Chapter 2821:- Han Zi Fei (3)
Han Shu stepped into the study. The rows of bookshelves in the entire study were filled with old books. With the many years that had passed, the books could only be preserved in the cold environment of the Holy Mountain, and therefore were still intact. But upon closer observation, each of those books seemed to have been read countless times, the cornes were a little frayed.
The book here, Han Zi Fei had already flipped through countless times. During the time that she spent in the Sacred Maiden Tribe, she had always kept herself in the study, accompanied by these books.
Han Shu didn't understand this hobby of Han Zi Fei. This study was just a decoration for the first two Sacred Maidens. It wasn't until the appearance of Han Zi Fei, that the studies were really used.
Han Zi Fei was a freak. But to the entire Sacred Maiden Tribe, she was a maverick.
She was apparently the most honored Sacred Maiden, but she chose to defect, to abandon all her superior lifestyle, to abandon His Lord's favour. She survived on the outside on her own for thousands of years but yet she finally returned.
Han Shu and Han Zi Fei were similar in age, and they had more or less grown up together. It was not until their teens that Han Zi Fei was identified as the third Sacred Maiden. It was then that Han Shu truly realised the gap between her and Han Zi Fei.
That was the gap that she, no matter what, could not close.
"Please, sit." Han Zi Fei raised her eyes and saw a very rigid Han Han standing by the door, a smile twitched on her lips.
Han Shu lost focus for a moment, and then sat down on the chair. No matter how much she didn't want to admit it, as long as she stood in front of Han Zi Fei, she could not help but felt a strong sense of inferiority.
"Yes ... Elder Yun asked me to look for you." Han Shu took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
"Oh? What's wrong with Elder Yun?" Han Zi Fei raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Elder Duan and I came back this time with some guests. Elder Duan is going to host a banquet to entertain those guests, so you need to attend tonight." Han Shu said.
"Me?" Han Zi Fei laughed suddenly. "What has the guests of the Sacred Maiden Tribe to do with me? I only remember that in a few days' time, I will marry Lord Gu. Why do I need to see other guests? Is this how the Sacred Maiden Tribe use their Sacred Maiden?"
Han Shu's expression stiffened, as she felt stumped by Han Zi Fei's poisonous tongue.
This woman looked gentle and spoke softly, but she occasionally had a poisonous tongue and would say things that made people speechless.
"What kind of guest is able to make Elder Duan and Elder Yun put in so much effort and go through so much trouble?" Han Zi Fei held her chin with one hand, and squinted at Han Shu.
Han Shu was irritated by Han Zi Fei's stare, and she could only glanced away and said, "Naturally it is someone special. You just need to show up. If you don't want to attend, go tell the two Elders yourself!"
"You hate me?" Han Zi Fei said suddenly.
Han Shu was shocked as she looked at Han Zi Fei in disbelief. She simply could believe what Han Zi Gei was talking about!
Han Zi Fei's smile grew even deeper. "To be precise, you hated me since you were a child. You haven't changed at all, my little sister."
Han Shu's face turned an ugly shade of purple as she death glared at Han Zi Fei.
"It's a pity that no matter how much you hate me, you can't kill me, you can only stare at me with such a mean look." Han Zi Fei said with a smile.

Chapter 2822:- Han Zi Fei (4)
Han Shu was breathing hard with anger. In the past, Han Zi Fei would never have said such things, no matter how unhappy she was, it was as if Han Zi Fei had never noticed!
As it turned out, it wasn't that she was unaware, it was just that she had never said anything about it...
"Alright, you've glared at me for several days now. You better glare more at me, once I am married, you can only glare at my portrait." Han Zi Fei smiled and picked up the book she had left aside, holding it with one hand as her attention returned to reading.
Looking at Han Zi Fei's indifferent face, Han Shu's heart was burning up as if it was being baked by fire!
She stood up from her chair seemingly spooked, looked at Han Zi Fei and said, "I forgot to tell you that tonight's guest is my future husband, and the bearer of the second pair of dual Spirit Rings in the Upper Realm! I'm not sure, when compared with Lord Gu, who is more powerful."
Han Zi Fei looked up slightly, with a hint of wonder in her eyes.
Dual Spirit Rings?
How could there be dual Spirit Rings?
Han Shu looked at Han Zi Fei's surprised look with satisfaction and smirked proudly: "So tonight I still have to trouble Sacred Maiden to entertain my future husband."
Han Zi Fei looked at Han Shu but did not speak.
Her silence greatly satisfied Han Shu.
"Well, Elder told me to pass the message, and I have already done so. I shall not stay any longer, and take my leave now." Han Shu turned away and left with pride. In the moment she turned around, her eyes were full of intense unwillingness and ambition.
She would not lose every single time to Han Zi Fei. This time, she must win. Whatever the case, she must win the heart of the Lord of Sea Spirit City!
Han Zi Fei looked at the departing posturing of Han Shu, the surprise on her face slowly disappeared, as well as the cynicism between her brows. She put down the book in her hand and frowned while thinking.
"The dual Spirit Rings exponent... Han Shu..." Han Zi Fei had a feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't pinpoint what it was. She thought for a long time but got up suddenly and walked towards the bookshelf. She flipped open several ancient books to check something but after searching for a long time, there appeared to be no result.
Eventually, she sat back but the urgency in her grew stronger.
She didn't have time to bother about others...
No matter who the dual Spirit Rings exponent was, it was not something she could interfere with.
With the sunset, the moonlight shrouded the entire Holy Mountain. As the moonlight shone down on the white snow, the snow reflected the moonlight and it looked extra bright, though much milder than the sun.
Upon Duan Qi's return, she had ordered the tribe to set up a banquet, and all members of the tribe immediately executed that order. At night, the banquet had already been readied in the big hall of the Sacred Maiden Tribe and awaited for the event to begin.
Duan Qi wanted to avoid mistakes from arising and thus, Elder Yun and her came to supervise the undergoings earlier in the day. Checking over everything repeatedly till they were satisfied with things.
"The time is approaching, do you need to send someone to invite City Lord Yan to come to the hall?" Elder Yun looked at the time and asked.
Duan Qi shook her head: "Yan Hai's character is elusive. As he had promised, I think he will arrive to the appointment on time. Let's wait a moment more." She looked around.
In addition to the few main positions, more than twenty seats had been arranged in the hall, and the beautiful women of the tribe had been seated during this time.
.
.

Chapter 2823:- The Only Person (1)
These women were all selected from the Sacred Maiden Tribe as the most suitable to conceive the next generation. Tonight they were gathered together for the banquet, and each one was beautifully dressed.
It was hard to imagine that, with the status of the Sacred Maiden Tribe, that one day, these women would be gathered together to be selected by another person. If this news reached the 72 cities, there would be many people who would be surprised.
Han Shu was the most eye-catching tonight. She was wearing a white long dress, embroidered with silver lines. It looked like nothing special at first glance, but under the lights, the silver lines glittered as if stars were draped over her body. wearing a star-like beauty. The white dress contrasted her long black hair, along with that exquisite face, and she stood out greatly among all the flowers.
"Han Shu." Duan Qi was satisfied when she saw how Han Shu was dressed today.
Han Zheng stepped forward and greeted, "Elder Duan."
"You have dressed well today." Duan Qi said, she rarely gave praise.
Han Xuan was pleased that the tips of her brows rose, but she fought hard to repress her pleasure, lest it ruined her beautiful make up.
"Thank you Elder Duan for complimenting me. Women should dress up for their beholders. Han Shu also hopes that today, someone can appreciate the beauty of Han Shu."
The position of the Holy Son provoked Han Shu's will to fight, and today's meeting with Han Zi Fei made it rose even more. No matter who the other party was, as long as she could beat Han Zi Fei, she would do her best to fight!
"Have you passed on my message to Han Zi Fei?" Elder Yun asked, she didn't care about how Han Shu was today.
Han Shu lowered his eyes as she tried to restrain the resistance in her eyes and replied obediently, "Yes, I have."
"Oh? What did she say?" Duan Qi asked.
"The Sacred Maiden didn't seem to have much interest in today's banquet. I spent a bit of effort but I'm not sure if the Sacred Maiden has taken heed of your words." Han Shu bad-mouthed Han Zi Fei without batting an eyelid.
Sure enough, Duan Qi's brow was already furrowed.
Duan Qi didn't like Han Zi Fei. She was so inflexible and rude. Even though Han Zi Fei was the Sacred Maiden, she still had to be disciplined by the elders. And Han Zi Fei's escape from the Upper Realm had made Duan Qi very dissatisfied with her. If it wasn't for the fact that the next Sacred Maiden had yet to present herself, and also that Han Zi Fei had requested His Lord to betrothed her to someone, Duan Qi would never have tolerated the existence of a rebel.
"Well, it is said she changed, but I think she's still the same. I don't know how she did it but she actually managed to get His Lord to forgive her transgressions, and even arrange a marriage for her. Such bewitching sorcery, and to think that she is our Sacred Maiden. It's completely disgusting." Duan Qi didn't give any leeway as she showed her disgust for Han Zi Fei.
Han Shu held a trace of smugness in her eyes as she secretly smiled.
But Elder Yun had replied, "Forget it, she has been like that since she was a child. Since she has returned, let's not bring up the past. Besides, she will marry Lord Gu in a few days and leave Holy Mountain. Bringing these issues up will make others look down upon our Sacred Maiden Tribe. How Han Zi Fei is, is not important, what is important is the reputation of our Sacred Maiden Tribe."
The words of Elder Yun calmed Duan Qi's dissatisfaction slightly.
At this moment, the handmaid from outside the hall informed them that Jun Wu Xie had already arrived outside the hall. Duan Qi and Elder Yun looked at each other and immediately adjusted their emotions.
"Hurry, bring him in!"
After a moment, Jun Wu Xie walked into the hall alone. Tonight's banquet, Duan Qi only invited her. Even Jun Wu Yao and the others were not allowed to participate, so Jun Wu Xie had to attend the banquet alone.
.

