While thinking back to all the trouble Chao Sung and the Heavenly Noble Sect has caused, Dana couldn't help but gnash her teeth in anger as she finally decided it was time to confront the man responsible for the suffering of her Master.

But, honestly, she already doesn't have a good impression of both the Heavenly Noble Sect and Chao Sung even without hearing what they did to her Master, due to after hearing all of the disgusting rumors about Chao Sung's many 'deeds', in addition to witnessing the actions of the Heavenly Noble Sect's towards the Elemental Sect firsthand.

Thus, this has made her discard any thoughts of holding back the damage she causes to Chao Sung within the tournament, as she no longer gives a damn about the Heavenly Noble Sect's 'face' within the matter.

So, what if this ends up provoking a large amount of trouble directed towards her!

Her pride as a dragon has already been trampled on by both Chao Sung and Princess Hui Ying repetitively, when they foolishly treated her as someone who they can deal with however they feel like it, thus she has already reached her limits on what she can endure.

Yueqin Wen silently watched Dana as the expression on her face underwent a number of changes, going from anger to frustration before finally settling on a determined look as her face raised to directly stare into Yueqin Wen eyes.

"Master, I will go to the Yearly Sect Gathering myself, and I can assure you I will take the first position right from the Heavenly Noble Sect for the first time within centuries!" Dana said causing a troubled look to appear on Yueqin Wen's beautiful face.

Yueqin Wen already knew the moment she saw the resolve within Dana's eyes what her reaction will be towards the troubling news, but it still pains her as a Master to risk sending Dana off to such a dangerous place.

Yueqin Wen already lost both her Daughter and Husband to the Heavenly Noble Sect, thus the sheer thought of Dana traveling to such a place has already caused her to enter a state of panic.

"No... Dana you don't have to do this, I have already accepted that this will be the fate of the Elemental Sect, in the end, the Heavenly Noble Sect is too powerful. I don't want you to throw your life away just for a hopeless situation. You have greater potential than me... We can just enter seclusion for a few years... Yes, that's what we will do." Yueqin Wen said hurriedly, as she quickly made a decision.

Dana witnessing Yueqin Wen's clear anxiety over her choice, firmly gripped Yueqin Wen's arm waking her up of her ramblings and said, "Master, it's alright. I know you're worried about me, but I need you to trust me on this. I wouldn't throw away my life needlessly, I have my own assurances within myself that I can deal with the trouble which will come my way."

"But..." Yueqin Wen was about to argue again but seeing unwavering glint within Dana's eyes, she knew that it was hopeless for her to continue insisting for her not to go.

Therefore, she decided that she as her Master will put her faith within her disciple, and not continue restraining her from going.

She knew that if she continued she could potentially damage their relationship, or may even affect Dana within the Yearly Sect Gathering and that was something that she knew could cause her to regret for the rest of her life.

So, Yueqin Wen decided to be supportive within Dana's decision and said, "Fine, Dana I will support your decision into going out to the Yearly Sect Gathering. But, Dana, I want you to be safe... and to not foolishly risk your life provoking trouble if you can avoid it."

Hearing the response of her Master caused a beautiful smile to appear on her face, as she thought 'It seems my Master has no faith in me defeating Chao Sung within the Yearly Sect Gathering and is only thinking about my safety.'

But, Dana doesn't show her true thoughts towards her Master, as she doesn't want to unnecessarily worry her about what trouble she truly aims to cause within the Yearly Sect Gathering, as she said, "Don't be concerned about me Master, after all, since my time being your Disciple, haven't I always been the best at laying low?"

Yueqin Wen couldn't help but snicker at Dana's next words, as she thought, 'You the best at laying low? You cause trouble wherever you go...' as it caused Yueqin Wen to think back to Dana's idea at 'laying low' within the Elemental Sect talent test.

Seeing the obvious laughter of her Master, Dana thought to herself, 'Am I truly that bad? Surely, she is over-exaggerating... I can be very low key if I wanted to...'

Dana who became lost in her thoughts as a result in her attempt to comfort herself was quickly awoken from her daydream when both Lavendia and Maia barged into the room, causing both Master and Disciple to stare at the duo questionably.

Being glared by both Dana and Yueqin Wen, caused Maia to quickly crumble as she became nervous at the thought of displeasing both Master and Disciple.

From Maia's experience, Yueqin Wen may be a gentle person most of the time, but when angered she truly becomes a horrifying demon, and the expression of Yueqin Wen the first time they met as she stared down Lavendia truly frightened even a proud Griffin like Maia.

And Dana can explain itself, as what is more domineering than a Dragon?

Thus, the thought of displeasing the Master and Disciple duo caused Maia to become anxious.

But, Lavendia didn't even seem to notice the twitching Maia besides her, and the piercing glares of Dana and Yueqin Wen who seemed annoyed to be disturbed at their private 'reunion'.

