Chapter 1597 - 815: An Unbelievable Reason (Part 2)

"Your disciple?" Xiao Kuangyun stared blankly for a moment, then looked on in horror: "Chu Immortal, the disciple you’re referring to... could it be... Xia Qingyue?"

Xia Qingyue walked towards Chu Yue Li, respectfully saying: "Master."

As Xiao Yulong was completely stunned, a single word caused Xiao Kuangyun’s face to twitch violently. The entire Xiao Family and all the nobles of Fuyun City were dumbfounded, shocked to the point that their hearts nearly stopped.

Heavens! The daughter of the Xia Clan is actually a disciple of Frozen Cloud Asgard! Unexpectedly, a disciple of Frozen Cloud Asgard has been within Fuyun City this whole time!!

The faces of those looking at Xia Qingyue transformed into expressions of shock and awe. The way they looked at Xia Hongyi also changed suddenly.

Xiao Yulong stood there for a long time and suddenly broke into a cold sweat. Xia Qingyue is actually a disciple of Frozen Cloud Asgard... In the past, he had tried his hardest to harass her, but he ended up in an embarrassing situation. He still harbored resentment for it, yet as he thought of this, it was as if everything left in his life vanished! Attempting to seize freedom with a disciple of Frozen Cloud Asgard—how many people in the Blue Wind Empire have such courage?

Compared to being forcibly separated between Xiao Che and Xia Qingyue, this was nothing. It was a plan he provided to Xiao Kuangyun, so that after Xiao Che left, Xiao Kuangyun could obtain Xia Qingyue, but it failed... If Frozen Cloud Asgard discovered this, he was destined for a tragic end.

Xiao Yulong looked towards Xiao Kuangyun’s face devoid of color, drenched in cold sweat.

"So... it turns out Xia Qingyue unexpectedly is your noble disciple, this... eldest third student was not aware beforehand, which led to this misunderstanding."

If it were a disciple of the Xiao Sect, Xiao Kuangyun would never let it go. But Frozen Cloud Asgard is different! The disciples of Frozen Cloud Asgard are unrelated by blood. Their disciples are all female, selected from the most talented individuals of the Blue Wind Empire. As a result, they are the smallest sect of the Four Major Sects. However, they still rank second among the four major factions, clearly indicating their extraordinary skills. Every disciple in Frozen Cloud Asgard is highly talented, none of them mediocre. Each one of them is under the protection of their Asgard. If he provoked a disciple of a small sect, it might just be a small matter. But if he offended a disciple of another sect, it typically led to their death. Yet to provoke Frozen Cloud Asgard... even the lowest-ranked female disciple, Frozen Cloud Asgard would not yield, would not provide a satisfying answer, nor would they abandon them!

"Misunderstanding? It better just be a misunderstanding. Will you continue to rip my disciple’s marriage certificate apart?" Chu Yue Li glanced downward, no one dared face her gaze, coldly inquiring. Although she was just a woman, all the men present felt as if she were a Fairy of the Moon Palace. As ordinary people, they felt ashamed of their inferiority and sensed a gap between themselves and her. In essence, they dared not risk a single look.

"Since it is a misunderstanding, how dare I?" Xiao Kuangyun responded calmly: "However, as the eldest third student, I am puzzled by one matter... Though this eldest third student may not understand many things, it is understood that the fairies of Ice Sealed Cloud Asgard are forbidden from harboring passions and must restrain their desires. They have never been allowed to marry, but why is Xia Qingyue allowed..."

"Hmph! Although my Asgard’s ’Frozen Cloud Art’ does indeed require self-control and restraint, it has never forbidden disciples from marrying. Qingyue joined my Asgard at the age of twelve but was unwilling to return with me to Asgard, merely to wait to marry Xiao Che at sixteen. This was not out of passion, but because of her kindness and dedication. Faced with such immense righteousness and sincere nature, naturally, my Asgard would not hinder this. Even if my Asgard were to prohibit marriage, this may have been the greatest exception. Mr. Xiao, do you have any other questions?" Chu Yue Li coldly replied. Someone speaking in a bland voice, every letter echoed in their ears, enwrapped in ice. It caused the heart to endure uncontrollable chills, preventing anyone from daring to propose any disputable ideas.

