Chapter 145: 145: Different Reactions

The New Year's banquet had ended well, and most of the guests had stayed over for tonight at the Crowned Regent Hotel. Aside from people like the state leaders and the cultivators who chose to go home after the party, the rest had stayed to enjoy the facilities of the 5-star hotel. They actually do not pay as this was prepared for Yue Xuexia and all their expenses for three days would be free in the hotel.

As for those who received a special letter from the cultivation world, to be precise, from the Heavenly Sword Sect, they were all shocked. They had never thought that the Snow Clan would send an elder just to check on the incident that led to the extermination of the Xue Clan. This news actually reached the ears of the state leader first.

State Leader's House

Ling Wen, Long Juedi, and Long Huangdi had just gotten home when they were welcomed by an urgent report from Ling Wen's disciple. This disciple's name was Ling Yi. He is a peak Qi Refinement cultivator and his age is quite similar to that of Yue Xuexia.

"Master! Seniors! Bad news! Our spy from the cultivation realm says that the Snow Clan heard about the extermination of the Xue Clan in our realm and sent an Innateness stage elder to investigate," said Ling Yi.

Long Huangdi frowned as he mumbled, "The Snow Clan is infamous for their vengeful nature. This is quite a bad situation."

As soon as the three heard about this news, only Long Huangdi frowned. On the other hand, Long Juedi and Ling Wen were unexpectedly calm. After all, they knew that this problem had something to do with the Divine Doctor and there is that dangerous young man who is always by her side. There is no way that man would let Yue Xuexia be harmed by the cultivators sent by the Snow Clan.

Long Juedi said, "I don't think so."

"What do you mean, son?" asked Long Huangdi. Despite the seriousness of his expression, he looked bewildered due to the words of his son.

Long Juedi answered, "The extermination of the Xue Clan was something that was done but the man beside the divine doctor. It's that young man called Taiyang."

"Obviously, that man doesn't care about the Snow family, as he had no hesitation when he commanded the uprooting of the Xue Clan. I am actually happy as the Xue Clan had always been arrogant thanks to their connection with the Snow Clan. This time they may have hit a steel wall as it involves the Yue family," Ling Wen said.

Long Juedi added, "The mysterious and dangerous young man is one. There is even Great Elder Xia and the Starfield Sect behind him. The Snow Clan cannot do that much damage with these two."

It was only then that Senior Long Huangdi had calmed down. After all, when the treaty was signed between the two realms, the Snow Clan was one of the clans that wanted to take over their realm. If not for the saint of their country at that time, the country or maybe even the world would most likely be overtaken by these cultivators.

Long Huangdi said, "Even if this situation didn't matter much, it is still better to inform the involved party. I will make a call to tell Xia Lianyu about this situation."

At the Mystic Mountain, the territory of the Hidden Tan Clan.

Tan Shenyu was being half-carried by his daughter as he drank too much during the banquet. Her grandfather had already slapped his father's head multiple times in dissatisfaction. As soon as they got back to the Mystic Mountain, her grandfather had once again entered seclusion. This time he wanted to check the changes on him after reaching the innateness stage.

Tan Shenyu. Current state: drunk. "Hehe~ one more cup!"

"What do you mean one more cup? There is no more!" said Tan Bingyu.

Because of the state of her father, Yue Xuexia had excused her from her duties as her protector for tonight. This is her father; even though she is annoyed, Tan Bingyu wouldn't disrespect Tan Shenyu regardless of his drunken state. The disciples had arrived upon her call, and Tan Bingyu told them to bring her father back to her room.

Tan Bingyu said, "This old man, who told him to drink so much~ Just how many bottles had they drunk anyway!"

Suddenly, the elder, who had received the messages for her and her father while they weren't around, appeared before her, giving a way-two message from the Heavenly Sword Sect. When Tan Bingyu saw that the sender is none other than Fu Lili, she immediately opened her letter. Tan Bingyu was smiling at first as she read the first paragraph.

