The eyes of the bing qing daoist revealed a confident expression, “Can’t you smell the taste of the Memory Obliteration Elixir that Lu Wu took not long ago?”
“What!” Shen Qingfeng and Shen Qingqiu's eyes widened in shock as they exclaimed, “Miss, you have advanced from a saint level grand alchemist to a low-tier sovereign alchemist?”
“Lu Wu’s father is the elder four of the Immortal Sect Danmai. I cannot touch him now; otherwise, I would have him bloodied on the spot today!”
“This person must be dealt with!”
Hearing this, Shen Qingfeng nodded in agreement.
Then, Shen Qingfeng and Shen Qingqiu both knelt in front of the bing qing daoist, their faces filled with joy, “Old servant congratulates the miss on her advancement to a low-tier sovereign alchemist!”
“Get up quickly.” After the bing qing daoist allowed them to rise, Shen Qingfeng respectfully stated, “Miss, according to our Danmai advancement system, you are now a low-tier sovereign alchemist. Why not report this to Chief Tang of the Immortal Sect? This way, you can become an elder of the Immortal Sect Danmai!”
Upon hearing this, the bing qing daoist seemed to recall something, and suddenly, her beautiful eyes became red and filled with tears, “Qingfeng, Qingqiu, although I wasn’t born eighty years ago, I know what happened that year.”
Upon hearing the words “eighty years ago,” Shen Qingfeng and Shen Qingqiu suddenly felt their faces twist with anger, their old bodies shaking involuntarily, “Miss, when did you find out?”
“Thirty years ago, when I became the inner sect danmai chief, my mother told me this on her deathbed.” As the bing qing daoist spoke, tears fell like rain, “My mother held my hand and told me that my father was once the chief elder of the Huangfu Sacred Sect’s Holy Gate Danmai, and his alchemical arts were unmatched in the entire Danmai!”
“But… but! My father was framed by the former elder two of the Holy Gate Danmai: Gongsun Yangchun, resulting in the current sovereign stripping him of his cultivation and expelling him from the Huangfu Sacred Sect.”
“And Gongsun Yangchun took advantage of the situation and became the chief of the Holy Gate Danmai!”
The bing qing daoist bit her crimson lip, tears blurring her vision, “When I was young, I didn’t understand why my parents often argued about whether I would join the Huangfu Sacred Sect when I grew up.”
“It wasn’t until my mother’s last moments that she revealed the truth to me.”
“Because my father loved me, he didn’t want me to avenge him, just wanted me to live a peaceful life.”
“But my mother was different; she loved my father very much and couldn’t bear the injustice done to him. In the end, my mother convinced my father to allow me to join the Huangfu Sacred Sect sixty years ago, wanting me to take revenge for my father!”
“Thirty years ago, I did not let my mother down and finally became the inner sect danmai chief…”
As she spoke, the bing qing daoist suddenly lost control of her emotions, shaking her head vigorously, her eyes filled with sorrow as she cried out, “Wuwu… but when I returned to the family to tell my mother the good news, she had already fallen gravely ill and could only tell me all of this.”
“Wuwu… that night, before she died, she could no longer speak, but the look in her eyes is something I can never forget…” The bing qing daoist’s delicate shoulders trembled frequently, her heart aching, “Qingfeng, do you know? The look in my mother’s eyes only told me two words—revenge!”
“Wuwuwuwu…” Shen Qingfeng and Shen Qingqiu could no longer hold back and began to cry as well.
The bing qing daoist closed her beautiful eyes, allowing tears to break free from her eyelids, cascading down her exquisite face filled with hatred:
“So, in these thirty years since I became chief, I have been desperately studying alchemical arts, all for the sake of advancing to become a sovereign alchemist and becoming an elder of the Immortal Sect Danmai!”
