In fact, the one who was truly bound by the family rules between Calder and the Great Clan Elder, Pierre, was actually Pierre himself.

Audrey had won the top 50-position in the family competition, but Pierre's Great Clan Elder did not follow the rules. Instead, he insisted that Audrey get married.

​​

This matter was in essence, against the rules.

Elder Pierre hated Calder to the core.

If Calder's wife had not helped Calder a few years ago, he would not be so lucky today.

People who practiced combat aura would maintain their youthful and beautiful looks for a long time.

But who knew that the current Grand Elder, Pierre, was actually the youngest elder in the Davis family?

He was only forty years old this year.

Forty years old.

"So? What do you want, Calder? Audrey is already in the domain. Even if you kill me now, Audrey won't come out --" The Grand Elder, Pierre, looked at Calder maliciously, "And if you kill me, Audrey really won't come back."

Calder finally put down the sword in his hand.

He looked at Pierre calmly and asked, "Pierre, do you know why I won the previous patriarch election and not you? Because your heart is too dirty."

...

Audrey quietly walked forward for a while. More and more flowers fell, and the fragrance became stronger.

This was not a good sign.

In the unknown situation, if she did not understand her situation as soon as possible, Audrey was worried that she would die in this place without understanding anything.

She sat down on the spot, closed her eyes, and began to sense the elements in the air.

The spirit gathering array had not been used for a long time. Anyway, it was temporarily safe here.

Audrey wanted to check the level of her body's cultivation.

When the elements came into contact with Audrey, they seemed to speak suddenly. They kept chattering and jumping around Audrey's body. She absorbed the elements on the spot for a while. When she found that the elements in her body had reached a certain concentration, they stopped flowing.

Audrey frowned. This was absolutely something that should not have happened.

She remembered that such a thing had never happened in the spirit gathering array before. So why did such a thing suddenly happen in a place where the concentration of the domain was not even comparable to the spirit gathering array?

Audrey did not dare to be careless.

She condensed some magic and circulated it in her blood vessels. Soon, she discovered that something was wrong with her body.

There was a tiny gap in the meridians near her heart.

It was a very, very small gap, but it was extremely fatal.

This gap caused a large number of elements to travel to this place and then quickly dissipate.

This was the reason why Audrey, who was in her original form, had not improved despite working so hard.

It was not because she was not talented, but because someone had tampered with Audrey's body.

It had not been discovered before because Audrey had condensed magic and combat aura to cultivate.

The control of magic did not need to flow through her meridians, thus protecting a portion of her combat aura from being lost. This was how Audrey was able to successfully breakthrough to level-10 in a short period of time.

But what if the other portion of her combat aura had not been lost?

Then, the results that Audrey had achieved today would definitely be more impressive than what she had achieved now.

Perhaps she had already broken through level-15, or even level-20.

Audrey slowly opened her eyes, her expression grave.

Who had tampered with Audrey's body? Could it be that group of people from the Davis family?

However, they did not know what kind of constitution Audrey had.

One petal after another fell on Audrey's body.

In any case, she could not absorb any more. The gap filled by magic could only be maintained for a period of time.

Audrey sighed and mobilized her magic to reinforce the gap.

During this period of time, she had to find another way to fill the gap.

She gently swept the petals all over her body, only to discover that there was a line of words written on the petals --

"Save me."

"I'm in a cave at the end of the fog. Please save me."