Chapter 2824:- The Only Person (2)
When Jun Wu Xie stepped into the hall, the many women who had been waiting in the hall for a long time couldn't help but look at Jun Wu Xie. What they saw was a delicately handsome young boy but didn't look anything special.
Having been told that the guest was of noble status and they needed to spend more effort dressing up, the women could not help but be disappointed.
The teenager in front of them was far from what they had expected.
Only Han Shu's eyes sparkled when she saw Jun Wu Xie. If she wasn't afraid that she would ruin her image in Jun Wu Xie's mind, she really wished she could immediately walk up to Jun Wu Xie to show off her looks today.
"City Lord Yan." Duan Qi walked towards Jun Wu Xie first, a rare stiff smile appeared on her serious face.
"Please sit down," Duan Qi said.
Jun Wu Xie nodded slightly and sat down in her place.
Elder Yun observed what Duan Qi dubbed as the unparalleled young man in secret. From the appearance alone, she could not see anything special about him, except that his eyes were abnormally cold.
"This is Elder Yun. The other elders in the clan still have some things to deal with. After all, Lord Gu and the Sacred Maiden will be married in the next few days. Today, I am accompanied by Elder Yun. We hope City Lord Yan does not mind." Duan Qi spoke politely, but did not dare to mention whether Han Zi Fei would be present. The message previously conveyed by Han Shu seemed to indicate that Han Zi Fei didn't care much about today's banquet. Duan Qi had no other choice, but in her heart, the impression of Han Zi Fei dropped even more.
"Oh? The marriage is nearing. Then, is Lord Gu coming soon?" Jun Wu Xie said indifferently.
Duan Qi had long noticed that Jun Wu Xie was very concerned about Jun Gu, but she didn't think much about it, she thought that Jun Wu Xie just wanted to win over Jun Gu, after all, the Knight of Destruction was not someone whom ordinary people could come into contact with. Even as a city lord in one of the 72 cities, one was not privy to meeting him at all.
"Lord Gu should be here in the next two days. If City Lord Yan doesn't mind, you can always go with us to welcome Lord Gu." Duan Qi smiled.
Jun Wu Xie nodded slightly, it seemed that Jun Wu Yao's previous assessment was correct, and Jun Gu had not yet reached the Holy Mountain.
Duan Qi saw that Jun Wu Xie's reaction was one of indifference. Naturally, he didn't want to be snubbed despite showing good intentions so she just exchanged a glance with Elder Yun, and each took her seat. Today's protagonist was not them.
They had arranged for Jun Wu Xie to be seated in such a way that she would be able to see all the women at the banquet today. The hall was brightly lit and the warm light made the beautiful faces more attractive. They were all anticipating finding out which one of the women had caught Jun Wu Xie's eye.
Han Shu's position was closest to Jun Wu Xie. Moreover, today she had specially dressed up for the banquet. She watched as Jun Wu Xie, who was sitting alone, glanced around at the other people in a calm manner.
Because the appearance of "Yan Hai" was not top-notch, coupled with his young age, and combined with Jun Wu Xie's own petite figure, he looked like a young boy who hadn't puberty yet. It was difficult for the women of the Sacred Maiden Tribe to associate him as the dual Spirit Rings exponent. Most of them were observing from the sidelines.
And this happened to coincide with Han Shu's thoughts.
"City Lord Yan." Han Shu rose up while pretending to be elegant, took a cup of wine and walked to Jun Wu Xie's table in an enchanting manner, as she looked at Jun Wu Xie with feigned shyness and interest and said, "Before in Sea Spirit City, I had misspoken much and I asked that City Lord Yan to not blame me. I will give myself the forfeit of finishing one cup of wine as an apology for my behaviour."
.
.
.
Chapter 2825:- The Only Person (3)
Since Han Shu left Han Zi Fei's residence, she made up her mind to win over that dual Spirit Rings exponent, but Jun Wu Xie's previous indifference towards her was not fake. Han Shu pondered about it and figured that it was probably because of her impetuous words that had left a bad impression of herself with Jun Wu Xie. And that had led to the coldness Jun Wu Xie exhibited towards her. After which she crafted a plan by using her apology to resolve the 'dissatisfaction' that Jun Wu Xie ahd with her.
However, Jun Wu Xie had only raised her eyes slightly to look at Han Shu, who was obviously putting up an act in front of her, with utmost calm in her eyes.
Han Shu had thought by apologising in advance, even if Jun Wu Xie had any dissatisfaction with her, she would take this opportunity to ease the tension a little, but...
The smile on her face had turned almost stiff, but Jun Wu Xie still looked at her with those cold eyes.
Han Shu could feel herself squeezing out cold sweat, and struggled to maintain the smile on her face. She then drank the cup of fine wine she still held in her hand, and tipped it over to show Jun Wu Xie that it was emptied.
"City Lord Yan, please do not take offense with me, I have apologised to you." After Han Shu drank the wine, the alcohol added a little blush to her otherwise fair face, and under the candle light, she looked more beautiful.
However, there was still no reaction on Jun Wu Xie's face, she had neither accepted Han Shu's apology nor refused.
This made Han Shu, who had prepared a full belly of moves, want to puke. At that moment, she did not know what to do...
Duan Qi looked a little anxious, Han Shu and Han Zi Fei were born of the same mother, but because they had different fathers, their pureblood lineage was very different. However, the most likely candidate to have a pureblood descendant, if possible, Duan Qi hoped that it would be Han Shu and Jun Wu Xie.
If Jun Wu Xie wanted Han Shu to be his wife, the Sacred Maiden Tribe would not say anything, as long as if the female baby bore by Han Shu was left with the tribe.
However, Jun Wu Xie's unresponsiveness really caused Duan Qi to start pouring out cold sweat on Han Shu's behalf.
After Han Shu's limbs had turned numb from Jun Wu Xie's unnerving stare, a figure appeared at the entrance of the hall.
"Today is really lively, our Sacred Maiden Tribe hasn't entertained guests in a long time." The gentle and pleasant female voice echoed in the quiet hall and had surprised everyone who heard it.
When Jun Wu Xie heard the familiar voice, her hands, which were hidden within her sleeves, could not help but involuntarily clenched themselves.
Han Shu, who was standing opposite her, felt as if she was struck by lightning when she heard the voice, as she turned abruptly to look at the person who had entered the hall.
The hall was already covered by moonlight, and the person, who was clad in a pure black dress, walked slowly into the bright hall. Although it was such a somber black, however when worn by the person, it didn't seem at all rigid, instead it looked as if that colour belonged to her.
Han Zi Fei!
Han Shu stared unbelievably at Han Zi Fei, who was walking into the hall, and her eyes seemed to want to spit out fire.
Han Zi Fei already looked amazing. Although she had not applied any makeup today, she was still more beautiful than any of the women in this hall. Even the well-dressed Han Shu, when compared to Han Zi Fei, lost.
There was indeed such a person, even dressed in coarse linen, who would be unable to hide her absolute beauty.
Han Zi Fei was that person.
Han Shu's hand holding the wine glass tightened a little, and the smile on the corner of her mouth disappeared in an instant.
.
.
.
Chapter 2826:- The Only Person (4)
Han Shu exhausted her efforts as she wanted to be the most beautiful person today, but with the appearance of Han Zi Fei, it had obscured the spotlight on her.
In the presence of Han Zi Fei, Han Shu's countenance was that of a withered flower, she was no longer breathtaking.
The moment Duan Qi saw Han Zi Fei, she involuntarily frowned. She had no opinion with regards to the appearance of Han Zi Fei, but she was informed that this was a welcome banquet, and yet she attended wearing a black dress. Although it looked beautiful, it was not appropriate for today's occasion.
However ...
Duan Qi secretly glanced at Jun Wu Xie and found that Jun Wu Xie turned her face slightly, as if looking at Han Zi Fei.
"What? Do you not recognise me?" Han Zi Fei smiled nonchalantly, her long sleeves fluttered slightly as the evening breeze blew, causing the candles to flicker in the hall.
The candlelight flickered, but it dazzled the human eye and shocked the mind.
All the women in the hall stood up and saluted Han Zi Fei in unison: "I pay my respects to the Sacred Maiden."
The corner of Han Zi Fei's lips kicked up into a smirk as she waved her hand casually.
"Elder Yun, I wonder if I'm late?" Han Zi Fei's eyes shifted slightly to look at Elder Yun sitting in her chair.
Elder Yun said with a smile, "Your timing is just nice. The Sacred Maiden has been busy with wedding matters in recent days. It's been hard on you. Please sit down first." Elder Yun's reply was ingenious. In terms of time, Han Zi Fei was a little late. However, Elder Yun did not intend to slap the Sacred Maiden in her face in front of outsiders, naturally she had to find something to gloss over.
Han Zi Fei sat down in her seat casually, and glanced around the hall while everyone was seated. Only Han Shu remained standing stiffly in front of a table. In that position, Han Shu was blocking the person behind her from full view. Han Zi Fei could only glimpse a petite figure, but could not see the actual appearance.
"I heard that there are esteemed in the tribe. Naturally, I wanted to come join in the festivities." Han Zi Fei said with a light smile.
Elder Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was very afraid of the mess Han Zi Fei might have caused in today's occasion.
Duan Qi still frowned, looking somber.
Han Zi Fei looked at Han Shu who stood stiffly rooted to the ground and she raised her eyebrows slightly. The smile upon her lips grew larger.
"Han Shu, why are you just standing there? Unless the esteemed guest is so precious to you that you can't let others take a look?"
Han Shu was stunned by Han Zi Fei's words and stared fiercely at Han Zi Fei.
Elder Yun said: "How can it be? Han Shu had some misunderstandings with City Lord Yan previously, that's all. Han Shu, you have drank the wine, you should go back to your seat. I don't think City Lord Yan will argue with a young lady like you. It was just a misunderstanding."
"City Lord Yan?" Han Zi Fei froze slightly as a subtle feeling suddenly rose in her heart.
Elder Yun smiled and said, "Yes, this esteemed guest is incredible. He was once one of the lords in the 72 cites. But now, he has unified the 72 cities under his leadership. Han Shu, please go back to your seat and let the Sacred Maiden meet City Lord Yan. "
Han Shu pursed her lips, nodded slightly, and reluctantly moved away.
The moment Han Shu moved away, Han Zi Fei's eyes stared unblinkingly at Han Shu's back. The 'City Lord Yan' mentioned by Elder Yun had somehow made her think of someone.
And when the man behind Han Shu revealed to Han Zi Fei, the smile on Han Zi Fei's face froze in an instant!

