Gu Yuan’s words were clear to Fang Qing.She met his gaze without flinching.Yet her eyes were serene, untouched by emotion.“The most important person? I understand.”Her tone was cold and even, as if she had reverted to before.Hearing Fang Qing’s words, Gu Yuan felt a twinge of disappointment.He had wanted to know her true feelings toward him.But just now he had gleaned nothing from her calm expression or tone.He simply nodded to show he had heard, then fell silent.For a moment the air felt chill.After a few seconds, Fang Qing stroked the white fox’s fur then placed it gently on the floor.She spoke, “I’m going back now.”Having said that, she immediately moved toward the door.Seeing her action, Gu Yuan came back to himself and asked, “Do you need me to accompany you tomorrow?”“No need.”Her tone remained distant.…Outside Gu Yuan’s residence, Fang Qing looked up at the sun and exhaled.Then she headed to her own lodging.Walking along the path, she thought to herself.Yuanling, what is my current state?Emotions are stirred, heart is joyful.A message came from the blade Wu Qian.Is that so?Fang Qing was ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) not surprised by the result.She knew exactly what she had done.In Gu Yuan’s room, she had dropped all pretense.She had fully released herself, saying what she thought and doing what she wanted.That was why her behavior had differed so greatly from before.As for the final question to Gu Yuan, she had asked it once she understood.Why had she revealed her true self to Gu Yuan and not someone else?She had asked herself that, and the answer came at once.Because of trust.She trusted Gu Yuan.Perhaps she had begun to trust him earlier.But only now had she truly realized it.After arriving at that answer called trust, she asked herself another question.Did she want Gu Yuan to truly remain at her side?And the answer was yes.Putting aside emotional factors, Gu Yuan was indeed a suitable partner.Compatible personality, astonishing potential, formidable strength, and handsome appearance.In short, a prodigy of his generation.Of course, the greatest reason she reached that answer was her own willingness.If she had invited someone simply because they showed potential, would that not be too casual?In sum, weighing these factors, Fang Qing decided she wanted Gu Yuan by her side.As a Contracted Member of the Holy Sanctuary destined to leave this world, there was only one way to keep someone with her.That was to make them a Contracted Member.She remembered the invitation privilege.Yes, the invitation that had let Fang Qing into the Holy Sanctuary.This was the only method she could conceive to make Gu Yuan a Contracted Member.But this method had one prerequisite: the other party must agree of their own free will.Otherwise it would be a wasted chance.That was why Fang Qing had asked the question, to confirm Gu Yuan’s attitude toward her.And upon receiving his reply, her answer?…Contracted Member ID 84197’s current personal privilegesInvitation: remaining uses 1.Can be used on any intelligent being. Upon use the target will receive the Holy Sanctuary’s invitation. If the target consents of their own will (hypnosis, control, possession, etc. ineffective) they will form a contract with the Holy Sanctuary and become an official Contracted Member.Fang Qing studied the panel in silence and made up her mind.Before the mission’s end, she would confess everything to Gu Yuan.If he still wished to follow her after knowing all, she would use the invitation privilege on him.Whether it would go as she hoped then depended on fate and on Gu Yuan.After all he was the World’s Progeny. Once she revealed everything, something akin to the Heavenly Thunder Dragon might intervene.Then it would be a gamble with life.…Thirty-one days had passed since Fang Qing entered the Xiaoyao Realm.Now it was the thirty-second day. The sun shone brightly and the world was tranquil.Why did Fang Qing feel this way?Because her negative state had disappeared.Today she felt unusually refreshed, her back no longer ached, her legs no longer pained, and her meals tasted better.After days of methodical searching, Fang Qing reached a conclusion.The Wood Kirin Fragment was nowhere except one place.That place was the Fire Hall.The residence of Sect Master Luo Tiangan—the only location Fang Qing had not yet explored.The reason was simple: she could not enter.Actually there was another possibility.The fragment might be in the hands of some elder disciple of the Fire-Gold Sect, and that was why Fang Qing had not found it.But that probability was very low. Why?Because of the main quest.Obtain the Wood Kirin Fragment located within the Fire-Gold Sect by any means.The words located within clearly meant the fragment lay somewhere inside the sect.Moreover, over the past days she had observed the sect’s prominent disciples and elders.None had shown suspicious actions, and many had been absent on some matter.The main quest had not changed, so Fang Qing could be certain.The fragment was either in the Fire Hall or held by Luo Tiangan.To verify that, she needed to enter the Fire Hall or lure Luo Tiangan out.This posed a dilemma.In terms of strength she could not defeat him; in terms of authority, she had no right to enter the Fire Hall. Not only she—Luo Hong himself could not enter.Thus Fang Qing was troubled.But there was a way.Earlier she had mentioned one thing.That thing caused many in the Fire-Gold Sect to come and go frequently.That was the breakthrough Fang Qing had found, her key to escaping this predicament.The matter was as follows.A legacy domain of a high-level cultivator from centuries past had opened.This cultivator, known as Piaoxue Xian, had reached the Transforming Spirit realm.Her legacy domain’s location was widely known.Once it opened it would draw countless cultivators.The Fire-Gold Sect would be no exception.Fang Qing deduced that Luo Tiangan would almost certainly go.Why?First, Luo Tiangan was a Nascent Soul cultivator, seeking to reach Transforming Spirit next.Thus Piaoxue Xian’s domain would be extremely valuable to him.Therefore Fang Qing believed he would go.Once Luo Tiangan departed, her opportunity would come.…
