Chapter 822: Chapter 818: The Concerns of Master and Disciple

Pushing open the attic door effortlessly, Ji Dantong headed straight to the second floor. Her footsteps echoed quietly on the wooden stairs, not loud but noticeable against the silent surroundings.

The hall on the ground floor of the attic was shrouded in darkness, with only the light from outside to navigate. But for someone of Ji Dantong’s skill level, she could move smoothly in the dark just by sensing, avoiding any accidents.

As she ascended in the light from outside, Xu Ming’s door swung open of its own accord with a slight creak, followed by a pleasant yet slightly cool voice...

”Come in!”

This familiar voice was indeed Xu Ming’s. With permission granted, Ji Dantong hesitated no longer and walked straight into the room.

There, Xu Ming was cloaked in a thin garment, with her fair shoulders partly visible. On the round table before her were two steaming cups of fragrant tea, as if she had been waiting for some time.

Upon seeing this, Ji Dantong clasped her hands in salute and said, ”I apologize for disturbing you at this late hour, Master!”

Xu Ming raised a brow slightly, his tone calm, ”Sit down and tell me what’s the matter.”

Having grown accustomed to Xu Ming’s demeanor, Ji Dantong wasn’t surprised. After taking her seat, she went straight to the point, detailing Sun Miaohan’s unsealing incident to Xu Ming.

Yet, as Ji Dantong continued to explain, Xu Ming’s expression grew increasingly grave.

On the surface, Xu Ming still maintained an unperturbed appearance. But Ji Dantong understood well that for Xu Ming to appear this way, the matter must be quite serious.

But with Xu Ming silent, Ji Dantong had to hold her many questions, not daring to voice them.

...

After a long while, Xu Ming finally parted her lips, saying one sentence that weighed heavily on Ji Dantong’s heart...

”This time, people from Wind Blade Valley also went.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Dantong was utterly shocked and immediately asked, ”People from Wind Blade Valley went too?”

Xu Ming nodded slowly in affirmation, ”Yes, and Miaohan may be in real trouble this time!”

Seeing Xu Ming’s confirmation, Ji Dantong’s face became intensely serious; if that were the case, Sun Miaohan’s situation might indeed be precarious.

Speaking of Wind Blade Valley, Ji Dantong couldn’t help but think of someone—the sole heir of the Wind Blade Valley Sect Leader, the highly positioned Young Master named Tao Zhenghao.

During one of Sun Miaohan’s outdoor ventures, she inadvertently encountered an extraordinary person.

Back then, all Sun Miaohan did was glance at him once, unexpectedly attracting innumerable troubles, even altering the dynamics of Madman Valley, Heartbreak Valley, and Profound Spirit Valley.

The moment Tao Zhenghao first saw Sun Miaohan, he felt she was the person he had been waiting for all along—the one who could accompany him for the rest of his life.

This feeling came without reason, yet Tao Zhenghao was absolutely convinced and immediately approached Sun Miaohan with unsolicited advances.

Sun Miaohan, holding the belief that she could manipulate all men at her whim, naturally welcomed any encounter, speaking many inappropriate words.

After their meal, Sun Miaohan returned to her sect without any burdens. However, Tao Zhenghao seemed to have taken it seriously.

Since their separation, each day Sun Miaohan would receive a letter from Tao Zhenghao, filled with extremely gushy content, akin to the work of wandering poets or overly dramatic youths, which made Sun Miaohan cringe, feeling no genuine affection.

Nevertheless, Tao Zhenghao was steadfast, believing that his daily persistence would eventually melt Sun Miaohan’s icy heart, and so he began sending love letters even more maniacally, reaching a peak of seven in one day.

Moreover, each letter was no less than a thousand words, with non-repetitive sentences throughout.

Unable to bear it, Sun Miaohan finally confronted the issue directly, plainly stating that there was no possibility between her and Tao Zhenghao.

Yet, Sun Miaohan didn’t foresee that her blunt response would somehow instill newfound confidence in Tao Zhenghao, reigniting a heart that had intended to give up.

As days passed, Tao Zhenghao’s letters grew increasingly flamboyant and explicit and even bestowed Sun Miaohan with a fond nickname—Hanhan!

Eventually, the fire couldn’t be hidden. Once the high-level members of Heartbreak Valley became aware of Sun Miaohan’s routine mail, they immediately gave it serious attention.

The reason was simple; Tao Zhenghao was the next Sect Leader of Wind Blade Valley, which Heartbreak Valley’s high-level members couldn’t overlook. The subsequent letters were thus handled by the higher-ups.

Before long, whether driven by longing or obsession, the leaders of Heartbreak Valley could no longer stand by as their disciple suffered daily harassment, formally negotiating with Wind Blade Valley to protest such verbal harassment.

Wind Blade Valley naturally denied any wrongdoing, accusing Heartbreak Valley of making something out of nothing, leading to a month-long war of words where both sides vehemently criticized each other, seeming almost ready for armed conflict.

Despite this, the Sect Leader of Wind Blade Valley knew his son well. Upon receiving Heartbreak Valley’s protest, he immediately grounded Tao Zhenghao, claiming it was to avoid suspicion.

Under such circumstances, Heartbreak Valley had little choice but to let it go, though still relentlessly pursuing the issue of their disciple’s harassment, causing Wind Blade Valley considerable distress.

The sect’s strong support greatly moved Sun Miaohan, yet she was far more relieved not to suffer harassment or be summoned by the high-ranking members.

But her relief didn’t last long before new trouble arose, surpassing previous issues.

A few days after Wind Blade Valley guaranteed no similar incidents would occur, coincidentally, Heartbreak Valley’s high-level members once again intercepted a love letter from Tao Zhenghao, and this time its content did provoke a storm...

This even raised doubts whether the letter was indeed written by Tao Zhenghao.

Reflecting on this, Heartbreak Valley’s leaders compared Tao Zhenghao’s past letters to confirm the handwriting was his. With this confirmation, new doubts arose...
