"Luna, there's only one way to save Solarion Palace from disaster: you must go to Skyshade Hall. This is the condition Hector Vaughn set, but he demands that you remain a virgin. We hope you'll put the palace's survival above all else and go to Skyshade Hall with your father." Xander Xuan spoke, his voice heavy with helplessness.
They'd expected Luna to refuse, but to their surprise, she agreed immediately. "I'll do it. But I want you both to promise me one thing: if Evan Lin ever truly rises above the rest, I want to marry him."
Her words left Xander Xuan and his consort utterly stunned. It was as if she were spouting nonsense—once she went to Skyshade Hall, how could she possibly marry that boy? Clearly, their daughter was far too infatuated with Evan Lin, and that was no good thing.
Seeing their expressions, Luna said coldly, "I know you think I'm dreaming, but I believe Evan Lin will do it one day—and he'll destroy Skyshade Hall too. Believe it or not, it's up to you. Whether I go to Skyshade Hall or stay here makes no difference to my fate."
"If that day ever comes, of course I'll agree to your wish. But I hope you won't do anything reckless at Skyshade Hall," Xander Xuan replied.
With that, the three left the secret chamber. Luna returned to her own room, bathed, and changed into a beautiful dress—her beauty was beyond words. Staring into the distance, she murmured, "Evan Lin, you must have broken through to Immortal Emperor by now. When you emerge, I believe no one in the Immortal Realm will be your match."
Little did she know, Evan Lin was currently frantically absorbing Immortal Essence, still a long, long way from the Immortal Emperor realm she imagined...
In the grand hall of Dream Spirit Sanctuary, Lynn Ling (Fairy Lynn) sat at the head, with several dozen female cultivators arrayed below. The domain's principal lord hadn't managed affairs for centuries, now in deep seclusion to cultivate for her imminent ascension to the God Realm.
All internal and external matters were entrusted to her most beloved disciple, Lynn Ling, who proved a capable leader, keeping Dream Spirit Sanctuary running in perfect order. The sanctuary's influence was vast, and with many Immortal Realm men seeking dual-cultivation partners, Dream Spirit Sanctuary enjoyed the best relations among the Six Great Powers.
"I've gathered everyone today to discuss the upcoming birthday of Zane Zuo, lord of Coldshroud Imperial Palace, who will be turning one hundred thousand next month. Living that long is normal in the Immortal Realm, but as a palace lord, his invitation carries weight. What tribute should we send, and who should we appoint as envoys?" Lynn Ling asked.
