Jean: Hooh?

Xia Qingyue: It was heavily damaged during your childhood and your family did not notice it. Because of that, it was never repaired and now that you have already grown up, the damaged Profound Vein has fully formed into its disabled state… and lost all hopes of repairment.

Jean: And that's where you are wrong, girl.

Xia Qingyue glanced at him and said.

Xia Qingyue: Looks like you always had the notion of repairing your Profound Vein?

Jean: Nothing is impossible in this world, somewhere, in this world… In this Universe, there is a solution to that problem, just because you don't know it it doesn't mean that there isn't.

Xia Qingyue: ...You are right. The Profound Sky Continent is a big place with numerous amounts of talented people and hidden treasures, perhaps there really may be something that can help with your problem. I should not have said what I had said earlier with such assertion, you can just take it as my ignorance.

Jean put an hand inside his clothes and used "Visionary" to create a bottle of water, before he took it out and drank from it.

Jean: Haaah… Don't worry about it, you are just a 16 years old girl, you don't need to behave like that. And about powers… Where did that icy cold power come from? I don't remember there was a master that could use that technique around here.

Xia Qingyue stood silent for a while, making Jean think that it was a secret of hers, so he glanced away.

Jean: I'll keep quie-

Xia Qingyue: Frozen Cloud Arts.

Jean: ...Frozen Cloud A… Wait what?!

He let drop the bottle of water from his hands when he understood what she implied with those words, he was surprised, before that surprise turned into awkwardness.

Jean: Shit… That was sure a surprise…

In the Blue Wind Empire, there were many different sects and clans, but if one would ask which sect is the most known, there would be 4 different answers.

Heavenly Sword Villa, Frozen Cloud Asgard, Xiao Sect and Burning Heaven Clan.

Those four were the Major Sects of the Blue Wind Empire, in the Empire, there wasn't a sect that was stronger than those 4, the Frozen Cloud Asgard was a Sect that was specialized in water profound energy, precisely the ice element.

They were at north of the nation, at the center of the snow region, the sect was famous for 3 things:

Power

Lack of Emotions from the disciples

And women…

Yes, that place was made of exclusively beautiful women… Nice place, isn't it?

Jean: I'm not going into the details… But… Why did you marry me? From what you thought of me, I would not get angry about you refusing the marriage, instead, I understand it.

Xia Qingyue: You know precisely why… My life was saved by Uncle Xiao Ying. I am the reason why he died during an assassination attempt soon after. Since I was born, my father arranged a marriage between us in order to repay Uncle Xiao Ying's kindness.

Although it was my father's promise, I have no reason to disobey him and thus I have no reason to not marry you.

The reason why I told you that I belonged to Frozen Cloud Asgard was to let you know that in order for me to continue to practice the Frozen Cloud arts, my heart must be like a frozen cloud. Frozen Cloud Asgard only accept women and they must be pure and uncontaminated for life.

Although I did marry you, I cannot love anyone in this lifetime. You must understand my commitment.

Jean: *Sigh* It's such a shame for a bombshell like you… Whatever, anyone has their decisions. However… I don't think they would let disciples like you go around the world without anyone supervising you just like that, how much time do you have?

Xia Qingyue: ...It isn't confirmed yet. You should go to the toast.

As her voice fell, the sound of slow footsteps came from outside the door. Xiao Hongcang's old gentle voice came from the door.

Xiao Hongcang: Young master, it is time for you to propose the toast.

He looked at his watch and saw that it was already the 18:50, the time sure flies...

Jean: I'm coming.

He put back the water bottle in his clothes, making it disappear, and dusted off his clothes, he glanced at Xia Qingyue before he walked out of the room.

As soon as Jean left, a bright ice aura surrounded the room and a white figure dreamily appeared in front of Xia Qingyue, who spoke with a respectful voice.

Xia Qingyue: Master.

?: Qingyue, do you wish to return to Frozen Cloud Asgard with me?

Xia Qingyue: Master, Qingyue intends to stay here a while. If I leave as soon as I got married, he will suffer even harsher of endless ridicules. I ask master to give me a month's time so I won't hurt him nor allow others to make fun of him by the time I leave.

The woman looked at her before she smiled faintly and slowly nodded.

?: Alright. It is the first time in hundreds of years that a Frozen Cloud Asgard disciple was allowed to be married. Since it had been an exception, another month's worth of wait is nothing.

Xia Qingyue: Thank you for fulfilling my wish, Master… Master, is it really impossible to repair his Profound Vein?

?: Like your husband said, nothing is impossible in this world… But at least to me, it seems to not be possible. Qingyue, it is good that you are a kind and compassionate person with a giving heart. However, I really cannot help you with this issue.

Qingyue, I know you are eager in repaying your debt of gratitude since your life was saved at a young age, to even go as far as delaying your return to Frozen Cloud Asgard, but you marrying him should already be enough to repay that obligation.

When you return to Frozen Cloud Asgard, your identity will be revealed. Although he may suffer more ridicule after your departure, his status of being the husband of a Frozen Cloud Asgard disciple would still be intact.

At least in this little Floating Cloud City, with that kind of prestigious status, no one would dare to cause him physical harm.

Xia Qingyue: I hope so.

?: His Profound Vein is disabled and he also has no other strengths. He will never be able to achieve any accomplishments perhaps in his entire life. But you are beautiful and smart. Talents of your nature are born once every hundreds of years.

Otherwise, our Mistress would not have let you break the rules like that and get married. Marrying you was his greatest fortune and luck in his entire life. You taking this step is justice enough. If his father was still alive and smart enough, he would have cancelled this wedding… I have to go. I will pick you up a month later. During this period, I will not go anywhere far.

If you encounter any unresolvable problems, write me a letter to keep me informed.

Xia Qingyue: I bid teacher farewell.

Then her Master opened the window and flew away, leaving Xia Qingyue alone
