Hello everyone, let's give a huge shout-out to our new adventurers 'chaoscrimson' who join us on this journey!
***********************************
The atmosphere at Heavenly Snow Mountain was warm because of the father and daughter pair reconciling, pouring out their hearts to each other.
Xue AoTian dissolved the marriage between his disciple Gu Yingbing and his daughter Tian'er.
Gu Yingbing was very displeased, asking his master to reconsider but Xue AoTian didn't think for another moment, but he still secretly advised him to work hard and try to win Tian'er's heart because only then he might have the chance.
Gu Yingbing's father, Gu Site was also disappointed by the Mountain Lord's actions since he wanted to rule over the Heavenly Snow Mountain by letting his son marry Tian'er and inheriting the Saint Land.
Because Xue AoTian was Mountain Lord, despite being the King of the WanShou Empire, Gu Site was unable to order the Tiger tribe led by Xue Aoying, Xue AoTian's younger brother.
Both of their tribes belonged to Royal families but Xue Aoying had a slightly higher position, all thanks to his elder brother.
Gu Site wanted to enjoy that benefit too, he wanted to stand at the top of the Heavenly Snow Mountain.
Xue AoTian had made a rule to create a balance between the two tribes. That the tribe to which the Mountain Lord belonged, could never compete for the position of the Emperor of the WanShou Empire.
So, in the future, if Gu Yingbing became the Mountain Lord, the position of the Emperor would pass on to the Tiger tribe immediately.
Xue Aoying was aware of the greed of the Lion King Gu Site but he could not do anything since not only the Lion King was slightly stronger than him but his elder brother had forbidden the clans from fighting each other...
On the other hand, at the center of the continent stood the strongest Empire in the entire Continent.
The ZhongTian Empire!
The land they occupied was mostly arable land suitable for farming, and their entire territory was even larger than the WanShou Empire. Aside from that, the strongest Saint Land was also hidden here, supporting the empire.
The Heavenly Expanse Palace!
Into the large hall of the Palace, Shagguan Xue'er was standing at the center with a calm and composed expression.
In front of her, Shagguan Tianying and Shagguan Tianyue had taken their seats on the thrones.
Aside from the three people, three more people were present in the hall, watching Shagguan Xue'er with a worried expression.
One was Shangguan Fei'er, second of the Shangguan Triplets.
The second one was an elderly man with silver hair and beard, a Heavenly King stage powerhouse. His name was Shangguan Longyin and he was the Master of the Storing Skill Palace.
Normally, he didn't have the surname Shangguan but because of his loyalty and great service to the Heavenly Expanse Palace, the Palace Master gifted him with the surname Shagguan.
The last but not least was a young man draped in white robes, looking at the Palace Master with a worried expression.
His name was Zhan Lingtian and he was a top core disciple of his generation in Heaven's Expanse Palace, the same as Shangguan Xue'er who led the top core disciples as the strongest.
"Xue'er explained to me clearly! What the hell happened back there?" Shangguan Tianyue was impatient and asked quickly with a furious expression.
"Tianyue, calm down!" Shagguan Tianyang was calm, contrary to his little brother, and smiled at Xue'er. "Take a deep breath, Xue'er, and explain everything to us clearly."
Shangguan Xue'er nodded her head and continued with her usual cold expression.
"Palace Master, everything happened around one and a half years ago..."
Shagguan Xue'er was wandering around the Consolidating Equipment Pavilion, inspecting the goods when her eyes landed on the pair of a young man and a young woman who bought a few stuff despite it being so expensive.
But there was something else that caught Shangguan Xue'er's eyes which startled her. She usually had her cold and indifferent face but at that moment, she could not help but show an unbelievable expression.
She quickly left the Consolidating Equipment Pavilion and followed them.
Xue'er followed them to a small restaurant that she failed to recognize but she still entered inside.
Looking around, her eyes caught the sight of them climbing upstairs, and stepped ahead to follow them.
"Excuse me, Miss. Do you want something?"
However, at that moment, a waitress called out to her.
Shangguan Xue'er was displeased and spoke coldly, pointing at the stairs. "I only have business with the two people who just went upstairs."
"Ehh? You want to meet the owner?" The young woman seemed surprised, asking again.
Xue'er furrowed his brows and muttered. "He is the owner of this place? How can it be..."
She waved her hand and climbed the stairs, under the eyes of the waitress who just sighed.
Shagguan Xue'er reached the second floor and didn't see their shadows so she continued to climb until she reached the fifth floor.
On the fifth floor
Just as Xue'er stepped on it, she saw the young man sitting near the window, staring at her with a light smile.
Even the woman beside her was watching her with great interest.
"Who are you, little girl?" Mingyue Wushuang opened her mouth and asked politely. "You're following since we left the Consolidating Equipment Pavilion!"
"My name is Shangguan Xue'er, a disciple of the Heavenly Expanse Palace," She calmly replied.
"Heavenly Expanse Palace?" Mingyue Wushuang raised an eyebrow after learning of her background. She had a doubt in her heart and wondered. "What does someone from the Saint Land want from us?"
"Yes, have you heard of us?" Xue'er raised an eyebrow and asked, even purposefully avoiding her status.
"Of course, I have heard of the Five Great Saint Lands! After all, the Five Great Saint Lands are basically the top five strongest powers in the land. They are the Top Palace of the Central – Heaven's Expanse Palace, the Top Valley of the East – Passion Valley, the Top Hell of the South – Blood Red Hell, The Top Evil of the West – Heavenly Demon Sect, and the Top Mountain of the North – Heavenly Snow Mountain. But what does someone from such a background want from us?" Mingyue Wushuang waved her hand and muttered.
Hearing Mingyue Wushuang speak the names of the Five Great Saint Lands casually like she didn't even put them in her eyes, Shangguan Xue'er was slightly displeased but it didn't stop her interest in them from growing greatly.
"There's no need to be wary," Shangguan Xue'er said calmly to Mingyue Wushuang, who was staring at her with interest, wanting to know her reason for approaching them. "I've no bad intentions Instead..."
