"It hasn't even been a year since I stopped beating you and you have already forgotten what I am capable of? Want me to remind you?" Senior Qi said as she stared daggers at Chu Liuxiang.

"That's not it, Master. I am well aware of your capabilities, but compared to Yuan… I don't want to call him a monster, but… If you have seen what he's capable of, you'll understand my feelings."

"Hmph! As if I'd lose to some 18-year-old who only recently regained his ability to move!" Senior Qi coldly snorted.

"But Master, you're not that much older than him yourself… And Yuan, he defeated a demon by himself." Chu Liuxiang said with a bittersweet smile.

"Wait… What did you just say?" Senior Qi's face suddenly became serious.

"Y-You're only 25 years old, which isn't that much older than Yuan. Or am I wrong?" Chu Liuxiang swallowed nervously when she saw how Senior Qi's expression changed, and she wondered if it was because she had mentioned her age.

"Not that! You said that he'd defeated a demon by himself? I thought he merely ȧssisted the Six Spiritual Families? That's what they said." Senior Qi said.

In order to keep Yuan away from the spotlight, the Six Spiritual Families told the world that Yuan had only ȧssisted them in defeating the demon. In truth, Yuan had defeated the demon by himself, but only very few individuals are aware of this fact.

"Oh, right. The Six Spiritual Families changed the story a bit to help Yuan since they knew he didn't like to be in the spotlight. But it's true. Yuan fought the demon from beginning to end by himself without any help." Chu Liuxiang revealed the truth.

"...Are you okay, Master?"

"I am…"

Just as Senior Qi opened her mouth, a loud voice suddenly resounded.

"Lulu! Are you here?! I am here to take you back as promised!" Yuan's voice echoed in the garden.
