A cold wind swirled with fine snow, rustling as it beat against the stone steps before the Cold Palace Sword Mansion.
Two small figures walked through the snow, puffs of white mist escaping their lips as they breathed.
They were Chen Sixuan, disciple of Lu Ruoxi, and Pei Xiaohan, disciple of Lin Qianyan.
A year had now passed since the Abyssal Sea Palace had appeared and then closed once more.
At first, Chen Sixuan and Pei Xiaohan had been in great anguish, not knowing if their own masters were safe.
But as time went by, they gradually emerged from the shadows of the past and began to learn how to be independent.
They had heard that Junior Martial Uncle Pei's Dao Companion, Ye Liyuan, had been gloomy and listless ever since she returned safely from the Endless Sea. Her mood was like the snow of the Cold Palace Sword Mansion—frozen for millennia, cold and withdrawn.
So they often came to visit, hoping that Fairy Ye could also step out of the shadows.
