「Linjiang City, Qiao Mansion.」
In a quiet study, Qiao Zhiyao stood silently, her gaze fixed on the middle-aged man seated at the desk.
That was her father, Qiao Tongyu, one of the current leaders of the Qiao Clan.
Qiao Tongyu held a letter made of special paper, his brow slightly furrowed before slowly relaxing. He looked up at his daughter, whose eyes held a faint, almost imperceptible trace of nervousness and anticipation, and handed the letter to her.
"Grandmaster Yue... has replied." Qiao Tongyu's voice was steady, betraying little emotion. "See for yourself."
Qiao Zhiyao took a deep breath, stepped forward, and accepted the letter with both hands.
The moment her fingertips touched the paper, she could feel a lingering aura—exceedingly faint, yet rich and searing.
It was the unique signature of Grandmaster Yue Lianshan; it could not be faked.
According to the family elders, Qiao Zhiyao's constitution was best suited for practicing the Hundred Refinements Melting Furnace.
