Sword and Ice, Part II

Hua Xue sat in a VIP booth with Xun Xi. The second youngest among the Three Ice Fairies looked putout still. Ever since she lost, Xun Xi had either been sulking or day dreaming like a young girl in love.

I really hope she hasn’t fallen for Jian Wu. That would be… problematic.

Out of all the girls in the Ice Phoenix Sect, Xun Xi was the most expressive, though the average person might not be able to tell. Her face was still mostly blank. The cultivation technique all members of the sect were taught made them cold in both mind and body.

“You should not sulk, little one,” Hua Xue said.

“I’m not sulking,” Xun Xi said with a pout.

Hua Xue gave her a small smile. “If you are not sulking, then what are you doing?”

“… Contemplating.”

“Contemplate later. This is one battle you should not miss.”
