"Destroyed by someone?" Xiao Che's eyebrows jumped. From childhood to adulthood, no matter what he heard from his grandfather or what was spread outside, his profound veins were born disabled. Even he himself, after "rebirth" today with the memory of the descendant of the Medical Saint, suddenly realized that his defective profound veins were definitely not from birth.
However, Xia Qingyue pointed out that the profound veins that he destroyed were not innate, but were damaged by external forces after he was born.
No one in the Xiao Clan could see this fact, but Xia Qingyue saw it clearly in just a few breaths.
This woman...
“That’s right.” Xia Qingyue lowered her eyelashes slightly and said softly, “Because you were severely injured when you were young, and your family may not have noticed it at the time, you never received any repair or treatment. As your body grew, the disability of your profound veins was completely formed... There is absolutely no possibility of repair!”
Xia Qingyue said the last sentence with great confidence and determination. If an adult's Xuanmai is damaged, it will cause a great loss of Xuanli, but there are many ways to repair it. However, as an infant is in the early stage of growth, if the Xuanmai is disabled, then the growth of the Xuanmai will also start from the disability and grow into a more complete disability. By the time Xiao Che is this age, it has basically taken shape and it is impossible to repair it.
Xiao Che's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "That's not necessarily true."
Xia Qingyue glanced at him gently: "It seems that you have been thinking about repairing your profound veins?"
"I will definitely fix it." Xiao Che said expressionlessly.
Xia Qingyue looked at him deeply. From his eyes, she saw not only a kind of pride and confidence, but also a deep coldness. She sighed in her heart and said softly: "...The Profound Sky Continent is vast and has countless talented people. Perhaps there really is a strange person who can repair your profound veins. I really shouldn't have made such an assertion just now. You should just regard it as my ignorance."
These few words made Xiao Che's impression of Xia Qingyue change drastically. He hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "What was the matter with the icy profound power you used before? I have never heard of anyone in Floating Cloud City who can use that kind of profound power. Your master should not be from Floating Cloud City... Of course, this may be your privacy, you don't have to say it."
Xia Qingyue remained silent for a long time. Just when Xiao Che thought she would not say anything, he heard her calmly say, “Frozen Cloud Art.”
"Frozen Cloud Art?" This name made Xiao Che slightly startled, and a vague sense of familiarity arose in his heart. When he suddenly remembered the concept represented by this name, his face suddenly changed, and he blurted out in an uncontrolled voice: "Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace!?!?"
Xia Qingyue's beautiful eyes turned slightly, and she looked at Xiao Che in surprise. When she called out the four words "Ice Cloud Immortal Palace", Xiao Che had obviously lost control of his emotions, but in her opinion, he was still too calm, because even if the Lord of Floating Cloud City suddenly heard this name, he would be shocked to the point of his body going limp and his legs trembling. She said lightly: "My master is indeed from the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace, and I can be considered a disciple of the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace... In the entire Floating Cloud City, only my father knows about this, and you are the second person to know. I will tell you... because you are at least nominally my husband, and it is my most basic respect for you."
"..." Xiao Che was in shock for a long time. The four words "Ice Cloud Immortal Palace" exploded in his heart like a huge bomb. Because this is one of the four most powerful sects in the Blue Wind Empire, a holy place that all the profound practitioners in the Blue Wind Empire yearn for and admire, and a transcendent existence that even the royal family of the Blue Wind Empire has to worship every year!
Tianjian Villa, Bingyun Immortal Palace, Xiao Sect, and Fentian Sect.
The Blue Wind Empire is the smallest of the seven nations in the Profound Sky Continent, and its overall strength is also the lowest, but it has never been annexed by other countries, and a large part of the reason is these four major sects. Those big nations may not be afraid of the power of the Blue Wind Empire's court, but they cannot help but be afraid of these four major sects.
The strength of these four major sects is beyond doubt. They are also extremely strict in recruiting disciples, not focusing on family background, but talent. Almost all the profound practitioners in the Blue Wind Empire dream of entering these four major sects. And if you can enter one of these four major sects, even if you are just a disciple at the lowest level, your whole family will be honored, and your family will rise to heaven. Even the court will treat you as a distinguished guest, and you may even be given a title of nobility.
In this small city of Floating Cloud, no one had ever heard of anyone being able to enter the four major sects, and no one dared to imagine it. To Xiao Che in the past, the names of the four major sects were well-known, but they were like palaces in the sky, and he never dared to hope to touch them one day... But he didn't expect that the wife he had just married was actually a disciple of the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace, which ranked second only to the Heavenly Sword Villa among the four major sects!
Xiao Che calmed down as quickly as possible and asked, "Since you are a disciple of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, why didn't your Xia family make this matter public? With your status, the Xia family can walk sideways in Floating Cloud City, and no one will dare to provoke you. All the wealthy families, including the city lord's family, will come to curry favor with you, and the development speed of your Xia family will increase several times."
