Upon hearing this, the two elders of the Dongdan family and Dongdan Yinxiang were now completely convinced that Ji Fengyao was a big shot in the Zhou family.
Despite their resentment, they dared not utter any harsh words to Ji Fengyao.
With a slight gesture from the two elders, Dong Dan Yinxiang and the other members of the Dong Dan family carefully retreated and slunk away.
If Dongdan Yinxiang hadn't been so eager to see Dongdan Shuiyue make a fool of herself, and had sent two collateral disciples to drag her away before she left;
Dongdan Shuiyue lay limp under that big tree like a dead dog, and no one paid her any attention.
Ji Fengyao shook her head inwardly: This is the reason why those great families inevitably decline after reaching their peak.
The struggle for power has already darkened and chilled people's hearts. Is the complete decline of the family far away?
After the Dongdan family members were scared away, Ji Fengyao, having eaten and drunk her fill, lost patience and could no longer play hide-and-seek with the person hiding in the shadows.
"You've had your fill of the spectacle, haven't you?" She said casually, facing the direction where the boy was hiding. "If you came here for me, then show yourself. If you didn't, then I'm leaving. Don't bother following me around like that."
"You really can sense me," the boy's unusually cold voice rang out, accompanied by the soft sound of twigs being parted.
Ji Fengyao only felt a figure flash before her eyes.
Because she didn't sense any malice from the other party, and because the other party was too fast for her to completely dodge, she didn't move.
A cool sensation suddenly ran down her face as the fresh air flowed smoothly over her delicate skin.
The boy held the human skin mask on the little bandit's face with his fingertips, and stopped five or six steps away from her with his back to her.
Turning around, upon seeing the charming and lovely face of the young female bandit, the boy's star-like eyes momentarily lost their focus:
She wasn't the most beautiful woman in the world, but she was the only one who could touch his heart.
"What... is your name?" The boy suppressed his coldness and softened his gaze as much as possible.
"Although your cultivation is higher than mine, since you've asked my name, it means you intend to befriend me." Ji Fengyao's small hands were behind her back, making her look cute and her attitude neither humble nor arrogant. In reality, she was on high alert, ready to slip into the Tower of Life at any moment. "Since you intend to befriend me, shouldn't we treat each other fairly? You've removed my mask, so shouldn't you also remove your own disguise? Otherwise, whether you know my name or not is meaningless, isn't it?"
The young man, "Yanhanxing," lightly flicked his finger, removing the black cloth from his face to reveal a handsome face as beautiful as a lotus blossom in autumn. His voice was uniquely clear and cold, like water droplets in a quiet stream wearing away stone: "Yan as in smoke and mist, Han as in coldness, Xing as in stars."
Such a handsome young man, with an exquisitely beautiful name, like a male protagonist straight out of a comic book; his name and good looks complement each other perfectly.
Ji Fengyao's eyes brightened a third when the boy's face was suddenly revealed.
but……
The boy's next words caused Ji Fengyao's eyes to tremble slightly, becoming somewhat unfathomable: "You can also call me Xiao Jiu."
Xiao Jiu is the nickname the prince uses among his family members.
"Senior's cultivation is higher than this junior's, how dare this junior presumptuously address senior as 'junior'?" Ji Fengyao smiled brightly, her eyebrows curved, looking very cute and approachable. Her voice was light and cheerful, showing no guile. "However, since senior has followed me all this way without ever making a move, I suppose senior is not from the Zhou family or the Dongdan family. So why have you been secretly following this junior all this time?"