Chapter 2827:- Perfect Acting (1)
That face with that pair of beautiful eyes were so familiar that they made Han Zi Fei's eyes tremble slightly.
WHowever when Jun Wu Xie and Han Zi Fei had eye contact, her gaze was so calm. She nodded at Han Zi Fei and said: "Good to see you Sacred Maiden, I am Yan Hai."
Han Zi Fei stared at Jun Wu Xie in a daze.
That silence made Duan Qi feel a little strange. She turned to look at Han Zi Fei in an enquiring gaze.
Of course ...
"It turns out that you are the distinguished guest of my tribe, you are surprisingly young." Han Zi Fei's smile bloomed again, raising her eyebrows slightly, but showing a slight disapproval.
Duan Qi frowned slightly. Apparently she didn't like the way Han Zi Fei spoke, but she didn't say anything. Today, she invited Han Zi Fei to come over to make an appearance. Han Zi Fei would marry Jun Gu in a few days. Her fate with the Sacred Maiden Tribe would basically end soon.
Now Duan Qi was more concerned about Jun Wu Xie.
Han Zi Fei glanced at Jun Wu Xie before she looked at Duan Qi with interest.
"The message that the two elders brought made me full of expectations, but I didn't expect ..." Her tone was filled with hidden meaning.
Han Shu who was standing by the side had turned even stiffer. Even a fool could tell that Han Zi Fei's attitude toward Jun Wu Xie was quite unkind, filled with contempt. This made her want to suppress Han Zi Fei by using Jun Wu Xie. Han Shu could not bear it further. She immediately said, "Sacred Maiden, you made an indiscreet remark. Although Lord Yan is young, other than the Lord, who else can be a Dual Spirit Ring exponent? Sacred Maiden should not judge one's strength by his age."
Having said that, Han Shu did not look back at Jun Wu Xie. She pretended that she is fighting injustice for Jun Wu Xie.
Jun Wu Xie did not respond, and remained indifferent.
Han Zi Fei chuckled and said, "Oh? As Han Shu said, that's an incredible young man. It's my fault. Let me toast to you."
Nonsense, how could my daughter be comparable?
Han Zi Fei's face remained calm. When she raised her glass to toast, she caught a glimpse of Jun Wu Xie who held a wine cup in her hand. She then put her own wine cup down and picked up a cup of tea instead.
"But I am unable to drink too much, I can only substitute tea for wine. I would like to seek your understanding." Han Zi Fei laughed and said.
Han Shu stared at Han Zi Fei, she didn't want Han Zi Fei to underestimate Jun Wu Xie. However, at the same time, she didn't want Han Zi Fei to pay too much attention to Jun Wu Xie as well, her heart was in conflict.
Jun Wu Xie saw that Han Zi Fei replaced wine with tea, as a smile flashed past her eyes and picked up the tea on the side and held it up, "Sacred Maiden, it's so polite of you."
Two of them drank a cup of tea in front of the whole group of maidens, drinking slowly and elegantly. But they did not know that many people's eyes were ignited with flame.
Han Shu sat in her seat and looked at Jun Wu Xie casually drinking her tea. The only thing that she was short of doing was tearing her own sleeves in anger. She suppressed the anger within and took the initiative to step forward to toast and apologise to Jun Wu Xie. Not only did she not respond to Han Shu, Jun Wu Xie did not speak a word to her.
Han Zi Fei was very rude to Jun Wu Xie. Even though her apology was insincere and she replaced tea with wine, Jun Wu Xie actually accepted it!
At this moment, Han Shu's hatred towards Han Zi Fei seeped deep into her bones. She could not wait to pounce on her and tear up her beautiful face!
.

