An hour earlier, Sophia had stepped quietly out of the hospital doors, a ghostly shadow haunted by restless thoughts.

For days, she'd kept her family at arm's length, erecting an invisible barrier around her wounded heart.

Her soul felt raw, tormented by relentless doubts about Alex.

Perhaps she had always been unfair, perhaps she should have trusted him sooner.

After all, their marriage was already torn to shreds; yet, somewhere deep inside, she knew Alex deserved an apology far greater than h

    Outside the second-floor library, the old man stood frozen.For decades, those problems had hung on the wall—untouched, unanswered, almost forgotten. Yet now, one after another, they were being solved.By a single young man.Jun Jiu.The old man’s eyes trembled as they scanned the answers on the paper. Each line was clear. Precise. Flawless.His hands began to shake.His breathing turned uneven.Impossible…Yet the truth was right in front of him.This… this is impossible.A surge of excitement hit him so hard he nearly stepped forward.I have to take him as my disciple.The words burned in his throat. He wanted to shout them. To grab Alex by the shoulder and drag him away if he had to.“He is incredible! He must become my disciple!”But he didn’t move.A promise held him back.The sect leaders wanted this young man—so he had no choice but to step aside.The old man clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white.To hell with promises.“I want him,” he muttered under his breath.Witho

    Alex stood inside the quiet library of the Medicine Pavilion.At a wooden table near the entrance sat an elder, deep in meditation. His eyes were closed, his breathing slow and steady, as if the outside world didn’t exist.Alex walked up to him and spoke respectfully.“Honorable Elder,” Alex said respectfully, bowing slightly. “I would like to access the second floor using my merit points.The elder didn’t open his eyes.“Place your medallion on the table. One day on the second floor costs one thousand merit points. When the points run out, someone will escort you out.”“Thank you,” Alex said with a slight bow.He placed his medallion on the table, then turned and walked toward the staircase.Usually, a faint energy barrier blocked the path to the second floor, refusing him entry no matter how close he got.But this time, the barrier parted silently.Alex climbed the stairs.When he reached the second floor, the difference was immediately clear.The space was far smaller than the firs

    Guo Mingxuan’s hands even began to tremble.He had to resist the urge to break open one of the ginseng roots just to inspect the inside.Before he could do anything, Elder Hou suddenly strode forward.With a casual wave of his sleeve—A powerful gust of energy exploded outward.Li Tianyu and Guo Mingxuan were instantly sent tumbling several meters away.Elder Hou then stepped forward and stood directly in front of the massive roots, staring at them with wide eyes.After a long moment, he inhaled sharply.“Th-this…”His voice trembled.“This really is Earth spirit ginseng!!”For a moment, the surrounding Outer Sect disciples stood frozen in shock.Then the entire courtyard erupted into chaos.“Earth spirit ginseng!!”“I can’t believe those giant roots are actually Earth spirit ginseng!!”“How is that even possible?!”“How could Earth spirit ginseng grow this big?!”“Those roots are long!”“As big as an adult human body. Th-that’s… ginseng?!”The noise of the crowd grew even louder as p

    “Disciple Guo Mingxuan has also cultivated Earth Spirit Ginseng.”A long-faced young man with narrow eyes stepped out from the crowd.As he walked forward, his gaze slid toward Li Tianyu with open disdain.The moment the surrounding disciples recognized him, the entire crowd stirred with excitement.“It’s Elder Brother Guo Mingxuan!”“I heard Elder Brother Guo’s skill with spirit herbs is just as strong as Li Tianyu’s!”“That’s right. They’re always ranked first and second on Thousand Herbs Peak!”The atmosphere instantly changed.The disciples shifted their attention between the two men, sensing that something interesting was about to happen.“Well, well… now we’ll get to see them compete.”“They’ve been rivals for years.”“Both of them want the title of number one spirit herb cult

    All Alex wanted was to survive in this place and eventually find a way out.That was it.He didn’t want fame. He didn’t want status. He certainly didn’t want to throw himself into some reckless competition that could get him killed.So why did everything here seem to drag him toward danger?He truly couldn’t understand the way these people thought.Still… in his current condition, he had no way of facing Li Chingxue.If this had happened in the past—when his power was still intact—the situation would have been completely different. Back then, he could have slapped that beautiful, arrogant face of hers without hesitation.And she would have had no choice but to accept it.But now…“Why am I so unlucky…?”Alex let out a long sigh.Complaining wouldn’t change anything. Right now, the only real way to protect himself was to grow stronger. He needed better skills. Better martial arts.And that meant reaching the second floor of the library.The first floor only held basic manuals—technique

    Pure Snow Sword Maiden, Li Chingxue, stood among the most important disciples in the entire sect. She was one of the five core disciples personally chosen by the Sect Master—a position far above the ordinary ranks.Core disciples answered directly to the Sect Master himself. They handled matters that affected the entire sect—internal disputes, external threats, and the delicate balance of power within Wudang.And from those five, one would eventually inherit the position of Sect Master.Their status inside Wudang Sect was not merely high.It was decisive.Li Chingxue stood calmly before the Sect Master and bowed with quiet respect.“Master, is there anything you need from me?”The Sect Master looked at her, then suddenly laughed.“The person you brought to the sect…” he said slowly, amusement flickering in his eyes. “That young man is extremely interesting. Ever since he appeared, life in this old sect has become far less boring.”Li Chingxue’s brows tightened slightly.“Master, if he
