Chapter 2306: Chapter 2302: Palace Master’s Presence

Xiao Yi nodded subconsciously, listening intently to Lu Long’s earnest recounting.

Lu Long looked at Xiao Yi and continued, "In the past, everyone in the Sword Pavilion knew about Lu Yao’s feelings for Lingg Shuang."

"In the eyes of outsiders, the two of them seemed perfectly matched, a pair admired by all."

"However, Lingg Shuang has always been single-minded about Martial Arts and never accepted these feelings."

"But no one could have expected that everything in the past was just an illusion, which led to Lingg Shuang being deceived and bewitched by Lu Yao."

"In fact," Lu Long sighed again, "this girl Lingg Shuang seems to be the top Heavenly Talent of the Endless Snow Mountain, with a cold demeanor like an Ice Mountain."

"In reality, she’s more fragile than anyone, appearing strong on the outside but inwardly vulnerable."

"Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so easily deceived by Lu Yao."

"Fragile?" Xiao Yi listened absent-mindedly and almost laughed out loud at this moment.

This Lu Lingshuang, every time they met, was always ready to fight to the death.

From his understanding, if this is considered fragile, then there probably isn’t a fragile girl in the world.

But seeing Lu Long’s somber expression, Xiao Yi held back his laughter.

Lu Long took a deep breath and said, "Does the Palace Master remember her Martial Soul? That Sword Tomb."

"Of the eighteen Sword Steles, one belongs to her mother, one of the most outstanding Sword Cultivators of our Ice Storm Sword Pavilion."

"She’s carrying a lot on her shoulders."

"These burdens make her feel distressed, yet she still always has to pretend to be strong and invincible with a cold facade."

Xiao Yi waved his hand and said, "I somewhat understand what you’re saying, Guardian Lu Long."

"Rest assured, I, Xiao Yi, won’t bother to argue with a couple of young girls."

"Let the enmity end here."

Upon hearing this, Lu Long’s face lit up with joy, "That’s great, this old man thanks the Palace Master on behalf of those two girls."

"Then, as for what this old man discussed with the Palace Master before, has the Palace Master agreed?"

"What matter?" Xiao Yi was momentarily stunned, then asked in confusion.

Lu Long laughed and said, "Naturally, it’s about marrying Lingg Shuang."

"This girl Lingg Shuang, with her excellent temperament, previous misunderstandings have now been resolved."

"As long as the Palace Master doesn’t hold it against her, she will surely comply with the Palace Master’s wishes in the future."

"In terms of appearance, Lingg Shuang is second to none among the world’s women."

"In terms of talent, you’ve seen it yourself, Palace Master. Among the younger generation of today, not just among women, even among men, few can match her."

"In the future, she will definitely take good care of the Palace Master and accompany you on the long path of Martial Arts, overcoming obstacles together..."

"Hold on, wait..." Xiao Yi interrupted repeatedly, "Guardian Lu Long, are you saying so much just for this matter?"

"Guardian Lu Long, it seems there has been a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding about what?" Lu Long frowned.

"You fool." At this moment, Guardian Bing and Guardian Nangong suddenly reappeared, "This old man, I wondered why you didn’t enter the Ice Palace Fourth Floor."

"Turns out you were eyeing the Palace Master."

"You..." Lu Long’s expression turned cold.

Xiao Yi looked serious, "Guardian Lu Long, don’t talk to me about these matters anymore."

"I’m not interested, and I don’t want to hear it again, remember that."

After speaking, Xiao Yi flashed away.

...

"This old guy." Xiao Yi shook his head helplessly after leaving the Ice Palace.

He originally thought Lu Long wanted to discuss something with him, but it turned out to be this.

To Xiao Yi, it was no different from a pointless waste of time.

Leaving the Ice Palace, he arrived at the square of the Ice Emperor Palace.

On the plaza above the Sect, there was already a gigantic Sub-Saint Artifact flying ship.

"Palace Master." On the ship, Xia Yiming bowed and said, "Everything is ready, just waiting for the Palace Master to depart."