When Tan Bingyu had read the contents halfway through, her gentle smile had faded. The information from Fu Lili was about Elder Xue Yan from the Snow Clan personally coming over to investigate the Xue Clan they had exterminated. She also opened the letter for her father and saw that this is a letter from her former master, Fairy Guan Yueyi, asking her father if he can ask his daughter to come back to her peak. The Snow Clan is dangerous, and even though Fairy Guan couldn't protect the whole Tan Clan, she can still protect her disciple, Tan Bingyu.

Tan Bingyu felt warmth from her master's kindness, but unfortunately she had no intention of returning to the Heavenly Sword Sect and leaving her Mistress. It would be a different story if Yue Xuexia wanted to go to the cultivation realm and become the disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect. But this situation itself is almost impossible. First of her mistress's grandfathers is the great elder of the Starfield Sect. Moreover, she had a feeling that Taiyang, who looks down on everything in this world, never had the Heavenly Sword Sect in his eyes.

The elder had also seen the content of the message, but their clan's princess isn't worried about the Snow Clan, but instead about the effects of the actions this group of menaces is planning on doing. This is the mortal realm after all. Most beings in this place are fragile, as they are only ordinary people with no ability to wield qi or to fight like cultivators.

Tan Bingyu said, "First elder, please pass this letter to my father when he wakes up. I'm going to see the mistress and report about this situation."

"Leave the clan leader to me, Princess. I shall report the situation to the ancestor as well," said the first elder.

After nodding in agreement to the words of the first elder, Tan Bingyu left the Mystic Mountain and headed to the Moonlight Lake Mansion to see her mistress. She plans to report about this situation to her and wait for her orders on what should be done for this issue. This thing would most likely be resolved by Taiyang alone anyway, so she wasn't that worried. She needed to report about this as this is her job.

The same thing happened in the Crimson Cloud Auction Hall. As soon as Lin Chiyu and his two masters had returned to their place, the letter they got from the Heavenly Sword Sect stunned them. They never had expected that Xue Lengya would send Elder Xue Yan himself. That was his protector; if he lost his protector, his position as the heir of the Snow Clan would be in danger.

Lin Chiyu said, "Xue Lengya had sent Elder Xue Yan to investigate what happened in the Xue Clan. It is useless though, as even the terrain was removed when the Tan Clan was done with them."

"I heard that the whole mountain was burned down and not even a trace of what Xue Clan is had been left behind," his second master said.

Lin Chiyu said, "Masters, should we inform the Divine Doctor about this?"

"There is no need. Great Elder Xia would most likely hear this news from the state, and the Hidden Tan Clan would send their princess to report. There is no need to be redundant about this situation. Instead, we should remove all the traces of what happened that time. After all, the death of Xue Mengya had happened in our territory, and the Snow Clan would definitely blame us for this," said Lin Chiyu's first master.

Thinking how tyrannous the Snow Clan is, their small auction hall would definitely be affected the most. That vengeful clan loves to destroy everything that offends them; that's why most of their descendants were infamous for their cruelty and cold-heartedness.

Lin Chiyu suggested, "How about we just surrender to the Divine Doctor and become her subordinates like the Tan Clan? Since Masters are planning to leave the sect, we should just find another home. Senior Xia is also a good person himself, and we were long acquainted with them."

His two masters looked at each other and decided to do as their disciples suggested. Though they had this kind of thought before, they didn't have any connection with the divine doctor or the Yue Clan, so they felt a bit awkward seeking their protection. But Great Elder Xia is different; he is someone from the Starfield Sect, and like the Heavenly Sword Sect, it's a behemoth in the cultivation realm. The Snow Clan wouldn't openly dare to touch them. Adding the fact that there is that mysterious background of the lord that was always beside the divine doctor, if they served them, they wouldn't make a loss.

The first master of Lin Chiyu said, "I will visit Elder Xia tomorrow. We will be safer as long as we get through him."

"I will go with you," said the second master of Lin Chiyu.

Lin Chiyu said, "Then I will make preparations for the gifts. I heard that Senior Xia has eleven children and more descendants after that."

The first master of Lin Chiyu said, "There is also the Yue family. Their gifts must be carefully prepared."

"Don't worry, Masters. I know what to do," said Lin Chiyu.