With a smile on her face, Lavendia said, "Hey Master, both me and Maia came here to tell you that we want to go to that Yearly Sect Gathering thing! We heard that all the best disciples from each of the Sects gather there each year! Both, me and Maia have long been bored of being holed up in the Sect for so long, so the thought of experiencing a 'competitive' match with a bunch of silver spooned human seems like great fun."

"Hmm. So that's it? If so, sure. I guess I can use the company, and it would be a good way to promote the Sect." Dana said.

Maia let out a sigh of relief, as it seemed as if their sudden interruption didn't cause the Master and Disciple duo to set off.

But, before she can rejoice, the chilly voice of Yueqin Wen sounded, "So, it seems the two of you have become pretty rampant being without supervision within these past few months. I've heard of both of your deeds around the Sect, and it seems you pay no care whatsoever in interupting your Seniors when I'm having an important discussion with my disciple. So, you're interested in sparring humans, hmm? I guess I can spar with the two of you while on the journey to the Yearly Sect Gathering! After all, I haven't had a decent spar in a long time.."

A cold sweat appeared on Maia's face as she heard the response of Yueqin Wen, and Lavendia just stood they're seemingly oblivious, but even if she did know what Yueqin Wen had in mind she probably would actually be overjoyed, instead of the similar miserable response of Maia.

While this was going on, within the Elemental Sect an incredibly Handsome man stood imposingly, behind him stood the stature of a fairly good looking man, but beside the Handsome man, he simply looked average.

"Zhang Li, within these past few months you have failed to bring me the genius girl from the Elemental Sect, can you tell me the reasoning behind this?" Chao Sung said coldly.

Standing behind Chao Sung, Zhang Li had a calm and collected appearance as he remained unfazed by the questioning of Chao Sung, before he said, "Master, the girl has seemingly disappeared. We have been awaiting her outside the Secret Realm until it recently opened, but we have caught none the slightest look of her appearance... Neither have we seen the subordinates we sent in within Princess Hui Ying, backing up what she reported earlier."

Hearing Zhang Li's response, Chao Sung didn't show the slightest reaction before he responded, "Hmm. So you think the girl has died within the Secret Realm?"

Smiling in response, Zhang Li responded, "This is what I previously thought Master, but now I don't think it is the case. The girls Master, Yueqin Wen left in haste a few days before the reopening of the Secret Realm. Seeing this myself, I thought it was strange, that a woman that is supposed to be highly protective of her disciple and to also have gone to great lengths in finding a disciple of sufficient talent, to abandon her before the Secret Realm even opened? Even though the Sect Master of the Elemental Sect stayed behind, I still find this strange and believe the girl found some sort of treasure similar to Princess Hui Ying in order to get out earlier than normal! I then believe she left with her Master, and have since been laying low within the Elemental Sect!"

A cold grin appeared on Chao Sung's face as he heard Zhang Li's assessment, as he said, "So, have you made preparations in acquiring her?"

"Well, Master since she is in the Elemental Sect for the past few months, we haven't been able to get inside to forcibly take her. As even with the Heavenly Noble Sect prestige, it would ruin our reputation if we were to storm the Elemental Sect and capture the girl, but as the Master had in mind anyway, we decided to push forward the original plans in getting rid of the eyesore Elemental Sect by forcing them to disband if they achieve to low of a result within the Yearly Sect Gathering! This way, we can acquire the girl easily without Sect's Protection. Although, Yueqin Wen may prove difficult to deal with, unless the Sect Master himself comes to deal with her, through this method we can get rid of the Elemental Sect and acquire the girl for yourself!" Zhang Li said.

A pleased expression emerged on Chao Sung's face, as he said, "You have done well, Zhang Li! And don't worry about Yueqin Wen, the Sect Head has always desired the woman for himself, after all, it was one of the reasons why he took so much pleasure in killing her Husband! He has been looking for an excuse for years to butcher that man for stealing Yueqin Wen from him, and him delivering himself after the death of his daughter played perfectly into his hands. Yueqin Wen has been highly cautious for years, and even though the Sect Head is stronger than her, she has hidden well and has been able to escape from his hands everytime. Now, she has such an obvious attachment to her disciple, she will easily fall in his grasp."

Hearing the words of Chao Sung, a shocked expression emerged on Zhang Li's face appeared, before it changed to a knowing one.

'So, it seems the Sect Heads love for Yueqin Wen is true! After all, both Yueqin Wen husband and the Sect Head were previously known as good friends before, but upon seeing Yueqin Wen both of them instantly took a liking to her, and began tirelessly courting her! But, in the end, it was Yueqin Wen's Husband who won her affection, and since then both the formerly good friends stopped speaking to each other!' Zhang Li thought.

With this in mind, a feeling of pity formed deep within Zhang Li, as he thought to himself, 'Hmm. It seems that the fate of both Master and Disciple is destined to be filled with suffering.'

After all, in Zhang Li's opinion Chao Sung was the top genius within the Xinghai Continent, and the Heavenly Noble Sect was the Supreme Rulers of the Continent without a rival!

So, it will only be time when both Master and Disciple falls in their hands!
