Waiting in Vain

In the secret chamber of the Li family.

Li Moqiu, the young lady of the Li family, was in closed-door cultivation, her pretty brows tightly furrowed, her face pale, and her eyes flashing with unwillingness.

After returning from the Celestial Array Pavilion, it seemed that her attempt to break through her cultivation level had failed, possibly due to Yi Feng's influence.

This failure was not just a simple setback; it had led to a dangerous state of mind and body due to overstrain in cultivation.

Although she managed to pull herself back from the brink of being possessed by obsession with the help of medicinal pills and her experience, the aftermath was severe.

Not only had her cultivation level dropped, but it seemed that she would never make any progress again in her lifetime.

For a cultivator, the phrase "never make any progress" was undoubtedly a heavy blow.

It meant that her life would forever be stuck at this point.

At that moment, the space in the secret chamber suddenly fluctuated.

A woman dressed in white, ethereal like a fairy, and an old man suddenly appeared before her.

The sudden arrival of the two left Li Moqiu speechless; she quickly drew the long sword hidden in her sleeve and retreated to the side, cautiously watching the two.

"Who... who are you?"

Li Moqiu asked in panic, her breathing rapid.

This was too eerie for her.

Although the Li family was not the most powerful clan in Tianlun City, they were certainly one of the local influential families. Especially this secret chamber of hers, which was the core of the Li family, protected by multiple arrays and prohibitions.

Yet, under such defenses and array prohibitions, these two had arrived without her noticing, as if they had appeared out of thin air.

How could this not shock her?

However, what shocked her even more was yet to come.

Bai Piaopiao gently waved her jade-like hand, and the entire secret chamber seemed to shift into another dimension.

Her own power was completely suppressed, unable to manifest even a fraction.

"You... who exactly are you, and what is your purpose here!"

Li Moqiu felt her scalp tingle, having never encountered such terrifying powerhouses in her life. She asked again in fear.

"There's no need to panic."

"I mean you no harm."

"Suppressing your cultivation is just to avoid unnecessary conflicts."

Bai Piaopiao said softly, then gently pointed her hand, sending a stream of energy into Li Moqiu's body, soothing her emotions.

In an instant, Li Moqiu's panic seemed to calm down significantly.

Even her injured state due to the failed breakthrough had improved.

"Sit."

Bai Piaopiao said gently and sat down first, with the old man behind her doing the same.

Li Moqiu dared not speak, and she sat down afterward, cautiously watching the two.

"My name is Bai Piaopiao, a friend of Yi Feng."

Bai Piaopiao said softly, her words carrying a gentle warmth.

"You're Yi Feng's friend?"

Li Moqiu was slightly surprised.

No wonder this woman was so powerful; she was Yi Feng's friend. That made sense.

Thinking of that man, Li Moqiu couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Her pretty face also showed a hint of sadness.

When she first met Yi Feng in the mountains, she had only thought he was an insignificant nobody. It wasn't until later that she discovered he was the revered array master admired by thousands.

Given their initial interactions, she at least had a chance to see him again.

But because of her father's impulsive actions, things...

So now, in her eyes, Yi Feng was only someone she occasionally thought about in her mind. She didn't dare to harbor any other emotions toward him.

"But he's already left here. You're probably too late to find him..."

Li Moqiu said softly.

"I know."

Bai Piaopiao said softly.

"Then why are you looking for me...?"

Li Moqiu was puzzled.

"I can sense that when he was in Tianlun City, you had more interactions with him."

"So I just came to ask you about what he did here every day, what he ate, where he walked, and any interesting things he did. I hope you can tell me everything in detail."

Bai Piaopiao asked gently.

"Ask this?"

Li Moqiu looked up in surprise.

A super powerful figure like her came to her just to ask what Yi Feng had done and eaten here?

She couldn't help but meet Bai Piaopiao's pure gaze.

And when she did, she understood.
