Yun Che stood at the side of the large platform that had a huge throne placed on it, with a mini throne placed beside it.
Everyone from the Ice Phoenix Sect had gathered in front of the throne, eagerly waiting for their sect master and the Realm King of the Snow Song Realm to appear.
Today, the Great Sect Assembly was organized, and the main reason for that was the ceremony of the direct disciple of the Realm King.
Since he was quite free today, Yun Che decided to join it too.
So he placed a small chair and table beside the platform to enjoy the show.
Xuerong, like a dutiful maid, poured another cup of tea for him to enjoy. With cakes placed by the side, it tasted delicious.
"Why don't you come and eat with me?"
"Excuse me then."
"..." Yun Che stared at the azure-haired girl happily eating through the cakes in silence.
He had thought she would deny it, but after eating his cooking last time, that doesn't seem to be the case any longer.
He turned his attention towards the people gathered below. Just looking at the crowd, it was impossible to count their numbers. They easily crossed millions!
'I can never get used to this amount of people in a single sect…'
"Yun Che… what are you doing?" Bingyun appeared beside Yun Che, with a frown on her face, she inquired.
Due to his sitting on the platform, even if at the corner, it had garnered a lot of attention from all the disciples below.
It seemed that people didn't like the fact that he sat on the same platform as the Realm King herself, even though she wasn't present yet.
"Enjoying my morning tea?" Yun Che answered the obvious before another chair appeared beside him. "Why don't you also join us? We can eat and drink while observing the event."
"... You are disturbing the order right now."
"By eating cakes and drinking tea?"
"By sitting on the same platform as the Elder Sister." Bingyun replied. "Not everyone knows about you; they will feel dissatisfied with your behavior."
"Sounds like their issue." He remained quiet for a second before smiling. "And I chose such a corner too. If I wanted, I could have just created another throne, more majestic than Xuanyin's and sat there. I am trying my best to not cause a scene here."
Bingyun became silent.
Even though she hasn't spent much time with him, she was quite aware of his personality already. That's why she understood that if Yun Che really wanted, he would have definitely done what he just said.
"How about it? I'll hover in the sky with my table and chair, and enjoy my morning tea there. That way, I won't be disturbing anyone, right?"
Thinking of flying in the air, sitting on a couch with a table in front, and drinking tea, it did sound like quite an enjoyable experience.
"Haaa… Forget it." Bingyun released a long sigh and gave up. "Just, don't cause any other scene."
"I don't know about that…" Yun Che's lips curled up, and he looked up at the empty throne. "I feel like Xuanyin is going to announce something that will definitely shock everyone."
Bingyun's brows instantly deepened, and a thoughtful expression appeared on her face.
"What do you mean?"
"Who knows?" Yun Che shrugged his shoulders before taking another bite out of his cake. "I am not Xuanyin. On the other hand, are you sure you don't want to eat these cakes? I have personally made them, and you won't find anything more delicious than them anywhere else."
Bingyun's gaze turned towards the cakes placed on the table and then at Xuerong, who seemed to enjoy eating them way too much.
'Are they really that good?' She wondered before silently taking the seat beside Yun Che, who silently observed her as she stared at the cake in front of her placed by Xuerong.
"They are… actually good." A surprised expression formed on Bingyun's face after the first bite.
She was the Divine Sovereign, someone who has eaten pretty much every delicacy that the world could provide. Yet, she couldn't help but praise the cake.
"What do you mean actually? Were you expecting something disgusting?"
Bingyun didn't reply. Instead, she returned her attention back to eating the cake, making Yun Che smile wryly.
Just then, the temperature dropped in the surroundings, prompting everyone to look towards the throne.
There, as if a goddess was descending from a higher realm, Xuanyin appeared and settled on the throne. Her gaze momentarily fell on Yun Che, but she ignored him and returned her attention to the front.
Her presence instantly caused silence to form over the whole Ice Phoenix Sect; no one dared to utter a single word after her appearance.
Her crystalline gaze scanned the ground before it landed on Mu Feixue, who silently stood at the forefront.
With a nod, her cold voice rang out loud.
"Feixue, come here."
At the side, Yun Che, Bingyun, and Xuerong silently witnessed the discipleship ceremony while eating cakes and drinking tea.
"By the way, where are Qingyue and Yuechan? I haven't seen them since morning." While the ceremony was happening, Bingyun found out that she hadn't seen Qingyue and Yuechan anywhere, prompting her to look towards Yun Che and inquire.
"Sleeping."
"Sleeping?" A confused expression appeared on Bingyun's face. At their level, sleep wasn't even necessary for them.
"They were tired from last night's exercise." Yun Che nodded; his gaze still on Xuanyin.
"You guys were training?"
Yun Che finally turned his gaze towards Bingyun and stared at her with interest. Surprised at the fact that she still hasn't caught on to what he was saying, a smirk bloomed over his face.
"Yes, they were. Once you become my wife, I will also teach you regarding late-night special training sessions."
His blatant innuendo finally made Bingyun realize what he meant, causing her to turn her gaze away from him with an annoyed expression.
"Qingyue has the Nine Profound Exquisite Body. You should have waited till she reached the peak of Divine Master. You just cut a huge part of her potential this way."
Since the Nine Profound Exquisite Body would be transferred with the vital yin, Yun Che now also possessed the same constitution as Qingyue. This indeed lessened her potential, but with the skills he provided, such issues weren't disregarded by both of them.
"Don't worry. With me by her side, even if she was nothing but a talentless farmer, I can make her into a Divine Master."
It was true. After all, with a cheat like Menu by his side, which person couldn't be made into a peerless master? In the original, Satou also trained his friends who obviously would have never reached the levels they did with him by their side.
Bingyun looked towards Yun Che in silence. Remembering how he contracted with the Evil Infant, had Sky Poison Pearl, and Mirror of Samsara, he was like a blinding star. A star that, if the knowledge becomes public, the whole God Realm would want it.
It won't be a stretch to say that a war might even erupt due to his presence alone.
"In fact, turning you into a Divine Master isn't really a problem either. Same with Xuanyin; I can easily make her enter the peak of Divine Master."
Anyone would just burst into laughter at his ludicrous claims, but Bingyun listened to him silently.
For some reason, she found herself believing in what Yun Che said.
She found that unbelievable herself.
"Um. Though I haven't seen the methods, I believe in my lord's claims." Xuerong added with a nod before returning back to eating her cakes.
Suddenly, the temperature in the surroundings increased, way above the usual temperature of the Snow Song Realm, prompting Yun Che to raise his head and look at the sky.
"We have guests."
