Returning to the carriage in Heaven Dou City, Xue Qinghe placed his hands behind his head, his gaze directed at the thoughtful Ye Xi.
"Ye Xi, what are your thoughts on being a guest at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School this Time?"
Xue Qinghe asked softly, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"I don't know exactly what Ning Fengzhi is planning, but the meaning he displayed is a very obvious show of goodwill."
"Therefore, before we are certain about what Ning Fengzhi really wants, I think we should just wait and see, and respond to the ever-changing situation with constancy."
After Ye Xi finished expressing her opinion, she looked at Xue Qinghe with an inquiring gaze.
"My view is similar to yours."
"Since we can't figure out Ning Fengzhi's intentions for now, let's first develop ourselves; I will continue to handle matters in the Tiandou Royal Palace, while you focus on steadily developing the Frost Snow Pavilion."
"As for the Fourth Prince, it is Time I found a moment to deal with him."
Xue Qinghe's voice was very calm, but his gaze turned toward the Prince Xue Xing estate, a flash of imperceptible killing intent appearing in his eyes.
"I will develop the Frost Snow Pavilion well."
"I will try my best to win over any forces that can be won over."
After saying this, Ye Xi leaned her body against the carriage wall and began to close her eyes to rest.
Xue Qinghe also closed his eyes and did not speak again.
Only the sound of the carriage wheels rolling over the ground echoed in the carriage.
On the other side.
Ning Fengzhi stood quietly in front of an open space, his gaze fixed on the direction of Heaven Dou City.
"Uncle Sword, can you tell the depth of Her Highness Ling Yuan?"
Ning Fengzhi asked softly, his thoughts racing.
"Fengzhi, the spirit power Rank of that Ling Yuan should be on par with mine."
Chen Xin stood beside Ning Fengzhi, his voice calm and unruffled.
"On par with you, Uncle Sword?"
"It seems the reclusive Sect behind Ye Xi has strength that exceeds imagination."
Ning Fengzhi said softly, his tone as calm as ever.
"Let's just wait and see for now."
After the words fell, Ning Fengzhi turned around silently and walked toward the hall.
Chen Xin followed silently by Ning Fengzhi's side.
...
Returning to Heaven Dou City, after Xue Qinghe sent Ye Xi to the entrance of her residence, he went straight back to the Tiandou Royal Palace.
Upon returning to her residence, Ye Xi began preparing for the establishment of the Frost Snow Pavilion.
With the financial support of the Tiandou Royal Palace, as well as the help of craftsmen sent by the Heaven Dou Royal Family and the Nine Heart Begonia Family, the Frost Snow Pavilion, which was originally expected to take half a year to complete, was finished in just about four months.
After the Frost Snow Pavilion was established, Ye Xi immediately decided on everyone's positions.
Ye Xi served as the Pavilion Master of the Frost Snow Pavilion, and among her subordinates, there were three Hall Masters: Ye Qingxue from the Nine Heart Begonia Family, Yang Wudi from the Breaking Clan, and Niu Gao from the Defense Clan.
Dugu Bo served as the Guest Elder of the Frost Snow Pavilion, with a status equal to the three Hall Masters.
Below the Hall Masters, positions such as Manager and Deacon were established.
Although Ling Yuan had no position in the Frost Snow Pavilion, she always followed quietly by Ye Xi's side; wherever Ye Xi went, Ling Yuan was inevitably nearby.
Days passed by.
The biggest event in Heaven Dou City during this period was the sudden demise of the Fourth Prince Xue Beng.
Emperor Xue Ye was very sad about the demise of Xue Beng, but after sending Xue Qinghe to investigate symbolically for a period of Time, the matter was left unsettled.
With the support of the Heaven Dou Royal Family, the development of the Frost Snow Pavilion was very rapid, and one after another, small Sects became vassals of the Frost Snow Pavilion.
Time passed, and years flew by.
Three years passed quietly.
Frost Snow Pavilion.
In the magnificent and grand hall, the twelve-year-old Ye Xi was sitting on the main seat, quietly listening to the report from the Deacon below.
"Pavilion Master, a Spirit Saint who calls himself Time has come outside the door, saying he wants to join our Frost Snow Pavilion."
The Deacon knelt on one knee in front of Ye Xi, his voice full of respect.
"I know, bring him to see me."
Ye Xi said, changing to a comfortable posture, resting her arm on the armrest of the chair, and supporting her head with her hand, her silver hair falling down naturally.
"Yes, Pavilion Master."
After the Deacon agreed, he immediately got up and walked out of the hall.
Watching the departing Deacon, Ye Xi did not speak but waited quietly.
Because of the need to manage the Frost Snow Pavilion, Ye Xi's spirit power had not improved much in these three years, only rising from a Rank 33 Spirit Elder to a Rank 44 Spirit Ancestor.
However, Ye Xi's fourth spirit ring was not a thousand-year one, but a ten-thousand-year spirit ring absorbed by crossing Ranks, and the age of the spirit ring reached a full 14,000 years.
Her fourth Spirit Ability was called: Angel's Roar, which possessed extremely strong mental attacks.
Shortly after, the Deacon brought Time into the hall.
Ye Xi used her azure eyes to size up Time below; Time was a middle-aged man of about forty or fifty, and his eyes gave people a feeling of viciousness.
Looking at Time below, Ye Xi recalled Time's deeds in her mind.
"Time greets the Pavilion Master."
Time bowed to Ye Xi above, his voice full of respect.
"You want to join our Frost Snow Pavilion?"
While speaking, Ye Xi waved her hand gently at the Deacon below, signaling that he could withdraw.
"Yes, Pavilion Master."
"I have admired the Frost Snow Pavilion for a long Time, and as soon as I had Time today, I came to join immediately."
Time nodded slightly, his tone very humble.
"Admired the Frost Snow Pavilion for a long Time?"
Ye Xi chuckled, her azure eyes raised slightly, quietly watching Time standing below.
"Some Time ago, at the Tian Dou Auction House, a Spirit Bone was snatched away on the road; I don't think you have admired the Frost Snow Pavilion for a long Time, but rather you just finished absorbing the Spirit Bone and want to find a backer."
Ye Xi's voice was very casual, as if she were stating a trivial matter.
"Pavilion Master, I did do that."
"But I am also sincerely joining the Frost Snow Pavilion, and I hope the Pavilion Master will give me a chance."
Time knelt on one knee, his tone very sincere.
Hearing this, Ye Xi did not speak for a while, but was thinking quietly.
The hall was quiet at this moment.
After a long while, Ye Xi raised her head slightly at Time below: "You don't need to worry about the Tian Dou Auction House matter; I will handle it myself."
"You will hold the position of Manager in our Frost Snow Pavilion, but the location will not be Heaven Dou City, but Suotuo City."
"Stay in the Frost Snow Pavilion for now; in a while, I will have someone notify you to go to Suotuo City."
Ye Xi's tone was indifferent, and her expression did not change at all.
"Thank you, Pavilion Master."
Time stood up from the ground, a smile appearing on his face.
His original psychological expectation was to hold the position of Deacon in the Frost Snow Pavilion, but he did not expect Ye Xi to give him the position of Manager.
