"A hundred years ago, we were still young!"
Duanmu Xiong Tu said faintly, staring at the ice sculpture with a happy smile on his face.
One was a young disciple of the Sacred Mountain, Duanmu Xiong Tu, and the other was a wandering soul master of the Heavenly Palace, Nan Xi Hui.
However, it all started with the Li family.
One day, Nan Xi Hui found a remnant article about the Hundred Herb Li family in an ancient book of the Heavenly Palace, and wanted to go down the mountain to travel.
It was recorded that thousands of years ago, when the Heavenly Palace was first built, the first palace master and the Li family's patriarch studied soul arts together.
One day, the palace master of the Heavenly Palace visited the Li family, and the two of them hit it off. They worked together to refine the green and purple cauldrons, and prepared to combine them into one to prove the friendship between the two sects.
However, for some reason, the Heavenly Palace and the Li family became more and more estranged, so Nan Xi Hui came to the Hundred Herb Mountain out of curiosity.
After five thousand years of evolution, the Hundred Herb Li family was no longer the same as before.
Five thousand years ago, the Sacred Mountain had already discovered the Hundred Herb Mountain, and built the headquarters of the academy as a cultivation base.
Because the Li family was a native, they didn't drive them away, but asked the Li family to provide them with pills and weapons for generations. Gradually, the Li family became their subsidiary.
Although they had the protection of the Iron Soulfish, the Iron Soulfish suffered the pain of reincarnation, and their abilities weakened year by year. In the end, they could only hide in the Li family's ancestral hall.
With the Sacred Mountain's endless demands, the entire Hundred Herb Mountain was taken over by the Sacred Mountain.
The Li family's men became the disciples of the Sacred Mountain, and the Li family's children were often molested by the disciples of the Sacred Mountain.
When Nan Xi Hui arrived at the Hundred Herb Mountain, she found the Li family in a difficult situation.
At that time, the Sacred Mountain came to collect the herbs of the past, so how could the proud Nan Xi Hui suffer such humiliation?
Therefore, she didn't reveal her identity as a member of the Heavenly Palace, but Nan Xi Hui still stood up for the Li family.
After that, Nan Xi Hui left the Hundred Herb Mountain and traveled around the Central State. The young man's temperament was naturally carefree, and he soon met Duanmu Xiong Tu who was dealing with the Li family.
In the Holy Mountain, it was finally found that the woman was not a member of the Li family.
The upper echelons announced that anyone who could capture and bring them back to the Holy Mountain would be promoted from an inner disciple to a direct disciple.
All of a sudden, all the capable disciples of the Holy Mountain turned out in full force to capture Nan Xi Hui.
Duanmu Xiong Tu was naturally one of them.
Sometimes, fate was so wonderful that words couldn't describe it.
Duanmu Xiong Tu was naturally quick-witted and intelligent. Although he had entered the sect late, he was naturally intelligent and kept a low profile.
After coming to Central State City, Duanmu Xiongtu didn't ask for the City Lord's help, nor did he reveal his identity. Just from the clues he found from Lady Li, he guessed that this woman was from Heavenly Palace.
Duanmu Xiongtu finally caught Nan Xi Hui in the Imperial Heavenly Palace of the Central Region.
Duanmu Xiong Tu thought that since he had already obtained it, he might as well make a bet with Nan Xi Hui.
Whoever won would take the winner to a place they especially wanted to go.
A peerless genius of a generation meeting a direct disciple of the Imperial Heavenly Palace's Palace Lord, it was like a needle against an awl.
Such a wonderful confrontation naturally produced a wonderful feeling between the two youths, so much so that in the last few months, Duanmu Xiong Tu would always use fewer moves in martial skills, while Nan Xi Hui would use fewer soul skills, all in order to spend more time with the other party.
Their obsession with martial arts gradually brought the two of them together.
Under the sunset and the stars, the two of them helped each other in difficult times, discussing with each other, facing the vast sea, the two of them comprehended together. A year flew by quickly, and the two of them had made great progress.
