Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

"Hmm... I don't know what I saw, it looked like a box."

"A box?" Yunping quickly summoned a simple-looking box from his storage ring. "Is it like this?"

Ye Yuchan looked closely and exclaimed, "This isn't the one we got in the secret realm back then..."

Yes, what Yunping is showing Ye Yuchan now is the small box that contained the Silver Frost Flower in the secret realm.

Looking at these things she knew nothing about, Zhang Ruoxue couldn't help but mutter, "You two have really gone to quite a few places behind my back."

"Hahaha..." Ye Yuchan could only laugh awkwardly at Zhang Ruoxue's teasing, then shook her head at Yun Ping, "The box I saw was different from this one, but..."

"but?"

"But it's very similar... to be precise, the aura is very similar."

Ye Yuchan could feel it. As she slowly brought her hand closer to the small box, a cold, frosty aura emanated from inside the box, instantly freezing a shard of ice in her palm.

She wasn't intimidated by the cold air; instead, she stared thoughtfully at her palms.

"Yes, that feeling..."

"It feels just like the box I saw."

"Is that so..."

This box contains what Yunping prepared for his second apprentice, the cross-dressing master Jiang Yuetian.

It is the best material for him to break through to the Kaiyuan stage.

—Silver Frost Flower.

If Ye Yuchan's feeling was correct, then the box she accidentally stumbled upon in Fan Luokui's hand should also have contained the Silver Frost Flower.

In addition, given her past attempt to compete with Yunping for the Silver Frost Flower, Yunping was certain that she had a reason to obtain it.

A very special reason that cannot be told to anyone else.

"I see...I see..."

Yunping nodded; he had already guessed it, or rather, he had guessed most of it.

Recalling what Hu Xiaolin had said to him back then, he was certain—

Hu Xiaolin must know about this.

And they must also know that just a few years ago, the main culprit behind that incident...

The murderer who almost poisoned Fan Luokui back then.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have said those things.

Please...

Please help her.

But that's not enough yet.

That's not enough; he needs some other evidence.

Or rather, evidence that could convince him of his guesses and ideas.

If Yunping wants to obtain these, he must do so within these three days...

Yes, he was going to meet with an old friend again.

"Looks like I'll have to talk to Xiaozhu again..."

102. Come on, let the fighting begin!

"So you don't believe me?"

In the pitch-black, bottomless Shadow Ice Abyss, the young man's indifferent words echoed all around.

He seemed very certain, but his tone was as if he were questioning someone.

"It's not that I don't want to believe you, but what you're saying doesn't match what I know."

The person being questioned spoke slowly, his voice revealing an ethereal quality that ordinary people could not possess.

Anyone with normal hearing can immediately tell that this person must be a woman.

"To put it bluntly, you just don't want to believe it, right?"

"If you were in that situation, would you believe it?"

……

A brief silence.

After a period of internal reflection, the young man exhaled a long breath.

"Indeed, if it were me, I wouldn't want to believe such a thing either."

"Then it's understandable that I wouldn't believe it."

"That's true—but I can help you see the truth of the matter."

"the truth?"

The young man paused for a moment, then revealed his entire plan.

The young man had no need to hide anything from the woman before him, because she was one of the very few people in the world who would never betray him.

……

After listening to the young man's account of the events, the woman, who had been hiding in the shadows for so long, fell silent.

She seemed to be thinking, but clearly, she didn't have much time to hesitate any longer.

"Ok."

In the end, she compromised.

"Let's do as you say—indeed, by doing as you say, we can see clearly...whether I am really wrong."

"I will prove it."

A faint smile curved the young man's lips; it was a smile of unwavering confidence, a smile that showed he didn't believe he would lose.

"I will prove it with my body."

…………

……

As one of the three inner palaces of the Arctic Palace, the Palace of Judgment is so well-equipped that it is almost comparable to a city.

Although the main body of the Palace of Judgment is only a five-story palace, in reality, the area within hundreds of miles around it is actually the territory of the Palace of Judgment.

Of course, in terms of coverage, the Court of Judgments is the palace with the widest coverage within the Arctic Palace—after all, they are the people's police, and if they didn't patrol the entire Arctic Palace, they would definitely be criticized for idling while enforcing the law.

