Huailan hesitated to entrust Lady Chaoyan with the task, knowing her limitations. After a moment of contemplation, she turned to Lin Xue and murmured, “Inform the Heaven Emperor of the situation. This is a significant issue concerning Lady Chaoyan’s future.”
Not only did Huailan issue instructions, but she also delineated the advantages and disadvantages of the situation.
Without hesitation, Lin Xue promptly rose to carry out the task.
Furthermore…
Addressing the members of the Flower Sect, Huailan remarked, “If you’re willing to wager against Lady Chaoyan, then she shouldn’t be the sole participant in the selection process. As representatives of the Flower Sect, it’s only fitting that you take the first step.”
Gu Chaoyan nodded in accord.
Huailan’s logic was sound.
Without attempting the task themselves, they wouldn’t grasp its intricacies.
The members of the Flower Sect exchanged knowing smiles, understanding their apprehension.
Indeed, Huailan’s suggestion was reasonable.
If successful in plucking the flowers, it would be a boon. If unsuccessful, it would merely be a minor setback. And if unable to pluck them at all, it wouldn’t overly tarnish the Flower Sect’s reputation.
In the past, the icy pools and Phoenix Flowers posed significant threats.
“But how long ago was that?”
Over time, they had developed remedies to shield themselves from harm, rendering them impervious to the dangers of the Cold Pond and the Phoenix Flower. Consequently, they remained unscathed.
However, for outsiders, the perils of the Cold Pond and the Phoenix Flower persisted.
“In that case, it’s fine for us to give it a try first.” The leader agreed, then said with a domineering expression, “In that case, let me demonstrate first.”
After stating her intentions, she utilized Sword Kinesis Flight to traverse the frigid pool and approached the Phoenix Flower. Despite her forceful attempts to pluck it, the flower remained firmly rooted, inflicting a wound on her hand as it greedily drew blood. Realizing the peril, she refrained from further efforts, mindful that her protective pills might prove inadequate.
Retracting her hand swiftly, she returned using Sword Kinesis Flight.
Although she had anticipated the outcome, a trace of dissatisfaction lingered. She muttered despondently, “It’s futile. Let’s move on.”
Her companions faced similar challenges. While they managed to navigate the icy pool, they too failed to pluck the Phoenix Flower.
Meanwhile, Gu Chaoyan refrained from attempting the feat.
A sense of urgency gripped Huailan.
Why hadn’t the Heaven Emperor arrived yet?
What should be done about Lady Chaoyan?
She couldn’t afford any missteps.
In theory, the Heaven Emperor should have arrived promptly.
Indeed, the Heaven Emperor could have hastened his arrival, but instead, he instructed Lin Xue to await calmly.
In contrast, Gu Chaoyan was eager to prove herself.
Equipped with Sword Kinesis Flight, she faced difficulties. The biting chill of the pool’s atmosphere disrupted her flight, causing her to plummet. While Gu Chaoyan was taken aback, the members of the Flower Faction reveled in her misfortune.
Gu Chaoyan’s face darkened.
This sword floated above the cold pool and slowly moved.
Her shoes were already wet.
Gu Chaoyan thought for a while, threw out a white ribbon, tied a knot on the branch near the The sight of Gu Chaoyan struggling with the Phoenix Flower was truly difficult to witness.
Her attempts seemed clumsy, almost painful to watch.
From the perspective of the Flower Sect members, she was perilously close to the frigid waters of the pool, risking the corrosion of her spiritual essence.
Yet, despite the odds, Gu Chaoyan persisted.
Approaching the Phoenix Flower with a gentle touch, she delicately plucked it.
