He gave Chu Yuechan’s parting words some thought… “Laughing stock of the world’, ‘questioned about their morals ethics’’… these words had been deeply etched into his mind.
Xia Qingyue was his wife.
Chu Yuechan was Xia Qingyue’s Senior Master, and at the same time, was also partially her teacher.
Matters that had violated moral ethics would definitely draw the attention of the world… Especially if it concerned a respected sect in Blue Wind Empire, like Frozen Cloud Asgard.
Even if Chu Yuechan truly had feelings for him as an individual, at the same time she was Frozen Cloud Asgard’s Fairy of Frozen Beauty. She could not knowingly ruin Frozen Cloud Asgard’s thousand year reputation without regard for the consequences.
Regardless of how she felt, rejection, was the only choice she could make.
——————————————
The Ranking Tournament at both the main and the secondary arena had finished. The rankings of over five hundred sects had been decided.
1st Place: Blue Wind Imperial Family
2nd Place: Frozen Cloud Asgard
3rd Place: Heavenly Sword Villa
4th Place: Xiao Sect
5th Place: Burning Heaven Clan
After these rankings were announced, it had caused large waves amongst those in Blue Wind Empire’s profound circle. Yun Che and Xia Qingyue were both only seventeen years old, but their names had already spread throughout every corner of the Blue Wind Empire and traveled towards the six other nations very quickly.
The other nations had always paid close attention to the Blue Wind Empire’s Ranking Tournament. The results of the Ranking Tournament had greatly shocked the other nations as well, making them unable to not remember the names Yun Che and Xia Qingyue.
Yun Che’s origin, his circumstances, the incidents he had been involved in within the Blue Wind Profound Palace, his performance at the Ranking Tournament… were all fabricated into various books which circulated around the market. His battle with Xia Qingyue had especially been exaggerated and hyped to be earthshaking and described as if it had been a battle between deities… The others, even included the exceeding sentimental love story of him and the Blue Moon Princess that could move even the heaven and earth…
If Yun Che was walking around any of the streets at any of the cities in Blue Wind Empire that talked about his exploits, he would have had a convulsion on the spot.
Yun Che had greatly underestimated the influence of the Ranking Tournament. While he was staying at the quiet Heavenly Sword Villa, he was clueless of the fact that his name and his deeds were being exaggerated and spread around as legends.
After the Ranking Tournament had ended, the various big sects had started to leave. Only the top ten sects of the Ranking Tournament had remained for the sake of entering the Heaven Basin Secret Realm. None of them were willing to pass this chance up.
As the days passed, the day when the entrance to the Heaven Basin Secret Realm would open quickly approached.
After Yun Che had awakened, the recovery of his wounds had considerably sped up. He did not go anywhere during the next two days and had quietly nursed his wounds. Based on his injuries on the Sword Discourse Arena the other day, nobody would believe that he had already woke up. Furthermore, his wounds were already mostly healed.
The night before the opening of the Heaven Basin Secret Realm.
Ling Yuefeng stood under an ancient tree in his courtyard, gazing at the crescent moon in the night sky. His clothes had gotten moist from the misty night atmosphere. It had shown that he had been standing here for a long time.
“Sigh.” Ling Yuefeng suddenly let out a very long sigh.
“Yuefeng, what has happened, has already happened. There’s no point in dwelling on it. Even though we had lost, it doesn’t mean that our Heavenly Sword Villa’s disciples are weak. Both Yun Che and Xia Qingyue being this strong was unexpected. Our loss was not without justifiable reason.”
Xuanyuan Yufeng walked over and consoled him.
