Chapter 2280: Xue Jing Xiao
Edited by RED
Snow Clan, a silvery-white snowy world…
On a vast snowy field, two young people seated in the snow, looking at each other. In front of them was a teapot. Surprisingly, water could still boil there.
“Jing Xiao, many years ago, I hoped you’d come to the Ice and Snow Shrine to study. But you always refused. Now, you’re already so strong, you can’t refuse anymore,” smiled the younger person. Snowflakes covered them.
Xue Jing Xiao smiled back and said, “Di Jiang, you’re perseverant.”
“You’re such a good friend, I wish we could study in the Ice and Snow Shrine together. That’s why I’ve been trying for so long. Think about it. We’ve known each other for thirty years, the first time I invited you, you refused, and we even had a big fight!” said Di Jiang, smiling warmly. “Now, we’re both public figures. Our youth was funny.”
“I remember. Back then, I thought I could defeat you, even if you were from a Shrine!” Xue Jing Xiao laughed.
“I’ve never defeated you, either.” said Di Jiang laughing. He took a sip of tea and said, “I’ve been spending time with my beloved sister. If you don’t ask, I’ll be angry.”
“How’s Di Chan?” Xue Jing Xiao grinned.
“You always refuse to join the Shrine, do you think she’s happy?” Di Jiang said to Xue Jing Xiao. He rolled his eyes.
Xue Jing Xiao smiled wryly, “So many years, you understand me. I don’t have emotions. Emotions would prevent me from becoming a stronger cultivator.”
“Chan has said she would never prevent you from becoming stronger,” said Di Jiang, “Don’t you trust her? Or like her?”
“Don’t provoke me. I like her, too. She knows that.” said Xue Jing Xiao.
When Di Jiang heard that, he smiled happily, “So many years have passed, I’ve been waiting for you to say that.”
Xue Jing Xiao stood up. He said calmly, “Now, a Forbidden Person has appeared. The Continent of the Nine Clouds is going to change.”
Xue Jing Xiao gazed into the distance. Di Jiang was startled. The Ice and Snow Shrine had heard about that, how had he?
“A few days ago, Huo Xing Zi from the Fire Shrine proposed a marriage alliance to the Void Phoenix Clan. They’re progressing, it’s only a matter of time. They want to form an alliance with a Shrine to become stronger,” said Di Jiang calmly. He was putting it in a way which made the Void Phoenix Clan look cheap. But the Shrines had many cultivators like Huo Xing Zi; if they could all get married with women from Holy Sage Ruler Clans, then it would be beneficial for everybody.
“So you came to me,” said Xue Jing Xiao, smiling.
Di Jiang nodded calmly. “I’ve heard that a genius has appeared in the Snow Clan, and that he was walking on the same path as the four monarchs,” said Di Jiang mused.
Xue Jing Xiao nodded, “You’re talking about Zhe Tian. Indeed, he’s astonishingly talented. In the future, he’ll be much stronger than me.”
When Di Jiang heard about Zhe Tian, he shivered. He was even stronger than he had thought then, he couldn’t actually imagine…
“But don’t try to make him join the Ice and Snow Shrine. The four monarchs are strong. Xue Ao is talented, but his personality isn’t good enough. If Zhe Tian managed to control himself and stayed in the Snow Clan, he would be able to become the king of the Snow Clan. If he can’t, I’ll help Xue Ao. They can’t join the Ice and Snow Shrine though,” said Xue Jing Xiao calmly. The Snow Clan’s future king couldn’t join any Shrine. It was a rule!
Di Jiang nodded. He understood.
“Come with me to the Shrine for a walk?” Di Jiang asked Xue Jing Xiao.
“Alright, let’s go and see Di Chan,” Xue Jing Xiao nodded. They both got ready to leave for the Ice and Snow Shrine.
