------ Even after Lady Cassia, the first flag bearer of Sword Peak, had left while carrying the injured sword bearer, the arena remained chaotic. Disciples wandered about, whispering excitedly about what might happen next. After all, three major figures — Yan Changsheng, Zephyr, and Wen Xuan — were still standing in the center of the field. Meanwhile, the three seniors were casually catching up as if the intense atmosphere around them didn't exist. "So the reckless one who dived in was the new disciple of Martial Peak," Yan Changsheng said, scanning Soldret's body with a sharp gaze. A grin soon appeared on his face as he realized something. "Peak Master Radahn definitely made a show after seeing his looks. Considering how he reacted after seeing you get more handsome as you grew older, Zephyr." Zephyr chuckled softly. "Just as you would have thought he did." Wen Xuan looked at them both and sighed. "But really though, I thought we were closer than that… You didn't even notify us of your arrival after leaving so abruptly following San Zheng's departure…" Yan Changsheng also realized this and frowned slightly. "Did I really need to do that?" Zephyr replied calmly. "You probably already knew about my arrival anyway with those eyes of yours… And I didn't… want Cassia to know about it." Zephyr paused. This was another side of Zephyr that Soldret didn't know about. Apart from being the casual, all-capable senior brother, he seemed like someone with his own life and difficulties. Somehow, it made Zephyr more human and reminded Soldret that the senior wasn't just a great figure from the fragments, but someone with his own burdens as well. Yan Changsheng cut in with a teasing tone. "Xuan will know, but I won't? Do you even consider me your friend, huh?" Zephyr smiled faintly. "And I just got a new junior brother as well. With Master leaving for the Great Wall, I had to help him with his cultivation…" Yan Changsheng opened one eye and looked at Soldret, who was smiling awkwardly. He then sighed. "Fine, I'll forgive you. But is the situation at the Great Wall already that dire?" Before Zephyr could reply, Wen Xuan stopped him with a raised hand. "Let's continue this conversation elsewhere." He waved his sleeve, and a rune-like scholarly character appeared, shining faintly. In the next moment, Yan Changsheng, Zephyr, Soldret, and Wen Xuan all teleported away from the arena. --- When Soldret opened his eyes again, he was in a completely different place. They stood in a serene courtyard on Confucian Peak. The outer pavilion was built on a gentle mountain slope, surrounded by lush green grass that swayed softly in the breeze. Ancient trees with vibrant autumn leaves provided dappled shade, and in front of them was a large, elegant stone game board set on a low wooden platform. The entire scene felt peaceful, like a painting come to life. Wen Xuan led them toward a spacious pavilion with open sides, allowing a gentle breeze to flow through. They sat down around the stone board. The atmosphere here was calm and refined, far removed from the chaotic energy of the arena. Wen Xuan tapped one finger lightly on the table. Suddenly, small black bean-like creatures emerged from the grass. Each had a single green, cyclops-like eye that glowed faintly. They moved with surprising coordination, bringing out elegant tea cups and a delicate tea jug. They poured fragrant tea for everyone with practiced grace. After serving, the little creatures quietly returned to the grass and blended in once more, becoming indistinguishable from ordinary blades of grass. Soldret stared in awe, his eyes wide. "What… were those?" Wen Xuan smiled gently. "Just a little trick of mine. They are helpful and don't mind the work." The group sat together, sipping tea as the conversation continued in a more relaxed manner. The tension from the arena had faded, replaced by the quiet camaraderie of old acquaintances catching up. Yan Changsheng leaned forward slightly. "So… is it real
