Hi Avidfan,
Where's the scene where Yixian, The Twins, Yunzi, Lie Qing, Nangon Le, and Zuo Tianyi stopped fighting, make peace and decides to concoct the lie and cover up the death of Youxue? Is it going to be another flashback scene coming at a later chapter?
Btw, I thought the master of the Eternal Ice Palace is now Yi Ping, no matter what Yixian says now she cannot take back her command. And Yixian's ideal successor were to be one of the twins if Yi Ping was not her husband. Perhaps it was Yuoxue's grandmother who desperately wated to be the master of the Eternal Ice Palace, but it seems Youxue is content just to follow Yi Ping around. Lie Qing seems to just like to be around Yi Ping & Youxue--her two saviors, while Yunzi just wants supreme martial arts, revenge and most of all--safety. Hence, she follows Youxue, Yi Ping, and Qing'er around as protection. Yunzi does not appears very close to Zuo Tianyi, nor respect him as much as Yi Ping.... She seems only to interact with Youxue, Yi Ping and Qing'er--her New Virtuous Palace teammates.
