Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the final results of the arena competition have been announced.
A total of 630 people from the Yunli Empire were selected as outer disciples of the Ice Feather Palace.
People from Ice Feather Palace came to bid farewell to Ling Yunchen, and Ruan Xiyan boarded the flying spirit ship with those disciples.
Watching the flying spirit ship disappear from sight, Ling Yunchen remained lost in thought for a long time.
As children grow up, they eventually need to venture out into the world and experience its vastness.
But as a father, letting go is an act of respect, while reluctance and worry are instinctive...
On the flying spirit ship, the newly initiated disciples leaned against the railing, looking at the beautiful scenery in the distance and gazing around at the ship's layout.
They all exclaimed that it was incredibly extravagant to use such a large flying spirit ship to pick up these new disciples.
"Your Highness, you have also become a disciple of the Ice Feather Palace." A familiar voice, filled with surprise, rang out.
Seeing Lin Muze running excitedly over from the side, Ruan Xiyan was a little surprised, then nodded.
"Great! From now on, we'll be fellow disciples." Lin Muze said with a grin.
"I must thank the Lin family for their help with the Luo family's matter last time," Ruan Xiyan said.
"You're too kind, it's nothing. Besides, if I want to be friends with Her Highness the Princess, I have to show my sincerity." Lin Muze waved his hand dismissively.
"Now that we've left the Yunli Empire, you don't need to call me 'Princess' all the time. Just call me by my name."
"Okay, Xiyan, you can just call me Muze. I'm older than you. Or you can call me Senior Brother Lin, I don't mind either." Lin Muze's tone was smug, and he had a frivolous look on his face.
Ruan Xiyan was speechless and asked, "You are the only young master of the Lin family. Your father was willing to send you to the Ice Feather Palace for training."
The Ice Feather Palace is indeed a cold environment, so one has to endure even more hardship.
Lin Muze replied, "My father definitely disagreed, but I was determined to go. He couldn't persuade me otherwise, so he had no choice but to agree to let me go."
"Don't let my wealth fool you. I've traveled all over the world with my master since I was a child. This trip to Ice Feather Palace was at my master's request."
"Let's not talk about me anymore. What about you? Why did you give up your life of luxury as a princess to go to the Ice Feather Palace?"
“Cultivate, improve my strength.” Ruan Xiyan’s tone was firm.
Lin Muze smiled and said, "That does sound like your answer."
He didn't have such lofty ambitions; he just wanted to eat, drink, have fun, and live a carefree life.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't disobey his master's orders, he really wouldn't want to go to the Ice Feather Palace.
However, with Xiyan now in the Ice Feather Palace, the future life there doesn't seem so unacceptable anymore.
Although the flying spirit ship is fast, it will still take more than ten days to reach the Ice Feather Palace.
Therefore, there are rooms on the spirit ship for people to rest during this period, and newly initiated disciples are four people to a room.
"You must be Ruan Xiyan." A man dressed in the robes of an inner disciple walked over.
The disciples of the inner and outer sects of Ice Feather Palace wear light blue robes, but there are subtle differences.
The sleeves of the outer disciples' robes have no patterns, while the sleeves and belts of the inner disciples' robes have white water ripple and cloud patterns, making them more exquisite and beautiful.
"It's me, what's the matter?"
"I am Hu Mo, and I am in charge of arranging various matters on the spirit ship. It is like this: this time, more disciples have been recruited than before, so there are not enough rooms on the spirit ship. We can only temporarily arrange for you and Senior Brother Jun to share a room."
"But don't worry, Senior Brother Jun is a very nice person. He was the one who offered to share his room with you."
Elders and inner disciples all have separate rooms on the spirit ship. Ruan Xiyan frowned, wondering what this person wanted to do.
Inside the room, Ruan Xiyan walked in. Jun Yu was sitting leisurely in a chair, with pastries and spiritual fruits laid out on the table in front of him.
He pushed the plate towards Ruan Xiyan, "Want some?"
Ruan Xiyan sat down opposite him. "Let's chat."
"Okay." Jun Yu said gently.
"What are you trying to do by making these inexplicable moves time and time again?"
Jun Yu said innocently, "I didn't mean to do anything. I'm just a kind-hearted person. I couldn't bear to see Ayan sleeping on the bow of the boat, so I did a good deed."
Seeing Jun Yu's effortless and nonchalant manner, Ruan Xiyan knew that she wouldn't get anything out of him now, so she had no choice but to give up.
"Don't call me Ayan, we're not that close yet."
“Okay, Ayan.” Junyu replied obediently, agreeing readily, but still addressed her as Ayan as usual, “Ayan, are you hungry? Why don’t you have some pastries first?”
Hearing Jun Yu repeatedly call her "Ayan," Ruan Xiyan took a deep breath.
Looking at the extra side bedroom in the room, she walked over there, closed her eyes, and meditated on the bed, trying to avoid seeing it and getting annoyed.
Now that she had a comfortable room to stay in, she didn't want to compromise herself just to stay away from this man.
Jun Yu smiled as he looked at Ruan Xiyan's angry expression.
Although Ruan Xiyan was meditating and cultivating, she did not completely let her guard down.
The night passed quietly.
Ruan Xiyan was absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, gradually transforming the absorbed spiritual energy into her own power.
She suddenly noticed someone had walked up to her bedside.
She suddenly opened her eyes, grabbed the person's wrist, and pushed them down onto the bed.
She braced her arm against Jun Yu's fragile neck. "What are you going to do now!"
Jun Yu was pinned to the bed, his hands raised above his head, his deep, unfathomable eyes revealing a harmless expression. "I'm innocent, Ayan. The closer we get to the Ice Feather Palace, the lower the temperature gets."
“Even cultivators feel uncomfortable and need to resist the cold. I was worried that Ayan would be cold, so I put a fur coat on you.”
Jun Yu gestured with his eyes to the fur coat that had fallen to the ground due to the large movement.
Ruan Xiyan looked at the fur coat, and there was a moment of silence. Just then, Hu Mo pushed the door open and came in.
"Senior Brother Jun, I... I'm sorry to bother you."
Ruan Xiyan pressed down on Jun Yu with domineering force, while Jun Yu lay on the bed looking completely submissive.
Upon seeing the scene inside the room, Hu Mo was stunned for a moment, then quickly covered his eyes with one hand and closed the door with the other before leaving.
At the same time, he muttered, "Senior Brother Jun, I didn't see anything. You guys continue, continue."
After leaving the room, Hu Mo had a gossipy look on his face.
This imperial princess is quite something! She actually pounced on Senior Brother Jun!
The door closed, and the room fell silent again.
Ruan Xiyan coughed lightly, released her hand from Jun Yu, and said somewhat awkwardly, "You should have said so earlier. I don't like people getting close when I'm cultivating, so my reaction was a bit strong."
Junyu got out of bed and said slowly, "Actually, you don't need to be so wary of me. I have never had any ill intentions towards you."
"Besides, I have no strength and pose no threat to you. If you don't believe me, check for yourself." Jun Yu stretched out his hand in front of Ruan Xiyan.
