Feng Tianlan had initially guessed that the traitor would be one of the four island masters. Who would have thought that it would be the headmaster of the Flying Frost Pavilion?
Dealing with the headmaster of the greatest sect on the Guiyuan Continent was not going to be easy. She would have to reveal his true nature to the people and turn them against him. That way, he would be an easier target. For now, she could only plan out her next move…

Tu Xiupei’s Cinnabar field had been removed and now she would be a disabled person. She lay in her bed full of despair. Tears still leaked from the corner of her eyes.
“Pei’er, don’t worry. I will definitely avenge you. It will be even more agonizing for Feng Tianlan when I remove her Cinnabar field.” Qi Shujie held Tu Xiupei’s hand as he comforted her through gritted teeth.
Tu Xiupei blinked, and crystal tears flowed down her face. “Senior Brother, she is the great-grandmaster right now. With the grandmaster who has such a strong spiritual force protecting her, we can’t do anything!”
“Pei’er…”
“Senior Brother, I am alright, but you—” Before she could finish her sentence, she began to cry again.
“Even though the grandmaster is strong, he won’t be able to protect Feng Tianlan every moment of the day. You know that the grandmaster has never left the Forbidden Island for twenty years and he never will leave the island. His trip here today will definitely have consequences. We’ll just have to wait.”
Speaking of Feng Tianlan, Qi Shujie felt a dull pain pulsing through his lower body. For his lost manhood, he must make Feng Tianlan beg him for her own death!
“Since I am disabled now, I am not fit to be with you anymore.” Tu Xiupei’s cry became more heartrending.
Qi Shujie reached out and wiped away her flowing tears gently. The sinister glint in his eyes was like that of a poisonous snake. “Who says a removed Cinnabar field can’t be restored?”
“Senior Brother…” Tu Xiupei mumbled in fear.
Qi Shujie relaxed his gaze once more when he noticed her reaction. “Don’t worry, Pei’er. Our master will restore your Cinnabar field and you will be able to slaughter Feng Tianlan with your own two hands.”
Tu Xiupei nodded but she continued crying. But behind her tears, she had already begun scheming.
There was a knock on the door and Qi Hongan came in. He glanced at the two of them and asked without a greeting, “Pei’er, are you familiar with the one called Luo Yunzhu?”
“She is the current dean of the Blue Flame Academy. She has been Feng Tianlan’s best friend since we were young, but we’re not close.” Who wanted to be friends with that b*tch anyway?
“Is the Galaxy Whip a skill of the Blue Flame Academy?” Qi Hongan asked in a low voice. Luo Yunzhu’s whip technique threatened him like a sword hovering above his head. She could ruin everything he had worked for.
Tu Xiupei was silent for a while, gathering her thoughts, trying to comprehend what information the headmaster was asking her for—Luo Yunzhu’s whip technique. She said, “No, I have never seen that skill before. I have never heard about the existence of that skill at the academy.”
“Tell me more about Luo Yunzhu.” Qi Hongan was very uneasy. The Galaxy Whip had been a skill passed down to members of the Shang Family. Outsiders would never know about it. She couldn’t have learned that skill unless…
There must be a survivor of the Shang Family after all! He must uncover who it was and kill that person to end this matter once and for all!
Dissatisfied with so little information about Luo Yunzhu, Qi Hongan left in a huff. He would send someone to investigate that woman thoroughly.
“Master, he…” Tu Xiupei turned to Qi Shujie in confusion.
“It’s alright. Get some rest. I will think of ways to restore your Cinnabar field,” Qi Shujie assured Tu Xiupei and left.
Tu Xiupei put her hands over her stomach. Her Cinnabar field was the part of her that contained all her spiritual energy. Now, it was gone. There was no hint of spiritual force within her anymore. Her eyes glowed red with anger. She ground her teeth and cursed under her breath, “Feng Tianlan, Brother Jin will kill you. Just wait and see.”
