After parting ways in Tongtian City, Yang Chen accompanied Heavenly Venerate Xingtong to Luoxing Island, while Hua Wanru returned to Taiyi Sect with the team.
After returning to Taiyi Sect, she continued living the life she had always lived.
From time to time, countless admirers pursued her frantically, whether because of her extraordinary beauty or because she was a Chosen One.
In the past, she neither accepted nor rejected them, letting them pursue her while remaining utterly unrelated to them.
But after returning from Tongtian City, things were different.
If she still had a great many admirers around her, would she not seem no different from before? If so, how could Yang Chen's attitude toward her possibly change?
She wanted to gain the upper hand in her confrontation with that woman.
She hoped to obtain Yang Chen's support.
For that, she did not hesitate to change the habits she had cultivated over the years.
Now, Hua Wanru was in secluded cultivation when her brows suddenly rose and her eyes opened, her beautiful gaze shifting...
She moved her fingers and made a brief calculation, murmuring, "He's here?"
At that, Hua Wanru's emotions rapidly stirred. "He came looking for me?"
She swiftly rose, intending to greet him. If Yang Chen had truly come looking for her, it would naturally be a cause for great joy.
Yet before long, Hua Wanru sat back down with a defeated expression.
"Ah, he came for her." Hua Wanru sighed softly, her eyes carrying a trace of resentment and discouragement.

Tongyun Pagoda had three levels. Normally, those three levels were used by Taiyi Sect to confine people.
Zhang Xuelian was inside the pagoda, placed under Elder Yi's confinement
