"Are we going back to Anyuan City?"
Kong Ruobing immediately followed him. "Perfect. I haven't officially stepped down from my position as Ice Chamber Chief yet. Bring Zhao Xingqiu along and pass the position on to her. She has a Water Element Spiritual Root, so she can't improve much by staying in our Ice Spirit Sect. She'd be better off returning to Anyuan City, where she can live more freely."
"Not a bad idea."
As Zhang Lingshan spoke, he took out the Flying Ship magic treasure Ji Buyi had given him.
They then headed to Kong Ruobing's mountain peak and picked up Zhao Xingqiu. Just as when they had come, Zhao Xingqiu was still the one piloting the Flying Ship. She had done it before, so she was already familiar with it.
"Lord Ice Immortal, Saint... Lord Saint Son..."
Zhao Xingqiu looked at the two of them with a complicated expression, not knowing how to address them for a moment.
Ever since the Saint Son's coronation ceremony ended, Lord Ice Immortal had never returned, leaving Zhao Xingqiu alone to guard the lonely peak. It had been unbearably lonely.
Had Lord Ice Immortal forgotten about her?
She had finally waited for Lord Ice Immortal to return, only for Zhang Lingshan to come along as well. The two had even arrived on a Flying Ship. Where were they going?
"Manager Qiu, I hope you've been well."
Zhang Lingshan smiled faintly. "Pack up. We're heading to Anyuan City. Ruobing wants to pass the position of Anyuan City's Ice Chamber Chief to you. Isn't that a pleasant surprise? Aren't you happy?"
"Huh?"
Zhao Xingqiu froze completely.
This wasn't a surprise. It was a scare.
"Lord Ice Immortal, are you... are you abandoning me? I wish to follow Lord Ice Immortal unto death!"
