Ruan Xiyan glanced at the disciples, "And theirs too."
"Didn't you hear what the young lady said? Hurry up and take everything out!" Liu Meng scolded.
The disciples did as instructed and handed over all their ice points to Ruan Xiyan.
Liu Meng looked at Ruan Xiyan cautiously, "Can we leave now?"
"Get out of here and never show your face in front of me again."
"Yes, yes, yes." Hearing Ruan Xiyan's words, those people felt as if they had been granted a pardon.
They scrambled away from Ruan Xiyan's courtyard as if a demon were chasing them.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to take the unconscious disciple with him.
They came here to rob, but instead they were the ones who got robbed.
In the end, they slunk away like stray dogs.
From then on, Ruan Xiyan's strength at the Creation Realm spread throughout the inner sect.
Those who were initially eager to cause trouble immediately fell silent.
Before getting into trouble, you should first consider whether you are powerful enough and whether you can beat the other person. If they are arrogant, they certainly have the right to be arrogant.
Ruan Xiyan hadn't expected that the previous intimidation would not only earn her a lot of Ice Points, but also save her a lot of trouble.
That's good, then she can focus on her cultivation.
However, judging by the time, Yingxue and Tinghe should be arriving soon.
They agreed to meet in Tianxiao City, the closest city to Bingyu Palace.
As Ruan Xiyan was thinking, a magical butterfly flew from afar and landed on her fingertip.
The message carried by the phantom butterfly entered her mind.
A smile curved her lips; it seemed they had arrived.
With that thought in mind, Ruan Xiyan got up and left the Ice Feather Palace.
Yingxue and the others were not disciples of the Ice Feather Palace, and they could not enter without the guidance of a disciple from the sect.
In Tianxiao City, at the Ju'an Inn.
Tinghe leaned against the second-floor window, looking down at the bustling street below, finding everything new and exciting.
"Yingxue, I see a lot of shops downstairs, why don't we go down and have a look?"
Although she was an assassin of the Illusionary Beauty Pavilion, she was also an alchemist, so she spent most of her time in the pavilion refining medicine.
“No, let’s meet up with the Lord here first. If you want to go sightseeing later, I’ll accompany you,” Yingxue replied calmly.
"Alright then." Tinghe nodded obediently.
"I wonder what the Ice Feather Palace looks like, and whether it's fun?" Tinghe asked, resting her chin on her hand.
"Go see for yourself and you'll see if it's fun or not." A cheerful voice came from the doorway.
"My lord?!" Upon seeing Ruan Xiyan appear, Tinghe immediately skipped over and ran over. "My lord, you've come."
Yingxue stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"No need for formalities," Ruan Xiyan waved her hand and said, "You already know why I called you here through the message sent by the Illusionary Butterfly."
"What are your own opinions? Have you considered them?"
Yingxue clasped her hands and said, "I will obey whatever you ask of me, my lord. I will do whatever you ask me to do."
Looking at Yingxue's serious and methodical manner, Ruan Xiyan felt helpless.
"Tinghe, what do you think?" Ruan Xiyan looked at Tinghe again.
"Of course I agree! That way I can see the Lord more often. How could I refuse such a good thing?" Tinghe winked mischievously.
“Since you have no problems, I will take you to the Ice Feather Palace tomorrow,” Ruan Xiyan said. “The two elders there are quite skilled in alchemy and weapon crafting.”
“If you learn from them, you will definitely be able to improve your skills.”
"Yes, my lord."
“In the future, within the Ice Feather Palace, there’s no need to call me ‘Master,’ lest my identity be exposed,” Ruan Xiyan said after a moment’s thought. “Just call me ‘Miss.’”
“Yes, my lord… Miss,” Yingxue replied, changing her address.
"Miss, can we go for a walk in the city now?" Tinghe looked at Ruan Xiyan expectantly.
“Go ahead,” Ruan Xiyan said with a smile.
Tinghe rarely leaves Huanyan Pavilion, but she has a lively and playful personality, so it's quite a challenge for her.
“Great! Miss, please come with us.”
"I won't go. You two have fun." After saying that, Ruan Xiyan looked at Yingxue and said, "Yingxue, relax."
“We’re not on a mission right now, so we don’t need to be so tense all the time. Learn more from Tinghe.”
When Tinghe heard that Ruan Xiyan had praised her, she was overjoyed. "Yes, yes, Yingxue, you are clearly a great beauty, but you always have a cold face."
“You should smile more, like this.” Tinghe said, demonstrating as she spoke, a bright smile spreading across her face.
Looking at Tinghe's encouraging gaze, Yingxue slightly tugged at the corners of her mouth, revealing a stiff smile.
Tinghe sighed, "Never mind, let's take it slow."
Yingxue awkwardly wiped the stiff smile off her face and reverted to her usual serious expression.
Suddenly, she said, "Miss, we entered the city first and discovered that there are people from the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts in the city."
"Not only that, on our way here, we also saw people from the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts lurking around near the Ice Feather Palace. They were acting suspiciously, and we don't know what they were up to."
"I understand, you guys go ahead and shop," Ruan Xiyan replied.
He immediately grabbed Yingxue's arm and happily went downstairs.
Ruan Xiyan sat in her room, a thoughtful look in her eyes.
How did the people from the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts end up here?
The Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts and the Ice Feather Palace are the three major powers, and they have always kept to themselves.
If they came for the Ice Feather Palace, Palace Master Yu would not have been unprepared for such a significant event, yet there is currently no unusual activity within the Ice Feather Palace.
Moreover, judging from Yingxue's description, they don't seem to be planning a large-scale attack on Bingyu Palace.
She remembered that Qi Xun, whom she had killed before, was from the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts, and the words he said before he died.
Could it be that those people from the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts came for her, wanting to avenge Qi Xun?
Ruan Xiyan's expression was ambiguous; whether it was true or not, they would find out tonight.
If they really came for her, her leaving Ice Feather Palace alone would be a perfect opportunity to make their move, and those people certainly wouldn't let it pass.
Ruan Xiyan stood up and looked around the room a few times.
Then, several obscure and difficult-to-understand array inscriptions were drawn on the wall.
If she guesses right, then tonight is going to be quite a show.
Night fell, the moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, and the wind began to blow – it was the perfect time to commit murder.
Inside the inn, Ruan Xiyan sat calmly in a chair, sipping her tea.
Tinghe and the others had already learned about the situation from Ruan Xiyan. "Miss, do you think those people from the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts will come?"
Yingxue leaned against the wall, silently wiping the long sword in her hand. "If they dare to assassinate Miss, I will make sure they never leave alive!"
The streets were quiet, but a series of irregular footsteps broke the peace and tranquility.
Ruan Xiyan put down her teacup. "Here it is!"