Whoosh... Xiao Yi flashed onto the ship, looked at Xia Yiming, and said, "I can leave at any time, just waiting for you. Is everything prepared?"

"Yes." Xia Yiming nodded coldly, "Everything is prepared for the Palace Master."

The next second.

A clear and melodious voice echoed in unison, "Greetings, Palace Master."

"Hm?" Xiao Yi frowned slightly.

On the ship stood dozens of young women, all with graceful figures, beautiful faces, and dressed in light white clothing.

"What is this?" Xiao Yi frowned slightly.

If he wasn’t mistaken, these should all be disciples of the Ice Emperor Palace.

The Ice Emperor Palace, located deep within the Endless Snow Mountain, means most of the martial artists here have fair skin and are handsome men and women.

The men have faces like jade, with sword-like eyes exuding a refined aura.

And there’s no need to say much about the women, their entire being like they walked out of the snow, fair-skinned and beautiful, with figures graceful and exquisite from drinking the long snow water.

Among these dozens of women, any one of them, if placed outside, wouldn’t be considered of royal beauty, but certainly of captivating allure that charms fish and birds.

"Reporting to the Palace Master." Xia Yiming cupped his hands respectfully and said, "The Clan Leader said, since the Palace Master is traveling, naturally servants are needed to serve along the journey."

"Moreover, the Palace Master, being young, may find it hard to resist at times."

"These dozens of disciples were carefully selected by Yiming within the Palace, all of them are among the best disciples..."

"Nonsense." Xiao Yi reprimanded harshly.

Xia Yiming frowned slightly, "Is the Palace Master not satisfied?"

"Uh." Xia Yiming looked troubled, "Yiming isn’t very good at picking these, perhaps the Palace Master should choose personally..."

Xiao Yi interrupted, "Xia Yiming, what are you thinking?"

"What I mean is, I don’t need them."

In front, dozens of women showed fear, "Palace Master, please forgive us, have we offended the Palace Master?"

Among these dozens of women, the fear on their faces was genuine.

Xiao Yi frowned. He had heard before that the hierarchy in the Ice Emperor Palace was strict.

Someone like the Sixteen Venerable Envoys, or core disciples from the three families, might be fine; but other ordinary martial artists who violated palace rules could lose their lives at the elders’ or protectors’ word.

"It’s none of your concern." Xiao Yi said solemnly, "Leave now, if anyone dares to trouble you for this, it will be a challenge to the Palace Master Token."

"Thank you, Palace Master." Dozens of women quickly kowtowed, then got up and left in succession.

However, as they left, more than half of them had expressions of disappointment on their faces, occasionally glancing back at Xiao Yi.

Perhaps, to them, serving the Palace Master was an honor.

Not to mention that this Palace Master wasn’t some old man, but a young man, a handsome and elegant gentleman with an extraordinary Martial Arts Talent and a formidable reputation.

Until those dozens of women had left quite far, a few weak whispers occasionally reached the ears.

"I heard the Palace Master is in great health and can last all night..."

"If I could serve the Palace Master and earn his favor, how wonderful that would be..."

The voices were very faint.

If they weren’t already far away, those dozens of women probably wouldn’t dare to say a word.

But with Xiao Yi and Xia Yiming’s strength, they could obviously hear clearly no matter how far.

"Palace Master, do you really not need them?" Xia Yiming asked again.

Xiao Yi’s face darkened, "What do you think?"

Xia Yiming nodded coldly, "Then let’s proceed like this."

Xia Yiming pointed to the ship and said, "This ship looks like a Sub-Saint Artifact, but it’s actually the Supreme Treasure of our Xia Family."

"Its tier is infinitely close to a Top-grade Holy Artifact, extremely sturdy, with excellent defense capabilities. In terms of speed, it’s not inferior to the full-speed flight of a Late-stage Saint Sovereign Realm martial artist..."

Xiao Yi interrupted again, impatiently saying, "That’s enough, nothing is needed, just follow me."
