"Yes, it is a Mist Spirit Pool," Bai Xueqin confirmed, her gaze steady on him. Then she tilted her head toward Guan Long. "And it was first discovered by the Treasure Pavilion."
That single glance explained everything.
Guan Long stroked his beard and nodded, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness. "It's true. My Treasure Pavilion's men were the ones who found it first. By rights, the Mist Spirit Pool should belong to us. Unfortunately, the pool lies at the exact junction between Azure Wind City and Water Cloud City. At first, we hoped to keep the discovery quiet and send people to cultivate there in secret. But before long, the City Lord of Water Cloud City caught wind of it. His men arrived quickly at the site, and… that's when the trouble began."
A faint sigh escaped him. Even the Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion looked troubled.
