Chapter 581: Do You Know My Heart?
Ye Wenxin remained blissfully unaware of her fate, as Wen Susu was unable to reveal too much to alter destiny's course. Thus, Ye Wenxin wandered happily through the crowd at the banquet, sampling food and observing the many new faces around her.
The Ten Dynasties formed a third power balance on the continent, alongside the Ten Great Immortal Sects and the Ten Great Demon Sects. This triumvirate maintained a delicate equilibrium.
Long Qingyue controlled the First Dynasty, Demon Lord Gu Qingcheng held absolute authority among the demons, and on the righteous side, Fairy Fengya wielded significant influence.
Even though Fairy Fengya might not realize it, when people think of the Immortal Sects, they immediately think of her, not any sect leader or elder.
Ye Wenxin's escape disrupted this balance. Liu Churan was the first to destabilize the order among the demon sects. Simultaneously, Long Qingyue, feeling her power threatened, began annexing territories to bolster the Shengshi Dynasty.
As for the Immortal Sects, they became the weakest link. Even though Long Qingyue and Liu Churan showed no immediate interest, their growing influence would eventually encroach on this domain. However, with Fairy Fengya at the helm, there shouldn't be any major issues.
Ye Wenxin habitually shifted responsibility to Fairy Fengya, but thoughts of her friends at the Cang Yu Sect, the senior sister at the Beast Garden, and Xi Mengxuan tugged at her heart. Realizing that her sect had finally become one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, she found it difficult to let go.
Once emotions took root, Ye Wenxin struggled to release them. She noticed that perhaps her recent encounters with kind-hearted individuals had softened her. She fell silent, contemplating stepping forward if Liu Churan and Long Qingyue ever truly targeted the Immortal Sects.
As she stood there sighing, the older cat approached with a graceful stride and a feline smile, looking genuinely pleased.
"Come, Lord Wenxin, let me introduce you to the envoys from various countries. It will benefit the future development of your Wenxin Guild," the older cat said warmly, making Ye Wenxin feel well cared for. She nodded, following the cat around to familiarize herself with the unfamiliar faces.
Just as Jin Xiaoqin understood the temperaments and secrets of individuals from various Immortal Sects, the older cat knew the strengths and weaknesses of the people within the dynasties.
"You've truly given a lot for the Hundred Flowers Dynasty," Ye Wenxin remarked, moved by all she learned, though she was most curious about the relationship between the older cat and the Flower Master.
From what she'd observed, the older cat seemed more regal, while the Flower Master, though attractive, was too rough for a girl and seemed indifferent to the dynasty's progress, giving Ye Wenxin the impression that the older cat was the real Flower Master.
However, this thought was fleeting.
Though the continent was open-minded, discrimination against races persisted, let alone a beast becoming a leader.
The older cat paused, seemingly recalling something, and replied, "Indeed, this is my home. No matter what, I belong to the Hundred Flowers Dynasty."
