Ruan Xiyan grabbed his hand with some skepticism and checked it with her strength. She indeed found no trace of spiritual power in his body.
"How was it? I didn't lie to you, did I?" Jun Yu said softly.
Ruan Xiyan was puzzled. This person's aura didn't seem like that of someone who couldn't even kill a chicken. Besides, if he didn't have strength, how could he have become a disciple of the Ice Feather Palace?
However, she did not detect any spiritual energy fluctuations within his body.
After failing to find anything, Ruan Xiyan was about to withdraw her hand when she suddenly felt a throbbing in her chest, which started as a faint, barely perceptible throbbing and then became strong and powerful.
Her pupils contracted. What was going on?!
She abruptly released Junyu's hand, and her heart returned to silence.
When I held it again, my heart started pounding.
Looking at their clasped hands, Jun Yu smiled and said, "Although I have no power to resist, isn't it a bit unfair for Ayan to take advantage of me like this?"
"Don't speak," Ruan Xiyan snapped.
She then carefully felt the burning throbbing in her chest, a heartbeat that made her feel like a living, breathing person, not a monster without a heartbeat.
Junyu looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of doting affection and indulgence.
After a long while, Ruan Xiyan let go of her hand.
She could feel her heartbeat as if it were inextricably linked to that red gemstone.
Could it be that the red gem she had previously absorbed was related to this man?
Ruan Xiyan looked at Jun Yu and asked, "Have you lost anything before?"
Junyu shook his head. "No, no one can make me lose anything unless I do it willingly."
He picked up the red fur coat from the ground, shook it, and gently draped it over Ruan Xiyan's shoulders. "You continue your cultivation. I'll go outside and see what we can eat."
After Jun Yu left, Ruan Xiyan resumed her cultivation.
After an unknown amount of time, Ruan Xiyan heard a noise coming from the doorway and opened her eyes to look.
Junyu came over carrying a plate of food. "I saw there wasn't much good food on the spirit ship, so I made some sticky rice chicken myself. Ayan, come and try some?"
Ruan Xiyan smelled the aroma wafting through the room and felt her stomach growl with hunger. She walked over to a chair and sat down.
Junyu's slender fingers peeled away the layers of lotus leaves wrapping the glutinous rice chicken, tore off a chicken leg, and handed it over.
"Thanks." Ruan Xiyan accepted it. "I didn't expect you to be such a good cook."
"It's something you learn through practice." Jun Yu smiled. "Try it and see how it tastes."
Ruan Xiyan opened her mouth and took a bite, her eyes lighting up. "Delicious!"
The taste is surprisingly familiar; it's like I've had it somewhere before.
But she couldn't remember where she had eaten such delicious sticky rice chicken.
"Eat more if you like it, all of this is yours." Jun Yu's eyes softened as he watched Ruan Xiyan eat happily.
This scene reminded him of something from a very, very long time ago.
"Ahem, ahem." An old man stood at the door, looking at the scene inside, and said, "Excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you."
Elder Qingming looked at Jun Yu, "The matter is urgent, and there is something I need to discuss with you."
Hu Mo told him what he saw, I really didn't expect that!
Many female disciples in the inner sect had a good impression of the elegant and aloof Jun Yu, but he never gave them a second glance. Who would have thought that this time he would fall in love with a girl who had just entered the sect.
However, this girl is indeed very beautiful, even more so than the inner sect female disciples.
If it weren't for an urgent matter, he really wouldn't want to bother him and ruin Jun Yu's hard-won good deed.
Jun Yu said calmly, "Elder Qingming, please speak freely."
"I just received a distress signal from a disciple of Ice Feather Palace. The signal came from the Blizzard Plains, so the disciple on a mission must have encountered an unexpected danger that is difficult to deal with."
"So crushing the special jade token given to the disciples by Ice Feather Palace is an emergency signal. No one would crush it unless absolutely necessary, but once it is crushed, nearby Ice Feather Palace disciples need to rush to provide support as much as possible."
“We are currently the closest to the Blizzard Plains, so we can go there first to check the situation. However, the Blizzard Plains is a dangerous place, and the spirit ship is full of newly initiated disciples who are not very strong. I would like you to take them back to Ice Feather Palace first.”
A blizzard-swept plain! Ruan Xiyan, who was standing nearby, overheard their conversation and was quite interested in this dangerous place.
"Elder Qingming, may I come along? I won't hold you back," Ruan Xiyan said.
Elder Qingming was drawn to Ruan Xiyan's voice, but was surprised to find that he, a powerful cultivator at the Creation Realm, could not see through her strength.
Could it be that this little girl possesses a treasure that conceals her true strength? Such treasures are quite rare.
He had a feeling that this girl was extraordinary from the first glance.
"Young lady, this is your first time in the far north, so you probably don't know that the blizzard plains are an extremely dangerous place. Not only is the temperature extremely low, but there are also elusive snow monsters that attack people. Aren't you afraid of encountering danger?"
"Don't worry, the path of cultivation is never smooth. Danger is always around cultivators, otherwise what kind of cultivation would it be?"
Elder Qingming nodded in satisfaction. This young girl is not old, but she has a clear understanding of things and a tenacious character. If she is properly nurtured, she will definitely become a powerful figure.
"Alright, it's not bad to go and train in dangerous places. If there's any danger, you can hide behind me." Elder Qingming stroked his beard and said, a thought of treasuring talent forming in his mind.
“Elder Qingming, I will go to the Blizzard Plains with you. As for these newly initiated disciples, let Hu Mo take them back to the Ice Feather Palace,” Jun Yu said, changing his mind.
“That works too,” Elder Qingming replied. Although he didn’t know why this person had suddenly changed his mind, he had always been an unpredictable person.
Even the Palace Master didn't truly understand this person's strength and background, let alone him.
After Elder Qingming made all the arrangements, they disembarked from the flying spirit ship.
The blizzard-stricken plains are covered with thick ice and snow, with snowflakes falling year-round, creating a vast expanse of white that makes it impossible to discern directions.
Yetis are the most dangerous creatures in this perilous land. They are entirely white and are masters of concealment, blending seamlessly into the snow and making them very difficult to spot.
Therefore, they are extremely vulnerable to sneak attacks.
Elder Qingming used his power to determine the exact location from which the signal originated and headed towards a direction in the blizzard plains.
Ruan Xiyan followed closely behind Elder Qingming, while carefully observing her surroundings.
Although this blizzard-stricken plain is dangerous, the frigid temperature is just right for her to improve her strength and practice the Frostfall Sword.
With the Frostfall Sword unsealed, her blood and soul were imbued with icy coldness, and being in a cold place could accelerate her cultivation speed.
