Lize Palace was located on a remote island overseas, with treacherous terrain and well-concealed, such that even hundreds of years might pass without a visitor. Among the Five Great Sects that hosted the Flower Pinning Conference, it was the only one that didn't offer its own martial arts arena. The other four Sects were aware of the numerous strict rules of the Sect, including the requirement to wear masks and the prohibition against contact with women. Given that many female disciples participated in the Flower Pinning Conference, how could the event proceed without allowing women to enter?
Thus, the young disciples of Lize Palace had scarcely ever seen outsiders near their own gates. According to the Sect's rules, disciples needed to wear masks when outside, but inside the palace, such formalities were unnecessary. Therefore, the disciples playing in the water by the sea all showed their true faces and merely carried their masks at their waists.
