2203 Solution! In the past, Luo Lan had revered and put her faith in the celestial being on Snow Celestial Mountain. As the First Princess of the Iron Hammer Federation, she had stuck close to the tradition of worshipping Snow Celestial Mountain’s celestial being. But as strong as her faith had been, she became just as disappointed and angry when her father died, and the Iron Hammer Federation fell to ruin. All of her disappointment and rage soon morphed into hatred and disrespect. Furthermore, when her previous faith had plummeted to the lowest depths, she found a new belief in the Astronomical Parliament. Thus, the Luo Lan of today was no longer afraid of angering Snow Celestial Mountain’s celestial being. Rather, she hoped that Lin Yuan could get rid of the legend once and for all. As a member of the Iron Hammer Federation’s royal family, Luo Lan only placed her faith in and respected whatever could protect her and the entire Iron Hammer Federation, not a celestial being that basked in being worshipped but did not lift a single finger when it was needed. Luo Lan closed the booklet and handed it back to Ni Xing as she said, “Ni Xing, I was willing to leave the task in your hands because I trust you. I hope you understand this. No matter the reason, you should do your best after receiving an order from me. I hope you won’t disappoint me again next time!” Ni Xing froze, and her body slumped. Through their interactions, Ni Xing knew what kind of person Luo Lan was and what character she had. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮 Once Luo Lan felt that she was incompetent and lacked effort when performing her assignments, she would soon be eliminated as one of Luo Lan’s close aides. She had been picked to be one of Luo Lan’s close aides because of Sha Sha and Qi Si. Qi Si had been negligent when carrying out an order from Luo Lan. As a result, she had not only failed to become one of Luo Lan’s close aides but had been kicked out of the six-person group completely. Ni Xing was terrified that she would end up with the same fate. However, she did not think that she had done anything wrong or been negligent in any way. Could it be that Luo Lan had gleaned something from the information in the booklet? While Ni Xing was thinking, Luo Lan said, “Go to the treasure vault and take out two high-grade strange flames that are stored within the Spirit Crystal Gold. The observers will need them to keep warm!” Luo Lan stood up from the stone bench and elegantly brushed her skirt off before walking off in the direction of her bedroom. She was going to inform Lin Yuan of the temperature abnormality surrounding Snow Celestial Mountain. After Luo Lan left, Ni Xing could not help but place a hand over her heart. All she could hear was the rapid beating of that organ hidden deep in her chest. Her heart rate had to have reached 140 beats per minute, at least. Luo Lan had only given her instructions but said nothing else. This meant that Luo Lan had no intention of punishing her for this failure. But if such a thing happened again, she could not say for sure what the consequence would be. While Ni Xing was studying the booklet, Sha Sha leaned her head over. Ni Xing could not help but sigh. “These people who recorded the information are horrible! They write over 1,000 words of content for each hour so that it turns more into a report! How am I supposed to wade through all this to grasp the key points? The fights between the Platinum tribes have captured all of my attention of late.” While Sha Sha was reading the booklet, she managed to pick up what the issue was. She sighed deeply. The issue that Ni XIng had missed was by no means small! “Ni Xing, you should be glad that you’ve been focused on the reports coming in from the Platinum tribes. Otherwise, Her Majesty would never have forgiven you so easily for such a huge mistake! “Quickly, go and fetch the two strange flames! We have redirected our faith. The fight that is about to ensue might lead to a new legend for this era of the Iron Hammer Federation! “You, me, and the rest of the citizens of the Iron Hammer Federation will be witnesses to the creation of this new legend.” Ni Xing was from an elite family and had received the best education. Thus, she had always been proud. But at the same time, she always knew that Sha Sha had better foresight and was more capable of looking at the larger picture. This was why Ni Xing was willing to listen to her despite her prideful disposition. A thought suddenly came to Ni Xing’s mind, and her breath hitched. Next, she asked the question that she most wanted to know the answer to, “Sister Sha Sha, when I returned, I saw that you were much more relieved. Has Her Majesty come up with a solution?” Sha Sha had no immediate reply to Ni Xing’s question because Luo Lan had not outlined a clear solution. All that Sha Sha had now were guesses. Hence she could only reply hesitantly to Ni Xing, “Do you remember the person who stood next to Her Majesty during that period of starvation? The one who killed the sinner with one casual attack?” Sha Sha felt that with Ni Xing’s comprehension skill, she would be able to read between the lines of what she was saying. Ni Xing’s expression changed drastically when she heard what Sha Sha said. Eventually, her expression morphed into a mixture of 1/5 delight, 1/5 hope, and 3/5 surprise. This was such a radiant expression that Sha Sha could not help but avert her gaze. Ni Xing remembered Luo Lan’s order and rushed off from the Absolute Cold Garden. Sha Sha thought back to the changes to Ni Xing’s expression as well as that flash of crimson. She instantly realized what was running through Ni Xing’s mind. The young man who stood next to Luo Lan had been outstanding and a beacon of hope. He had saved them all and provided them with new life while they were wilting away from despair and starvation. All of the girls in the Iron Hammer Federation who were of age felt at least slightly the same way that Ni Xing did. Even Sha Sha could not say that she was the exception. But Sha Sha felt that she was better than Ni Xing at controlling her emotions. By the time Lin Yuan received the news from Luo Lan, he was only an hour away from the Freezing Hammer Tribe. In his previous life, he had lived in the north when he was a child, but his parents had relocated to Hangzhou before he was even ten years old. He had an impression of what a landscape of ice and snow looked like, but the image was not vivid. In this life, he had been born in the Xia Region’s Redbud City, which was in a warm climate close to the sea. Not a single snowflake fell in Redbud City the entire year. Thus, Lin Yuan still felt fascinated when he saw snow, bringing him back to the early childhood days of his previous life. Lin Yuan felt a burst of sentiment. On the Thoughts Letter Paper, he wrote back to Luo Lan with his estimated time of arrival. Lin Yuan turned to look behind Blackie, at the stones bare of snow and could not help but gasp.
