“Why didn't the two of you refuse the Great Elder's last request seven days ago?” Ling Zhen asked Xue Lianhua and Que Mi. The three were staring at the burial of the warriors of the Virgin Valley Sect they had buried.
“Your question is..” Xue Lianhua narrowed her eyes and sighed softly, “I just want to fulfill the wishes of the Great Elder, maybe this is my way of making amends as the sect leader.”
“I'm also the same..” Que Mi replied slowly.
Ling Zhen himself would not refuse when given a request to guard Xue Lianhua and Que Mi. But however all this was beyond his plan even he smiled faintly considering the storyline of his unexpected life.
After seven days of recovering his condition in the Virgin Valley Sect, Ling Zhen found out that Xue Lianhua was twenty-five years old, while Que Mi was a year younger than him by sixteen.
Both of them had their own beauty, especially the figure of Xue Lianhua who was known as the youngest Matriarch in the history of the martial world of the Jia Empire.
The heirloom meant by the Great Elder of the Virgin Valley Sect was a girl who received the Eternal Snow Aura. And it just so happened that that person was Xue Lianhua who became the last Matriarch of the Virgin Valley Sect.
“After this what will you do?” Xue Lianhua asked Ling Zhen.
“Married?” Ling Zhen replied softly and there was almost no sound to his voice, but Xue Lianhua and Que Mi heard it.
Ling Zhen scratched his head, “Ah, forget it. Now I want to continue my journey to find the Night Goddess Potion.”
Ling Zhen explained his goal, but Xue Lianhua and Que Mi actually blushed her face from hearing Ling Zhen's first remark.
“I myself am not so sure about all this, and hopefully you are the one according to the judgement of the Great Elder. So when?” Ignoring Ling Zhen's goal, Xue Lianhua wanted to ascertain whether Ling Zhen would marry himself and Que Mi in the near future.
Ling Zhen blushed his face, for him it was a difficult decision. But given his promise to the Great Elder of the Valley of the Virgin Sect, there was no other choice but to look for a ruler and marry these two girls from the Valley of the Virgin Sect.
“I want to introduce you two to my mother, but to do that I have to finish something that I am responsible for. Until then, I want you to wait for me.” Ling Zhen said to Xue Lianhua and Que Mi who looked curious about what he was going to do.
“So what will you two do now?” Now Ling Zhen asked.
“We want to keep this place and wander, maybe.” Xue Lianhua let out a crisp laugh, as to be honest she did not know of her purpose other than to guard the legacy of the Virgin Valley Sect from her predecessors.
“Call me by your usual name, Mi.” Xue Lianhua rebuked Que Mi who was about to put her opinion first, “I am no longer a leader of the Virgin Valley Sect. I'm just Xue Lianhua.”
“Senior Xue, what if we both go with Brother Ling to look for the Night Goddess Potion?” Que Mi expressed her opinion, because this young girl wanted to know Ling Zhen more deeply so as not to regret her decision for accepting the final request of the Great Elder of the Virgin Valley Sect in the future.
Xue Lianhua seemed to agree with Que Mi, and the two of them decided without Ling Zhen's approval.
‘Introduce..’ Ling Zhen scratched his non-itchy head, ‘Aren't I now in the Jia Empire? Looks like I can ask for their help to show you the route of the journey towards the Qing Empire.’.
“Brother Ling, do you not mind if I and Senior Xue come with you?” Que Mi ventured to ask. Ling Zhen nodded his head and smiled.
“I don't mind, but my trip is uncertain because I myself don't know the place where the Night Goddess Potion is. Besides, I am from the Qing Empire, so I want to be able to get there quickly to look for clues.” Ling Zhen hoped that one of the two girls before him would understand the situation.
“Qing Empire, I have never been there at all.” Que Mi seemed to be thinking about something, her hand touching her chin while shaking her head slowly.
While Xue Lianhua looked to have her own plans. Before long this girl in silvery black clothes looked at Ling Zhen straight.
“Brother Ling, you once said came from the top of the Longxue Mountains. Can you take us there?” Xue Lianhua was curious about Ling Zhen's true identity, because she thought Ling Zhen's figure was too mysterious.
“Alright, we'll be there. I guess I'll tell you a little bit of my past.” Ling Zhen smiled wryly, then took Xue Lianhua and Que Mi away from the Virgin Valley Sect.
The three of them climbed to the top of the Longxue Mountain Range which was inhabited by various Demon Beast.
The natural phenomenon as Ling Zhen led Xue Lianhua and Que Mi to the top of the Longxue Mountain Range, left the two girls amazed at the vast icy natural beauty.
An ancient seal that the White Fox could break was the reason why the peak of the Longxue Mountain had never been found. A seal that bears a resemblance to a barrier wall in the Valley of the Gods.
That very day, Xue Lianhua and Que Mi's eyes opened wide at Ling Zhen. Both of them truly felt grateful for being given the opportunity to live and bear the wishes of their sisters who had died first.
“Today my eyes are wide open. Above the sky, there is still the sky. You're amazing, Brother Ling.” Xue Lianhua smiled brightly staring at the scene from above the peak of the Longxue Mountains.
