"Please wait, young lady." The middle-aged man, having regained his composure, hurried forward. Seeing her halt her steps, he bowed respectfully with clasped hands: "Your noble deed deserves this salute from Huangfu Xiao."
Feng Jiu turned sideways, declining his salute, and replied, "You flatter me. It was merely a coincidence."
"This Yin-evil aura was exceptionally potent. Huangfu Xiao admits he had no absolute confidence in handling it. Yet you incinerated it in the blink of an eye. Your skill is truly masterful. Huangfu Xiao is thoroughly impressed." He spoke with genuine admiration.
Feng Jiu remained silent, merely observing him.
Just as Huangfu Xiao prepared to speak again, a voice called out from behind him.
"Brother, are you all right?"
