Women can be quite passionate, and when Hu Lin and Li Youmei spotted a few incredibly handsome men in ancient attire, they nearly drooled. They even pulled out their phones, eager to take photos and exchange contact information. However, those handsome men were not just the object of their admiration; the female disciples of the Hidden Sect also eyed them with interest. Even Liang Shanshan couldn’t help but show a glimmer of excitement in her eyes.
Women’s gazes can be sharp, and noticing that Liang Shanshan seemed intrigued by the handsome men, Hu Lin and Li Youmei quickly lowered their voices. If they were at a social gathering in the mundane world, they might have felt jealous of Liang Shanshan’s beauty and grace, leading them to exclude her. But here, they knew better than to offend her.
Thus, Hu Lin and Li Youmei began to compliment Liang Shanshan, suggesting that she was well-matched with those handsome men. They thought their flattery would please her, but Liang Shanshan’s expression soon dimmed.
“They are indeed handsome, but mere appearances cannot attract me. There is only one person at this martial arts conference who can truly captivate me,” Liang Shanshan said softly, scanning the crowd for the person she sought but finding no sign of him.
Upon hearing her words, not only Hu Lin and Li Youmei, but even Chen Jihau and others turned their attention to her, curious about the individual she mentioned.
“Sister Liang, who is this person you speak of?” Hu Lin asked eagerly.
“Mr. Jiang,” replied Liang Shanshan.
“Mr. Jiang?” murmured Hu Lin and the others. “Who is this Mr. Jiang?”
“A peerless master. You are in luck; you will see him in person today. Such an opportunity is rare,” Liang Shanshan smiled.
During the New Year, because Jiang Chen had taken the Yin Spirit Essence from a disciple of the Xuan Yin Sect, they held some prejudice against him. Although he had offered a Lingqi Pill as compensation, no one expected that the sect leader, Liang Houyue, would mistakenly believe it was poison and grind it into powder. When the powder fell on a rhododendron flower, it bloomed instantly, revealing that the Lingqi Pill was indeed an elixir. By then, it was too late for regrets.
The Xuan Yin Sect had come to this martial arts conference hoping to find Jiang Chen, seeking another compensation in the form of a Lingqi Pill. They had seen him yesterday but hesitated to approach when they saw the palace master of Tianlang Palace, Shangguan Yao, challenge him.
Before meeting Jiang Chen, Liang Shanshan had felt somewhat unconvinced by him, but after witnessing his presence yesterday, she was awed by his aura. Her pride seemed insignificant in front of Mr. Jiang.
When she mentioned his name, her eyes sparkled with admiration—a glow of reverence that stirred something within both Hu Lin and Li Youmei. They began to envision a perfect image of this Mr. Jiang.
A gentleman like no other—this must be what they meant by such descriptions.
Even Cheng Xiang raised her eyebrows slightly, her face lighting up with anticipation. She was genuinely curious about this Mr. Jiang. If possible, she wanted to get to know him better.
For Cheng Xiang, those from noble families represented mountains she aspired to climb in her lifetime; and this Mr. Jiang, without a doubt, stood as the highest peak. Although she knew she could not compare herself to either Liang Shanshan or many other beautiful women present, she still held onto hope.
“I really want to meet this Mr. Jiang,” she thought to herself.
“Hey! Look over there! Those three beauties are stunning!” Suddenly, the chubby guy, Jiang Jinsong, pointed excitedly in a direction.
Everyone turned to look and saw three women dressed in modern clothing. Each possessed unique qualities, yet their beauty was unparalleled; their skin appeared flawless as if glazed over. Compared to these three beauties, even the female disciples of the Hidden Sect seemed overshadowed.
“Sister Liang, who are those three beauties?” asked Chen Jihau, unable to contain his curiosity.
"They are disciples of Mr. Jiang," Liang Shanshan said.
"Oh," Chen Jihau and the others responded, slightly astonished but also feeling it was to be expected. Their curiosity about the mysterious Mr. Jiang deepened, yet they looked around and did not see him.
Jiang Chen did not come; he had no interest in watching the morning sparring among the younger members of the Hidden Sect. He had asked Wu Taitian to accompany Lin Yin and the others to observe, while he chose to rest in his room.
However, Mr. Jiang's absence presented an opportunity for many—a chance to get closer to his disciples. With Mr. Jiang nearby, everyone dared only to observe from a distance. His calm demeanor exuded an intimidating presence that discouraged anyone from approaching. In contrast, his disciples appeared much more approachable.
As a result, several members of the Hidden Sect stepped forward to engage with them. Soon enough, Lin Yin, Ye Ming, and Qin Xiaoya found themselves surrounded like stars encircled by the moon, with young disciples from various factions—both male and female—gathered around them.
Lin Yin handled the situation effortlessly, smiling cheerfully and showing no signs of discomfort. However, Qin Xiaoya and Ye Ming clearly felt out of place. Ye Ming blushed deeply under the intense gaze of the group of young men, lowering her head shyly.
Ye Ming was indeed the center of attention; after all, she was set to face Shangguan Yao in a match at three o'clock that afternoon. In the outside world, it would be akin to a little girl challenging a world champion boxer—a sensational headline that would attract reporters from all directions.
Though they were observing her now, everyone hesitated to ask questions when they saw Ye Ming’s reluctance to speak. Her sudden shyness led them to doubt her abilities. Despite being Mr. Jiang's disciple, she still seemed like a bashful little girl. Could she truly be a match for Shangguan Yao?
"Bro, let's go take a look. Who knows? We might even get those three beauties' contact information," one suggested.
"Yeah, let's give it a try," Chen Jihau said, feeling tempted but casting a glance at Cheng Xiang, whose expression seemed strange at that moment.
"What's wrong? Xiangxiang?" Chen Jihau asked when he noticed his girlfriend's unusual demeanor.
"Nothing, I think I just mistook someone," Cheng Xiang replied. Three years ago, she had seen Lin Yin; although Lin Yin had changed somewhat in those years, Cheng Xiang still recognized her. After all, she had endured her greatest humiliation at the Jade Auction House in Liu Fei City that day—how could she forget such an experience? Though Lin Yin bore some resemblance to that girl from back then, Cheng Xiang could hardly believe that this Lin Yin had any right to be here now.
