-------- The spectators watching suddenly erupted in a chorus of voices mixed with dread and aspiration. "Zephyr! The head disciple of Martial Peak!" "Who is that light purple-haired kid?" "Is that the new Martial Peak disciple I heard about?" "Senior Brother Zephyr and Senior Brother Yan on the same arena…" "Are we going to get a fight between them?" "Shouldn't someone call the elders before things escalate?" While they were chattering, Yan Changsheng finally spoke, his voice calm but carrying a hint of familiarity. "It is a surprise for you to be here, but that needless dramatic entrance does seem like you… How have you been after disappearing for all this while, Zephyr?" Zephyr chuckled lightly. "At least I'm not openly bullying little kids." Yan Changsheng frowned slightly. "Even if everyone doesn't know, you should know that I was barely even fighting. It was a duel I was forced into agreeing to. I didn't really have a choice if I didn't want to go along with his request…" "A request even the great Yan refuses… makes me wonder what it really is…" Zephyr turned toward Soldret and the young sword bearer. He raised his hand and was about to lightly touch the sword bearer's forehead. A sword of light landed sharply in front of them. "Don't you think it is rude to lay hands on someone you just met… Damn casanova…" Zephyr was slightly startled, a hint of unease flashing across his face as he recognized the owner of the voice he raised his eyes. A beautiful and well-adorned female figure slowly descended from the sky. She drifted down gracefully, holding an expansive, translucent umbrella shaped like a massive golden leaf. The golden canopy, veined like a delicate leaf, captured the ambient light and shimmered with brilliant energy, casting a warm glow over her. She possessed striking pale amber eyes that held a sharp yet serene gaze, and long, flowing white hair neatly styled with elegant metallic hairpins. A delicate silver droplet ornament rested perfectly at the center of her forehead. Her pure white robes were impeccably tailored, featuring a high silver-trimmed collar and flowing sleeves that fluttered gracefully with her descent. Long, ornate tassels swayed gently from her hair and the canopy of her golden leaf umbrella, completing an aura of divine elegance. The practitioners watched her every movement in stunned silence, utterly captivated as if witnessing the physical descent of beauty itself. A voice suddenly spoke out among the crowd. "This features and grace… She is the Sword Peak's first flag bearer, Lady Cassia." The crowd's buzzing increased as they couldn't stop talking about her. Even Soldret couldn't deny how beautiful she was — to the point he considered her almost unnatural. "A casanova…? Don't you think that is too much, My Lady…" Zephyr said, his face showing a hint of slight panic. Yan Changsheng sighed as he saw both Zephyr and Cassia in the same place. "This isn't going in a good direction," he mumbled. "You could have interfered earlier but you are now interfering after seeing Zephyr… You really can't hide how you feel…" Before he could finish mumbling, a golden light sword appeared right in front of his face. Yan Changsheng was visibly panicked as he tried joking it off. "Heyyyyy… I'm just joking… just joking." Seeing her blade drawn, one of the spectators said again, "Are they really going to fight?" "Shouldn't we get help from the elders?" "I heard they used to be friends though…" Another one chipped in, cutting him off. "Used to be, idiot. I'm not sure but I heard that after one incident in one of their missions, the relationship between them became weird. Especially between Lady Cassia and Senior Zephyr though they used to be really close before… some even said they would be couples later…" Without letting him finish, Cassia shot a light sword at him. Before the sword landed, it was blocked by what seemed like flowing ink. "Don't you think it is too much to kill a fellow disciple just because you
