In the northern border of Cangfeng, in the snowy region of Ice Extreme, in the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace.
With the existence of things like sound transmission notes, the speed at which information spreads is naturally faster than that of people. When the rumors about Yun Che were spreading in the Blue Wind Empire, another focus was also being discussed by everyone... That was the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace!
To the people of the Blue Wind Empire, the Ice Cloud Palace was an incomparably sacred existence. Its mystery and holiness even surpassed that of the Heavenly Sword Villa. In people's perception, the people in the Ice Cloud Palace were all fairy-like figures, transcending the mortal world and being flawless like ice and snow. The fairies in the Ice Cloud Palace were a fantasy that all men never dared to hope to touch.
But now, the fairy in the Frozen Cloud Palace... and the leader of the world-famous Frozen Cloud Seven Fairies, is actually pregnant! Rumor has it that she is pregnant with a junior!
It is conceivable that this will push Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace to the peak of public opinion. For the thousand-year-old reputation of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, this is a "stain" that can never be erased. It is not an exaggeration to call it a great shame.
When Chu Yuechan and the other four returned to Frozen Cloud Palace, the Palace Master of Frozen Cloud was already waiting there in person.
Gong Yuxian is over 170 years old this year, but she looks only 30 or 40 years old. She wears a long skirt that drags on the ground. Her face is as cold as ice, her eyes are like cold swords, and her face is icy and silent, without any emotion. But the cold light that keeps flashing in the depths of her eyes shows the anger in her heart.
Beside her, there were five women in the same snowy clothes. Each of them had skin made of ice and snow, and a face made of snow lotus, and they were all extremely beautiful. It can be said that any disciple in the Frozen Cloud Palace would be stunning if placed in a certain place. These five people were the other five people who were listed as the Seven Frozen Cloud Immortals together with Chu Yuechan and Chu Yueli.
When Chu Yueli and the other four returned, they found that it was the Palace Master who came out to "greet" them personally. She was startled and glanced at Chu Yuechan beside her. She stepped forward and said, "Disciple Yueli greets Master."
Gong Yuxian nodded slowly, his face still cold, but he ignored her. His eyes fell on Xia Qingyue, and his expression finally softened: "Qingyue, come here."
"Yes, Palace Master."
Xia Qingyue came in front of Gong Yuxian, with the black silk scarf still tied around her arm.
Gong Yuxian stretched out her hand and pressed it on her chest. After a while, she smiled faintly, "Very good. At the age of seventeen, you have already achieved the initial stage of the Profound Emperor. This is your good fortune, and also the good fortune of our Immortal Palace. It seems that there is no need to worry about the selection of the next Palace Master. In the next six months, you must practice in seclusion in the core of the Ice Extreme Snow Region to stabilize the surge of profound power in your body."
“Yes, Palace Master.” Xia Qingyue responded lightly. When Gong Yuxian made it clear that she would be the next Palace Master, she did not refuse, nor was she afraid, nor did she show any surprise. She was indifferent, as if she had heard a very plain sentence.
The atmosphere was very cold. None of the five fairies around Gong Yuxian spoke. They all looked at Chu Yuechan with complicated eyes. At this time, Gong Yuxian's eyes finally fell on Chu Yuechan. After a brief glance, she turned around and said, "Yuechan, come with me."
Chu Yuechan landed silently and followed Gong Yuxian without saying a word.
"Sister..." Chu Yueli called out, her heart full of worry.
This was an ice palace filled with candles and spirit tablets. The names written on each of the spirit tablets were once world-famous, and these were naturally the ancestors of the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace.
"Kneel down!" Standing in the center of the ice palace, facing the many spirit tablets of ancestors, Gong Yuxian's heart was beating fast and he shouted coldly.
Chu Yuechan knelt on the ground, her eyes like ice and mist: "Master..."
