Chapter 1676 - 991: Charisma

"Given Mr. Sui’s demeanor and cultivation, he would certainly not act this way..."

"Would he?"

"He would."

Sui Yi laughed, "So I must meet the Frost King Lord... Shall we talk here?"

Seo Qingfeng squinted his eyes, "Teacher, are you afraid I’ll scare the students?"

"You already have."

Uh...

Seo Qingfeng glanced around, indeed, each looked like a quail.

He withdrew his gaze and said flatly, "What is your cultivation level, teacher?"

Not asking about the train, nor about the Ice Gleam High Wall, and certainly not about the Thousand Buddha assassination.

Just asking about your cultivation.

Right to the point.

Does he need to investigate or verify anything?

Just confirming Sui Yi’s cultivation strength, many issues can be resolved.

And with Seo Qingfeng’s question, many suddenly remembered this teacher has been genteel from the start—if we talk about strength.

Han Feigong stood tens of meters away, looking at the woman, graceful and poised under the bamboo, in the courtyard. Suddenly, she felt something...

This gaze...

Of course, Han Feigong didn’t have time to ponder as she saw figures approaching from a distance.

Seo Xinyan?

More than one Seo Xinyan, it seems many are interested in the literary teacher who rose to fame in just a few days.

However, being approached by Seo Qingfeng, it seems he is not just a literary teacher.

Under a large tree in the corner, a graceful woman held a book, swaying as she looked ahead.

How would Mr. Sui respond?

"I thought my cultivation was as apparent as my clothes; it’s already laid out in the open."

Out in the open, SS level, obviously.

Can’t see it? Still ask? Are you blind?

SS?

Seo Qingfeng wasn’t impressed, his thick brows raised, "I’ve dealt with two cases linked to you somehow. Hence, teacher, how do you view coincidence?"

Sui Yi smiled slightly, "You should add a third case."

"Oh?"

"I happened to join Ice Gleam Academy, the most important one, isn’t it?"

Because I just happened to be in Ice Gleam Academy, that’s why I’m suspected.

"Then, why did you join Ice Gleam Academy, teacher?"

"Wanted to read books, but only students and teachers could... I felt too old to be a student, and coincidentally stumbled upon the literary teacher recruitment."

Sui Yi answered frankly, with no particular flair.

Seo Qingfeng frowned slightly, "Nothing else?"

"If there was anything else... I couldn’t tell you either."

Sui Yi smiled like that, Seo Qingfeng was stunned.

Others nearby were also caught off guard.

Is this literary teacher teasing the Frost King Lord?

Many Ice Spirit Guards exchanged glances, the most handsome among them peeked at Sui Yi.

He remembered her.

The one writing on the train.

However...

Sui Yi pointed her slender index finger up at the sky.

"If I said I wish to ascend above, but couldn’t; only seeking the closest place to it, would you believe me?"

Honestly, no suspect has ever dared to ask the Frost King Lord back, "Do you believe what you’re saying?"

Damn, a rebel, right!

No way I’m not taking you down.

Seo Qingfeng’s hand clutched the long sword at his waist, just like when he hunted Flame Eagle, strong, cold....

"Teacher doesn’t fear my sword?"

"Some matters, asking with a sword is indeed the quickest way."

Yi arrived just in time to see Seo Qingfeng’s sword-holding stance.

She squinted her eyes.

So murderous.

Sui Yi tilted her head slightly, looking at the cold Ice Spirit Guards, and their leader.

Many were frightened; some students hesitated to speak.

After a moment.

This talented, romantic literary teacher gently shook her sleeves, smiled faintly: "The strongest law enforcement sword practitioner must decide three things before going out: one, whom to find; two, what’s the matter; three, to kill or not."

"Frost King Lord sought me to ascertain my true depth, as for to kill or not, since it was declared a meeting from the start, it must surely be just a meeting."

Find someone, ask questions, don’t kill!

Decided from the start, Seo Qingfeng wouldn’t change.

If he did, he wouldn’t be the strongest law enforcer.

Thus, Sui Yi felt no pressure.

Some bamboo leaves on her head’s green crown were beautiful, spinning beautifully in the air...

Instead, under Sui Yi’s calm gaze, Seo Qingfeng felt exposed.

This feeling is strange.

"I’ve heard those with literary essence most fear not the wielders of executions, on the contrary, people like me least favor teachers like you."

Sees too clearly, words unable to respond.

The ancient laws detested interrogating literary scholars for a reason.

"Hmm, my mistake."

Sui Yi smiled lightly.

Breeze and clouds clear.

Seo Qingfeng silently released his grip, the murderous aura fading.

Many breathed a sigh of relief.

Gao Li and others were speechless; who is scarier, Frost King or Snow Lord?

Of course, it’s the Frost King.

Yet such a refined individual, with a cultivation level merely at SS, managed to halt the Frost King’s assertiveness with just a few words, or perhaps the control had always been with her.

In comparison, their group’s combined prowess far exceeded this woman’s, yet they couldn’t escape being fiercely suppressed by the Snow Lord.

What do you call this?

Presence.

Ah Qi felt that this woman had great presence.

