The opening time was approaching, but who exactly was this Ai Jiudie? Not only did she easily evade him, but her agility far exceeded his. Her elegant aura, familiar scent, so familiar that it felt close to him, even made him take notice.

With a multitude of thoughts in mind, Feng Yi walked slowly towards the pinnacle arena…

Elsewhere in the arena, the Butterfly Empress and her companion arrived at the hotel, paying a visit to the old friend Blade Warrior, "Sir, it's been a long time since we last met."

"Indeed, but who might this young lady be..."

Blade Warrior's gaze shifted to Ai Jiudie, and he was momentarily stunned by her breathtaking beauty…

Mingfei exchanged glances with Ai Jiudie and smiled, "This is the daughter of the White Tiger Elder from the Jade Clear Sect."

"The daughter... what a beautiful person!"

"Thank you for the compliment, forgive my presumptuous visit."

"No disturbance, no disturbance."

Blade Warrior fixed his gaze on her more intently. He considered himself well-versed in many things, yet he rarely heard of a surname starting with 'female,' especially one with such world-renowned beauty, scarce as it was, she compared proudly even to Mengdie.

And her temperament was completely different from Mengdie's.

Graceful and charming, elegant and serene, poised and dignified, Blade Warrior found his vocabulary inadequate to describe the stunning impact this meeting had on him, far surpassing Mengdie's.

"Elder Ming, I have often been in contact with your sect, how come I have never seen this young lady before?"

"The younger sister has exceptional talent and has been traveling and cultivating outside for many years, naturally making her hard to encounter."

"I see." Blade Warrior nodded in realization, "I wonder if the young lady has come to participate in the pinnacle battle?"

"Indeed," Ai Jiudie replied.

"For someone as beautiful as the younger sister, her skills must be extraordinary?"

"I hope sister won't laugh at me, this girl is not talented and wishes to meet the famous Mr. Feng."

"What!? You want to fight Feng Yi?"

She hesitated slightly, having to admit that if it were someone else, Blade Warrior would believe the young lady was not inferior to anyone. The correlation between appearance and strength has been a pattern throughout history, like Feng Yi, Roland, Sky Shadow, Mengdie.

But if she was to choose Feng Yi as an opponent, she didn't believe it.

However, the young lady simply smiled gracefully and sighed, "How can the mere light of a firefly compete with the radiance of the bright moon? I have always admired Mr. Feng, naturally, my strength cannot compare to his, but I still wish to learn from him and fill the void in my heart."

Such a healing smile, Blade Warrior felt almost melted by her subtle, smiling apricot eyes and clenched his fists, "Good luck."

"Sir Blade, to be honest," Mingfei spoke, "the younger sister has already met and exchanged blows with Feng Yi."

"How did it go?"

"There was no definitive result, in terms of strength, they were evenly matched, but in speed and agility, she was slightly above Feng Yi."

This…

"Evenly matched in strength? Slightly superior in agility?"

Mingfei nodded, "Yes."

Upon hearing this, Blade Warrior suddenly had a bad premonition.

Because she was a woman, and considered herself good at reading people, she felt that the young lady was definitely not one to boast, and should be quite humble. If asked why? It was just a feeling, an inexplicable feeling.

But Mingfei vouched for her, evenly matched in strength, slightly superior in speed?

If it were just Mingfei speaking, there was no need to mind, but the young lady smiled without replying, which was enough to indicate the underlying truth.

In other words, if the strength was even, it might still be above Feng Yi, and if her agility was slightly superior, then… this lady's speed would absolutely far exceed the latter!

As for the young lady, she naturally knew more about Feng Yi.

On the surface, Feng Yi was inherently optimistic, unrestrained, carefree, not prone to bickering over trivialities, but these were only on the surface. If he suddenly encountered such an opponent, it would be hard to quell his fighting spirit! Impossible to rest until the matter was settled.

"Elder Ming, are you saying Feng Yi and the younger sister just exchanged a few moves and then stopped?"

"Of course not. Feng Yi was interested in continuing to spar with my sister, but my sister didn't like to fight without cause to avoid injuring bystanders, so she politely declined."

"I see…" Blade Warrior nodded, "The opening time is almost here, since the young lady has registered to fight, why don't we all leave now?"

"As you wish, if you don't mind, you can also come to our Zana VIP area to watch together, the seats are quite good."

Mingfei's words did not cause Blade Warrior any doubt, after all, the Jade Clear Sect had close ties with Zana's officials, securing a good spot was quite easy, but did you think Sister Dao couldn't get one?

Of course not, Mingfei's words were just a courtesy, after all, this wasn't a major battle yet, just the first stage, thinking this, Blade Warrior accepted the offer, "Haha, it seems I cannot refuse Elder Ming's kindness."

Watching the four turning to leave, Mo Ying's gaze glimmered… this young lady had something interesting about her… it seemed to have sensed something or perhaps nothing at all.

Ai Jiudie seemed to sense something, and upon catching a brief glance, she revealed a subtle, serene smile, "Sir, you seem to have an extraordinary disposition, you must be a hidden master. As a friend of my sister, why not join us?"

"Haha, I'm just a minor figure, I won't intrude on your enjoyments."

Mo Ying smiled and responded, using his gaze to see them off, then appeared near Feng Yi.

Feng Yi: "It's you…"

"Haha, it is indeed I, I have also met Mingfei and that young lady," Mo Ying laughed, "Have you already crossed paths?"

Feng Yi nodded…

"How did it feel?"

"Feel in what sense?"

"For instance, about that young lady."

"Well…" Feng Yi fell into brief thought, propping his chin, "Do you care about her a lot?"

"Haha, what a switch of roles, I am the one asking, yet it's turned back on me? Or is it that the one who truly cares about her is you."

Feng Yi spoke wryly: "She's incredibly strong, incredibly alluring, incredibly enigmatic, even making me feel very familiar."

"In what aspect?"

"Her gaze." Feng Yi's voice was firm.

"Through her gaze, what did you see?"

"Multiple complex emotions, perhaps she cares a lot too, or maybe I'm just overthinking. Why do you ask?"

"No particular reason, but I think this will be an unmissable fight, of course, I look forward to seeing your encounter, your battle, and the subtle connection between you two."

"Fight…"

Feng Yi struggled, shaking his head, asking himself truthfully, he was actually reluctant to engage her, perhaps this abrupt contradiction was incomprehensible…

As if seeing through Feng Yi's heart, Mo Ying asked, "What are you sighing for?"

"I don't know either, but I don't want to harm her, yet if I don't give my all, victory seems elusive."

"So you mean, using all your strength would hurt her?"

"Perhaps, my instincts tell me, she is someone I don't want to fight."
