Mingfei didn't know how much she really understood Mengdie, even though they hailed from the same sect; their dedication and chosen paths were as distinct as two branches stemming from the same bough.
What Mingfei excelled at were the Illusionary Sound Technique and the Dark Flame Technique, and she came from below Vermilion Bird Hall.
Mengdie belonged to the Jade Clear Sect, a rare genius from the First Hall of the Azure Dragon. Her mastery of the Gale Technique was like the purest of flames, transcending the mundane, and her Thousand Leaves Green Vine had reached the eighth level. Her spiritual power was extraordinary, yet even with Mengdie's talent, she couldn't fully break through the ninth layer and attain complete fusion.
As the adage goes, in the natural way of the Dao, water and wood complement each other. To advance her wood-related Five Elements, Mengdie sealed her affinity for them, leaving only her supremely practiced Gale Technique, and arrived at the North Mysterious Hall. It is rumored that for this purpose, she also sealed her voice to achieve a natural harmony with her body; however, these matters are merely hearsay.
Upon arriving at the North Mysterious Hall, Mengdie was like a transfer student, envied by male disciples for her exceptional talents and shunned by the female inner disciples for her stunning beauty.
Regarding the indifferent glances from those around her, Mengdie would often be silent and solitary, not competing with others...
Her personality was somewhat quiet and introverted, as if she was innately oblivious to the opinions of those around her. Unable to communicate through speech, even Mingfei was unclear about the emotions Mengdie truly harbored.
It wasn't only Feng Yi who had such thoughts about Mengdie; Mingfei also found her enigmatic. She felt a certain similarity in their experiences. If the depth of contact with a person could be limited to one meter, then venturing into Mengdie's realm would reveal that you were separated by a cold barrier after only one centimeter, unable to advance even slightly further.
In contact with her, you would discover it wasn't a fiery passion but a reserved quality, like a subtly fragrant flower emitting a unique scent—mesmerizing but not intoxicating, lingering subtly in a way that keeps you contemplating.
However, for some reason, Mengdie responded to Feng Yi. Could it be because of that kid's few cunning words? Compared to responding, what Mengdie's head-shaking suggested was really more like a reserved girl explaining something on her own behalf. Hey, hey, hey... Isn't there a big problem with that!?
Who knows what that kid said to Mengdie when Mardis was chasing him, but the Mengdie of the past would never respond so readily to a person. Speaking of which, there really wasn't anyone like him in the Jade Clear Sect—slick yet substantive. At least, Mingfei was aware that this hero of the National Defense War wasn't as simple as he appeared on the surface; the upper echelons of Jade Clear Sect had investigated him.
Of course, due to the strict rules of Jade Clear Sect and the fact that Mengdie was an elder, nobody dared speak to her in that manner. After all, as an elder, she had the authority to execute disciples at any moment—all she needed was a reason.
It was said there had been disciples who tried to flirt with her: first, they were ignored by Mengdie; second, she would turn and walk away; third, she would walk past directly, not even glancing at you, treating you as if you were air. So tell me, would you dodge or not?
Who knows how that guy who managed to get a response from Mengdie is doing, maybe he's dead by now...
No, maybe he's still alive! He could still make a comeback. At that moment, Feng Yi stood at the peak of Immortal Mountain; as he swung his arms, he leaped and climbed, then plummeted from the summit to land in the forest below with a dull thud, repeating several jumps until he vanished without a trace...
As the main character of this era, Feng Yi certainly wouldn't die that easily. If he died, how would the play go on? Everything was progressing according to the script, and Feng Yi was quite satisfied with it.
Kexiao was still too naive. He concluded Feng Yi had fallen into a wormhole, just a naive assumption. Little did he know there was an old hand lying in wait behind him, poised to strike. At that moment, Feng Yi was like a tiger in a car, emboldened by years of quick handiwork, ready to take a risk and rush forth.
In other words, there was roughly half a second left to activate the light transmission for a safe escape. If half a second passed, he could fall into the wormhole and most likely lose quantum entanglement contact.
If he activated the light transmission within that half-second, he wouldn't necessarily fall into the wormhole, just with a much lower probability. Conversely, if he activated the light transmission at the moment of falling into the wormhole, his chances of returning to the world were not nonexistent but greatly reduced.
In some ways, a wormhole is more akin to a concept of a space tunnel. You could reach the same time-space transmitted by the wormhole through 'high-speed light' travel in the current world. However, due to the limits of the difference between high and low light speeds, normally, when low light speed wanted to reach the destination, the wormhole might have already disappeared—being a manifestation of unique celestial bodies, often formed by distortions of quantum magnetic fields in space-time fissures, its existence tends to be short-lived.
Feng Yi delayed until the last moment precisely to create the illusion for Kexiao that he had fallen into a wormhole.
The encounter proved that the skills of the fervent soldier were not for naught. During the entanglement, whoever activated the light transmission first would lose because at that moment you had already departed, and it was uncertain if your opponent would actually fall into the wormhole. This was also why, after the event, Kexiao continued to monitor the fiery fleet for a time.
