"Hmm!" The Great Elder snorted coldly, then threw out a key, "Open the door."
"Yes!" The leader of the guards took the peculiarly shaped key and began to study the complicated chain.
Behind the Second Elder, the Third Princess gazed at the door with anticipation. She clasped her hands together and prayed quietly, hoping that once she entered, her predetermined fate would be changed.
The second elder turned around and glanced at the third princess, a scornful smile flashing in his eyes.
If the Queen Mother hadn't agreed, he wouldn't have bothered to come. He was clearly a loser, so how could he become a genius in just a few years?
The door creaked and opened quietly.
Before the Second Elder and the others entered, Guard A peered inside suspiciously. The crimson lake was completely ripple-free, and the surroundings were completely empty, with no one else around.
It seemed like he was really hallucinating. Guard A scratched his head and gave an embarrassed chuckle.
The second elder and the third princess slowly walked into the door.
The Second Elder's face darkened as he glanced at the Third Princess and said indifferently, "You only have one chance. I hope you can seize it."
"Thank you, Second Elder, for giving Rong'er this opportunity." The Third Princess knelt down and saluted.
In the royal family, the Council of Elders has immense power, almost surpassing the imperial power. Even the emperor has to bow his head and look respectfully when he meets the members of the Council of Elders. Naturally, the third princess did not dare to be presumptuous.
"Hmph." The Second Elder snorted coldly, "Stop talking nonsense so quickly, why don't you get off now!"
After being scolded, the third princess' eyes were slightly red, but she did not dare to complain. She just nodded and walked barefoot step by step into the center of the lake.
The second elder smiled coldly, then threw a white crystal into the crimson lake.
"I'll give you half an hour. If you still can't refine it, you can just wait to marry into the Eastern Jin Dynasty." The second elder turned around and sat on a cushion on the ground, closed his eyes and began to meditate.
The third princess nodded solemnly with tears in her eyes.
She is not a fool. Now Beimo is ready to make moves against Dongjin. They sent her there saying it was a marriage alliance, but in fact it was to paralyze Dongjin's nerves, making them think Beimo has the intention of peace, and then take them by surprise... If she was sent to Dongjin in this situation, how could she survive?
The third princess thought of this and became more determined to refine the Snow Spirit Crystal.
As long as she could refine the Snow Spirit Crystal, even if only one-fifth of this fist-sized Snow Spirit Crystal was refined, it would prove that she could cleanse her essence and marrow, and practice the family's skills. Only in this way could she survive.
The third princess sat cross-legged in the middle of the crimson lake, her eyes closed, concentrating on refining the snow spirit crystal.
However, tragically, no matter how hard she tried to refine it, the snow spirit crystal floating in front of her was like a stubborn stone, showing no signs of loosening at all.
The third princess became more and more impatient as time went on, and cold sweat dripped down her face.
No, still no... How could this happen? Just now, she was able to send out a water ball with a palm strike, which shows that her water element has made significant progress. How could this happen...
The third princess was so anxious that she almost ran around in circles.
At this time, two figures were hiding under the lake not far from the third princess.
These two people were none other than Su Luo and Nangong Liuyun.
Before Su Luo could finish her question, the second elder came with the third princess. Without saying a word, Nangong Liuyun grabbed her and hid her under the lake.
