Assembly

After ending his conversation with Grand Palace's Mistress, Ren excusing himself. But, he was surprised finding Chu Yuechan waiting outside.

"You're still here?" He asked confusedly.

"Umm." She only looked at him with a complicated expression.

"Is there something that weighing your mind?" He continued his step, while she followed behind. It's like already become their custom after one month traveling together.

"What did you discuss with Grand Palace's Mistress?"

"Are you curious?" Looking behind, he can see her beautiful figure.

"Not at all."

"Then you can wait for tomorrow. The announcement would be made at the sectoral assembly." He smiled playfully.

"…"

"Where are Qingyue's private houses? I want to meet her directly." He knows that every single disciple has their own private house and training room. Of course, he wants to give her a surprise.

"I will bring you there." Hastening her step, she led him to a less crowded area.

Even though Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace is one of the Four Major Sect, but their member's number is the least. Compared to the other sects who have tens of thousand disciples, this place who has a little more than a thousand members is rather lacking. Eventually, that make this majestic place, looked like scarce of people.

"Why is there so much commotion?" He can see some peoples running around anxiously, which is rather strange.

"It's because someone doesn't know the meaning of restraint. The majority of my sisters suddenly fainted without reason." Her sharp cold gaze pierced his heart.

"Cough…cough… It was an accident." Apologizing silently in his heart, he explained awkwardly.

Continuing their walk in silence, they ignored commotion behind them. He saw many disciples helping each other, and bring the unconscious to receive treatments. Even he was embarrassed seeing their frantic expression.

Suddenly he can see an otherworldly figure running toward their direction. Every move she made is graceful, while her presence alone stealing away every color from the world. No amount of clothes can seal away her brilliance of beauty. Just like an angel descending to the mortal world, even he was stunned for a second.

"Husband!" She said while throwing herself at him.

Waking up quickly from his reverie, he dodged her intentionally.

"Who are you?" A mischievous smile formed in his mind. While his face remained calm outwardly.

"Husband, it's me. Qingyue." Turning back, she looked at him in disbelief.

"Lie," Ren said while frowning.

"NO, it's really me, your wife. Did you forget me?" Walking staggeringly toward him, she held his clothes tightly.

"Once again who are you? It's impossible that you're my wife."

"Please… Believe me." Stunned by his word, her hand shaking greatly.

"My wife is impossible this beautiful."

"…" Looking at his face directly, her face is full of shock. Tears threatening to fall from the corner of her eyes. She feels that all of her energy vanishing away. Her legs become limp.

"Hahaha… I'm just joking. Qingyue my wife, I'm back." Satisfied with her reaction, Ren embracing her beautiful figure in content. Supporting her body before she can fell down.

Falling into his warm embrace, she feels her stunned mind goes into turmoil. Relief, joy, longing, grievance. All kinds of emotion exploded from the bottom of her heart. She can only cry tearfully while hugging him tightly, feeling wronged.

*Sob…sob…

"There… Don't cry. Yue'er, I'm sorry." Caressing her hair affectionately with one hand, he feels tenderhearted. Looking at her crying, he feels his heartache. Maybe, he is overboard. Coupled with Chu Yuechan who is staring daggers at him from behind, his back covered in cold sweat.

"Sob…sob…" Not listening to him, she only tightening her hug.

"Your senior is still watching. Let's go to your room first."

"…"

Feeling that she wouldn't release him that easily, he chooses to carry her like a princess directly. Chu Yuechan led them to Qingyue's room and left directly afterward.

That day, Qingyue and Ren only spend their time snuggling together on the bed. While Qingyue refusing to release her hug, Ren doing his best to coax her, until both of them fell asleep.

...

In the next morning, Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace calling all their disciples to attend their sectoral assembly in the main hall. The Palace Mistress and the Grand Palace Mistress announcing that Ren would be joining Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace as their Grand Protector. A completely new position that unheard before. With the duty to ensure their security and high-level authority.

This decision causing a huge commotion because he is the first male member of their sect with such a high-level position directly. Even the Seven Fairies was dumbfounded. Chu Yuechan and Xia Qingyue looked at him with a stupefied gaze.

