The Fallen Consort

The next morning, Tefei received a letter from his Master. Saying that he was left incharge with the Sect, along with Linyu and Haoran.

It was also mentioned that, His Master Yi Ling is taking Minzhe and Qianru to look for her mother.

Aside from that, there were nothing else was mentioned. Yi Ling had left the Ring on his hands, meaning that his Master must've gotten an argument with Muxin.

Tefei didn't bother talking with Muxin as well. What for? he thought. Without any elder around, Tefei had to manage the Sect by himself. It would still take a couple of days before Linyu and Haoran wakes up.

Yi Ling was riding a horse, followed by Minzhe and Qianru. They both on their ȧduŀt forms. Since Qianru was a form of spirit, she too can change her appearance at will like Minzhe.

They had gotten the horses from Xiang He. Last night, Yi Ling arrived to leave instructions to Xiang He. She left a boom regarding his studies and how to stabilize his inner element. She also left a letter to be pass on to Tefei. She didn't even bother staying and said that she was leaving. Xiang He was shocked but was able to insist on taking a horse. When Yi Ling agreed, the trio left.

Along the way, Yi Ling had change into a scholar uniform. She didn't used the mask but instead used make-up, to make her look like a noble man with gorgeous features. She was dress in black, tainted like King Jin.

For some reason she started hating wearing white. Yi Ling never blamed Muxin for her past deaths, she knew in her heart that it wasn't his fault. Just that, she felt like she was too dependent on him. Making her decide to leave the Ring and her three subordinates. She even left all of her treasures and concoctions, leaving nothing but only Minzhe and Qianru. Luckily, Minzhe has money. He had bought everything his mother needs before leaving the Xiang Kingdom. He had gotten her all kinds of herbs and a Cauldron. As well as food, clothes and other necessities.

Thought the items he bought wasn't comparable to his mother's items, Yi Ling was already satisfied.

A week past, the tree arrived at the edge of Green Gorge Valley. It was the Valley that separates the High-Rank Kingdom from the Mid-Rank Kingdom.

This division was highly guarded by a thick, high wall and a big scary looking gate.

In front, there was a line as the soldiers inspects their goods and interview them for their purpose on visiting the high-rank kingdom.

Minzhe became their tour guide, it wasn't hard for them to go in. Minzhe had used his domineering aura to suppress the soldiers. Since the weak venerated the strong, They were given a pass.

The closest Kingdom near the Valley was called Red Phoenix Empire. Yi Ling could already see the differences regarding the three rank system. The spiritual energy here was really denser compare to the mid and low rank kingdoms.
