At the summit of the mountain gate, gale-force winds howled.
Su Yueli stood proudly in the void amid the clouds, her skirt fluttering lightly in the raging wind. A mask covered her face, revealing only a pair of black eyes, cold and clear as moonlight.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sound of tearing air rang out as two gatekeeping disciples clad in Azure Moon Sect inner disciple robes flew up on swords, stopping before Su Yueli.
The two cupped their fists and studied the mysterious woman who had appeared out of nowhere with wary expressions.
There was not the slightest fluctuation of Spiritual Power around her, and she wore a jade pendant that concealed her face. She was exceedingly strange.
"Who are you, Your Excellency?"
The leading gatekeeping disciple spoke in a low voice, his tone carrying the reserved vigilance of a disciple from a great sect. "This is the Azure Moon Sect. May I ask what brings Your Excellency here?"
Su Yueli's gaze did not ripple in the slightest. She merely uttered a few words indifferently.
"I am looking for your Young Sect Master, Shen Huai'an."
Upon hearing the name Shen Huai'an, the gatekeeping disciples froze slightly, their brows drawing together.
Looking for the Young Sect Master?
Yet this woman had none of a cultivator's Spiritual Power about her. Instead, she carried an indescribable air of mortal life... Could she be a beauty the Young Sect Master had entangled himself with during his worldly training years?
But on second thought, the Sect Master had always kept the Young Sect Master on a tight leash, determined to make him sever his mortal attachments and strive for the Immortal Dao. He would never permit a worldly woman to come knocking at their door.
Suppressing his doubts, the gatekeeping disciple politely cupped his fists.
