The General's Genius Daughter

Chapter 317 The Ice Palace

Hua Qiyue suddenly hugged Old Madame, though she was cold to Hua Qiyue when she was being bullied.

Old Madame was not a bad person. After Hua Qiyue’s rebirth, Old Madame had been impressed by her. She had thought highly of her granddaughter even before she had the divine herb.

“Qiyue, you stupid girl, don’t worry, just slow down!” Feeling Hua Qiyue’s emotional fluctuations, Old Madame whispered to comfort her. Her blear eyes glittered with tears.

Hua Liting furrowed his brow. He really couldn’t understand why there was a sudden change. In his eyes, Hua Qiyue and Yun Shimo were the most powerful ones amongst the younger generation in the Tianyuan Continent.

After their coming back, no one dared to offend them. But how come it came to that?

“Grandmother... I have to leave for a while. Please forgive me for not showing filial piety!” whimpered Hua Qiyue.

Hua Liting was shocked. “Qiyue, what do you mean? What happened? Why did someone take you back?”

Hua Qiyue did not respond. She just hugged Old Madame in silence, shedding tears, then she let her go and spoke slowly, “Grandma, I am going to come back. Dad, I am sorry, but I have my reasons. You all, please take care of yourself! Caiqing and Caining, you two please take good care of Old Madame and my dad!”

Caining and Caiqing came out to respond to her exhortation.

Although they wanted to leave with Hua Qiyue, too.

They dared not to disobey Hua Qiyue’s orders. What if she got upset and sent them back to the palace?

Hua Qiyue took a long glance at Old Madame. She was tearful, looking back at Hua Qiyue quietly. A feeling of kinship swelled up slowly in Hua Qiyue’s head.

But she turned her head around heartlessly. No more nostalgia, she finally left with Tianpi.

Old Madame and other people watched in Hua Qiyue’s direction with dull looks, sighing. “I don’t know what happened... But I feel that this time, Qiyue is really hurt. Servants, prepare a carriage. I am going to Prince Nan’s Mansion to see for myself what happened.” Old Madame made a order coldly.

She was not going to let it go so easily.

Hua Liting gave his silent consent. He did want to know what had happened. Did that devil take Hua Qiyue away or...

The night was dark, and the birds were appealing. People were experiencing loneliness and sorrowfulness.

————————

Tianpi took Hua Qiyue and Tianci away from the capital and went to the north side of Changjing Kingdom where there lied continuous mountains, and the snow was so heavy and freezing that people’s breath was like white smoke.

It was called Nine Souls Mountain.

Tianpi lived in that place ten thousand years ago. No one had been in the palace on that mountain.

Tianpi had cast a special array, which made it impossible for people to see the Ice Palace at the mountain top.

Ice Palace only belonged to Tianpi. He was finally released from the green jade gourd, and then he came to his old home. It made his face serious.

In the Ice Palace, the floor was tiled with white jade, and walls were tiled with crystal. It was a palace that people would love at first sight.

“Wow, Grandmaster, your palace was not worse than that of Xuan’s at all!” Tianci was carefree. He jumped up and down in the palace.

Hua Qiyue sat quietly in a crystal chair. Though there was a cold breeze brushing her face, she didn’t feel cold at all but warm.

Even that crystal chair reeked of anima energy of the heaven and the earth. And the anima energy of the heaven and the earth was dozens of times stronger than it was outside. It was not only a great palace to live in solitude but also one to practice in.

“Of course, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, do you like it, Tianci?” Tianpi smiled and petted Tianci’s head.

Tianci nodded. His big eyes were full of confusion. “But why Mom didn’t let Dad come along? Weren’t they going to get married?”

“Tianci, your dad is awful, so your mom ditched him.” Tianpi wore a smile with some sort of satisfaction.

Tianci shook his head and said firmly, “No, Dad is really nice to Mom and me. He is like my real dad!”

Tianpi sneered inside. He was your real dad. But he still put on a smile and said, “Tianci, why are you still laughing? There is something you don’t know and you don’t need to ask.” “You wait here. I will go and check if there is anything to eat,” said Tianpi while taking a long glance at Hua Qiyue.

...

Hua Qiyue was sitting in the porch of the palace in a thin rob, watching the continuous snow mountains. Her facial expression was in a blur. The howling north wind blew her hair everywhere.

Tianci called his mom twice, but Hua Qiyue did not respond.

Tianpi was in a daze. He involuntarily took off his red robe and gently put it on Hua Qiyue.

Hua Qiyue’s mind came back. She looked back and broke into a wry smile. “Thank you.”

“Girl, it’s very cold here. Let’s go inside, shall we?”

Tianpi’s heart ached. That girl was mournful for another man, wasn’t she? Though Tianpi did not have any waves outside, inside, he cared too much.

Tianpi got shocked. When did he begin to have an impulse to own Hua Qiyue?

Hua Qiyue stood up quietly and walked into the inner room. Her tiny face was frozen red. Tianci ran over to sit next to her, using his frozen little hands to rub her face.

