As the two of them walked and talked, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them. Very quickly, the figure stopped in front of Lu Xuan and Zhao Binger.
Zhao Binger immediately stopped, and so did Lu Xuan. At the same time, they sized up the newcomer.
The newcomer was a middle-aged man. He wore an ordinary green robe. Although the workmanship was simple, it was very exquisite. It was obvious that it was made of some special material.
Just as Lu Xuan was sizing him up, Zhao Binger bowed and said, "Greetings, Elder Su."
Lu Xuan was slightly shocked. Elder Su? Could it be one of the three great elders, Elder Su Chuanan? He didn't hesitate and followed Zhao Binger to greet him.
Elder Su smiled and held out his hands. A gentle force was felt, causing both Lu Xuan and Zhao Binger to stand up straight at the same time.
"No need to be so polite." Su Chuanan laughed and said, "I just heard that the trial in the Mysterious Ice Secret Realm had ended, so I came to take a look. Disciple-Nephew Zhao, could this be the person who came in first place in the trial in the Mysterious Ice Secret Realm, Lu Xuan?"
Hearing this, Lu Xuan was a little shocked. Even Su Chuanan knew his name? This news spread too fast.
"I am indeed Lu Xuan. I was lucky enough to place first." Lu Xuan said as he pondered over Su Chuanan's intentions.
"Haha, very good. A third-rank sect disciple taking first place. This has never happened in the history of the Profound Ice Pavilion." Su Chuanan looked at Lu Xuan with interest and said, "The person who placed first can choose an elder to be their personal disciple. I heard that you chose Elder Zhao Ying?"
Hearing Su Chuanan's words, Lu Xuan didn't know how to answer. It seemed that no matter what he said, he would offend one of the three great elders.
Luckily, Su Chuanan didn't ask any more questions. He smiled again and said, "It's a good thing that heroes love beauties. However, it's not that easy to become Elder Zhao's disciple. Hmm … if Elder Zhao isn't willing to accept a disciple, you can consider joining me."
Su Chuanan's words stunned not only Lu Xuan, but even Zhao Binger.
At that moment, Han Feng and the other disciples who came out from the valley heard Su Chuanan's words clearly. A sliver of dense jealousy and indignation flashed within Han Feng's eyes. Where did Lu Xuan get such good luck to actually be able to receive Su Chuanan's attention? If that was the case, even if Lu Xuan was unable to become Zhao Ying's disciple, he would still be able to become a direct disciple. Moreover, he would be a direct disciple of Su Chuanan, who was also one of the three great elders.
Now, everyone guessed Su Chuanan's intentions for coming. As one of the three great elders, Su Chuanan actually came to rope in Lu Xuan?
Wasn't Lu Xuan's face a little too great? Logically speaking, since Lu Xuan chose Elder Zhao, there was absolutely no reason for the other elders to accept Lu Xuan. Especially Su Chuanan, who was one of the three great elders. The unspoken meaning behind Lu Xuan choosing Elder Zhao was that he thought Su Chuanan was inferior to Zhao Ying?
It was already not bad that Su Chuanan didn't bear a grudge against Lu Xuan. Who would have thought that he would actually specially come over to rope in Lu Xuan? There was only one explanation for this, and that was that Su Chuanan was truly thirsty for talent. Since he knew that Lu Xuan had obtained first place, then he would naturally know that Lu Xuan had defeated Han Feng, who was at the sixth level of the Spirit Refinement Realm, in a single move with a strength at the third level of the Spirit Refinement Realm.
Based on this battle alone, Lu Xuan's talent would be able to obtain the recognition of the majority of people. If he were to grow in the future, how terrifying would he be? Although Su Chuanan wanted to compete for the position of Pavilion Master, his influence was far inferior to Nangong Shuo's. Especially when Nangong Shuo had Leng Qingqiu, who was the number one disciple of the Profound Ice Pavilion. Even Zhao Ying had Zhao Binger. Only he, Su Chuanan, did not have any disciples that he was proud of. If he could take Lu Xuan as his disciple, it would undoubtedly greatly increase Su Chuanan's trump card.
Moreover, almost everyone thought that the reason why Lu Xuan chose Elder Zhao was because he wanted to be close to Zhao Binger, and not just for cultivation. This was also the reason why Su Chuanan didn't have many grudges in his heart.
"What virtue or ability does this disciple have to actually receive Elder Su's favor?" Lu Xuan hurriedly cried out in fear. No matter what, Su Chuanan had good intentions, and he definitely could not offend Su Chuanan.
"Haha, your strength is virtue and ability. Alright, remember my words. If you can become Elder Zhao Ying's disciple, it will naturally be a good thing. If Elder Zhao is not willing to accept a disciple, you can directly look for me when the time comes." Su Chuanan extended his hand and patted Lu Xuan's shoulder, then directly flew away. He had already achieved the goal of this trip.
Whether or not Lu Xuan could become Zhao Ying's disciple was a good thing for Su Chuanan. If he did not succeed, then he would be able to take Lu Xuan as his disciple. If Lu Xuan succeeded, then Su Chuanan's action would also be able to obtain a favorable impression from Lu Xuan. It was a transaction that would definitely not lose anything.
After Su Chuanan left, all the disciples cast envious gazes at Lu Xuan. After Su Chuanan's actions, Lu Xuan's identity as Zhao Ying's direct disciple was confirmed. Some of the disciples who originally wanted to see Lu Xuan make a fool out of himself were instantly speechless.
Lu Xuan naturally did not care about the gazes of the bystanders. Instead, he smiled at Zhao Bing`er and transmitted his voice, "It seems that they all think that I chose Elder Zhao for you."
Hearing this, Zhao Bing`er's expression immediately became unfriendly. "Is that not the case?"
"Of course it is!" Lu Xuan said without hesitation.
"Hmph, glib-tongued. You should first think about how to deal with Master. Who knows, when she sees you, she might directly skin you and pull out your tendons."
…
Not long after, under Zhao Bing`er's lead, the two of them arrived in front of a rather simple and unadorned palace.
"This is the place where Master and I usually train. I've already transmitted my voice to Master. Right now, she is waiting for you in the main hall. Later on, pay attention to what you say. Also, don't randomly call her Master. Also, don't call Master 'Old Lady'." Zhao Bing`er warned as they walked, and Lu Xuan memorized them one by one. He could not help but feel a little nervous in his heart. This feeling was more like meeting a parent than a master.
Lu Xuan felt a chill as he walked into the palace, which made him feel very comfortable. Only then did he notice that there were many ice crystals embedded in the walls of the palace, which were used as decorations. He figured that the chill was coming from those ice crystals.
After passing through a corridor, a spacious main hall appeared in front of Lu Xuan. Raising his head, he saw a rather young and beautiful woman sitting on a chair at the front of the main hall.
Lu Xuan was slightly startled in his heart. Could this be Zhao Bing`er's master, Elder Zhao Ying? She's actually so young?
He originally thought that even if Elder Zhao Ying was not an old granny in her seventies or eighties, she would at least be middle-aged. He did not expect that she looked at most thirty years old. Even if she was Zhao Bing`er's elder sister, people would probably believe it.
"Master, Lu Xuan is here." Zhao Bing`er said softly. She was a little nervous in her heart. Back then, she had already lost her virginity. Zhao Ying had seen through it with a glance. Under her continuous questioning, Zhao Bing`er had no choice but to tell the truth.
After knowing the truth, Zhao Ying was immediately enraged. She wanted to directly go to the Wind Sword School to arrest Lu Xuan. Fortunately, Zhao Bing`er kept persuading her and dispelled her thoughts.
