It took two days for Jiang Nanyue's letter to finally reach Qixia Palace, delivered directly by a gatekeeper disciple into the hands of Chu Jin. Chu Jin had emerged from seclusion just a few days prior after more than half a year inside. When she received the letter, she was filled with confusion—she had only just left seclusion, so who could possibly be writing to her?
When Chu Jin opened the envelope, she found only a single sentence written inside: "Kongming Palace disciple Yun Li is the daughter of Princess Zhaoxia and the true master of Qixia Palace."
This single sentence made Chu Jin's eyes sharply contract. The phrase "the true master of Qixia Palace" in particular deeply pierced her eyes. For nearly twenty years, no matter how hard she had worked for Qixia Palace, exhausting every means to lead it to its peak, in the eyes of those stubborn old men she was never truly the master of Qixia Palace. For all these years, they had also been secretly searching for the young master left behind by their former master—she hadn't been oblivious to it.
