These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

The middle-aged man in front always had a polite smile on his face and didn't seem to have any particular personality.

"That's hard to say... After all, I am also a member of the Yuanjian Sect."

Luo Kang said with a smile.

"I could have guessed it even if you hadn't said anything, senior."

"Oh?"

The middle-aged man seemed not to believe it.

Luo Kang recounted the story as if it were a treasure trove of knowledge.

"First of all is Qiao Zhiheng from Zitan Peak, right? In Yuanjian Sect, he should be considered one of the most talented people, and he is about the same age and level as my senior brother."

The middle-aged man chuckled, not surprised that he knew this.

Luo Kang continued speaking to himself.

"Then there's Gong Ziqi from Crimson Eyebrow Peak... and Bai Youwei from Snow View Peak, and then it should be Li Hanyang from Green Pavilion Peak..."

Yuan Jiacao looked at Luo Kang with a puzzled expression.

"Are you a spy sent by the Lu Chen Sect or the Yuan Jian Sect? How do you know everything about them, from the mountain stronghold to the people involved?"

Luo Kang chuckled.

"This is because we don't fight unprepared battles. I've done all the research beforehand. Senior Brother is most likely to face Qiao Zhiheng from Zitan Peak. But if the opponent wants to use a track and field horse race, then it's not so certain."

At this moment, the middle-aged man who had been listening to Luo Kang's boasting suddenly laughed.

"Young man, do you know who the last one is?"

Luo Kang thought for a moment.

"This is no problem for me. It should be Jiang Ying from Xiaoyuan Peak. Xiaoyuan Peak only has two people, and she is the only one who can be considered capable. Her strength is not to be underestimated... and she is very close to the Dragon Slayer Realm."

Upon hearing the name, Yuan Jiacao's eyes flickered, almost causing an earthquake in her pupils.

But the middle-aged man in front of him just smiled and shook his head.

"Guess again."

"Huh...it wasn't her? That's impossible...Could it be that Little Iris Peak didn't send anyone? Or was it someone from another mountain? Let me think, what about He Zhi from Crimson Eyebrow Peak?"

"Guess again."

"Yuan Jian from Zitan Peak?!"

"Guess again."

"Tsk... Who else could it be? Could it be that they've sent some nobody, really intending to play a game of 'Tian Ji's horse racing strategy with us?"

Luo Kang couldn't guess.

The middle-aged man had already led the group to their destination.

He smiled and looked at everyone.

"You can arrange your own rooms. By the way, the sect leader asked me to pass on a message. Since you've come to the Yuanjian Sect, you should at least abide by our sect's rules and not wander around aimlessly, especially on other peaks. They are quite wary of these things, and they don't even manage the main peak very well."

"Thank you, senior. We understand."

Yuan Jiacao nodded and thanked him.

Luo Kang hurriedly called out.

"Hey, senior! Tell me, who was the last one? Could it be that another disciple of the Yuanjian Sect has suddenly appeared recently?"

The middle-aged man smiled and looked at Luo Kang.

"Well, I can't say, you'll have to guess, but... I bet you'll never guess."

After the middle-aged man left slowly, they were quickly assigned to different rooms.

Yuan Jiacao and Luo Kang shared a room; there were two beds, so it wasn't crowded.

Luo Kang, however, couldn't understand it.

"Tsk, so mysterious... who could it be?"

Yuan Jiacao had no time to think about these things.

He simply watched the light outside the window gradually dim, and finally stood up.

"I'm going out for a bit. If Uncle Chen looks for me, just tell him I'll be back soon."

Luo Kang looked at Yuan Jiacao with a sly smile, his expression ambiguous.

"Senior brother, you can't hold back anymore?"

Yuan Jiacao did not answer, but before leaving, she deliberately stopped in front of the water vat in the yard and looked down at her own appearance.

No problem, he's charming and refined.

She must like this kind of person, someone who can strategize and plan with ease, isn't that what every woman hopes for?

But I also hope she's different... but she should also see me.

Strength is the most primal form of worship.

Although I only went to Yuanjia Grassland on Xiaoyuan Peak once and even took the wrong route, it unexpectedly became a route that has been etched in my mind all these years.

He walked across the suspension bridge, past the stares and whispers of passersby who were watching him.

There is a hill behind this suspension bridge.

Three years ago, it was there that I met her, the one I would remember for the rest of my life.

As the wind gradually subsided, Yuan Jiacao, having calmed her mind, crossed the suspension bridge.

My pace quickened as I walked through the lush, fragrant grass.

Until I saw a small courtyard surrounded by bamboo.

He saw her.

A frail-looking body.

Yet it possesses an unimaginable radiance, drawing one's gaze and heart.

So he walked over step by step, and even couldn't help but push the door open.

The other person seemed to have noticed him.

Those were still those eyes, seemingly indifferent, yet the clearest in the world.

Her expression remained flawless and unwavering, like the most perfect and flawless jade.

He stepped forward, opened his lips, but the words he wanted to say stuck in his throat.

Do you... remember me?

All that remained was this one sentence, brimming with anticipation and excitement.

But the other person glanced at him, and...

"Tap tap—"

With a cold, even expressionless look, Jiang Ying took two steps back.

Looking at the man in front of her who was completely unfamiliar, whose origins were unknown, and whom she had no recollection of at all, she felt puzzled.

Who is he?

Why did you suddenly come to Xiaoyuan Peak?

Wait, whoever it is, let's create some distance first.

Otherwise, my junior brother will get jealous.

He's a little rascal who only allows himself to be jealous and doesn't allow anyone else to be.

Yuan Jiacao was stunned. Watching her take two steps back, she couldn't say a word for a moment.

Especially since she spoke coldly to herself.

"I don't remember."

A normal person would probably feel disheartened and think that pretending to be mistaken is the best way to ease the awkwardness.

However, after so many years of hard work and with her deep-rooted obsession, Yuan Jiacao's thoughts turned to other places.

His pride and his obsession told him that this couldn't be the truth.

She must remember herself...

Wait a minute, I know her name, but maybe she doesn't know mine, or maybe she's complaining?

That cold, aloof demeanor... could it be a silent accusation?

Yuan Jiacao then looked at Jiang Ying with a gentle expression.

"Miss Jiang, are you blaming me...blaming me for not showing up for the past three years?"

"???"

Junior brother! There's a really strange person here! He's so weird!! PS: Can you post more? I think we should be able to get a recommendation this week? Let's go!

35. Could you demonstrate? (Seeking votes at the beginning of the month~)

In fact, Jiang Ying felt to some extent that her views on the outside world were insufficient and her scrutiny of people's hearts was too narrow.

There was no way around it; her heart could only hold that one person, and she didn't have the extra energy to observe others.

But this situation did reassure her somewhat.

Indeed, there's no need to pay too much attention to the outside world. There's nothing to regret about focusing on practicing swordsmanship and spending all your time with him.

Because there are just too many strange and peculiar beings in this world who are unaware of their own existence.

In her opinion, it was a waste of time to get to know them.

So there's no need to care.
