Zhao Ying nodded, "Of course. Not to mention you, even I don't have a good impression of the other people in the Profound Ice Pavilion."
Lu Xuan was stunned. But thinking about Zhao Ying's usual style, it was probably true. But if Zhao Ying didn't have a good impression of the Profound Ice Pavilion, why did she stay here? Lu Xuan didn't ask much. He thought that Zhao Ying must have her reasons.
Speaking up to here, Zhao Ying paused and looked at Lu Xuan with a smile, "Your gift really surprised me. It's too precious. If it was a normal thing, I wouldn't accept it. It's just that this martial technique is too important to me, so I can only accept it for now."
Lu Xuan quickly waved his hand, "Master, you're too serious. It's natural for a disciple to be filial to master."
"No wonder when I gave you the first three stages of the Profound Ice Heart Sutra, you rejected it. So you already have the complete Profound Ice Heart Sutra. So you're practicing this Profound Ice Heart Sutra?" Zhao Ying asked.
Lu Xuan shook his head, "No, I got the Profound Ice Heart Sutra by accident. I have another martial technique."
Zhao Ying couldn't help but take a deep breath. Lu Xuan's words surprised her too much. She believed that Lu Xuan could definitely differentiate between good and bad martial techniques. He didn't even practice the complete version of the Profound Ice Heart Sutra. Didn't that mean that the martial technique Lu Xuan was practicing was more advanced than the Profound Ice Heart Sutra?
Thinking up to here, Zhao Ying felt a little relieved. No wonder Lu Xuan's cultivation speed and strength were far better than the others. It seemed that the martial technique he was practicing played a big role. It was really frustrating to compare oneself to others. An incomplete version of the Profound Ice Heart Sutra was treated as a secret by the Profound Ice Pavilion. But a complete version of the Profound Ice Heart Sutra became a rejected product in Lu Xuan's hands.
"If there's nothing else, master, I'll leave now?" Lu Xuan asked.
"Yes, cultivate well. You've already achieved so much at such a young age, and you even have great luck on your side. Your future achievements will definitely be limitless. If there's anything you don't understand, just come to the quiet room and look for me." Zhao Ying nodded her head, and the way she looked at Lu Xuan became even more gentle. It was not only because Lu Xuan gave her the Ice Heart Sutra, but also because of Lu Xuan's attitude. He gave away such a valuable technique just like that, which meant that Lu Xuan really did treat her as his master.
Lu Xuan stood up, bowed, and prepared to leave. However, when he saw that Zhao Binger was still there, Lu Xuan couldn't help but stop and ask, "Binger, you're not leaving?"
Zhao Binger looked at him and said, "You go first. I still have something to ask master."
Lu Xuan nodded and left without saying anything else.
"Bing-er, what's up? Have you reached a bottleneck in your cultivation? "Zhao Ying looked at her and asked.
Zhao Binger shook her head. She looked in the direction that Lu Xuan left, then said, "Master, why do I feel like there's something wrong with you recently?"
"Me? What could be wrong with me? "Zhao Ying laughed.
Seeing Zhao Ying's expression, Zhao Binger was even more certain. She said, "You still say there's nothing wrong with you? You've been smiling more and more. I've never seen you smile so many times before."
"Really?" Zhao Ying reached out her hand and touched her face. She didn't notice it, but after Zhao Binger's reminder, she realized that she seemed to be smiling more. Although the knot in her heart was still unresolved, it was much better than before.
"Yeah, seeing you smile more, I'm even happier. In the past, every time I saw you with a straight face, I felt a little uneasy." Zhao Binger grabbed Zhao Ying's hand and said, "Thank you for your concern, Bing-er. I didn't dote on you for nothing. But now that you have someone you like, I'm afraid that you'll leave me soon."
Zhao Binger held Zhao Ying's hand affectionately and said, "Thank you for your concern, Bing-er. I didn't dote on you for nothing. But now that you have someone you like, I'm afraid that you'll leave me soon."
"Of course not. I would never abandon Master even if I were to abandon anyone."
