“Are you okay?” Chu Yuechan tried her best to make her voice sound cold and hard, but her body was pressed against him, and the warm and familiar breath made her heartbeat completely disordered. Even if she tried hard to practice the Ice Heart Technique, she couldn't calm it down.
During those five months, she was held in his arms almost every moment, and she was so familiar with his physical contact that she could not be more familiar with it. In fact, during that time, she had unconsciously adapted to and inexplicably enjoyed this feeling... But the voice in her heart told her that it was because she was paralyzed at that time and could only rely on his care and protection, but it was different now... She had already made a big mistake with him, and she must not continue to make the same mistake...
Yun Che put all his weight on Chu Yuechan, looking limp and half dead. He said in an extremely weak voice: "I... am fine... Little Fairy... don't leave me..."
"..." Chu Yuechan was speechless. Every syllable of Yun Che's weak voice touched her heart, making her feel a pain like a needle piercing her heart. She couldn't push Yun Che away, nor could she obey. She could only hug him quietly... During this time, she forced herself to be cruel several times, but in the end she couldn't bear to push him away.
It was late at night and there were only the two of them here. No one else would see or disturb him. He was seriously injured again... Just like that, let him indulge himself one last time... This was the reason Chu Yuechan kept comforting and persuading herself in her heart.
Until, in order to detect Yun Che’s current injuries, she quickly moved her profound energy around Yun Che’s body...
BANG!!
Yun Che, who was lying on top of Chu Yuechan, was pushed away, and his back hit the wall behind the bed. Yun Che grimaced in pain: “Ah, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts…”
"How dare you pretend to lie to me!" Chu Yuechan said coldly, her face was covered with frost and her eyes were filled with anger. However, after knowing that his condition was not getting worse, but had improved significantly, she suddenly relaxed. Although she was angry on her face, she felt more relaxed in her heart, which she would never show. This feeling also made her feel a little flustered... because this was an emotion she should never have.
Yun Che stretched out his hand and rubbed his back, and said pitifully: “Because, I’m afraid that my little fairy will really leave like that. Little fairy, I know that these days you have been…”
"Stop talking!"
Chu Yuechan’s chest rose and fell. She interrupted Yun Che with a cold voice and turned around. Her voice was cold and ruthless: “Everything that happened between you and me was a mistake. I am almost forgetting it. Please forget it all too! If you can’t forget it, just treat it as an illusory dream and never think about turning it into reality.”
Yun Che: “…”
“No one else will know about our affairs. If you don’t want to cause trouble, then never reveal the Sixth Frozen Cloud Art you obtained… You are Qingyue’s husband. If you don’t want her and Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace to be ridiculed by the world and dragged into the abyss of logic… then give up all thoughts of me…”
Chu Yuechan closed her eyes, the ice spirit on her body fluttering chaotically: "After leaving Tianjian Villa, we will never see each other again."
After saying the last sentence, Chu Yuechan also disappeared in front of Yun Che, leaving Yun Che quietly looking at the little bit of ice spirit that had not yet completely dissipated...
"Alas." After a long while, Yun Che lay back on the bed and sighed. He put his hands to his nose and could vaguely smell her ice lotus-like scent.
"It seems like you didn't get what you wanted." Jasmine said gloatingly.
“You don’t understand.” Yun Che tilted his head and muttered, then sighed again, thinking about Chu Yuechan’s last few words… being ridiculed by the world… being drawn into the abyss of logic… these words deeply irritated his nerves.
Xia Qingyue is his wife.
Chu Yuechan was Xia Qingyue's uncle and half-master.
Something that violates reason will undoubtedly attract strange looks and public opinion from the world... Especially, it is in the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace which is like a holy place in the Blue Wind Empire.
Not to mention whether Chu Yuechan had any true feelings for him, as the leader of the "Seven Ice Cloud Immortals" of Ice Cloud Palace, she would never cross this gap and bear the consequences of bringing shame to the reputation of Ice Cloud Palace for thousands of years.
Therefore, no matter what she feels in her heart, determination is her only choice.
——————————————
The qualifying battles for the main and secondary venues have ended, and the rankings of more than 500 sects have been determined.
First place: Blue Wind Imperial Family, second place: Ice Cloud Immortal Palace, third place: Heavenly Sword Villa, fourth place: Xiao Sect, fifth place: Burning Heaven Sect. After the announcement of the ranking results, it caused an unprecedented uproar in the Blue Wind Empire's Xuanjie. Yun Che and Xia Qingyue, two boys and girls who were only seventeen years old, their names also spread to every corner of the Blue Wind Empire within a few days, and then spread to the other six countries at an extremely fast speed.
The ranking battle of the Blue Wind Empire had always been watched by other countries. The result of this ranking battle also shocked other countries to a considerable extent, making them unable to forget the names of Yun Che and Xia Qingyue.
Regarding Yun Che’s origin, circumstances, deeds in Blue Wind Profound Palace, performance in the ranking battles… all were fabricated into countless versions and circulated in the market, especially the battle with Xia Qingyue, which was described in a exaggerated and earth-shattering way, just like a battle between ghosts and gods… Other things even included his lingering and touching relationship with Princess Cang Yue…
If Yun Che were to walk around any street in any city in the Blue Wind Empire right now, he would be stimulated by the rumors about himself and would go into a seizure on the spot.
Yun Che had underestimated the influence of the ranking battle to a certain extent. In the peaceful Tianjian Villa, he was completely unaware that his name and various exaggerated and bizarre legends were already spreading throughout the outside world.
After the ranking battle, all the major sects left one after another. In the end, only the top ten sects, including Tianjian Villa, remained. They had gone through so much hardship to get into the top ten, just to be able to enter the Tianchi Secret Realm, and absolutely no one was willing to miss it.
