"Come here." Ye Huitian's voice was not high-pitched, but it had an unquestionable majesty that echoed clearly between the beams and pillars of the palace, "Go to 'Snow Lodge' and ask Miss Qingxue to come forward and pay homage to Lord Ye."
An old butler standing in the shadow of the palace door moved upon hearing the sound, and slipped out silently like a ghost. When he bowed to accept the order, a trace of surprise and solemnity passed over his face that was extremely difficult to detect. He walked quickly but still maintained the silent etiquette of a servant of a wealthy family, and his figure quickly disappeared at the end of the long corridor leading to the deep palace.
Jiang Ping'an noticed a hint of surprise and surprise in the eyes of the two elders Ye Changtian and Ye Wentian, and guessed that Ye Qingxue might be a woman with stunning talent and beauty.
However, he had come into contact with many stunningly talented and beautiful women, so he didn't have much to look forward to.
About a stick of incense later, extremely light, almost non-existent footsteps came from deep in the corridor outside the hall. The sound was not deliberately soft, but a rhythm that was almost rubbing against ice crystals and vibrating with the cold air. It was cold and ethereal, as if it had come from snow and was not stained by dust.
The eyes of everyone in the palace were involuntarily drawn by the sound, and they all turned to the heavy palace door, which was engraved with the tracks of ancient stars.
The palace door slid inwards silently.
A cold air swept in without warning. It was not a biting cold wind, but a pure and clear coldness, which instantly washed away the remaining alcohol and warmth in the hall, making people feel refreshed, as if they were on the top of a snow-capped mountain, looking up at the vast Starry Sky.
A slender figure slowly walked into the hall, bathed in the slightly cold skylight coming in from outside the door.
The person who came was dressed in plain white, the material of the clothes was neither silk nor satin. It was as smooth as fresh snow, without any complicated patterns. The wide sleeves and skirt moved with her steps, flowing naturally like water waves, and like the cold smoke under the moon, elegant and alienating. Her long black hair was only held loosely by a clear ice jade hairpin, and a few strands of hair hung down the side of her neck, making her skin look even more frosty and snow-like, almost transparent.
Her face is extremely beautiful, but it is not as bright and vivid as Lan Yu. Her beauty is still and solidified. It is the ice soul deep in the snow-capped mountains that has not melted for thousands of years. It is the cold and lonely projection under the laurel tree in the moon palace. A pair of eyes, like ink jade sinking in the deepest part of a cold pool, are astonishingly clear and astonishingly deep. As their eyes move, they seem to be able to penetrate all flashy appearances and get straight to the source. His eyes swept over the people in the hall, with a kind of alienation and indifference as if he were overlooking the world.
The temperature in the palace seemed to have dropped a bit. The air that was a little restless just now due to waiting was completely condensed at this moment. All the servants standing there held their breaths involuntarily. Even the arrogant young men like Ye Gucheng and Yang Tingyu, when the aftermath of that cold gaze swept across them, they subconsciously lowered their eyes slightly, not daring to look closely.
Ye Qingxue walked calmly to the palace. Facing Ye Huitian on the throne, he knelt down and performed an impeccable family ceremony. His posture was as elegant as the first blooming plum blossoms, and his voice was as clear as broken jade hitting each other. "Father."
Her eyes immediately turned to Ye Changtian and Ye Wentian, "Third uncle, seventeenth uncle." The courtesy was thorough, but there was a sense of alienation engraved in the bones, as if she was just an out of place passerby in this bustling palace.
A rare gentle smile appeared on Ye Huitian's face, with a kind of self-confidence in introducing treasures. He raised his hand to guide Jiang Ping'an: "Qingxue, come here, I have seen fellow Daoist Lord Ye and Ye Chenzhou."
Ye Qingxue turned around as he was told, and those calm dark jade eyes finally fell on Jiang Ping'an.
The moment when their eyes met.
Jiang Ping'an felt a sudden shock in his heart! Since his time traveling, he has gone through life and death battles to control the power of a city, and his will has been tempered to a rock solid state. Even in the face of the pressure of saints and the ferocity of wild beasts, he can still deal with it calmly. However, at this moment, when those clear eyes without a trace of impurity looked over, he felt an unprecedented chill quietly rising from the depths of his soul!
