Chapter 31 - Secrets in the Shadows

Xuan stood outside the Space Emperor Palace, the cool air carrying a sense of urgency. After his time in the palace, he had returned to the sect only to hear unsettling news ,

Feng Yuxin was engaged to Yun Tianhai. The realization struck him deeply.

Xuan thought to himself:

"Feng Yuxin... engaged to Yun Tianhai? I need to know if she agreed to this herself or if something else is going on."

Determined to uncover the truth,

Xuan decided to head toward Rising Sun Palace, the residence of Sect Leader Feng and his family. But he couldn't risk being seen. Reaching into his robes, he pulled out his most precious treasure, the Mask of Uncertainty.

Xuan whispers as he puts on the mask : "Mask of Uncertainty, hide me."

As he placed the mask over his face, he felt his presence vanish. His aura faded, his figure became invisible, and he slipped into the shadows, becoming undetectable to anyone around him. With a quiet determination, he made his way toward the Rising Sun Palace, his steps silent and his figure concealed.

Xuan moved with ease, passing the guards at the entrance without a single glance in his direction. The mask worked perfectly, hiding him even from those who would usually sense his presence.

He entered the palace and walked through the grand hall, his eyes sharp as he looked around. Voices caught his attention, coming from a nearby room.

He approached quietly, recognizing the voices of Sect Leader Feng and his wife, Ming Yue.

Xuan stopped just outside the doorway, his figure hidden in the shadows as he listened.

Ming Yue sighing said: "I understand the importance, but leaving the sect and traveling to the central region is a serious decision. There are many responsibilities here."

Sect Leader Feng: "True, but this alliance with the Yun family will strengthen our position. The engagement between Yuxin and Yun Tianhai is a part of this alliance. It's something we can't afford to lose."

Hearing this, Xuan's eyes narrowed. It was clear that the engagement was not merely a matter of personal choice for Feng Yuxin but part of a larger political move.

Xuan thinking and said:

"So, it's about power and alliances… they're using Yuxin's engagement as leverage."
