“Haha, with Lord Leo here, how could I dare to speak recklessly,” Mike said with a laugh, stroking his beard.
Leo responded, “Ms. Wright, rest assured. What Elder Mike has mentioned are indeed the generous terms Starfall Shop offers to major Spirit Herb suppliers.”
In reality, the biggest beneficiary was Leo. Using the Mystical Sky Bagua-Patterned Alchemical Furnace, he could successfully refine at least four pills from five sets of raw materials. Giving one to Falling Blossom Palace and keeping three for himself was a profitable deal.
“I must say, Lord Leo, your terms are very sincere. I am quite tempted. May I see the contract for your Spirit Herb suppliers?” Gracie asked directly.
Leo nodded and waved his right hand, sending a Spirit Scroll flying towards Gracie.
Gracie examined it with great interest.
In the harmonious atmosphere that followed, both parties discussed details for an hour and finally reached a consensus on their cooperation.
Gracie, Willow, and several elders personally escorted Leo and Mike out of the main hall.
Outside the hall, Gracie looked at Leo and said solemnly, “In three days, I will personally go to Clearwind Town to sign the Spirit Herb supplier contract with you.”
“I will be waiting for you in Clearwind Town,” Leo nodded.
Gracie smiled slightly and added, “Lord Leo, since this is your first visit to Falling Blossom Palace, would you like to see our Spirit Field?”
“Let’s take a look then. However, Ms. Wright, Ms. Green, and the elders need not accompany us. Just find a disciple to guide us,” Leo said after some thought.
Gracie nodded and her gaze fell on a beautiful female disciple outside the hall. “Chloe, accompany Lord Leo and Elder Mike to tour our Spirit Field. If Lord Leo has any requests, try to fulfill them.”
“Yes, Ms. Wright,” the disciple named Chloe responded respectfully.
“Lord Leo, Elder Mike, please follow me,” Chloe said to Leo and Mike.
The two followed Chloe around Sunset Peak.
Leo’s presence attracted the attention of many young female disciples of Falling Blossom Palace.
“Is he the new lord of Clearwind Town?”
“I thought he would be an old man, but he’s so young.”
“I heard he killed four Spirit Saint elders of Bloodsoul Sect outside Clearwind Town’s north gate…”
Chloe also heard her fellow disciples’ discussions and smiled. “Lord Leo, please don’t mind them. Your reputation precedes you, and my fellow disciples are very curious about you.”
Leo smiled indifferently, not paying much attention.
“Miss Chloe, may I ask where Seraphina is? I would like to see her,” Leo asked after a moment of hesitation.
“Seraphina?” Chloe was slightly stunned.
She then understood why Lord Leo seemed distracted when she introduced the Spirit Field. It turned out he wanted to see Seraphina rather than the field itself.
Seraphina was exceptionally talented and extremely beautiful, admired by many cultivators. Chloe was well aware of this.
It seemed that Lord Leo was also captivated by Seraphina.
“Lord Leo, Seraphina has been cultivating at Moon Viewing Platform recently. However, she is aloof and may not meet strangers…” Chloe said directly.
“Take me to Moon Viewing Platform. She’d like to see me,” Leo said with a meaningful smile.
Chloe hesitated. Although Ms. Wright had said to fulfill Lord Leo’s requests as much as possible, meeting Seraphina…
“I know Seraphina,” Leo stated plainly.
“You know Seraphina?” Chloe was surprised. “Alright then, Lord Leo, follow me. If Seraphina refuses to see you, please don’t blame me.”
Chloe led them along a stone path towards Moon Viewing Platform.
As they walked, Chloe explained, “Lord Leo, Moon Viewing Platform is at the highest point of Sunset Peak. It overlooks the entire peak and is where Seraphina usually cultivates. Apart from the two palace masters, few outsiders come here.”
At this moment, Moon Viewing Platform was shrouded in light mist.
A figure in a white dress was dancing with a sword. Her hair was like ink, her veil light as mist, and her aura like an ethereal fairy descended to the mortal world.
As she swung her long sword, clear blue sword light rippled through the air.
Wherever the sword light passed, even distant white clouds were split apart before quickly gathering again.
Watching this sword dance from afar was truly a marvelous sight.
As they approached Moon Viewing Platform, Chloe stopped and turned to speak. “Lord Leo, Seraphina is practicing her sword dance. Please wait here while I inform her.”
With that, Chloe lightly tapped her toes and swiftly ascended Moon Viewing Platform.
“Chloe, what is it?” The figure in white sheathed her sword, her voice ethereal and distant.
Sensing the aura emanating from the figure in white, Chloe thought to herself: Since returning from Azure Dragon Mountains last time, Seraphina seems even colder.
“Seraphina, Clearwind Town’s new lord Leo Bloomer requests to see you,” Chloe said respectfully.
“Leo?” At this name, a strange light appeared in Seraphina’s clear eyes.
That detestable guy actually dared to come!
Seraphina’s expression made Chloe realize that Leo hadn’t lied; they indeed knew each other.
“I won’t see him!” Seraphina said coldly through gritted teeth.
“Alright, I’ll inform Lord Leo,” Chloe said, sensing something off about Seraphina’s emotions but not daring to ask further questions.
Just as Chloe turned to leave Moon Viewing Platform, a figure in white already appeared three meters away from them on the platform.
Mike followed closely behind Leo.
“Lord Leo, you…” Chloe was slightly startled.
Leo ignored Chloe entirely and focused his gaze on Seraphina.
Meeting Leo’s gaze, Seraphina’s eyes flickered and her body trembled slightly.
Standing beside Seraphina, Chloe could clearly feel Seraphina’s grip on Skywater Blade tighten instinctively.
This situation puzzled and surprised Chloe greatly.
Seraphina’s mind was usually serene.
Chloe had never seen Seraphina react this way in front of a man before.
“Two months without seeing me-don’t you miss me at all?” Leo broke the silence with a teasing tone as he touched his nose.
Leo’s words made Chloe widen her eyes in shock.
Lord Leo was incredibly bold to openly tease Seraphina like this.
