Sky-splitting Sword Sect, behind the mountain, within the bamboo forest.
Inside that cool pavilion,
a woman dressed in white looked at Xiao Yi impassively. Beside her, Bai Bingxue brewed a pot of fragrant tea for the two of them.
Then, Bai Bingxue discreetly retreated to the side.
"Don't hold back," the woman said with a faint smile.
"The young lad doesn't understand what the Senior is referring to," Xiao Yi shook his head, urgently asking, "Please tell the lad directly how to save Elder Yi."
The woman softly spoke, "Your temperament is indeed not bad."
"No wonder that unruly Tianxing is so fond of you."
"But if you keep holding back, your injuries will accumulate and it'll be troublesome."
Xiao Yi shook his head, "The Senior need not worry, the lad is fine, we should first..."
Xiao Yi hadn't finished speaking.
Suddenly, the woman struck with a palm, hitting Xiao Yi squarely in the back.
"Puh." Xiao Yi spat out a mouthful of bloody sputum.
