Zhao Yao refused to admit as he feigned ignorance.

"Oh."

Hong Yu pulled out the sword from her waist without saying anything more this time. She was giving off a creepy aura as her eyes were filled with a sense of coldness that made people s.h.i.+ver.

Also, Talon's Gate's disciples had come to their senses as they rushed toward Hong Yu.

Whatever opinions they might have against their master, when enemies invaded them, they must protect and guard Talon's Gate's peace.

However, just as those disciples were moving in front of Hong Yu, a ma.s.sive force suddenly exploded and blew the disciples away just like a whirlwind. The disciples clumsily crashed to the ground.

In fact, back when they were in the Forest of Spirit Beasts, Hong Yu had made those spirit beasts attack and take revenge instead of doing that on her own.

She was giving those spirit beasts an opportunity to vent their anger away.

Therefore, Zhao Yao only realized Hong Yu's power now. The color of his face changed from white to blue, then back to white again, which was a rather remarkable sight.

"You are... a Dark Warrior?"

Feng Ruqing's female servant was actually a Dark Warrior?

Who exactly was she?

Zhao Yao clenched his fists tightly. Ziyan only told him that Feng Ruqing was Liu Yun Kingdom's princess, but she had never told him that Feng Ruqing's female servant was so powerful.

Also...

It seemed that this female servant knew Ziyan too.

How dare that woman put him into trouble!

This time, Zhao Yao had really wronged Ziyan.

Ziyan rarely had any interactions with Hong Yu before as they had only occasionally b.u.mped into each other. Also, Hong Yu had so many freckles on her face now, it was forgivable for Ziyan to not recognize her right away.

How could she be aware of her power when she did not recognize Hong Yu?

"You speak like this is the first time you've met me. I've told you earlier that I've come to Talon's Gate before."

'That's impossible!'

Zhao Yao shook his head and said, "I've never seen you before!"

A person whose face was filled with freckles, if he saw this person before… it was impossible for him to not have any memories of her.

"Oh." Hong Yu seemed a bit confused. "I'm Hong Yu."

'Hong Yu?'

Zhao Yao was dumbfounded and suddenly burst into laughter. "Your ability to talk nonsense is stronger than your power. I've seen Hong Yu before, and she doesn't look like you! How dare you say you're Hong Yu?"

Although Fengyun Manor's Hong Yu was not that attractive to the point that would bring people to their knees, she was a beautiful girl too.

An ugly monster who was full of freckles, how dare she claimed herself as Hong Yu?

"Zhao Yao."

Fei Xue was shocked the first moment when she saw her. Finally, she calmed down, and she had never felt that sober in her mind before. Then, she turned to look at Zhao Yao. "Tell me, who exactly is Feng Ruqing? She has a Dark Warrior female servant, and she's no weaker than you. So, why would she want to seduce you?"

If Feng Ruqing came from a lower social cla.s.s, she would have full confidence in Zhao Yao.

However, this female servant was a Dark Warrior!

How could a small kingdom's princess be capable of hiring a Dark Warrior as a female servant?

In other words, a person who was capable of using a Dark Warrior as her female servant… why would she choose to... seduce another Dark Warrior?

Fei Xue's face was snowy white and her voluptuous body was trembling.

She had trusted and loved Zhao Yao for so many years! She could not bear the thought of somebody coming to uncover his lies!

Zhao Yao panicked. He did not look as calm as he was before. He quickly grabbed Fei Xue's hand. "Xue'er, didn't you say that you trust me? How can I be that kind of person? I don't know why she would fall for me either. However, she has failed to seduce me and now, her love has turned into hatred, so she wants to destroy our relations.h.i.+p."