That's not hostility, nor is it coercion. That gaze was too pure, too penetrating, like a ruthless mirror above the nine heavens, or like a lens carved by thousands of years of ice. It could easily peel off all the shells he had carefully built, and shine directly into the deepest hidden corners that even he himself might not be willing to look directly at!
Jiang Ping'an still maintained a calm expression on his face, and there was even a faint smile at the corner of his lips, as if he had just met a beautiful woman for the first time.
"Qingxue pays homage to Lord Ye Fellow Daoist Ye." Ye Qingxue said to Jiang Ping'an, showing an equal courtesy to Jiang Ping'an.
Jiang Ping'an stood up and returned the greeting. "Good Qingxue Fairy."
After Ye Qingxue took her seat, Ye Huitian introduced Jiang Ping'an to her and said, "Lord Ye is the lord of Eastern Wilderness Azure Treasure Continent Ping'an City. Lord Ye is a man of great talent and strategy, and is highly respected in Human Race The oppressive Azure Treasure Continent built a Human Race majestic city to protect Azure Treasure Continent and all Human Race. Now Ping'an City is the second largest force in the Azure Treasure Continent, almost on par with the Azure Treasure Continent's Qingqiu City!"
Ye Qingxue Listening, the deserted face moved slightly, revealing a touch of admiration.
Ye Huitian continued to introduce, "What's even more rare is that Lord Ye is both civil and military. He just wrote three poems on Still Water Poetry Meet. All three poems are divine, which amazes everyone!"
Ye Qingxue turned to Jiang Ping'an and said, "I wonder what kind of poem Lord Ye wrote? Can you tell Qingxue about it?"
"It's Patriarch Ye who has overrated it." Jiang Ping'an said with a smile, "The poems held just now were all temporary creations. They were very rough. They were not good poems, so I won't say them out loud to offend Miss Qingxue's ears."
It's not like he has never seen a beautiful woman, so he won't do whatever Ye Qingxue asks him to do, or show his excellence to Ye Qingxue.
Ye Qingxue was slightly startled that someone actually rejected her request.
Seeing this, Ye Huitian smiled and said, "Lord Ye, I can't bear to drink, so let's stop the banquet today."
"Qingxue, Lord Ye first arrived at Ye Clan Grotto-Heaven, please accompany Lord Ye around."
Coming out of the Guanzhi Palace, Ye Qingxue said to Jiang Ping'an, "Where do Lord Ye want to go?"
"I'm tired today and want to go back and rest. Hongbin Courtyard Ye knows how to get back, so I won't bother Qingxue Fairy." Jiang Ping'an said, "Qingxue Fairy please do it yourself."
He was too lazy to serve a woman who was too cold-tempered, especially if he married such a woman, it would be hard to tell when she would be committed to him.
Ye Qingxue said, "Lord Ye seems a little afraid of clear snow?"
"Haha." Jiang Ping'an smiled disapprovingly, then bowed his hand to Ye Qingxue: "Farewell."
After saying that, he flew into the air, released Top-Grade Treasure Ship, and then drove Top-Grade Treasure Ship back to Hongbin Courtyard.
Inside Top-Grade Treasure Ship, Lan Yu whispered, "Lang Jun, there was something in that woman's gaze just now. She looked at the slave family and seemed to have seen through the slave family."
"Maybe." Jiang Ping'an said, "But it has nothing to do with us."
Ye Qingtian had an agreement with him at the beginning. He could choose the Ye Clan woman he wanted to marry, and it was not completely designated by the Ye Family Ancient Clan.
Ye Qingxue returned to the Guanzhi Palace, Ye Huitian frowned and said, "Why did you send the person away?"
"It's because he doesn't want to get along with Qingxue." Ye Qingxue said, "However, Ye Chenzhou has many secrets, and Qingxue is somewhat interested in him."
Ye Huitian immediately gave a stern warning. "If the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if the people are careful, there will be no disciples! You just see Taiqing Lineage so clearly that you are too transparent, so even though your talent is unparalleled, you will never be able to become a saint. Ye Chenzhou is the person Ye Family Ancient Clan wants to win over, and you are not allowed to pry into his secrets!"
