The sun was setting in the town of Esaka. the red hue created a very peaceful atmosphere everywhere and amidst this peaceful atmosphere, a man was walking toward the city gate with a constantly changing expression. This man was Will. He was satisfied with his first hunt and even gained favour from a disciple of the ice heart sect but...
'I don't know when she will contact me...'
'Honestly, it would be better if Fio could become some elder's disciple...'
The reason why Will thought like that was that he knew, whichever the sect may be, infighting and jealousy are some things that are inevitable. She had no backing and if she faced any problems, no one would help her. So he thought that becoming a personal disciple of some elder of the sect might garner her some personal attention and freedom.
'I also wish she would not be selected for something everyone in her sect covets for...'
'I know her talent is unusually high and I don't want her to only cultivate. I want her to enjoy her life.'
'OK... OK... I don't want to part from her, I want her to be with me but that's just selfish of me and as a big brother I have to think about what's best for her...'
'I hope everything goes well.'
With these thoughts, he entered the city and started heading toward his house, and what he saw there shocked him.
He saw two women standing near the entrance of the house. One of them was recognizable as she was Elizabeth...
'Why is she here...Did she bring her master so early... and why would she do that... and why am I feeling..'
When Will gave her his address he thought and knew that she would send someone to bring him and his sister to them, not the opposite way around.
He reached near both of them, the other woman also wore a beautiful white and blue robe but her robe radiated the aura of elegance and royalty. she was wearing a veil but one could still tell that she was an incredible beauty... He could feel that the woman in front of him was an expert even more than he was, in his previous life. He wanted to have a good first impression so he went near, to greet them. But the moment he reached there a huge pressure befell him.
'What's this pressure... she is more powerful than I thought... this could go bad...' The pressure made his head go down but he would not allow his body to bend cause he knew that this was a test. As for why she was taking this test, he didn't know. And he would not offend this person right now.
While facing the increasing immense pressure his whole body started shaking, and his bones would start cracking but he was not feeling pain; he felt excited, he had the feeling of... ecstasy...
'This power... This time even I will be capable of reaching such heights... I can... NO... I WILL reach this height of power and above.' He had a weird smile etched on his face for a second but he maintained his emotions.
The pressure was subsidized like it was never there before. Will had a sigh of relief and Elizabeth had an expression of disbelief, even the woman in question was very impressed.
"You are very good; little boy." She said in a cold voice but if paid attention one could feel the good intention behind them and Will could notice that.
Will greeted them formally which also increased his image and then he thanked her for the good words. Before even he could request them to come inside and house and ask about Fionna... the topic was brought up by the woman.
"So you asked for a favor from my disciple huh? She told me everything."
"Yes senior. We could not make it in for the examination three months before and I believe my sister is very talented in the ice heart technique so I.."
"Quite bold words you have there." She said in a cold voice that sends chills down his spine. He could not have put it like that and requested the senior but Will knew by doing so he would lose everything in the conversation. He did not back down but before he could utter anything the woman declared in her usual cold voice.
"The only reason I came here is that you saved my disciple's life." The reason she gave was partially true. She could feel that Will was stronger than any cultivator in his cultivation base and that too at a such young age, which intrigued her, making it another reason to come.
They all entered the house and when Will opened the doors Fionna was there to greet him, seeing the other people put her into daze whereas Elizabeth shouted...
"Kyaah!! She is so cute..."
And before Fionna could ask anything Will informed her
"Fionna they are your seniors, greet them. They are from the ice heart sect, here to check if you are talented."
Fionna came to know that she was going to a sect when they were flying here. When she came to know that she was going there alone, she wanted to disagree but her brother told her many reasons why she should go which made her reluctantly agree.
"I greet the seniors. Thank you for coming all the way here."
The woman restrained the excited Elizabeth and only replied with a nod. Without wasting any time she went toward Fionna and passed her cold ice qi through her body...
For the first time, Will could see many emotions on her face, shock, disbelief, and even joy. Then she asked in a very serious tone.
"Who else knows about her and who are you??" She asked because she thought Will belonged to some famous family.
"Senior we do not belong to any family. I am a free cultivator." Will lied about the family thing. Even though he had a family, this time he would not accept his greedy 'father'.
After that, The woman took out a talisman and tore it. She took Elizabeth outside with her. This left the siblings confused and after some time she came back.... with another woman.
Both the women looked exactly the same but the woman who just arrived looked more elegant and royal... and Will also had a gut feeling that she was more powerful than the other one.
The said woman who arrived right now rushed towards Fionna and did the same and she also had the same reaction.
'She is clearly a mortal but her body accepts cold qi fully and... so naturally.' was the thought she had.
"Will and Fionna, I am Rose Iceheart the sect master of the Iceheart sect. and She is Ruby Iceheart the vice sect master of the Iceheart sect." She declared with dominance.
This shocked both Will and Fionna. Will was more shocked because of other reasons.
'They are the legendary sleet twins.' In his previous life, a pair of twins fought very hard against the invaders. They rained down on them giving them no chance of escape hence gaining the name, the sleet twins. They were one of the most powerful warriors they had. The techniques they fought with were powerful and unparallel. But they were ganged up on and eventually killed. Will had huge respect for them.
"S-sorry esteemed senior for not recognizing you both." Will said apologetically.
"You don't have to worry about that." Ruby said with a calm tone and a slight smile completely different from her other demeanor.
"Will and Fionna I want to talk about something." listening to that, Will gestured all of them to sit, and then Rose dropped a bomb that Will never expected, even in his dreams.
"Fionna you are immensely talented in the core iceheart technique. I want to take you in as my personal disciple."
