Chapter 1537 — Refusal
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Feng Xiaoxiao, I intend to take a disciple on my master's behalf, bringing you into the Ice Palace to study the supreme art of our Ice Palace!" the Ice Palace Master said. "What do you say?"
"I..." Feng Xiaoxiao was stunned on the spot. It had all come too suddenly, leaving her with no mental preparation at all, and she found it utterly baffling. Why would the Ice Palace suddenly want her to join?
Seeing Feng Xiaoxiao's expression, the Ice Palace Master assumed she was simply overwhelmed with excitement at the news. After all, the Ice Palace was an ancient sect, and countless people scrambled merely to compete for ten places as outer disciples, while Feng Xiaoxiao could not only become an inner disciple directly but would also be the Ice Palace Master's own junior sister, a position all but equal to the next Palace Master!
"I... why should I join the Ice Palace? Where is my hubby Wei Zhao? I want to see him!" Feng Xiaoxiao said blankly, unable to understand why the Ice Palace would suddenly make such a demand.
Feng Xiaoxiao's answer left both the Ice Palace Master and Xiao Qing stunned! From the sound of it, she did not want to join the Ice Palace? Could it be that they had all been indulging in wishful thinking?
"Feng Xiaoxiao, do you even understand your own condition?" the Ice Palace Master said with exasperated disappointment. "You possess a yin-cold constitution, a marvel unseen in a thousand years. That constitution was born to cultivate the supreme art of the Ice Palace! Under the guidance of the Ice Palace's art, all the yin-cold qi within you will be transformed into your own true qi, bringing your speed of cultivation benefits beyond imagination! Once you accept the legacy of the Ice Snow Spirit Mountain, you will be the next Ice Palace Master!"
"I..." Feng Xiaoxiao was also shaken by the Ice Palace Master's words. She had never imagined that she too could cultivate, and that she seemed to be a once-in-a-generation prodigy who might even become Master of the Ice Palace! So she could not help but ask instinctively, "Then... can I also become a Mystic-tier master?"
"Mystic-tier?" The Ice Palace Master froze, then laughed despite herself. "Your future attainments will surely surpass my own, and I am presently at the peak of late Heaven-tier!"
"Heaven-tier... peak of late Heaven-tier?" Feng Xiaoxiao's eyes widened in astonishment. Through her father and Wei Zhao she knew rather more about cultivators than most, and even Mystic-tier masters were already a rare sight in the secular world, yet the Ice Palace Master was a Heaven-tier master, and one standing at the very summit of Heaven-tier! From what she said, could she herself also become a Heaven-tier master one day?
"Exactly! Moreover, you may well become an existence beyond Heaven-tier!" the Ice Palace Master said.
Feng Xiaoxiao hesitated a moment, then said, "I have to ask my hubby Wei Zhao. If he tells me to stay, then I will stay."
"This is your own affair, why ask him?" Hearing Feng Xiaoxiao's words, the Ice Palace Master was nearly beside herself with anger. What she truly feared was that once Feng Xiaoxiao asked, Wei Zhao would refuse, and then matters would become truly difficult!
Judging by Feng Xiaoxiao's manner, if Wei Zhao did not agree, then even if she were kept here by force, she would never cultivate with a settled heart!
"I want to see him." No matter what the Ice Palace Master said, Feng Xiaoxiao insisted stubbornly.
"Do you realize the yin-cold qi inside you has only been suppressed for the moment? If you go back, you may not survive!" The Ice Palace Master hardly knew what else to say. "Will you agree or not?"
"I want to ask my hubby Wei Zhao." Feng Xiaoxiao repeated all the same.
"..." The Ice Palace Master was left speechless. Patting a forehead creased with exasperation, she said helplessly to Xiao Qing, "Aunt Qing, bring Wei Zhao in!"