As the only one of the three inner palaces capable of unconditionally enforcing the laws and regulations of the Northern Ice Palace, the Judgment Palace has particularly stringent rules for joining its main force, the Judgment Brigade.

First, if a cultivator wants to join the Judgment Team, their cultivation level must be at least at the Spirit Platform stage. If they haven't even reached the Spirit Platform stage, they don't even qualify to be a basic member, let alone a squad leader.

Secondly, to join the Judgment Team, one must pass through layers of screening. The combat level and various qualities of cultivators need to be tested to a certain extent at the Eastern Martial Arts Arena. Only those with the most outstanding talent and the most tenacious will can join the Judgment Team and become reserve members.

To put it bluntly, it's pretty much the same as taking the police academy entrance exam—except that the world's moral education is still quite backward, so as long as you are exceptionally talented and have a strong will, no matter what level of resilience you have, you can join the trial team.

So it's not surprising that someone as headstrong and straightforward as Fan Luokui could become the captain of the trial team.

—Drill Ground.

Located in the eastern part of the Palace of Judgments, and closer to the magnificent palace, this area is generally used as a place for the judicial team to conduct troop-level training and select new recruits.

Occasionally, some bored members of the trial team, whose stomachs are aching from lack of time, will come here to practice their combat skills.

For some unknown reason, there were no idle judges with stomach aches today. In the vast martial arts arena, there were only a handful of people on the thousands of fighting rings.

Among them were two strangely dressed women standing on the stage, facing each other.

Of the two, the woman in the sailor uniform with cat ears, exuding perfect cuteness, had a serious face, and from her subtle expression, it was clear that she was quite embarrassed.

If you ask why—

Because she is about to have a battle with her senior sister, who recently entered the Spirit Platform stage but has now inexplicably reverted to the peak of the Profound Gate stage.

It was even required by my own teacher.

Yes, that's the old rogue who was lounging comfortably in a rocking chair under a parasol, sipping chilled drinks and reminiscing about how wonderful life was.

"Hey, I'm telling you, you're really going to let your two disciples fight?"

Sitting next to the old rogue was a woman whose entire body was wrapped in black gauze, almost completely concealing her. If one did not look closely, it would be difficult to even tell that she was a woman.

Neither Zhang Ruoxue nor Ye Yuchan had ever met this person before, but judging from their demeanor, they seemed to be old acquaintances.

Ye Yuchan was already used to this phenomenon. The old rogue had lived for so long, it was only natural that he would know a few old friends.

However, Zhang Ruoxue had a peculiar feeling about that person. The main reason was that the aura emanating from that woman was too powerful. Even though it was deliberately concealed, just one glance from her made her feel as if her soul was being suffocated.

She was definitely not an ordinary person—Zhang Ruoxue quickly realized this.

Faced with the question from an old acquaintance, Yunping poured himself a cup of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

"Let them fight. Anyway, I've already made our Xiaoyuchan suppress her cultivation. She may be a bit slow, but she can still do this little thing well."

Ye Yuchan almost exploded on the other end of the line, "Hey, you old pervert, do you think I can't hear you calling me stupid?!"

"Of course I knew you could hear me." Yun Ping silently took off his sunglasses, his deadpan eyes full of a teasing smile. "I said this specifically for you to hear, so come and hit me if you dare!"

"I've never heard of such a strange request before."

Drawing the bow and shooting the arrow were done in one smooth motion.

Ye Yuchan's arrows condensed much faster than last time. Yun Ping said that this was expected. He was aware of just how terrifying this girl's talent was.

Faced with the rapidly approaching arrow, Yun Ping casually twisted his head, causing the lightning-streaked arrow to graz his cheek with extreme precision.

He smirked, "Alright, alright, hurry up, it's so hot, you two should have a fight already, don't forget why we came here."

It's so hot outside...

Ye Yuchan and Zhang Ruoxue glanced at the snowflakes slowly falling from the sky. If it weren't for the spiritual energy covering their bodies, the little bit of cloth they were wearing would have frozen them and their blood into ice sculptures.

It was at this moment that an old acquaintance spoke up.