Chapter 2828:- Perfect Acting (2)
Although Duan Qi and Elder Yun felt that Han Zi Fei's attitude was a little too frivolous, Han Zi Fei had given a certain amount of face, so naturally they didn't say much.
Han Zi Fei saw the reaction of Duan Qi and the others as a cold glint flashed across her eyes as a sneer appeared on her beautiful face. She pretended to look at Jun Wu Xie casually and although there was no abnormal expression on her face, she was extremely shocked in her heart.
Why did Jun Wu Xie come to The Sacred Maiden Tribe?
And...
Han Zi Fei remembered what Han Shu had said before. She couldn't recover from her shock for a long time.
Her Little Xie turned out to be the strong Dual Spirit Ring exponent?!!
How could this be...
At this moment, the only thing Han Zi Fei could do was to keep calm. She would never let Duan Qi realize that she and Jun Wu Xie knew each other.
In this regard, both Jun Wu Xie and Han Zi Fei had exactly the same idea.
Jun Wu Xie smiled indifferently to Han Zi Fei's insignificance.
Obviously, Han Zi Fei was smarter than she thought.
Just seeing Han Zi Fei's situation today, Jun Wu Xie became more confused.
Just like what Jun Wu Yao had mentioned before, in terms of Han Zi Fei's strength, there was almost no one in the Sacred Maiden Tribe who could suppress it. But why did she return? Back to this prison where she had escaped for thousands of years?
That was where Jun Wu Xie couldn't understand.
Duan Qi and the other's reaction towards Han Zi Fei seemed to be worried about her yet they also seem to be guarding against her. Despite all of this, there was no intention of suppressing her at all. Han Zi Fei's personal freedom seemed to be completely unrestricted. Previously, Jun Wu Xie and others had guessed that she was under control. But now, her situation was completely different from what they had initially thought.
Obviously, it was Han Zi Fei's own will to return to the Sacred Maiden Tribe and stayed here.
But...
Why?
Jun Wu Xie didn't understand. If this was Han Zi Fei's own choice, she would naturally respect it. If Han Zi Fei really finds her beloved, she would give her blessings but this did not include Jun Gu, or at least until Jun Gu had regained his freedom. Jun Wu Xie did not want her father to do anything against his will and be under control.
Thinking of this, Jun Wu Xie suddenly said: "I heard that the Sacred Maiden will soon marry one of the Knights of Destruction?"
Han Zi Fei looked at Jun Wu Xie, a smile flashed across her eyes.
Her little girl seemed to be worried.
"Yes, in a few days, I will marry Lord Jun Gu." Han Zi Fei said with a smile.
"Lord Jun Gu is the one who became the Knight of Destruction at a later time. I wonder if the Sacred Maiden has ever seen him before?" Jun Wu Xie looked at Han Zi Fei and her heart was a little complicated. She was extremely fond of Han Zi Fei, but ... the person of Han Zi Fei's marriage would place Jun Wu Xie into an awkward position.
According to her calculations, Han Zi Fei fled from the Upper Realm for thousands of years, but Jun Gu came to the Upper Realm more than ten years ago and had recently became a Knight of Destruction. Han Zi Fei only returned a while ago. According to the timeline, she should have never met Jun Gu before.
If there were no feelings, Jun Wu Xie would do things without any burden.
Han Zi Fei looked at Jun Wu Xie with a smile that did not resemble a smile. Jun Wu Xie's meaning was clear to her. Her little girl seemed to be tangled about her marriage with Jun Gu.
"Is this important? Lord Jun Gu is the Knight of Destruction. There's no need to doubt what an excellent man he is. I think it should be the wish of every woman to marry such a man." Han Zi Fei lowered her gaze and narrowed her eyes as a glint flashed by.

Chapter 2829:- Perfect Acting (3)
Han Zi Fei's words made a hint of worry flash by Jun Wu Xie's eyes.
What Han Zi Fei conveyed to her, made it clear that she was willing and this marriage was voluntary and not forced upon by others.
That...made Jun Wu Xie really tangled.
"Since you have not met him before, Sacred Maiden is still willing to entrust yourself to him for life?" Jun Wu Xie looked up. She wanted to save Jun Gu, but she didn't want to hurt Han Zi Fei. So ... she hoped that Han Zi Fei would dispel this thought.
"Other than being famous, I've heard that ... Lord Jun Gu is modest, handsome and powerful, so why not?" Han Zi Fei looked at her worrying little daughter with a smile, and the idea to tease her even more lit up in her mind.
Their own children were the best and all parents wanted their children to be happy. She saw Jun Wu Xie's calmness and sensibility. Han Zi Fei felt happy, but couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
How many setbacks did it take to make this young Jun Wu Xie hone into what she is now?
This wisdom and calmness only made Han Zi Fei feel bad for all that Jun Wu Xie had experienced in the past.
Her child should have grown up happy and carefree ...
Jun Wu Xie's brow frowned slightly. She was not good at words at first. Facing Han Zi Fei's determination, she really did not know how to respond. If she was not worried about revealing her identity in front of the Sacred Maiden, she really wanted to summon the black cat out. The black cat's sharp teeth were much easier to use than hers.
Looking at her worrying little girl, Han Zi Fei laughed out and was in a good mood. Her gentle laughter tinkled across the hall, but she did not know what kind of thoughts had roused up in the others.
At this moment, Han Shu was silently gnashing her teeth.
After meeting Jun Wu Xie, she had never said a few words to her. She always had a cold expression. Her words were precious like gold, even towards Duan Qi she rarely spoke, but ...
Ever since Han Zi Fei appeared, Jun Wu Xie's attitude had changed significantly!
Instead of being disgruntled because of Han Zi Fei's rudeness, she accepted Han Zi Fei's apology so easily. Now she could even chat with Han Zi Fei. Even a fool can see Jun Wu Xie's attitude towards Han Zi Fei was much better than that of others!
Although there was no smile at all and not much was communicated, Han Zi Fei was the only person whom Jun Wu Xie looked straight at.
This alone was enough to make Han Shu's chest hurt.
Why?
Why did she get to have all the good gains?
Was Han Shu really not comparable to Han Zi Fei?!!
Han Shu became red-eyed and stared intently at Han Zi Fei.
At the same time, Duan Qi and Elder Yun's expressions turned sombre.
Han Shu was concerned about everything only because of jealousy. But Duan Qi and Elder Yun did not have this mindset. They had realized that Jun Wu Xie treated Han Zi Fei specially. Although Han Zi Fei did not react at all, this was not what they wanted to see!
As known, the reason why they invited Jun Wu Xie to the Holy Mountain was to let Jun Wu Xie choose a woman among the maidens to continue the next generation. But among these women, only Han Zi Fei was not included!
Han Zi Fei will marry Jun Gu in a few days. If Jun Wu Xie fancied her, how will they explain to Jun Gu?
This was not the result that Duan Qi and Elder Yun wanted to see. But they had just realized their mistake and looked at the beautiful Han Zi Fei under the illumination of the lights. They finally realized that Han Zi Fei's appearance was outstanding!

In front of Han Zi Fei, the beauty of other maidens in the Sacred Maiden Tribe were overshadowed by her. Even if Duan Qi could not deny this fact.
Now it seemed like ...
Inviting Han Zi Fei over was really their biggest mistake.
The only good news was that Jun Wu Xie seemed to show a little attention to Han Zi Fei. Han Zi Fei did not seem to mean anything. She had already made clear the fact that she was married to Jun Gu. Though Duan Qi had a lot of dissatisfaction in Han Zi Fei, she thought Han Zi Fei was still doing a good job.
Duan Qi and Elder Yun glanced at each other. Both saw anxiety in each other's eyes.
Elder Yun sighed and said suddenly: "Lord Jun Gu is the dragon among the people, and Sacred Maiden can rest assured. Previously, the family of my maiden family had served Lord Jun Gu and you can rest assured Lord Jun Gu is definitely the most suitable candidate for Sacred Maiden. "
Elder Yun and the others could only assert and emphasize Han Zi Fei's "determined heart" towards Jun Gu.
Of course ...
As soon as Elder Yun said this, Jun Wu Xie's brow frowned slightly. She suddenly thought of the woman who appeared in the Soul Realm and appeared next to Jun Gu and forcibly took him away.
Is it possible that the person is from the Sacred Maiden Tribe?
"That's natural." Han Zi Fei nodded slightly in cooperation.
Aside from Han Shu being unwilling and jealous, she happened to see Jun Wu Xie's frown. She murmured in her heart that only if it's true that Jun Wu Xie really fancy Han Zi Fei. The unwillingness in her heart made her suddenly feel and she said: "Lord Jun Gu is a Knight of Destruction. He is naturally a man of high moral standing. Since ancient times, beautiful women have matched heroes. In the eyes of the Sacred Maiden, only the unattainable man can match it. How can an ordinary man and a Sacred Maiden be matched?"
Han Shu's words were awful, it was clear that Han Zi Fei was snobbish. And it was Jun Gu's identity that she was fond of.
Han Zi Fei raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at the provocative Han Shu. She found it funny. She slightly tilted her head, supported her chin with one hand, her lips raised, and indifferently said: "Yeah, in this world, the person I want to marry is only one Lord Jun Gu. And only he can only marry me. "
Han Shu was almost vomiting blood on the spot when Han Zi Fei declared it out loud.
She was obviously sarcastic about Han Zi Fei, yet how could she reply so? Having said that, it meant that she was not good enough for Lord Jun Gu?
Han Shu had never won a fight with Han Zi Fei, be it verbal or physical.
Han Zi Fei's words made Jun Wu Xie more depressed. But in front of so many people, she couldn't say anything, she could only lower her eyes and not respond for the time being.
A banquet carefully arranged by Duan Qi finally made everyone's heart heavy and full of questions. In the following time, how could Duan Qi and Elder Yun care about letting Jun Wu Xie choose a beautiful lady. Even if it was a top beauty, so long there was Han Zi Fei was still around, it was akin to having no other beauties at all.
It was better to prevent what was happening between Jun Wu Xie and Han Zi Fei now.
Jun Wu Xie did not even realize that her conversation with Han Zi Fei had made Duan Qi suspect that she had no intention towards Han Zi Fei.
It was Han Zi Fei who looked at all this, only that things became more and more interesting. But ... she didn't care about those beside her. She just admired her little daughter's tangled appearance.
The little girl's reaction was really cute.
.

