Chapter 1677 - 992: Ice Venerable, Immortal Being?

He stood in front of Snow Lord and the others, also standing outside this spatial barrier, reaching out his hand, a sharp ice needle on his fingertip, gently piercing and slicing.

The shield shattered!

The ice crystal resonated, the Master of the Ice Heart Studio smiled indifferently, while the Ice Master remained expressionless.

One elegant, one ruthless.

Their aura confronted, was Sui Yi, who was closest to them, the focus?

Two Qi Mechanisms locked on.

Sui Yi folded her hands, her right index finger turning the Beak of the Golden Crow on her left hand.

Yi relaxed upon seeing her gesture.

——This meant there was no need to worry.

Previously, she heard Sui Yi say she gained much at the Ice Gleam High Wall, it seemed like the newly mastered witchcraft combined with the full power of the Cloud Ascendant Realm, this person was confident to escape safely from the hands of these two——even if both were Fifth Level Cloud Ascendant, even if they joined forces.

However, Sui Yi was slow to act, it wasn’t an attachment to this bothersome Teacher identity, but wanting to gain something from the upcoming interaction...

Or, she was certain that no one would act against her today!

So...

Yi Ye turned her pinky ring with her finger.

One circle.

Seo Xinyan suddenly found it strange, because the most significant party, Sui Yi, completely disregarded the confrontation of the two powerhouses, instead casually turned her head to look at....

She was looking at bamboo.

On the green bamboo tip, a tiny Ice-transforming Butterfly lay on a leaf, unbeknownst to anyone.

The butterfly was small, its eyes even smaller, but the two hundred or so people present all followed Sui Yi’s somewhat untimely gaze and saw that Ice-transforming Butterfly on the bamboo leaf.

Thus, they all felt it’s not them looking at it, but it was watching them.

Moreover, seeing through! Seeing lightly! Seeing death!

What kind of butterfly is this!

Everyone’s heart tightened.

In an instant, both the Ice Master and the Master of the Ice Heart Studio had a change of expression, bending forward in salute.

"Ice Venerable."

Ice Venerable!!!

Everyone was astonished.

And Yi raised her brows.

So it was because they detected the Ice Venerable had already arrived.

Under the shock and fear of everyone’s gaze.

That Ice-transforming Butterfly with the most mesmerizing and mysteriously Agile appearance transformed into a wisp of snow-white Ice Qi, condensing into a human form, five parts real, one part illusory, it was as if in a second the bamboo forest and ground were all coated with a layer of ice crystal resembling scales.

Two feet floated on the ice scales, Ice Venerable didn’t even glance at the two Ice Masters, let alone the others.

She hovered in mid-air, from a height overlooking...

Others couldn’t see her clearly, yet she seemed to have already scanned every inch around Sui Yi.

Bending down, as if observing a child.

Face to face, ice-white patterns formed at the corners of her eyes.

Very beautiful, very dreamy.

"You seemed to have sensed my presence early."

"Truly a surprise."

Her words, carried no breath, only a crisp mint scent, tinged with cold.

How many felt fear.

Because Ice Venerable killing someone was but a moment’s thought, such murderous intent was unprecedented.

So, who knows if she might suddenly kill Sui Yi.

Sui Yi lifted her eyes, meeting the Ice Venerable’s gaze, those eyes, beauty without any worldly smoke.

"The butterfly is beautiful....seeing it, naturally means taking a few more glances."

"Is Ice Venerable the same?"

The unspoken implication——I’m just casually looking, who knew you were so lovely, that I couldn’t look away.

Truthfully, when Yi heard this, her expression was like this: O(—_—)O~

The High Priest or Sui Yi, despite differences in strength and personality at various times, shared one thing.

——She lies with her eyes open, when she wants to deceive someone, many are willing to be fooled with their eyes open.

Of course, even so, it doesn’t change everyone’s intuition——Was she flirting with the Ice Venerable?

Everyone was struck dumb.

The Ice Master furrowed his brows, watching Sui Yi...seemingly ready to kill her with emotionless Ice Qi.

The Master of the Ice Heart Studio and Seo Qingfeng were also dumbfounded.

This person....is she mad?

What drove them even more insane....

They couldn’t hear any more sound.

Clearly, Ice Venerable had isolated the sound.

Ice Venerable’s expression showed no emotion: "Are you implying you’re also quite beautiful, so I’ve been watching you?"

This....I truly didn’t mean that.

"I’m ugly," Sui Yi said quite frankly.

Ice Venerable glanced over her face, responding coldly; "Quite ugly indeed."

Sui Yi’s brow arched slightly, she looked faintly at Ice Venerable’s frosty face contours.

——In regards to beauty and aura, she’s top-tier in the Main World, indeed eligible for such arrogance.

Though, Sui Yi quickly realized she underestimated the extent of the arrogance of one of the rulers in the Ice Gleam District, Ice Venerable.

Because the other party blatantly glanced over her body.

"But underneath the exterior, who knows beauty or ugliness?"

"Your figure is quite good."

The gaze was cool.

——Are you implying that you’ve seen through my disguise? Even seen through my body?

Sui Yi sensed a subtle movement deep in her soul from the High Priest, as if saying—nine thousand years, and are even the women today so arrogant and coldly alluring?

