However it was dissected..
This had escalated into a significant crisis.
No longer could it be remedied by these self-proclaimed nobles.
Indeed, it seemed plausible that the repercussions would extend across the entirety of Jinwei Land.
These dignitaries appeared disconcerted and apprehensive as they hurriedly entered the palace. Their typically composed countenances were now streaked with perspiration.
For the first time, Emperor Jinwei Land witnessed these individuals in such a disheveled and alarmed state. “What transpired?”
“Your Majesty, a grave situation has arisen!”
“The Lady of the Xu family defied the teachings of her upbringing and insisted on cultivating. She even harmed Brother Xu and seized the cultivation beads from him. We aimed to apprehend this woman who had strayed from the sutra and defied the Dao. To our astonishment, after chasing her from the Cangkong Pavilion all the way to the capital, just as we were about to apprehend her, a

“Throughout history, women in Jinwei Land have never practiced cultivation. Now, with the sanctuary provided by this pagoda, I fear numerous individuals who have deviated from the sutra and the Dao will embark on the path of cultivation. In such an event, Jinwei Land is bound to descend into chaos.”
“They claim it to be the will of the heavens, but…
As they discussed the will of the heavens, they had witnessed it firsthand and tacitly acknowledged it. Yet, this predicament concerned Jinwei Land, and while they acknowledged it privately, they dared not make any rash decisions. Only the emperor had the authority to address this matter.
Emperor Jinwei Land found himself taken aback by the unexpected turn of events.
His countenance reflected the gravity of the situation.
Jinwei Land had adhered to its established traditions for countless centuries. These were the regulations governing the land.
During his reign, Emperor Jinwei Land had not harbored any intentions of altering these deep-rooted customs.
Yet now…
Chaos loomed on the horizon.
“Summon Xu Yuanlong immediately. I wish to conduct a thorough inquiry,” Emperor Jinwei Land instructed with evident displeasure.
“Yes, Your Majesty,” an attendant promptly conveyed the message to Xu
Yuanlong.
The others present dared not make a sound.
Meanwhile, at the Xu family’s residence, a state of turmoil had erupted.
Xu Yuanlong had initially intended to dispatch someone to retrieve Xu Xunnan, but she had eluded them, instead venturing to the Cangkong Pavilion to create a spectacle.
The situation had spiraled out of control.
Xu Yongnian had since returned, exacerbating the turmoil following the incidents at the Cangkong Pavilion.
Xu Yuanlong felt an overwhelming sense of despair.
“Cwith me,” he said to Xu Yongnian, leading her in search of Xu Xunnan.

Meanwhile, the capital teemed with an unending flow of people, both men and women.
Ordinarily, women were a rare sight on the streets. Today, however, their presence couldn’t be contained. They had all poured out, converging on the pagoda.
Xu Yuanlong heaved a deep sigh. “A major incident has occurred.”
Indeed, a significant event had unfolded.
Under the pagoda, Xu Xunnan had sought refuge.
He called out to her, “Xu Xunnan, descend and accompanyto the palace for an apology.”
“I’m still your father, and you must heed me!” Xu Yuanlong implored.
Xu Xunnan peered down at Xu Yuanlong.
She understood.
Her father meant well, just like everyone else. He only wished for her safety and well-being, not her demise. This very understanding compelled her not to reveal her comprehension of his intentions.
“Impossible! Xu Yuanlong, you seized my cultivation bead. I have yet to settle that score with your Xu family. Your family even attempted to harm my life. This alone renders a return to the Xu family inconceivable..”