Of course, this kind of presence was different from that of the woman who transformed and killed Yan Xue and others before.

But there was a similarity.

Seo Qingfeng was silent, yet he seemed not to have the intention to leave directly; rather, he seemed to be waiting for something...

It was only a short while.

The Snow Lord arrived.

He saw the Frost King, paused, and his expression became somewhat peculiar, as though he hesitated to speak directly.

Hmm...

Sui Yi speculated that if the Frost King’s behavior was motivated by a Virgo-like cautious eccentricity, then perhaps the Snow Lord also came seeking her.

Sui Yi’s gaze skimmed over the arrows clutched beneath his palm.

On them, the curse technique... lingered with traces of frost.

Could it be...

Sui Yi’s heart skipped a beat.

The Snow Lord suddenly spoke.

"Mr. Sui?"

This was interesting indeed; one belonged to the Government District under a direct subordinate while also part of Ice Venerable’s immediate unit, the Ice Spirit Guard, the other seemed unaware of her identity though she was part of the core institution of Ice Gleam Academy.

That call even held a question mark.

Sui Yi looked towards the Snow Lord.

His gentle voice seemed to swirl around his throat.

"Snow Lord?"

A chuckle followed, also in a questioning tone.

The Snow Lord’s eyes showed slight change, saying calmly: "The Ice Master requests your presence."

Well then, first invited by the Frost King, and then the Ice Master!

The significance of each was greater than the last!

Sui Yi felt that...

This matter was quite peculiar.

But was refusal an option?

She glanced at Seo Qingfeng, whose eyes showed a hint of doubt, and smiled: "Seems I must go..."

Seo Qingfeng caught some implied meaning in Sui Yi’s gaze, causing his eyes to darken.

"Please lead the way, Snow Lord."

Sui Yi was just exiting the courtyard...

She had just stepped out.

The small turtle swayed.

She looked towards the Snow Lord, who squinted and made a gesture indicating Sui Yi could accept.

After accepting it,

Yaohua: "Teacher, I’m currently inside Ice Gleam Academy; there’s something I must discuss with you in person. Are you available now?"

"I’m afraid I’m not available."

"Eh? Teacher, are you encountering some trouble?"

"Not really trouble...."

"Hold on; we’ll be there soon."

We? Another person?

At that moment, Sui Yi suddenly sensed the small turtle being targeted, as if a powerful and mysterious energy locked onto the turtle’s information channel, and then...

Transmission.

When the teleportation array activated, the Frost King’s sword unsheathed, while the Snow Lord’s body was covered in ice and snow.

Pressuring!

The force was so powerful that both commander-level figures reacted instinctively, as did their Ice Spirit Guards and nearby enforcement squads, all of whom rapidly mobilized, releasing a vast and imposing aura.

Clearly, the lock didn’t spare Sui Yi; it seemed the next second she could be annihilated.

Yi’s fist clenched, her other hand grasping the railing; in an instant, she could leap forward.

And Sui Yi...

She dangled the small turtle with two slender and beautiful fingers, her beautiful eyes slightly squinted...

Buzz.

The teleportation array arrived.

Three figures appeared before them.

One was Yaohua, and there were two others....

Two men: one looking middle-aged, rather somber and reserved, the other appearing somewhat young, handsome and elegant, exuding a profound literary charisma, dressed in a flowing white robe, with a string of Buddha beads etched with jade bone carvings hanging from his waist, adorned with tassels, his features sharp and clear like lofty mountains, his gaze softly scanning, encompassing both Sui Yi and the surrounding kill aura along with others’ suspicions in his sight.

He smiled slightly.

"Yaohua told me, though the teacher possesses boundless knowledge and cares deeply for the Cang Mountains, he is always a gentle and elegant individual, yet, to attract the attention of the two strongest ground enforcement squads from the Ice Gleam District at the same time, I can only say that outstanding people indeed cannot be buried in mediocrity."

The art of language lies in the ability to simultaneously engage both camaraderie and aggression, internally and externally.

The Frost King and Snow Lord were initially stunned by the individual’s appearance, causing their killing intent to fade significantly.

Upon hearing these words, the Snow Lord gave Sui Yi a sideways glance and said: "Mr. Sect Master has ties with the teacher? If you wish to reminisce, you must wait until after she meets with the Ice Master...."

"Those who have been seen by the Ice Master are rarely able to leave alive.... Although I’m meeting the teacher for the first time, she could be considered the most radiant jewel of my Ice Heart Studio. Furthermore, my relationship with the Ice Master is not amicable.... It’s always good to provoke him a bit."

Thus, the Sect Master of Ice Heart Studio flicked his fingers, buzz!

A fairly sized space defense shield isolated Sui Yi from the Frost King, Snow Lord, and others.

Encapsulating Sui Yi for protection.

Uh... very strong.

Above fourth-level cloud.

Stronger than the Frost King, but possibly not a match for the combined forces of the Frost King and Snow Lord, because this Sect Master was a rare and formidable space magician.

Sweeping glances at both sides, Sui Yi remained silent, for she sensed someone coming.

The temperature suddenly dropped.

Sui Yi saw the Ice Master’s arrival.
