Shao Yu glanced at Li Hongmei coldly and said, ”I, Shao Yu, will be sure to remember your dirty move today. Dali Clan… humph, just a bunch of lackeys!”

The people of the Dali Clan were displeased by the words. They disliked it when people humiliated them by calling them lackeys. After all, it was true that they had always worked for the Mu Clan and followed their orders blindly!

Shao Yu returned to Mu Ningxue's side. She shook her head when Mu Ningxue asked if she was hurt. ”I finally understand why you have chosen to leave the clan and establish your own. It's a disgrace to your talents to leave the world in the hands of these pricks!”

”I'm sorry that you're involved in this,” Mu Ningxue said.

”Don't worry about me, I'm actually looking forward to joining you now!” Shao Yu declared.

Mu Ningxue asked someone to bring Shao Yu to rest. It was meaningless for them to stay any further at the meeting that was held to insult them.

The rest of the people burst out laughing when Mu Ningxue and her people left.

When the people of Fanxue Mountain left, Nanrong Xi of the Nanrong Clan was the first to speak. He looked at Lin Ze who was in charge of the meeting and said, ”Elder, you've been a great help to us.”

”A little clan like them doesn't really bother me. I believe they won't be attending the rest of the meeting for the next few days,” Lin Ze said.

”We are all reputable renowned clans. Isn't it a little inappropriate to be picking on a clan that was only established recently?” Bai Liu'an of the Bai Clan said.

”What's the problem? Is the Bai Clan trying to speak on their behalf?”

”Forget it, it's only… sigh, forget it,” Bai Liu'an shook his head helplessly.

Li Ling glared at Shao Yu as she left. She clenched her fists in frustration and said, ”Damn it, that won't be the end of it!”

------

The group from Fanxue Mountain was staying on Gulangyu. There were a few more meetings still, but Mu Ningxue was wondering if there was any reason for them to stay after what happened today.

But to leave just like this? To surrender their rights so easily?

Mu Ningxue was not willing to give up. If they left, they would be doing exactly what those pricks wanted!

Mu Ningxue followed the path along the edge of the island. She looked at the blossoming flowers swaying in the wind, and at the waves rolling on the ocean. She was able to calm her thoughts...

It was indeed a terrible meeting. Fanxue Mountain was facing a lot of difficulties in almost every area. She could easily tell that the people of the Mu Clan were pulling the strings behind the scenes. That being said, Gulangyu was indeed a unique place, suitable for a retreat from the turmoil of the world. Separated by the sea, the modernity and impetuosity of the skyscrapers on the other side served as a great contrast to the lovely island covered in flowers, as if spring was the only season here. It did not feel too lonely, yet it could set one free from the worries of living in the city.

Mu Ningxue sat down on a boulder by the sea. Her hair was drifting in the wind. She recalled the events that took place on the bridge in Venice. The things that happened today were nothing compared to the despair she felt back then. She was prepared to face all the challenges the day she decided to take this path.

”You're enjoying yourself, aren't you? You are now a strong Advanced Mage, and you even managed to establish your own clan, but don't you forget that you were just a nobody ten years ago!” an eerie voice said.

Mu Ningxue did not even need to turn around to know who the person was. The man was seriously like a ghost haunting her.

Mu Ningxue ignored him. If he tried to start a fight here, she would make him pay too!

”Hand over the pieces of the Ice Crystal Bow. Otherwise, you won't be able to leave here in one piece!” Pan Xi snapped, his face contorted in anger. He was wearing a black robe, the outfit of a Disciplinary Mage.

How could Pan Xi not be angry? He was an authority of the Mu Clan, responsible for choosing suitable vessels to inherit the Ice Crystal Bow. If someone managed to gain full control of the Ice Crystal Bow, the whole Mu Clan would have to submit to him! The country would not dare to provoke them, and they would even gain a certain standing in the world.

Pan Xi never thought the Mu Ningxue he had brought up would take away the thing he treated as his precious. She had even established her own clan!

Would the Mu Clan let Mu Ningxue get away with the Ice Crystal Bow, when she was surely going to use it against them in return?

Pan Xi had been demoted by the head of the clan to a Disciplinary Mage, unless he was able to retrieve the Ice Crystal Bow!

”If you dare draw half a Star, I will make you vanish from this world,” Mu Ningxue replied coldly.

She had reached the third-tier of the Advanced Level. She would no longer overdraw her energy if she used the Ice Crystal Bow. She could utilize the full strength of the Ice Crystal Bow without damaging her soul.
