Chapter 516  A Day in History

"Daoist Wu"

"Palace Master Qiu, I hope your stay here have been comfortable"

He turned with a smile, greeting the lady who nodded with a wry expression.

"How could it be anything but when you have provided us with everything we need?

...um... how is Bing\'er?"

She paused before asking and he nodded with a reassuring expression.

"She is managing well. She has been learning control of her Physique from one of my women who has a different, but slightly similar one, and there was also a brilliant Dao Cultivator to help her as well.

They had to go into seclusion not long ago, but this period was enough to get her started, and she would have to actually practice what she already learned for quite a while before any more studying would become useful"

The primary reason given to Xue Bing for why she was sent to the mansion with Wu Long was exactly learning to control her physique, which was why she did not suspect anything and followed him.

And while that reason was technically indeed true, Wu Long had to conceal some of Qiu Yilao\'s emotions and intentions with Soul Arts from the icy beauty as she would be able to tell that there was something more behind the decision to send her to that mansion if not for that.

"Haa~ I have too much to thank Daoist Wu for"

Qiu Yilao sighed with relief, as Xue Bing learning to get her physique under control was the only way she would truly be alright.

"Hahaha, please don\'t be so humble, Palace Master Qiu, I have been speaking the truth every time I explained the reasoning behind my actions to you.

So it truly was in my interests to do most of those.

Besides..."

He then revealed a charming smile.

"... we are true allies now, as you have decided to agree to my proposal"

"Hahaha, I didn\'t even tell you the results of asking the disciples... but it seems I don\'t have to as you already know"

She chuckled, both amused and incredulous by his confidence while he shrugged his shoulders with a lighthearted smile. \'But then again, when that was the response...

I suppose it is a bit of a given\' Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn

She then thought of the previous day when they announced their decision and that every disciple had the right to choose.

There was a loud reaction with a lot of squirming, excited whispers, giggles and blushes from the young maidens.

His feats during the Winter Forest Hunt were widely known as they were witnessed by the entire youngest generation of disciples, and the Core Disciples of the youngest generation who went to the Secret Realm with him excitedly shared their impressions of the dashing man\'s prowess and at the same time kind, generous, thoughtful and caring side.

Not to mention that they all saw him during their travel from the Frozen Garden Palace to the Yin Yang Unity Palace, and witnessed his demeanor, many having an opportunity to interact even a little while the trip was happening.

The Sect Protectors, often the most numerous group in every Sect, which was no exception for this one either were also smitten with the man who they viewed as the savior of the Sect and a true warrior deserving their respect.

Qiu Yilao shook her head with a wry smile.

Her face then became solemn as she straightened up her posture even more from her usual graceful one.

"There are only four elders who declined your proposal as they are close to retirement and do not wish to change their ways. They will be participating in the battle with the renegades, but shall they survive it and all that comes after, they will quietly settle within mortal lands leading a life of seclusion.

The 232 Elders, 396 Sect Protectors, and 287 Disciples, as well as Grand Elder Qu and I, 917 remaining members of the Frozen Garden Palace in total, are hereby pledging our allegiance to you, Daoist Wu.

By your own words, it is a pact of mutual benefit, but is also a lifelong alliance, one that would not be challenged by hard or good times.

Please take good care of us"

She declared in a slightly formal tone, and then cupped her hands in an elegant motion, with him mirroring her actions.

"I thank Palace Master Qiu and the members of the Frozen Garden Palace for the trust and welcome you. I promise to make this decision one you would not regret"

He did not take the moment lightly, as this was the day that the fate of an entire Sect was sealed and bound to his own.

Qiu Yilao sighed with relief as the tense moment passed, and the two smiled at each other while lowering their hands, her mind strangely at ease after taking this big step.

"I have examined the techniques that I memorized the last time, and am nearing completion of the revised version.

It would allow you to Dual Cultivate with me and reap the benefits of the technique you were using before, and even more at the same time. It would take at most a week more and I will hand it to you"

"Huh? A-a week? I-I thought it would take years..."

"Hahaha, no way, why would we need to waste so much time on a technique creation? Of course, I will be supplying you with better versions of the technique as I improve it and as we go along, but a version which would be suitable for a cultivator in the Nine Mortal Realms is something I already designed.

I just need to improve it a little so it is fit for at least entering the Seven Profound Realms just in case"

He chuckled, as she opened her mouth in shock, her eyes, round as plates, reflecting his smiling face.

\'This man... is still a total mystery\'

She thought as she did not actually know who they were getting into an alliance with, and exactly how beneficial it would be for them beyond this small conflict. This day, while being completely normal and inconsequential for most inhabitants of the Seven Boundless Worlds, almost all of whom were unaware of the events transpiring here, was actually a monumental one for the history of the entire Seven Boundless Worlds that was yet to be written.

And as the moment happened in an isolated world, it was one which date and exact sequence of events were forever shrouded in mystery for those who would later ponder on it.
