There was less than half an hour left before the sect-wide conference began when Yun Che followed Mu Bingyun out of the Ice Phoenix Palace, with Mu Xiaolan naturally following beside him.
Flying across the Ice Phoenix City area and heading straight north, when approaching the temple area, a figure flew towards him from behind.
Upon seeing Yun Che, that person paused for a moment, then quickened his pace and came in front of them.
Dressed in white, handsome and elegant, he exudes an extraordinary noble aura. It is Mu Hanyi.
“Palace Master Bingyun, Junior Sister Xiaolan, and Junior Brother Yunche… Oh no,” Mu Hanyi smiled and shook his head: “After today, I should address you as Senior Brother Yunche.”
Mu Bingyun nodded, and Mu Xiaolan returned the greeting. Yun Che smiled and said, “Senior Brother Han Yi, you are too polite. I am younger than you, and I joined the sect much later than you. I really don’t dare to bear the title of Senior Brother. Why is Senior Brother Han Yi alone today?”
"I was talking to my brother about some trivial matters earlier, so there was a delay." Mu Hanyi explained casually, and then said sincerely: "I haven't congratulated Junior Brother Yun Che on becoming the master's personal disciple. To be honest, I was defeated by Junior Brother Yun Che that day, which was a big blow. I was in a daze for several days, and it was not until the day before yesterday that I calmed down. Now that I think about it, although Junior Brother Yun Che's cultivation is still shallow, if we talk about his aptitude, he can dive into the Tianchi Lake for a thousand feet... I'm afraid it's unprecedented and unparalleled. Han Yi can never compare to him, so it's natural that he lost. But Han Yi was so shameless that day that he gave in 80%, which must have made Junior Brother Yun Che laugh at him."
“That’s not true, Senior Brother Han Yi,” Yun Che said with a smile, “In the future, I will have to rely on Senior Brother Han Yi to take care of me in the sect.”
Mu Hanyi smiled and shook his head, raised his hand and bowed, just about to say goodbye, but suddenly thought of something, and then said: "By the way, in fifteen days, it will be the thousandth birthday of Hanyi's father. Junior Brother Yun Che will always be by the side of the sect master in the future. If you have time, please let the sect master know."
“Okay, I understand.” Yun Che nodded: “I will inform the sect master of this matter at the right time.”
Judging from Mu Hanyi's expression, it was obviously impossible for him to expect the great King of the Snow Song Realm to be present at his father's millennium birthday. He was only trying to convey the message out of respect and courtesy.
“Han Yi bids farewell, and awaits Junior Brother Yun Che’s performance at the sect conference.”
Mu Hanyi bowed deeply and flew towards the temple.
Yun Che and the other two also stood up and flew towards the temple. At this time, Mu Bingyun suddenly asked, "Yun Che, what do you think of Han Yi?"
Yun Che tilted his head, thought for a moment, and said, “From what I know, he should have a strong obsession with the status of a personal disciple, and he is quite confident. Seven days ago, he was only a hair’s breadth away from success, but failed because of me… In just seven short days, not only did he accept it calmly, he also showed no hostility towards me, and took the initiative to greet me…”
"Honestly speaking, if it were me, I couldn't do it."
“Yes, Senior Brother Han Yi is really a very good person.” Mu Xiaolan nodded.
Mu Bingyun glanced at Mu Xiaolan and said, "In fact, seven days ago at Minghan Heavenly Lake, in the battle of ice spirits between Mu Hanyi and Mu Feixue, Mu Feixue should have won."
"Ah?" Mu Xiaolan opened her lips in surprise.
“… So, could it be that the Sect Master was secretly controlling this?” Yun Che asked in surprise. With the Sect Master’s strength, it would be effortless for her to control this, and there would be no trace left.
"That is indeed the case." Mu Bingyun nodded. "In terms of talent, Mu Feixue is definitely better than Mu Hanyi, but Mu Hanyi's personality... regardless of whether it is good or bad, he is indeed more suitable to be a personal disciple."
“…” Yun Che remained silent, but he was not surprised.
“But I didn’t expect that, by some strange coincidence, I would choose you.” Mu Bingyun’s eyes were dim as he sighed softly, “Although the Sect Master has long known that you have a different physique, you are ultimately a person from the lower realms. In a few years, regardless of whether you have achieved your goal or not, you will return and will not stay in the Snow Song Realm forever. Therefore, I never thought of accepting you as my personal disciple. I didn’t expect… this can be considered a coincidence.”
"Moreover, I feel that the biggest reason why she finally changed her mind and chose you due to this 'accident' was not your physique, but your courage to face all the elders and palace masters that day, and even talk back to her."
“Should… not be?” Yun Che whispered, and then laughed at himself: “You call it courage… courage without sufficient strength, to put it bluntly, is just recklessness without knowing whether to live or die. The sect master scolded me twice for this.”
Mu Bingyun shook her head but did not explain. Instead, she said, "It seems that I don't need to remind you about Mu Hanyi. Feixue is the most suitable person for you."
“Eh? The person who is most suitable for me? What does that mean?” Yun Che was stunned.
“You will know in a few days.” Mu Bingyun smiled faintly.
Yun Che: “???”
“Master, after Yun Che became the sect master’s personal disciple, will it be… difficult to see him again?” Mu Xiaolan suddenly asked softly.
“Yes.” Mu Bingyun nodded gently: “After today, Yun Che will live with the Sect Master in the Holy Temple. It should be very difficult to see him again.”
