Chapter 169: Chapter 102: A Chance Encounter with an Old Acquaintance (2)

Gu Xiaoxi listened and suddenly everything clicked.

Five Elements Fist! It’s all about brute strength and the robustness of one’s body and bones. To be able to compete with Inner Strength was impressive indeed.

Gu Xiaoxi’s large eyes roamed around before finally settling on the Fencing Ground not far away.

A group of people were practicing fencing, two of whom were engaged in a peak duel.

Gu Xiaoxi gazed at one of the figures, feeling a sense of familiarity.

Yet, after only a brief glance, she didn’t think much of it. Now half past three, she needed to go back soon to prepare a big meal.

However, both of their fencing skills were very impressive, and watching them, she actually became interested and took a longer look.

The man who was fencing seemed to sense a gaze upon him and instinctively turned to look back, his eyes met Gu Xiaoxi’s directly.

Gu Xiaoxi sat there quite openly.

Through the helmet, she could not see the other’s face.

But beneath that helmet, the expression transformed in an instant, and the man froze for a moment. It was during this lapse that his opponent struck him hard in the chest with a sword.

With that hit, he had lost.

Gu Xiaoxi frowned; who was that person? Did she know him?

Just as she was wondering, the fencing match had already ended. The victor had removed his helmet and, laughing at the man whose focus had faltered, said, "Yi Chentian, who did you see that caught your eye? The unbeatable myth, and today I’ve beaten you for once. The beauty over there looks quite pretty; do you know her?"

Although they were some distance from Gu Xiaoxi, eavesdropping on their conversation was enough.

She hadn’t expected the man to be Yi Chentian and to encounter him in such a place.

Gu Xiaoxi touched her nose, stood up, and decided to act as though she knew nothing, striding out of the Combat Ground.

Some people remain in memory like Immortal Realms once mistakenly wandered into – however beautiful, it’s ultimately just an unrealistic dream.

She had nothing to say about Yi Chentian.

"Xiao Xi, wait up!"

Just as Gu Xiaoxi stepped out of the Combat Ground, Yi Chentian, helmet in arm, called out to her and quickly caught up.

Gu Xiaoxi turned around, her eyes meeting his squarely.

Yi Chentian, still in his fencing attire and having fenced with the helmet on, now with the helmet off, had his short hair drenched in sweat, looking somewhat disheveled. His face was as handsome and gentle as before, extraordinary in demeanor. But the slight disarray gave him an even wilder appearance, a gentle charm tinged with a hint of rebellion.

Gu Xiaoxi thought that few men could have skin as fine as his; despite having undergone harsh training, his complexion remained pale without a blemish in sight.

"Is there something you need?" Gu Xiaoxi arched an eyebrow, looking at him indifferently.

Yi Chentian hugged the helmet tighter, stepped forward, and stood in front of Gu Xiaoxi, his voice deep, "Do you have some time? There’s a coffee shop ahead; let’s sit for a while."

Gu Xiaoxi glanced at her watch, three forty. There was still time; she could still make dinner if she got back by four thirty.

"I don’t have much time, twenty minutes."

"I know, last time you saved me. I haven’t properly thanked you yet," said Yi Chentian, leading Gu Xiaoxi towards a small coffee shop nearby.

At that moment, there were already two people sitting in the coffee shop.

Gu Xiaoxi didn’t recognize them, and Yi Chentian just greeted them before taking a seat by the window with Gu Xiaoxi.

Gu Xiaoxi looked up at Yi Chentian, sensing an indescribable feeling of strangeness.

Just then, a female soldier in a short skirt came over with a cheerful smile, bringing their coffee.
