Chapter 0413 – Ice Cold Determination – Absolute Return

Sword Wuji walked over to Drunken Devil and said.

Drunken Devil and Li An, both looked at Jian Wuji curiously.

“You just put yourself in danger to save someone, that was so cool.”

After Jian Wuji finished speaking, he turned around and left the room.

At the corner of the drunken devil’s mouth, a smile appeared.

He knew that Jian Wuji must understand his bitterness.

“I’m going to get this over with as soon as possible and have a painful drink.”

The Drunken Devil said in his heart.

Li An and the Drunken Devil, standing by the window, watched Sword Wuji leave.

Jian Wuji utilized the “Dark Shadow Steps” of the “Four Steps of the Wind God” and left the courtyard silently.

The “Shadow Steps” were specially designed for infiltration, and after starting, one could avoid the sight of one person, and as one’s level increased, one could avoid the sight of more people. The “Shadow Steps” of the Grand Completion Realm could come and go without a trace, even in full view of the public.

“What did we just see?” Liam asked in surprise.

“A bunch of eye-openers.” The Drunken Devil took a sip of tea and said indifferently.

Cold Snow arrived at the Ice Palace Lord’s chambers.

“Mother.”

The Ice Palace Master heard Cold Snow’s voice and remembered what Jian Wuji had said.

“You should have cared more about your daughter, who is, right now, still standing behind you.”

It was the first time she and Coldsnow, had been alone.

“What brings you here?”

“I have something to report to you.”

Coldsnow then realized that whenever she came to see her mother, she wouldn’t exchange pleasantries, but just get right down to business.

She also remembered what Jian Wuji had said.

“It’s not estrangement or indifference between you, it’s stiffness.”

Now it seems that this is not the problem.

“Do I want to change this relationship?”

Coldsnow said in her heart that, perhaps, her mother did not want to change this relationship.

The Ice Palace Lord looked at Cold Snow and realized that she was a bit abnormal today.

“What is it?”

“I want to meet the Grand Duke of the Northern Blood Sect, Yang Xi.”

“Why do you want to see him?”

“The Young Sect Master believes that the Northern Blood Sect is also involved in this matter, and I want to go and confirm it.”

The Ice Palace Master was a bit surprised, she didn’t expect that Cold Snow would take the initiative to go and investigate this matter.

“Is this your own idea?”

The Ice Palace Master asked, but she realized that she had asked the wrong question.

“It was my own idea.”

Cold Snow replied.

“I’m just asking, don’t take it personally.”

“That’s okay.”

Between the two, silence fell once again.

The Ice Palace Master was tempted to say, “You’re still too young, this matter, you can’t handle it.”

But she couldn’t say anything when she saw Coldsnow’s determined eyes.

“Are you really going?”

“Yes.”

Both realized that the conversation between them was a bit raw.

They were already used to this mode of getting along, so they didn’t feel anything wrong.

But now, they were feeling a little uncomfortable.

“I’ll go first, then.”

After Cold Snow finished speaking, she turned around and left.

As she walked to the door, the Ice Palace Master suddenly said, “Have a cup of tea before you leave.”

The Ice Palace Master summoned up her courage and spoke these words.

She knew that she should have been more proactive.

Coldsnow froze for a moment; she couldn’t remember the last time she’d had tea with her mother.

“I’ll drink it when I get back.”

Coldsnow refused, then turned away.

The Ice Palace Master didn’t feel disappointed because she knew that this was just the beginning.

After Cold Snow left the bedchamber, she had some regrets in her heart.

“I should have stayed for a cup of tea.”

“Pop!”

Yang Xi, the Grand Duke of the Northern Blood Sect, fiercely slapped the maid.

“I’m sorry, Grand Duke!”

Yang Xi walked too fast and almost bumped into the maid, who had tea in her hands and spilled it on his clothes.

“Do you realize that I’m waiting for the Ice Palace’s Young Palace Master? Do you want me to wear these wet clothes and go see her?”

In fact, it was just a few drops of tea that splashed on his clothes, it was not visible at all. But he was in a bad mood, that’s why he took it out on the maid.

“Sorry, sorry ……”

“Snap! Pop!”

Yang Xi slapped the maid a few times in succession, and from the corner of the maid’s mouth, blood flowed out, and clear palm prints appeared on her face.

“Grand Duke, you should stop fighting, we should go.”

A henchman, hastily persuaded.

Only then did Yang Xi stop and turn away.

Luckily, he didn’t use his inner strength, otherwise, the maid would have been dead long ago.

After Yang Xi left, a man in black, walked over.

He was Yang XI’s personal guard, Xia Jie, the henchman who had just persuaded Yang XI.

“Let me see.”

Summer Knot picked up the maid and checked her injuries.

The corners of the maid’s mouth and cheeks, were cracked and blood flowed out.

With her hand, Summer Knot gently wiped the blood from the maid’s face.

“I’m fine.”

The maid said, but she didn’t dare to avoid Summer Knot’s hand.

What’s more, if it wasn’t for Summer Knot pleading for her just now, she might have been beaten even worse.

“Luckily, no teeth were knocked out.”

Summer Knot’s hand, the maid felt, was warm.

Unbeknownst to her, her eyes, had grown misty, and a red circle had appeared and flickered on her neck.

She didn’t realize that her life, which was no longer her own, was a terrible price to pay for a little bit of warmth.

“You stay in your room today and don’t go out, lest the Grand Duke run into you again.”

“Thank you.”

The maid went back to her room, looked in the mirror, and looked at her face.

She felt that she had lost a lot of blood, but now, her face, was clean, without a trace of blood.

“He just used his hand and wiped it for me, how did it get so clean?”

She hadn’t noticed the red circle that appeared, flickering, on her neck.

She didn’t realize that her life, which was no longer her own, was a terrible price to pay for a little bit of warmth.