"You still have the nerve to call me Master!" Gong Yuxian turned around and said angrily, "Do you know that the thousand-year reputation of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace was ruined because of you! You are my most proud disciple in the past hundred years. Whether it is the Frozen Cloud Art or the Frozen Heart Art, you are far better than others. I am always on guard against disciples breaking the rules. Qingyue's marriage is only based on formalities, which is my bottom line... But I never thought that the first person to break the rules would be you! And you made a big mistake that is known to the world and brought shame to the Immortal Palace!"
Chu Yuechan closed her eyes and said sadly: "Disciple knows my mistakes... I will definitely take full responsibility for the mistakes I made."
"Take responsibility? How can you take responsibility? Even if you commit suicide in front of our ancestors, it won't make up for your mistake!" Gong Yuxian's eyebrows were raised, and he was obviously furious: "Tell me! Whose bastard is that?!"
Chu Yuechan's eyes suddenly became hazy, but she did not hesitate, and gently called out the name: "Yun Che!"
Gong Yuxian's body shook, and she was trembling with anger: "Evil creature! What an evil creature! You actually... you actually really had an affair with a junior... you... you..."
Gong Yuxian was so angry that she was speechless. Although it was rumored that she was pregnant with Yun Che, Gong Yuxian absolutely did not believe it! With Chu Yuechan's temperament, it was unthinkable for her to do such a thing, but no matter what, it was impossible for her to do it with a junior. She never thought that the rumor was actually true!
Gong Yuxian pointed at the spirit tablet and said sternly, "You must kneel down before our ancestors and swear to get this child immediately, and then you must never leave Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace again for the rest of your life!"
“No…” Chu Yuechan shook her head. She placed her jade hand on her lower abdomen and shook her head vigorously. On her face, there was a plea that Gong Yuxian had never seen before: “This is my child and his. I am wrong in many ways, but the child is not wrong. Master, please let this child go. As long as you are willing to let me give birth to this child, I am willing to never disobey you in my life… Please help me!”
"You!" Gong Yuxian's body shook, and her whole body trembled with anger: "At this point, you are still so stubborn! The disciple I am most proud of in my life, actually...actually... OK! Do you really think that if I don't let you get rid of the child, you can give birth to him smoothly? Do you know why my Ice Cloud Palace never allows disciples to get married? The so-called love will affect the practice of Ice Cloud Art, which is purely an excuse. The main reason is, first, it will allow the Ice Cloud Art to be passed on to others! Second, practicing the Ice Cloud Art will make the body's five internal organs cold. Although pregnancy can be achieved, the fetus will die of cold in the womb in two months at most! In addition, this place is located in the extreme north of Cangfeng Country, and it is freezing cold all year round. Even without the Ice Cloud Art, the fetus will still die of cold! Whether you get rid of this fetus or not, there will only be one result!"
Chu Yuechan stood there in a daze for a long time. Suddenly, she stretched out her hands, pointed one finger at her dantian and the other at her heart. Two balls of ice-blue light flashed suddenly, and then a large amount of cold air rushed out of Chu Yuechan's body, bringing up a large piece of icy mist.
Gong Yuxian was shocked and rushed to Chu Yuechan, but it was too late to stop her... At this time, Chu Yuechan's upper body was shaky and her face was extremely pale, but her expression was relaxed. Gong Yuxian's eyes trembled as she looked at the drifting ice mist. She knew that everything was irreversible. She was angry and shocked, but more puzzled and distressed. She said in a painful voice: "Yuechan, why are you doing this... That Yun Che, what kind of magic potion did he feed you!"
Chu Yuechan's lips curled up slightly, as if she wanted to smile. She said softly, "He didn't give me any magic potion, but... he gave me an unforgettable memory, and also allowed me to become a real woman during that time..."
"During those five months, I lost all my strength and my whole body was completely useless. It should have been the darkest, most helpless, and most desperate time, but he made everything become different from what I thought. I couldn't walk, so he held me in his arms. Even in the greatest danger, he refused to put me down. I couldn't eat, so he fed me. Every bite was just right for me, so that I wouldn't get burned or cold. I lost my strength, and he protected me with one hand and cleared all obstacles with the other hand to protect me from the wind and rain... For five whole months, he didn't have a trace of impatience, and never had the thought of putting down this burden of mine. Unconsciously, I began to enjoy this feeling, relying on him for everything. It was clearly the most helpless and desperate moment, but I was hoping that this state would never end..."
