"Not exactly. It just reminded me of my days in the outer court where us disciples train tirelessly." Xu Qi replied with a chuckle, redirecting the conversation.
"I see. If it's not an imposition, would you care to join me in a sparring match one of these days?" Feng Jingyi's eyes gleamed with excitement and Li Na who was walking ahead of them flinched a bit as though she was the one who just issued the challenge.
"I'd be honored, Miss Jingyi. But I'm afraid I might disappoint you. My cultivation is still quite elementary, you know." He flashed a humble smile. Something he was already used to do.
At Xu Qi's words, Li Na spoke up for the first time, "My lady, I believe Young Master Xu is being too modest. His reputation precedes him. I can sense that he's at my level, if not stronger than me. It may be difficult for you to match him in a sparring but can I also try my hand on it? I want to see the difference of my attainment against a disciple of the Wandering Palace."