“Oh.” Mu Xiaolan responded and lowered her head slightly.
“Hmm? Master Xiaolan, you can’t be… reluctant to leave me, right?” Yun Che leaned closer and said with a smile.
“Who… who can’t bear to leave you!” Mu Xiaolan hurriedly took a small step back and said in a hurry: “If you leave, I can accompany Master alone. I’m so happy, hum!”
“Oh…” Yun Che let out a sigh with a melancholy look on his face: “Alright, alright. I was originally planning to visit the Ice Phoenix Palace more often. Since you hate me so much, I’d better not be so self-indulgent and go back.”
“You…it’s your duty to come back to visit your master. I…can’t stop you.” Mu Xiaolan’s voice suddenly weakened.
——————————
At 10 a.m. in the Ice Phoenix Temple, following the proud roar of a giant ice dragon, the Snow Song Realm King descended from the sky and sat on the Holy Throne. The sect conference officially began.
All the senior leaders were present, nearly half of the middle leaders, and there were millions of disciples. The entire temple square was filled with a vast ocean of icy air. However, the more eye-catching protagonist of this sect conference was not the Snow Song Realm King, but Yun Che.
After Mu Huanzhi personally read out the selection results and the laws for personal disciples seven days ago, Yun Che slowly walked out under the gazes of everyone, came to the throne of the Snow Song Realm King, and knelt down solemnly.
Today’s Snow Song Realm King was not surrounded by mist. When Yun Che walked towards her, his heartbeat and emotions were in a complete mess.
Her face was like a sculpture of ice jade, beautiful as a fairy, but under her gaze, every pore of Yun Che's body was filled with a bone-chilling coldness.
In the Snow Song Realm, she could decide the life and death of anyone. Now, she had become his master... But before, he was clearly very close to her, and it would have been fine if he had been inappropriate and disrespectful, but he actually called her "big-breasted senior sister" several times, especially the last time, which was a naked teasing.
Until now, Yun Che still couldn’t fully accept that she was actually the Snow Song Realm King. The most “powerful” evidence was that he was still alive and well after he flirted with the Snow Song Realm King… and his master!
“Yun Che, although you have only been in the sect for a short time and your cultivation is shallow, you have an extraordinary physique and a natural talent for ice, and you have an unlimited future.”
The Snow Song Realm King spoke calmly, and everyone in the Temple Square bent their ears to listen: "This king will accept you as his personal disciple today and grant you the bloodline of the Ice Phoenix. You must strictly abide by the rules and diligently practice my Ice Phoenix Profound Art. You must not slack off in the slightest, otherwise, this king will personally punish you."
“Yes!” Yun Che recited the words that Mu Bingyun had taught him with a serious face: “Disciple Yun Che will definitely live up to this heaven-sent honor and will not dare to disappoint Master and the sect.”
“Bow!” Mu Huanzhi said in a high voice. He looked at Yun Che with a complicated expression.
Many eyes were fixed on Yun Che, watching him pay homage to Mu Xuanyin. Envy, jealousy, surprise, and difficulty in accepting... It was generally believed that the person who could become the sect master's personal disciple could only be Mu Hanyi or Mu Feixue. Who would have thought that it would be a disciple who had just entered the sect and whose profound strength had just entered the Divine Origin Realm.
Not only was he born in the lower realm, but he had only been in the Ice Phoenix Divine Sect for a very short period of three months. However, in these three short months, he surpassed Mu Hanyi and Mu Feixue, and all the disciples in the sect, and reached the top level of the sect.
After Yun Che finished his ceremony, his heart was still in turmoil. He did not dare to look directly at Mu Xuanyin. Even when he was offering tea, he wanted to lower his head below his buttocks... He was filled with deep anxiety and worry about his future.
At this moment, a cold wind suddenly whistled, and a deacon in front of the temple came quickly, knelt down, and said quickly: "Report to the sect master, there is a guest from the Flame God Realm who wants to see you... The person has arrived outside the holy temple."
“What? Outside the temple?” Mu Huanzhi’s expression changed, and the elders on both sides also stood up.
“Humph!” Mu Xuanyin snorted coldly: “To be able to get here quietly, it seems that those three old guys came in person.”
"It's the Sect Master. The three people in the lead are the three great Sect Masters of the Flame God Realm." The deacon in front of the hall said solemnly.
The three great masters of the Flame God Realm are all here in person! ?
A sense of shock and unusualness instantly spread in the cold wind.
"How many people did they bring?" Mu Huanzhi asked in a deep voice.
"The Third Sect Master only brought three people... and they were three very young people."
"Six people? It seems these three old men have grown braver."
Mu Xuanyin did not stand up. Her icy voice shook the sky: “Let them in!”
"Che'er, come to your teacher."
The cold voice carried an irresistible majesty, but the way it addressed Yun Che had changed. Yun Che was stunned for a moment, then stood up, walked carefully towards Mu Xuanyin, and stood to her right.
Watching Yun Che standing next to the Snow Song Realm King with their own eyes… all of the other disciples were envious to death. Even the elders and palace masters with the highest status had envy flashing in their eyes.
The cold wind stagnated slightly, and suddenly a few extremely hot air waves were mixed in. Under the air waves, six people fell from the air, followed by three people in front and three people in the back, slowing down their steps and walking towards Mu Xuanyin on the ice path in the middle.
Wherever they passed, the air currents suddenly became chaotic, and scorching air rose to the sky.
