75: Chapter 75 A Dual Mastery of Ice and Fire

As Ye Yun spoke, he gently tugged at Master Bai Yuxue's sleeve, his expression obedient and pitiful, looking so aggrieved that it was impossible to refuse him.

Master Bai Yuxue's heart fluttered at his act of acting spoiled, and the corners of her mouth almost curled up, the smile nearly overflowing.

She hurriedly forced herself to keep a straight face, clenching her teeth to suppress the smile in her eyes.

Pretending to be aloof, she pondered for a moment before finally relenting and responding indifferently.

"Fine, I cannot win against you. Then it shall be once every two days."

"If you dare to be absent or find excuses not to come, just see how I will deal with you, do you hear me?"

Ye Yun was instantly overjoyed, a brilliantly radiant smile blooming on his face. He was so excited he almost jumped up, hurriedly bowing and offering thanks repeatedly.

"Thank you, Revered Master! Thank you for your flexibility, Revered Master! This Disciple will certainly remember, I will come once every two days, never be absent, never slack off, and absolutely be obedient!"

Deep down, he was overjoyed: [Great! Once every two days is completely acceptable! Finally, I don't have to be drained every day, hehe! Revered Master is soft-hearted after all!]

The warm fragrance in the bamboo house still lingered at the tip of their noses, the agreement between Master Bai Yuxue and Ye Yun just settled.

Outside the door came a light and restrained sound of footsteps, the footsteps crisp.

Stepping on the bluestone slabs outside the bamboo house, they carried a cold rhythm; one did not need to guess to know it was Han Qingxue.

Ye Yun immediately reined in the joy in his eyes, straightened his back, and stood to the side with his hands hanging down.

He resumed his respectful Disciple appearance, not daring to overstep in the slightest.

Master Bai Yuxue picked up the clear tea on the table and took a light sip, the tenderness and smile in her eyes instantly vanishing.

She put back on the cold cloak of an Inner Sect Elder of the Luoxue Sect, her expression calm, showing no signs of anything unusual.

"Creak," the door of the bamboo house was gently pushed open.

Han Qingxue walked in slowly wearing a plain white dress, the hem of her skirt unstained by dust, like a winter plum blossoming in the mountains, cold and transcendent.

Her hair was simply tied up with a jade hairpin, revealing a smooth forehead and a slender neck; her brows and eyes were cold, her pupils like cold pools.

A sense of aloofness that kept people at a distance radiated from her entire being.

She formed an extremely sharp contrast with the fiery, enchanting Master Bai Yuxue inside the house.

She had originally encountered difficulties with the circulation of her Meridians while Cultivating and had come specifically to ask Revered Master Master Bai Yuxue about her Mind-Cultivation Technique.

But as soon as she stepped into the bamboo house, she saw Ye Yun standing by Revered Master's side, and her footsteps halted instantly.

A trace of imperceptible astonishment flashed in her cold eyes, and her heart tightened inexplicably.

[Why is he in Revered Master's private bamboo house? And he has stayed for so long?]

[Yesterday, Revered Master kept him alone, and he did not return all night; now, he is actually still by Revered Master's side...]

Han Qingxue suppressed the strange feelings surging in her heart and bowed to Master Bai Yuxue, her voice cold and clear like jade stones striking each other.

"Disciple Qingxue greets Revered Master. Today, I encountered an obstruction in my Mind-Cultivation Technique and have come specifically to ask for Revered Master's guidance."

Master Bai Yuxue set down her teacup, raised her eyes to look at Han Qingxue, her tone calm but carrying a hint of deliberate solemnity.

"Qingxue, we shall discuss matters of Cultivation later; I happen to have an important matter to tell you."

She reached out and pointed to Ye Yun beside her, her Phoenix eyes sweeping over the two of them as she spoke slowly.

"This is Ye Yun. From today on, he is the Personal Disciple I, Master Bai Yuxue, have personally accepted; he is your Junior Brother. You two are both Disciples under my tutelage. In the future, within the Sect, you must support each other, look after one another, get along well, and not have the slightest discord."

Once these words were spoken, Han Qingxue's body suddenly stiffened, and she looked up sharply at Ye Yun.

