"So that's how it is." Zhao Binger nodded in realization. She had been skeptical about the news as well. She had fought Lu Xuan before, so she knew how powerful he was. Even if he had made a breakthrough later on, there was no way he could have been a match for three cultivators at the ninth tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm. However, since it was Bing Ling who did it, it made sense.
"Then where is Senior Bing Ling now?" Zhao Binger asked again.
Lu Xuan pointed at the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword on his back and said, "Senior Bing Ling has exhausted her strength and has returned to the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword to recuperate. I'm afraid she won't be able to wake up anytime soon. This time, in order to help me, Senior Bing Ling also consumed a lot of her strength."
Looking at the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword that was wrapped in layers by Lu Xuan, Zhao Binger sighed and said, "Don't take any more risks in the future. If it wasn't for Senior Bing Ling, I'm afraid you would have died."
Lu Xuan nodded solemnly. If Bing Ling didn't help, Lu Xuan would not have been able to save everyone in the Wind Sword School. Even he himself might not have been able to escape. This life-saving grace, Lu Xuan naturally remembered it.
But then he smiled mischievously and asked Zhao Binger, "If I really died, what would you do?"
Zhao Binger glanced at him and said, "I will go to the Nine Star Sword School and kill their Sovereign."
If Zhao Binger really did have this strength, if she was determined to do something, no one would be able to stop her. At that time, Elder Zhao Ying would definitely stand on her side.
Hearing this, Lu Xuan was even happier. He shamelessly went up to Zhao Binger and kissed her face. His hands moved up and down to take advantage of Zhao Binger. With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?
Zhao Binger was a little overwhelmed by Lu Xuan's fierce attacks. She blushed and pushed him away, saying, "Don't mess around. You've just come back. You should go visit master first."
Hearing the word 'master', Lu Xuan stopped. When Lu Xuan left, Zhao Ying said that as long as Lu Xuan's matter was settled, she would officially accept Lu Xuan as a disciple. After meeting Zhao Ying, Lu Xuan would be a true direct disciple of the Profound Ice Pavilion, no longer a quasi-direct disciple.
"That's true. Then I'll go find Master now. I'll come back to torment you at night. Hehe." Lu Xuan kissed Zhao Bing`er on the cheek again before standing up.
"Wait a moment, I'll take you there," Zhao Bing`er also stood up and tidied up her clothes that were messed up by Lu Xuan. Only then did she bring Lu Xuan out.
As they walked towards Zhao Ying's cultivation room, Zhao Bing`er talked to Lu Xuan.
"Since you're the second disciple Master has accepted after such a long time, and you're also a male disciple, the sect has paid more attention to you. Furthermore, the shadows of the Profound Ice Pavilion and the Extreme Monarch Sect are also behind the battle between the Wind Sword Sect and the Nine Star Sword Sect. So, basically everything you need to know about your performance in the battle is known."
Lu Xuan was slightly surprised. He originally thought that a small figure like him would not attract too much attention, but he did not expect the Profound Ice Pavilion to have already noticed his every move. No wonder even Duan Geng knew that he had single-handedly challenged three powerhouses in the ninth tier of the Spirit Refinement realm.
In fact, the main reason why everyone paid attention to Lu Xuan was not because of him, but because of Zhao Ying. Although Zhao Ying was one of the three great elders, she never had any intention of fighting for power. She only had one disciple, Zhao Bing`er. She was more like a hanging card among the three great elders, so no one paid much attention to her.
However, this time, Zhao Ying suddenly recruited another disciple, which made some people nervous. They guessed that Zhao Ying could not help but want to interfere with the internal affairs of the Profound Ice Pavilion. Fortunately, Zhao Ying only accepted Lu Xuan, a little guy from a third-grade sect. They did not take Lu Xuan seriously.
However, the strength that Lu Xuan had displayed in the battle with the Wind Sword Clan had truly shocked everyone. A kid at the fourth tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm had actually killed three experts at the ninth tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm who had joined forces?
What did this mean? It meant that Lu Xuan was a well-deserved prodigy! It was definitely not because of good luck that he obtained first place in the Mystic Ice Hidden Domain. Just from the battle results, Lu Xuan was even stronger than Zhao Bing`er. When Zhao Bing`er was at Lu Xuan's strength, she would not be able to deal with three ninth tier Spirit Refinement realm experts.
It was because Lu Xuan's performance was too eye-catching that they had no choice but to pay attention to him. Profound Ice Pavilion was fully deserving of its two prodigy disciples. They were also the only two Origin Realm disciples. One was Leng Qingqiu and the other was Zhao Bing`er. Zhao Bing`er was under Elder Zhao Ying. Now that there was another prodigy disciple, Lu Xuan, who was also under Zhao Ying, if Zhao Ying really had the intention to fight for the position of Sect Head, it might not be impossible.
After hearing Zhao Bing`er's explanation, Lu Xuan felt that something was wrong. He had just joined the Profound Ice Pavilion and it seemed like he was pushed to the heart of the struggle.
