"I must report this matter to the Palace Master."
"It appears that this young man named Xiao Ye is the person Bing Ya has always held in her heart." As the Holy Palace Master was exchanging pleasantries with the Emperor Martial Realm powerhouse from the Iron Blood Emperor Domain, the middle-aged woman from the Ice and Snow Palace slightly narrowed her slender eyes, emitting a chilling light.
In fact, the Ice and Snow Palace had already planned for Bing Ya’s affiliation, and the most suitable candidate was the Iron Blood Emperor’s son.
After all, in terms of cultivation and background, he was the top choice. If Bing Ya could come together with him, it would greatly benefit the Ice and Snow Palace. This was also the choice that most sect forces in Central State would make.
Unfortunately, Bing Ya had always vehemently refused, pursuing Martial Arts with all her heart, which caused this matter to be put on hold. The Ice and Snow Palace did not press too hard.
But now, Bing Ya’s actions with Xiao Ye were akin to delivering a heavy blow to the Ice and Snow Palace.
Bing Ya could choose not to be with the Iron Blood Emperor’s son, but she absolutely could not get too close to a disciple like Xiao Ye, especially since her identity was not simple, being the Saintess of the Ice and Snow Palace and the future helmswoman.
Such a choice would undoubtedly smear the Ice and Snow Palace’s name, even becoming a joke throughout Central State.
"No matter what decision the Palace Master makes about this young man Xiao Ye, Bing Ya must not know about this matter."
Thinking this, the middle-aged woman from the Ice and Snow Palace withdrew her gaze and casually continued discussing with the Palace Masters of Taiyi Palace and the Emperor Martial Realm powerhouses of the Four Great Emperor Domains on how to deal with the resurgence of the Ultimate Palace.

At this moment, Xiao Ye, who was standing in the middle of the scene, suddenly trembled, and blood spurted from his mouth, his complexion turning deathly pale as he fell to one knee, his face contorted in pain.
It must be said that his cultivation was still far behind that of the Iron Blood Emperor’s son.
Although he had just resisted the onslaught of the Iron Blood Emperor’s son’s aura, even walking against it, his body had suffered greatly. Now, as his mind relaxed, the effects erupted immediately, unable to hold on any longer, his vision darkened and intense pain swept over him.
Prince Donghuang and Nangong Xingyu were slightly startled upon seeing this, then quickly rushed over.
However, faster than them was a white silhouette, who dashed like lightning to Xiao Ye’s side and supported him.
Xiao Ye had just sensed a faint fragrance when he suddenly found himself lying in a warm and soft embrace.
"Junior brother, you fool, you are just as foolish as before..." At this moment, Bing Ya’s years of longing for Xiao Ye burst forth, disregarding her identity as the Saintess of the Ice and Snow Palace in front of everyone, extending her jade hand to caress Xiao Ye’s face, her beautiful eyes misting over.
Xiao Ye’s strong and overbearing actions just now have completely moved Bing Ya, leaving her heart full of emotion.
"Hehe..." Xiao Ye slightly opened his eyes, gazing at Bing Ya’s pretty face which was close at hand, a gentle smile appearing on his face.
He couldn’t remember how long he had strived and how much hardship he had endured for this moment.
He wished this moment could be eternal.
"No, I’m not being foolish. Any man who sees the woman he loves being harassed by a pest would do the same as I did. I hate that my cultivation is insufficient now; otherwise, I would have definitely given that Iron Blood Emperor’s son a beating, to the point that even his parents wouldn’t recognize him." Xiao Ye muttered softly.
Bing Ya couldn’t help but burst into laughter at Xiao Ye’s words. The cold aura around her instantly dissolved, transforming from an ice mountain goddess to the girl next door. Her beautiful eyes curved into crescents, indescribably beautiful, stunning the young talents present.
Many were itching with jealousy towards Xiao Ye, wishing to replace him. Even the Iron Blood Emperor’s son hadn’t gotten close to the beauty that Xiao Ye now monopolized, making it difficult for them to accept.
Xiao Ye took out a King Crystal from his Space Ring, consumed it, and sat cross-legged. While refining it to heal his injuries, he reminisced the joy of reunion with Bing Ya, which also infuriated many young talents, who secretly cursed the middle-aged woman of the Ice and Snow Palace to immediately come and separate the two.
"My God, what kind of magic has Ye Zi used to gain the favor of the ice mountain goddess? He’s really incredible." Prince Donghuang, who had stopped at a distance, didn’t disturb the two but stood aside and sighed in amazement, apparently seeing Xiao Ye as a charlatan.
Standing alongside Prince Donghuang, Nangong Xingyu couldn’t help but roll his eyes, utterly disdainful of the other’s intelligence.
"Donghuang, have you not heard that the Saintess of the Ice and Snow Palace comes from the Endless Sea outside of Central State?" Nangong Xingyu said indifferently.
"Hmm?" Hearing Nangong Xingyu’s words, Prince Donghuang trembled, thought for a moment, and then suddenly exclaimed, "Ye Zi also came from the Endless Sea. Could it be that these two knew each other before?"
He turned his head to seek confirmation from Nangong Xingyu, but all that was left for him was a fleeting back view.
As Bing Ya and Xiao Ye caught up, time passed quickly. The Holy Banquet was nearing its end, and many Holy Palace Elders were already repairing the shattered Taiyi Palace.
What should have been the hottest atmosphere of the Martial Arts contest, the ten devilish disciples of the Holy Palace Main Hall, didn’t even get a chance to appear, which was quite disappointing.
Unfortunately, all the attention of the Taiyi Palace Master and the Emperor Martial Realm experts from the Four Great Emperor Domains were focused on the resurgence of the Ultimate Palace, discussing strategies for dealing with it, leaving no room for concerns about the sacred Martial Arts contest.
"Yaya, it’s time to go back. We have a lot of matters to handle when we get back." At this moment, an Emperor Martial Realm middle-aged woman from the Ice and Snow Palace flew over and spoke with suppressed anger in her voice.
If not because she needed to collaborate with the Holy Palace Master to devise a strategy against the Ultimate Palace to report back to the Palace Master, she would have long been unable to restrain herself from interrupting Bing Ya and Xiao Ye.
Bing Ya trembled at these words, her beautiful eyes filled with sadness as she stood up helplessly.
The time of reunion was always so brief; it disappointed her deeply. She hoped to always stay by Xiao Ye’s side, but it seemed impossible at the moment.
"Junior Brother, I believe in your talents; surely you will top Central State’s young generation, becoming the mightiest Heavenly Pride. Yaya will wait for you in the Ice and Snow Palace. I hope you won’t forget our promise." Bing Ya’s eyes were full of reluctance, like a fairy about toride the wind away, she softly said.
