Jianchen studied the Donglin clan and discovered that it was enveloped by a powerful formation. Now that the formation had been activated, it was truly impregnable. The only entrance was the main entrance of the Donglin clan.
As for sneaking in, that was impossible.
"It looks like it's impossible to see Donglin Yan Xue secretly. I can only visit her openly now. Even if I attract the attention of some people, there's nothing I can do about it," thought Jian Chen. After a while of thought, Jianchen arrived at the main entrance of the Donglin clan. He said to an attendant, "Please report that an old friend has come to visit miss Donglin Yan Xue. He wishes to meet her."
The attendant studied Jianchen. When he saw that Jianchen had actually come alone without any attendants, a sliver of disdain immediately appeared in his eyes.
Moreover, what he found even more laughable was that all the organisations that had come to visit the Donglin clan had all come with great gifts. However, Jianchen was empty-handed, as if he had not brought any gifts at all. This made the attendant feel even more disdain towards Jianchen.
"And he claims to be an old friend of the young miss. In my opinion, this so-called old friend is probably someone who has met the young miss once in the past. Now that the young miss has become a wielder of a Protector Sword, her status has skyrocketed. He wants to use his shallow relationship with the young miss in the past to befriend her. Who knows how many people like that I've met in the past, "thought the attendant.
That was indeed the case. Ever since Donglin Yanxue inherited the protector sword, both her identity and status had changed drastically. As a result, many people wanted to befriend her and establish ties with her so that they could gain the support of a powerful figure.
In particular, some of the more powerful disciples, peak lords, and elders of the Radiant Saint Hall would visit Donglin Yanxue from time to time. Some of the Hallowed Saint Masters who clearly did not have any close ties with Donglin Yanxue would use various identities to get closer to her, such as senior brothers and sisters, or that she had been indebted to her for her guidance. There were all sorts of things.
Many of them had seen Donglin Yan Xue at certain places and times before, so they became 'old friends' of Donglin Yan Xue for some reason.
As a result, the attendant was filled with disdain when he heard Jianchen say that he was an old friend of Donglin Yan Xue.
"Our Young Miss is not seeing any guests. Please go back," the attendant replied in a neutral tone.
Jianchen did not care about the attendant's attitude at all. He continued, "Please tell her that an old friend from the Moon's Reflection Lake has come to visit. As for whether your young lady wants to see me or not, it'll naturally be up to her."
"What old friend from the Moon's Reflection Lake? Our young lady has said that she's not receiving guests …" The attendant became impatient.
Jianchen frowned. He said sternly and forcefully, "To be honest, I've come this time because I have extremely important matters to discuss with young lady Donglin Yan Xue. If it's delayed because of you, will you be able to bear the consequences of your young lady's wrath?"
"If you tell her, even if your young lady really doesn't want to see me, you won't be in the wrong. On the other hand, if your young lady's matters really are delayed because of you, the consequences will be severe."
The attendant became rather uncertain when he saw how serious Jianchen was. He began to hesitate.
"Alright then. Wait here. I'll go tell her right now." In the end, the attendant was intimidated by Jianchen's words. He turned around and vanished from the Donglin clan.
There were many similar attendants at the entrance of the Donglin clan. There were even people dressed as butlers who had personally come out to receive important guests. As a result, Jianchen's matter did not attract much attention.
Within the Donglin clan, the attendant hurried over to an elegant courtyard. This was where Donglin Yanxue cultivated. However, the courtyard had already been marked as a forbidden area in the Donglin clan. Not just anyone could set foot in it.
And in this courtyard, there were maids who were waiting for them. These female attendants were basically all Donglin Yan Xue's personal attendants.
The attendant arrived before one of the female attendants and directly passed on Jianchen's words to her. He did not have the right to see Donglin Yan Xue directly, so he could only pass on the message through one of her attendants.
