Fade rushed all the way to the mountain forest in the suburbs of Dragonville.

Looking at the viridian forest before him, Fade took a deep breath and whispered to himself, "Quin, no matter what happens, I will bring you back."

After that, Fade plunged into the woods. Soon, he came to a bush, where he'd cultivated the Nine Leaf Ice Flower previously.

After stepping in, Fade placed a simple formation to seal the entrance.

Then, Fade took out the ice lotus seed and the wooden bottle that was filled with the Hallow Ice Spring water.

After finding a suitable spot, Fade dug a small hole in the ground and buried the ice lotus seed. Then he carefully poured the Hallow Ice Spring water into the small hole.

The spring water seeped into the soil and the seeds. The lotus seeds also began to grow at a rate that was visible to the naked eye.

"The Hallow Ice Spring water is effective. According to the current speed, I'll be able to cultivate the Ice Lotus in a week's time." Fade felt slightly excited. He then blasted some positive energy into the lotus seed as he began to carefully cultivate the Ice Lotus.

Just like that, under the nourishment of the Hallow Ice Spring water and Fade's positive energy, the ice lotus seed rapidly sprouted and grew, growing bigger bit by bit.

Just as Fade was cultivating the ice lotus seed here, a few figures wearing Wushuang Tower's uniform walked out from Dragonville's airport, and headed straight to Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc.

Fade, who was in the mountains, was blissfully unaware. He had already devoted himself to the cultivation of the Ice Lotus.

With the passage of time, the Ice Lotus matured day by day. And then, the seventh day had finally arrived.

A beautiful lotus flower had grown out of the small water pit.

The lotus flower was not large, only the size of a fist. However, it was bright in color and brimming with vitality. The entire lotus had an icy blue tinge to it, as if it had been carved from ice.

If one got close to the lotus flower, one could even feel a chill emanating from the flower.

Fade's eyes lit up at the sight of the lotus flower, and a look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face as he muttered to himself, "This Ice Lotus is even better than I had imagined. After consuming this Ice Lotus, my cultivation will be one step closer to breaking through the pinnacle of Heaven Level."

Fade did not waste any time. He plucked the lotus immediately and swallowed it.

The lotus gave off a clear and cold feeling. However, it melted in Fade's mouth and turned into a cold stream. It flowed into Fade's stomach and then turned into a rich stream of positive energy that spread throughout his body.

"It's quite effective. It's time to begin cultivating!" Fade immediately sat in meditation and began cultivating.

After a period of time, when Fade opened his eyes again, a sudden chill emanated from his body. It froze the surrounding vegetation, turning them into powder as they scattered all over the place. As Fade spread out his palm, a breath of positive energy burst out from it.

The energy surged and gradually condensed into the shape of a lotus. The lotus flickered and swayed like a cluster of flame.

"Go!" Fade's gaze focused. He pushed his palm forward and the dark blue lotus flame in his hand instantly flew out, freezing a mouse in its wake.

The agile mouse was flash frozen upon coming in contact with the blue lotus flame.

A few seconds later, Fade sliced through the air with his left arm, and a wave gushed forth, splitting the mouse in half. However, not a drop of blood was spilt.

As he took a closer look, he found that the internal organs of the mouse were covered in a layer of deep blue, as if they were frozen. When he lightly touched them, they crumbled into fine powder, scattering swiftly with the wind.

"Silent but deadly, like fire and ice!" Seeing this, Fade nodded with a smile. "This move is so powerful yet it's hidden. The target seemed to be frozen, but exhibited traits of being burnt to ashes. This will prove extremely effective, be it as a surprise attack or a sneak attack in a desperate situation. It's impossible to guard against."

Fade gave this move a name, "Since this move is mastered by absorbing and refining the Ice Lotus, let it be called the Ice Lotus Flame."

After naming his new move, Fade immediately got up and looked at the time. He found that ten days had passed since he bid farewell to Housekeeper Wong.

"I hadn't expected to stay for so long. It's time to go back. And, Quin, I too..." Fade looked into the distance, his silhouette flickering as he rushed off, leaving afterimages in his wake.

Downtown, back in Dragonville, Fade rushed towards Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc, ready to find Lily.

When he reached the company, Fade saw that the receptionist was still the young girl who didn't recognize him last time. He smiled at her, waved his hand and said, "Is Miss Wei up there?" Fade walked towards the elevator as he spoke.

"Mr. Chen, you... you are back." The beautiful receptionist was surprised to see Fade. When she saw Fade walking into the elevator, she immediately blocked his way and said, "Mr. Chen, no, you can't go upstairs."

Fade was confused for a moment, then he joked, "Why, have you forgotten my face again? Do you want me to show you my ID again?"

The receptionist quickly shook her head. She waved her hand and explained, "I didn't mean that. I, I just-"

"What's the matter? Take your time," Fade said.

The receptionist glanced up and said, "Miss Wei is not upstairs."

"She's not? Then where did she go? Didn't she come to work today? It's rare coming from Lily!" Fade said jokingly.

"It's not that she hasn't been to work. It's just..." the receptionist hesitated for a moment.

Fade was still puzzled when the door of the elevator suddenly opened in front of them. A middle-aged man in his fifties wearing gold-rimmed glasses came out with a smile on his face.

At the sight of this man, Fade's gaze turned icy, because this guy was no other than Ryan. The same Ryan who planned to force Lily to step down and take the position himself. "Why is he here? Didn't he resign?" Fade asked coldly.

The receptionist stuttered, "Mr. Hu, he's back again. Miss Wei has resigned, so..."

"What? She resigned? What happened? I have only been gone for a few days. How did things turn out this way?" Fade was angry and confused.

The receptionist was terrified at how furious Fade looked.
