brow was visible.
She was sowhat angry!
"Ling Feng!"
What Xiao Xiang feared most has still happened.
If Ling Feng found out she had been cultivated since childhood, she'd surely fly into a rage.
If she then ran away from Lady's Pavilion, Imperial Sky Gate would surely be helpless.
"Senior Sister Ling Feng."
"Junior Brother Xia, what were you just talking about?"
Ling Feng's tone was sowhat icy.
Because she heard so secrets but hadn't delved deeper.
"Ling Feng, it's none of your business, you should quickly go rest."
"Honored Master, I heard everything, I'm curious what Junior Brother Xia wants
to know?"
There's no way Ling Feng would leave; initially Xia Liu promised to tell her a secret when he returned.
"Senior Sister Ling Feng, do you rember the secret I ntioned before leaving?"
"Yes, I rember."
"The secret is, your Honored Master has been cultivating you over the years, or rather, cultivating the Yin Elent within you for the power behind her to harvest."
When Xia Liu finished speaking, Xiao Xiang collapsed into her chair.
Wearing an expression of utter despair.
She dreaded Ling Feng knowing the truth, then vanishing without a trace.
Now with Xia Liu standing firm, how could she possibly obey her orders again?
Ling Feng stood in place as if struck by lightning, completely at a loss.
"Honored Master, is what he's saying true?"
After a long pause, Ling Feng looked at Xiao Xiang and asked slowly, word by word.
"Ling Feng, let
explain."
"Honored Master! Even now you won't tell
the truth?"
Ling Feng shouted angrily.
She didn't want to hear any explanation; she just wanted to know whether Xia Liu's words were true.
Over the years, as her cultivation increased, Ling Feng felt a special force within her.
She had referred to quite a few ancient records.
Vaguely aware of that force's special nature.
She had always been avoiding this reality.
But today Xia Liu finally revealed it.
"Ling Feng, if you leave everything behind, not only I will die, but everyone in Lady's Pavilion will die, even Imperial Sky Gate won't survive!"
Xiao Xiang didn't respond directly.
She's making Ling Feng understand her importance.
Every move she makes affects countless lives!
"You're saying, Junior Brother Xia was right about everything, you were just cultivating the Yin Elent within , not truly caring about ?"
"Ling Feng, I have no choice, you grew up under my watch, how could I not care?"
Xiao Xiang couldn't say more, she was only entrusted by others.
But having raised Ling Feng, she found her feelings had surpassed the teacher-student bond.
But for the sake of the bigger picture, no matter what she felt, she could only sacrifice Ling Feng.
Otherwise, more people would die.
"Honored Master, I understand your predicant, and I understand your helplessness. Is there no other way?"
Ling Feng said tearfully.
She felt deep helplessness because she couldn't protect her Honored Master.
Letting her Honored Master suffer such great grievances and placing herself in danger.
"Senior Sister Ling Feng, don't be fooled by your Honored Master. If I'm correct, once she completes your cultivation, she'll receive abundant resources, even break through to the Golden Core."
Seeing Ling Feng still devoted to Xiao Xiang, Xia Liu bluntly revealed Xiao Xiang's lies.
For a young girl like Ling Feng who hasn't seen much of the world, emotional manipulation would be hard to resist.
Xiao Xiang didn't explain anything, even if everything Xia Liu said was true.
She chose not to respond, leaving everything up to Ling Feng.
"Junior Brother Xia, don't say anymore. I understand everything. You can leave."
Ling Feng stood up from Xiao Xiang's embrace and looked seriously at Xia Liu.
"Senior Sister Ling Feng, if your Yin Elent is harvested, you'll age painfully and suffer unimaginable agony, eventually dying slowly."
"What can I do then? If I leave, my Honored Master will die, even the entire Imperial Sky Gate will be silenced!"
Ling Feng exclaid in panic.
"No need to worry, as long as I'm here, so what if it's the Golden Pill Late Stage?"
"Huh? Junior Brother Xia, you're joking, even if the Foundation Establishnt is successful, you can't contend with Golden Pill Late Stage experts."
"How do you know if you don't try, right, Elder Xiao?"
Xia Liu looked at Xiao Xiang, hinting to her in a way Ling Feng wouldn't understand.
"Xia Liu, don't think you're so impressive, to be honest, in front of a Golden Pill Late Stage cultivator, you're nothing but an ant!"
Xiao Xiang no longer gave Xia Liu face, she wants Ling Feng to submit and wait quietly for the expert to arrive and take her away.
