Gentle spoke up.

Her eyes roamed, and she sniffed the air, detecting no other presence around.

Si Ye said:

"Miss, it seems the Third Young Master is engaged in closed-door training in his room... I originally came to bring him food, but as soon as I touched the door, an intense cold hit me, and before I could exert pressure, a wave of inner strength threw me back."

Biancheng stepped forward to check Si Ye’s pulse, discovering a trace of frost qi lingering inside him.

This frost qi was exceptionally tricky and refused to dissipate.

They looked at each other, while Chu Fan frowned deeply:

"Has he... always been like this?"

"Like what? Unfathomable?"

Biancheng chuckled:

"More than just unfathomable... Forget it, let me tell you about my experiences with him since we met."

Although they couldn’t touch the door, the courtyard, besides being a bit cold, posed no danger.

So they simply entered the courtyard, ready to protect him if Chu Qing was indeed in closed-door training.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Biancheng recounted the story of his acquaintance with Chu Qing.

He didn’t reveal that he had discerned Chu Qing’s identity, nor the hidden identity of Night Emperor.

He merely narrated the events he had experienced with Chu Qing from a third-person perspective.

At the First Grade Conference of Divine Blade Hall, he earned the title of Mad Saber by defeating Dong Xingzhi with a single slash.

On the way to Luochun Manor, he encountered Cheng Tieshan from Iron Blood Hall, forcing Cheng Tieshan to retreat with a single punch.

Before Luochun Manor, he defeated Ling Beichen with one strike!

At the martial arts competition with marriage proposal, his Divine Palm intimidated all.

Especially last night, the battle with Prince Mu was something Biancheng and others had never witnessed before in their lives.

Compared to that, the incident at the foot of Celestial Star Mountain, where he killed a few disciples of Longyang Mountain, paled in significance.

As for the fact that Immortal Yulong was killed by Chu Qing, Biancheng and the others weren’t aware yet.

Initially, Chu Fan listened calmly, but as the story unfolded, he became restless...

He even felt that he must have misunderstood.

His younger brother left home at a young age, and despite any fortuitous encounters, it was unlikely he could achieve such heights.

How could the person described by his Second Senior Brother possibly be his younger brother?

This was simply a peerless prodigy!

It’s not that Chu Fan underestimated his own younger brother; it’s just that... back then, Chu Qing hadn’t shown any remarkable talent.

How could there be such a drastic change?

"If you want to know, wait until he finishes and ask him yourself."

Biancheng poured himself a cup of tea but suddenly noticed that a layer of frost had unknowingly formed on the teapot.

The influence of Chu Qing’s inner breath was expanding more and more.

The four brothers sat in the courtyard waiting, until the sun began to set, the entire courtyard seemed to have just experienced a snowfall and a frost.

As the cold aura gradually receded and dissipated, it was already dusk.

They perked up, realizing that Chu Qing was likely nearing the end of his training.

They looked towards the door, and soon, they heard a creak.

The door opened, and Chu Qing walked out.

But looking at Chu Qing standing there, all the words they wanted to say got stuck in their throats.

They saw him in a cyan robe, hands behind his back, exuding a chilling cold aura all over.

Isolated like snow, unapproachable, seemingly a reclusive Exiled Immortal descending into the mortal world.

His otherworldly demeanor, brought down from the celestial palace, yet to be withdrawn.

Out of place with this world, with this mortal realm...

But in the next moment, they saw him rub his face, and the cold aura vanished like the warmth of spring.

Though his temperament remained cold, his eyes now held a hint of humanity.

He first glanced at Si Ye standing not far away and beckoned him over.

Si Ye hurried forward, and Chu Qing took his wrist, circulating his inner breath, and that stubborn trace of frost qi was suddenly gone.

This was just Si Ye’s misfortune, happening to catch Chu Qing when his inner power was rapidly ascending.

He had merged the inner power of the Mingyu Scripture and the Undying Golden Body, elevating the Mingyu Scripture to its tenth level of Great Perfection by borrowing the inner power of the Undying Golden Body.

His inner breath reached perfection, with an even more formidable and persistent cold aura.

And through this transformation, the Undying Golden Body rid itself of many drawbacks, not only possessing a protective function; by utilizing the frost qi of the Mingyu Scripture and the Frost Qi of the Celestial Frost Fist, his Protective Gang Qi became riddled with frost, the cold aura ascending through the meridians, causing internal injury.

Of course, the benefits went far beyond this, though further uses would have to be discovered in future battles.

After sending Si Ye away, Chu Qing turned to Chu Fan.

"Third Brother...?"

Chu Fan tentatively spoke.

Chu Qing showed a hint of a smile:

"Second Brother, come in and let’s talk."

Hearing Chu Qing call him Second Brother, Chu Fan felt his anxious heart finally calm down completely.

For a moment, he didn’t know whether to be excited or angry, but seeing Chu Qing stepping aside to let him in quickly, Chu Fan entered the room.

Biancheng, Gentle, and Mo Duxing all squeezed in unceremoniously as well.

The group gathered together, Chu Qing sat there looking at each of them... speechless for a moment.

In the end, it was Mo Duxing who spoke first:

"So, you are truly Chu Qing?"

"How is it possible? How can a person change so drastically?"

Biancheng sneered:

"You didn’t learn Master’s Martial Arts, but you’ve adopted quite a scholarly attitude."

After hearing it, Gentle immediately picked up a pen and started writing.
