The ancestral land of the Luohai Sect is located behind the back mountain, shrouded in a misty forest that is normally inaccessible. However, since Su Yuewan has opened the ancestral land, the misty forest has become much clearer, allowing the disciples of the Luohai Sect to enter.
As Bai Hao walked along, he saw many disciples stopping at the outer edge of the ancestral land, sitting cross-legged in twos and threes to cultivate and absorb the spiritual energy emanating from the ancestral land.
On the other side, the Grand Elder was in charge of watching over these people's cultivation to prevent anything from going wrong.
"Elder!" Bai Hao waved to her from afar.
The Grand Elder only then noticed his arrival, and his expression was not very happy. He said, "Why are you only coming back now?"
"I went to the Pill Sect, and it's already a miracle that I made it back at this time. Besides, I was ambushed by those lunatics from the Divine Sea Sect on the way."
Bai Hao also didn't have a very pleasant expression.
For some reason, he always felt that the Grand Elder had a kind of resistance towards him, and her eyes were always so resentful, as if Bai Hao had done something to wrong her.
But heavens above, Bai Hao swears he has never done anything bad to that old hag!
The two of them, one in charge of internal affairs and cooking, and the other in charge of all matters, big and small, within the sect, have different responsibilities that do not conflict. Moreover, as long as the Grand Elder gives a word, Bai Hao will definitely comply with her request and dare not offend her. Where could he possibly provoke her?
Moreover, the Grand Elder had never treated him like this before; it seems that this resentment only arose after Su Yuewan came out.
Could the cause be Su Yuewan?
That doesn't make sense either. Even if it's because of Su Yuewan, what could it be?
Could it be that Su Yuewan appointed him as the sect's top disciple but not Fan Ziming, the Grand Elder's personal disciple, and he harbored resentment?
Hmm... that's very likely.
But the problem is, Fan Ziming himself has no objection, so why is she coming to join in?
"Hmph." The elder snorted coldly. Although he was unhappy, he could not find a reason to reprimand Bai Hao anymore.
Bai Hao ignored her and walked straight into the depths of his feet.
Ordinary disciples can only stay on the outskirts of the ancestral land, but with Bai Hao's cultivation level, entering the depths of the ancestral land is no problem at all.
"What are you doing?!" Seeing that he was about to head straight into the depths of the ancestral land, the Grand Elder quickly stopped him.
"The ancestral land is so dangerous, how dare you enter so casually?!"
Even she is not allowed to freely enter the depths of the ancestral land, let alone Bai Hao, who actually wants to go in directly?
That's incredibly rude!
"Huh? It was the sect leader's order, telling me to go find her as soon as I got back." Bai Hao said, somewhat speechless.
"Please rest assured, Elder. With my strength, although the ancestral land is dangerous, I can still handle it."
The Grand Elder had to admit this, and it was also one of the reasons why she resented Bai Hao.
It's one thing that he's just a disciple, yet his cultivation is higher than that of the Grand Elder; after all, they're both from the Falling Sea Sect, and Bai Hao's increased strength also means that the Falling Sea Sect is stronger.
The problem is that since Bai Hao became Su Yuewan's personal disciple, Su Yuewan has often handed things over directly to Bai Hao instead of letting her handle them. There are even some things that she doesn't even know about.
This made her feel as if Bai Hao's status was even more noble than hers as the Grand Elder, and that he could receive more favors from Su Yuewan.
This is what she finds most unacceptable!
She was the one who always served Su Yuewan, so why is it Bai Hao's turn now?!
"If there's nothing else, Elder, I'll go in first. After all, the Sect Master's orders are urgent and can't be delayed." Bai Hao didn't bother to waste any more words here. After bringing up Su Yuewan, he walked directly into the depths of the ancestral land.
Even if the Grand Elder was unhappy, Bai Hao
Since Su Yuewan had been brought up, she had no reason to stop him, no matter how resentful she was.
...
This was also Bai Hao's first time entering the ancestral land.
Contrary to his expectations, this place was not a desolate wasteland, but rather a paradise of birdsong, fragrant flowers, and shady trees. The scenery was delightful, and the cool breeze made him feel comfortable all over. He couldn't help but want to take a nap here.
"The scenery is nice. They say this place is dangerous, but I don't feel any danger at all." Bai Hao looked up and around, and saw a particularly conspicuous mountain peak standing in front of him. The entire mountain peak was bare without a single piece of vegetation, and the exposed fiery red mountain body looked like a raging fire, which was particularly out of place with the beautiful scenery around it.
That mountain peak is also the highest in the surrounding area.
"That must be the highest mountain that Su Yuewan mentioned."
Needless to say, Su Yuewan must be on such a special mountain.
I wonder what that guy is thinking. He reached out and struck. Could it be that Su Yuewan wants to go into seclusion again and try to break through again?
Bai Hao wasn't sure, but since Su Yuewan had told him to deliver the things upstairs, he did.
Walking towards the mountain peak, Bai Hao got closer and saw clearly that the mountain peak, which looked like it was on fire, was actually red because the exposed mountainside was fiery red, not actually on fire.
Not only was it not on fire, but when Bai Hao arrived at the foot of the mountain, he found it to be unusually cold. The biting wind made him shiver.
"What kind of place is this? It's so cold." Bai Hao quickly rubbed his arms to warm himself up, and then, despite the cold, he continued walking up the mountain along a small path.
Following the path, Bai Hao reached the halfway point of the mountain and discovered a cave.
"This should be it, right?" Bai Hao poked half his head inside. The cave was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything except for faint wisps of energy emanating from it.
This aura of Bai Hao is very weak; it belongs to Su Yuewan.
"Sect Master, it's me, Bai Hao, I'm back." He didn't rush in, but called out twice at the cave entrance, but received no response.
"Sect Master, Sect Master!"
I called out twice more, but there was still no response.
"Isn't it in here?"
Just as Bai Hao was looking puzzled, a voice came from inside the cave.
"What are you yelling about? Come in."
The familiar words were none other than Su Yuewan's voice!
After confirming that it was indeed Su Yuewan speaking, Bai Hao chuckled and entered the cave.
The moment he stepped into the cave, a soft light suddenly shone, illuminating the entire cave and revealing everything to Bai Hao—
It turned out to be an ice cave. Only a single luminous pearl was embedded in the pure white wall. The soft light, after being refracted, illuminated the entire cave and its seemingly endless depths.
Inside the cave was an ice bed. Su Yuewan sat on the ice bed, dressed in snow-white clothes. Her beautiful face was framed by her eyes slowly closing and her breathing even, like a sleeping beauty...
