Chapter 1904 — The Phone Call from Snow Valley

And this was still the case where Tang Zhi had first received the inheritance before beginning her cultivation. Had she not been the inheritor, breaking through each level's barrier during cultivation would have been far more agonizing—nothing short of sheer torment.
But even without the barriers, Tang Zhi still suffered terribly during her cultivation...
Yet she had never spoken of her pain to anyone—not to her mother, not even to the Grand Elder. Because Tang Zhi knew this was her own choice, and the most resolute choice of all. Every time she finished cultivating, the thought that she would become a capable fighter, someone with the strength to stand shoulder to shoulder with Wei Zhao, sent a surge of genuine happiness through her heart!
I, too, can be as strong as you, can become your helpmate... Even though in reality that can no longer come to pass, in my dreams I will fight beside you! Never again will I be your burden—I will be your pride!
When the great ancient sects exchange news, they still keep to the old traditions—correspondence by letter.
But for major matters, they also have the most up-to-date high-tech means of communication: the satellite phone! Within Snow Valley's inner gates there is no cell signal and no landline, but the satellite phone works unimpeded.
Of course, only when a sect's elders or its leader have important matters to discuss do they bring out the satellite phone!
"Sister Xue, might I borrow the valley's satellite phone for a moment?" Tang Zhi sought out Xue Li, wanting to call Feng Xiaoxiao—because she truly feared her mother would be one step ahead and ruin everything.
"The satellite phone? You want to make a call?" Xue Li gave Tang Zhi a rather puzzled look. Tang Zhi's parents were both here already—who else could she possibly be calling?
"I want to call Feng Xiaoxiao," Tang Zhi said.
"Feng Xiaoxiao... you mean the one from the Ice Palace..." Xue Li's expression tensed. Snow Valley had not yet told the Ice Palace that they had found an inheritor; she had wanted to wait until Tang Zhi became a Heaven-rank fighter and then show off—that would surely be a stunning revelation!
After all, Tang Zhi had cultivated after receiving the inheritance, whereas Feng Xiaoxiao had received hers after cultivating, so Tang Zhi's progress was much faster. Because Tang Zhi no longer faced a cultivator's level barriers, one could not say her path of cultivation would be smooth sailing, but at the very least neither wind nor rain would stop her.
So when Snow Valley eventually produced an inheritor at the peak of the late Heaven rank all at once, it would naturally be more stunning than revealing it now. But who would have thought Tang Zhi wanted to make this call right away...
Still, on reflection, Xue Li realized that given the relationship between Tang Zhi, Feng Xiaoxiao, and Bing Tang, this matter probably could not be kept secret for long. After all, Bing Tang's birth mother was living in Snow Valley—concealing it for a while might work, but concealing it for any length of time would be difficult.
Besides, Tang's mother had said today that she was going to raid the Ice Palace and seize all its rare treasures for Wei Zhao. Could she possibly keep quiet about Tang Zhi? Better, then, to go shock that little miss Bing Tang early and let her know that Snow Valley had an inheritor too!
"Yes, her—and also Wei Zhao's... little wife." Tang Zhi smiled faintly.
Xue Li frowned. She did not know just how good Wei Zhao was, that so many people liked him. But this was another family's private affair, and Xue Li could hardly say much. She only said, "Very well, Sister Tang Zhi. I will discuss it with the Grand Elder, though I expect there will be no problem..."
"Thank you!" Tang Zhi nodded.