The time for the opening of the Tianchi Secret Realm is getting closer and closer.
After Yun Che woke up, his recovery speed also increased several times. He had not gone anywhere in the past two days and had been concentrating on recuperation. With the injuries he suffered on the sword arena that day, no one would believe that he not only woke up, but also that his injuries had healed almost completely.
The night before the Tianchi secret realm opens.
Ling Yuefeng stood under an old tree in the courtyard, silently looking at the waning moon in the sky. His clothes were wet by the night dew, and it was obvious that he had been standing here for a long time.
"Oh." Ling Yuefeng suddenly let out a long sigh.
"Yue Feng, don't think too much about it. It's already happened. There's no point in thinking about it. This time, it's not that we are weak. Those two people are stronger than expected. It's not unfair that we lost."
Xuanyuan Yufeng came over and whispered comfortingly.
Ling Yuefeng had been in a daze, staring at the crescent moon, wondering what he was thinking, and he didn't even notice when Xuanyuan Yufeng approached. A complex color flashed in his eyes, and then he turned around and sighed, "Since our ancestor used the mighty sword to shock the world and founded Tianjian Villa, it has been more than 1,200 years, and the position of overlord has never been shaken. But only in my generation,... Although I try to face it calmly day and night, I still can't let it go. I feel deeply ashamed of my ancestors and the thousand-year foundation of Tianjian Villa."
"Don't say that." Xuanyuan Yufeng comforted him, "You inherited the position of the manor master at a young age, shouldering all the heavy responsibilities of such a large manor, and have been in office for twenty-one years. Over the years, I have walked with you and watched the manor grow stronger and stronger. Yun'er and Jie'er have also surpassed you in their youth under your training. These are enough for you and me to be proud of. Although the result of this ranking battle was not as expected, the ranking battle only considers the young generation of the top class, and there is too much chance. In terms of foundation, resources, prestige, and comprehensive strength, even if the nine sects that remain here are added together, they cannot be compared with us. What is there to be uneasy about?"
Xuanyuan Yufeng's consolation made Ling Yuefeng's eyes slowly calm down. He embraced Xuanyuan Yufeng and said emotionally: "Madam, you are right. I, Ling Yuefeng, have nothing else to ask for in my life to have a wife like you. What else can't I let go of?"
Xuanyuan Yufeng smiled gently and leaned on her husband's shoulder.
Ling Yuefeng looked away and said, "The light in Yun'er's room is still on... Alas, I can see that he has been distracted these past few days. I am worried that Yun'er is the one who can't let go the most. I am afraid that his confidence and swordsmanship will be greatly affected. Why don't I go over and talk to him?"
Xuanyuan Yufeng stood up and shook her head slowly: "Yun'er's abnormal behavior may not be due to the defeat that day."
"Madam, what you mean is..."
Xuanyuan Yufeng said, "Alright. Yuefeng, go and see him. Let him speak out what's in his heart. Maybe if you give him some guidance, he can get out of it on his own."
Ling Yuefeng nodded, then walked out of the courtyard slowly and headed towards Ling Yun's courtyard.
Xuanyuan Yufeng returned to the room, and soon there was a knock on the door: "Yufeng, it's me."
This voice made Xuanyuan Yufeng stand up quickly and open the door. The person who came was Ling Kun.
Ling Kun sat in the room, looked at Xuanyuan Yufeng for a while, and said, "Yufeng, how have you been these years? Did Ling Yuefeng bully you?"
"Yue Feng has always been very good to me. Thank you for your concern, uncle." Xuanyuan Yufeng replied with a smile. She poured a cup of tea for Ling Kun and sat opposite him. There was a hint of melancholy in her expression: "I came to see uncle so late because I wanted to... I wanted to know if my father... is he still angry with me?"
"Haha," Ling Kun smiled and said, "Yufeng, as a daughter, don't you know what kind of person your father is? The Ninth Elder has actually calmed down a long time ago. In recent years, Tianwei Sword Region and Shanjian Villa have had many exchanges. Do you really think that this is something that a small deacon like me can facilitate? In fact, it has always been the Ninth Elder who has been secretly facilitating this. The dragon scale armor that I brought this time was also personally ordered by the Ninth Elder... It's just that the Ninth Elder is stubborn. Although he has already accepted your marriage to Ling Yuefeng in his heart, he has always been stubborn. And what really made him angry all these years is that you didn't go back to see him for so many years."
Xuanyuan Yufeng's eyes moistened: "I made my father so angry and humiliated him back then, how can I have the face to go back and see him..."
"Alas, silly child, you are wrong... After all, you are the only daughter of the Ninth Elder. No matter what, he will never really resent you. Although he has not said anything these years, everyone can see that he misses you very much, otherwise he would not always bring up your past events over and over again... When the matter of sealing the demon is over, you and Yue Feng, along with Yun'er and Jie'er, will follow me back to Tianwei Sword Region. When the Ninth Elder sees you and his two grandchildren, I wonder how happy he will be... Without this barrier between you, the Ninth Elder may come here often to visit you and his two grandchildren in the future. Tianjian Villa will benefit greatly from this. If Yun'er and Jie'er can get personal guidance from the Ninth Elder, their strength will surely improve by leaps and bounds."
Xuanyuan Yufeng managed to calm down her out-of-control emotions and nodded slowly: "...Okay. I'll talk to Yuefeng when he comes back."
"That's good." Ling Kun smiled, and then said casually: "When I came here, I saw Yue Feng hurriedly heading southeast, but what's the urgent matter?"
"He is going to ..."
Xuanyuan Yufeng's voice suddenly stopped, and she raised her head abruptly, her expression suddenly becoming stiff and ugly: "Southeast? You mean...Southeast?"
