At three in the afternoon, the heat of summer had dissipated, leaving the sunshine warm, and a cool breeze blowing through the shaded paths near Wanxiang Forest.
When Le Yuxin arrived, she found Shi Wen and another young girl had been waiting for quite some time.
Since he had promised to teach Shi Wen the Combat Technique, he certainly wouldn't break his word—at least not until after the Eye of Omniscience exam, lest Shi Wen shouted, 'This Combat Technique isn't worth learning! Le Yin, you're blind, just wait and see!'
"Good afternoon, Teacher Hongle."
The two of them said in unison when they saw Le Yuxin approaching. Shi Wen seemed a bit unwilling, but the young girl next to him nudged his leg, so he obliged and greeted her too.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Shi Wen." Le Yuxin looked at the new girl. She dressed simply and her appearance was indescribable: Her face was swollen and bruised like a pig's head, making it impossible for Le Yuxin to discern her underlying beauty or plainness.
