Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 2482: The Acquaintance from Moon’s Reflection Lake

Jian Chen studied the Donglin clan and discovered that the entire place was enveloped by a powerful formation. The formation had already been activated, making the barrier truly impenetrable. The only way in and out was the entrance of the Donglin clan.

Infiltration was completely impossible.

“It looks like secretly meeting Donglin Yanxue is impossible. I can only pay a visit like everyone else. Even if I raise the attention of some people, there’s nothing I can do about it,” Jian Chen thought. After a moment of silence, he finally arrived at the entrance of the clan and said to an attendant, “Please help me pass on the message that an acquaintance has come to visit miss Donglin Yanxue and that the acquaintances hopes to meet the young miss.”

The attendant of the Donglin clan studied Jian Chen. When he saw how Jian Chen had come alone and did not bring anyone with him, he immediately showed a sliver of contempt.

Moreover, what seemed even funnier to him was that all the organisations who had come to visit the Donglin clan bore rich gifts, while Jian Chen had actually come empty-handed. The attendant felt even more disdain towards Jian Chen from how he did not plan on giving anything.

“And you call yourself the young lady’s acquaintance. In my opinion, your so-called acquaintanceship is only seeing each other at most. Now that the young miss has become a wielder of a protector sword, her status has swelled tremendously. You just want to use this tiny connection to befriend the young miss. Who knows how many people like you I’ve seen in the past few years,” thought the attendant.

That was indeed the case. After Donglin Yanxue inherited a protector sword, both her status and identity changed. As a result, many people wanted to befriend her and establish ties with her.

In particular, the stronger disciples of the Radiant Saint Hall, peak lords, or elders would frequently come to the Donglin clan to meet Donglin Yanxue. A few Hallowed Saint Masters who clearly did not have any significant ties with her would use whatever they could to try and get close to her, saying that they were her seniors or had once provided her with guidance. There were all sorts of excuses.

There were plenty of people who had seen Donglin Yanxue once in the past, and then they suddenly refer to themselves as Donglin Yanxue’s acquaintance.

As a result, the attendant was filled with contempt when he heard Jian Chen refer to himself as Donglin Yanxue’s acquaintance.

“Our young lady is not meeting anyone. Please return,” the attendant said neither rudely nor politely.

Jian Chen did not care about his attitude at all. He continued, “Please tell her that the acquaintance from the Moon’s Reflection Lake has come to visit. Whether your young lady wants to meet me or not should be up to her to decide.”

“What acquaintance from the Moon’s Reflection Lake? Our young lady has said she’s not meeting anyone...” The attendant became fed up.

Jian Chen frowned. He became slightly stern and said forcefully, “I’ll come clean. I have something extremely important to talk to miss Donglin Yanxue about. If something happens, are you able to bear the blame from the young miss?”

“If you tell her, you won’t be in the wrong even if the young lady declines. However, if you really end up getting in the way of the young lady’s matters, the consequences will be severe.”

When the attendant saw how serious Jian Chen was, he became rather uncertain as well. He began to hesitate.

“Alright then. Just wait here. I’ll pass on the message.” In the end, the attendant was scared into doing Jian Chen’s bidding, turning around and disappearing from the entrance of the Donglin clan.

There were many attendants like that at the entrance of the Donglin clan. As a matter of fact, there were people dressed as caretakers in charge of receiving important guests, so what happened with Jian Chen did not raise any attention at all.

The attendant ran over to a beautiful courtyard within the Donglin clan in a hurry. That was where Donglin Yanxue cultivated and resided, but now, the place had been labelled as a forbidden ground by the Donglin clan. No one was allowed to enter.

The courtyard was watched over by its own female attendants. They were basically Donglin Yanxue’s personal attendants.

The attendant arrived before a female attendant and passed on Jian Chen’s message word for word. He had no right to see Donglin Yanxue, so he could only give the message to Donglin Yanxue’s attendant for her to pass it on.

The female attendant was called Qiu Han, the person who had been with Donglin Yanxue the longest. She basically grew up with Donglin Yanxue. Qiu Han basically knew Donglin Yanxue better than anyone else in the Donglin clan. As soon as she heard the message, she scoffed, “What acquaintance from the Moon’s Reflection Lake? I’ve been with the young miss for so many years. If the young miss really has an acquaintance like that, how would I not know? It’s probably just someone who wants to grow close to the young lady. There’s no need to pay any attention to someone like that. Send him away.”