“Because of you.” Xia Qingyue replied.
"Because... me?" Xiao Che was stunned, and then fell silent... These three words made him think of the reason.
"Just marrying you as the daughter of the Xia family has caused an uproar in Floating Cloud City. If I marry you as a disciple of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, it will not only be this small Floating Cloud City that will be in uproar. It may cause many unpredictable consequences for both you and our Xia family. After all, the gap between you and me is too great." Xia Qingyue's voice was light and her eyes were clear. Although she was just standing there quietly, she was already dazzling.
Xiao Che exhaled slowly: "Then why did you marry me?"
"You know the reason very well... Because my life was saved by Uncle Xiao, and he was unable to resist the assassination attempt because of saving me, and thus died. Also, my father arranged my marriage to you on the day I was born. Whether it is to repay Uncle Xiao's kindness or to obey my father's promise, I have no reason not to marry you."
Xia Qingyue raised her eyes, her gaze as cold as the shimmering ice: "The reason why I told you that I belong to Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace is also to let you know that if you want to cultivate Frozen Cloud, you must first freeze your heart. Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace only accepts women, and they must not be contaminated by lust for the rest of their lives, nor will they give rise to lust. Although I married you, I will never fall in love with anyone in this life. You must know this."
“…Even if you’re not from Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, I don’t think you’ll fall in love with me.” Xiao Che laughed at himself.
Xia Qingyue shook her head slowly: “Perhaps you have misunderstood. I am definitely not looking down on you, and I have never looked down on you… Master has also told me many times that even if a person reaches a high level, you can only look down on him, not despise him. Besides, I am only at the starting point. Although the Profound Sky Continent respects profound strength, there are also countless doctors, alchemists, and weapon masters who are praised by the world. A disabled profound vein does not mean that your life is ruined.”
Xiao Che was moved. The only things that were spread in Floating Cloud City were Xia Qingyue’s appearance and talent. Perhaps no one knew that beneath her beauty, there was a state of mind that even most middle-aged people could hardly have.
And she was really only sixteen years old... In a few years, it would be unimaginable. No wonder she was favored by the people of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace!
And such a woman who is so enchanting in appearance, talent and state of mind actually becomes my wife. It really feels like a dream!
If I didn't have the experience and memories of two lifetimes now, I would definitely be so inferior in front of her that I wouldn't even dare to look at her face.
"Thank you for telling me this..." Xiao Che said with a sigh, and then changed his tone and his eyes became more focused: "Then, can you tell me, what realm is your current profound strength at?"
Being able to enter the tenth level of the Elementary Profound Realm at the age of sixteen was definitely an amazing talent that could shock the entire Floating Cloud City. But now, Xiao Che absolutely did not believe that Xia Qingyue was really only at the tenth level of the Elementary Profound Realm. Because this talent was unmatched in Floating Cloud City, and was not even worthy of being in the eyes of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace.
The question Xiao Che suddenly asked made Xia Qingyue fall silent immediately, and she did not answer. But her silence also showed that her strength was indeed more than the tenth level of the Elementary Profound Realm.
“You should go and make a toast.” Xia Qingyue turned her eyes to the side and said slowly.
Just as she finished speaking, footsteps approached the door, followed by Xiao Hong's calm and aged voice: "Master, it's time to toast."
“Master Hong, I’ll be there right away.” Xiao Che agreed, took one last look at Xia Qingyue, put on his clothes, and walked out of the room.
As soon as Xiao Che left, a bright ice aura suddenly appeared in the room. In the ice aura, a snow-white figure appeared in front of Xia Qingyue in a dreamlike manner. Xia Qingyue stepped forward, lowered her body, and called softly and respectfully: "Master."
"Qingyue, you have achieved your wish, so you should come back to Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace with me, right?"
The voice was soft and beautiful, as ethereal as clouds and as gentle as the wind, enough to completely melt the coldest heart in the world.
Xia Qingyue shook her head gently: "Master, Qingyue wants to stay for a while longer. If he leaves right after the wedding, he will be subjected to even more harsh and endless ridicule. Master, please give me another month. I will leave in a way that will not hurt him and will not allow others to continue to hurt him."
The woman in white looked at her calmly, then nodded slowly and smiled, "Alright. Since we have made an exception to allow you to become the first disciple of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace to get married in a hundred years, then it won't hurt to wait another month."
“Thank you, Master, for your help.” Xia Qingyue lowered herself again, hesitated for a moment, and said softly, “Master, is it really impossible to repair his profound veins?”
The woman in white shook her head without any hesitation: "Perhaps nothing is absolute in this world... but at least in my opinion, it is impossible. Qingyue, you have a kind, compassionate, and grateful heart, which is great. However, I really can't help you this time."
[Because I was in Wenzhou a few days ago, I was very busy with the manuscript. I will update a lot recently, but the time may be unstable. Give me a few days to relax, and then I will update regularly every day, so that everyone doesn't have to wait in a hurry. Hmm...]
