"Lin Yuejing?
"Hadn't she returned to the Moon Mist Sect? Why was she back?
"We agreed to suspend our dealings for two years. The time isn't up yet.
"Could it be... Ying Ruyue has formed her core?"
He Sheng hurried to the door. After welcoming her inside, he found that things were just as he had suspected.
"...Master Xiang, my master had nothing but praise for the Thousand Waters Moon Condensation Sword you forged. She specifically sent me to invite you north to Qi Province, to our Moon Mist Sect, for her core formation ceremony."
As she spoke, Lin Yuejing turned her hand and produced an invitation, which she presented to He Sheng.
Her every gesture lacked its former arrogance, and she showed He Sheng a measure of respect.
She's always been proud and haughty. She wouldn't even give Zhu Hong the time of day, and she wasn't this polite after I forged the Thousand Waters Moon Condensation Sword.
For her attitude toward me to change so much, the reason must lie with Ying Ruyue.
He Sheng's thoughts flashed, and he grasped the crux of it.
The Heavenly River Sect Secret Realm brought me into conflict with the Blood King Sect.
I killed Zhong Qi. Blood River True Person certainly won't let that pass.
Heading north to Heavenly Moon Lake in Qi Province and staying at the Moon Mist Sect for a while would be a good choice. I might even get a glimpse of a True Water cultivation art!
Heavenly Moon Lake lay deep in Qi Province. He Sheng did not believe Blood River True Person would dare go to the Moon Mist Sect to hunt him down.
He had made up his mind, but showed nothing on his face. He accepted the invitation and exchanged a few pleasantries.