The attendant was called Qiu Han. She was the person who had been with Donglin Yan Xue the longest. She had basically grown up with Donglin Yan Xue. Qiu Han basically understood her young lady better than anyone else in the Donglin clan. She snorted when she heard the attendant's words, "What old friend of Moon's Reflection Lake? I've been with the young lady for so many years. If the young lady really did have an old friend like that, how could I not know? It's probably another person who's come to befriend you. There's no need to pay attention to someone like that. Let him go. "
The attendant dared not say anything more to Donglin Yan Xue's personal attendant. He turned around and left.
Qiu Han glanced at the sky before turning around and entering the courtyard. She arrived beside a pool of water with great familiarity.
The pool was not large, only around a hundred meters across. There was a huge rock in the centre of the pool. Donglin Yan Xue sat on the rock as a dense layer of light enveloped her. The Laws of the Hallowed also interwove around her. Clearly, she was cultivating.
"Young lady, it's time!" Qiu Han called out softly from beside the pool. Her intelligent eyes were filled with undisguised respect and admiration.
After Donglin Yan Xue became the wielder of a protector sword, the ancestor of the Donglin clan placed even more importance on her. He completely treated her like the apple of his eye, personally guiding her cultivation. As a result, Donglin Yan Xue would visit the ancestor of the Donglin clan every once in a while to receive his guidance.
Donglin Yan Xue stopped cultivating. She slowly opened her eyes, and a ball of light appeared beneath her feet. She landed on the shore like she was standing on a cloud. She made her way out indifferently.
As for Qiu Han, she followed behind him.
"Why do I feel a little uneasy? Qiu Han, has anything happened recently?" Donglin Yan Xue suddenly asked as they made their way to where the ancestor of the Donglin clan cultivated.
Qiu Han followed behind Donglin Yan Xue politely. She shook her head and said, "Young lady, it's been peaceful recently. Nothing major has happened. It's just that more and more people have come to visit the young lady. These people are really willing to do anything to get close to the young lady. They're basically willing to do anything. Even juniors and seniors from the Radiant Saint Hall have come. There's even people from the Moon's Reflection Lake. These people sure are shameless. They're willing to do anything just to see the young lady. However, I've already chased away all of them according to the young lady's orders. "
Donglin Yan Xue was originally calm, but when she heard the words' people from the Moon's Reflection Lake ', she suddenly froze. She came to a sudden halt, almost causing Qiu Han to collide with her.
Suddenly, Donglin Yan Xue turned around and stared at Qiu Han. She asked frantically, "What did you just say? What did you just say? "
"Young lady, w- what's wrong with you?" Qiu Han was completely dumbfounded when she saw how agitated her young lady was. She had followed her young lady for so many years, but she had never seen her lose her composure like that.
"Qiu Han, what did you just say? Say it again, "Donglin Yan Xue struggled to remain composed. She gripped Qiu Han's shoulders tightly.
"Reporting to Miss, recently … everything has been peaceful …" Qiu Han was truly frightened. Her heart was anxious, and her face was full of fear. With a slightly trembling voice, she repeated what she had just said.
"Moon's Reflection Lake … Moon's Reflection Lake …" Donglin Yan Xue repeated softly. She was extremely agitated, where even her body trembled gently.
Moon's Reflection Lake. Wasn't that where she had first met Jianchen?
Only the two of them knew that she had met Jian Chen at the Moon's Reflection Lake that night. There was no third person.
"Where is he? Where is he? Tell me, where is my old friend from the Moon's Reflection Lake? " Donglin Yan Xue asked in a hurry. She only had one old friend from the Moon's Reflection Lake. It was a person that no one else knew about apart from them.
"Young lady.
That person … that person has already … no … he should be waiting outside, "Qiu Han stammered as she paled in fright.
Now, she could tell that the so-called old friend from the Moon's Reflection Lake really did know her young lady. She originally wanted to say that the person had already been chased away, but she forcefully changed her mind when she was about to say it.
Swish!
With a flash, Donglin Yan Xue vanished. At that moment, she directly forgot about the ancestor of the Donglin clan and flew towards the entrance of the Donglin clan as quickly as she could.
