The word 'not marry' wasn't heavy, but it was a little cold. It was a simple and direct indication of the person's attitude.
The middle-aged woman looked at Xia Fengming and shook her head, "Young Master Xia, you've seen it too. It's not that we don't want to marry Xin 'er, it's that she doesn't want to. In this Ice Palace, even the Palace Master can't force her."
Jiang Xiaofan blushed with shame. This middle-aged woman was too much. She could have just said that Bing Xin didn't want to marry him. Why did she have to drag in the Ice Palace Master? Could it be that the Ice Palace respected Bing Xin?
Xia Fengming was a little regretful, but he still insisted, "This Xia is sincere towards Lady Bing Xin. This won't change. Even if I'm rejected this time, this one will definitely pay a visit again until Lady Bing Xin agrees."
He waved his hand, and the old man behind him stood out. With a flash of light, an exquisite wooden chest appeared in his hand.
Xia Fengming took it and walked to Bing Xin, "This is the Polar Ice Jade. It can help Lady Bing Xin with her cultivation. It's also the hardest thing in the world. It represents this Xia's feelings for Lady Bing Xin. It's indestructible!"
Looking at the item in Xia Fengming's hand, even the middle-aged woman was a little surprised. The Polar Ice Jade contained the coldest Qi. To the cultivators of the Ice Palace, it was indeed an important treasure.
Jiang Xiaofan pursed his lips and muttered softly, "The hardest thing in the world, indestructible, he really dares to say it …"
His voice was very soft, but it was still heard by the people present. Xia Fengming's face immediately sank, and he said with an unkind tone, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't know anything. There's a saying that trouble comes from the mouth. Please conduct yourself with dignity!"
'Damn it! You're threatening me! '
Jiang Xiaofan was very disgusted with Xia Fengming. Coincidentally, the other party said that the Polar Ice Jade was the hardest thing in the world. He sneered in his heart and thought of a good idea.
He looked at Xia Fengming with disdain, and said, "The hardest thing in the world? Don't brag too much. Otherwise, the bull will fly away. You dare to say such words with a broken thing? Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue?"
"This is?"
The middle-aged woman asked. Only now did she notice Jiang Xiaofan.
"I'm Jiang Xiaofan from the Emperor Heaven Sect. I'm here to collect the secret letter," Bing Xin said.
The middle-aged woman nodded and didn't say anything else. However, at this moment, Jiang Xiaofan spoke again. He looked at Xia Fengming and said, "Since Brother Xia is so confident, why don't we make a bet?"
The middle-aged woman frowned. Just as she was about to stop him, Xia Fengming opened his mouth and said with a smile, "Alright, since you want to bet, I will naturally accompany you. What do you want to bet?"
Jiang Xiaofan looked at the wooden box in his hand and pointed at the white Xuan Jade Sphere the size of a soccer ball. He said, "Didn't you say that this is the hardest thing in the world? Let's bet on this. "
"Alright, I'll bet with you!" Xia Fengming nodded. His expression was calm, as if everything was under his control. He looked at Jiang Xiaofan and said, "Since you want to bet, then name your stakes!"
"What do you want?" Jiang Xiaofan asked.
Xia Fengming's expression was cold as he said, "We'll bet our lives. Do you dare?"
Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect Xia Fengming to make such a bet. Not only the middle-aged woman, even Ye Yuanxue and Bing Xin were surprised. Ye Yuanxue wanted to refuse on behalf of Jiang Xiaofan.
"Do you think I'm scared?! Since you want to bet like this, I'll accompany you! " Jiang Xiaofan sneered in his heart. He waved his hand and blocked Ye Yuanxue. He looked at Xia Fengming and said indifferently, "However, I don't want your life. Your life is worthless to me. It's useless!"
Not paying attention to Xia Fengming's slightly gloomy expression, Jiang Xiaofan looked at Bing Xin and said, "If you lose, don't harass Miss Bing Xin in the future. She has no feelings for you!"
Bing Xin looked at Jiang Xiaofan with some astonishment. Her expression changed again. What was this man thinking? Why was he betting his life for her? There was no relationship between them. Was he crazy?
"What do you want?!"
Bing Xin stood up and glared at Jiang Xiaofan with some anger.
"Shut up!" Jiang Xiaofan glared back at her. He then looked at Xia Fengming and said coldly, "Do you dare to bet?"
