"Still, don't lose heart. That person may have left, but her younger sister—my friend—is still here. Go and consult her, and you should get some of the answers you're looking for!" Here Lin Dongfang suddenly sighed. "Originally, I had planned never to contact her again in this lifetime... but for your sake, it seems some things still must be faced!"
"Old man, what are you talking about?" Wei Zhao was baffled by Lin Dongfang's words, unable to make sense of what he meant.
"Nothing." Old Man Wei shook his head. "Go. When you see her, tell her you are my descendant. I believe she won't make things difficult for you, and will help you resolve your doubts!"
"Who exactly is she? Where am I supposed to go?" Wei Zhao was completely thrown by the old man's words. After all this talk, he still had no idea whom Lin Dongfang meant.
"The Ice Palace. Her name is Xiaoqing," Lin Dongfang said slowly.
"The Ice Palace? Aunt Qing?" Wei Zhao froze, the name slipping out before he could stop it. The Ice Palace had someone named Xiaoqing—if not Aunt Qing, then who else could it be?
"Yes. Though by rights, she belongs to your grandmother's generation," Lin Dongfang said. "But do not let anyone else know of my affairs. Speak with her in private, and do not tell her where I am now—say only that you don't know, that I must have left with your master."
"Understood, I know." Wei Zhao did not press for the reason. Since Lin Dongfang said to speak in private, he would speak in private. As for Lin Dongfang's current whereabouts, it was likely that his circumstances were special and he could not leave West Star Mountain Village, and did not want others to know too much.
So Wei Zhao agreed without hesitation.
"Good luck to you!" With that, Lin Dongfang hung up.
For his part, Wei Zhao did not hesitate in the slightest. Since Lin Dongfang had said there might be a solution with Aunt Qing at the Ice Palace, he would naturally set off for the Ice Palace at once.
His plan had been to first go to the Hakunamata Desert to seek out the Paoli clan, but plans never keep pace with change. Lin Dongfang had said there was no danger to Wang Xinyan's life within a year, but how could Wei Zhao take such a risk?
If, by any chance, there was no solution with Aunt Qing at the Ice Palace, Wei Zhao would naturally have to think of other ways. So everything would have to wait until he returned from the Ice Palace!
With that in mind, Wei Zhao recounted Old Man Wei's words to Shen Yushu. Shen Yushu raised no objection at all, only urging him to be careful on the road.
"It'll be fine. This isn't my first trip to the Ice Palace—I know the way well," Wei Zhao said with a smile.
That night, Wei Zhao bound Wang Xinyan to his own body with rope, then mounted the Wind-Thunder Purple Lightning Beast and raced off in the direction of the Ice Palace...
