Four years ago, during the Flower Pinning Conference, Xuanji and the others were still children, only able to sit on the cold bench and watch from the sidelines, while Linglong fantasized more than once about growing up and participating in the conference herself, defeating all her opponents one by one and basking in the glorious limelight. Who would have known that four years later, the very uninterested Xuanji would be the one to participate in the new round of the Flower Pinning Conference, all because the Xuanyuan Sect needed extra disciples and she was selected as an alternate.
On the journey to Fuyu Island, Linglong could not contain her excitement, constantly talking to Xuanji about the conference. She hadn't changed at all, somehow gathering gossip on the participating disciples, investigating everything from their choice of weapons to even the foods they disliked, and reciting it all to Xuanji like a treasure trove of knowledge.
