A notice from the Immortal Gate could never be wrong.
Nor would it ever be without reason.
Especially when it concerned those on the list.
Qing Dai froze in astonishment, unable to make sense of it for a moment.
Why had the cultivation limit been raised?
Previously, it had clearly been at primordial spirit cultivation, the best restriction for those on the list.
Neither too high nor too low.
Now it had been raised straight to the Ascension Stage, just one step away from immortality.
Such a realm was a little too high.
As she pondered, the space ahead suddenly twisted, as though something were squeezing out of the void.
The air rippled like water, and the light flickered amid the distortion.
Then a white figure squeezed out of the center of the distortion from thin air, robes swaying as he landed steadily on the ground.
It was the Bai Family Ancestor.
"What do you think of this news?" the Bai Family Ancestor asked, smiling at Qing Dai.
Qing Dai did not hide her confusion, her brows drawing together slightly. "Why would this happen?"
"Who do you think this rule was made for?" the Bai Family Ancestor asked in return.
Hearing this, Qing Dai pondered for a moment.
The sudden increase in the cultivation limit seemed to target everyone on the list.
But right now, her miss was the only one on the list who was outside.
Did that not mean it targeted her miss?
But why?
"You think it targets your miss?" the Bai Family Ancestor asked.
"Well, surely it couldn't be targeting you, Senior Bai?" Qing Dai blurted out.
The Bai Family Ancestor chuckled, his tone laden with meaning. "You're rather blunt. With your miss away, aren't you afraid you'll be limping back?"
Qing Dai instinctively stepped farther
