At the outskirts of Five-Finger Peak, Yun Roumu watched Ye Yu streak across the sky, disappearing in a flash of light.
Her heart leapt with joy, and she immediately wanted to follow.
However, before she even left Qingyun Sect, she had already lost sight of him.
The vast disparity in cultivation realms left Yun Roumu with a profound sense of defeat.
Thinking back, it all felt surreal.
Just a few months ago, during their mission to the Great Qian Dynasty,
Ye Yu was still the junior disciple following behind her.
But now, in such a short span of time,
his progress was nothing short of astonishing.
At this point, Yun Roumu couldn’t even discern his cultivation level anymore.
To make matters worse, the Dao companions Ye Yu had chosen weren’t just stunningly beautiful but each possessed extraordinary strength.
Even their master, Luo Ze, had admitted feeling inferior in comparison.
This left Yun Roumu feeling utterly helpless.
Compared to them, she couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of inadequacy.
And yet, the more she felt this way,
the stronger her desire to prove herself.
She wanted to stand by Ye Yu’s side as an equal,
to have a rightful place in his life,
and to avoid being left without even a chance in the end.
After much contemplation,
Yun Roumu decided to take a bold risk.
If she couldn’t win his heart outright,
she would resort to using elixirs to tip the scales.
First, she would make the deed irrevocable and deal with the consequences later.
Thus, she found herself sneaking into the sect’s alchemy hall to procure the necessary elixirs.
But to her dismay,
she was caught red-handed by Hall Master Cao Lang’an and their master Luo Ze. freewebnøvel.coɱ
Not only were the elixirs confiscated,
but her access to the alchemy hall was permanently revoked.
This left Yun Roumu feeling deeply frustrated.
How could she take a bold risk if she didn’t have the means?
An empty risk was no risk at all!
Unwilling to give up, Yun Roumu tried sneaking back into the alchemy hall several times.
But each time, Hall Master Cao Lang’an was stationed right at the door,
seemingly doing nothing else but blocking her entry.
His sole mission seemed to be ensuring she couldn’t step inside.
This left Yun Roumu utterly exasperated.
Eventually, she decided to confront him directly.
“Master Uncle, must you be so strict?
“Just turn a blind eye for once. I’ll repay you for this favor someday!”
Cao Lang’an gave a bitter smile.
“Don’t bother repaying me.
“The Sect Master has ordered that all borderline elixirs be removed from circulation.
“If even one elixir leaks out, he said he’d break my legs.
“So whether or not you enter the hall, it’s the same—you won’t get anything.”
Yun Roumu felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her.
Getting caught trying to steal borderline elixirs by her elders was undeniably shameful.
But at this point, there was no turning back.
As long as she could win Ye Yu’s heart, what did shame matter?
However, without the elixirs, she was stuck.
What now? Force the issue outright?
Yun Roumu’s cheeks flushed.
After some mental preparation,
she resolutely decided to climb Five-Finger Peak to confront Ye Yu directly.
But just as she reached the summit,
she saw Ye Yu leaving.
It seemed nothing was going her way.
Yun Roumu sighed deeply.
If only she were strong enough to keep up with him,
perhaps she could have found a chance to be alone with him.
But now, all she could do was watch him vanish from sight.
Yun Roumu sighed again,
but her gaze grew increasingly determined.
She had only one thought now:
to grow stronger as quickly as possible.
Only then could she keep up with Ye Yu’s pace
and never again be left behind.
Northern Wasteland Continent
Dayong Dynasty Royal Palace
Huangfu Baizhi and Liangyu were in the grand hall discussing state affairs.
Since Ye Yu’s departure,
the two of them had taken on the responsibility of managing the Dayong Dynasty’s development.
Their days were full and productive.
However, the next moment,
both Huangfu Baizhi and Liangyu simultaneously looked up.
A woman in white with an ethereal beauty was walking toward them.
On her head, she wore a pale yellow hairpin,
