"Even the Heartless Art can be broken through?" Wei Zhao was still somewhat puzzled. She had cultivated the Heartless Art, yet she could still go on loving Zhang Lifeng—that really was quite remarkable.
"That… who can say?" White Leader said. "Perhaps the legends are a little off."
Wei Zhao nodded. That was the only explanation there could be.
At the foot of the mountain in Snow Valley, a patrolling disciple discovered a Jeep Wrangler slowly making its way into Snow Valley's territory. Seeing this, the disciple immediately stepped in front of the Wrangler and raised one palm, signaling it to stop.
"This is the territory of Snow Valley. If you are travelers or explorers, I ask that you go no further!" Though the patrolling disciple's words sounded courteous, they carried an irresistible authority.
"So this is Snow Valley?" Xiaofen looked delightedly at the patrolling disciple who had appeared before them. The road here had been utterly deserted, and she had nearly begun to think they had gone the wrong way.
"This man is standing in the midst of ice and snow wearing only a thin white robe? Isn't he cold?" Liu Xinlan said, also rather surprised.
"I'll go have a look!" Kang Xiaofeng said to the two women. With that, he opened the car door and got out.
But the moment Kang Xiaofeng stepped out, a piercing cold wind struck him in the face, and he could not help but shiver. He hastily turned up his collar and said, "Hello, you must be a disciple of Snow Valley? The three of us are on our way to Snow Valley. Might you show us the way?"
"On your way to Snow Valley? Who are you people? What have you come here to do?" The valley-patrolling disciple was somewhat taken aback, for Kang Xiaofeng and his companions looked nothing like cultivators—they had not the slightest air of cultivators about them, and looked far more like tourists.
"We've come to visit an old friend," Kang Xiaofeng said.
"Visit an old friend? What old friend of yours could there be here?" the disciple asked, puzzled.
"Tang Zhi, of course. My girlfriend and she have been friends since childhood. We've come together to see her…" Kang Xiaofeng explained.
"What?! You've come to visit Elder Tang?" At the name Tang Zhi, the disciple was startled, and his expression changed at once from indifference to deference. "The three of you, please follow me. But you will need to wait in the guest rooms—I must go report this first!"
"Of course, no problem. Thank you!" Kang Xiaofeng said politely. Though Tang Zhi seemed to be a person of great consequence here, Kang Xiaofeng would not make things difficult for these ordinary patrolling disciples.
Kang Xiaofeng went back to drive the car, and followed the patrolling disciple to Snow Valley's guest rooms, where they settled in to rest for a while, while the disciple went off to report the truth of the matter. Naturally, he did not report to Tang Zhi, but directly to the Grand Elder!
Although Tang Zhi held a very high position in Snow Valley, the Grand Elder, in order to prevent Wei Zhao from coming to find Tang Zhi and affecting Tang Zhi's cultivation, required that anyone who came here seeking Tang Zhi must first pass the Grand Elder's review and approval.
The patrolling disciple went through Elder Zhang, the elder on duty, to summon the Grand Elder. Indeed, Elder Zhang was on duty again today—only, kind as Elder Zhang was, he did not dare openly defy the Grand Elder's orders.
"You mean to say these three outside are all friends of Tang Zhi?" After hearing the patrolling disciple's report, the Grand Elder furrowed her brow. "One man and two women? It isn't Wei Zhao, along with that Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu, come again, is it? Elder Zhang, come with me to have a look. If it is them, just send them away!"
"Yes, Grand Elder," Elder Zhang said hastily.
