Atop the walls of Ziyang City, Yue Ningshuang gazed upon the formidable army dominating the north, feeling quite heavy-hearted.
She thought about her life, which was undeniably stifled.
In the past, when she had competed with Jiang Chenyu for the position of Saintess, she had tried hard enough, but talent is indeed very important, and she couldn't surpass Jiang Chenyu. She lost the position of Saintess and, consequently, naturally lost the position of Palace Master as well.
Originally, she was honest and content, and though she failed, she never lost heart. She devoted herself to cultivation and, at last, became the second in command of Guanghan Palace, with a cultivation level only below that of Jiang Chenyu.
Had things continued to develop normally, being the second-in-command for a lifetime wouldn't have been unacceptable. After all, she was just beneath one person and above tens of thousands in Guanghan Palace.
