Chapter 1541 — Stay With You for a Lifetime! "Sort of," Said Wei Zhao
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Only at this moment did the Ice Palace Master finally realize just how heaven-defying the aptitude of this pair of lovers, Wei Zhao and Feng Xiaoxiao, truly was! She could not tell what kind of aptitude Wei Zhao possessed, but he was absolutely more gifted than even the geniuses of those ancient sects!
Of course, even so, the Ice Palace Master harbored no designs on him, for no matter how formidable Wei Zhao might be, he was unsuited to cultivate the Ice Palace's cultivation method. Only Feng Xiaoxiao was the one they sought to win over!
"Since you have seen through it, I will speak plainly. I was only asking Aunt Qing whether she had passed on to you our Ice Palace's wish to take Xiaoxiao as a disciple," the Ice Palace Master said. "Just now I saw you two being affectionate, and I was afraid of disturbing you, that is all."
"I answered that I had already told you, but you gave me no definite reply," Xiaoqing added.
Wei Zhao nodded. Although the Ice Palace Master's claim that she did not wish to disturb them was surely just an excuse, judging by the way she spoke with Xiaoqing, he knew they were not lying. What they had discussed before must have been just this.
The Ice Palace Master was not good at lying, nor did she have any need to lie, so Wei Zhao said nothing more, only asking, "I see. May I talk with Xiaoxiao alone?"
"Of course you may!" the Ice Palace Master nodded, and with that she took Xiaoqing by the hand, turned, and withdrew from the guest room.
Letting Wei Zhao and Feng Xiaoxiao discuss it first was the best course. Once they had reached a decision, the Ice Palace Master might not need to say much more at all.
Once the Ice Palace Master and Xiaoqing had gone out, Feng Xiaoxiao could wait no longer and threw herself back into Wei Zhao's arms, clinging to him tightly. "My husband Wei Zhao, I missed you to death. It was like a very, very long dream, and I was so afraid I would never wake up!"
"How could that be? I told you I would surely bring you back to life!" Wei Zhao laughed, patting Feng Xiaoxiao on the back. "How do you feel now?"
"Much better, and not as cold as I was before I fell unconscious," Feng Xiaoxiao said.
"That is good!" Wei Zhao set Feng Xiaoxiao down and held her gently in his arms, suddenly feeling that this moment was pure happiness! The two of them had passed through a love of life and death, and both cherished this feeling all the more.
"By the way, my husband Wei Zhao, that Ice Palace Master said she wants to take me as a disciple on behalf of her master, to have me join the Ice Palace..." Feng Xiaoxiao looked up at Wei Zhao, her eyes full of love and reluctance. Although she had been humming and hawing to put off the Ice Palace Master, she was a clever girl, and she knew well that if she wanted to live, staying in the Ice Palace was her only choice!
Although, if Wei Zhao told her to leave right now and return to Songshan City, Feng Xiaoxiao would go back without the slightest hesitation, the Ice Palace Master's words about staying by Wei Zhao's side for a lifetime still stirred her heart deeply!
Indeed, Wei Zhao was a cultivator. If his lifespan could truly be lengthened, while she died early, how lonely he would be. Though there were still Tang Zhi, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu, none of them were cultivators either, so Feng Xiaoxiao longed to keep walking beside Wei Zhao, for one lifetime, forever and ever.
"Mm, I know. So do you want to join the Ice Palace?" Wei Zhao drew a deep breath. In the end he still had to face this topic, for it would decide Feng Xiaoxiao's life or death, and it could not be avoided.
"I do not know... She said my constitution is perfectly suited to cultivating the Ice Palace's inner cultivation method..." Feng Xiaoxiao said. "But if I do not cultivate, I may die..."
"Did she tell you about the inheritance?" Wei Zhao asked.
