Brother Huang, the Second Elder, the First Elder... none of their actions had been a coincidence.
If Yun Huang had not replaced the Sumeru Puppet Transformation with the Ice Doll... Yun Qing lowered his head to look at the shattered "Bing Xixi" strewn across the ground, unable to imagine what would have become of that carefree, unrestrained elder who defended him fiercely to her very bones.
With his emotions churning, Yun Qing could not help taking out the ten-thousand-year heart-soul jade box and gently lifting out his treasured Immortal Emperor Edition Little Radiant Chick "figurine." A few soul-calming snow epiphyllum petals still clung to its fluffy body.
Yun Qing cupped it in his palms and kept kneading it, trying to soothe the waves spilling over in his heart.
"Brother Huang, thank you," he murmured, a complicated expression in his double pupils.
What exactly was that profoundly uncanny "scarlet"?
To think such a secret lay hidden beyond the Heavenly Origin Continent. Could it be connected to the mystery of Yun Huang's reincarnation?
Suppressing the dense clouds of doubt in his heart, Yun Qing turned his gaze toward the three members of the Yun Clan on the Second Tier.
Yun Baojian and Yun Tianluo ranked thirteenth and eleventh on the Immortal List, respectively. The Fortune they received from the list was not among the greatest, and their deeper ties to the Heavenly Origin Continent were still relatively shallow.
Both men's auras were steady. Yun Baojian stood with Bao Jian in his arms, his eyes closed as though pondering an insight, while Yun Tianluo waved his folding fan and quietly discussed something with Liu Qingwu of the Azure Lotus Sword Sect nearby. His expression was unchanged; neither seemed to have sensed the scarlet encroachment.
As for Yun Ruyi, who ranked fifth...
