"Why hesitate? Don't men always say no, no, while their bodies are more honest than anyone else's?"

Feng Yi, feeling helpless, gently pushed her away and said, "People's personalities are different, my queen. There are still many things to deal with, so you should head back."

"I won't, absolutely not."

"Fine, if you won't leave, then I will."

"Wait! Where are you planning to go? Take me with you."

"How well do you think we know each other, sister? Can't you stop entangling me? I want to ask, what exactly do you see in me? Should I change it? Besides, I'm sure there are plenty of people just as beautiful as you who would throw themselves at someone else—Honestly, my mind is a mess right now with Xiu Yi, Mo Ying, and women... ah, forget it."

Upon hearing this, Elysis felt extremely wronged and upset, thinking how she, a grand Ancient Queen, could, could...

"Hmph, just wait, I'll definitely defeat you on the peak battle stage!"

She stomped her foot hard, then ran out without looking back and took flight, quickly disappearing...

Isn't this just a child's tantrum? Feng Yi could only sigh as he watched her leave!

With his trust in the young lady declining, he now had to consider finding her again to inquire about Mo Ying's whereabouts. Contacting Mingfei should manage this, as Blade Warrior often communicated with her, and with this in mind, Feng Yi soon got in touch with Blade Warrior.

Unexpectedly, Blade Warrior's response was surprising, as everyone was present, including the young lady and Sky Shadow.

A few minutes after arriving at the scene, the tense atmosphere made him realize how interesting the situation had become. He quickly moved into the crowd to gather information.

"You're finally here. If you were any later, they would have started fighting." Blade Warrior was the first to approach Feng Yi, urging him to quickly intervene.

"You're talking about Sky Shadow and that young lady?"

"Yes, at the time, I was providing materials to Sky Shadow. Who would have thought Mingfei and others would find me, leading to this situation? Sky Shadow even claimed his hand was injured by her."

"Is it not?" Sky Shadow questioned everyone, then continued, "I wanted to settle accounts with her after she reached the finals, but who knew today would be so coincidental, and she would deliver herself; Elder White Tiger, since you calculated against me behind the scenes, what more do you have to say now?"

The young lady let out a slight 'hmph' and said with a smile, "Eavesdropping is not honorable. I applied a small punishment to warn you not to offend next time; was that wrong?"

"Hahaha, clever girl, even using poison to calculate against others can be justified by you with such righteousness. I would like to ask if I kill you now, would it count as a legitimate counterattack?"

"Of course, if you have the capability." The young lady maintained her smile; her elegance and poise betrayed no hint of emotion at those words.

"Oh, so does that mean you are finally admitting to using poison behind the scenes?"

"You should take back those words. If I intended to harm, transferring all the Hidden Veins inside Brother Feng to you would not be of such potency," she moved a few steps elegantly and said, "Besides, Hidden Veins are originally possessed by the Titan royal family, so don't unjustly accuse."

"Miss, let's teach this arrogant fool a lesson." Immediately, a few inner disciples from the Jade Clear Sect stepped forward swiftly.

"You are not his match, step back."

"But..."

"Didn't you hear what I said?"

"Yes!"

"Haha, your minions are loyal indeed—oh White Tiger girl, there's no point in talking further; do you dare to fight with me?"

"Sky Shadow, it's true that distinguished people forget things easily. I just mentioned yesterday, defeat me in the ring, and I'll naturally tell you what you want to know."

Feng Yi frowned. Although he was willing to trust the young lady, no matter what, Sky Shadow was one of his people, so comparing the two, he trusted Sky Shadow more.

"Miss, are you..."

The young lady was taken aback, "Brother Feng, even you think I would harm your friend?"

"That's not what I meant, it's just..."

She silently lowered her head, then revealed a charming, soulful smile, saying meaningfully, "So even Brother Feng wants to keep me here."

"Mo Ying is my friend, and I hope to ask about this matter directly."

"Then go ahead!"

"Go ahead?"

"Rest assured, I'm not leaving. Go ahead."

Now it was Feng Yi's turn to be surprised. "You know full well you have the ability to leave, yet why do you want me to make a move?"

"Isn't that exactly what you want? Since Brother Feng doesn't believe me, then why ask such questions?"

This... Feng Yi was momentarily speechless.

She gazed at him with a gentle and deep emotional glance, with a touch of hurt and an indescribable emotion that made Feng Yi feel at a loss, as if he was the one bullying her, as if he was the one being unreasonable.

She was so clever; clearly she could leave, yet why would she act impulsively on just a word from him?

"Miss, you..."

"I felt an instant connection with Brother Feng, but that is personal feeling; you don't need to mind it, just make your move," the young lady said with composure, her grace remarkable as she gestured elegantly, with an understated grandeur that commanded respect.

"Why waste words with her? If you don't act, I will."

With Sky Shadow's outburst, his power instantly surged to the peak.

The surrounding strong winds howled, the young lady secretly astounded at Sky Shadow's formidable strength, realizing he reached a state of moving heaven and earth with ease, yet she remained undaunted, as her Dantian's energy surged rapidly, abundant Inner Strength poured out around her.

All of a sudden, Sky Shadow's aura was entirely pushed back by this Inner Strength...

This left everyone around momentarily stunned!

For a moment, Feng Yi was taken aback, Blade Warrior was taken aback, Mingfei was taken aback, even Sky Shadow himself was taken aback! This was impossible; even if the people from the Jade Clear Sect were formidable, they were only known for techniques like Mengdie's movement skills, how could there be someone with such unfathomable Inner Strength.

But, Sky Shadow still let out a cold laugh. "Miss does have impressive skills, but I'm curious if your body can withstand it."

After all, this was merely Inner Strength. The hidden lineages' internal cultivation had always been ingeniously crafted, against these warriors, they held a substantial advantage. Yet in terms of raw strength, she far wasn't his match, this much everyone acknowledged, that's why Sky Shadow was so confident.

As soon as he finished speaking, he shot forward like an arrow, believing that with just one palm, this young lady would likely lose her fighting ability, but hitting her wasn't simple either, so this move was purely a feint to probe.

Magnificent Inner Strength surged around the young lady, and of course through the flow of aura, she could roughly discern the authenticity of the attack, narrowly stepping forward like a shadow and counteracting with a swift falling flower attack, aiming for the upper body.

Sky Shadow didn't expect the opponent to go hard too, thinking it was a feint as well, his palm attack initiating swiftly, it was even faster to retract, swift as the wind and swift as lightning.

It was just a feint, yet as soon as he withdrew his hand, he was surprised as his wrist was suddenly caught by her seemingly smooth as jade two fingers, their force surprisingly strong, and having lost the initiative, even he couldn't break free instantly.
