In a courtyard within Saint Pill City, Feng Qing'er sat alone in her room, speaking with Feng Qiuyue, the Third Elder of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan's Phoenix Branch, through a Transmission Token.
"Third Elder, I really am already the Young Pavilion Master's woman!"
Feng Qiuyue said, "Qing'er, you have spent many years in the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, and Young Pavilion Master Yang is unquestionably the foremost figure among Central State's younger generation.

Feng Qing'er clenched the token tightly. "I understand. Once the Young Pavilion Master safely leaves the Pill Tower, I will return."
"Good. We will do our best to delay things for you."
Within the forbidden grounds of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan's Phoenix Branch, Feng Qiuyue, having ended the communication, quietly asked, "Great Elder, Second Elder, I feel that Feng Qing'er has repeatedly made excuses to avoid returning to the clan.
