The Girl Bing Ya

"No need, you can go back."

Bing Yan's cool voice drifted out from the guest courtyard on a gust of wind.

The mountain breeze that had been blowing on them without them noticing suddenly made Bing Xiaofeng and Mu Rou feel incredibly cold inside.

"Then we'll take our leave."

Mu Rou knew that if they stayed any longer, they would only become a laughingstock.

The two quickly left amidst the strange looks from the onlookers at the disciples of the Extreme Cold Mountain Manor.

As Chen Qianqian watched their departing figures, her smile broadened even further.

Bai Qian, who was standing to the side, raised her small hand and gave Chen Qianqian a high five, shouting in unison.

"Yeah!"

This little incident quickly spread throughout the entire Extreme Cold Mountain Manor.

Upon hearing this news, the elders were initially gloating, but their laughter quickly turned sour.

For a century, no disciple from their Extreme Cold Mountain Manor has established themselves in the Dao-Seeking Academy.

Although they had passed on their true skills, they were all eventually relegated to the External Affairs Institute as stewards.

With Elder Bing Yan now in charge at the Dao-Seeking Academy, if their Extreme Cold Mountain Manor cannot produce another prodigy, Extreme Cold Mountain Manor status within the Dao-Seeking Academy will plummet once Bing Yan's influence is exhausted.

After all, they were just one of the many Half-Saint forces under the Dao-Seeking Academy.

There are countless Half-Saint forces like this under the jurisdiction of the Dao-Seeking Academy.

Upon hearing this news, Bing Aogu immediately dragged his precious son to the backyard and gave him a severe beating.

He told the two of them to figure out a solution, instead of letting them commit suicide. Trying to appeal to Bing Yan's family ties at a time like this would only invite trouble, wouldn't it?

Everything at the Extreme Cold Mountain Manor had nothing to do with Chu Feng, Bing Yan, and the others.

The next day, early morning.

Chu Feng was woken up early from his bed by Bing Yan, who said she wanted to show Chu Feng the place where she had cultivated as a child.

So, Chu Feng, still half-asleep, followed Bing Yan to the foot of a solitary peak in the Extreme Cold Mountain Manor.

Chu Feng looked around and saw nothing but snow-covered landscape; there wasn't a single person in sight, not even a ghost.

The two did not fly, but walked step by step towards the mountain peak.

As the sun gradually rose, the two got closer and closer to the summit.

Just then, the two suddenly heard the sound of sword dancing coming from the mountain.

Chu Feng smiled upon hearing this and said, "I didn't expect that even after so many years since Madam left the Extreme Cold Mountain Manor, there would still be people following in your footsteps to cultivate here."

Bing Yan paused for a moment. "I wonder whose child is secretly cultivating here."

After saying this, the two exchanged a glance and walked in the direction from which the sound came.

Before long, Chu Feng saw a thin, lightly dressed girl cultivating in the snow.

Her swordsmanship was fierce, and every move carried a hint of Sword Intent.

What's most remarkable is that she has only just entered the Dao Foundation Realm.

The girl seemed completely absorbed in her cultivation and did not notice the arrival of Chu Feng and his companion.

After observing her closely, Chu Feng was surprised to find that the girl looked somewhat familiar with Bing Yan, suggesting that she was one of Bing Yan's direct descendants.

After the girl finished her swordplay, she noticed Chu Feng and Bing Yan and quickly bowed.

"Bing Ya greets the two seniors."

No need for formalities.

Bing Yan asked calmly, "Which family are you from?"

"Replying to... replying to senior, I am..."

Bing Ya looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated, and finally lowered her head, as if she was very sensitive about her background.

Chu Feng smiled and said, "Could it be that I can't reveal your identity?"

Bing Ya said with a troubled expression, "The young master forbade me to say it, please forgive me, senior."

"Oh?"

Chu Feng immediately became interested and used his Eye of Eye of World Destruction the girl's fortune. The girl's light purple color was considered a minor prodigy in the Dao-Seeking Academy, and it was not impossible for her to become King Conferment or marquis in the future.

Could he be your father?

"Ah?"

Bing Ya stared at Chu Feng and his wife in astonishment. She never imagined that her identity would be so easily guessed by them.

Chu Feng and Bing Yan naturally got the answer from her expression.

"Then why are you practicing the Proud Snow Sword Technique here?"

Bing Yan asked coldly. She had no good feelings towards that younger brother, and naturally, she didn't give his daughter a friendly look either.

Thump!

Upon hearing this, Bing Ya immediately knelt on the ground. "Senior, Xiao Qin did not intentionally steal the Proud Snow Sword Technique of the Extreme Cold Mountain Manor. She only wanted to leave this place. I beg your forgiveness, Senior."

Although she had never met this person before, he recognized the Proud Snow Sword Technique at a glance and was dressed in extraordinary clothes, so he must be an important figure in the Lineage.

"Stealing knowledge, that's interesting."

The frost on Bing Yan's face vanished, and she asked with interest, "I remember that the Proud Snow Sword Technique can be practiced by anyone from the main lineage of the Extreme Cold Mountain Manor. Since you are Bing Xiaofeng's daughter, why can't you practice it?"

Bing Ya stammered, "I... I'm a maid's daughter, not a direct descendant of the Extreme Cold Mountain Manor. I learned this sword technique by secretly following Miss around."

"Now I finally understand why the once-glorious Extreme Cold Mountain Manor has fallen to its current state. It turns out that nowadays, when teaching cultivation techniques, they don't consider innate talent or comprehension, but only birth."

Bing Yan changed the subject. "Do you really want to leave the Extreme Cold Mountain Manor?"

"Um."

Bing Ya nodded. "My mother's dying wish was that I could leave the Extreme Cold Mountain Manor and be a free person, instead of being a slave to someone."

"Very well, then I will give you this opportunity. Are you willing to become my disciple?"

Bing Yan asked with a stern expression.

Bing Ya froze on the spot, still unable to process what was happening.

"You don't want to?"

Bing Yan asked another question.

"No... no, I... I'm willing, but... but can I really leave? After all, I can't leave without the young mistress's permission, Non-Self become a True Fate cultivator."

Bing Ya was so excited that she could barely speak.

Bing Yan's lips curled into a slight, disdainful smile, "As long as I say the word, no one will dare refuse to release them."

Upon hearing this, Bing Ya looked at Bing Yan with eyes full of admiration. In her mind, the young mistress was like a god, and anyone who disobeyed her would suffer a terrible fate.

Now, there was actually someone who could keep the young mistress in check and even wanted to take her as a disciple. This was something she had never dared to dream of before. She immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times to the other party. "Disciple Bing Ya greets Master."

Bing Yan casually helped her up. "The name Bing Ya is too ordinary. I don't have anything else to give you right now, so I'll change your name for now. From now on, you will be called Bing Qin."

"Thank you, Master. Ya Ya finally has a proper name."

Bing Qin responded excitedly.

Bing Yan said, "For now, you can continue with your original lifestyle. When I leave, I will definitely take you with me."

"Uh-huh."

Bing Qin nodded. She had lived in the Extreme Cold Mountain Manor for almost twenty years, so staying a few more days wouldn't matter.

"By the way, Master, how should I find you then?"

Bing Yan said calmly, "You'll find out when the time comes."

"Okay, I believe in Master."

After speaking, Bing Qin seemed to remember something and quickly said, "Master, I have to go back now. If I'm late and Miss finds out, I'll be punished again."

"Go."

Bing Yan did not try to stop her.

"Um."

After speaking, Bing Qin flew down the lonely peak on her sword...
