Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3329

At the same time, deep within a hidden paradise-like realm, the scenery was breathtaking. The mountains were lush and green, streams flowed gently, and the air was filled with the scent of blooming flowers.

Young women who looked like they'd stepped out of a fairytale wandered through the flower beds. Some were gathering blossoms, others just enjoying the sunshine. A few knelt by the water's edge, washing their clothes in the stream, their movements graceful and unhurried.

Not a single man could be seen anywhere.

Beyond this heavenly stretch of land stood rows of delicate, villa-style buildings, and at the center rose a grand hall. This was the headquarters of the Harmony Sect.

The leader of the Harmony Sect, Dorothy Fontaine, sat elegantly on a snow-white chair, dressed in a soft yellow gown. Her slender fingers, pale as porcelain, slowly stretched out before she lifted a cup of floral tea and took a gentle sip.

She set the cup down with a satisfied smile, her lips curling in a girlish grin as if she genuinely enjoyed the taste.

Dorothy looked no older than 23, with fair skin touched by a rosy glow and eyes that carried natural charm without a hint of makeup.

Her cheeks were slightly rounded, giving her a faint baby-faced softness that only added to her pure and ethereal beauty. Every glance and every smile seemed to tug at the heart and stir the soul.

This was the unique allure of Dorothy.

Seated below her on both sides were more than a dozen elders of the Harmony Sect. Each one was breathtakingly beautiful in her own way, radiating a different kind of charm.

The elder, Charlotte Easterling, kept her head lowered. Her face remained unseen, but her chin, collarbone, and graceful neck were flawless, like a perfectly sculpted masterpiece.

Her voice was soft and gentle as she replied, "Everything will be done according to your instructions. For the sake of the sect, I'm willing to do anything."

Dorothy nodded in satisfaction. "Good. I see your dedication, and I'll remember it. And you don't need to feel that you are losing out on anything. Andrew is said to be tall and impressive, both powerful and handsome. More importantly, his martial strength is extraordinary, and his status is unmatched. To cultivate alongside such a man will surely be… unforgettable."

Charlotte responded quietly, her voice trembling slightly as if even speaking of it made her nervous.

The only male elder suddenly looked alarmed. "Madam Fontaine, what do you mean by that? You intend to send Elder Easterling, your sole direct successor, to serve Andrew? That's impossible! According to our ancestral rules, only the Guardian of Harmony Sect is allowed to cultivate alongside Madam Fontaine's lineage. Andrew is an outsider. How can we hand him such an advantage? I absolutely refuse."
