Zhongshan City, on a seaside beach.
The sun was setting, casting slanting rays over the sea, as if the entire ocean was clad in a golden armor.
Two figures stood at a corner of the beach, a place scarcely inhabited, barely visible even to those playing by the sea.
A thin face, cheekbones pronounced, eyes shining bright, the man let the sea breeze flutter his clothes, even as seawater splattered over him, remaining motionless, for his eyes were fixed on the other side.
Opposite him was a youthful face, long hair tied up and bound at the back, wearing a gray outfit, looking quite casual.
"I remember the first time we met was right here." The man, with a somewhat sinister face, revealed a slight smile.
Ye Zi looked at the man opposite her, recalling how she had secretly observed him from the shadows back then, only to be discovered, followed by a confrontation she couldn't match.
In the end, she was captured and forced to become his disciple.
