Martialism

Chapter 5's

When Yi Ping regained consciousness, he found himself in a large, hairy bed. The bed is fragrant and comfortable. He could not believe such a comfortable bed actually existed. He felt so relaxed in bed that he did not want to get up.

“Master Palace, you're up?” A sweet voice sounded.

Yi Ping was suddenly shocked. He suddenly recalled the events that happened in the Heavenly Mountain. He called frantically, “Xian’Er, where are you?”

He looked around and saw two beautiful young girls standing in front of the bed smiling at him. He blinked his eyes. She has recognized Shui Yujian's voice but there are two ‘Yujian’ now!

Yi Ping said, “Yujian?”

The beautiful young beautiful girl who just spoke laughed softly, “No, that's my sister. I'm Shui Meijan. We're twins! You can also call me Beautiful Sword Fairy.”

Shui Meijian was happy that Yi Ping had woken up. When he looked at her, his heart was pounding. He was a little disappointed that he called his sister first. But soon he forgot his disappointment as he introduced himself.

Shui Yujian sighed in his heart. He was more quiet than his twin brother. She pursed her lips and wished she could respond faster than her brother.

Yi Ping nodded and asked, “Where is Yixian? Is he ..”

Shui Yujian cried, “Mrs Palace has died. We have placed his body in the inner sanctum.” This time, he was faster than his brother.

Yi Ping was silent for a long time while Shui Meijian and Shui Yujian stared at him calmly; they did not dare to disturb his thoughts.

Yi Ping suddenly realized that he was wearing new and clean clothes. She muttered, “My clothes..?”

Shui Yujian said, “Master Palace, Sister Mei and I have bathed you and helped you get dressed. As for your old clothes, they are too dirty and too difficult to repair. So we threw it away. Mr. Palace, do not... do not be angry with us .. “

Yi Ping became confused, “Not that.I'm a boy, you two are still young girls.I.”.

Shui Meijian giggled softly, “Master Palace must be ashamed! You are our master now and we are all yours. It is our duty to serve you and meet your daily needs.”

Yi Ping tried to change the topic by asking them, “You are Beautiful Sword Fairy Shui Meijian and Jade Sword Fairy Shui Yujian?”

Yujian and Meijian said at the same time, “That's right, Palace Master!”

Yi Ping said, “Take me to the inner sanctum. I want to see Yixian.”

Shui Yujian looked panicked, “Master Palace, the ice coffin has been sealed! We can only take you to the inner asylum room.”

Yi Ping sighed, “Is that so? Its alright. Just take me there.”

Shui Meijian and Shui Yujian bowed respectfully, “Yes, Palace Master!”

Yi Ping said awkwardly, “Dissolve with the formality of this ‘Master Istas’. Emm...I don't feel comfortable with that.”

Shui Meijian and Shui Yujian looked at each other before saying, “Yes, Mister!”

Yi Ping sighed and said, “That ‘Tuan’ word is also.”

As they walked along the passageway, Yi Ping noticed that it was colder than usual and asked curiously, “The Eternal Ice Palace seems to be a cold place. How can you two endure this unbearable cold?”

Shui Meijian laughed softly, “Tu. The Eternal Ice Palace was located beneath the Heavenly Lake. That's why no fighter can find this place.”

Yi Ping wonder, “We are under the lake?” He looked around and admired the marbles of the passageway. “It definitely takes a lot of effort and time to build ..”

He imagined the hardships of the workers and wondered if any of them were allowed to leave the Eternal Ice Palace alive.

It was because even though the Eternal Ice Palace was not an unorthodox clan, it was a mysterious place that was forbidden to outsiders and shrouded in secrecy.

Shui Meijian smiled, “I don't know. It was here when we were here. And the Eternal Ice Palace is centuries old. But we have a sister who is expert in stone here. I'll ask them later.”

Yi Ping replied, “Oh. That's not necessary. I just want to know ..”

