Chapter 0418 – Devil Young Treading Snow – Absolute Return

The Ice Palace Master stood in front of the window, gazing vacantly at the scenery outside, but her heart was turning over, and it was difficult to calm down.

Xu Luo’s words before he died were like maggots on her bones, lingering in her mind and upsetting her.

“Palace Master.”

Cold Snow’s voice pulled the Ice Palace Master back from his contemplation.

“You’re here.” The Ice Palace Master turned around and looked at her daughter, a trace of tenderness flashing in her eyes.

“The Young Sect Master and I, we are preparing to head to the Northern Blood Sect.” Cold Snow said.

The Ice Palace Lord nodded, she knew that this trip was treacherous, but she trusted Jian Wuji and also her own daughter.

“Be careful all the way here.” The Ice Palace Master admonished.

Cold Snow’s trip was not just to report this matter to the Ice Palace Lord, she was more worried about her mother’s mood. Xu Luo’s betrayal was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Ice Palace Master.

“Are you alright?” Cold Snow looked at the Ice Palace Master with concern in her eyes.

The Ice Palace Master smiled faintly and said, “I’m fine, you don’t have to worry.”

She didn’t want her daughter to worry about her, so she forced a smile and hid the hurt inside.

“That’s good.” Cold Snow nodded, but there was still some worry in her heart.

She recalled what Jian Wuji had said to her before her departure, “Be sure to put your concern into words.”

Jian Wuji had a delicate mind and saw through her at a glance, knowing that she had made this trip because she was concerned about her mother.

“Mother, are you really alright?” Cold Snow asked again, her tone carrying a hint of worry that was hard to hide.

The Ice Palace Master’s heart warmed as she looked at her daughter’s concerned eyes, she knew that her daughter really cared about herself.

“I’m really fine.” The Ice Palace Master smiled and said, “You don’t need to worry about me, it’s you, you must be careful when you go to the Northern Blood Sect this time.”

“I will.” Coldsnow nodded and said, “Then we’re off.”

“Go.” The Ice Palace Master said, “I’ll wait for you to return.”

As Cold Snow turned to leave, the Ice Palace Master looked at his daughter’s back, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

She knew that her daughter had grown up and was no longer the little girl who needed her protection.

“Xue’er, you must return safely.” The Ice Palace Lord murmured.

……

Summer Knot walked out of the secret room and went straight to Yang Shi’s residence.

He had just walked to the door when he saw Yang Shi standing there, seemingly waiting for him.

“Where have you been again?” Yang Shi asked, a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

“I went to see the Gate Master.” Summer Knot said.

Every time he left Yang Shi’s side, he would use this excuse, and Yang Shi had long known this.

Yang Shi was always suspicious of Xia Jie, not only because the other party often left him, but more importantly, he always felt that his father, his attitude towards Xia Jie, was a little too close.

“You’ve worked hard.” Yang Shi suddenly said, his tone much milder.

“This is for you.”

Yang Shi said, handing a bulging money bag, to Xia Jie.

Xia Jie took the money bag and opened it to see that it was filled with three hundred taels of silver tickets.

“This ……” Summer Knot was a little surprised, it wasn’t a small amount of money.

“Take it, this is what you deserve.” Yang Shi said, “In the future, follow me well, I won’t treat you badly.”

Yang Shi changes his strategy, he decides that he will use money to bribe Xia Jie to become his confidant, so that he can get to know his father’s secret through Xia Jie.

‘I should have done this a long time ago.’

Yang Shi secretly said in his heart that he regretted that he had been too impulsive before, that he had neglected this important figure of Xia Jie because of his resentment towards his father.

“In the future, please take care of Mr. Yang.” Xia Jie said, a hint of respect on his face.

Just then, a guard walked over and reported, “Mr. Yang, the young master of the Ice Palace seeks an audience.”

“Why is she here?” Yang Shi was a bit surprised when he heard this, he didn’t expect Cold Snow to pay another visit so soon.

“Did she say what she came for?” Yang Shi asked.

“She said that she brought an honored guest that she wanted to introduce to you.” The guard said.

“Noble guest?” Yang Shi’s heart stirred as he immediately thought of the Demon Sect’s Young Sect Master.

“I know, you go down.” Yang Shi said.

“Let’s go.”

Yang Shi said, and then led Xia Jie, towards the guest hall.

He couldn’t wait to meet that Demon Sect’s Young Sect Master and see what kind of god he was.

Xia Jie followed behind Yang Shi, but her face was a bit gloomy.

”People from the Demon Sect, so soon?”

In his heart, he said that the Demon Cult’s actions were more rapid than he had imagined.

”Moreover, they even directly approached Yang Shi?”

Summer Knot had a vague feeling in her heart that something was not good.

He quickened his pace and followed Yang Shi.

……

Cold Snow and Sword Wuji, had been waiting in the guest hall for a long time.

Unlike last time, this time, they were prepared for anything.

Although Cold Snow was usually unperturbed by changes, at this moment, in her heart, she was inevitably a little nervous.

She turned her head to look at Jian Wuji, only to see that he looked calm, as if everything was under his control.

“Aren’t you nervous at all?” Coldsnow asked.

Jian Wuji smiled and said, “Why should I be nervous?”

“Aren’t you afraid, that the plan will fail?” Cold Snow asked.

“If the plan fails, think of another way.” Jian Wuji said, “As long as we don’t give up, there will definitely be hope for success.”

Cold Snow’s heart settled down quite a bit as she sniffed.

“You’re right.” She said, “We’re going to make it.”

Just then, the door to the room opened and Yang Shi and Summer Knot walked in.

“Fairy Cold, goodbye.” Yang Shi said with a smile.

“Mr. Yang, goodbye.” Cold Snow said, “Let me introduce you to an honored guest.”

As she said that, she introduced Jian Wuji to Yang Shi.

“This is the Demon Sect’s Young Sect Master, Sword Wuji.”

“I’ve heard a lot about you.” Yang shi bowed his hand towards Jian Wu Ji and said in a respectful tone.

He carefully sized up Jian Wuji, secretly surprised in his heart.

Jian Wuji looked, even younger than he had imagined, and, with his handsome appearance and extraordinary temperament, he was completely unlike the people he had imagined to be in the Demon Sect.

“Nice to meet you.” Jian Wuji said indifferently.

“I heard that the Young Sect Master, personally investigated the case of the murder of the original owner of the Hundred Wine Snow Plains?” Yang Shi asked.

“That matter, I’ve already found out.” Jian Wuji said.

“Oh? Who is the murderer?” Yang Shi asked.
