As soon as she said that, Jie Mingkong felt regretful and wanted to find a hole to hide in.
She could clearly see that Chen Xuanzong's expression changed from calm to astonishment.
Facing her master's gaze, she lowered her head subconsciously.
But soon, she felt something was wrong.
She finally said what she wanted to say today. How could she shrink back?
Jie Mingkong was a tough person. Although she was perturbed, she raised her head again and looked at her master.
However, Chen Xuanzong had already moved his eyes away and said calmly, "Lili has been like this since she was a child. It has become a habit. You have never paid attention to this. Why are you acting like a child this year?"
Jie Mingkong opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, Chen Xuanzong waved his hand, "Go."
"… Yes, master." Jie Mingkong pursed her lips and left the Sweeping Snow Pavilion.
After going out, she was much more clear-headed and calm. She felt both ashamed and carefree.
However, although she said it, she was still perturbed.
Jie Mingkong felt that her master should have understood the hidden meaning in her words.
However, her master not only refused Lili, but also her.
However, there was a vague idea in her mind.
Jie Mingkong couldn't see it clearly. However, as long as there was hope in her heart, she would inevitably worry about gains and losses.
The Feifei, which was named Pingping by Chu Lili, was finally given to her by Jie Mingkong.
It was obvious that Chu Lili was a little disappointed.
In the past, Chen Xuanzong would give her birthday gifts in person.
Although she liked the Feifei very much, and it was obvious that Chen Xuanzong spent a lot of effort to prepare a gift for her.
However, this year was really different.
Chu Lili was not stupid. She told her master about it this year, and the change in the gift this year was Chen Xuanzong's answer.
The girl refused to give up.
"A brave girl is afraid of being pestered by a man, and a good man is also afraid of being pestered by a woman!" She said to Jie Mingkong.
Jie Mingkong could only smile bitterly.
If she didn't have the same idea, she would have advised Chu Lili.
However, she really didn't have that confidence now.
She didn't interfere with Chu Lili's decision, but she wouldn't help her either.
For Jie Mingkong, she had always been thinking about her Master's reaction when she said those words.
What Jie Mingkong regretted most was that she subconsciously lowered her head and did not dare to look her Master in the eye.
However, by the time she mustered her courage and raised her head, Chen Xuanzong's line of sight had already shifted to the other side.
Jie Mingkong always felt that Chen Xuanzong was a bit unnatural when facing her, compared to his calmness when facing Chu Lili.
This left her with some hope in her heart, but she was also afraid that it was just her imagination and wishful thinking.
While worrying about gains and losses, the days on the Azure Sky Peak passed day by day.
Until that day came …
Kacha!
Above the glacier that froze the void, a crack suddenly appeared on the layer of ice beneath the empress's feet.
She was expressionless, but her whole body was overflowing with cold air.
The Empress closed her eyes and "looked" at the mountain peak that stood on top of the glacier in the distance. She didn't speak for a long time.
Under the ice mountain, Astro Sovereign was also silent.
After a long while, the empress bowed toward the distant ice mountain and said, "Master, please forgive me."
"You are very restless today." Astro Sovereign's voice came, "Is there anything special besides the arrival of Xingtang's descendant?"
Female Emperor answered, "I was thinking of the past, so I was a bit emotional."
Astro Sovereign was silent again.
"Master, I'm leaving now." Female Emperor bowed again and said, "I will try my best to help the father and son of the Yan Family."
"Go ahead. Take care of yourself." Astro Sovereign said to her.
Female Emperor nodded and turned around to leave.
The frozen Land of Tranquil Stream regained its silence.
Leaving the glacier, Female Emperor "looked" back at the void and remained silent for a long time.
She showed a complicated expression again on her face, which was vaguely hesitating and struggling.
"Master, even if you hate me for this …" Female Emperor became expressionless again, turned around and went on her way again.
She also chose to leave from the Nine Nether. But when she left, she crushed an ice crystal.
The ice crystal drifted in the void and turned into ice mist, which soon disappeared as if nothing had happened.
But after a while, there was suddenly a surge of demonic qi in the distance.
Then, an extremely horrifying aura came.
The horrifying big demons which were equal to the Immortal Realm were approaching, and there were more than one of them!
After a short pause, these big demons left the Nine Nether together and entered the land of tranquil stream.
Not long after, there were two more lights flashing in the void far away.
One was a dark sword light, and the other was a golden and red glow.
The two lights also came from the depths of the Nine Nether. But this time, they were not evil demons.
After the golden and red glow stopped, a middle-aged Daoist wearing a robe of dragon and tiger showed up. He was the expert of Roving Jade Heavens who had fought with Female Emperor, Tranquility Emperor.
After the sword light stopped, a young man in his thirties showed up.
He was another expert of the Prime Clear lineage in Roving Jade Heavens. He was the master of the Purple Light Cave of Tang Miao Peak of Green Duckweed Mountain, Truthful Truth Emperor, also known as Truthful Emperor.
When Yan Zhaoge was in Roving Jade Heavens, he met Wen Daihong, a martial art practitioner of Prime Clear lineage, "Sword Sweeping North Wind". He was the disciple of Truthful Emperor.
"Jie Mingkong has been here before. But I don't know whether she has left the void and returned to the World beyond Worlds through the land of tranquil stream in front of us." Tranquility Emperor reached out his hand and opened his five fingers. A water dragon flew out and danced in the Nine Nether devilish qi in front of him.
After a while, the water dragon flew back and fell into Tranquility Emperor's hand. Then, it spat out clouds of fog-like ice crystals.
"Ancient Star Frigid Iron is very rare. It can be used to refine an immortal weapon. More importantly, it can help to cure the old grand master's injury." Truthful Emperor frowned and said, "Jie Mingkong intercepted it halfway. We must stop her before she returns to the World beyond Worlds. Otherwise, it will be hard to get it back after she enters the World beyond Worlds."
Tranquility Emperor nodded and said, "Let's go and have a look."
As they were talking, they went out of the Nine Nether together and stepped into the land of tranquil stream.
However, as soon as they entered the glacier, they saw the boundless glacier had already turned into a fierce battlefield.
The devilish qi was overflowing in the glacier and formed a horrifying vortex, which was going to devour them!
"Leave as soon as possible!" A voice sounded in the glacier.
Tranquility Emperor and Truthful Emperor were shocked and doubtful. They wanted to retreat first and see the situation clearly. However, they found that someone had blocked their way back to the Nine Nether.
Meanwhile, some wild demons in the glacier had already turned to target them.
A fierce battle broke out in the land of tranquil stream.
Outside the land of tranquil stream, in the devilish domain of the Nine Nether, Female Emperor Jie Mingkong was standing in the void expressionlessly. She was making a seal with both of her hands and interweaving them into a ritual.
