Murong Xiaoxiao's Predicament
Northern Cold Star Domain, Northern Cold Palace.
In a magnificent palace, Shen Yudie was speaking with Murong Xiaoxiao.
"Xiaoxiao, still no word from Shi Yue? Do you know where he is?" Shen Yudie asked gravely.
"This disciple does not know. Ever since Yanluo Hall sent people to attack him, it has been difficult to get in touch with him," Murong Xiaoxiao answered honestly.
Murong Xiaoxiao felt a little uncomfortable. It was true that Shen Yudie had taken her as a disciple partly because of Shi Yue, but Murong Xiaoxiao's Profound Ice Spirit Body was also an important reason. Yet she had realized that Shen Yudie did not care about her cultivation at all. All she ever asked about was Shi Yue's whereabouts and when the spirit herbs she wanted would arrive.
She felt like one of Shen Yudie's chess pieces, and that feeling was deeply unpleasant.
"You still can't reach him after all this time? Then contact him a few more times. Better yet, ask him to come to Northern Cold Palace." Shen Yudie's tone made it clear that she would not accept a refusal.
"Yes, this disciple understands," Murong Xiaoxiao replied.
"All right, that's all. You may leave."
Murong Xiaoxiao agreed and turned to go.
Back in her quarters, she hesitated for a long time before taking out her Transmission Mirror and sending in a Magic Art. Soon, Shi Yue's face appeared on its surface.
"Junior Brother Shi, have you been well lately?" Murong Xiaoxiao forced a smile as she spoke.
"I've been fine, Senior Sister Murong. What's wrong? You look pale. Has someone been bullying you?" Shi Yue asked with a frown.
"No. Junior Brother Shi, where are you? I've been thinking of going out to gain some experience. Could I come and see you?"