This was not Lu Xuan's intention. In the eyes of others, he was the kind of person who liked to be in the limelight. But Lu Xuan knew that he had no such intention. Every time he wanted to be in the limelight, it was because he was forced by others. He originally wanted to join the Profound Ice Pavilion in a low-profile manner and cultivate quietly for a few years. Who knew that he would become the center of attention the moment he joined.
After thinking for a while, Lu Xuan asked in a low voice, "Bing`er, does master really want to fight for the Pavilion Leader's position?"
If Zhao Ying really wanted to fight for the Pavilion Leader's position, as her disciple, Lu Xuan naturally had to do his best.
Zhao Bing`er hesitated for a while, then shook her head and said, "I don't think so. I grew up with master. Master is very indifferent to this aspect. Moreover, master's position in the Profound Ice Pavilion is a little special. Aside from cultivating, she doesn't care about anything else. She is very indifferent. Rather than saying that master is an elder of the Profound Ice Pavilion, she is more like a guest."
Lu Xuan nodded lightly. Since Zhao Ying didn't have such thoughts, then he didn't have to think too much. As long as others didn't provoke him, then he would just cultivate quietly.
As the two of them spoke, they arrived outside the quiet room where Zhao Ying was cultivating. Zhao Bing`er was about to knock on the door when she heard Zhao Ying's voice. She had clearly sensed their arrival.
"Come in."
Zhao Bing`er didn't say much. She directly pushed the door open and entered, and Lu Xuan followed closely behind.
Stepping into the quiet room, Lu Xuan was slightly taken aback. This was because there was another person in the room besides Zhao Ying, and it was an acquaintance of Lu Xuan.
"Kitty?"
"Sister Du?"
Zhao Bing`er and Lu Xuan spoke at the same time. Sitting opposite Zhao Ying was Du Xiaomao, who had helped Lu Xuan in the Profound Ice Secret Realm.
Seeing the two of them coming over, Du Xiaomao also smiled at them and nodded.
Although she was a little surprised to see Du Xiaomao, Zhao Bing`er didn't ask much. Since Zhao Ying called Du Xiaomao over, she naturally had her reasons.
"Master, I have brought Lu Xuan." Zhao Bing`er said aloud.
"Greetings … Elder Zhao." Lu Xuan hesitated slightly, but still didn't call her master. After all, Zhao Ying hadn't officially accepted him as a disciple yet.
Zhao Ying looked up at the two of them, and her eyes lingered on Lu Xuan for two breaths. Then she said, "Sit down."
There were two cushions beside Du Xiaomao. Zhao Bing`er and Lu Xuan sat cross-legged, waiting for Zhao Ying to speak.
When the two of them sat down, Zhao Ying looked at Lu Xuan again. Seeing his familiar yet strange face, Zhao Ying felt a little complicated. It was really too similar. However, since Lu Xuan was born in Qingshan Town of Tianwu Empire, then he couldn't be her missing child. Moreover, that bitch had personally said that she killed her child with her own hands.
But no matter what, because of Lu Xuan's face, Zhao Ying also liked Lu Xuan a little more. If not, she wouldn't have specifically asked Yang Yi to take care of Lu Xuan, and even used her name to scare people at critical moments.
But even so, there was almost an accident. Fortunately, Lu Xuan came back safe and sound.
Seeing Zhao Ying staring at him, Lu Xuan felt a little uncomfortable. Was there something on his face? And he was also puzzled. He always felt that Zhao Ying's attitude towards him was a little special, but he didn't know why.
After a long silence, Zhao Ying finally said, "I know what happened at Wind Sword School. It's good that you are back. Don't take risks in the future."
Hearing Zhao Ying's words of concern, Lu Xuan felt flattered and said, "Thank you for your concern, Elder Zhao. I will pay attention."
Not only Lu Xuan, but also Zhao Binger and Du Xiaomao couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Lu Xuan. Zhao Binger grew up with Zhao Ying, so she naturally knew Zhao Ying's character. Zhao Ying rarely said such words to her, but now she had this kind of attitude towards Lu Xuan?
And although Du Xiaomao wasn't as familiar with Zhao Ying as Zhao Binger, she also knew Zhao Ying's character. No matter who she was, Zhao Ying's character was harsh. Now she actually looked at Lu Xuan in a different light. Could it be that she really liked this disciple?
Seeing the eyes of the two women, Zhao Ying coughed lightly and realized that she had lost her composure. Her face became serious again, and she said, "Don't call me Elder in the future, just call me Master."
Hearing this, Lu Xuan finally let out a long sigh of relief. The trace of doubt just now was gone. Zhao Ying had officially accepted him as her disciple. From now on, he would be Zhao Binger's Junior Brother in name only.
"Disciple Lu Xuan, greetings to Master." Lu Xuan quickly bowed, then looked around and asked awkwardly, "Master, do you want a cup of tea or something?"
Seeing Lu Xuan's silly look, Du Xiaomao had already covered her mouth and snickered. Even Zhao Binger and Zhao Ying, the two icy beauties, couldn't help but smile.
Zhao Ying shook her head and said: "No need, there aren't many rules. From now on, you are my, Zhao Ying's, disciple. Ever since I accepted Bing 'er as my disciple more than ten years ago, I have not had a second disciple.
