"Are you the Elf Queen?"

Arwen looked at that stranger, furrowed her eyebrows and said: "Who are you? Why are you trespassing and invading my property?"

"... Are you the Elf Queen or not?" Lan Xue didn\'t reply to those questions, she just repeated her earlier phrase, with her normal cold attitude.

Arwen was not enjoying the way that loli was acting and taking with her, but she decided to at least say who she really was.

"I\'m the Elf Queen and you\'re inside my territory. If you don\'t give me a good explanation, then, you won\'t..."

"Where is Seth?"

Suddenly, while the Elf Queen was still talking, Lan Xue started asking about Seth.

"Where is he? I need to talk with him, I need to see him now." Lan Xue sounded anxious and even a bit desperate; she kept asking about Seth, anxious for a quick reply.

Arwen really disliked the way that woman was acting. It was like only her point of view mattered and nothing else; however, if she knew about Lan Xue\'s circumstances, she would kind of understand why she was behaving like that.

The fact that she mentioned Seth\'s name, already made Arwen act with a little bit less hostility against her, but still, the Elf Queen didn\'t feel like acting friendly or positively with an invader.

"I don\'t know where he is, but even if I knew it, I wouldn\'t tell someone that is not trustworthy enough to know. You better leave now that I don\'t feel like acting against you, or else, things won\'t finish just with a warning."

Arwen firmly said and Lan Xue didn\'t like hearing those words. She was desperate for an answer and her mind was in a mess. Suddenly, her aura increased exponentially and her loli figure instantly seemed to get more imposing. She ignored the fact that the Elf Queen was a small stage above her in terms of cultivation and decided she would fight against her anyway.

"Then, I will make you spit it out by force."

​ Her ice aura quickly converged in a single point above her, forming a huge iceberg that was pointed towards Arwen.

"Let\'s see if you are really capable of doing that." Arwen\'s Evergreen Essence circled around her body and a poisonous mist started rotating around that area, kind of forming a tempest that circled her entire being.

Things were heating up and advancing very quickly between the two of them. But just as they took a step forward, a dark shadow impacted on the soil right in between them, bringing down an aura that both of them recognized.

"Stop!"

Seth\'s voice echoed, reaching the ears of those two headstrong women.

At the point where that dark shadow impacted, Seth and Elyra\'s figure appeared, making the conflict between Arwen and Lan Xue come to a stop.

It turned out, that when he and Elyra were approaching the Allakiir Mansion, they were able to feel powerful energy fluctuations coming from where Arwen\'s new house was located. Elyra was only able to recognize one of the auras; the one that belonged to the Elf Queen. But Seth recognized both, and that was one of the motives that made him rush to that scene.

"The both of you, stop! There is no need for this. This is a misunderstanding. Arwen, she is a good friend of mine and she represents no danger."

Seth first explained things for Arwen, making her get at ease. Then, he turned towards Lan Xue, but before he could say anything, she came towards him while spitting out some words.

"Seth, this is an emergency! I..."

"Lan Xue, calm down. We\'re out here in the open. Let\'s first go inside so we can talk." He put his hands on her shoulders, reassuring her that he would hear everything she had to say.

Lan Xue was kind of out of her patient and chilling character, but hearing his words, made her realize how differently she was acting. However, during these past few days, there has been so much going through her head, that she had left from her linear form of living.

But now, she somehow was able to calm down a bit and nod. She didn\'t know from where that sudden sense of tranquility came, but it was like she had a bit of peace on her complicated days. The fact that he was touching her wasn\'t even a bother to her anymore, after spending so much time by his side. Actually, she was even starting to think that his presence near her, was what was calming her down.

"Come, since this is an emergency, let\'s go in quickly." Seth guided Lan Xue towards the house, deactivating the protective formations while they were going. He glanced towards the Elf Queen and in a single instant Arwen understood that things were serious.

Somehow, after living beside Lan Xue for so long, Seth knew how to read her mood and the way she was acting was making him feel anxious as well.

Arwen and Elyra followed behind him, even though they didn\'t feel it was comfortable standing around that disrespectful woman. But since she was someone that Seth trusted, they put their concerns aside and accepted the facts as they were for the time being.

Right as they entered, Seth saw Serene and Rina standing on the spacious main living room, feeling worried about what was possibly happening outside. However, as they saw him entering, they immediately relaxed.

"Seth, what happened out...?" Rina came towards him while asking about the situation, but she stopped her words after she saw the Twelfth Palace Master figure.

Rina had seen her a few times while she stood on the Glazed Lake Sect, since Lan Xue visited Palace Master Yushui sometimes.
