Wan Ge coughed and then introduced Xiao Baishu: "Hero Xiao, this is my master and mistress's daughter, Feng Guang, who is also my junior sister."

"Miss Xia." Xiao Baishu clasped his hands in greeting again. He seemed to possess both the rigidity and politeness of a scholar.

Wan Ge said, "Junior Sister, I'll take Master Xiao to his guest room first. Wait for me here."

As soon as she finished speaking, Wan Ge left with Xiao Baishu. Feng Guang stood there alone, not understanding why Wan Ge wanted her to stay. But she couldn't just leave like that, so she waited in the corridor for about five minutes before Wan Ge finally returned.

Moreover, he returned using his light-footed skills. As soon as Wan Ge landed in front of Feng Guang, he cheerfully handed her a package, saying, "Fresh osmanthus cakes. I bought them when I went to pick up Master Xiao today. Are you happy?"

"Happy!" Feng Guang's mood immediately improved when she saw the food. She took the osmanthus cake and gave Wan Ge a smile.

Seeing the beautiful scenery, Wan Ge was in a good mood and said, "Junior Sister, from now on, whenever you're unhappy, I'll buy you delicious food, okay?"

"Thank you, Second Senior Brother!" Feng Guang decided to stop complaining in her heart that the title of Second Senior Brother reminded her of Pigsy (Zhu Bajie). She then asked curiously, "Doesn't our Hidden Military Mansion rarely allow guests to stay here? And I've never heard of Xiao Baishu before, so why is he staying here?"

"Junior Sister is unfamiliar with the affairs of the martial world, so she doesn't know that the war between the underworld and the righteous path, which takes place every fifty years, is about to begin."

While munching on a osmanthus cake, Feng Guang asked, "What is the Zhige War?"

"The underworld and the legitimate world have been vying for the top spot for many years. A hundred years ago, the leaders of the underworld and the legitimate world, under the witness of Guanxian Island, which belonged to no power, made an agreement to hold a war to end the conflict. The war would be held every fifty years. At that time, the legitimate world and the underworld would each send three people to participate in the competition. The side that won would be in charge of the affairs of the martial arts world for fifty years."

Upon hearing this, Feng Guang asked, "So, who won last time—the underworld or the legitimate world?"

“The last time…” Wan Ge said, “the war to stop the war fifty years ago did not take place as scheduled.”

"Why?"

"Because before the war even started, the three underworld experts had already fought with the three legitimate experts, resulting in heavy losses on both sides. Neither side could find replacements, so the matter was dropped."

Feng Guangming said, "So, this Master Xiao is the righteous master of this war to stop the fighting."

“That’s right.” Wan Ge said, “This time, the righteous experts are Xiao Baishu, the great hero, Canghai Shenlong Zuo Shoudao, and Shui Shangfei Sai Feifei. But not long ago, Zuo Shoudao was ambushed and lost his life. The alliance leader suspects that it was the work of the underworld, so he asked our Hidden Army to protect Xiao Baishu. As for Sai Feifei… his whereabouts are elusive, and we are still looking for him.”

Feng Guang listened to the story with rapt attention, "So this is what Senior Brother meant by bloodshed and turmoil..."

Although she was no longer in the martial arts world, she could still sense the undercurrents within it from Wan Ge's narration.

“Every word my senior brother says is true.” Wan Ge earnestly advised, “Junior sister, don’t be angry with your senior brother all the time. Sometimes it’s always good to listen to what he says.”

Feng Guang gave a perfunctory "oh," and then asked, "Second Senior Brother, tell me what kind of person the leader of the martial arts alliance is."

"Alliance Leader Qi is extremely skilled in martial arts, but he is also kind-hearted, friendly, and gentle. I heard that once when he was out, he saw a commoner being oppressed by river bandits. That very night, he stormed the bandit stronghold alone and wiped it out by himself. He was injured in the process, but he said he was fine. Not only that, he also often deals with injustices in the martial arts world. In his spare time, besides doing his job, he likes to read books. Whenever Alliance Leader Qi is mentioned, everyone speaks highly of him."

Wan Ge held Qi Chang'an in high regard.

Feng Guang stroked his chin and said, "Aside from the fact that his martial arts are extremely high, why do I feel that the alliance leader you mentioned is somewhat similar to our senior brother?"