Chapter 2831:- Seriously Want To Marry (1)
At the banquet, Duan Qi and Elder Yun had a fright. What they most expected now was that Jun Gu came earlier to marry Han Zi Fei, so that Jun Wu Xie could find her own maiden. Or else, having such a big beauty around like Han Zi Fei, the other maidens were not comparable to her at all.
Where did Han Shu still have the mood to eat? Her pair of eyes were either looking at Jun Wu Xie with affection or staring at Han Zi Fei with her teeth gritted. This woman was really confused and did not know what to do. She mostly kept her head down and said nothing.
Jun Wu Xie had no other thoughts at the moment. She was tangled in the question of "how to convince Han Zi Fei to give up Jun Gu".
Only Han Zi Fei was full of smiles, enjoying wine and food, and from time to time she glanced at her confused little girl.
By the end of the banquet, the farce was finally over.
Everyone dispersed. Duan Qi and Elder Yun came forward to say a few polite words to Jun Wu Xie and exchange some courtesies while she absent-mindedly replied a few words and left.
When she left, she secretly followed Han Zi Fei instead of returning back to her residence. As she followed her secretly, they arrived at the Sacred Maiden Hall.
Han Zi Fei walked under the silvery moonlight and her black dress added a bit of mystery to her. Her serving maid greeted her diligently but Han Zi Fei waved her hand in dismissal and said: "I drank quite a bit of wine tonight. I wish to remain in the courtyard to wake myself from the drunkness. You can step down, don't bother me."
The maid nodded nicely and retreated.
No matter what Han Zi Fei did before, but now she is still the Sacred Maiden of The Sacred Maiden Tribe. Other than the words from the elders, no one dares to disobey her words.
The night was deep and the snow white flowers were blooming on the snow in the courtyard.
Han Zi Fei swept away the frost on the stone bench, sat down indifferently, looked up at the beautiful moon when she said, "Come out."
In the quiet courtyard, Han Zi Fei's voice seemed to have a little echo.
A figure flashed under the moonlight, yet there was no trace on the snow as she appeared before Han Zi Fei.
Jun Wu Xie appeared in front of Han Zi Fei expressionlessly. The moonlight and white snow reflected her pair of confused eyes and she appeared to have lost her usual sharpness and looked a little more bewildered.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. You little girl has grown up a lot. Can you really wield Dual Spirit Rings?" Han Zi Fei crossed her long legs as she looked at the "noble guest" with one hand propped on her chin.
Jun Wu Xie said: "Yes, I am able to."
For some reason, she obviously wanted to ask Han Zi Fei. However, it was Han Zi Fei's question that made Jun Wu Xie respond involuntarily .
Han Zi Fei scanned Jun Wu Xie from the top to the bottom, as if she wanted to find something on her.
"People in the Three Realms, no matter what their physical strength, no matter how high their talents, they can only condense one Spirit Ring at most. That is, no matter how much spiritual power they have, they can only make that one spiritual ring more powerful. Unless you have two spiritual powers in your body, else you cannot divide the spiritual powers at all. However, it is impossible to divide the spiritual powers. If you want to get a Dual Spirit Ring, the other Spirit Ring has to be bestowed upon by another. The Spirit Ring can only be removed when the person is willing to give it before it can be integrated into oneself. How did you get Dual Spirit Rings? "Han Zi Fei looked at Jun Wu Xie with a sombre expression.

Chapter 2832:- Seriously Want To Marry (2)
Han Zi Fei was very happy that Jun Wu Xie was powerful and adhered to her own principles. If Jun Wu Xie relied on her own capabilities to become strong like she was today, Han Zi Fei would be very proud of her.
If she hurt others in order to gain strength for herself or even took the lives of others, this would definitely be unacceptable to Han Zi Fei.
She didn't want her child to do anything cruel in order to achieve her goals. Because such a person would never succeed or find real happiness. Such a person would only live in calculations and struggles forever.
Jun Wu Xie looked at Han Zi Fei. For the first time, she saw Han Zi Fei with such a serious expression. The expression was as if an elder was examining an ignorant junior. Jun Wu Xie lowered her eyes slightly, her left hand slowly raising with a pale blue spirit ring gradually condensed from her hands.
Under the night sky, she had on a wistful expression.
"This Spirit Ring belongs to my Grandmaster." Jun Wu Xie's voice was somewhat suppressed.
"At that time, we were pushed into a desperate situation by the Upper Realm. He chose to explode so that we could escape and live. This Spirit Ring was handed to me before he blew himself up."
Han Zi Fei was a little stunned. When Jun Wu Xie had talked about the past before, she just described it with a few simple sentences. For those painful and depressed memories, she never talked about it to Han Zi Fei. Han Zi Fei only knew it that she was going to find her father, her master, her Grandmaster, but she didn't know ...
"He must be very happy." Han Zi Fei said suddenly.
Jun Wu Xie looked up with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Han Zi Fei smiled gently. She reached out her hand and rubbed Jun Wu Xie's head naturally.
"His disciple has taught such a good disciple like you. He must be very happy and liked you very much. Spirit Ring is extremely precious to any strong man. In the Upper Realm, there were once many Spirit Ring exponents. Even at the moment of their death, they will not give their Spirit Ring to anyone. To the Spirit Ring exponent, the Spirit Ring is their other soul. Your Grandmaster chose to pass the Spirit Ring to you is to hope that you can become strong in the future. That you will be so strong that you will never be hurt by anyone. And what you do now is what he expected. So ... if he knows this, he will be very happy."
Jun Wu Xie opened her mouth. She didn't know what her Grandmaster was thinking. She only knew that whenever she used this Spirit Ring, there would always be a burst of blood in her heart, soaking her cold heart.
"Don't be so distressed, if you let your master and Grandmaster see it, I'm afraid they'll be unhappy." Han Zi Fei pinched the tip of Jun Wu Xie's nose, and was very relieved.
Her Little Xie hasn't become an unscrupulous person and she was happy about that.
Jun Wu Xie looked at Han Zi Fei in a daze. She always felt that Han Zi Fei looked at her too gently and unknowingly, she got used to her tenderness, but ...
She came with a purpose tonight!
"I'm looking for you because ..." Jun Wu Xie frowned and thought about how to voice it out.
Han Zi Fei said directly: "You came to me because of the marriage which is happening a few days later?"
Jun Wu Xie nodded honestly.
Han Zi Fei looked at Jun Wu Xie with a smile, "You don't want me to marry Jun Gu, because ... is he your father?"
.
.
.
Chapter 2833:- Seriously Want To Marry (3)
Jun Wu Xie nodded again. When Han Zi Fei left, Jun Wu Xie didn't know that Jun Gu was the Knight of Destruction. She didn't know that Han Zi Fei knew all this. But now it seemed that Han Zi Fei knew it all along ...
Han Zi Fei looked at Jun Wu Xie, who suddenly became extremely honest. She couldn't help laughing again.
"I remember you said that your mother had died a long time ago. Now that your father is alone, he can't marry anymore? Or do you not like me?" Han Zi Fei looked at Jun Wu Xie seriously.
Jun Wu Xie was silent again ...
She couldn't accept it instinctively. The fact that her father remarried. In Jun Wu Xie's understanding of love, the concept was of one lifetime between two people. She couldn't accept any new beginnings. Even if it was her ... in this world, no matter how good a man can be, she could not accept it once again.
That heart had long been branded with Jun Wu Yao. Even if he disappeared, the branding in her heart would remain. Once they have given all their love, they will not change because of time, place and anyone. Not just that person, but those memories still belonged to them.
Jun Wu Xie had never seen her mother. But she believed that her father would not be such a forgetful person.
She didn't hate Han Zi Fei. In her heart, she clearly had a great affection for Han Zi Fei. Sometimes she also imagined that if her mother was a woman like Han Zi Fei, she would definitely be very happy.
Of course ...
All of these could not be confused.
Seeing Jun Wu Xie and not speaking again, Han Zi Fei couldn't help but chuckled. This little girl was usually very shrewd. But sometimes she could be simple and powerful. Although she didn't say it, she had a subtle look on her face. She had already shown her resistance.
Han Zi Fei really didn't know that she should be happy having the protection of her daughter from her mother or feeling helpless because her daughter was going to prevent her parents from getting married.
"This marriage was ordered by the Lord." Han Zi Fei's tone suddenly changed.
Jun Wu Xie looked up.
Han Zi Fei said: "But I asked the Lord to arrange this marriage as I know that Jun Gu is your father and that you want to save him. But Wu Xie, I have to remind you that the Knight of Destruction has something very important that was held by the Lord, and this is something they even didn't know themselves. If you want to save Jun Gu, you must snatch back from the thing that is held by the Lord, otherwise the person will be incomplete even if you managed to save him. "
"What?" Jun Wu Xie shuddered slightly.
Han Zi Fei went on to say: "Also, now there is a maiden around Jun Gu. That woman is good at witchcraft. She controls your father with the rhinoceros's horn. Unless another maiden replaces her to stay beside Jun Gu to monitor him, otherwise she won't leave or take away the control over your father. So ... Wu Xie, whether you are willing or not, but you must know that my purpose is the same as yours. The only way to save your father is to let me marry him. Only this way, when that woman leaves his side, it would give me a chance to find out exactly what was taken from him by the Lord. "
"My father ... what exactly was taken away? I don't understand." Jun Wu Xie had huge questions in her heart.
Han Zi Fei said: "I'm not sure. Maybe it's the soul or something else. the Lord isn't as simple as you think."
.

