Why?

A student with a thin face beside Zi Hansha spoke in a sharp voice, "We've also long wanted to see elder brother Zhang's sword technique. Will you please instruct us?"

With Zi Hansha leading them, those students seemed to be asking for advice yet it felt more like coercion of Zhang Ruochen. Even an idiot could tell their true purpose.

Xue Yingrou furrowed her brows. "Junior fellow apprentice Zhang has rescued us before. It's not nice for you to do this now, is it?"

"Junior sister apprentice, we truly just want to be instructed in sword technique. We don't mean anything else. Don't misunderstand!"

Zi Hansha maintained his smile but jealousy was ravaging him on the inside. Xue Yingrou had always worshipped him but now she was favoring that bastard Zhang Ruochen.

Did he have to defeat Zhang Ruochen so she would understand who was the truly superior?
