Chapter 505 "Confrontation (1)"
Coming back to her senses after the first emotional longing, Ling Yue"s mood promptly turned into a dissatisfied lioness ready to roar out.
Stinking Feng Shen, hurry and handle this woman. It"s you who provoked her so you should take responsibility.
Understanding the signal in the girl"s eye, Feng Shen"s lip inexplicably curled into a laughing grin.
He only intended to give Chen Hong Ru a visit just now and to have a chess game with the senior before leaving. However, right before the final chess piece was set on the board, the lord and master of the Dan Palace suddenly did the strangest thing and requested Xue Pian Ran to summon Ling Yue over.
Regarding the reason, the boy hadn"t a clue. Perhaps it"s likely to a.s.sess why his student would be outdone by a la.s.s in such messy fas.h.i.+on when she barely had much training over the years.
It was her great ancestor Ye Nameless.
Earlier Ling Yue already found it strange on why she would feel the name sounding so familiar to the ear. Now that she"s had a little time to dwell on the matter, it all came back. North Qing"s number one alchemist, the lord and master of the Dan Palace. His fame originated from five hundred years ago at the World"s Number One Forge, a renowned contest of the greatest. Also, the arch nemesis of their Ye family!

Once again, the words from that special day returns to haunt her ears: If one day in the future you would come across the opportunity, you must exact revenge for me.
Back then Ling Yue only made the careless promise of agreeing out of the belief she wouldn"t meet an old relic from five hundred years ago. To think that very same Chen Hong Ru would now soon appear before her very eyes. Honestly, she was rather speechless right now….

Donning a loose robe of neither white or black, perhaps even grey, she couldn"t tell. But one"s thing sure though, the first impression she got was a high standing lonely senior from those old stories of the books. Yet, that young handsome face gave it a contradicting vibe, turning it all out of wack.
“So you are Ye Ling Yue of Da Xia?" The voice sounded like an old withered vine ready to croak at any minute, yet it also sounded smooth like the frost of winter"s chill.
But before Ling Yue could even answer that question, suddenly, her mind"s been invaded by an eye. The force was reckoning in how powerful it pried open her defences, dwelling deep into her very soul.
All of a sudden, the skies itself changed as well.
From what used to be the radiant glow of the morning sun, the blue open vastness just disappeared. In its place now blanketed a sheet of darkness, highlighted only by the nine s.h.i.+mmering spectacles of each star up there. Then everything just exploded into a blast of brightness.
