The Saintess Has A Showdown 364

Chapter 364: The Ice Eye Saintess

“Aren’t you going to say anything? Just letting them spread rumors like this?”

Gong Shuihe was furious. This woman, a Gong family Spirit Master, was ignoring the blatant slander.

The Gong family’s innate teardrop eyes were a result of their bloodline’s fusion with a Lost Scroll. Even in the entire spirit world, they were considered among the most talented human Spirit Masters, attracting powerful spirit beasts.

The Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate might not be the strongest of the Ten Sacred Domains, but the Gong family was undoubtedly among the most powerful human Spirit Master families!

Those innate teardrop eyes… a symbol of power!

In fact, not just Gong Shuihe, but the other passengers also assumed Gong Lianyue was a member of the Gong family.

Who wouldn’t recognize those teardrop eyes as a mark of the Gong family?

Well, actually, there were two.

The two “villagers” being watched by the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer didn’t think she was from the Gong family. Otherwise, they would have been dealt with already.

Heh, deliberately painting teardrops on her face… She was probably trying to infiltrate the Gong family. Well, they shared a common goal.

[Big Sister, why don’t you join our Pure Water Demon Palace? We can take down the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate together and remove them from the Ten Sacred Domains.]

[Scram.]

The White Flower Moon-Treading Deer’s single word silenced the two legendary beings. Although slightly offended, it had gleaned some valuable information.

This powerful, unnamed legendary being… it was here to cause trouble!

At this moment, Biyufei and the Fallen Heaven Contract were still locked in battle, while Gong Lianyue, facing Gong Shuihe’s question, remained silent.

Could she deny it? Would anyone believe her if she said these teardrop eyes weren’t natural?

After a long, tense silence, Gong Shuihe, growing impatient, finally received a response.

“That… Lady Huan Chanfei isn’t actually going to… kill Biyufei, is she?”

“…”
“…”
“…”

Gong Lianyue, stroking the little deer on her lap, her expression innocent, her teardrop eyes shimmering with worry, her voice soft and delicate, looked like a damsel in distress.

Hearing her question, the surrounding passengers stared at her blankly, and Gong Shuihe’s face contorted in disbelief.

She had actually believed those villagers’ gossip?

Wasn’t she from the Gong family? Did she have no sense of judgment?

Gong Shuihe was speechless. This wasn’t a question a normal person would ask.

It was like someone being insulted online and then frantically checking to see if their horse had actually been run over. Ridiculous!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

Suddenly, a terrifying explosion.

The shockwave sent everyone tumbling, their faces covered in dust.

The Fallen Heaven Contract, although no match for Biyufei, had managed to slip past its defenses, its body transforming into a swirling mist as it charged towards the spirit gate leading to the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate.

Its massive body slammed into the gate, the force of the impact tearing it open, then it passed through.

A few seconds later, the Fallen Heaven Contract’s aura vanished.

Seeing this, not only the tourists visiting the Ten Sacred Domains, but even Biyufei, its face livid, radiated a terrifying aura.

It had been careless! There was more than one enemy!

In that brief moment of distraction, the Fallen Heaven Contract had escaped into the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate!

Without hesitation, the massive conch shrunk, its size decreasing rapidly until it was small enough to fit in one’s palm, then it vanished into the gate, pursuing the Fallen Heaven Contract.

“Wait, how could Biyufei make such a mistake? Something’s not right.”

“Huan Chanfei must have interfered, using her aura to suppress Biyufei. That’s why the Fallen Heaven Contract escaped!”

Seeing Biyufei disappear, the two villagers continued their gossiping, much to Gong Shuihe’s annoyance.

However, worried about the situation in the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate, she had no time to argue with them. And creating a scene would only make the situation worse.

Taking a deep breath, Gong Shuihe composed herself and sat down beside Gong Lianyue.

“Which branch of the Gong family are you from? Are you also here for the annual gathering?”

This blue-haired girl’s aura and demeanor were unlike anyone else in the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate, even surpassing her own, the Cold Pupil Saintess, a powerful presence, a sense of unfathomable depth.

And yet, she wasn’t wearing the Cold Pupil Saintess’s token, indicating she was just an ordinary Gong family Spirit Master.

It couldn’t be the Ice Eye Saintess in disguise. The Ice Eye Saintess’s two teardrop beauty marks were far too distinctive, impossible to miss.

“Um, well, I’m… an orphan… from the First Branch… sent away a long time ago… I was called back for… leftover dinner.”

Gong Lianyue stammered after a moment of thought, a rather… strange answer.

Her response was so bizarre, Gong Shuihe didn’t even know where to begin.

The First Branch? That was the main branch! It sounded like a hastily fabricated excuse.

However, she could understand Gong Lianyue’s… embarrassment.

The Ice Eye Saintess of the First Branch was incredibly powerful, overshadowing all her peers, the strongest Spirit Master in the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate below the Sun and Moon Realm, her combat power unmatched, her spirit beast invincible.

Compared to the Ice Eye Saintess, who wasn’t an insignificant orphan?

And “leftover dinner”… that must refer to the meager resources left over after the Ice Eye Saintess took her share. Those like them, weak and insignificant, could only have the scraps.

Gong Shuihe would never guess that Gong Lianyue had simply misspoken, accidentally saying “leftover dinner” instead of “annual feast.”

“Let’s go together. We’re heading in the same direction. As for that Fallen Heaven Contract… it won’t last long in the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate. Lady Biyufei has probably already dealt with it.”

“Ah, okay…”

Seeing Gong Shuihe’s friendly invitation, Gong Lianyue nodded, slightly dazed.

Someone offering to guide her… how convenient.

Huan Chanfei should be at the Gong family’s main residence.