Her cold eyes were full of shock, and a monstrous wave rose in her heart: [Personal Disciple? Revered Master actually really accepted him as a Personal Disciple?!]

[Could it really be because of his Physique? But even so, there is no need to go this far...]

Han Qingxue was full of doubts, but she dared not disobey Revered Master's words.

She could only suppress the shock and bitterness in her heart and nodded slightly.

Ye Yun looked up at Han Qingxue, his gaze landing on her cold and stunningly beautiful face, and he could not help but sigh inwardly.

The Han Qingxue before him was plain, elegant, and pure as ice and jade, like a thousand-year-old snow lotus on the peak of a snowy mountain, cold, proud, and pure.

While Revered Master Master Bai Yuxue was fiery red and enchanting, with naturally seductive bones, like a peony blooming in raging flames, hot and dazzling.

One ice and one fire, one cold and one hot, one pure and one vibrant; both were rare beauties in this world.

Each had her own style and charm, making it impossible for one to look away.

Ye Yun cupped his hands towards Han Qingxue, a bright, youthful smile appearing on his face, his tone relaxed and cheerful.

Without the slightest restraint, he carried a hint of closeness.

"Senior Sister Qingxue, from now on, I am your Junior Brother! This Junior Brother is new here and doesn't understand anything. In the future, within the Sect, if there are things I don't understand or if I cause trouble, I will have to trouble you, Senior Sister, to look after me and guide me. This Junior Brother thanks you in advance, Senior Sister!"

His tone was light, and his brows and eyes were curved.

Carrying a bit of a youth's liveliness, it broke the cold silence of the room.

Watching his sunny and bright appearance, a layer of faint red imperceptibly flushed across Han Qingxue's cheeks.

Her earlobes also quietly turned pink, and the panic in her heart intensified.

Yet she still maintained her cold reserve, nodding gently, her voice faint and soft.

"Junior Brother is too polite. Since we are both under Revered Master's tutelage, looking after each other is expected; you need not be so formal."

Her words were few, but each was sincere, without the slightest arrogance.

It was just that the coldness in her bones made her unable to be as outwardly enthusiastic as Ye Yun.

Master Bai Yuxue watched the two interact, a trace of deep meaning flashing in her eyes, then she waved her hand, her tone indifferent.

"Qingxue, Ye Yun has just entered the Sect and is unfamiliar with the many rules and places of the Outer Sect. You take him down the mountain first, return to the Outer Sect to get him settled, and if there is anything he needs, you help him arrange it."

"Yes, Revered Master."

Han Qingxue bowed and replied, without the slightest hesitation.

Ye Yun also hurriedly bowed and saluted Master Bai Yuxue, his tone respectful.

"Disciple Ye Yun takes his leave, Revered Master. Revered Master, please Cultivate with peace of mind; this Disciple will surely come to keep our appointment in two days."

He specifically mentioned the "two-day appointment," and Master Bai Yuxue's Phoenix eyes slightly raised, a trace of satisfaction flashing in her eyes as she nodded slightly.

Ye Yun and Han Qingxue turned around side by side and walked slowly out of the bamboo house, onto the path shaded by green bamboo.

The two figures, one in front and one behind, gradually walked away.

Master Bai Yuxue stood at the entrance of the bamboo house, watching their backs disappear into the depths of the bamboo forest.

Her fiery red skirt hem fluttered gently in the wind, a touch of tenderness gradually appearing on her cold face, as she pondered inwardly.

[Ye Yun, even if you return to the Outer Sect, even if you want to stand on your own feet through your own efforts, you will ultimately not be able to escape my palm. With Qingxue there to look after you, your every move will be entirely within my control.]

[Your Pure Yang Body is my only hope for repairing my injuries and breaking through my Bottleneck; you can only be my person, no one can take you away, and you yourself, don't even think about breaking free.]

[Qingxue has a cold temperament and a pure mind; having her watch over Ye Yun could not be more appropriate, and it also saves me quite a lot of trouble.]

Master Bai Yuxue withdrew her gaze, turned around to return to the bamboo house, and her fingertips gently stroked her Dantian area.