However, as she carefully examined the other person’s eyes, she noticed no aggression; the other seemed only to be stating a viewpoint.

Courtesy demands reciprocity...

Sui Yi said, "Yours is quite okay too."

Quite okay.

How understated.

That gaze was also indifferent.

Face, chest, waist, leg!

It’s just quite okay.

The Ice Venerable’s gaze was profound, while Sui Yi’s gaze was calm.

After a while, the Ice Venerable blandly said, "Indeed, to have caught the attention of the old Thousand Buddha, you have some bravery, but not knowing origins doesn’t equate to lacking strength?"

"I only know that luck is actually most important."

"As if my presence here is bad luck?" The markings at the corners of the Ice Venerable’s eyes deepened.

"Curious, yet contemptuous, yet probing... The Ice Venerable does not intend to treat me well."

Sui Yi knew the Ice Venerable had a purpose in seeking her, yet she also knew the other’s demeanor was strong, with an air of nonchalance.

"You are nothing to me, why should I treat you well," one sentence from the Ice Venerable, and Sui Yi knew the focus of their conversation had shifted again.

Alright, let’s just say this is the kind of person he is.

Cold and merciless, yet frivolous.

Just like she saw beneath the academy square, atop the ice sled, this person’s indifferent glance back.

There was also somewhat of a cruel meaning.

"Near the Ice Venerable are people of unclear intentions, and this person has a purpose with me... The Ice Venerable did not want to simply observe, personally appearing and deliberately setting such a barrier, all to force this person into a corner, revealing their true colors, didn’t you?"

Pausing, Sui Yi narrowed her eyes, "Perhaps the person will sense my presence, the Ice Venerable deserves credit."

So far, the strongest she’s encountered closely has been the Ice Venerable.

Neither the Ice Master nor the Snow Lord could see through her.

Of course, another possibility couldn’t be excluded—The Thousand Buddha might have an internal connection with the Ice Gleam, confirming her identity through the Flying Thief and Tu Su, then informing this Traitor.

Hence today’s strange "interrogation."

Only, everyone probably didn’t expect the Ice Venerable to lower himself and personally watch from the side.

Sui Yi felt that what she could sense, this Ice Venerable must have understood as well.

"Weaklings are but chaff, let alone pawns; the Mind Arts used by those in power over others, consume countless living souls to establish a thousand-year legacy, this point, you know very well."

The Ice Venerable slowly stood upright, "You do not resent my methods... they are even considered normal, given your unusual will and the old man from the Thousand Buddha’s constant interest in ancient relics, if you are not a Reincarnator after the Main World’s destruction, you must be... an Immortal Being; the former and latter both need to relearn Divine Skills, but the latter... is of more research interest."

Reincarnator, Immortal Being?

For the first time, she heard someone from later generations accurately summarizing the two kinds of people from the Main World, Sui Yi felt a stir within, though outwardly, it did not show: "So, the Ice Venerable’s true target is me?"

The Ice Venerable crossed her hands, twirling an Ice Feather Mystic Ring on the left hand with the right hand’s index finger.

The markings seemed to bloom in her eyes.

"People of unclear intentions need no probing, they should simply be killed."

"As for you...."

"Immortal Being....."

Sui Yi saw this person gaze deeply at her, words incomplete, yet already dismantling the sound barrier.

The Ice Venerable floated as ice and snow.

Snowstorm filled the sky.

Including those like the Ice Master, all heard one phrase.

"Retreat"

A single word was all.

No further explanation; the Ice Master waved his sleeve, merging into the ice and snow, Seo Qingfeng and the Snow Lord glanced at Sui Yi, then turned to lead their people away.

Arriving enigmatic, departing decisively.

Many took note of the Master of the Ice Heart Studio staring foolishly in the direction where the Ice Venerable had left...

So, this person is opposing the Ice Master because of feelings for the Ice Venerable?

It must be said, the Ice Master is indeed the only one close to the Ice Venerable.

And a man.

After a while, he turned back and smiled at Sui Yi.

"Do you have leisure to have tea with me?"

Sui Yi nodded.

Yaohua no longer dared to view Sui Yi as merely a writer, speaking more respectfully.

Shortly after, Sui Yi was seated before the two.

The Master of the Ice Heart Studio did not mention prior matters, getting straight to the point, "It’s to thank you, Teacher, for making our Study Room a lot of money, and secondly, for helping us make a connection with a Noble Person within the Purple Sky District."

In short, what he meant was——thank you for bringing lots of benefits to our Study Room.

The mercantile directness made Sui Yi look at him differently.

At odds with his overall demeanor.

Certainly, not annoying at least.

"The key point is this Noble Person, isn’t it?" Sui Yi drank the tea.

"Yes... this Noble Person really likes your book.... and wishes to request a handwritten copy of ’Nation’ from you."

Sui Yi was taken aback, while some do like her books, but to go this far and even directly push the obviously high-status Master of the Ice Heart Studio to come over, this is not just any ordinary person.

Indeed, a Noble Person.

To be sure, a handwritten copy could expose her, though fortunately she used an ancient script style different from that on Earth, so there’s no fear of comparison.

"I recall the original handwritten copy was at the Ice Heart Studio..."

Sui Yi had just finished saying when she noticed the expressions of the two across from her were somewhat awkward.

Hmm....?