But as they walked along the passageway, Yi Ping saw more girls wearing refineries, he could not help but comment. “These girls are all very young and beautiful; to think that they should spend all their eternity here. Very unfortunate.”

Shui Yujian had misunderstood and said timidly, “We are all your women. If Master wants one of us, please feel free to call us before you ..”

Yi Ping was startled and he quickly said, “This is not what I mean. And can you imagine the boredom of living here all your life? You all deserve to find a partner, have a family and know what is going on with the brotherhood, in general.”

Suddenly, both Shui Yujian and Shui Meijian cried.

Yi Ping was confused as he asked, “I .. I am so sorry. What happened?”

Shui Meijian sobbed, “Master, you might not know that the Eternal Ice Palace released our older proteges when they were twenty-five years old in order for them to get married. But their fate often ends in misery, with danger. If they are known to be from the Eternal Ice Palace, they will be tortured by the boxers for the martial secrets of our clan.”

Shui Yujian added, “Because Sister Mei and I are direct proteges of the late Mistress of the Heavenly Fairy Palace, we are the only exception and we are unable to leave the Eternal Ice Palace. However, our other sisters had to leave the Eternal Ice Palace, when they were twenty-five years old. This is a rule that cannot be broken. Unless Teacher Learners are willing to accept them as direct learners, they are not allowed to stay.”

Yi Ping asked, “Why not let those who want to stay stay and let those who want to go go?”

Shui Yujian replied, “It's been like this in the past. But some of the protege sisters regretted their decision to stay or leave, so it was eventually made into the clan's golden rule that all the students of the protege did not directly have to leave when they reached twenty-five. Since then, there are no exceptions.”

Yi Ping asked, “The clan rules cannot be changed?”

Shui Yujian said, “That can't be changed. The act was considered extremely disrespectful and embarrassing for the esteemed leaders of the past.”

Yi Ping nodded as he understood that the honor of the clan meant everything to the people of the martial fraternity.

But he added defiantly, “Eternal Ice Palace is off limits for men. I'm sure it's the clan's golden rule as well. That I am here, does that mean the clan rules have been violated?”

Shui Meijian laughed and interrupted mischievously, “That's not entirely true. We do have male guests from time to time. Moreover, the first founder of the Eternal Ice Palace was a man!”

Yi Ping was surprised, “The Eternal Ice Palace was founded by a man?!”

Shui Yujian giggled. “It's true! In fact, some of the leadership of our Eternal Ice Palace in the past was led by men. But since some of our former mistress female proteges are women and it is inconvenient for men to be in the Eternal Ice Palace, so it is generally inactive. - the limit for men.”

Shui Meijian added, “In addition, the Eternal Ice Palace skill is not entirely suitable for men. So generally, the leadership of the Eternal Ice Palace is often given to a woman.”

Yi Ping asked, “I don't understand. Since the founder of the Eternal Ice Palace was a man, how could he possibly find the Heavenly Icy Tears and Divine Emerald Skills among the many more suitable for women?”

Yi Ping rubbed his nose for warmth and looked at Shui Yujian and Shui Meijian directly for the first time. Only the blind fail to see how beautiful and attractive they are.

Indeed, other than Shui Yixian, she had never seen another person as beautiful and charming as them. To think that just a few days ago, he was extremely afraid of the reputation of the Eternal Ice Palace.

Shui Meijian raised her alluring voice, “Master! Are you okay?”

Yi Ping woke up from his trance and quickly replied, “I'm fine. You shouldn't keep calling me Mr. ..”

Shui Meijian giggled, “Master. I'm sorry!”

Yi Ping awkwardly replied, “Already ..”

Shui Yujian laughed softly, “Master, you just looked at us intently. Is something wrong?”

Yi Ping said quickly, “No, nothing is wrong. I'm just daydreaming. You too, unfortunately I am not your Master ..”

Shui Meijian tease, “Master, you've been sleeping for two days and you still feel sleepy?”

Yi Ping completely gave up on correcting them as he sighed in his heart. It seems that they pay too much attention to their manners and find it difficult to adjust their etiquette.