Xia Fengming narrowed his eyes. He firmly believed that even if the Polar Ice Jade wasn't the hardest thing in the world, there was almost nothing that could compare to it. And if there was something that could compare to it, it would be very difficult for an ordinary big force to take out. Jiang Xiaofan was only in the Refinement realm, so he didn't believe that he could take out such an item.
"Okay, we'll do as you say!" Xia Fengming said.
Jiang Xiaofan smiled, but it was a little cold. A dark sword appeared in his hand. The hilt was inlaid with a skull. The sword was gorgeous and slender, but there wasn't the slightest fluctuation of energy.
"What do you want to do?" Xia Fengming asked.
"I don't want to do anything. Didn't you say that the Polar Ice Jade was the hardest thing in the world? Now I'll use my actions to show you that your so-called hardest thing in the world is no stronger than tofu."
Jiang Xiaofan sneered. He raised his sword and chopped down. He cultivated the Phantom Steps. At such a close distance, his speed was so fast that even Bing Xin couldn't react. Naturally, Xia Fengming couldn't dodge.
"Chi …"
With a light sound, the Polar Ice Jade in Xia Fengming's hand was cut in half along with the wooden box. The two halves fell to the ground. The surface was as smooth as jade, just like glass.
The huge Ice Palace quieted down at this moment. Even Xia Fengming was stunned for a moment. The hard Polar Ice Jade was actually cut in half. For a moment, he didn't even react.
"This …"
The middle-aged woman was also stunned. She looked at the longsword in Jiang Xiaofan's hand. She didn't feel the slightest fluctuation of energy, but it was able to cut the Polar Ice Jade in half. How sharp was this sword? How strong was its material?
The skeletal hilt and the dark blade made everyone frown. Xia Fengming and the green-robed old man's eyes flickered, but in the end, they didn't say anything. In their perception, that sword didn't have the slightest abnormality.
"Brother Xia, what do you think?"
Jiang Xiaofan put away the Sky Demon Sword and narrowed his eyes at Xia Fengming.
Xia Fengming came back to his senses. Looking at the two halves of the Polar Ice Jade on the ground, his face was no longer smiling. It was very gloomy. He stared at Jiang Xiaofan and coldly said, "I lost. In the future, I won't take half a step into the Ice Palace!"
He took a step forward and stared intently at Jiang Xiaofan. He said in a deep voice, "You're very good!"
Jiang Xiaofan disdainfully shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's what everyone says."
"I'll remember you!"
Xia Fengming glanced at Jiang Xiaofan one last time. He didn't say anything else, nor did he show the proper etiquette. He only glanced at Bing Xin, then left with the old man behind him.
In the main hall, the middle-aged woman seemed to be relieved. She nodded at Jiang Xiaofan to express her gratitude. Then, she didn't say anything else and also left this place. It seemed like she had something to take care of.
Clearly, Xia Fengming's identity was not ordinary. Even the powerful Ice Palace had to take him into consideration. Otherwise, the Ice Palace wouldn't have allowed him to come and propose marriage.
Bing Xin was the most outstanding descendant of the Ice Palace in the last ten thousand years. How could the Ice Palace marry her off? However, because of the power behind Xia Fengming, even the Ice Palace had to be careful. They could only be perfunctory.
However, today, Jiang Xiaofan, who didn't belong to the Ice Palace, had completely settled this matter. He had made Xia Fengming personally promise that he wouldn't take half a step into the Ice Palace. In other words, he wouldn't come and propose marriage to Bing Xin again. The middle-aged woman had reason to believe that with Xia Fengming's identity, he wouldn't go back on his word. Otherwise, not only would he bring shame to himself, he would also bring shame to the power behind him. He wouldn't do that, and he wouldn't dare to do that!
"Yeah, pervert, you're so strong!" Ye Yuanxue jumped over and pinched Jiang Xiaofan's ear. "You've done a great deed, pervert. Sister Bing Xin will definitely reward you. She might even give you her body!"
Bing Xin glared at Ye Yuanxue. She looked at Jiang Xiaofan very "seriously" and very "attentively". Only when the handsome Jiang Xiaofan felt his hair stand on end did she expressionlessly open her mouth. "You just yelled at me …"
Jiang Xiaofan immediately felt his scalp go numb. He immediately thought of the two words he had said to Bing Xin. He hurriedly said, "Hey, hey, hey. Miss Bing, as a person, you have to have a conscience. Just now, I risked my life to help you!"
