Chen Wentian informed the Glacier Palace disciples of the arrangement with the Immortal Association. They were confused and he had to explain that as administrator their sect's future was under his control. This included all disciples, resources, secret arts, and territory. He assured them that he wasn't their master so they did not have an obligation to obey his decisions if they did not like them.

The truth was that their lives were in his hands and he was simply being nice to them. After all, some of the women had great potential to be his disciples. However, he certainly wasn't going to be nice to Divine Blazing Mountain. Gong Liyun was not going to care unless his actions were too vile and despicable. Those men had ruined so many women and his hands were itching to mete out some punishment.

Before he left, he handed out spare supplies and medicine from his spatial bag and instructed Long Yifei to lead the women back to Crystal Bamboo City. He promised to meet them there and visit Glacier Palace together.

He then flew into the air and headed back to his disciples. He was interested to see the reaction of the ice sisters to this new development. He knew Xu Lanyi would be happy and he hoped the rest would be as well.

”Master!”

”Hey girls.” Chen Wentian found the ice sisters training near Black Rock City.

They greeted him eagerly and he gave each of them a hug.

”So?” Xu Lanyi poked him impatiently.

The other four also looked at him, waiting for his news.

”Ah, this might come as a surprise…” Chen Wentian scratched his head, ”Both sect masters of Glacier Palace and Divine Blazing Mountain are dead and so are the elders on both sides… And, I've been assigned as administrator for both sects by the Immortal Association.”

”What?”

”No… really?”

”Hahaha!”

Expectedly, Xu Lanyi was the one that burst out laughing. Song Wushung slapped her on the arm but she herself could not hide a pleased expression. The twins were more shocked than anything while Li Yuechan had a more reserved expression.

”Yeah… it's a long story.” Chen Wentian said.

He shoved them all into the large single tent they had set up in the snowy forest. They gathered inside in the cozy warmth and listened as he retold the series of events.

He started from the beginning, describing Murong Aiyin's misuse of the Frozen Netherworld Jade. He explained that she had been suffering the same pain that they had experienced while dual cultivating but that she had no way to remove it.

They shuddered trying to imagine going through that level of suffering day after day. Their faces grew darker when he got to the part about Murong Aiyin selling out her disciples to get treatment.

”That is vile!” Su Xue cried.

”That bitch, I knew it!” Xu Lanyi yelled angrily.

They were all dismayed that their former master could betray her disciples like that.

Li Yuechan and Song Wushuang were sitting beside Chen Wentian and he pulled them into his embrace. He gave both of them a kiss on the cheeks. ”Girls, don't worry. I cherish you all forever.” He said.

They all rolled their eyes at the same time.

Chen Wentian wanted to punish them for their impudence but suppressed his desires and continued with the story. From the abuse the women suffered to the auction and to the 'treatment' happening below the lake, he described everything he or his shadow anchors witnessed. By the time he finished the tale with the final battle, the five of them had all bunched up around him on the large comfortable bed.

”… in the end, Gong Liyun arrived after both of them died and gave me the assignment of administrator. I'll be visiting both sects soon to figure out what to do.” He concluded.

”So, you're saying you were able to save all the remaining Glacier Palace disciples?” Xu Lanyi asked.

”Yes, they are all safe and… mmm!”

Xu Lanyi had tackled him and wrapped her lips around his. Her kiss was hot and desperate and she didn't care if her sisters were watching. Su Xue and Su Yue gasped at her audacity while the other two laughed.

”Thank you…” Xu Lanyi mumbled as she finally pulled away.
