Despite the freezing weather, where her breath turned to ice and the thick snow covering the mountain peaks, she had no intention of giving up.

When she returned to the cave, she still did not see the carefree king, and a wave of disappointment washed over her.

However, just as she was feeling utterly dejected, a familiar figure came into view.

This person was none other than Qiao Qianshan.

He was wearing a faded coarse cloth shirt, and he was holding a shovel tightly in his hand. He was bending over and shoveling snow hard in the open space in front of the cave.

When Zhao Ziyi saw Qiao Qianshan, a feeling of disgust and disdain welled up in her heart.

She quickened her pace, walked up to Qiao Qianshan in a few steps, put her hands on her hips, her face full of mockery, and said in a shrill voice: "Oh, isn't this old dog Qiao? What, the Dragon Abyss Sword Mansion won't even let you do the job of guarding the gate, and has sent you to the Dragon Abyss Sword Sect to do menial work? Look at your pathetic appearance, you're getting more and more useless as you get older!"

The reason she treated Qiao Qianshan this way was because she knew in her heart that it was Qiao Qianshan who refined that special body-tempering pill for Fang Han.

If it weren't for the Body Tempering Pill refined by Qiao Qianshan, how could Fang Han, a person with no cultivation, have such powerful strength today?

Back in the Dragon Abyss Sword Mansion, she never gave Qiao Qianshan a kind look, often mocking him and displaying her arrogance in front of him, treating him like a human being.

Little did she know that Qiao Qianshan was no longer the same person she once was.

Now, he is the personal disciple of the sect leader, Xiaoyao Wang. According to the seniority of the Longyuan Sword Sect, she should respectfully address Qiao Qianshan as her senior uncle.

In the Dragon Abyss Sword Sect, it is a serious crime for a junior disciple to insult a senior disciple, and such behavior will be severely punished by the sect.

But Zhao Ziyi was clearly unaware of this at the time, still immersed in her arrogance.
