My Pretty Campus Queen

Chapter 984 - 982: A Damn Unfair Condition

"That’s right. Who on earth is it? Bring the two ladies out, and ask them yourself." The Grand Elder nodded and said.

Cheng Qianjin took a deep breath. Originally, these were Chen Tianlong’s friends, and he shouldn’t request them to do anything, but at this moment, it was also to protect them. Cheng Qianjin, facing the attack from the Ice Spirit Sword Manor, really had no way out.

Five minutes later, in the main hall of the Five Elements Sect.

Shen Yan and Lu Xiaoyu were called to the main hall. The Sect Leader ordered his subordinates to make them a cup of hot tea, then everyone retreated. He said softly, "Ladies, the people from the Ice Spirit Sword Manor are now at the gates of the city. You must know by now, but I’ve heard that one of you is an heir of the Ice and Snow Element. Can you tell me who it is?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan stood up immediately. Chen Tianlong had mentioned that the fact Lu Xiaoyu was the inheritor shouldn’t be told to anyone because she had no cultivation technique yet, and her body’s Powerful Qi could not be used. It would be dangerous.

"Sect Leader, forgive us, but we cannot comply!" Shen Yan said firmly.

"Hiss..."

Cheng Qianjin took a deep breath. This situation indeed posed some difficulty. However, the situation was urgent, and he had no choice.

At this moment, Lu Xiaoyu, however, stood up slowly and after some thought, said, "Sect Leader, can you tell us why you want to know the secret of the inheritor?"

Cheng Qianjin was taken aback, realizing there might be a turning point, so he truthfully said, "Miss Xiaoyu, it’s like this. Our Five Elements Sect has an ancient Heart Method called Frozen Cold Domain, which no one has been able to learn thus far. It’s because only the heirs of the Ice and Snow Element can practice this Cultivation Technique after receiving the inheritance."

"I see."

Lu Xiaoyu thought for a moment and said, "According to Chen Tianlong, I am the inheritor of the Ice Element. He told me I was the heir of the Ice Soul God, and my Ice Attribute physique is very pure. I wonder if your Frozen Cold Domain Heart Method suits me?"

"Are you really the heir of the Ice Soul God?" Cheng Qianjin was obviously incredulous, his eyes widened as if he had discovered a new continent.

To know that the inheritance of the Ice Soul God is a rare spectacle in Ice Extreme Town, an occurrence that hasn’t happened in hundreds of years, this physique is extremely rare, happening possibly once in tens of millions of people over a century.

Now there’s such a legendary figure standing before him; how could he not be excited?

"Yes, if Chen Tianlong wasn’t lying to me." Lu Xiaoyu nodded and said.

"Good, very good. Then, Miss Xiaoyu, come with me!"

Saying this, Cheng Qianjin stood up, ready to take Lu Xiaoyu with him.

At this moment, Shen Yan stepped in front of him. She didn’t know what Cheng Qianjin wanted to do with Lu Xiaoyu, although he had just said that letting Xiaoyu learn the Ancient Heart Method wasn’t wrong.

However, since it’s an ancient Heart Method, there must be something peculiar about it. It can’t be that you can just learn it. Shen Yan always felt Cheng Qianjin had ulterior motives.

"Sister Shen Yan, what are you doing? Xiaoyu is going to learn the Heart Method and then repel those people, and I really want to become strong myself. That way, I can find Chen Tianlong. I’m really worried about them," Lu Xiaoyu expressed her thoughts.

"To be honest with you, I’m afraid my daughter Yiyi and the steward Cheng Biao are trapped in the Qilin Tribe. Logically speaking, since it’s now the afternoon of the second day, if they found them, they would have returned immediately. There’s a large flying eagle, and the journey is just half an hour, but now it’s taking so long. Something must have happened."

Cheng Qianjin said this with two intentions: one, to make Lu Xiaoyu anxious and thus devoted to cultivation, and two, to speak the truth, as they were facing the threat of two large cities.

"What? Sect Leader, you say Chen Tianlong is in trouble?"

Lu Xiaoyu was most concerned about Chen Tianlong. She could pretend not to care about other things, but she could never let go of Chen Tianlong.

"Yes, he might be in trouble."

Cheng Qianjin could not be absolutely certain but was eighty percent sure.

"Okay, then quickly take me to learn the Heart Method," Lu Xiaoyu said eagerly.

"Hmm."

Cheng Qianjin nodded, then led Lu Xiaoyu to a secret place. Unintentionally, Shen Yan noticed a hint of a wicked smile at the corner of Cheng Qianjin’s mouth, which sent a shiver down her spine.

"Wait, I’m going too!" Shen Yan suddenly said.

"That is our Forbidden Land, where only our sect’s Sect Leader and the heirs of the Ice and Snow Element can enter, so I apologize!" Cheng Qianjin turned around and said somewhat apologetically.

"Shen Yan, you don’t need to worry. Xiaoyu will be fine. You just wait for me outside." Lu Xiaoyu smiled slightly, revealing a row of white teeth, making her seem so warm and friendly.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Yan nodded. She had no choice but to wait.

Lu Xiaoyu followed Cheng Qianjin into a secret realm that no one knew about. Within this boundary, a cold cave concealed a small box.

Cheng Qianjin clawed into the shape of a fist, pulled the box into his hand, and opened it.

This box did not contain any Heart Method but the key to activating an Array, and this key was not an ordinary key but a Whisper Key.

Who knows what incantation Cheng Qianjin chanted, but Lu Xiaoyu immediately lost consciousness and fell to the ground, while the Ice Soul God within her body entered the Array.

After a scene that seemed like time travel, Lu Xiaoyu stood in a phantom space.

There, she faced eight surfaces, and amid the vast starry sky, all around dark as night. Suddenly, the eight dark surfaces lit up one after another, displaying text upon them.

"Miss Xiaoyu, before cultivating this Frozen Cold Rain, I have a condition. If you do not agree, you will be trapped in this Array forever."

At this point, Cheng Qianjin finally revealed his true character, and Shen Yan’s earlier suspicion was confirmed.

"As I suspected, I knew this wouldn’t be simple, but for Tianlong, I’m willing to accept any condition you set." Lu Xiaoyu said lightly, displaying a composure beyond words.

For Chen Tianlong, she had never hesitated, no matter what, much less for a condition like this.

"Miss Xiaoyu, you are indeed straightforward. Well, my condition is that once the matter is resolved, you must remain here in our Five Elements Sect, guarding us indefinitely until your demise!"

Cheng Qianjin’s demand was indeed harsh, using one’s entire life merely to learn this Heart Method.

The cost was indeed great. If not for saving someone, who would bother to learn this practice? No matter how powerful it was, you’d have to spend a lifetime confined to the Five Elements Sect’s Snow Domain.

"What? Forever remain in the Five Elements Sect? Then I can never be with Tianlong again? No way." Lu Xiaoyu refused.

"Heh, heh, you have no way back. Ever since you chose to come with me, you should have known the consequences. I know that once you learn the Cultivation Technique, you could kill me, but what I want from you is a promise. I believe Miss Xiaoyu is someone who keeps her word and would never go back on her promise, right?"

Cheng Qianjin, this old hand, knew how to manipulate people. He was well aware Lu Xiaoyu was someone who valued promises, which is precisely why he spoke these words ahead of time.