Chapter 2834:- Seriously Want To Marry (4)
"You know that person well?" Jun Wu Xie looked at Han Zi Fei. From Han Zi Fei's words and manners, she vaguely felt that Han Zi Fei and the Lord seemed to be familiar.
Han Zi Fei looked at Jun Wu Xie and chuckled: "Do you know who the first two Sacred Maidens were married to? I was supposed to be one of them, but I was lucky as my bloodline was purer, the Lord wanted me to cooperate with him to complete the Blood Sacrifice of the Three Realms rather than marry me back. Therefore, before I left the Upper Realm, I spent some time with him before. But I'm not that close with him and don't understand much, all that I know is that he is ... mysterious and perculiar, but one thing is certain, that is his strength. Even if you have a Dual Spirit Ring, bringing him down is not that simple. "
Han Zi Fei paused and said, "In terms of strength, Ye Jue's strength back in those days was much higher than the Dual Spirit Ring. But that man has a way to balance this power. I don't know what he is strong at. But as a whole person, there's just something strange about him If you want to challenge him, remember that you must be fully prepared or the consequences will be unbearable. "
Jun Wu Xie remained silent. She had not seen the person yet, but hearing it from someone else, she had a slight idea in her heart. The enemy she was about to face was unprecedentedly powerful. She had to plan and take each step carefully because if anything goes wrong, everything would be lost.
Jun Wu Xie could not afford to lose anything now. If she lost, she would lose not only her own life, but all the souls in the Lower and Middle Realm.
"If you want to become stronger, then use the sacred place of the Sacred Maiden Tribe to cultivate. That person has a special ability to control a person's will to a certain extent. Your mental strength may be good, but it is not enough to resist him. Your strong psychic force. You must use your mental strength to control his mind before confronting him." Han Zi Fei looked at Jun Wu Xie seriously.
Jun Wu Xie nodded her head and thought for a moment. She hesitated a little: "Duan Qi asked me to come here for ..."
"I know what they are thinking about, but you don't have to respond to them so eagerly. After I've married, the Sacred Maiden Tribe would have no maidens to take over. You just need to hang this matter in front of them and they can only leave it to fate." Han Zi Fei raised her eyebrows slightly as a glint flashed by her eyes.
"..." For the first time, Jun Wu Xie found that the gentle and dignified predecessor Zi Fei in the past had such a "lively" side
"Well, it's late, you should go back to rest first." Han Zi Fei looked at Jun Wu Xie with a smile.
Jun Wu Xie nodded her head before she turned away.
Looking at the back of Jun Wu Xie's silhouette, the smile in Han Zi Fei's eyes became gentler.
After Jun Wu Xie left the premises, she just stood there dazed under the moonlight.
She had come to talk to Han Zi Fei tonight about her marriage with Jun Gu. But..... in the end, they had inevidently talked about the Lord's affairs instead?
Jun Wu Xie felt that ...
She seemed to have been misled by Han Zi Fei's words.
However, what Han Zi Fei had said to Jun Wu Xie made sense. She was unable to stop it. If Jun Gu must have a maiden around him, she would prefer the maiden to be Han Zi Fei rather than the woman she saw that time in the Soul World.

Chapter 2835:- Parents (1)
After that banquet that had left almost everyone speechless, Duan Qi and Elder Yun had also calmed down a lot. They finally realized that by extending the invitation to Han Zi Fei for the banquet was arguably their worst decision ever made. And this decision had led them to be afraid of letting Jun Wu Xie choose a woman from the Sacred Maiden Tribe. They feared that Jun Wu Xie would choose Han Zi Fei, that would really make them shed tears of sorrow.
Because of this reason, Jun Wu Xie was left to her own devices these days in the Sacred Maiden Tribe.
The rumours about the Sacred Maiden Tribe were true. Jun Wu Xie had yet to venture to the sacred place of the Sacred Maiden Tribe, and even just at her residence, she felt that her psychic force was more refreshed than before. The past instructions which Han Zi Fei had given to Jun Wu Xie echoed in her ears, and thus she simply used these few days to exercise her psychic force under the supervision of Jun Wu Yao.
Han Shu tried to approach Jun Wu Xie several times, but was stopped by Duan Qi. Although in Duan Qi's heart, Han Shu was the most suitable candidate, any fool could see the coldness with which Jun Wu Xie had treated Han Shu with.
Before Han Zi Fei married Jun Gu, Duan Qi did not plan to let anyone approach Jun Wu Xie to fawn at her. If there were bad results, no one would be able to bear the consequences.
The last few days were spent very peacefully. Jun Wu Xie even released Little Lotus several times during that period. Little Lotus liked the Sacred Maiden Tribe area very much, because perhaps this was the best place to bring up the Heavenly Imperial Snow Lotus.
Time passed quickly, on the Holy Mountain, another group of distinguished guests were ushered in.
A group of men and women slowly walked into the Holy Mountain. The man who led the group was handsome and elegant, his tall and straight posture made Yan Xi, who was walking behind him, felt that the image was perfect.
"This is the Holy Mountain?" Jun Gu's footsteps paused, and he looked up at the nearby mountain peak. Under the clouds, the snow-capped mountain peak seemed to be a little piece of purity in this world. It made people feel carefree and relaxed.
"Yes." Yan Xi nodded obediently, although her face was calm,there was a strange look in her eyes. She was silent for a moment, but she raised her head slightly, and looked at Jun Gu's beautiful profile and asked, "My Lord, do you like it here?"
"I can't say I like or dislike it. The scenery is very unique." Jun Gu smiled.
Yan Xi was silent.
"You are a part of the Sacred Maiden Tribe. Your return this time, it's like a homecoming. Are you happy?" Jun Gu asked.
Yan Xi forced a smile and said, "It's alright."
There was a wry smile on the corner of her mouth, but there was a strong resistance in her eyes.
It didn't take long to reach the top of the Holy Mountain.
The Sacred Maiden Tribe has already received the news, and tribe elders such as Duan Qi and Elder Yun have already prepared in advance.
Jun Gu's status was noble, even their Sacred Maiden Tribe must entertain them carefully. Naturally, everything was properly prepared, not to mention ...
Duan Qi and the rest of the elders were anticipating the arrival of Jun Gu day and night for the past few days. They wanted to marry Han Zi Fei off earlier so that they could handle the matter of Jun Wu Xie. Thankfully, these past days, Jun Wu Xie did not have much contact with Han Zi Fei. This allowed Duan Qi, who had been living in fear and worry, felt a bit of relief.
The Sacred Maiden Tribe was preparing to welcome these distinguished guests.
Of course ...
Han Shu was observing the preparation in one corner, the jealousy in her eyes was almost dripping out.
She turned abruptly and walked towards Jun Wu Xie's residence.
.
.
.
Chapter 2836:- Parents (2)
In her residence, Jun Wu Xie received the news from Ye Sha that Jun Gu had arrived at the Holy Mountain and was received by the Sacred Maiden Tribe. However, Jun Wu Xie, at this moment, was abnormally calm. There was no sense of anxiety within her even with the arrival of Jun Gu.
While Jun Wu Xie was not anxious, someone else was anxious.
Han Shu knocked on the door of Jun Wu Xie's residence. After Ye Mei brought her in, she immediately came before Jun Wu Xie.
"City Lord Yan." Han Shu looked at Jun Wu Xie, who was sitting on a chair and had a strange cold light in his eyes.
Jun Wu Xie looked up at Han Shu. Whatever intention Han Shu had regarding her, Jun Wu Xie was very clear, however she didn't have the slightest idea of how to deal with Han Shu.
What she gathered from Duan Qi and the others, Jun Wu Xie knew that Han Shu and Han ZI Fei were half-sisters. However, they were only half-sisters in name, and their temperaments were vastly different. Han Zi Fei was easy-going and calm, Han Shu, however, was scheming and heavy-minded.
Han Shu looked at Jun Wu Xie. In the past few days, she had wanted to approach Jun Wu Xie countless times. But she was always stopped by Duan Qi for some reason or other, until she did not dare to act rashly. But today, the moment she saw Jun Gu appeared as Han Zi Fei's fiance, the floodgates of jealousy in her heart burst opened, and she could no longer control it.
Why?
Why were all the good things in the world given to Han Zi Fei?
What was the reason?
Han Zi Fei had clearly betrayed the Sacred Maiden Tribe, betrayed the Lord, and betrayed the Upper Realm. Why was it that she only had to admit her mistake and returned voluntarily, and every seemed to have forgotten her betrayal and accepted her back into the easily?
Even betrothing Jun Gu, one of the Knights of Destruction, to Han Zi Fei?
Han Shu would not be resigned to this!
And her only chance was Jun Wu Xie.
Only by getting Jun Wu Xie to like her, and for her to give birth to the next Sacred Maiden, would she be able to vent out all the things she had suppressed within herself.
Even Han Shu herself didn't know why she suddenly came to Jun Wu Xie, but when she saw Jun Wu Xie, she understood.
She was unable to forget Jun Wu Xie's special treatment towards Han Zi Fei at the banquet previously. Today, she wanted Jun Wu Xie to witness with her own eyes how good Jun Gu and Han Zi Fei were together, in order to completely break Jun Wu Xie's connection to Han Zi Fei.
"City Lord Yan, Lord Jun Gu has just reached the top of Holy Mountain. Now Elder Duan and the others are welcoming him and his party. Before, didn't City Lord Yan want to get to know Lord Jun Gu? Now would be a good opportunity for City Lord Yan, won't you come together with mer?" Han Shu tried hard to calmly smile, but the burning in her eyes betrayed her intentions.
Jun Wu Xie glanced lightly at Han Shu, who was constantly snubbed despite showing 'good' intentions, how much did this woman desire for power that could make her embarrass herself time and time again without regards to her dignity?
But...
This time, Jun Wu Xie did not intend to embarrass Han Shu any more.
She finally deemed to speak to Han Shu, and said, "Lord Jun Gu is a guest of the Sacred Maiden Tribe, and I am the same. Without the consent of the elders, I will not take the liberty to go, I'm afraid that will be rude."
Han Shu's eyes brightened slightly. This was the first time Jun Wu Xie responded to her. Although there was no emotion in her response, Han Shu saw a glimmer of hope. She couldn't help saying, "The Sacred Maiden Tribe is easy-going and the elders won't say anything. "
.

