When the sounds of fierce fighting on the mountaintop platform ceased, one Martial Cultivator’s expression flickered with disbelief. Could that fellow, Old Lin, really be stronger than Young Master Chu, the top of the Hero List? Absolutely impossible!
Another muttered, almost to himself, But if you think about it, he’s been on the Cloud Mist Platform for over twenty breaths, and the fighting went on for a good ten breaths or more!
"To withstand the Mysterious Female Cultivator’s attacks for over ten breaths... perhaps he really... really is stronger than Young Master Chu!" a third Martial Cultivator managed to say, his voice strained.
"To think Great Marsh Prefecture had such a powerful Martial Cultivator hidden away!" exclaid soone else. "Just now, watching his slow, leisurely pace as he walked into the mist... looking back, he wasn’t dragging his feet at all! He was brimming with confidence, completely unhurried!"
In a corner, Liang Qinhu, with his swarthy face, walked over to Ye Kai and the others, still looking sowhat dazed. "Who exactly is this gentleman? Which sect does he belong to, and what’s his na?"
At that mont, Liang Qinhu’s face was a picture of astonishnt and sha. This Martial Cultivator achieved a better result in the martial arts tournant than Chu Qing; his talent and strength were clearly beyond anything I could have estimated. Rembering how I previously said the man could only last three breaths—, the eighth on the Hero List—I feel utterly ashad.
However, no matter how ashad he felt, he couldn’t suppress his curiosity. And I desperately want to get to know this mysterious Martial Cultivator!
Standing there, Ye Kai shook his head with a bewildered expression. He was just as confused! I only know this gentleman’s surna is Lin, and nothing else...
He looked at Han Feiyan with a puzzled expression. "Big Face... I an, Beautiful Yan, who exactly is that gentleman?"
The surrounding Martial Cultivators, hearing his question, all turned their heads, looking curiously at Han Feiyan. At this mont, everyone was desperate to know who this Martial Cultivator—capable of withstanding the Mysterious Female Cultivator’s attacks for over ten breaths—truly was.
Under the fervent gazes of hundreds of Martial Cultivators, Han Feiyan, as expected, shook her head. I’ve sworn a deadly oath; I can’t divulge Master Lin’s secrets. "Um, I also just t him in the Demon-Suppressing Valley," she said. "I only know his surna is Lin, and I’ve always called him Brother Lin!"
The nurous Martial Cultivators were sowhat disappointed upon hearing this.
But Liang Qinhu was clearly unwilling to give up. He walked over to Zhao Yufei, cupped his hands, and said, "This lady must be a kinswoman of Brother Lin’s, yes? I am Liang Qinhu of the Qiu City Liang Family, and I greatly admire Brother Lin’s strength! After Brother Lin’s competition concludes, I, Liang Qinhu, intend to host a banquet to celebrate properly for Brother Lin. Would that be acceptable?"
At this mont, Zhao Yufei observed the fervent gazes of the crowd. Seeing the curiosity and admiration in their eyes, her heart swelled with joy. My husband is the only one who defeated the Mysterious Female Cultivator! she rejoiced silently. That’s sothing even Liy Changming, the Prefect’s son, and Chu Qing, the top of the Hero List, could never achieve! Absolutely never! She was, after all, a Mysterious Female Cultivator who commanded heroes and even made Ding Rui kneel!
However, recalling how these Martial Cultivators had mocked her husband before, a slight smile touched her lips, and she lifted her chin a fraction. "My apologies, everyone. Although I am his wife, I only know his surna is Lin and am unaware of his sect or background. As for Mr. Liang’s invitation, as his wife, I cannot make such decisions on his behalf. We’ll have to wait until my husband descends the mountain."
Hearing this, a wave of frustration rippled through the crowd. A wife who doesn’t know her husband’s full na, sect, or background? Only a fool would believe that! Why all this mystery? Can’t they satisfy our curiosity just a little?
However, though everyone felt dissatisfied, not a single person dared to voice it. The man she was married to was, after all, a terrifying expert capable of withstanding the Mysterious Female Cultivator’s attacks for over ten breaths. Who would dare to gossip carelessly as they had before?
Ye Kai was speechless. Who would have thought that the person sitting next to just now was such a formidable and terrifying expert! Rembering Han Feiyan’s warnings, a pang of regret struck . Brother Lin truly is a figure far beyond my imagination; even soone like Liang Qinhu of the Liang Family wants to get to know this great man! Then it hit —Brother Lin was still hoping to get the Alchemy Manual from my family...
Instantly, Ye Kai’s eyes lit up. Hahaha, I, Xu Kai, still have a chance to get on Brother Lin’s good side! At this thought, he was so overjoyed that the very air around him seed to grow sweeter.
Ye Kai couldn’t help but sidle up to Han Feiyan, using his Jade Fan to fan her. "Big Face... I an, Beautiful Yan, you’re truly a lucky star! Being able to get to know Brother Lin through you, it’s truly my good fortune!"
"Hehe!" Han Feiyan sat happily on the stone stool. "Could you fan my back a bit more over here? Mmm... yes, yes, right there!"
「...」
"You won!," the Saintess Xiaoo Ying’Er said calmly, sensing the perfectly harmonious Sunflower Water Strange Vein within her body.
Hearing her words, Celestial Sect True Disciple Ding Rui’s face registered utter disbelief. I never imagined it! The Celestial Sect Saintess—whose status is comparable to the Celestial Sect Leader and far surpasses even Elder Hua’s, the Third Princess most doted upon by the Emperor of Great Xia—would actually admit defeat to so naless nobody! This scene is too absurd! It’s like a bizarre dream... as if a Divine Dragon from the Nine Heavens had just bowed in defeat to an ant on the ground!