But neither of them said the words in their hearts, until the time to return to the Holy Mountain came, the two of them still didn't say those words of love.
After a year, as if they had a tacit understanding, the two of them only knew each other's names, not even telling each other which sect they were from.
After returning, Duanmu Xiong Tu thought that he had no fate with Nan Xi Hui, but he didn't expect that after returning, the elders would fly into a rage. Nan Xi Hui, who had killed a Holy Mountain disciple, was still at large. That was the time when the Holy Mountain was rapidly consolidating their strength.
Helpless, Duanmu Xiong Tu was sent to the Li Clan to investigate the situation that year. From the bottom of his heart, Duanmu Xiong Tu knew what the Holy Mountain was like.
Duanmu Xiong Tu only wanted to hone his martial skills, he didn't care much about this kind of thing.
However, Nan Xi Hui, who had returned to the Imperial Heavenly Palace to report, was sent back at the same time, wanting to reveal her identity to the Li Clan's Patriarch. If possible, the Imperial Heavenly Palace was willing to help.
After all, they were old friends, the Imperial Heavenly Palace definitely wouldn't sit idly by.
Just like that, the two of them reunited in such an awkward situation.
When Nan Xi Hui saw Duanmu Xiong Tu, she was stunned, then angry. She stared at Duanmu Xiong Tu and said, Duanmu Xiong Tu would never forget, "You're from the Holy Mountain?"
Duanmu Xiong Tu still felt a faint pain when he thought of this sentence. Duanmu Xiong Tu didn't want to lie to the person he loved the most.
Just like that, Nan Xi Hui was exposed. With the sacrifice of the people of the Imperial Heavenly Palace and the Li Clan, and with Duanmu Xiong Tu's help, Nan Xi Hui successfully escaped.
But Duanmu Xiong Tu, who came to investigate, disappeared without a trace in the Holy Mountain's report.
When the two of them reunited again, it was inevitable that they would quarrel fiercely.
Deceit, betrayal, complaints, bitterness, feelings, love, all these things quickly heated up in the following year.
The two of them also fell madly in love in this inexplicable environment. Time was always unpredictable in the eyes of lovers.
Until one day, when Nan Xi Hui wanted to be together with Duanmu Xiong Tu for real, Duanmu Xiong Tu hesitated.
He knew that he was a disciple of the Holy Mountain after all. If he wanted to go back, Nan Xi Hui could only bring him back, but she would die without a doubt.
He refused.
Nan Xi Hui once said that she wanted Duanmu Xiong Tu to go back to the Imperial Heavenly Palace with her, to have children together in the Imperial Heavenly Palace, and be a pair of immortal lovers who didn't care about the world.
At that time, Duanmu Xiong Tu was already invincible among his peers. Even a Grand Elder like Sheng Yun was inferior to him.
One or two years was fine, but to leave the Holy Mountain for a lifetime?
Duanmu Xiong Tu couldn't do it.
In the end, Nan Xi Hui left, leaving behind a sentence: "When you think it through, come to the Imperial Heavenly Palace to find me!"
After returning to the Holy Mountain, how could Duanmu Xiong Tu suppress his longing for Nan Xi Hui? He tried every means possible to find her, and in the past few years, he went back and forth countless times.
And in the Holy Mountain, Duanmu Xiong Tu who had disappeared without a trace was already suspected. Coupled with his frequent absence from the Holy Mountain, it made his master even more suspicious.
The relationship between the two of them was finally discovered by the masters of both sides.
Finally, it was time to make a decision. At this time, Duanmu Xiong Tu met the five year old Duanmu Xiaoman and the infant Duanmu Qingtian at the foot of the Imperial Heavenly Palace.
He had also promised to give Nan Xi Hui a home. Gathering his courage, Duanmu Xiong Tu sent the two to the palace and let them acknowledge Nan Xi Hui as their master.
In the last few times, Duanmu Xiong Tu took the initiative to break this relationship.
