Chapter 1875 A Potential Trap

"Have you heard? Some madman has been waging war against the Nine Immortal Clans. I can't even begin to imagine what kind of grudge he must hold to go this far," Elder Jing remarked, her tone laced with curiosity and disbelief as she addressed the stunning woman before her within the Immortal Monastery.

"With everyone and their mother talking about it, it'd be a miracle not to know by now," Elder Sun replied in a tone of utter disinterest, as if the chaos shaking the Nine Immortal Clans was nothing more than idle gossip unworthy of her concern.

Elder Jing fell silent, her gaze lingering on Elder Sun's face—once radiant, now clouded with an unspoken gloom. The reason behind her unhappiness was evident, yet Elder Jing dared not voice it, fearing that even the slightest mention might deepen the shadows in her companion's heart.

Meanwhile, Ren Xia found herself back at the Immortal Sword Clan after being called back by her parents.

Inside a quiet room, facing her parents, Ren Xia spoke, "If you're worried about my safety, I would have been far safer at the Celestial Sword Sect than here."

However, her father merely sneered, as if he found her concern amusing. "That madman may be attacking the Nine Immortal Clans, but most of his victims belong to the Immortal Gu Clan. Our Immortal Sword Clan has yet to suffer any casualties, which means there's a good chance we're not his target."

Ren Xia's eyes widened in surprise.

"What? We haven't been attacked?"

When she had chosen to help Tian Yang, she did so fully aware that it would bring harm to her own family—something she had already come to terms with.

Patriarch Ren shook his head and said, "To begin with, this whole thing started with Gu Lim. Our Immortal Sword Clan has done nothing to offend him."

"That's…"

Although Ren Xia didn't fully understand the depth or reason behind Tian Yang's hatred for the Nine Immortal Clans, she had a feeling it stemmed from more than just Gu Lim. Even so, she chose to stay silent, knowing some things were better left unsaid.

"Even if that madman attacked us, I'm confident you're strong enough to handle it alone," her mother added.

After a brief pause, her father continued, "Anyway, the real reason we called you back today is to see whether you have come to a decision regarding your next partner."

"It hasn't been that long since you last asked me…" Ren Xia said.

"No, but a lot has happened, and we can no longer wait for you. If you don't have a decision by the time you leave this room, we will make the decision for you."

Ren Xia clenched her fists in frustration. Despite her brilliance and countless achievements, she knew that none of it would ever be enough to free her from the fate of being a mere pawn in a political marriage.

After a moment of silence, she said, "Do as you wish. Now that I think about it, it doesn't matter who I marry since I won't have feelings for any of them." _{freewebnøvel.com}
