When the last sword ray vanished, Ai Hui came out of his highly-concentrated state of mind.

Clap, clap, clap! A round of applause sounded.

Interrupted, Ai Hui, who was still feeling the high from his training, raised his head somewhat unhappily only to realize that it was Xiao Shuren.

”Sir, your swordplay is exquisite. I have never seen anything like this. It’s a new experience and a great honor. May I know the name of that swordplay?”

It was as if Xiao Shuren’s eyes were emitting light. Her originally beautiful complexion carried an extra luster now. Her face was full of admiration, making it difficult for people to refuse.

Xiao Shuren had confidence in her beauty. It was well-tested and had never before failed her. Whenever she pulled this move, all the men would look at her as if they wanted to swallow her up. They would never reject any of her requests.

”Heh heh.”

Ai Hui chuckled. It was a pity that he had an elemental energy mask on. The scar on it, coupled with its fake smile, carried an indescribable gloom and coldness.

Heh heh?

Xiao Shuren was stunned. What did that mean?

Although she had been through many significant occasions, she was now at a loss and did not know how to continue.

An awkward silence ensued.

As though there was no one around, Ai Hui kept his sword and prepared to exit.

Xiao Shuren reacted, a fog rising in her eyes. As if she was going to cry, she asked in a pitiful voice, ”Did I disrupt your training?”

”That’s right.”

Ai Hui answered matter-of-factly.

Xiao Shuren’s body turned rigid. That’s right… What’s right? Her cherry lips opened slightly, her complexion stiff. The speech she had prepared so meticulously was stuck in her throat, unable to come out. She had met so many reputable fighters, and no matter how displeased they might be, they would still smile and respond politely with: ”Why do you say that, Miss? It’s such an honor to have you interested.”

Why were there such crude and unfeeling people in this world?

In that moment, this was all Xiao Shuren could think.

Following which, she thought, perhaps it was because she wasn’t beautiful today?

If Ai Hui could hear her thoughts, he would lament his misfortune. Miss, just throw out a few hundred thousand elemental energy points and he would be overeager to compliment your angelic beauty. Not to mention the swordplay’s name, you could even get him to impart the skills with some negotiations.

Thinking back, this was the same as how he treated One Thousand Yuan. There was no pressure at all for him to do the same thing again.

However, the guard at the entrance became agitated. ”Outrageous! How dare you treat Madam so rudely!”

A guard dashed over aggressively. A righteous indignation filled his heart upon seeing his mistress being wronged.

Seeing this person charging over, Ai Hui’s pupils shrank. He was unable to determine the man’s intention, but as a seasoned fighter, he absolutely would not act passively.

With a turn of the broad sword in his hand, he became like a spinning top as a round, silver disk swiftly appeared before this guard.

Xiao Shuren’s face changed greatly as she shouted at the top of her lungs, ”Stop!”

The guard only felt the anger of the silver sword ray sweeping over. An intense bloodlust shrouded his whole body as a sky-piercing whistle seemed to approach him.

He had never before seen such an overbearing swordplay or felt such biting bloodlust. His mind went completely blank.

Without any warning, the silver, raging wave dispersed like bubbles and left only the dumbstruck, pale-looking guard standing on the field.

Ai hui’s silhouette had already disappeared.

Only at the end did Ai Hui realize that he was still on someone else’s boat. He restrained his attack.

Seeing that Ai Hui was gone, Xiao Shuren regained her composure. She also had no idea where He Lao came out from.

”He Lao, what do you think?” Xiao Shuren asked calmly, without the slightest fear or panic.

”Shouldn’t be an enemy,” He Lao muttered.

Xiao Shuren nodded. That was also what she thought. If an enemy had the intention to invade their circle, he would think of a way to get close to them, pull strings, and even gain their trust. However, that fellow was so cold and clearly expressed his disinterest in getting close to them.

She asked directly, ”Did you notice anything about his swordplay?”