"Really? Then if you had to choose between Lu Xuan and master, who would you choose? "Zhao Ying asked with a smile.
"…" Zhao Binger suddenly felt bitter. She explained, "This is different. Master is master, and Lu Xuan is Lu Xuan. I'll choose both."
"Look, you just said that you wouldn't leave master, and in the blink of an eye, you're going to run away with your little man. As expected, a grown girl can't be kept at home," Zhao Ying said, pretending to be sad.
"Master!" Zhao Binger shook Zhao Ying's arm and acted like a spoiled child. If the Xuan Ice Pavilion disciples saw this scene, their jaws would probably drop.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Lu Xuan is a good kid. Cherish your relationship." Zhao Ying shook her head and said, clearly recalling some things.
Seeing that it was about time, Zhao Binger blinked her beautiful eyes and asked, "Master, is there something between you and Lu Xuan?"
Zhao Ying's breath stopped. She didn't expect Zhao Binger to have such sharp eyes. She didn't show anything, but Zhao Binger saw through it.
"It doesn't matter. What are you thinking about? Have you forgotten that when you told me about Lu Xuan, I wanted to skin him alive and pull out his tendons?"
"Yeah, now that he's in front of you, you don't want to skin him alive. You even agreed to our relationship. It's a bit weird. Ever since Lu Xuan came, you've started to change. You've started to smile more. Others might not know you, but I do. Your attitude towards Lu Xuan is obviously different."
"He's the man you like. Of course, I admit it. Do I really have a falling out with you? You might not listen to me. Plus, he's like you now, my disciple. Of course, his attitude is different from an outsider."
"Master, you're lying." Zhao Binger looked at Zhao Ying's flickering eyes and said. With her intelligence, she could clearly see that Zhao Ying was hiding something from her.
"Master, tell me. Do you still treat me like an outsider?" Zhao Binger used her coquettish method again. If she used this method on Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan would immediately surrender. Even Zhao Ying was defeated by her coquettish method.
Sighing, Zhao Ying said, "Do I really want to know?"
"Of course!"
"Because Lu Xuan looks like someone."
"Who?"
"… My child's father." Zhao Ying hesitated for a moment, but finally said it. She had suppressed these things in her heart for many years. Today, under Zhao Binger's questioning, she finally said it.
Zhao Binger, who was asking around, was shocked. Master has a child? And he looks like Lu Xuan?
Zhao Binger quickly asked, "Is Lu Xuan your …"
"I don't think so. Do you remember the first day I saw Lu Xuan? I asked him about his background, and he was born and raised in the Tianwu Empire. As for the resemblance, it was probably just a coincidence. My poor child had already been murdered by someone. " A hint of sadness flashed across Zhao Ying's eyes. It was obvious that this was something that had been bothering her for a long time. She was unable to break through to the Virtualized Realm. Even though it was because the Mystic Ice Heart Sutra was not complete, wasn't this also one of the reasons?
Zhao Binger calmed herself down and digested the shock brought by Zhao Ying's words. Then she continued to ask, "Master, can you tell me about your past?"
"What happened in the past?" Zhao Ying forced a smile, "Since you're interested, then I'll tell you. I've buried these things in my heart for more than ten years."
Then, Zhao Ying's eyes flashed with a hint of reminiscence.
Like many stories in the martial world, beauties were paired with heroes. Back then, Zhao Ying was very beautiful, not inferior to Zhao Bing`er at all. Oh, I forgot to mention that Zhao Ying was the daughter of the previous Xuan Bing Pavilion Master. In the Xuan Bing Pavilion, she was undoubtedly a princess-like existence.
One day, a fifth-rank sect directly under the Profound Ice Pavilion sent people to inspect the place. The leader was an extremely handsome man. His strength and status were extraordinary, because he was the son of the leader of the fifth-rank sect Jiuhua Alliance. In terms of status, he was extremely respected in the entire Sky Sword Continent, because there were currently no sixth-rank sects on the continent!
Obviously, Zhao Ying and this man fell in love, and they even promised to marry each other. The two of them were in love, and it should have been a wonderful thing. Unfortunately, things were not so perfect.
