Chapter 0415 – Ice Heart Jade Pot – Absolute Return

Jian Wuji got up from the bed and looked at Xu Luo in front of him and said indifferently, “Elder Xu has really been working hard lately, we do meet often.”

When Xu Luo heard this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face and he coughed dryly to hide his outburst, “It seems that the old man has misunderstood.”

The earlier imposing manner was all gone at this moment, replaced by a touch of imperceptible panic.

“I think someone is deliberately spreading rumors, trying to trap Elder Xu in a disadvantageous position.” Jian Wuji said with intent.

”Who else could it be but you brat!” Xu Luo cursed in his heart, but he didn’t dare to show half of it.

‘What’s wrong with me?’ He was secretly alerted in his heart, ever since he met this Demon Sect’s Young Sect Master, he seemed to have become easily impulsive.

Thinking about it, when he learned the news, he should have acted more cautiously, first secretly checking it out and confirming the authenticity before making plans. But he was so overwhelmed by anger that he disregarded his identity and directly led people to break in, which was really unsteady.

“This matter was reckless on the part of the old man, I hope the young sect master will forgive me.” Xu Luo took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart as he arched his hand towards Jian Wuji and saluted.

“Elder Xu is overstating things.” Jian Wuji said indifferently, but secretly sneered in his heart.

“However, I will definitely report today’s matter to the Palace Master, so please behave yourself, Young Sect Master.” Xu Luo dropped a vicious sentence, and then with a few disciples, he turned around and left.

Looking at the departing backs of Xu Luo and the others, Li An couldn’t help but ask, “Young Sect Master, when did you return?”

“Right when you opened the door.” Jian Wuji said with a smile.

“Through the window?” Liam asked in surprise.

Jian Wu Ji nodded, Li An turned his head to look at the Drunken Demon on the side, and said in his heart, ”Worthy of being blood brothers, one virtue!”

Li An Xin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Jian Wu Ji had returned in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.

“Scared the hell out of me! My heart was about to jump out of my chest just now!” Li An patted his chest, his heart palpitating.

The Drunken Devil smiled and snickered, “You, with this kind of guts, who else do you want to scare? I see you hated to find a crack in the ground just now, right?”

Li An blankly glanced at the Drunken Demon and said without a trace of anger, “It’s not because of you! If it wasn’t for your bad idea, how would the Young Sect Master have been discovered?”

“How can you blame me for this? Who knew that Xu Luo would suddenly kill back?” The Drunken Devil defended himself.

“Alright, you two just stop arguing.” Sword Wuji smiled and said, “I’ve already found out something about this time.”

“Really?” Li An sniffed and was instantly energized, “Who’s behind this?”

“It’s someone from the Northern Blood Sect.” Jian Wuji said, “I infiltrated the Northern Blood Sect and witnessed Fairy Cold and Yang? met, and also discovered that Yang? s guard, actually practiced the Evil Sect Blood Technique, and moreover, he was secretly colluding with Xu Luo.”

Li An and the Drunken Devil’s faces turned grave when they heard this.

“It seems that we all underestimated the Northern Blood Sect’s ambition.” Drunken Devil said in a deep voice.

“So, you showed up on purpose for Xu Luo to find out?” Li An asked.

Jian Wuji nodded and said, “Not only do I want to test the depths of that guard, but I also want to confirm whether Xu Luo is colluding with the Northern Blood Sect, and more importantly, I want to give the Ice Palace Master a reason to release us.”

“Free us?” Liam asked in disbelief.

“Xu Luo searched my room in public and found nothing, this is already a provocation to the Demon Sect, and the Ice Palace Master will definitely make some concessions in order to quell this matter.” Jian Wuji explained, “And releasing us is the best option.”

When Li An heard this, she suddenly came to a realization, she looked at Jian Wuji, her eyes filled with admiration, “Young Sect Master, you are truly amazing!”

“What is this? It’s nothing more than a carving skill.” Sword Wuji smiled faintly and turned his head to look at Drunken Devil, “Big brother, but I promised you that I would let you have a drink in the North Sea, now, it’s time to honor my promise.”

The Drunken Devil’s eyes flashed with a glint of excitement when he heard this, he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

“Good! Let’s go for a drink!”

……

After Cold Snow returned to the Ice Palace, she went straight to the Cold Fragrance Hall where the Ice Palace Lord resided.

“Mother, I’ve come to ask you a question.” Cold Snow walked into the great hall and said to the Ice Palace Lord sitting on the main seat.

“Come in.” The Ice Palace Lord put down the scroll in his hand and gestured for Cold Snow to sit down.

Cold Snow walked to the opposite side of the Ice Palace Lord and sat down, a maid served fragrant tea, and the curling aroma of tea filled the hall.

“Say, what is it?” The Ice Palace Lord asked.

“I would like to know, in your opinion, is it easier for a ruthless person to live, or is it easier for a sentimental person to live?” Cold Snow asked.

This question, seemingly abrupt, hid the deep confusion in Cold Snow’s heart.

When the Ice Palace Master heard this, she didn’t answer immediately, but asked in return, “What do you think?”

“I think that it should be the emotionless ones.” Cold Snow said, “Because they won’t be bound by their feelings and can make choices more rationally.”

“You’re right.” The Ice Palace Master nodded, “In the Jianghu, it is indeed easier for ruthless people to survive.”

“And what about you?” Cold Snow pursued, “What kind of a person do you think, you are?”

The Ice Palace Master was silent for a moment, seemingly reminiscing about something, and only after a long time did she slowly speak, “I have always hoped that you would become a strong person, someone who can stand even in the face of a raging storm.”

When Cold Snow heard this, her heart trembled slightly, and the teacup in her hand shook gently, the tea in the cup rippling.

“So, you have trained me to be a heartless person?” Cold Snow asked, a hint of imperceptible resentment in her tone.

The Ice Palace Master looked at Cold Snow, a complex look flashed in her eyes, she opened her mouth as if she wanted to explain something, but she didn’t know where to start.

“You’re doing fine.” In the end, she just said it faintly.

When Cold Snow sniffed, her heart was mixed, she knew that her mother, had always cared about her, only, the way she expressed her love, was too subtle and too deep, so much so, that she could not feel the slightest bit of warmth.

“Mother, I want to learn how to make tea.” Cold Snow suddenly said.

The Ice Palace Master was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then a pleased smile appeared on her face, “Alright, I’ll teach you.”

……

“Palace Lord is in a good mood.” Jian Wuji looked at the Ice Palace Master in front of him and said with a smile.

“Xue’er has come.” The Ice Palace Master said faintly, with a touch of joy on her face that was hard to hide.

“Congratulations Palace Master.” Jian Wuji said, “It seems that my advice was of some use after all.”

The Ice Palace Lord glanced at Jian Wuji and didn’t say anything, but she secretly nodded in her heart.

She now finally understood that those seemingly absurd actions of Jian Wuji before were actually for her good.

“However, I’m afraid that I’m going to spoil the Palace Master’s fun this time around.” Jian Wuji said with a twist of words.

“Oh? What is it?” The Ice Palace Lord asked.

“I want to kill Xu Luo.” Jian Wuji said in a calm tone, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

The Ice Palace Master did not feel surprised when she heard this, as if she had long anticipated that such a day would come.

“Reason.” She asked lightly.
