“The Envine? Violet?” Gwen’s eyes flickered with a sudden light. Almost immediately, a saying that ran like wildfire through Astria’s martial world popped into her mind.

“Twin Stars of Highcliffe and the Three Brilliants, Four Beauties.” It referred to Ethan and Daphne, the Twin Stars of Highcliffe. Then there were the three young talents–Kian, Theo, and another–and the four young beauties led by Claire.

But what hardly anyone knew was that the saying didn’t end there. There was a second part. “Violet Lund of Envine and Harmony Hadley of Lingster Sect.”

Among Astria’s younger generation, the public spotlight fell on the nine led by Ethan, Daphne, and Claire. But in reality, two more existed, their power immeasurable. They rivaled the older generation’s masters and drifted outside the usual circles, almost

invisible.

One of them was the heir of Envine, living high in the Golden Summit, rarely touching the mortal world. The other was a secular disciple of the Ancient Lingster Sect, quietly honing himself in the sect, barely stepping into the wider martial world. That was why his name carried little fame.

Yet those two were truly the ones who dominated Astria’s young martial scene. Gwen knew that better than anyone.

The young woman had walked alongside Claire, the Silvermoon Sect’s sword prodigy. Claire had even mentioned Envine and the young woman’s name–Violet. Her identity was almost impossible to miss.

“Envine, Violet Lund?” Gwen’s gaze shivered. She had never expected that Envine’s rare, once–in–a–generation heir would show up at Ravenridge for the martial auction hosted by the Lowells.

Envine’s Violet is here. Does that mean Lingster Sect’s Harmony will show up too?

At that thought, she scanned the room. She wanted to see if the future of Lingster Sect, the prodigy hailed as the greatest in a hundred years since Master Branson, had also arrived.

Claire and Violet moved side by side. Both carried ancient swords, dazzling everyone with their presence. Their beauty and bearing drew all eyes in an instant, making them the center of attention in the hall.

No one in the hall stepped forward to talk to them. The seasoned powerhouses who had come for the auction had already taken their seats inside. The ones lingering in the lobby were mostly the younger generation from the various martial sects. They carried themselves with pride, but they were not delusional. When it came to prodigies like Claire and Violet, they knew better than to walk up and embarrass themselves.

The two women did not sit down. They remained standing beside the ornamental rock formation in the hall.

Violet lifted her beautiful eyes slightly and smiled at Claire. “Envine may keep a low profile in Astria’s martial world, but a sect is still a sect. It can never step outside the circle of the martial world. This auction, hosted by Ebon Sect’s the Lowells, has something that even my master found intriguing. She instructed me to bring Envine’s treasured artifact and attend the auction in advance.”

Her voice flowed like clear water, light and ethereal, almost untouched by the dust of the mortal world. She spoke openly and without restraint. There was nothing guarded about her tone. Claire could not help but admire her.

Claire paused for a moment before replying. “If even Envine has been drawn here, then this auction must be hiding something extraordinary. Do you know which item she has her eye on?”

Violet stood tall in her plain dress tied with a blue sash. At the question, she gave a slight shake of her head. “I do not know the

exact item. She only told me that if I see any King Phase senior placing a bid, I should follow.”

“King Phase?” Claire’s eyes sharpened, and a ripple of shock stirred in her chest.

For a long time, she had speculated about Lingster Sect and Envine, these ancient sects that had endured for hundreds, even thousands of years. She had believed that most of the Supreme Grandmasters of the present age were likely hidden within these old factions. It had only been a theory. But after hearing Violet mention King Phase, her doubts vanished.

Five hundred years ago, Lingster Sect and Envine had stood at the very top of Astria’s martial world. They had been revered as its twin sacred strongholds, legendary places where true masters gathered and extraordinary talents quietly thrived behind closed doors.

Claire knew Violet had always spoken plainly and never hoarded information. She did not press further. Instead, she shifted the topic, curiosity flickering in her eyes. “Violet, among Astria’s martial world younger generation, you and Harmony stand at the forefront. Now that you are here, will Lingster Sect’s Harmony also be attending?”

Violet’s gaze was cold and bright like winter stars. “Harmony is Lingster Sect’s most promising successor after Master Branson. He s the one most likely to step into King Phase. Before I left Envine and descended the mountain, I heard he had also departed Lingster Sect. But his purpose this time is to enter the secular world for cultivation and return to the outside world. He should not be coming here.”

Claire’s brows drew together slightly. “The way you say that, it sounds like you have already met him.”

Violet did not hesitate. She nodded at once.

Claire’s gaze shifted, sharpening as she pressed, “This Lingster Sect’s Harmony… is he really what the rumors say? Has he truly cultivated the indestructible body of the Awakened Way, almost reaching the level Master Branson once did?”

The moment the question left her lips, Violet’s eyes flared with sudden light. It was the kind of brightness that only appeared when someone had witnessed something extraordinary.

Violet kept her eyes forward. There was longing in them, but even more admiration. “I don’t know whether Harmony has reached the indestructible body of the Awakened Way,” she said quietly. “But I can say this with absolute certainty. Out of everyone I’ve met o far, he’s the most gifted. The most brilliant. I honestly can’t imagine there’s another person alive who loves life the way he does, or who pursues power with that kind of relentless hunger.”

Claire’s beautiful eyes trembled.

She had known Violet since they were children. Their paths had split later on. Violet went to Envine while she entered the Silvermoon Sect.

Because they had grown up together, Claire understood her better than most. Violet was not someone who praised lightly. If she spoke of a man like this, then the so called future pillar of Lingster Sect was no ordinary talent. He was a once in a generation prodigy–the undisputed crown of the younger generation.

Violet seemed to drift into memory, as if replaying the moment she first met Lingster Sect’s Harmony. After a brief silence, she spoke again, her voice softer now. “This time, when I left the mountain, I came under my master’s orders to attend the Eton Sect auction. But that’s not the only reason.”

Claire caught the firmness in her tone. She turned sharply, startled. “You mean

Violet nodded without hesitation. “That’s right. This trip down the mountain isn’t just about the auction I’m also here to choose a life partner.”

Claire froze where she stood. Her expression went utterly still.
