Jade Maiden Peak, Peak Master's Hall.
Staring at the magnificent ice crystal palace ahead, Su Qingyue and Yun Ling both wore particularly grave expressions.
Ling Ruoxuan.
This woman was not only the Peak Master of Jade Maiden Peak but also a formidable figure with hopes of stepping into the Saint King realm, currently at the eighth level of the Saint Realm.
Such a presence wielded terrifying power over life and death within the Fuyou Sacred Land.
If she was determined to eliminate a certain prodigy, she would have plenty of ways to do so without leaving any evidence within the Sacred Land!
"Sister, heed my advice..."
"No matter what the Peak Master says later, just agree with her. Even if she wants you to leave that guy Xiao Ming, you must not have any verbal conflict with her."
"Otherwise, if you anger the Peak Master, even if you are her sister's disciple and have the potential to become the Saintess of Jade Maiden Peak, she will show no mercy!"
Recalling Ling Ruoxuan's authority over the years at Jade Maiden Peak, and Su Qingyue's immature romantic mind, Yun Ling cautioned solemnly.
Afraid that this junior sister might lose her temper and directly confront the Peak Master.
The consequences would be no joke.
It's known that before Su Qingyue joined Jade Maiden Peak, there was a monstrously talented core disciple at Formation Peak who not only accused someone from Jade Maiden Peak of stealing his treasure but also publicly confronted Ling Ruoxuan, demanding she either let them search or prove Jade Maiden Peak's innocence.
Before he could finish speaking, Ling Ruoxuan slapped him away.
At that time, Ling Ruoxuan was only at the seventh level of the Saint Realm, yet she dared to act so boldly in front of other Peak Masters.
Now, her cultivation is even stronger, and she might act even more decisively!
Anyone who dares to provoke her could be slapped away instantly.
Su Qingyue's face is so adorable; she doesn't want it to get swollen from a slap.
"Don't worry, Senior Sister, I know what I'm doing."
"Besides..."
"I believe the Peak Master is not an unreasonable person."
Su Qingyue smiled slightly at Yun Ling's words, signaling her not to worry too much.
With that, she took a deep breath and leaped to the entrance.
"Come in."

Before Su Qingyue could speak, Ling Ruoxuan's voice came from inside the hall, and the grand doors of the Peak Master's Hall opened automatically.
A chill, like mist, continuously flowed out from within.
The hall before her seemed like the entrance to an abyss, and a terrifying sense of oppression came rushing at her.
Su Qingyue showed no trace of fear on her face, stepping into the hall with a composed expression.
"Disciple Qingyue, pays respects to the Peak Master."
Entering the hall, she saw the figure ahead, resembling a fairy, exuding a cold and proud aura.
Su Qingyue bowed slightly, her voice respectful.
"Do you know why I summoned you this time?"
After Su Qingyue's words fell, Ling Ruoxuan turned to look at her, her voice carrying a hint of depth.
"Disciple does not know, I ask the Peak Master to speak plainly."
Su Qingyue's heart tightened at the words.
She could already confirm that the other party was indeed targeting Xiao Ming, but she could only feign ignorance at this moment.
"Very well, then I will be straightforward."
Ling Ruoxuan's lips curled slightly at the words, her tone leaving no room for doubt.
"I want you... to leave Xiao Ming!"
"From now on, sever all ties with him, and have no further entanglements!"
As these words fell, Su Qingyue's pupils contracted sharply.
Her expression was one of disbelief as she looked at Ling Ruoxuan, her fists involuntarily clenching.
"Why?!"
Instinctively, these three words burst from Su Qingyue's mouth, filled with intense anger and confusion.
Although she had already speculated in her heart, knowing Ling Ruoxuan had a thing with Xiao Ming.
But why should she be the one to leave?!
If it was about who came first, she was Xiao Ming's fiancée, and they grew up together as childhood sweethearts.
If it was about monopolizing him.