Shui Yujian gave Shui Meijian a quick pull and she quickly kept quiet. When Shui Yujian pulled her, she realized that she was acting inappropriate and forgot that Yi Ping was their protege master.

Yi Ping soon realized that Shui Yujian was more refined and cautious in his speech while Shui Meijian was quick in speaking and would say whatever he thought.

While walking to their destination, Shui Meijian began to sing softly as she began to sing in a low voice.

Yi Ping was surprised. The sound and music are so beautiful. Yi Ping asked, “Mei’Er, you also know how to sing?”

Shui Meijian was surprised and asked frantically, “There was something wrong, Mister?”

He hoped he would not offend her. She almost cried when she asked fearfully, “Did I bother you ..”

Even Shui Yujian was shocked.

Yi Ping quickly said, “Oh no. The lyrics and melody you just sang, were too beautiful. I also enjoy music.” And he started whistling beautifully as well.

Shui Meijian was happy as she clapped happily, “My sister and I also love singing!”

Shui Yujian was also very happy as Yi Ping also appreciated the music as she sang the fast melody.

Yi Ping praised him, “This song is very unique. I've never heard of it. That's too heavenly. If I could hear this every day, I would be satisfied.”

Shui Yujian was confused as he lowered his face, “We can play the zither, pipe, and erhu as well.”

Yi Ping jerked, “It wasn't easy.You two must be very talented in your musical achievements.”

Shui Meijian laughed charmingly, “Mistress our Palace didn't really push us, and thought it was a waste of time ..”

Shui Yujian pulled her hard and said, “Let's continue now. We'll reach it soon.”

Yi Ping nodded.

It wasn't long before they reached the inner sanctum room.

Shui Yujian said, “Master, we have reached it.”

The room was big and very cold. In the middle of the room was a white marble coffin.

Yi Ping immediately ran into the coffin and fell on it. She muttered, “Yixian, Yixian, why did you leave me ..”

Yi Ping was obviously inconsolable for a long time. Shui Yujian tried to comfort him but he did not hear it.

Yi Ping was too sad. She wailed to heaven for separating Shui Yixian and him as she rewired her memories of him.

Soon tears appeared in the eyes of the disciples and they watched him express his sorrow for his late First Lady.

Shui Yujian could feel his heart ache. His impressions of men were generally unimpressive until he met Yi Ping. Even though he only knew her for a moment, he already had a place in his heart.

Shui Meijian clenched her hands to her chest as she held back her tears. He is secretly in love with her.

Initially when he was told by his sister that they had obtained a new Palace Master, he was shocked. When he saw Yi Ping, he was even more surprised by his noble aura and appearance. It was love at first sight for him…

Yi Ping suddenly stood up and said in tears, “I have to leave this place now.”

It was because he suddenly realized what he was going to do next. If he could not avenge his wife's death, then his wife would never be rested.

Shui Meijian hurriedly asked, “Master, where did you go? You cannot leave the Eternal Ice Palace just like that.”

Yi Ping said, “I will avenge my wife's killer and I will find her wherever she is!”

Shui Yujian asked, “Master, you know the killer?”

Yi Ping hummed coldly, “Although I did not see his face but I will never forget his martial arts! I will find him and offer his blood to my dear wife!”

Shui Meijian said, “Master, let us accompany you!”

Yi Ping shook his head, “I don't know how long it will take. Moreover, the Eternal Ice Palace needed someone to guard and protect it from external threats. As the most senior protege, that responsibility will be yours. .”

Shui Yujian cried, “Do we not have the same responsibility to avenge our late protege as well?”

Yi Ping had already made up his mind. And moreover, Shui Yujian and Shui Meijian had never been to the outer fraternity. They had no idea how dangerous and dangerous the people from the martial fraternity were. Other than with the two beautiful girls accompanying him, it could be a hindrance.

But he had no idea how much he had hurt them. It was because they thought he disliked them and did not want them to be around him.
