Extreme Cold Mountain Manor

"Master Uncle, my newly acquired concubine is having a difficult childbirth, I must return now."

"Brother, I just remembered I haven't cultivated yet today, so I won't disturb you any longer."

The Deacon Bai and the Great Sage Golden Wing made up a random excuse and left the courtyard.

They weren't fools; they could tell that Elder Bing was in a bad mood, and staying here could easily lead to them being caught in the crossfire.

After the two disappeared, Chu Feng smiled and said, "Madam, what kind of wine would you like to drink tonight? I'll go to the wine cellar to get it."

"There's no need for that. I'm not angry about what happened at the Extreme Cold Mountain Manor."

Bing Yan's tone remained as cold as ever.

Chu Feng naturally understood that when a woman says she's not angry, she actually is.

He said slowly, "But I want to hear your story; without wine, the story won't last long."

Bing Yan pondered for a moment before saying, "Then let's choose a jar of holy wine."

Chu Feng: "Okay."

Time flies.

As night fell, Chu Feng and Bing Yan sat quietly at the stone table, drinking.

The disciples had already received the news and did not come to disturb the two this evening.

After drinking half a jar of wine, Chu Feng put his arm around Bing Yan, ate some peanuts, and asked, "Yan'er, can you tell me about your grudges with the Extreme Cold Mountain Manor?"

Bing Yan took a sip of her drink and, slightly tipsy, began, "This story begins when I was a child..."

At midnight, Chu Feng finally finished listening to Bing Yan's story.

It's a very ordinary story. Bing Yan was born in the Extreme Cold Mountain Manor. Because her father favored his concubine over his wife, her childhood was not happy. In addition, her mother did not give birth to a son for the Bing Clan.

Therefore, the mother and daughter did not have an easy time at the Extreme Cold Mountain Manor. Her mother spent her days in tears, regretting that she had not given birth to a boy.

At first, Bing Yan thought that as long as she became more outstanding, her mother would be happy and her father would pay more attention to her and her mother.

However, as her talent gradually became apparent, she did not win the applause of the crowd. Instead, she attracted the jealousy of her peers in the clan, who often tried to trip her up.

The mother did not feel proud of herself for becoming stronger, and instead became increasingly obsessed.

As for her father, he repeatedly berated her in front of the servants, asking if she was deliberately trying to steal her brother's thunder by performing so well, and even giving the resources allocated to her by the Lineage to her brother.

As a child, Bing Yan couldn't understand the reason behind this. Gradually, she closed herself off and became estranged from people. All she did every day was cultivate and cultivate some more. Only when she was cultivating was she happy.

Lacking resources, she secretly hunted monsters to obtain them.

Fortunately, heaven rewards those who persevere. Bing Yan's talent was discovered by a King and Marquis from the Bing Clan who served as an elder at the Dao-Seeking Academy, and he brought her to the Dao-Seeking Academy to cultivate.

After arriving at the Dao-Seeking Academy, Bing Yan, with the support of that King and Marquis, not only became a member of the Heavenly Spirit Institute, but also became a renowned prodigy within the Dao-Seeking Academy.

Just as Bing Yan was achieving great success, devastating news came from the Extreme Cold Mountain Manor: her mother had passed away.

By then, Bing Yan was no longer the naive girl she once was. She naturally knew the reason for her mother's death, and her first reaction was to raise her sword and fight her way back to the Extreme Cold Mountain Manor.

But in the end, they were stopped by that King and Marquis, and the two argued for three days and three nights in the Dao-Seeking Academy.

Bing Yan chose to compromise and promised to help the Extreme Cold Mountain Manor three times, using three ice feathers as tokens.

As time passed, Bing Yan gradually forgot about the Extreme Cold Mountain Manor, but seeing that ice feather today brought back those memories.

"I see."

After hearing Bing Yan's story, Chu Feng instinctively hugged the beauty in his arms tighter and comforted her, "No matter what happens in the future, I will always be by your side."

"Um."

Bing Yan responded and nestled in Chu Feng's arms.

The two spent the night nestled together like that.

At dawn the following day.

Bing Yan jumped out of Chu Feng's arms like a startled fawn, her pretty face flushed with embarrassment, and said, "My lord, I'm so sorry you had to see this last night."

Chu Feng's lips curled into a gentle smile, "My wife, we are one, how could I laugh at you? Besides, I think you looked beautiful last night too."

I'll go boil some water for you to wash up.

After Bing Yan finished speaking, she disappeared from Chu Feng's sight.

Chu Feng watched her departing figure, his smile growing even brighter.

Ten days later, Chu Feng, along with Bing Yan and a group of disciples who wanted to leave the mountain, flew towards the direction of Dao-Seeking City.

Extreme Cold Mountain Manor is a direct descendant of the Dao-Seeking Academy. Every few hundred years, Extreme Cold Mountain Manor will produce a King and Marquis or marquis to serve as an elder in the Dao-Seeking Academy, and even Half-Saint from the Bing Clan will enter the Holy Institute to cultivate.

At the same time, the Extreme Cold Mountain Manor is also the first affiliated force of the Dao-Seeking Academy in the northwest of the Profound Continent.

Therefore, there is a teleportation array in the Dao-Seeking City that leads directly to the Extreme Cold Mountain Manor.

After Chu Feng and the others entered the teleportation array, the scene before them underwent a dramatic transformation in no time.

Before arriving, Dao-Seeking City was in the bloom of spring, but Extreme Cold Mountain Manor was a snow-covered landscape of the North.

Before Chu Feng could even admire the scenery, he heard a respectful voice.

We pay our respects to the Great Sage Qiankun and Elder Bing.

No need for formalities.

Chu Feng said calmly.

He had originally planned to play dumb to teach these guys a lesson on behalf of his Daoist partner, but they immediately put on a subservient act, making it difficult for him to retaliate. It seems that one shouldn't be too famous.

"Great Sage Qiankun."

The people from the Extreme Cold Mountain Manor spoke with utmost respect.

They hadn't expected the Great Sage Qiankun and Earth to come in person, after all, Bing Yan and Extreme Cold Mountain Manor had long lost contact over the years.

Not to mention the younger generation, even among the older generation, very few people know that the renowned Great Sage Qiankun's Daoist partner is from the Bing Clan.

Fortunately, they had kept the news under wraps and hadn't revealed to the outside world who the Bing Clan would send to make a move this time.

If the Great Sage Qiankun were willing to help their Extreme Cold Mountain Manor, wouldn't they be able to win first place in this Sexagenary Grand Competition?

However, considering Elder Bing's relationship with the Extreme Cold Mountain Manor, everyone immediately suppressed this thought.

The master of the Extreme Cold Mountain Manor said respectfully, "Great Sage Qiankun, this way please."

"Snort!"

Bing Yan snorted coldly, her gaze towards the manor lord filled with endless icy intent.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and the manor lord quickly spoke up, "Yan'er, I know you're upset, but my Extreme Cold Mountain Manor is facing a crisis that will last for a thousand years. I hope you can put aside your prejudices."

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng instantly recognized the person's identity. He smiled and said, "Doesn't the Extreme Cold Mountain Manor have any other decision-makers? We didn't come here to cause trouble for ourselves."

Although his tone was calm, it was like a bolt from the blue to the ears of everyone at the Extreme Cold Mountain Manor. After exchanging glances, an old man quickly stepped forward.

"What you say is absolutely right, Great Sage. How about I lead the way for you?"

Chu Feng didn't respond to him, but instead turned his gaze to Bing Yan and asked with a smile, "Yan'er, you make the decision."
