Hua Yan listened to An Shisan's words and remained silent for a long time.
Before she had come to the Capital City from the Hua Family, she had intended to secretly enter the Imperial Palace to investigate the secret manual about the Forbidden Technique left by the Nanchu Royal Family.

One time she suppressed her hysterical condition, and another time she couldn't hold it back at the high pavilion, resulting in an outburst of hysteria where she vomited blood and fell unconscious, with her life hanging by a thread. Tian Bujue and Yun Chi had pulled her back from the Gate of Hell.
