-

Six years ago.

A vague white silhouette - Ming Feizhen - and a vague black silhouette - Yu Feiyuan - streaked back and forth at the bottom of Night Net Mountains cliff, trading blows that created vacuums each collision and picking up the pace as they went.

The tree behind Yu Feiyuan bent over as she charged a punch and unleashed it, swaying the tree behind her. Ming Feizhen smiled in praise and generated a tornado with a wave of his hand. Yu Feiyuans force rippled in the atmosphere similarly to an arrow rocketing through a wall of water - decelerating and mute. Ming Feizhen then effortlessly caught Yu Feiyuans fist in his extended hand.

The gaze behind Yu Feiyuans black bangs showed she had no intention of resisting whether that was because she was used to Ming Feizhen holding her hand or she knew she couldnt break out. Either way, her locked brows indicated she wanted another shot.

“Thats the ninth time in a row youve utilised Vajra Divine Might. From what I know, Matriarch Zi could only utilise it only eight times even after mastering Snow Techniques Free Realm.” Ming Feizhen pressed his palm up against Yu Feiyuans and siphoned gentle energy of his own over to her, easing her nerves and demotivating her. Smiling, he stated, “Even though this isnt an A-grade style, there are few female adepts in Jiangnan who could offer you a challenge. Your biggest weakness is being able to deploy but not withdraw your output. Well, Snow Technique takes time to master. Your shifu wasnt an expert on it until she was in her forties.”

“Mm,” Yu Feiyuan responded half-heartedly. She never felt she could surpass her shifu, hence the unsurprised reaction. Besides, she trusted Ming Feizhen would take care of her if necessary.

Smiling helplessly, Ming Feizhen inquired, “Have you familiarised yourself with the mental cultivation style I taught you”

The style Ming Feizhen referred to was the only style he taught Yu Feiyuan. The other things he taught her were merely combat tactics and principles. Yu Feiyuan learnt whatever she was taught and never forgot it once she remembered it. That was how she went on to rack up an undefeated record in Jiangnan at her tender age.

“Yes, I only mastered it last month even though you imparted it to me four years ago. Brother Ming, it was really hard.”

“Thats to be expected. Your internal energy is advancing further and further. Vajra Divine Might needs to be trained in conjunction with Snow Technique once you reach a certain point in order to progress as balance is paramount. You put your nose to the grindstone, surpassing how effective Snow Technique is at balancing out Vajra Divine Might, which is where my mental cultivation style comes in to take over for you. I shouldve spent months to explain it to you, but Im out of time.” Yu Feiyuan didnt hear the emotion seeping into Ming Feizhens voice. He continued, “A storm is converging on Jiangnan. Although Matriarch Zi is elite, I do want you to have the ability to defend yourself.”

Ming Feizhen handed Yu Feiyuan a sheet of paper, explaining, “This is the continuation of the style. You must be more cautious than cautious without me coaching you by your side. Make sure to learn it off by heart and learn. Vajra Divine Might will only bring you harm at this stage in your development, so dont train it any further, understood”

“I wont.” Smiling from ear to ear, Yu Feiyuan expressed, “I wont train it if you tell me not to. Grabbing another sheet of paper Ming Feizhen passed her, Yu Feiyuan questioned, “Is this also a martial arts style”

“No. Its a letter to call off our engagement.”

“A letter to… call of our engagement Brother Ming… What is…”

“A letter to break off an engagement is a letter to break off an engagement. Look at me.”

Yu Feiyuan looked up into Ming Feizhens eyes. Though the two had been more intimate before, it was the first time she had seen him so serious. Only then did it dawn on her that he wasnt just a strong elder brother who got along with her but closer to being a biological elder brother. She suddenly found herself unsure how to react and having an inclination to avert her gaze.

“Do you like me” Ming Feizhen questioned.

Fondness, disdain, hatred and joy, emotions that needed to be expressed were foreign territory for Yu Feiyuan.

“I…”

“You dont know, right Our shifus joke is what established our engagement. Its unfair on you because you didnt have any say in the matter.”

Yu Feiyuan couldnt find the words to speak despite sensing something that didnt align with her thoughts: “But I, but I, b-”

“Do you know what Divine Moon Cult has been up to recently” Ming Feizhen pointed to the west and expanded, “The Western Regions seven armies will arrive at the border at any moment, while Divine Moon Cult is also waiting to take action. Nobody believes that theres anyone conceited enough to challenge the imperial court and orthodox sects authority. I, however, know that Ximen Chuideng is crazy enough to. Im sure that the day he decides to challenge Nine Provinces empire is close at hand.”

Ming Feizhen couldnt bear to keep going when Yu Feiyuans anxiety painted her face. Alas, he had to continue, “You shouldnt marry someone you dont like just because your shifu cracked a joke. Pass the letter to your shifu. She can choose whatever reason she deems appropriate. Youre at the right age to start searching for a husband.”

On one hand was a sheet that expressed care. On Yu Feiyuans other hand was a sheet of paper as sharp as a sword going through her heart. She questioned, “I dont understand… What about you What happens next”

In a gloomy tone polarising his suave strut, Ming Feizhen tugged the corner of his lips up subtly: “I… might not make it back alive.”-
