Murong Feiyue knew his cousin’s personality very well. She was arrogant by nature, and extremely strong in terms of strength. Even when she was faced with Jiang Tong, she never had a kind word to say. With a personality like that, this was the first time he had ever heard anything like that coming from her mouth. Someone who was far more terrifying than Jiang Tong?

Jiang Tong was in the top twenty of the Youth Ranking List, and she fought to fame, being known as the ‘demon girl’ by everyone. She was the first woman to succeed in placing among the top twenty on the list, and her reputation was not any lower than his own. Murong Feiye could admit that if she used her secret moves on him, he would also be caught in a tight spot. Jiang Tong was already on another level in the ancient martial arts world, and because of her high reputation, everyone assumed that she was the most suitable for Jiang Shuxuan.

Murong Feiye knew that Murong Miaoxue wasn’t lying to him when she uttered those words, there was no point for her to. But if that were the case, then why didn’t Jiang Shuxuan bring the girl out to meet the others of their brotherhood? They had gone through so many things together, if any one of them really fell in love and found a partner, there was no reason for them not to bring them out and introduce them.

But from what he saw yesterday, it seemed that Jiang Shuxuan didn’t want him to see her.

Murong Feiye paused for a bit. “Listening to what you just said, I’m not itching to see and get to know her.”

He had initially returned to the ancient martial arts world due to the turmoil that was happening, but he didn’t expect to have dug up something more interesting. A smile stretched on his face as he thought about how fun it was going to be.

“I hope you don’t come to regret your decision,” Murong Miaoxue said before hanging up the call, clenching her fist tightly. She had improved quite a lot over the past few months, at least, to the extent that it wouldn’t be too one-sided if she had to face the demon girl.

Only, every time she recalled that day, Gu Xiqiao’s indifferent face and the terrifying pressure on her person, and being locked in the empty space, a shiver would shoot down her spine.

It wasn’t enough! She wasn’t strong enough yet!

Determination burned in Murong Miaoxue’s eyes, and after drinking a glass of water and taking a short break, she entered the training tower again.

Not far away, Jiang Tong looked at Murong Miaoxue quietly, her thoughts deep. The girl beside her couldn’t help but comment, “Murong Miaoxue has been entering the tower day and night, but she still can’t reach your level, Tong Tong. I don’t know where she gets the thought that she can compare to you at all!”

Jiang Tong’s lips curled up at those words. “Forget about her, let’s go in.”

She only had Jiang Shuxuan as her goal in mind right now, everything else was just insignificant in her eyes.

The next day, Peng Zijie walked into the visitor room of the prison, looking at Peng Zixian with no emotion in his eyes.

Peng Zixian pressed herself against the glass, with a desperate gaze at Peng Zijie as she cried out, “Brother, Brother, just let me out from here, will you? This is not a place for humans, look, look at my hands!”

Peng Zixian raised her bloodied hands to show him, and it seemed like in just one night, she had aged years, and she felt extremely battered and exhausted.

“Brother, they gave me stale buns to eat, and locked me up with those mad women who committed crimes. They asked me to lick the floors and use my own towel to clean the toilets!” Peng Zixian couldn’t take it anymore. She was a dignified daughter of a noble family, why did she need to suffer such embarrassment? She was being oppressed by the group of prisoners.