"In Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, ten days are like one day, ten years are like one day, several decades are like one day... There is only ice and snow and Frozen Cloud Art forever, and every day is spent in repetition. During that time, he made me know the joy of living, and made me truly feel that I am a woman for the first time... The reason why I took the initiative to participate in the ranking battle is that after leaving him, his shadow is always in my heart. I told myself that I was going to see him for the last time and then end the relationship, but I actually just wanted to see him... I wanted to see him..."
Gong Yuxian's chest rose and fell violently. She sighed deeply and lamented, "What a bad fate! My ancestors said that love between men and women is the most poisonous poison in the world... It's absolutely true. It's this love between men and women that made you go against the sect rules for a junior and bring shame to the Immortal Palace... You even gave up the Frozen Cloud Art that you had practiced for decades for him! You... You..."
“I don’t regret it… I will never regret it.” Chu Yuechan said with tears in her eyes: “I only regret some things. It was not until he was gone that I really figured it out… He is dead. This is the only blood he left in the world. It is the continuation of his life. As his woman, even if it is to repay him for everything he gave me in the past five months, let alone the Frozen Cloud Art, even if I have to die as the price, I must keep him… Please Master, please help me… Please Master, please help me!!”
Gong Yuxian sat down weakly on the chair behind her, her face seemed to have aged a lot. Looking at Chu Yuechan kneeling there, her whole body exuding sadness and determination, her heart was filled with grief. She stretched out her hand, which remained in the air for a long time before she said in a very weak voice: "Get up...get up...just think of me, Gong Yuxian, as someone who has never accepted you as a disciple...from now on, you are no longer a disciple of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace. Leave here immediately, leave the Ice Pole Snow Region, forget everything here, and go wherever you want. From now on, you have nothing to do with Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace..."
Gong Yuxian's tears suddenly welled up. She knelt in front of Gong Yuxian, kowtowed vigorously, and cried, "Master raised me and nurtured me, just like my biological mother...but I made a big mistake, making you sad and angry, and bringing shame to the sect. I know my sin is unforgivable...Master's kindness in raising me, the love of the Immortal Palace, Yuechan...I can only repay you in the next life!"
"Don't say anything more." Gong Yuxian turned away and said, "Let's go... Every time you stay here, a little more cold air will invade your body... If you don't want to hurt the fetus in your belly, leave quickly... And leave quietly, don't alarm anyone, the farther the better... I never want to see you again."
“Thank you, Master.” Chu Yuechan kowtowed again, stood up, and slowly took a step back: “Master, please take care of yourself. Yuechan…can’t stay by your side anymore…”
After the voice fell, Chu Yuechan took a few steps back with difficulty, then gritted her teeth and quickly walked out of the ice palace. Her snow-white figure quickly disappeared in the ice and snow.
Gong Yuxian finally turned around and looked in the direction where Chu Yuechan left. Under her eyes were two deep tear marks.
After a long time, she finally calmed down, her face returned to indifference, and she said in a deep voice: "Hanxue, come in."
As her voice spread, a woman who looked to be in her mid-twenties soon walked in. Feng Hanxue, ranked seventh among the Seven Ice Cloud Immortals, was at the sixth level of the Profound Heaven Realm, and was also the youngest among the Seven Ice Cloud Immortals.
"Notify all disciples to gather at Bingyun Hall. I have some important things to announce!"
"Yes, Palace Master."
Gong Yuxian had three major announcements to make: First, Chu Yuechan was expelled from Bingyun Immortal Palace; second, Xia Qingyue joined the Bingyun Seven Immortals, replacing Chu Yuechan as the first; third, all the disciples outside Bingyun Immortal Palace were recalled, and the palace would be closed for three years from now on, no outside visitors would be seen, and no new disciples would be accepted, and everyone had to go out.