Bing Xin coldly snorted. She tilted her head and said in an almost inaudible voice, "Thank you …"
These two words were too weak. Almost no one could hear them. However, Jiang Xiaofan's eyes widened. Because he was close and had cultivated a supreme Buddhist scripture, his spiritual sense was very strong. Therefore, he was able to hear these two words.
He couldn't believe his ears. This little girl Bing Xin actually said thank you to him. Could it be that he was mistaken? Therefore, he carefully moved closer and quietly asked, "What did you just say?"
"Scram!"
There was no doubt that her voice was very loud this time.
After noon, Jiang Xiaofan and Ye Yuanxue finally left and stepped on the path back to the Imperial Heaven Gate. The middle-aged woman personally came forward. She was an elder of the Ice Palace. Together with Bing Xin, she sent the two of them down the mountain.
She represented the Ice Palace and gave a solemn promise. The Ice Palace owed him a favor. If he needed anything in the future, the Ice Palace would definitely not stand by and do nothing. They would help him to the best of their ability. At the same time, the doors of the Ice Palace would always be open for him. He could come and be a guest at any time.
This shocked Jiang Xiaofan. It seemed like Bing Xin was really very important to the Ice Palace!
The wind and snow continued to blow on the ice plains. At the highest peak of the ancient mountain, this was the true sacred ground of the Ice Palace. It was hidden in the clouds and there were dao patterns everywhere. Spirit qi soared into the sky. An extremely powerful holy light was emitted from the void. It was like a paradise.
At this place, the most outstanding successor of the Ice Palace in tens of thousands of years was looking at the ice plains from afar. Looking at the young man and woman who were fooling around, looking at that ordinary yet special back, she was slightly lost in thought.
This man, just what kind of person was he?
His cultivation was not strong, but he dared to stand up for a pair of ordinary grandfather and grandson that he did not know. He angrily rebuked many practitioners. He did not seem to be serious at all, but he had a path that made people shrink back. He seemed to be extremely lustful, but he was willing to gamble his own life for someone else … Just what was he thinking? The woman was a little confused.
"Xin 'er, what are you lost about …"
At the peak of the ancient mountain, an old voice sounded.
"Master …"
Bing Xin turned around and looked at the clouds.
The old voice sounded again, "The golden age has begun, and the Heavenly Dao is reincarnated. As the most outstanding successor of the Ice Palace, you have the qualifications to walk on that path. However, whether you want to walk on it or not, it is up to you …"
Bing Xin stood at the peak of the snowy mountain, and a layer of mist gradually appeared in her eyes. Her pure white dress fluttered without wind, and the ice and snow in the sky danced for her. This place seemed to have formed a world of its own. Dao marks lingered in the void, and divine light shone resplendently. She was like a goddess of ice and snow. After a long while, her figure finally faded and she disappeared from the spot.
At the same time, on a green mountain outside the ice plains, a man in purple stood there silently. Behind him stood a lifeless old man in green. He was expressionlessly looking at the man and woman in the distance.
"Young master, do you need this old servant to take action?" the old man in green asked.
"Now is not the time, there is no chance …" The man in purple shook his head.
"Because of the Emperor Heaven Sect?"
"Emperor Heaven Sect? What is the Emperor Heaven Sect?" The man in purple said with disdain, "A mere Emperor Heaven Sect is far from enough for me to be apprehensive. What I am apprehensive about is that woman from the Ye family!"
"That girl is a little strange, but she is not this old servant's opponent …" the old man in green calmly stated a fact, "This old servant can make them disappear without a trace …"
Slap …
The reply was a resounding slap.
The man in purple looked coldly at the old man in green and said, "Because he is walking with that woman from the Ye family, I didn't touch him. Otherwise, do you think he can leave the ice plains alive?!"
A powerful aura erupted from the man in purple. If Jiang Xiaofan was here, he would realize that this aura was too powerful. It was even stronger than Bing Xin's. At the very least, it was at the ninth layer of the Illusory God Realm, or even higher!
The old man in green was slapped, but his expression didn't change. He stood at the side with his head lowered.
"I'm warning you, get as far away from that woman from the Ye family as you can. It's best if you don't provoke her, not even a strand of her hair. If anything happens to her, the entire Zi Wei will tremble!"
The man in purple looked ahead with an indifferent expression and said coldly, "I don't believe that he will stay with that woman from the Ye family forever. As long as he dares to walk out of the Emperor Heaven Sect alone, I don't want to see him walk back alive …"
