Seeing him look so calm, Luo Li nodded slightly, stretched out her hand, poured some tea into a small teacup in front of Yang Kai, and said, “Have a taste of this Queen’s Tranquil as Snow Tea.” As she spoke, a clear and refreshing fragrance wafted towards Yang Kai.

Yang Kai’s expression changed as he picked up the teacup and put it under his nose, sniffing it a few times as a slightly intoxicated look appeared on his face. Immediately after, he lifted the cup of tea up and drank it down in one gulp before chewing a small tea leaf that became stuck in his teeth.

Luo Li was slightly startled and smiled lightly, “Young Master Yang does not seem to have dabbled much in the art of tea ceremonies.”

“En, I haven’t studied it at all,” Yang Kai grinned meaningfully, “I have been too busy running around these years so I haven’t had the time or mind to learn about such things.”

“That is only natural. Young Hero Yang already has such a shocking cultivation at his age, so clearly he is an assiduous individual.”

“Senior is too polite; however, though Junior does not know much about the tea ceremony, he can tell that this Tranquil as Snow has the effect of calming one’s mood. Senior giving me this tea as soon as I arrived… could you be worried about something?” Yang Kai smiled without really smiling.

Luo Li sighed openly, “Why does Young Master Yang ask something he already knows the answer to?”

Yang Kai’s expression became serious as he stated, “Junior will be direct then. Ice Heart Valley’s previous attitude and practice truly angered me greatly, and for a moment I felt that it would be best to wipe it from existence!”

Luo Li’s expression remained unchanged as she continued looking at Yang Kai, waiting for him to continue.

“But reflecting on it now, that was just an impulse driven by anger and completely unnecessary. Moreover, even if I really wanted to do so, Su Yan would not have agreed.”

When Yang Kai mentioned Su Yan, Luo Li’s face flashed with sadness, “Su Yan is a good child. I have taught her several times and her understanding, aptitude, and will are all outstanding. If it were not for matters occurring in such a manner, Su Yan would definitely have grown into the pillar of my Ice Heart Valley and lead it to a glorious future.”

“Unfortunately, that will never come to pass,” Yang Kai smiled coldly.

“This time, it was my Ice Heart Valley’s fault. My, Luo Li’s, fault. Young Master Yang having the heart to forgive our transgressions even after everything that happened is more than this Luo Li can thank you for!” Luo Li stood up and bowed to Yang Kai elegantly.

Yang Kai frowned, but his expression soon softened. After thinking for a moment, he said, “Senior is too serious. Senior is an Origin King while Junior is a mere Third-Order Origin Returning Realm cultivator. Senior need not display such courtesy or respect.”

Luo Li shook her head sternly, “This Queen cannot depend on her status to remain aloof. Besides, although this Queen is somewhat short-sighted, she knows Young Hero’s future must be bright.”

Yang Kai laughed loudly, “Then I’ll take advantage of Senior’s auspicious words.”

Junior will reciprocate in kind. From now on, Su Yan and Qing Ya no longer have any relationship with Ice Heart Valley, and in return, I will not take what Ice Heart Valley has done in the past
