BXBX NOVEL Chapter 354 Lan Xue's Plan
"Lan Xue, I know you don\'t want to implicate the Glazed Lake Sect, trying not to extend the conflict between our two sects and consecutively not increasing our losses, but you should know that you\'re not alone."
"..." Lan Xue heard those words and she realized that the Lake Goddess already knew what were her real intentions, what she wanted to accomplish by leaving the sect.
She desperately wanted to get her revenge against the Sanctuary Master, the man that was responsible for the loss of her father, mother and now, her grandmother. But for that to happen, she would have to dedicate her time and energy to devise a plan in order to accomplish it.
However, making a move against someone like the Sanctuary Master, was easily said than done.
Everyone knew that the people from the Illusive Ethereal Sanctuary, lived hidden behind an immense profound formation bound to their bloodline. In order to enter or leave that territory, the group of individuals would have to be guided by someone that had that peculiar bloodline, else the purple fog that covered their whole sect territory wouldn\'t permit your entrance.
Other than that, rare were the occasions when someone of that sect had the permission or even willingly wanted to leave from their territory, since they felt a sense of disconnection with their goddess whenever that happened.
Obviously, Lan Xue didn\'t want to implicate anyone from her sect in something so selfish, like an invasion or an assassination plan against the leader of that wretched cult and that\'s why she didn\'t understand when the Lake Goddess said that she wasn\'t alone. Who could it be, that would be willing to throw his or her life away just for that?
"Sigh... You should know that you grandmother would never wish to see you losing yourself in a suicidal vengeance. She had strongly wished for you to live a peaceful life, far away from the problematic scenery that had always circled that sect."
"Lake Goddess..." Lan Xue gritted her teeth, since she knew those words were the truth, yet she couldn\'t just erase those dark feelings inside of her heart.
"But... I know you won\'t be able to move on if you don\'t do it."
Lan Xue suddenly lifted her head and looked towards the goddess in surprise.
The Lake Goddess continued: "However, there is no need for you to leave the sect; I don\'t mind if your selfishness could bring us some more problems. I allow you to maintain your position and honor, so you don\'t need to keep kneeling down."
"Thank you, goddess." The Twelfth Palace Master stood up.
"You\'re free to go and do as you wish; however, you have to promise me one thing. It is something your grandmother would wish to see it happening as well."
"What is it?" Lan Xue felt really interested in something her grandmother wished for and even though she didn\'t know how the Lake Goddess knew all of those things, she blindly believed on her words.
The source of that belief, came from things her grandmother had told her once.
The Lake Goddess extended her right hand and a Glazed Stone flew towards Lan Xue.
"Give him that stone."
"Who are you talking ab...?"
"It is someone that I know you can trust and someone that the Lake Mother would like to see standing by your side, on a difficult time like this. If you give him that Glazed Stone, I\'m certain your chances of succeeding on what you\'re trying to do, are going to rise. Maybe, even a miracle could happen..."
Lan Xue picked the Glazed Stone while she tried to fully understand what all those words meant. She was about to ask a few more questions, but the Lake Goddess had already disappeared. However, she still got a last message from the goddess.
"He is staying at the Elven Kingdom right now. You\'ll be able to find him there, if you meet with the Elf Queen."
After that, a swirling vortex of water appeared on the ground. It drew a lot of Mana and water elemental particles present on the air towards it and expanded, until it was able to connect to a certain point on the outside world.
The Lake Goddess was actually using a very special method in order to accomplish that, but since time was the key, she had to spend a little bit more of energy, just to make Lan Xue\'s journey a bit faster. Else, she would take more than an entire week to traverse the whole Human Territory and arrive at the Ereinrith City.
Lan Xue looked at that huge water vortex and was able to see the scenery on the other side. It didn\'t seem to be somewhere in the Blue Breze Country, but a place very far away from there. In fact, Lan Xue was able to recognize a bit of the vegetation around the lake where that vortex would bring her to, and she realized that those trees, the plants and animals around that area, were very peculiar to the forests circling around the Elven Territory.
The Lake Goddess words were precise, even though they were not very clear. But somehow, those words were able to reach Lan Xue and create a seed inside of her heart. If she was thinking of doing everything alone before, now, she was already considering the possibility of telling Seth her story. Inside her head, she strongly believed the Lake Goddess was talking about him, but she didn\'t know why. Actually, she was unconsciously hoping it was about him.
After a few minutes, feeling lost and unsettled, Lan Xue finally decided to walk the paved road in front of her. She jumped inside the vortex, vanishing from the Glazed Lake Sect.
