The Liuguang Sect
Three Weeks Later…
Mo Yan and Yu Sui were finally ready to leave.
But before they began their next journey,
They returned to the temple
The one where Master Fung Shu Ri, Master Chui Yong, and Master Kin Lishuan had once stood.
Now… it was no longer a sacred hall.
It had become part of a dense, overgrown forest
Its walls crumbled, its silence heavy with memories.
But the robes of the masters…
Still lay untouched, resting where they'd last been.
Yu Sui and Mo Yan stood quietly
Their hearts heavy with emotion.
To see the remnants of their mentors again…
It hurt.
But this was not the time for grief.
They walked toward Master Kin Lishuan's robe.
Mo Yan knelt, brushing aside the dust, and gently searched the folds.
And then
They found it.
The Su Tao Jue seal.
The very one written by Queen Guzuie herself.
It was intact. Untouched.
Sacred.
Without wasting time, they took the seal and left.
Their next destination:
The Liuguang Sect.
They traveled swiftly, until they reached a quiet market town nestled at the edge of the sect's territory.
There, inside a humble shop, lived a once-revered elder
A wise man who had long ago served as headmaster of the Liuguang Sect Academy.
Mo Yan and Yu Sui bowed and explained everything
Every truth about Lin Chaoyuan,
Every lie, every manipulation.
The old man listened without interruption.
His eyes sharp, mind even sharper.
Then he took the Su Tao Jue seal into his hands…
And examined it carefully.
After a long pause, he finally spoke:
"It's real."
"And this handwriting...undoubtedly Queen Guzuie's."