The attendant did not dare to say anything else before Donglin Yanxue’s personal attendant. He turned around and left.

Qiu Han looked at the time of the day before entering the courtyard. She arrived beside a lake with great familiarity.

The lake was not large, roughly a hundred metres across. There was a large rock in the centre, and Donglin Yanxue currently sat there. A dense layer of light enveloped her, and the Laws of the Hallowed wrapped around her. Clearly, she was cultivating.

“Young miss, it’s time,” Qiu Han stood by the lake and called out. Her beautiful eyes were filled with undisguised admiration and respect.

After Donglin Yanxue became the wielder of a protector sword, she became treated with great importance by the ancestor of the Donglin clan. He completely treated her like a treasure, personally guiding her cultivation. As a result, Donglin Yanxue would visit the ancestor of the Donglin clan frequently.

Donglin Yanxue stopped cultivating. She opened her eyes slowly and light gathered below her feet. She floated to the edge of the lake like she was a cloud, making her way out.

Qiu Han followed behind her.

“Why do I feel slightly uneasy? Qiu Han, what has happened recently?” Donglin Yanxue suddenly asked as she made her way to where the ancestor cultivated.

Qiu Han followed behind Donglin Yanxue politely. She shook her head and said, “Young miss, everything has been peaceful recently. Nothing major has happened. It’s just that more and more people are coming to visit the young miss. In order to establish ties with the young miss, these people can really come up with anything. They’re basically willing to go to any length. Even some so-called seniors and juniors from the Radiant Saint Hall had come or even some acquaintance from the Moon’s Reflection Lake. These people are all shameless. Just to meet the young miss, they’re willing to do anything. However, I’ve followed your orders from before and sent all those people away.”

Donglin Yanxue was originally calm, but when she heard ‘acquaintance from Moon Reflection’s Lake’, she suddenly stiffened. She suddenly stopped, almost causing Qiu Han to run into her.

Donglin Yanxue abruptly turned around and stared right at Qiu Han. She said in a flustered voice, “What did you just say? What did you just say?”

“Young miss, w- what’s wrong?” Qiu Han was stunned when she saw Donglin Yanxue violent reaction. Qiu Han had followed her for so many years, but she had never seen Donglin Yanxue lose her composure.

“Qiu Han, what did you just say? Can you say it again?” Donglin Yanxue struggled to remain composed as she grabbed Qiu Han’s shoulders tightly.

“Young miss, e- e- everything has... been peaceful...” Qiu Han was truly frightened. She felt unsettled and uneasy, repeating what she had just said in a trembling, stammering voice.

“Moon’s Reflection Lake... Moon’s Reflection Lake...” Donglin Yanxue repeated gently. She was extremely excited right now, where even her body trembled gently.

The Moon’s Reflection Lake was where she first met Jian Chen, was it not?

That night, when she met Jian Chen at the Moon’s Reflection Lake, only the two of them knew. There was no one else.

“Where is he? Where is he? Tell me, where the acquaintance from the Moon’s Reflection Lake is?” Donglin Yanxue asked hurriedly. She only had one acquaintance from the Moon’s Reflection Lake. No one knew about him aside from her.

“Young miss, I- I’ve already... No, he should still be waiting at the main entrance,” Qiu Han faltered as she paled in fright.

Now, she could tell that this so-called acquaintance of Moon’s Reflection Lake really was familiar with the young lady. Originally, Qiu Haan wanted to say that she had sent him away, but she changed it forcefully when she was about to say that.

Swish!

With a flash, Donglin Yanxue vanished. At that moment, she directly cast the visit to the ancestor of the Donglin clan aside and flew towards the main entrance as quickly as she could.

Qiu Han became sheet-white as she stared in the direction that Donglin Yanxue had vanished off to. She said in a trembling voice, “Oh no, oh no. How is this acquaintance from the Moon’s Reflection Lake actually acquainted with the young miss, and looking at how the young miss behaved, they’re probably close. Yet I- I’ve turned him away. I just hope he hasn’t left yet, or I- I really don’t know how the young miss will punish me.”
