Suddenly, a cold and beautiful woman appeared, her skin shimmering like snow. Her thin lips were slightly pursed, conveying a sense of indifference and pride.
Beneath her slender, willow-leaf eyebrows were a pair of bright blue, crystal-like eyes, with a cold, merciless depth. Her entire body emanated an aura that warned others to stay away.
The tall, slender beauty wore an ice-blue, waist-cinching gown. Her flawless, white feet touched the frozen ground, and a string of silver beads adorned her ankles, like a swan's neck. She was staring at Luo Yu in disbelief.
Luo Yu, the one who had caused this, also felt his throat dry. The old, pale woman that everyone spoke of had suddenly transformed into a cold and aloof beauty, which indeed shocked him.
"What kind of divine ability is that? How could you break through my Disguise Secret Art!" The ice-cold beauty raised her icy pupils, and a clear, crisp, and cold voice came from her thin lips, no longer the hoarse voice of her disguise.
"Who are you, and why are you here? Where is Dean Shen Linghan!" Luo Yu focused, not letting his guard down because of her appearance. Instead, he became even more vigilant.
"Answer my question first!" The ice-cold beauty snorted coldly, staring intently at Luo Yu.
Luo Yu suddenly wasn't in a hurry. He swept his gaze across the icy, snow-covered blue domain. "I was worried about making too much noise and alerting the entire Skywater Academy. But now...hehe."
The ice-cold beauty's pupils contracted. If she were exposed in public, it would be easy for her to leave. However, she was only five years away from her tribulation, and she couldn't let this guy ruin her plans after so many years.
"I am Shen Linghan," the woman said coldly.
Luo Yu said, "What proof do you have? Who knows where you put the original dean."
The ice-cold beauty pondered for a moment and then said, "I've never liked vying for power and profit, so I've been happy to teach and nurture here under a false name."
Seeing Luo Yu's obvious lack of belief, the ice-cold beauty continued, "If you understand Skywater Academy, you should know that Dean Shen Linghan has had the appearance of an old woman since the academy was founded, and no one knows her origins."
Boom!
Luo Yu shook his head. The dark golden Power of the Dark Night in the entire Frost Domain suddenly gathered around him. The energy accumulated to its peak and then exploded outwards, the resulting shockwave causing the entire icy blue domain to tremble.
The ice-cold beauty gritted her teeth, and nine blue ice-veined petals instantly appeared beneath her. The temperature within her domain plummeted to an extreme low, and a terrifying aura was held back, as if she feared breaking her domain and being discovered by outsiders.
"I have never interfered with you, and you have never interfered with me. Why do you come here to disturb my peace?"
Luo Yu dissipated his aura and spread his hands helplessly. "I'm here to do business with the dean, not to fight. I didn't expect to discover such a shocking secret, that the dean is actually a stunning beauty."
Hearing this, a cold light flashed in the ice-cold beauty's eyes. If she went all out, she would have some confidence in eliminating the person in front of her, but it would inevitably alarm the outside world.
"You sneak here in the dead of night. Are you really here to talk business?"
Luo Yu waved his hand lazily. "Forget about that. We have no grudges, and there's no need to fight. I'm not interested in whatever secrets you have. I was entrusted by someone to come and ask you to do something."
The ice-cold beauty said coldly, "Entrusted by whom? And for what?"
"Someone asked you to take a student recently, right? Just accept him."
"Shui Dongsheng asked you to come?" The ice-cold beauty wasn't slow to react.
Hearing the woman's quick response, Luo Yu no longer doubted her identity. "I owe Little Shui a favor, so I came to help him with this."
"Sneaking around in the middle of the night for this?!" The icy eyes were momentarily dazed, and a look of bewilderment appeared on the ice-cold beauty's face. She silently cursed Shui Dongsheng, because his petty matter almost ruined her grand plan.
"Fine, I agree. It's just letting a male student in." The ice-cold beauty said coldly.
"Huh?"
She agreed so easily?
Weren't they saying this "old woman" had principles and was unyielding? Luo Yu was speechless for a moment. It seemed Old Shui didn't have as much clout as he did.
"Just this one thing?" The ice-cold beauty looked at Luo Yu with suspicion.
"What else?" Unfortunately, the ice-cold beauty couldn't see the white eyes under Luo Yu's cloak.
"Since I've agreed to your request, you…"
Luo Yu waved his hand. "I understand what to do. I have no reason to reveal anything about you."
The ice-cold beauty nodded in satisfaction.
"Whoosh!"
Luo Yu took an item from his Ruyi Treasure Pouch and shot it towards the ice-cold beauty.
Energy swirled within the Frost Domain, directly blocking the incoming object. The ice-cold beauty was enraged and about to retaliate when she saw the object and was stunned.
Trapped within the frigid energy was an Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid. Its petals seemed to crystallize within the cold, giving it a pure, ethereal feel.
"Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid?" The ice-cold beauty extended a slender, jade-like hand and carefully embraced the unexpected immortal herb, then quickly raised her eyes to look at Luo Yu, who was now standing with his arms crossed.
Luo Yu smiled, "I apologize for disturbing you so late and unintentionally discovering your secret. Although the Douluo Continent is vast, it's quite small for someone of our strength. There's really no need to make enemies."
"I offer this Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid to turn conflict into friendship. Moreover, judging by your pure aura, you are not a wicked person. How about we become friends?"
The ice-cold beauty seemed a little distracted, and she said strangely, "You are certainly generous. The Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid is rare in the mortal world. I doubt even the Papal Hall would give it away so easily."
Luo Yu said calmly, "A mere inanimate object is nothing compared to avoiding an enemy and gaining a friend."
"Hmph! I don't need friends. Take back your Orchid," The ice-cold beauty's aura seemed a bit chaotic as she tossed the Orchid back.
The Power of the Dark Night formed a large hand, catching the herb and returning it to the ice-cold beauty.
Luo Yu didn't seem surprised by her cold demeanor. He held up two fingers and laughed heartily.
"This is a small gift. I only have two requests. First, we are not enemies, and perhaps we can even be friends in the future. Second, after the Shui family boy enters the Academy, with the headmaster's strength, it should be easy to secretly look after a student."
The ice-cold beauty took a deep look at the black-robed figure opposite her. This time, she didn't refuse. The Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid was exactly what she desperately needed at this critical moment, and the goodwill conveyed by the other party also made her body relax a little.
"Forget the friend part, but I can agree to your second condition. You can leave now!" The Frost Domain began to dissipate, and the icy landscape around them quickly vanished, revealing the outline of the room once more.
Luo Yu turned and walked towards the door.
Just as he was about to step out, the Power of the Dark Night enveloped the entire room like a tide, isolating all sound.
Under the watchful eyes of the ice-cold beauty, Luo Yu spoke with a profound meaning, "I am different from ordinary people. The treasures they covet mean nothing to me, like this Orchid."
"As long as you don't do anything harmful, whatever secrets you keep, whether you are a person or a ghost, are of no concern to me. Even this friendship, in my opinion, is possible."
At the end of his words, a phantom of a blue sky banner seemed to appear behind Luo Yu. The ancient charm, as if from the primordial times, permeated the room, and the overwhelming power directly intimidated the other party.
In an instant, the entire room returned to silence, and Luo Yu had already vanished from within.
The ice-cold beauty's body trembled slightly. Her jade hand clutched the Immortal Orchid, and her icy, emotionless eyes complexly regarded the door. She felt as though all the secrets hidden within her were seen through by the other person.
Could it be that he saw through more than just my Disguise Secret Art?
