After Jiang Yixiao and Madam Zeng left, it took a long time for the cold in Jiang Xiaobai's body to gradually dissipate. His protective True Yuan circulated anew, completely dispelling the chill within him.
"Young master, you shouldn't have confronted Madam Zeng so directly!" Hu Ma's voice came from the neighboring cell.
Jiang Xiaobai replied, "What, do you expect me to show her a friendly face?"
Hu Ma said, "Young master, one must learn to bow to circumstances, endure hardships with patience, and wait for the right opportunity. Do you know how poisonous her Cold Ice True Qi is? Although your cultivation won't be destroyed, your bones and meridians are all damaged by her Cold Ice True Qi, making it hard for you to make any progress in cultivation for the rest of your life."