Chapter 2837:- Parents (3)
"Really?" Jun Wu Xie looked at Han Shu lightly, but her eyes discretely glanced at Jun Wu Yao who was beside her.
"That's natural. Han Shu is willing to take City Lord Yan there, as long as City Lord Yan agrees." Han Shu bowed her head, as she pretended to be bashful. But in that moment that she lowered her head, she missed the hint of killing intent that shone from someone's eyes. That someone who was sitting beside Jun Wu Xie.
Jun Wu Xie looked on calmly at Han Shu's poor performance. While Han Shu bowed her head, Jun Wu Xie raised her hand and lightly pressed on the back of Jun Wu Yao's hand.
The killing intent in his eyes was too strong, as long as the person was not a fool; that person would notice it.
Jun Wu Yao raised his eyebrows slightly. Looking at Jun Wu Xie's disapproving eyes, he could only restrain the killing intent, however, that killing intent did not disappear but was hidden in his heart.
To fawn over his little guy right in front of him, this Han Shu was tired of living?
"Since Miss Han Shu has good intentions, then I shall not be impolite and refuse. I thank you for your efforts." Jun Wu Xie said faintly. Actually, she was thinking about how to see Jun Gu before, but she did not think of her method. When he came out, Han Shu brought it to her.
Since Han Shu wanted to make use of her, then there naturally should be an exchange, right?
Han Shu was exuberant by Jun Wu Xie's response that she immediately blushed. She nodded again and again, as this joy did not come from the intentions of a lady but the chase for ambition.
Thus, with Han Shu leading the way, Jun Wue Xie left her residence.
At the peak of the Holy Mountain, Elder Duan and the other tribe elders were in the square, welcoming Jun Gu. Even the normally stiff-faced Elder Duan left out a rare smile upon seeing Jun Gu, and respectfully welcomed him.
"Lord Jun Gu's presence brings light to our Sacred Maiden Tribe's dwelling. arrival came and led my maidens to prosperous and glorious. Lord Jun Gu must be travel-worn from this long journey." Duan Qi rarely showed humility.
Although the Sacred Maiden Tribe held a high status, even the top ten exponents had to pay them much respect and courtesy, it did not include the Knights of Destruction.
The Knights of Destruction belonged to the Lord, and he placed a lot of importance on them as they were an important source of power for him. No one could disrespect them. In addition to that, after Han Zi Fei is married to one of them, the Sacred Maiden Tribe would have the most pureblood descendents. How could Duan Qi not lower her attitude?
"Elder Duan is being modest." Jun Gu smiled freely and elegantly and it made his handsome appearance even more noticeable.
However, such a beautiful smile was actually an eye-sore to Yan Xi, who was standing to the side, her eyes held a trace of unhappiness as her glance swept past Elder Duan and others.
Duan Qi noticed Yan Xi's strange behaviour, and while she remained calm on the surface, she took offence to her behaviour.
"Lord Jun Gu should rest for a while. We have prepared a welcome banquet for you, Lord Jun Gu. Once Lord Jun Gu is well rested, we can enjoy the banquet." Duan Qi smiled as she said this.
Jun Gu was in a good mood, and naturally nodded in agreement.
Duan Qi immediately ordered her people to escort Jun Gu to his residence, and using the excuse that she hadn't seen Yan Xi in a long while, made Yan Xi remain in the square with her.
After Jun Gu left, the welcoming party dispersed, leaving Duan Qi and Ya Xi standing on the square.
The smile on Duan Qi's face faded in an instant, she frowned slightly as she looked at Yan Xi, and asked "Yan Xi, what are you unhappy about?"
Yan Xi froze slightly, lowering her eyes and dared not to speak.
.

