"Hello, Little sister. Who's your friend?"

.

"Li ChangYing, what are you doing here."

"I came to congratulate you on becoming a tiger class disciple. We may only be half-sisters, but that doesn't make us strangers. Now, I'll ask you again, who is your friend?"

"His name is... Long-"

Pah!

Suddenly, the sound of a slap resonated through the air. Li Xiang cupped her left cheek as it started to become red.

"I was hoping it wasn't true. You haven't even been here for a week, but you still dare to break one our guild's rules. Did you think I wouldn't hear about this?"

Li Xiang couldn't even see the slap coming. She was just too weak compared to her elder sister.

"I had a reason for bringing him," Li Xiang complained.

"Oh, you have a reason? Say it then, what is your reason for bringing him here?"

Li Xiang hesitated to say it. She promised Xiao Fang that she wouldn't tell anyone about his relationship with Li Lian, but she didn't want to be slapped in front of him.

"You think I won't embarrass you in front of your friend? Hurry up and say it," Li ChangYing said impatiently.

Li Xiang looked up at Xiao Fang, but he didn't seem bothered by it.

The truth was, he really wasn't disturbed by it. In this cruel world of cultivation, such a harmless slap was no different than a light slap on the wrist. Xiao Fang was used to seeing much worse in the Divine Sword sect, so he thought Li Xiang was extremely lucky to have such a caring older sister.

"T-There's no reason," Li Xiang finally replied.

Li ChangYing raised her hand to slap her again. Li Xiang braced herself, but the slap never came.

"You-"

Li Xiang opened her eyes then saw that Xiao Fang was holding Li Changying's wrist in the air.

"I hate to interfere, but could you continue this while I'm not here? As a man, my eyes can't bear to see such a pretty face get hit," Xiao Fang said.

Li ChangYing frowned.

"Your eyes? What nonsense are you spouting," she said as she stared at his blindfold.

She originally didn't pay any attention to him because his aura was so weak that she could hardly feel anything at all. However, the reason she couldn't feel it was because his blindfold was concealing it. Since he was able to catch her slap before it hit, she could only assume that he wasn't as weak as she first thought.

Xiao Fang finally let go of her wrist.

"Since you trespassed into my guild house, don't think that I'm going to let you go either," Li ChangYing said.

As soon as those words came out of her mouth, she threw a punch at him.

[ Misdirection - Punch Fake ]

An illusion of her fist shot straight at his face while her real fist was aiming at his stomach.

In the next moment, her eyes widened in disbelief. Her fist didn't hit him in the gut, all she could feel was the palm of his hand. Xiao Fang had effortlessly blocked her punch.

!!!

She immediately jumped back. Although her attack was simple, it wasn't something an inner court disciple should've been able to block, especially when she was already standing so close to him.

'How is he able to see anything through that blindfold anyway?' She thought.

The more she thought about it, the more mysterious Xiao Fang seemed. She couldn't explain it, but she was getting a really bad feeling from him.

Xiao Fang didn't want to start a fight with anyone in the Li Family Clan. They were all related to Li Lian in one way or another, so even if he didn't like them, he couldn't go around beating them up. Li Xiang on the other hand thought Xiao Fang was being so cool. Not only did he perfectly defend against a sudden attack from a Dragon-Class disciple, he also made her retreat several steps back.

Li ChangYing looked down at Xiao Fang's black robes then saw the outline of a purple Phoenix embroidered onto it.

"So you're a Phoenix Class disciple. Since I've never seen you before that must mean you only recently got accepted into that class. Don't let it get to your head. The jump from the Phoenix Class to the Dragon Class is nothing like the jump you made from the Tiger Class. If you resist against me, your punishment will only get worse," she threatened him not knowing that he jumped from the Outer Court straight to the Phoenix-Class of the Inner Court.

Li Changying was scared of him, but she couldn't figure out why.

Xiao Fang suddenly raised his hand, making Li ChangYing frown more deeply. Li Xiang on the other hand was getting excited. This was going to be the first time she was going to see Xiao Fang fight. Thinking that he was going to attack, Li ChangYing got into her fighting stance. In the next moment, Xiao Fang shot his right hand down towards his left forearm like an axe.

Crrrrrtzz~

The sound of his bone breaking sent chills down Li Xiang's and Li ChangYing's spines, but Xiao Fang hardly reacted at all.

There was an eerie silence, and neither of the girls could take their eyes off his broken forearm. Li ChangYing was already feeling tense, but now she was having cold sweats. In her eyes, Xiao Fang was a monster.

Li Xiang finally broke the silence, "L-Long Wang, w-why did you-"

"Will this be enough?" Xiao Fang asked.

His voice was calm, but it gave Li ChangYing the chills. Despite how it seemed, it was clear to her now that he broke his own arm to give her face. She didn't know what he was capable of, but her basic instincts were telling her to avoid him at all cost.

"Y-Yeah... you can go," Li ChangYing replied.

Xiao Fang started to walk away, but when he realized that Li Xiang wasn't following him he stopped.

"Li Xiang, aren't you coming?"

"Huh... Mn."

Li Xiang avoided making eye contact with Li ChangYing as she walked passed her. Li ChangYing wanted to stop her, but no words came out of her mouth. She was scared, so scared she couldn't even make herself turn to face Xiao Fang's direction in which Li Xiang fled to.

Xiao Fang's eyes were covered, but if it wasn't, Li Xiang would've been able to see them reverted from a haunting purple to an erotic violet color as he walked away.

On the road, Li Xiang kept looking back at Xiao Fang's forearm.

"How's your arm?" she asked.

"My arm?"

Although the pain of breaking a bone might've brought him to tears when he was little, he was no longer a kid, and he experienced much worse from training his Divine Sword method every day. He knew his arm would quickly heal, so he didn't even think about it till Li Xiang brought it up.

"Isn't your arm broken?" She asked.

Xiao Fang raised his arm up then opened and closed his hand. Li Xiang's eyes widened.

"How did you..."

Xiao Fang's eyebrows rose slightly in surprise as well, but he quickly concealed it, then said,

"You don't think that I would break my own arm, do you?" Xiao Fang said teasingly.

As if it was finally making sense, her jaw dropped as she looked up at him.

"It sounded so real. How did you do that?" she asked in excitement.

Earlier, she felt guilty that he would resort to such extreme actions, but now she was both relieved and amazed that he was able to trick her older sister like some sort of magician.

"It's a secret," Xiao Fang replied.

Just like a magician, Xiao Fang didn't reveal how he did it. Truthfully, even Xiao Fang was surprised by how quickly it healed. An injury like that would usually take him a few hours and at least 1 healing regeneration pill to completely recover. Not only did he not eat any pills, his arm completely healed on its own in a matter of minutes.

'I knew the regeneration abilities of a Profound Body realm cultivator was great, but I didn't think it would be this impressive,' Xiao Fang thought.

Even though he was amazed by his own regenerative ability, he didn't show it on his face. Li Xiang still believed it was a trick, so he preferred to keep it that way.
