"Ah, that duel. I've heard plenty of people talking about it in the last few days, including elders." Elder Ru Qi stated with a curious expression the very next moment.
When Yi Chen heard those words, his eyes brightened that very moment as he nodded like a chick and said with a pitiable expression, "Yes, Elder Ru Qi… Because of the Pill Apprentice Exam, I've been fully focused on pill refining in the last few days and hadn't been giving enough time to my combat training.
Therefore, for the remaining days, I'm planning to fully focus on practising my martial techniques and swordsmanship… so it would be really helpful if you could postpone these classes after this duel…"
Yi Chen paused to look into Elder Ru Qi's eyes in an attempt to convince her. He truly appreciated that she was willing to personally guide him, but at the same time he didn't want to make his schedule hectic when the day of the duel was fast approaching.
However, Elder Ru Qi thought otherwise.