Chapter 2838:- Parents (4)
Duan Qi frowned as she observed Yan Xi's reaction. Shrewd as she was, how could she not notice the intention of Yan Xi.
"It was His Lord's intention to send you to Lord Jun Gu at the beginning since you do indeed have some skills. But, you also need to be clear of who you are and your status." Duan Qi's tone was extremely stern.
Yan Xi's face grew paler, and she could only lower her head as she remained silent.
"Lord Jun Gu is one of the Knights of Destruction, and his status is far superior to others. You should be very clear about your role beside him. I don't care what you think and what kind of intentions you have. You must be clear that the marriage between the Sacred Maiden and Lord Jun Gu was promised by His Lord. It isn't for us to disobey that order. Whatever unhappiness you have, you better swallow it." Duan Qi said coldly.
Yan Xi clenched her fists tightly as an unwilling flame ignited in her eyes. She raised her head suddenly,looked at Duan Qi and said, "Why? Why is it her? Elder Duan! I have been accompanying Lord Jun Gu for so many years! If His Lord had to choose someone from the Sacred Maiden Tribe, then it should be me! Who is Han Zi Fei? She betrayed the Sacred Maiden Tribe and betrayed the Lord. What right does she have to marry Lord Jun Gu??"
The anger that Yan Xi suppressed in her heart broke out at this moment.
She didn't want to deny or ignore her admiration for Jun Gu. Such an excellent man was someone that no woman in the world could resist. She had always thought that the person who would be standing next to Jun Gu would be her, and only her.
But when she found out that His Lord had betrothed Han Zi Fei to Jun Gu, the shock which she felt was not something that anyone could understand.
Based on what?
She had given so much and waited for so long. Why then, when Han Zi Fei came back, Jun Gu was 'bestowed' to her? What was that based on?
"Your question, only Han Zi Fei can answer you. I might as well tell you that this betrothal was not initiated by His Lord but was requested by Han Zi Fei. So, if you want to hate, then hate the fact that you are not comparable to the Sacred Maiden. In the future, even when you stay by Lord Jun Gu's side, you will only see him and Han Zi Fei being together." Duan Qi sneered.
Yan Xi took a deep breath and while she obviously didn't want to admit it, she was very clear that what Duan Qi said was true, but she didn't understand why Han Zi Fei did it!
"For my Sacred Maiden Tribe, I have already done and instructed what I need to. I hope you are aware of your own position." Duan Qi looked at Yan Xi coldly, then turned away.
Yan Xi stood alone for a long time.
However, there were two figures who saw clearly what had transpired in the square.
After Han Shu saw Duan Qi left, she turned around and said to Jun Wu Xie, "It seems that we are one step behind, I am afraid that Lord Jun Gu has gone to rest first. "
She originally wanted to take Jun Wu Xie to see Jun Gu, she didn't think too much about Han Zi Fei, but she did not expect that when they arrived, they witnessed the conversation between Duan Qi and Yan Xi. However, it was a pity that Han Shu's spiritual power was not strong enough, and she was also afraid of being found out, hence she did not dare to venture too close. The words exchanged between the two of them, she didn't manage to hear a thing.
Jun Wu Xie's eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at Yan Xi, who was standing alone on the square, there was a flash of coldness in her eyes.
It was really her!
That day in the Soul World, she was the one who had forcibly taken Jun Gu away, and she was the person standing on the square!
.
.

Chapter 2839:- The Clue (1)
Han Shu did not hear the conversation between Yan Xi and Duan Qi, but Jun Wu Xie heard everything clearly.
On the surface, Duan Qi seemed to warn Yan Xi to be dutiful. But these words when heard by a woman with admiration, it would arouse great hatred.
Yan Xi was interested in Jun Gu. With Han Zi Fei's sudden appearance, Yan Xi felt that Han Zi Fei had snatched away the person who should belong to her. In addition, Duan Qi repeatedly compared Han Zi Fei to her. The comparisons had created a big gap between them and deep hatred had started to manifest towards Han Zi Fei.
According to Han Zi Fei's words, after she was married to Jun Gu, the Lord would not let Yan Xi leave immediately. Duan Qi knew that taking Yan Xi away meant that Yan Xi might get along with Han Zi Fei in the future. But she tried to provoke them and create conflicts so as to block Han Zi Fei.
Jun Wu Xie sneered in her heart. Duan Qi's method of killing one with another's knife was really neat!
Han Shu did not wait for Jun Wu Xie's response. She found that Jun Wu Xie's gaze had turned very cold. She couldn't help but be surprised as she whispered, "Lord Yan?"
Jun Wu Xie came back to her senses and looked at Han Shu: "Who is that person there?"
Han Shu glanced at Yan Xi as a look of disdain flashed past her eyes. She said softly: "Her name is Yan Xi, she is a maiden of the Sacred Maiden Tribe but her bloodline is so thin that she is not really considered our tribe member. She is very careful as she knows that she has an impure bloodline and has poor psychic force, so she learned witchcraft with Elder Luo. She has some skills, but these side-doors skills could not be recognised. But she is lucky enough that she had gained the Lord 's appreciation. Previously, she was arranged to serve next to Lord Jun Gu. "
Han Shu despised Yan Xi from the bottom of her heart. If she was very humble in front of Han Zi Fei, then Yan Xi was just as unimportant to her. But ... Yan Xi could survive with her witchcraft, whose status in the Sacred Maiden Tribe gradually surpassed her. This made Han Shu extremely disgusted with Yan Xi.
It was jealousy.
Jun Wu Xie didn't pay attention to Han Shu's jealousy. But in Han Shu's words, Jun Wu Xie caught a crucial piece of news.
Elder Luo ... Witchcraft ...
Jun Wu Xie subconsciously linked these two points with Luo Qingcheng and the life and death worm.
"Elder Luo?" Jun Wu Xie deliberately looked at Han Shu.
Han Shu looked at Jun Wu Xie with admiration and naturally she spilled everything.
"Elder Luo is an elder who cares for the Sacred Land. She has the same qualifications as Elder Duan, but she rarely asks about things within the clan. She usually only focuses on the Sacred Land and Witchcraft. Yes, the strongest of the Top Ten experts, Luo Qingcheng is the child of Elder Luo. "
Really!
Jun Wu Xie narrowed her eyes slightly. This Elder Luo was indeed related to Luo Qingcheng. She began to wonder if the witchcraft she studied, could she find more clues about the life and death worm?
"However, Yan Xi is not qualified to compare with Elder Luo. If Lord Yan can enter the Sacred Land to practice in the future and meet Elder Luo, you will be able to tell the difference between the two." Han Shu looked at Jun Wu Xie shyly, her expression all coquettish .
Jun Wu Xie pretended not to see it.

Chapter 2840:- The Clue (2)
During the conversation, Yan Xi had left. Han Shu wanted to take advantage of this rare "solitary" opportunity to establish a deeper bond with Jun Wu Xie.
In the end...
"Since Lord Jun Gu has already taken a rest, then I will go back first." Jun Wu Xie left such a sentence without a moment more, she left just like that.
Han Shu was dumbfounded ...
When she regained her senses and wanted to catch up with Jun Wu Xie, she discovered that the figure she had been seeking had already disappeared.
At this moment, there was only one person who could tell Jun Wu Xie the answer that she seeked most.
"Why are you here?" Han Zi Fei was sitting in the study and saw the figure suddenly coming in through the window, raising her eyebrows slightly as she put down the books in her hand.
"Who is Elder Luo? What is the witchcraft she studied?" Jun Wu Xie asked her doubts directly.
Han Zi Fei froze slightly. She never thought that Jun Wu Xie would come to find her and ask about this.
"What do you know?" Han Zi Fei did not answer Jun Wu Xie's question directly.
"I saw Yan Xi." Jun Wu Xie said: "Yan Xi is an apprentice to Elder Luo. She controlled my father with the rhinoceros horns, so ..."
"So you're thinking, is the poison from Ye Jue's body the result of Elder Luo's witchcraft?" Han Zi Fei continued Jun Wu Xie's unfinished words.
Jun Wu Xie nodded her head.
Han Zi Fei laughed lightly.
"You are very clever, but you don't know well enough about the Upper Realm. Elder Luo does have some skills, but to suppress Ye Jue's poison is definitely not something that she can make. Only His Lord knows where it came from, that's why you don't have to ponder too much on it. But if you have the opportunity to enter the Sacred Land to train your psychic force, you will have the opportunity to get close to Elder Luo instead. Since you want to unravel the secrets of the life and death worm from Ye Jue's body, you must understand more about the poison, do you understand? "Han Zi Fei said in a warm voice.
"Mn." Jun Wu Xie answered.
Han Zi Fei looked at Jun Wu Xie with a smile and suddenly asked: "Do you love him very much?"
"What?" Jun Wu Xie froze slightly, looking at Han Zi Fei in amazement.
Han Zi Fei chuckled: "The moment you attained some clues, you came to me so eagerly to ask. Doesn't this show that you love him very much?"
Her little girl had grown up. She seemed cold but there was warmth hidden within her.
Jun Wu Xie opened her mouth but for a while, she didn't know what to say.
Han Zi Fei looked at Jun Wu Xie's dumbfounded expression and couldn't help feeling happy.
"Alright, I shan't tease you any further. You better head back soon. Now that Yan Xi is back to the Holy Mountain, presumably Jun Gu is here too. I don't think it will be long before Duan Qi should come to see me to discuss meeting with your father. When I meet you again, I won't be able to have a conversation like this. You know, they are all guarded against you and me right now. "
Jun Wu Xie was still left a little speechless by Han Zi Fei, but she also knew how serious the matter was and she could only leave as she had her answer.
In an instant, Jun Wu Xie disappeared.
Han Zi Fei looked at the empty study, but the smile at the corner of her lips slowly dissipated, and her pair of beautiful eyes drooped slightly There was a lingering figure in her heart.
My husband, we are going to meet again.
Our marriage this time round, would be held in front of our daughter.
Do you know?
Are you happy?