There was also that junior sister by Xiao Ming's side, whose relationship with him was not ordinary. Why didn't the Peak Master go after her?!
"No reason!"
"If you must have a reason, I can only tell you, because you are a disciple of Jade Maiden Peak, and I am the Peak Master of Jade Maiden Peak."
"I don't want you to be with him, so you must sever ties with him."
"If you can do this..."
"In the future, whether it's the Saint King techniques, the position of Saintess, or even the position of Peak Master, I can grant them to you!"
Seeing Su Qingyue's furious expression, her fists clenched tightly.
Ling Ruoxuan's demeanor was indifferent, her tone extremely domineering.
"Please forgive this disciple for being unable to comply!"
Without a moment's hesitation, Su Qingyue immediately refused.
This made Ling Ruoxuan's eyes narrow slightly, her aura becoming increasingly dangerous, a chill spreading throughout the hall.
"Do you know the consequences of defying me?!"
As these words fell.
The chill in the hall became even more sinister and violent, making Su Qingyue feel as if she had fallen into an icy abyss.
"Disciple knows!"
"However, even as the Peak Master, you have no right to interfere with a disciple's choice of partner. If the Peak Master insists on making things difficult for me, then I will fight to the end!"
Feeling Ling Ruoxuan's oppressive force, like a towering mountain bearing down, Su Qingyue still showed no sign of retreat.
"Heh, just a disciple, yet you dare speak to me like this?!"
"Do you think I won't kill you?!"
Ling Ruoxuan let out a cold laugh at the words, her terrifying aura locking onto Su Qingyue, seemingly ready to strike at any moment.
"Of course, the Peak Master dares..."
"But Qingyue wants to tell the Peak Master one thing: Brother Xiao Ming doesn't like domineering and tyrannical women. Even if you remove me by force, you will never win his heart!!"
Boom!!
With these words, Ling Ruoxuan seemed to be provoked, a terrifying aura erupting from her.
Her figure appeared ghost-like in front of Su Qingyue, her jade-like hand gripping Su Qingyue's neck like a vice.
"Are you truly unafraid of death?"
Ling Ruoxuan's gaze was icy as she stared at her, pausing before speaking with undeniable authority.
"I'll give you one more chance. Sever all ties with him, and I can pretend nothing happened, and give you whatever you want!"
"Sorry, this disciple cannot comply!"
"If the Peak Master insists on forcing me, then you might as well kill me!"
Feeling the terrifying strength in Ling Ruoxuan's hand, unable to even move, Su Qingyue's face showed no fear.
She still refused without hesitation.
This made Ling Ruoxuan pause slightly, then she released her grip with a complex expression.
"As expected of his childhood sweetheart, you truly are worthy of him."
With these words, Ling Ruoxuan's expression softened, the chill in the hall receding like a tide.
As if everything just now was an illusion, leaving Su Qingyue stunned.
"Did I scare you?"
Seeing Su Qingyue's bewildered look, Ling Ruoxuan asked softly.
"Peak Master, you..."
Hearing this, Su Qingyue, even if she were foolish, knew that Ling Ruoxuan had been testing her.
Unexpectedly, this Peak Master had quite a talent for acting.
She couldn't discern any signs of performance at all.
"Indeed, I was half testing you, but also half serious. If you had given up on him because you couldn't hold on."
"Even if I wouldn't take your life, I wouldn't let you stay by his side, and might even make you leave Fuyou Sacred Land."
Seeing Su Qingyue come to her senses, Ling Ruoxuan replied calmly.
"Don't get complacent..."
"Though your feelings for him are genuine, you can't slack off if you want to stay by his side."
"With his talent and comprehension, he will surely dominate the universe in the future."
"If you don't have the corresponding strength and ability, you'll only become a useless vase by his side."
"So, starting today..."
"I will personally guide your cultivation, help you unlock the potential of the Taiyin Sacred Spirit Vein, and hope you take it seriously from now on."
