"Why not tell her the truth?" Elisande asked, a little confused.

Hu Feng shrugged. "Do you think she'll listen? Aegwynn is proud. While she respects me immensely as her grand-teacher, she'll still stick to her own ideas. Besides... this is a good thing."

"A good thing? You mean Aegwynn won't fail?"

"Haha, of course she won't fail. Not only will she not fail, it will be a great victory. But after that..." Hu Feng chuckled a few times.

Elisande immediately understood. Her master had seen the future, knew this would happen, and had a plan.

"It's good that you have a plan. If it's difficult for you, don't tell me about future events. I don't want to..."

Hu Feng didn't let her finish. He hugged Elisande and blew a breath by her pointed ear, causing her to tremble.

"What's there to not talk about? I trust you. You're my number one wife and head housekeeper."

Elisande's face flushed red as if on fire. Moved, she leaned into him.

"Thank you... I, I'm so happy to hear you say that."

Hu Feng laughed heartily, his hands moving as he continued, "Sargeras won't fall that easily. He deliberately lost the battle, abandoned his body, and his soul lurked within Aegwynn..."

"Mmm... don't... not now... you haven't finished talking... don't touch there... Ah!"

"Mmm... so soft... Uh, where was I? Oh, lurking within Aegwynn... So, think about it. Aegwynn will have to have children, right? With Aegwynn's personality, she'll definitely pass on the Guardian's power to her child, ignoring the rules of the Tirisfal Guardian Council. So, Aegwynn's child, whether they have one or two souls within them, is anyone's guess."

Hearing this, Elisande no longer cared about Hu Feng's wandering hands. Her eyes widened in surprise. "The Dark Titan actually wants to come to Azeroth this way?! If he becomes the Guardian... that would be an absolute disaster, no less than a direct invasion by the Burning Legion."

"You can't say that. There are pros and cons. While this method allows him to lurk inside and cause chaos and disaster, he loses most of his power in the process. So, he's also vulnerable."

"Mmm, I also believe you definitely have a way to deal with it. I'm not worried," Elisande said somewhat blindly.

Hu Feng was speechless. Was Elisande heading towards the great goal of being beautiful but brainless? Or were women in love just intellectually deficient? This wouldn't do! How could my head housekeeper... Ah, it's just so soft and comfortable!

Forget it... let's have one round first...

The door to the inner hall slammed shut, locking securely.

The Arcane Golem Ktilax found it strange. Why did its master suddenly lock the door? It could hear Lady Elisande's gasps from inside... But it didn't care. After thinking for a moment, it diligently resumed its role as a gatekeeper.

A short while later, news spread throughout Azeroth: the Dark Titan Sargeras, in order to descend upon this world, had abandoned ninety-nine percent of his power and forcibly descended upon Northrend in the north.

He then engaged in a fierce battle with the arriving Guardian Aegwynn and was ultimately vanquished by her... well, eliminated in Northrend.

Afterward, Aegwynn constructed an underwater tomb in the Broken Isles of the southern seas, eternally sealing the Dark Titan's corpse within. She laid countless seals and restrictions, ensuring that no creature of Azeroth could cause it damage or influence. Finally, Aegwynn watched as the Tomb of Sargeras slowly sank into the sea. Victory was finally hers! Azeroth would no longer be threatened by the Dark Titan and the Burning Legion!

Aegwynn was incredibly confident at this moment. She believed there was no need for another Guardian. The Guardian's power granted her eternal life, and she could perfectly bear this responsibility. She would continue doing this forever! As for the thoughts of those Tirisfal Council members, who cared if they died!

However... even if she had to choose a successor Guardian, her own descendants would be the most suitable!

Hmm? This idea is truly excellent!

What she didn't realize, and couldn't possibly realize, was that in the deepest, darkest corner of her mind, Sargeras's soul was imperceptibly lurking and influencing her.

The Seven Human Kingdoms were in an uproar. The great Guardian Aegwynn had defeated the Evil God!

For a time, the human world became an ocean of joy. Countless celebrations and banquets were held everywhere as if they would never cease.

Aegwynn was temporarily free. Not far from where her teacher lived in seclusion, in a place called Westfall within the Stormwind Kingdom in the southern part of the continent, she began constructing her mage tower.

Thus, a mage tower far grander than in the original history slowly took shape. Aegwynn extensively borrowed the design from Hu Feng's mage tower in Suramar City, making it look like a miniature replica. However, Aegwynn also added many of her own styles and ideas, so the exterior of the mage tower still retained a human architectural style.

She named this tower Karazhan. From then on, the Guardian would reside here, far from Dalaran, far from the Tirisfal Guardian Council.

The Stormwind Kingdom was overjoyed and immediately granted Aegwynn all the surrounding lands. The entire Westfall, and a portion of Elwynn Forest: Sunstrider Woods (later Duskwood), all became territories of Karazhan.

Influenced by Sargeras, Aegwynn harbored great vigilance towards Dalaran and the Tirisfal Council. Therefore, she planned to establish her own magical system and influence within the Stormwind Kingdom in the southern part of the continent.

The two parties hit it off immediately. Stormwind City began extensive construction, and a new mage district was being built. Aegwynn was appointed Chief Royal Court Mage. Although it was nothing compared to the title of Guardian, it was the attitude that mattered, signifying that the Guardian was now aligned with the Stormwind Kingdom.

In Stormwind City, Aegwynn met a handsome human noble mage: Nielas Aran. Under Aegwynn's deliberate seduction, Aran quickly fell for her, and the two rapidly fell deeply in love. Before Karazhan was completed, they began living together in Stormwind City. One day, Aegwynn told Aran that she was pregnant and that their child was about to be born. This made Aran ecstatic, and he doted on Aegwynn even more.

Soon, Aegwynn gave birth to the boy. However, the magic inherited by the boy from the Guardian was too powerful, causing a catastrophic loss of control. To protect his flesh and blood, Aran desperately suppressed his son's uncontrolled power. In the end, the son was safe, but Aran died from excessive magical depletion.

Aegwynn named her son Medivh and sent him to Northshire Abbey. There, dozens of priests would continuously suppress the power within Medivh day and night until he could control it himself.

Kalimdor, Suramar City.

Hu Feng looked at the report before him with a cold smile. He had demanded updates on Aegwynn and Medivh's movements three times a day.

What was meant to come, had finally come.

Sargeras, just you wait. I'm going to screw you over big time again!
