Cao Mengrong

Cao Mengrong is a Qi Condensation cultivator residing in the Great Jin. She is a disciple of the Profound Jade Sect in-name only. She is friends with the daughter of one of the eight illustrious generals of the Great Jin. As such she is treated as nobility by mortals and revered by other Qi Condensation cultivators.
== First Meeting ==
Cao Mengrong was under escort to reunite with her friend when she discovered a frozen block of ice with a man trapped within it. Her aides were shocked that the man was still alive. She appealed to her aides and the captain of the escort to save the man. Her aides promptly rescued the frozen man and broke the ice encasing the man.
The man was actually Han Li who barely escaped the Soaring Tribes who were hunting him. He suppressed his to the Qi Condensation stage in order to prevent cultivation backlash by the Baleful Qi he accumulated over his lifetime.
Cao Mengrong met Han Li soon after he awoke. She mistook Han Li for a cultivator that had recently reintegrated with society due to his lack of knowledge about the Great Jin region. She did not know that he was a foreign cultivator from the Heavenly South Region. She sensed that Han Li's cultivation was superior to her own. As a result, she sought guidance from him. Unfortunately, he rejected the idea of providing her guidance. She was delighted to hear that he was willing to exchange cultivation experiences. 
== Hostilities ==
Cao Mengrong was targeted by Wu Xiaoyu who planned to force her to release his nephew. Luckily, she was warned by her master allowing her to solicit assistance from Han Li. However, she was still shocked when Wu Xiaoyu brought an assistant possessing magic tools. To a Qi Condensation like herself, magic tools required immense strength to use. Unexpectedly, Han Li effortlessly took care of her adversaries forcing them to flee. After the scuffle, she was forced to part with Han Li causing her to feel indescribable pain. 
Thanks to his willingness to share his cultivation experiences, she was able ascend several layers of Qi Condensation. Later she learned that Han Li was likely concealing his cultivation and was a hidden master.
== Land Journey to the Capital ==
Several years later Cao Mengrong reunited with her friend. Her friends father was summoned to the Jin Capital to meet the emperor. As a result, she traveled in a military convoy back to the capital. As her convoy passed the road she sensed Han Li's presence. As a result the military convoy temporarily stopped at a rest stop in order to intercept him. 
Cao Mengrong's senses were correct and she was reunited with Han Li. She was able to verify her master's opinion that he was a hidden master because she could not sense Spiritual Energy emanating from his body. Startled, she quickly tried to change how she addressed Han Li. She was rebuked by him. She was touched at his kind words when he shared his opinion that he was indebted to her for saving him from the ice. Along the way she shared her recent experiences with him. 
Unknowingly, Cao Mengrong developed feelings for Han Li. Unfortunately, her time with him was cut short. After a sharp dragon cry, he instantly flickered out of her sight. She was deeply shocked witnessing his speed and abilities. She watched as he departed flying through the air with incredible speed.
