Jianghai Martial Arts Academy.
Dusk had fallen.
A magnificent fiery sunset painted the sky as the sun sank below the horizon.
A wind blew in from afar, sweeping past the secret chamber on the back mountain. The birch forest rustled and swayed, making the scene feel all the more silent and cold...
Elder Li and Lin Mofeng stood beside the birch forest, craning their necks in anticipation.
"Elder, there was a strange disturbance of Sword Qi from the back mountain last night. Based on the timing, Xuanxuan should be coming out of seclusion soon."
Lin Mofeng leaned against a birch tree. "Why is there no sign of her yet?"
"It's fine. Don't panic. You have to trust your junior sister."
Elder Li stood several yards from the stone door with his hands behind his back, head slightly cocked. He projected the air of a lofty expert who had seen it all, but his palms were slick with sweat.
Inwardly, he was a nervous wreck.