"No, this indeed is a misunderstanding." Xiao Kuangyun hurriedly said. He had no choice but to turn to Xia Qingyue and say: "Fairy Xia, at that time, I was unaware you were a disciple of Frozen Cloud Asgard. Nevertheless, if you were offended, please don’t take it to heart."

The position of being the son of the Minor Sect Master was clearly higher than that of a disciple of Frozen Cloud Asgard, but with Chu Yue Li present, he had no choice but to recognize his position. In this inconspicuous and remote place, only Xiao Moshan, Xiao Ba, and Xiao Jiu were by his side. If he were to annoy Chu Yue Li anyway and displeased her, they might be completely obliterated on their way home. Afterward, they would be destroyed without a trace, dying in vain.

Before arriving at this garbage dump, how could he anticipate the unexpected appearance of a figure like Chu Yue Li?

Now, his desire to dip into Xia Qingyue’s faction was impossible, and he wasted half a day planning. In front of Chu Yue Li, he had no choice but to endure his true desires, feelings suppressed within. When his chest became heavy, he turned his gaze to Xiao Lingxi... Even though Xia Qingyue was already a failed endeavor, there was another reason! Chu Yue Li would protect Xia Qingyue, but she wouldn’t protect the stranger Xiao Lingxi! Otherwise, she would have appeared when Xiao Che was being expelled, not just when she was observing Xia Qingyue.

Indeed, concerning Chu Yue Li, she only cared for Xia Qingyue. For those unrelated to her, she did not care at all. Furthermore, she had no reason and wasn’t even obligated to intervene. "With Chu Immortal’s arrival, your small family might be obscured by her presence! Therefore, we should commence the business here today." Xia Kuangyun’s complexion changed as he stared at Xiao Lingxi: "Now... Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu first, catch the thief who stole the Mysterious Opening Powder! Tomorrow, the criminal will be brought back to the Xiao Sect for execution!"

The sentence "Tomorrow, bring the criminal back to the Minor Sect for handling!" once again enabled the foolish ones to understand the obvious reason behind Xiao Kuangyun’s despicable shameless enactment. Although the charges onstage had already been exposed by Xiao Che to everyone, it was suppressed under the absolute rule of the Xiao Sect, and Xiao Kuangyun merely continued to implement these charges without delay.

"Yes, young Master!"

Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu simultaneously left the platform to apprehend Xiao Lingxi.

"Master!" Xia Qingyue, seeing this, quickly gave a meaningful indication to Chu Yue Li, hoping she would help protect Xiao Lingxi... at least, not let Xiao Kuangyun take her away. However, Chu Yue Li still was unaware and made no response.

Xia Qingyue’s expression became even more anxious during her plea: "Master, you have seen how Xiao Kuangyun targeted me today; due to our involvement, Xiao Che was expelled and suffered. Before leaving, he asked me to protect his grandfather and Little Aunt. I have agreed... consider this the last thing I do for him; after this incident, I will immediately follow Master back to Frozen Cloud Asgard and remain in Asgard, and meditate for cultivation in a profound manner... I ask Master to fulfill this request!"

Chu Yue Li let out a gentle sigh, her eyes brimming with light. She raised her right hand and gently waved.

In an instant, a gust of cold air suddenly emerged. Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu suddenly felt a chill and stopped in their tracks, daring not to advance further.

Xiao Kuangyun took a deep breath, his expression subtly changed: "Chu Immortal, what does this mean? Chu Immortal criticizes my Minor Sect for engaging noble disciples in marriage... but, as we handle my Xiao Sect affairs, is Chu Immortal still intending to interfere?"

"No! I am not interested in involving myself in your small sect affairs." Chu Yue Li calmly and composedly said, unwavering: "I am unfamiliar with these matters, as a result, I moved on a whim. Since you mentioned this as your minor sect’s matter, is Xiao Lingxi one of your minor sect’s people?"

Xiao Kuangyun shook his head: "No! She stole the Mysterious Opening Powder of my Xiao Sect!"