Hua Qiyue was a little bit dumbfounded. She took his hands and said, “That’s enough. Mom doesn’t feel cold. It is so warm here. I will warm up in a while. Tianci, you... Did you regret to stay with me?”

Tianci’s red face wore a bright smile. “No, Mom, you are the closest person I have!”

Hua Qiyue’s eyes became moist for his words. His real father was Yun Shimo, and his real mother was her, but in her previous life. Hua Qiyue loved him so much.

Hua Qiyue tightly hugged Tianci in her arms. Tianci felt the emotional fluctuations of Hua Qiyue, so he reached out to pat her back thoughtfully.

Hua Qiyue instantly burst into tears!

Tianpi left Hua Qiyue and Tianci and walked deep inside of the palace.

He reached a long corridor, with one side engraved with some fascinating plants and the other some strange-shaped evil beasts.

“Tao’er...” Tianpi looked at the murals. A woman’s bright smile appeared in his head.

Tianpi reached out and touched the warm wall. A coquettish smile appeared on his face.

The place he was touching was a painting of a female. She had sharp edges. She was an extraordinarily beautiful woman. His finger moved down along her edges.

Suddenly, as if there were a cold breeze, some awful images occurred to Tianpi. He could not help but roar in a low volume, and his face was stunned pale.

His heart was still fluttering with fear. After a while of trance, he retrieved his hand. His eyes showed pain. Tianpi stepped back a few steps, sensing the fitful oppressive pain in his heart.

“Ha, ha, ha, are you still thinking about her now?” A mad laugh traveled in. Suddenly, a man with silver hair appeared in front of Tianpi.

Tianpi was so shocked. He looked at that man dumbly.

“Why... why are you still alive?”

The man snorted and smiled arrogantly and wickedly. “You are still alive, so I won’t die. I am her loyal guard, and you are the one who murdered her. As long as you are alive, I will stay alive to end your life!”

With that, the man suddenly teleported to Tianpi. A strong oppressive aura was suffocating Tianpi. However, he still raised his hand and confronted the man with a powerful palm.

The Ice Palace quaked for a little while. And then Tianpi and that guy both receded ten steps.

That guy gazed at Tianpi in surprise. “I haven’t expected you to be able to regain your old power after you had been trapped by three Qi Artists.”

“Of course, I have given up evil and returned to good!” Tianpi answered coldly. The redness in his eyes receded slowly.

The man smiled insolently. “Hahaha... She is dead. Will your giving up evil bring her back? Tianpi, I, Hua Zun, will destroy you!”

With that, the man flashed over to strike at Tianpi.

Tianpi didn’t give in in a fight with him. The Ice Palace was really very firm in structure. It didn’t break down even with two Qi Artists at the great completeness of Great Deity fighting.

Hua Qiyue and Tianci heard the sound and came. Seeing Tianpi in a red robe fighting with a guy wearing white clothes, she burst into exclaiming, “Master!”

Tianpi’s hand shook. Hua Zun also raised his head to look at Hua Qiyue and Tianci, shocked to see that Tianpi had brought some outsiders here.

Hua Zun quickly stepped back ten steps. Tianpi seized his strikes, too. Hua Zun was struck dumb at first sight of Hua Qiyue’s face.

His widened eyes were glaring at Hua Qiyue without blinking.

“Tao’er... You... You are still alive?”

Hua Zun murmured, his eyes showing frenetic sensations. “Tao’er, Tao’er! You came back finally. Do you know I have been waiting here for you for 10,000 years!”

Hua Zun rushed over with ecstasy. Tianpi teleported to Hua Qiyue. “Hua Zun, open your eyes, she is not Tao’er! She is just someone that looks like her!”

Hua Zun stood there blankly, not knowing whether to go forward or backward. He stared at Hua Qiyue who was rather indifferent. The face of Hua Qiyue’s was overlapping with the face in his memory.

Hua Zun’s glazed eyes suddenly went fanatical. “Hahaha, I am best at identifying souls... Tao’er! It’s Tao’er’s soul!”

He cried with joy, getting closer to Hua Qiyue step by step. She furrowed her brows, thinking that the conversation between those two was really strange.

Tianpi’s facial expression changed instantly. He sneered, “Hua Zun, did you forget that I murdered her?”

Hua Zun was still laughing out loud. “Tianpi, if she is really dead, why are you still alive? Haha, and why did you bring the outsiders here? This is definitely Tao’er’s soul! Only I can remember her smell forever!”

Hua Qiyue felt totally lost in the conversation. But the silver-haired guy, Hua Zun, said things that made her feel bizarre. She involuntarily walked back one step, taking Tianci with her.

Seeing Hua Qiyue’s reaction, Hua Zun was stroke stupid. His expression was wistful. “Tao’er, I am Hua Zun... How can you forget me? I am your most loyal guard, and I have been waiting here for you for 10,000 years. Tao’er, don’t treat me like that, please!”

With that, Hua Zun’s tears shed on his face. And then he bent down on his knees suddenly.
