"You can say it's easy, but you can also say it's hard. As long as you can get her approval, it's fine. Although you've chosen Elder Zhao, it's still unknown whether you'll succeed or not. If Elder Zhao doesn't approve of you, the other elders may not accept you either. So you have to think carefully about whether you want to choose Elder Zhao or not." Elder Gu said.
Without a doubt, this was a gamble. Elder Zhao's strength was among the top three in the Ice Pavilion. She only had one outstanding disciple, Zhao Bing`er. Once he became her disciple, not only would he receive excellent training and guidance, he would also have the opportunity to get close to Zhao Bing`er.
But if he failed, the other elders would definitely not accept Lu Xuan. Since you didn't like us before, why are you still trying to be her disciple?
If he succeeded, he would become Zhao Bing`er's junior disciple. If he failed, he would lose the chance to become a direct disciple and would only be a normal core disciple.
Just as the disciples were guessing Lu Xuan's decision, Lu Xuan said without hesitation, "I'm sure I want Elder Zhao to be my teacher."
"Haha, you're brave. It's reasonable for a young man to fall in love with a beautiful woman." Elder Gong laughed and teased Lu Xuan, which was rare for him. It was apparent that he thought that Lu Xuan had insisted on choosing Elder Zhao Ying as his master so that he could have a chance to get intimate with Zhao Binger. Of course, he was right.
The disciples of the Profound Ice Pavilion began to discuss and laugh from time to time.
"Lu Xuan really doesn't know how to be satisfied. He's already a direct disciple, but he's still not satisfied. He wants to get close to Zhao Bing`er."
"That's understandable. If I have this chance, I'll try it too. If I can really win Zhao Bing`er's heart, I'll be satisfied even if I can't become a direct disciple."
"You? Forget it. Even if Elder Zhao likes you, Zhao Bing`er won't like you. "
"On the other hand, I think Lu Xuan is out of luck. He's a newcomer who has just arrived and doesn't have the slightest foundation. How dare he set his eyes on Senior Sister Zhao? Does he really think that Senior Brother Leng is useless?"
At the mention of Senior Brother Leng, all the disciples became silent. They also knew a little about the matter between Leng Qingqiu and Zhao Bing`er. Although it seemed that Zhao Bing`er didn't like Leng Qingqiu, it didn't mean that Leng Qingqiu could tolerate Lu Xuan staying by Zhao Bing`er's side.
A sinister smile flashed across Han Feng's face. Lu Xuan's choice was indeed great news to him.
If Lu Xuan was rejected by Elder Zhao, then he would not be able to become a direct disciple, and once he obtained Elder Zhao's approval, then he would have to face Leng Qingqiu's revenge. No matter which result it was, it was extremely good for Han Feng.
Since the first place had already been decided, the following matters were logical. First, the disciples of the Profound Ice Pavilion handed over their respective resources, followed by the disciples of the five great third-grade sects who wanted to join the Profound Ice Pavilion.
This time, there were also quite a few disciples who joined the Profound Ice Pavilion. The Wind Sword School had Chen Xiaohan and Xia Chenxi, the Heavenly Blade Sect had Luo Ning and Wei Suo, and the Sun Moon Villa had one person. As for the remaining two great sects, Cloud Perching Valley and Crimson Firmament Palace, there was no one.
After everything was done, Elder Gu announced that the trip to the Profound Ice Secret Realm, which opened once every four years, was officially over. The group of Profound Ice Pavilion disciples bowed and left. As for the five new disciples who joined the Profound Ice Pavilion, they were led by attendants to carry out various procedures and let them familiarize themselves with everything in the Profound Ice Pavilion.
As for Lu Xuan, he naturally didn't need these ordinary attendants to lead him.
"Lu Xuan, follow me, I'll bring you to see Master," Zhao Bing`er said with a slight smile. If there were no accidents, Lu Xuan would be her junior brother in the future, and they would both be under Elder Zhao Ying's tutelage.
"Lu Xuan, follow Bing'er. I wish you good luck," Elder Gu said with a smile.
Lu Xuan nodded and looked at Zhao Bing`er in front of him with a smile. He had finally reached this step. Although the difference in strength between him and Zhao Bing`er was still very big, and it was extremely difficult to defeat Leng Qingqiu, as time passed, the gap would quickly shrink.
In front of outsiders, Zhao Bing`er couldn't show too much abnormality. She just nodded at Lu Xuan, then turned around and walked out of the valley. Lu Xuan followed closely behind.
"Bing`er, how was it? My strength didn't disappoint you, right?" Lu Xuan secretly transmitted his voice to Zhao Bing`er. There was a hint of pride in his tone. He had used half a year to reach this step, and was definitely worthy of the word "not bad".
Zhao Bing`er smiled in her heart. She felt that Lu Xuan was a bit like a child, but she was indeed very happy in her heart.
"I really didn't expect you to improve so much. Originally, I was worried that you would not participate in the Profound Ice Secret Realm, but I didn't expect that not only did you come, but you also won in one fell swoop and directly became a direct disciple."
"I can only say that it was a coincidence. I have other opportunities in the Profound Ice Secret Realm, and when the time comes, I will give you a big surprise!" Lu Xuan said with a mysterious smile.
