Sui Yi returned to the Levitating Ice Palace once more, spending some time and mental power carving some sacrificial texts and secret scripts. She believed in Yi's promises that Ice Venerable would fulfill them, but she never expected to see someone in the mural corridor outside the Ice Palace.
Du Zhi.
She only just realized how remarkably beautiful Du Zhi was, or rather, how darkly beautiful.
Especially those eyes.
They seemed to spread vast fields of withered and decaying roses every moment, it was poison.
Sui Yi knew this was not a chance encounter.
Du Zhi walked up to her, looking at a mural of the battle between Hawk and the Levitating Ice Palace three thousand years ago. Obviously, Sui Yi had been viewing this painting earlier as well.
"Teacher is the only one who has given him such humiliation, more so than when he fiercely fought the Ice Palace, ultimately captured while shielding me..."
Sui Yi smiled faintly, "Then he must know, I merely took advantage."
