Days passed before Ming Yue's group arrived at the city of Heaven's Gate. It still looked the same as ever, with towering spires and beautiful architecture.
She entered the institute at once, garnering the attention of many who recognized her. And many of those looks were pointed toward Hongyu, who was the source of confusion to many.
"A sister, maybe?"
"Hmm, wait a minute, I've seen her before! Isn't that the little girl that the three elders care for? You know, the Medicinal Elder, the Spirit Elder, and the Blade Elder!"
"You're right... It could just be her junior disciple... or do you think... her daughter?"
There were a few whispers here and there, some rumors started to spread.
However, Ming Yue didn't care much for it.
She headed straight for the Spirit Hall, looking for Elder Shen. It was still quite empty, devoid of any decorations or life really.
