C52 The Furious Phoenix
The angry Huang Xi.
She wasn't family or friends, and she wouldn't come to the Falling Goose Peak to care about Ye Zhifa at this time. Since Ye Zhifa didn't have any relatives in the Sword Palace, then the ones who came to visit were naturally those few friends.
At noon, Huang Xi rushed into the Cloud Immortal Palace with Chu Qianwei. She wanted to come over two days earlier but was stopped by Du Lin using the excuse that Ye Zhifa was still resting for two days. That was why she only got on the Falling Goose Peak today.
She didn't know that the decision to go to the Ice-Fire Peak was made by Ye Zhifa. She thought that it was because Du Lin didn't protect his disciple well. Therefore, when she walked to the door of the Cloud Immortal Palace, she didn't even greet him. She knocked three times on the door and barged in.
When Huang Xi stepped into the Cloud Immortal Palace, Du Lin and Ye Zhifa were sitting in the main hall leisurely drinking tea. Huang Xi's heart was already filled with anger, but when she saw the master and disciple, she was actually so relaxed. She walked up and slapped the teacup in Du Lin's hand away and asked, "Du Lin, what is going on? Why did the Sword Palace win the competition with the Sun Moon and Star Sect, but your disciple was punished with the Ice-Fire Peak?"
After she asked this question, she found that Ye Zhifa was still holding the teacup calmly. She snatched the teacup from him and drank it all in one gulp before returning the empty cup. She also asked Ye Zhifa, "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing? If I hadn't heard people talking about it in the finger peak, I wouldn't have known about it."
Huang Xi's series of actions were smooth and natural. Before the master and disciple of the Falling Goose Peak could say a word, one of them found the teacup in his hand falling to the ground while the other one only had an empty cup in his hand.
Du Lin looked at the teacup on the ground with a pained expression and said, "Junior sister, this matter sounds complicated, but it's not that I want Zhifa to go to the Ice-Fire Peak. It's this brat who questioned himself and wanted to go."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Where is the Ice-Fire Peak? Little Brother Ye, he..." Huang Xi said half a sentence and found that Ye Zhifa was nodding his head repeatedly in support of Du Lin. Her tone instantly became eight degrees higher and she asked in surprise, "Is it really him who wants to go?"
"Yes, this kid has a big idea. I can't even persuade him."
Du Lin first complained about Ye Zhifa's character, then told him everything that had happened since the start of the competition between the two sects.
Huang Xi was furious when she heard that Huangfu Xuan had plotted against Ye Zhifa. She didn't care if she was his opponent or not. She just wanted to rush back to the finger peak and fight with Huangfu Xuan. Du Lin had to spend a lot of effort to stop her.
After Du Lin finished speaking, Huang Xi first glared at Ye Zhifa, then remembered the scene of her first meeting with Ye Zhifa.
Before she saved Ye Zhifa, Ye Zhifa had already fought with those few pirates alone for a long time. After he was rescued, although he was somewhat frightened, he didn't see that helpless panic.
A young man who was only ten years old at that time actually had such courage when facing such a great disaster. Now that the Ice-Fire Peak was his place of cultivation, it was not surprising anymore.
Thinking of this, Huang Xi sighed lightly and reached out her hand to touch Ye Zhifa's head. Then, she directly asked Du Lin, "Senior Brother Du, why did Huangfu Xuan always target Little Brother Ye? Is he, the dignified Deputy Sect Leader of the Sword Palace, so narrow-minded?"
Huang Xi did not try to dissuade Ye Zhifa, which was slightly out of Du Lin's expectation. However, he still patiently explained, "Our family, Senior Brother Huangfu, was once a prominent family of mutants. It was only after they met with a disaster that they gradually declined. He had spent his whole life climbing to his current position. Naturally, he had to pick up the so-called aristocratic family's grandeur again. In the end, a tiger can't be compared to a dog, and it turns out to be a narrow-minded dog that will seek revenge for the smallest grievance."
Huang Xi understood what Du Lin said, but she could not understand what Huangfu Xuan did. Huang Xi and Chu Qianwei, who stood behind him, were both members of the royal family of Hanlin. They were truly born nobles. Naturally, she would not understand the twisted nature of Huangfu Xuan's change of identity.
On the contrary, Ye Zhifa felt some sympathy for Huangfu Xuan. If he had not come from another world, he was afraid that similar thoughts would also grow in his body.
Seeing Huang Xi remaining silent after listening, Du Lin could not help but ask, "Junior sister, aren't you going to help persuade him to go to the Ice-Fire Peak?"
Huang Xi rolled her eyes at him and said, "Senior brother Du, your disciple has more ideas than you. If you can't persuade him, how can I?"
As soon as she said this, Du Lin did not say much. The Cloud Immortal Palace immediately fell into silence until Chu Qianwei's voice sounded.
She had not spoken since she followed Huang Xi in. At this time, she had been brewing for a long time before asking Ye Zhifa, "Senior Brother Ye, you go to the Ice-Fire Peak. Are we not going to meet for three years?"
The young girl's thoughts were complicated, but Huang Xi, as an elder, did not notice. After hearing Chu Qianwei's question, she said, "Yes. Even if Qianwei did not say it, I would not have thought of this point. Little Brother Ye, you went to the Ice-Fire Peak for three years before returning. Could it be that we can't even go and see you in the middle?"
If it was a disciple on duty in the Ice-Fire Peak, they naturally wouldn't prohibit other disciples from visiting. However, when this became a punishment, it was equivalent to being imprisoned, so how could they allow others to visit as they pleased?
In the next three years, besides disciples from the Sword Palace who came to pick the spirit flowers and herbs growing on the Ice-Fire Peak at random times and collecting ores, Ye Zhifa would not allow any visitors.
After Ye Zhifa explained this rule, Huang Xi naturally criticized Huangfu Xuan's character. Chu Qianwei's eyes, however, were immediately covered with a layer of fog.
"Senior Brother Ye, the Ice-Fire Peak is very dangerous. You must take care of yourself."
Chu Qianwei did not let the tears fall in the end. Instead, she handed a Qiankun bag to Ye Zhifa.
Ye Zhifa took the Qiankun bag in a daze. When he opened it, he found that there were many medicinal pills and some miscellaneous items inside. Upon closer inspection, there were even a few items that seemed to be spiritual artifacts mixed inside.
"If Senior Brother Du really doesn't want you to go to the Ice-Fire Peak, Huangfu Xuan wouldn't have any wishful thinking no matter what. Therefore, we didn't think that we could leave you on the Falling Goose Peak. But... " Huang Xi rolled her eyes at Du Lin and said," Your master is not meticulous, so we prepared some luggage for you. It will be used on the Ice-Fire Peak."
This Qiankun bag was to ensure Ye Zhifa's smooth journey to the Ice Volcano. At the same time, it was also to thank Ye Zhifa for helping Chu Qianwei. It was very generous.
Facing Huang Xi's despotic might, Ye Zhifa could not refuse. He could only look at Du Lin with an awkward smile as he accepted the gift.
Huang Xi and Chu Qianwei lingered for a while in the Cloud Immortal Palace before bidding farewell and leaving. However, when Chu Qianwei stepped out of the palace door, she suddenly turned her head and said to Ye Zhifa: "Senior Brother Ye, if your cultivation base is not as good as mine after coming back from the Ice-Fire Peak... You have to call me senior sister."
After sending the two of them off... After Du Lin and Ye Zhifa relaxed for a while, they heard Liao Mingzhong's rough voice again.
Hearing this voice, the master and disciple could not help smiling bitterly as they looked at each other. It seemed they had to explain again.