"Surprise me?" Zhao Bing`er was a bit surprised. She didn't know how Lu Xuan was going to surprise her. As a direct disciple of the Profound Ice Pavilion, coupled with the fact that she was doted on by Elder Zhao Ying, she could get almost anything she wanted. She didn't know what Lu Xuan was going to surprise her. However, no matter how Zhao Bing`er asked, Lu Xuan refused to say. Since it was a surprise, he naturally had to find a suitable opportunity to take it out.
Under Zhao Bing`er's lead, Lu Xuan followed her through the many buildings of the Profound Ice Pavilion. As expected of a fourth-grade sect, the Profound Ice Pavilion was far from what the Wind Sword School could compare to. The various buildings were extremely gorgeous, and the Profound Ice Pavilion's territory was also extremely vast, almost a few times the size of the Wind Sword School!
"Such a huge place, yet it can make the essence force concentration twice that of the outside world. How many resources are needed!" Lu Xuan couldn't help but sigh.
Zhao Bing`er explained, "Under the ground of the Profound Ice Pavilion, there is a large scale energy gathering array. It is because of the existence of this array that it can absorb all the nearby essence force into the Profound Ice Pavilion, creating a higher concentration of essence force. It is not because of the consumption of resources."
"I see." Lu Xuan nodded. This was the foundation. In the Wind Sword School, there was no one who could even inscribe an energy gathering array, let alone such a huge one.
"Lu Xuan, since you have joined the Profound Ice Pavilion, then I will tell you some things about the Profound Ice Pavilion. You need to have some knowledge in your heart, so that you don't have to be ignorant." Zhao Bing`er said softly.
"There are many elders in the Profound Ice Pavilion. Those who have reached the Origin Realm will be given the title of an elder. Of course, the status of a disciple is not included. For example, I have not been given the title of an elder yet. I will have to wait until I am no longer a disciple."
"Although there are many elders, many of them do not care about the affairs and have no real power. Furthermore, the current Pavilion Master does not appear often and has always been roaming the world. It is said that he has reached the peak of the Origin Realm, but he might have broken through to the Origin Realm. I am not too sure. Below the Pavilion Master, there are three elders who are the strongest. They are all at the ninth level of the Origin Realm. Most of the matters are handled by the three elders. Among them, Elder Nangong Shuo is the leader, while the other two elders are assistants."
"Nangong Shuo? Is that the person who came to the Hengduan Mountain Range to look for you? "Lu Xuan turned his head and asked.
Zhao Bing`er nodded, "That's right, it is him. Nangong Shuo is very ambitious, which is why he has a lot of influence in the Profound Ice Pavilion. Whether it is the elders with real power or not, many of them are on his side. And Leng Qingqiu, who is the current big shixiong of the Profound Ice Pavilion, is his disciple. But the current Pavilion Master will not be stepping down anytime soon. It is impossible for Nangong Shuo to become the Pavilion Master. Hence, he has placed his hopes on Leng Qingqiu, hoping that Leng Qingqiu can take over the position of Pavilion Master. This way, as Leng Qingqiu's master, he will naturally be able to indirectly control the Profound Ice Pavilion."
Lu Xuan nodded in his heart, and then asked, "Who are the other two elders?"
"One of them is naturally my master, and the other is Elder Su Chuanan. Elder Su is slightly younger than Nangong Shuo, and also has the intention to compete for the position of Pavilion Master. But because Elder Su is one of the three newly promoted elders, his foundation cannot be compared to Nangong Shuo. Although there are quite a few elders on his side, they cannot be compared to Nangong Shuo. He can be considered as Nangong Shuo's greatest rival."
"Only my master has no interest in the position of pavilion master. All along, she has not managed any faction, and I am the only direct disciple under her. Unlike Nangong Shuo and Su Chuanan, who have quite a few direct disciples. Thus, both Nangong Shuo and Su Chuanan wish to obtain my master's support. Although my master does not have any faction, her strength alone is comparable to quite a few elders."
Zhao Bing`er wasn't wrong. Zhao Ying was at the ninth level of the Origin Realm, and was only one step away from the peak stage of the Origin Realm. Those newly promoted Origin Realm elders were completely incomparable to her. If they could obtain her support, it would definitely be a great power.
"Then ….. who does master want to support?" Lu Xuan asked.
Hearing this, Zhao Bing`er couldn't help but smile, "You haven't even placed yourself under master yet? Who would be so shameless as to directly call her master? "
Lu Xuan didn't mind and said, "I believe master will definitely approve of me."
"That might not be the case. Master has not accepted any disciples for so many years. This stage is not so easy to pass! Especially for you. "Finishing her sentence, Zhao Bing`er winked at Lu Xuan.
Seeing this, Lu Xuan's heart skipped a beat, as if he had thought of something. He widened his eyes and said, "Could it be that master knows of our relationship?"
"I am no longer a virgin. Do you think you can hide it from master?" Zhao Bing`er said impatiently. In the end, it was all Lu Xuan's fault. But she seemed to have forgotten that Lu Xuan was the one who was pushed down...
Lu Xuan laughed awkwardly. He had secretly eaten her only disciple when she wasn't around. If he didn't give her an explanation, he wouldn't be able to get away with it so easily.
