The question Lin Shuang asked was something that seemed utterly inconceivable to others.

It was simply a fantasy.

Yet, Lin Shuang had thought about it.

Moreover, when Lin Shuang mentioned it just now, she suddenly had a feeling—she believed in Wang Ye, and perhaps Wang Ye could really achieve it?

"Can he, alone, stand against those who wish to invade Earth Star?"

Lin Shuang's words slightly stunned Meng Qian.

Her first reaction was to tell Lin Shuang that her idea was unrealistic and outright unachievable.

But recalling Wang Ye's performance during this period and his temperament, Meng Qian questioned herself.

Wang Ye... could he really not do it?

The chances... are very slim!

But, no matter how slim the chances were, that still meant that there actually was a chance.

Meng Qian regained her composure, glanced at Lin Shuang, whose eyes had been fixed on her all this time. Even though they were speaking through a mental link, Lin Shuang's gaze had been constantly on her.

Waiting for her response.

Meng Qian smiled and said to Lin Shuang, "Don't worry, if he really reaches that level, then our Ice Sect, even standing by his side, why not?"

In an instant, a smile formed on the corners of Lin Shuang's mouth.

Elder Meng had agreed!

As long as Wang Ye's strength could rise to that step by then, Ice Sect would stand by Wang Ye's side.

Although Wang Ye was currently a mid-tier sixth-grade cultivator and there was a great chance he couldn't reach that realm, when Lin Shuang heard Meng Qian agree, a smile unconsciously appeared on her face, and she felt joy.

And Meng Qian, looking at the smile on Lin Shuang's face, was slightly dazed.

Lin Shuang... smiled.

The corners of her mouth, outlined with a smile.

It must be known that because of some issues, since Lin Shuang had joined the Ice Sect, she had never smiled and was unable to smile.

No matter what accomplishments Lin Shuang achieved.

From being an outer sect disciple to being promoted to an inner sect disciple.

And then from an inner sect disciple to becoming Meng Qian's direct disciple.

Throughout this process, Lin Shuang always achieved great results, but a smile never appeared on her face.

Meng Qian knew that Lin Shuang did want to smile.

Many times.

But Lin Shuang seemed to have lost that ability.

Yet now, Lin Shuang had just heard that, if Wang Ye could grow powerful enough by then, and their Ice Sect could stand by Wang Ye's side, she had smiled.

And it was a smile that couldn't be hidden.

This moment, Meng Qian was thrilled.

She couldn't help herself and even forgot the mental link as she said aloud to Lin Shuang, "Lin Shuang! You smiled, you just smiled!"

"What?"

Lin Shuang was startled.

She didn't know.

Actually, Lin Shuang had smiled many times.

It's just that when she smiled, she hadn't realized it herself.

And because there was no one else around Lin Shuang, no one else had realized it either.

This time, since Meng Qian was right beside Lin Shuang, she could see Lin Shuang had smiled.

After a brief moment of surprise, Lin Shuang came to her senses, and a smile emerged on her face again, "I really smiled?"

"Yes, really!"

Meng Qian said, her tone very certain.

"Then... then... I..."

Lin Shuang knew Meng Qian wouldn't deceive her.

Due to her excitement, she was somewhat incoherent and found herself unable to speak.

While Wang Ye was selecting a sword, he heard the commotion of the two women behind him. He glanced back and was surprised to see a smile appear on Lin Shuang's face.

"So, you can smile?"

Wang Ye asked.

During his interaction with Lin Shuang, Wang Ye had seen her attempt to smile, but fail. It was the same when he first met her.

In Wang Ye's view, Lin Shuang was always someone who didn't smile.

Now, however, he saw a smile on Lin Shuang's face that was very beautiful. It was as if all the other beautiful things in the world paled in comparison to her smiling face.

"She couldn't before," Meng Qian said.

Upon hearing this, a puzzled look appeared in Wang Ye's eyes as he looked at Lin Shuang.

"Then why can she smile now?"

Something good must have happened to Lin Shuang, who had always been unable to smile, to make her smile now.

Otherwise, why would she, who never used to smile, suddenly do so?

He looked at Lin Shuang, wanting an answer from her.

Since his time at the Ice Sect, Wang Ye had come to regard Lin Shuang as someone very close to him.

Being close to someone meant sharing certain things with each other.

Sharing joy with each other.

Lin Shuang's smile vanished instantly.

Her cheeks reddened a little.

Meng Qian, standing beside Lin Shuang, could feel Lin Shuang gripping her hand tightly, which indicated that Lin Shuang was very nervous and excited.

How was Lin Shuang supposed to answer Wang Ye's question?

Could she simply tell Wang Ye that her happiness stemmed from knowing that once Wang Ye reached a certain level of strength, the Ice Sect would support him?

After all, Lin Shuang was just a woman.

When Meng Qian had pursued Wang Yifeng, she had confessed directly to him, causing all the cultivators at Spirit Star to know about it, yet she could understand Lin Shuang's feelings.

Meng Qian gave Wang Ye an impatient look and said,

"Enough, why are you so nosy? Just go pick your sword!"

"A grown man, rather than working hard elsewhere, focuses his efforts on gossiping. It's simply disgraceful!"

"???"

Wang Ye was confused.

He just wanted to share the joy with Lin Shuang.

What did that have to do with him being gossipy?

Moreover, why did Lin Shuang stop smiling when he asked her a question?

Did he make some mistake?

Wang Ye touched his head, puzzled.

He continued searching.

Since Wang Ye had already confined his search to a specific area, finding a sword became much more convenient.

Soon.

Wang Ye's eyes settled on a sword.

It was a blue sword.

The blade was carved with waves, containing a strong essence of water.

Moreover, the handle was carved with several plum blossoms, emitting a faint chilliness.

Water Power, Ice Power.

This sword was a perfect union of both.