When the time Ren giving his speech, he released his Conqueror's Haki slightly. Not only to make them quite but also to give them some reminder about his strength. Feeling his pressure, some of them who feels doubtful or dissatisfied can only accept it silently. Still remembering what happened yesterday.

"""We're greeting Grand Protector.""" All of them saluting toward him respectfully, with the exception Gong Yuxian and Feng Qianhui themselves.

After dismissing the other peoples, who remained at the main hall is the high-level members. Ren, Feng Qianhui, Gong Yuxian, Xia Qingyue and all of the members of Seven Fairies. Except for Ren, all of them already mastered all of the sect's main profound arts. With each member of Seven Fairies at the Peak stage Sky Profound Realm, while Chu Yuechan herself already at Thrones.

"Palace Master, Grand Palace Master. Why all of us gathered here?" Chu Yuechan asked first.

"It's concerning the future of our sect." Feng Qianhui answered her calmly.

Feeling their gaze in wonder, Gong Yuxian gives them an explanation. From their sect's thousand years calamity prophecy, and the reason why Ren joined Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, and some change that would be made in the future. Understanding dawned on their faces and some peoples that still feel skeptical before, looking at him respectfully.

"As the Grand Protector, I will do my duty at my best ability. But before that, I want to make some change toward this sect. So, not only I need all of your cooperation, but every disciple needs to give their help." Ren declaring seriously.

"Aren't you're overstepping yourself? What do you want to make?" Murong Qianxue questioned him warily. She is the 2nd ranked fairies, with only half step into Emperor Profound Realm. With long shallow ice blue hair and dark blue eyes coupled with her wonderful figure, she is reminding him of General Esdeath from Akame ga Kill. No, she is really the exact copy of her. With only their clothes and personality are what distinguishes them.

"First, I want to revise the Frozen Cloud Arts. I really hate it's nonsense flaws. Just the notion of allowing someone to benefitting from the other people's hard works is irritating me. Just pure bullshit for me." It's because of such a dangerous flaw appeared in their core profound arts that he can't tolerate it. Just a single mistake was enough to bring their destruction.

"Please take back your words! You're insulting my sect right now." Chu Yueli reprimanding him sharply. Her cold voice containing her anger.

"What's wrong? Can't accept it? Please point where is my wrong." Looking at her directly, he is not bothered by her killing intent.

"No matter what, our profound arts are created by the sect's founder. As a junior, you should show some respect!"

"Your sect's founder is a different matter. But with such glaring flaw which persists for a thousand years, what a waste of time! Are all of the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace's disciple is useless!? Can't perfecting even a single art within that amount of time, do all of you even trying at all!?"

His question directly stabbing into their hearts. Because all of them know that flaw all along. But still cultivating it blindly without having any thought for trying to correct it. Depending solely on their sectoral rules to cover their weakness.

"Even I'm surprised that this sect can survive for a thousand years. Just imagine that one day, a mishap has fallen to one of your disciples. Because of that accident, someone knows your secret and spread about it. Can you guess what will happen to your sect? An endless horde of wolves will come flocking together." His cold voice ringing sharply in their ears.

"""...."""

They can't rebuke him at all. Because that was the truth and their greatest fear. The room descended into silence. The atmosphere becomes heavy.

"If Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace wants to move forward, the first step would be to remove this hidden danger. Otherwise, remain stagnant and become destroyed in the river of time is a forgone conclusion." He already accepts to protect this sect. Of course, he wants to do it properly. To help a starving man, it's better to teach him fishing than to give a fish to him directly. The flaw in their profound art is like the source of calamity.

"""....""" Silently looking at him, a determination can be seen from their eyes. Each one of the Seven Fairies accepted his word in their hearts. While fire burning in their heart.

"Grand Protector, please lend us your assistance." Chu Yuechan spoke first while bowing deeply at him.

"""Grand Protector, please lend us your assistance.""" The other fairies following briefly. Even Xia Qingyue happily following them.

"Sure, with pleasure. Please take care of me too. We will be busy for a long time." Looking at their satisfying reaction, Ren smiled refreshingly. With this, he earned their full cooperation.

Looking at them from the sideline, Gong Yuxian can only smile helplessly. While Feng Qianhui looks like already predict it.
