In the northern pavilion, the private residence of the peak chief.
There were two immortal fairies sitting opposite each other and just separated a table. On it was a bottle of wine and two cups.
One of the fairies in the room was wearing an all-white immortal robe with her hair that was also a touch of untouched snow color and her apparently charming beauty, he was the head of the current Peak Wind, Lan Xihe.
Opposite her, there was an immortal elf who looked young and similar in appearance to her. With her long bright blue hair and the typical perennial robe of Peak Wind given specifically to the position of one of the peak elders. The name of that beautiful, flawless immortal elf like porcelain was Duan Yunfei, the former eldest daughter of the Duan Dynasty on the outskirts of the southwestern continent of Xuanyuan Plains.
Duan Yunfei poured wine in an elegant gesture into the two empty glasses and thrust one of them towards Lan Xihe.
Gently, Lan Xihe picked it up and they toasted each other while smiling nostalgia, as if an old friend who had not met for a long time.
After gulping down his wine, Lan Xihe said, "What about the gift I gave in exactly to your two thousand year long wait?"
Duan Yunfei cupped his hands together and said, "Really, that is an incredible blessing. Honestly, I thought you were joking at the time."
Lan Xihe patted her thigh while giggling and then said, "Well, anyone who hears it will definitely think I'm joking. But, really, I'm glad you got my message and set up the formation right away."
"Hehehe, if it were someone else I would have ignored it. By the way, how did you know that the formula of the formation array you sent through that voice channel could work? If it is wrong, it could be that the living things inside will be trapped in the boundary of dimensional space and die later on."
The array of formations that Lan Xihe had instructed Duan Yunfei could at least be realized if one were to put together a formation master like him. If it was someone else, the formation array would not have materialized and could have blown up the entire territory of the former Duan Dynasty.
Duan Yunfei who was a formation master was well aware of the consequences of their actions back then. However, he still ventured because the demonic whisperings from Lan Xihe were more terrifying than the death notice. Whoever listens to it for a whole minute, their lives may be filled with endless gloom.
"Come on, I actually have a few tricks up my sleeve. It need not be mentioned, it was also due to fate. I wouldn't have thought if the naughty disciple hadn't come and asked for my help," Lan Xihe replied as she scratched the back of her head a few times and smiled wryly.
"Bad disciples? From what I've seen he's a mean guy rather than naughty, ma'am-not that I doubt his character, it's just ...." Duan Yunfei stopped because he did not know how to describe Yan Xu using words.
Lan Xihe flicked her hands a few times while saying, "Yes, yes, if you first meet she will play different first impressions on everyone depending on the situation. I guess, he must have committed a massacre in the area that became the scope of the great formation you installed, right?"
"Hoo ... it turned out that he could also be cold so, as expected of the Naughty Disciple. You can guess the reason why he carried out the massacre coldly and let you go?" Lan Xihe's bright red eyes shone with a somewhat sinister light, as if she was interrogating a prisoner.
"Give me some time to think about it," Duan Yunfei asked with a serious face.
"Sure! Take as much time as you can," Lan Xihe replied with a mischievous smile and placed her chin on the back of her right hand.
It was a blessing for the Wind Peak as they finally obtained another elder who was a formation master. The only reason Lan Xihe had been too busy these past few days was for trying to give direction to Duan Yunfei so that he could switch using the formation array technique that came from his system's lottery prize.
That way, the labor of the elders was no longer too burdensome for Su Yueyin alone since it would be distributed to Duan Yunfei by half. Based on his judgment, this was also a good thing for Duan Yunfei who had been too resigned to fate and was just waiting for something that never came. Creating a miracle from a coincidence requested by his disciple, actually made Lan Xihe want to laugh amusedly with her thoughts.
Meanwhile, the serious-looking Duan Yunfei was compiling pieces of the puzzle that were interconnected and overlapping.
Although their meeting was only momentary, based on Duan Yunfei's observation through Yan Xu's behavior and the honest opinion of his sister— Lan Xihe—, that handsome man with an aura of immortality was a person who had skin changes depending on his condition. It also meant that the man he had just met was a cunning person and did not hesitate to act ruthlessly according to the situation.
Yan Xu's ruthless-looking efforts on the outside, actually did not have too much of an impact on Duan Yunfei's mood. Instead of feeling angry, instead he was very happy that Yan Xu had helped him do the cleaning.
However, on the other hand Duan Yunfei sensed that the man was extremely dangerous and completely different from a cultivator walking on the path of truth. More precisely, he followed his own truth and did not care how others saw it.
'Lan Xihe said there was a reason, but I still can't see why. From my point of view, he was just carrying out a massacre like he was cleaning up. But, it's uncomfortable when I say that he's doing it just to clean up, right?' duan Yunfei's inner confusion was his own inside the complicated labyrinth of his mind.
The unflappable answer coming from Duan Yunfei made Lan Xihe feel a little bored waiting and opened her mouth.
"Hey, you must be stuck in thinking about her true nature right?"
Duan Yunfei who returned to reality looked at Lan Xihe as if to say, 'How could you know about it?'
Lan Xihe smiled mischievously, sipped a little wine in her cup then said, "Very obvious on your face. Though the answer is only to clean up, anyway if he wants to use it as private property must be cleaned from the former owner."
