C713 Bing Yue's Disaster

The Golden Scale Boat sailed through the clouds, leaving the Profound Heaven Sect behind.

In the cabin, Bing Yue was at the helm, appearing calm and composed. But if you looked closely, you'd notice her serene expression was just a facade. Her large, expressive eyes kept darting around, and she often fought the urge to glance back, though she managed to restrain herself.

In the back, Woo Zhengyang sat there, mesmerized by Bing Yue's graceful figure, still in a state of disbelief. Their first encounter had been intensely captivating. As they got to know each other, Bing Yue never missed a chance to show her feelings for Woo Zhengyang. Yet, he never took it seriously.

Whenever he thought of Bing Yue, the first thing that came to mind was the "peach blossom calamity" Lee Yuanye had mentioned. Coupled with their somewhat complicated relationship, Woo Zhengyang always kept his distance. Especially after Nie Fengyu revealed the bold reason behind Bing Yue's straightforward advances, Woo Zhengyang had no further thoughts on the matter.

But what Woo Zhengyang never expected was that, completely unprepared, Bing Yue would kiss him—a true lover's kiss, lips meeting lips! The unexpected kiss left Woo Zhengyang stunned. Bing Yue had always been daring and audacious, but she had never crossed such a line. Now that everything was out in the open, she seemed to be playing by her own rules.

"Could it really be as she said, to make their relationship closer?" Woo Zhengyang wondered.

This time, Woo Zhengyang and Bing Yue were headed to the Ice Heart Sect. As mentioned three days ago at the advancement ceremony of the Profound Heaven Sect, Woo Zhengyang's purpose for visiting the Ice Heart Sect was to take on the role of guest elder.

Additionally, Woo Zhengyang and Bing Yue needed to pretend to be in a romantic relationship for a while, which was part of their effort to grow closer.

The reason for their pretend relationship dated back over a year. At that time, Woo Zhengyang had just become an official disciple of the Profound Heaven Sect, and Bing Yue had not yet reached the Martial King Stage or become the leader of the Ice Heart Sect.

In the martial arts journey, while training is essential, experiences and opportunities outside are equally important. Bing Yue, having taken a rare flower given by Nie Fengyu since childhood, progressed in her training at an extraordinary pace, almost without obstacles. However, when she reached the peak of the Reality Condensing Stage, she encountered a minor issue. Crossing that threshold would not only elevate her status to Martial King but also bring changes in longevity and much more.

To overcome this hurdle, Bing Yue left the Ice Heart Sect and even the Golden Scale Domain, traveling to a place called the Limitless Domain. There, she went through many experiences and gained various opportunities, inevitably meeting many people.

The issue arose from there.

Among the people Bing Yue knew, there was a man named Huo Dongsheng from the Yin Yang Sect in the Limitless Domain. The moment Huo Dongsheng laid eyes on Bing Yue, he was utterly captivated and used every trick in the book to win her heart.

At first, Bing Yue didn't have any negative feelings toward Huo Dongsheng; in fact, she admired his bold and straightforward attitude. This admiration stemmed from her distaste for Nie Fengyu's timid approach to love, which she had always remembered. Even though she didn't feel an overwhelming attraction to Huo Dongsheng, she appreciated his confident demeanor.

However, it wasn't long before Bing Yue learned about Huo Dongsheng's background, and she was immediately taken aback. The Yin Yang Sect was the third-ranked sect under the Limitless Sect in the Limitless Domain, a formidable force not to be underestimated. Within the Yin Yang Sect, there were two divisions: the Yin Sect, consisting entirely of women, and the Yang Sect, made up of men. Their cultivation methods were based on the balance of yin and yang. Individually, these methods were nothing special, but together, they achieved a harmonious dual cultivation.

In the martial world, dual cultivation of yin and yang wasn't unusual. Although Bing Yue, inexperienced in such matters, couldn't fully grasp it, she could accept it. However, she couldn't come to terms with the rules and practices of the Yin Yang Sect. The first rule of the sect was that disciples from the Yin Sect and the Yang Sect could not become partners.

This was quite puzzling. If it was a practice meant for the harmony of male and female energies, why did the sect prohibit its disciples from forming lifelong partnerships?

Once she understood, Bing Yue was utterly shocked.

The rules stated that disciples from the Yin and Yang sects couldn't become lifelong partners, but they weren't barred from practicing the dual cultivation. In other words, disciples from both sects could engage in this practice without forming a permanent bond, and the partner wasn't fixed. Sometimes it depended on a mutual connection, sometimes on a whim, and sometimes purely on luck. The two sects often held blindfolded gatherings where only the eyes were covered, leaving everything else exposed, and the partner was left to chance.

Such a wild practice left Bing Yue horrified.

Even more shocking was that these gatherings weren't limited to just the disciples; even their partners could participate...

Already inexperienced in such matters, Bing Yue was terrified. Upon learning this, she immediately distanced herself from Huo Dongsheng.

But Huo Dongsheng wasn't one to give up easily. He began to persistently pursue her, even resorting to some underhanded tactics to try and force Bing Yue into a corner.

Fortunately, after learning about the sect, Bing Yue was on guard. Huo Dongsheng's plans didn't succeed. Instead, through a twist of fate, Bing Yue advanced to the Martial King Stage.

Bing Yue embarked on her journey to reach the Martial King Stage, and now that she had achieved her goal, she was eager to shake off Huo Dongsheng's persistent pursuit. Naturally, it was time for her to return home.

Bing Yue was relieved that during her time in the Limitless Domain, she hadn't revealed her true origins from the Golden Scale Domain. Instead, she claimed to be from a small family within the Limitless Domain. This allowed her to leave quietly, ensuring that Huo Dongsheng would never be able to track her down there.

Indeed, this was the case. Bing Yue returned to the Golden Scale Domain, solidified her skills, and took on the role of leader of the Ice Heart Sect, restoring normalcy to her life.

However, just a few months ago, as she was on the verge of forgetting those unpleasant memories, an unexpected challenge letter arrived in her hands. It was an ordinary challenge letter, but the signature at the end was from someone Bing Yue least wanted to encounter.

Limitless Domain, Yin Yang Sect, Yang Sect Leader Huo Dongsheng!

Huo Dongsheng's intentions were clear. If he were just an ordinary practitioner, even at the Martial King level, it wouldn't be a problem. But he was the leader of the Yang Sect of the Yin Yang Sect, and he had arrived formally with a challenge letter. Despite Bing Yue's reluctance to see him, she had no choice but to invite him into the Ice Heart Sect.

And so, Bing Yue's troubles began...
