”Ye, someone’s investigating you! And he’s good at what he does.” Shang’s sinister voice was very different from usual.
What was with Shang? Ye Chong asked carefully, ”Shang, what’s with you?”
”Humph, that d*mned b*stard, to play his tricks when I’m around. He’s too arrogant, does he think I’m so easy to bully?” Shang’s cold voice quickly turned exasperated.
So that was it! This tone was more like Shang's. Ye Chong continued on with what he was doing and said casually, ”Shang, then you should take care of him!”
”Hehe, you know me best, Ye!” Shang was pleased. ”Humph, while my computations are not as good as Mu’s, but in other aspects, hehe … If this guy wants to show off in front of me, then he’s found the wrong target!” Shang spoke his last sentence haughtily.
Ye Chong did not feel like pitying the guy. It was just his bad luck! Shang was usually happy-go-lucky, and may seem careless, but Ye Chong never doubted his abilities. While he may not be as powerful as Mu in terms of computations, Shang was a master in the art non-physical sciences such as psychology. The methods of threatening that he shared with Ye Chong and that entire scheme with the Sanctuary’s starship were all meticulously woven plans.
Mu behaved like a typical PSI, but was more powerful than others. He possessed the trademark rationality and computation-heavy mindset typical of PSIs. Shang, however, completely overhauled Ye Chong’s concept of PSIs. He was irrational, less competent in computations, but extremely well versed in non-logical areas like emotions and psychology. It was definitely an odd PSI.
In any case, one could be sure that Mu and Shang were both very powerful.
Powerful characters typically could not stand having their authority challenged. This behavior was clearly present in Mu and Shang.
”Just be mindful of what you’re doing!” Ye Chong said impartially, and continued with his practice.

Zuo Ling looked at Rui Bing openly with fiery eyes.
To think that this ice-cold lady was actually a Jie expert like himself! A Jie expert at such a young age was incredible. He had received strict training from the Zuo family since young, and his natural physique allowed him to attain Jie at such a young age. If not for the Zuo family’s resources, his achievements would only be just a dream. For a 26-year-old to attain Jie was a remarkable feat, even back in the old days when combat was popular.
Today, however, he had seen someone even younger than him, a Jie expert that came from an unheard of family. The Rui family? He was certain that it was not any one of the combat based aristocratic families with long histories; he had never even heard of this family before. What surprised him the most was that this Jie expert was actually a woman!
The female body was relatively limited compared to a man’s in terms of combat, and this limitation could only ever be removed by attaining Jie, since Jie experts no longer rely solely on physical strength in combat. However, without years of efforts, it was difficult to attain Jie. Based on the existing records of combat history, female Jie experts were few and far in between.
Her icy smooth charm and dignified manner was wrapped up in a white training garb that fluttered slightly in the wind. Her snow white skin was flawless, and her long, dark hair flowed down smoothly like a waterfall. Her faint red lips hid a certain warmth beneath. Her calm gaze was like a creek flowing through the glaciers, silent and chillingly unapproachable.
Zuo Ling was certain that he had never felt such desire, a desire to wrap her in his arms and melt her with his burning embrace! Zuo Ling was not a stranger to women; on the contrary, he had met and reciprocated countless of them. However, the icy woman before him was the first who had ever let him feel this way.
Zuo Ling’s open stare was vexing for Rui Bing. She humped coldly, pouring cold water on Zuo Ling’s feelings. He immediately gathered himself, and when he looked at Rui Bing’s leaving figure, the only thought that crossed his mind was this - Rui Bing, you must be mine! Zuo Ling fisted his hands tightly.
Hua Shangmei, Deng Chong and Zheng Zhongxing stared in stupefaction. They never imagined that the fragile looking Senior Sister Bing would be so powerful! Perhaps even their master would not be a match against her. In the friendly match earlier, Rui Bing had tied with Zuo Ling.
Hua Tiankai looked at Rui Bing’s retreating figure and felt happy for his friend who had passed away, but also felt shame when he thought of how his three students had performed.
Rui Bing sat alone in her room, her eyes on the clear water in her glass, but her heart was elsewhere. She could see his figure reflected in the water, looking calmly at her. For a moment, she felt lost in her feelings.
”Where are you?” Rui Bing murmured ever so softly to herself.

Ye Chong continued his practice, going through his dull routines every day. Shang, on the other hand, looked like he was up to something, busying himself with things.
