Shao Qinglian scanned the group of people in front of her. The presence of Yue Li and the other physicians didn’t surprise her. Due to the circumstance of the First Yin Pavilion Master, it has become a yearly routine for them to show up to provide assistance.

Currently, they were all passionately looking at her body, even Yue Li, although well hidden, a hint of desire can be seen in his eyes.

She indifferently ignored their gazes. She has gotten too used to these kinds of reactions.

If it wasn’t because she needed their help, she wouldn’t even deign to meet these people. They simply weren’t worth her time. The only reason why most of them were even here is to get inside the Ardent Yin Sect in hopes of getting lucky with a disciple. A foolish dream.

Just the thought of having to associate with them for the next week or so made her inwardly sigh.

Fang Yu, I hope you know how much I’m sacrificing myself to help you. When you wake up, I’ll definitely work you to the bones.

Sigh… when you wake up… when are you waking up, Junior Sister?

Hurry up and wake up…

…

Shao Qinglian quickly calmed her emotions before looking at Xiao Yueyin’s group. A figure immediately caught her attention. It wasn’t Xiao Yueyin and it wasn’t even Xia Lihua, instead, it was Ji Xian!

He was wearing a veil and numerous long strands of hair fell over his face making it hard to see his appearance, but Shao Qinglian can still make out his current expression.

He was staring at her with wide eyes. It wasn’t a look of awe or yearning but it was a look of someone having seen something utterly ridiculous!

“…”

Shao Qinglian felt a little uncomfortable.

So he’s the one Xinyi mentioned. Why’s he looking at me like that? Do I have something on my face? No, impossible. My dress, maybe? Can’t be…

She was, after all, the Sect Master of the Ardent Yin Sect. She easily composed herself and stopped paying attention to Ji Xian.

At this time Yue Li spoke, “Sect Master Shao, how is the First Yin Pavilion Master doing?

“Nothing has changed.” Shao Qinglian shook her head, “I have only been able to keep her condition stable but I’m not sure how long that will last.”

“I see… then Sect Master Shao, may I ask if-“

“For now, Physician Yue, all of you must be tired from the long journey. Xinyi, go and arrange a place for all the esteemed guests to recuperate. We can discuss the other matters later.”

Shao Qinglian didn’t want to waste any more time with them. She exchanged a few more pleasantries and had Guo Xinyi send them away.

After they left, she leaned back onto the ice throne and casually crossed her leg while carelessly playing with her hair. Her sudden movement caused those giant twin peaks to jiggle aggressively, it was a mesmerizing sight.

In a blink of an eye, she went from a dignified Sect Master to someone lackadaisical and apathetic.

“Yueyin, it’s been a long time.” She said halfheartedly.

Xiao Yueyin nodded with a smile, ”It’s been a few years, Senior Shao.”

Shao Qinglian sighed, “I can feel it from your aura, looks like you’ve successfully completed Ninefalls. How envious.”

“It was just luck.”

“Luck? If it was just luck, there would be more people at the Ninth Life Destruction.” She muttered.

Shao Qinglian turned her gaze over to the woman in the white dress and the man in the black robe. After another sigh, she lazily stood up and approached the couple.

“Shao Qinglian greets Senior Ji Xian and Xia Lihua.” She lowered her head and said.

“Looks like Guo Xinyi told you about us.” Ji Xian chuckled and walked towards her.

“Yes.”

Shao Qinglian was startled to see Ji Xian suddenly circling her and inspecting her body.

He’s so tall.

This was her first thought upon seeing his towering figure. She was much shorter than both Xia Lihua and Xiao Yueyin so when facing Ji Xian, she has to lift her head almost ninety degrees just to look at his face.

She silently waited while wondering if this man in front of her was just like all the others she sent away.

Xiao Yueyin pursed her lips when she saw Ji Xian’s deviant act. He was directly looking at another woman’s body in front of her! How shameless!

She turned to Xia Lihua to see her reaction but surprisingly, Xia Lihua had a serious expression and she was also observing Shao Qinglian as well.

After a minute, Ji Xian stopped and his eyes briefly flashed with a light, “You have a very familiar stench on your body.”

Shao Qinglian and Xiao Yueyin were taken aback after hearing this.

On the side, Xia Lihua nodded her head. A trace of killing intent appeared and mixed with her aura before quickly disappearing. It came and went so fast that no one noticed it.

Shao Qinglian raised an eyebrow, “Senior Ji X-“

“Just call me by my name.”

“Uh, Ji Xian, what exactly do you mean.” She promptly corrected herself.

“…”

Ji Xian didn’t immediately reply. His mind was fast at work trying to make a few connections.

At this time, Xia Lihua turned to Xiao Yueyin.

“Yueyin, has there ever been any record of the Mortal Desolate World being invaded by the Upper World?”

“Invaded by the Upper World?” Xiao Yueyin was confused, “What could the Lower World have that would make them want to come down?”

Hearing this, Xia Lihua had her answer and she glanced at Ji Xian.

He shook his head, “Just because she doesn’t know, doesn’t mean it never happened.”

“How curious, looks like the two of them have some sort of connections after all.”

Xiao Yueyin was beginning to feel irritated at his puzzling words, “Hurry up and explain! What is this stench you mention?”

“Oh. It is the stench of death and decay.”
