As the night sky filled with the countless glowing stars and the bright shining moon, the silhouette of a man in white long brocade clothes could be seen standing at the foot of an enormous volcano.

"What are you doing here?" Wen Guiyang asked the person who was hiding behind their dark red cloak and the shadows of the night.

"Supreme Immortal, it's been a very long time since we last met, I can see that you haven't changed even a single bit. Still cold, tough, and straight forward. Will she like a cold-hearted person like you?" The silhouette in the red cloak asked with a smirk.

Wen Guiyang almost pulled out his sword to slaughter the person who was trying to test his patience especially when he had no control over his soul who was dying to flew to the only person that mattered to it.

"I don't have time to spend answering your unimportant questions. If you don't have anything serious to talk about then I'm taking my leave." Wen Guiyang told the person but before he could disappear from there, the next words of his visitor stopped him.

"She needs you."

The three words ringed repeatedly in his head. His fingers gripped his sword tightly as he tried to control his inner self.

"She already has others taking care of her. I don't think my absence will matter." He finally replied after a few minutes of silence.

The person chuckled at the Supreme Immortal's words. All of Li Ming's mates were trying to avoid her like she was a plague. How accurate!

"Don't you understand? You just mentioned the very reason for which she needs you even when she has others around her, especially since she has others with her," The person said as they finally stopped chuckling.

This made the Immortal to finally turn around and look at the cloaked person with a frown.

The fact that he couldn't see the face of the person also made it impossible to read their expression.

If not for their history, Wen Guiyang would not even have given a second glance to such a skeptical person.

"What are you talking about? You know it very well that I don't like it when you start talking in riddles." Guiyang's tone was cold and a slight edge of irritation could be heard too.

The Supreme Immortal was known throughout the three realms for his high status as the Master of the Guixian Land. He was known as a cold-hearted and tough personality.

It's rumored that no matter what it's impossible to make the Guixian Lord lose his calmness.

But right now, Guiyang was anything but calm. His powers were trying to fight against his control. The same with his mind and soul as they were feeling an intense pain due to the distance that he had created between himself and the other half of his soul, his mate.

But looking at his face, no one could even guess in their worse thoughts that the Guixian Lord was fighting with himself to stay sane.

"And did I ever say that I care about what you like and what don't? I'm not here to impress you. To be honest, you and your Ice Queen, both are probably carved from the same iceberg." The person replied with a scoff and a half shrug.

Guiyang stayed completely silent, waiting for that person to finally get bored of their own nonsense and finally explained about what they were trying to say.

Nothing in his expressions gave away what was he thinking inside his mind. The happy dance that his soul was doing after hearing the last sentence of that person, could not be guessed by looking at his cold expressions.

"Well, I don't have too much time to waste either. Let's get directly to the point. As I said she needs you with her. Though she had the other four and Zhang Yong with her but unfortunately, that's not enough."

"Zhang Yong is already wrapped around her finger. I'm not going to say that he is completely useless but he definitely won't be able to handle her temper."

The person stopped to take a deep breath and then continued, "Ruoshan already has the Demon Realm in his hands and he would rather protect her than be tough on her. Though I have to agree that he has his own way of making her follow his orders."

Guiyang stayed silent but his ears keenly took in every single word spoken by that person.

"Then we have our Moon Deity. Let's be honest, he's the last person who will ever agree with me and my plans. If I even went in front of him in hope of explaining my point, I'm damn sure he would fry me in boiling oil the moment I'll utter my first sentence. He's the most caring and protective of her. He would rather kill everyone and anyone than seeing his mate in pain or any discomfort." The person shuddered at their own words, probably imaging being fried in the Royal kitchen of the Moon Deity.

"There's also the option of the Heaven Emperor and I'm sure he can complete this task without any difficulties. But he already has too many things to take care of. In between all his duties, I don't think he would have enough time to spare."

"The last but definitely not the least, the Second Demon Prince. To tell you the truth, according to me he could have been the perfect option for this task but unfortunately, everything got ruined due to the curse that someone had placed over him. Right now he couldn't even recognize him and his only mission is to get rid of her before she destroyed his brothers and their soul bonds. He's the last person right now, whom I'll choose for such an important task." The person finally stopped talking.

Guiyang was definitely surprised after hearing about the curse and Hei Long's behavior towards Li Ming. But he didn't show anything on his face, neither did he ask her about the curse nor to elaborate about what was happening with the Second Demon Prince and their mate.

There was actually nothing to ask. That person was only trying to rile him up by giving only a little bit of information. If they really wanted to tell him more they would already have.

"So, you are trying to say that whatever your plan is, I'm the perfect person to complete it." It wasn't exactly a question but Guiyang's voice could make anyone shiver under the imaginary cold.

"Actually, I don't have another option left. That's why I have decided that you are the only one now who could do this." The person replied with a scoff.

"What are you planning? What is that thing which according to you, is very important for her?" Guiying asked as he stared at the person, trying to get a hold on their energy.

"All of the others are busy pampering her, making her feel safe, protected, and happy. I know that none of them would think twice before killing for her and nor would they let anyone harm her. But what they are forgetting is that they can only help her in her fight, they can't fight it for her. She needed to be prepared for the coming future and for that she needed someone who would make sure that she's preparing herself."

Guiyang felt his throat dry at the mere mention of her being in any kind of danger.

"She's giving her entire time to the business world that she's trying to establish which is actually a good thing. This world needs some changes and she's playing her part in that change but in all that, she's getting away from the cultivation."

The person sighed and stopped working for a moment, the area became completely silent for a few seconds.

"I know that you will be the perfect person to train her. You won't become a prey to her emotional blackmail nor you will ever forget your goal. You can be that cold-hearted, strict, unmoving, and unforgiving instructor that she needed. But during all this, you will also be that mate who will always make sure that she's been taken care of. That she's not hurt, not mentally exhausted and she has her fair share of normal life. I'm giving you the most important task and placing my trust in you. Now, it's up to you about how you gonna handle this."

That person finally cleared everything and without wasting a single more second disappeared from the foot of the huge volcano.

The Supreme Immortal was left standing there under the night sky as he progressed the words of that person.

A sad smile appeared on his lips as the words of a certain person appeared in his mind.

'You can try to stay away. You can try to avoid the fate and run from your destiny. But no matter which way you will choose, she will be the only one standing at the end of those paths. You can run from your destiny, you can try to avoid it but you can not hide from it.'
