Learning of the ranking matches gave Han Yunxi a keen sense of the danger Long Feiye faced. However, the true threat laid in undoing his seal. Once it was gone, Long Feiye’s current martial arts combined with the vast reserves of internal energy still kept in check would make him unbeatable for Cang Qiuzi. The Lustbite Seal of East Qin Dynasty had given him strength as well as restrictions. The greatest one laid in the fact that once he was unsealed, the energy of the Lustbite Seal would run rampant and risk him going insane.

Long Feiye trusted his own mental strength to be enough to control its powers, but nobody had ever experienced its effects in history. Thus, he wasn’t sure what other side effects might occur. It was better to be prudent. There was still a month to go before the fifth day of the fifth month, which gave him abundant time to prepare. As long as his master could help him, there wouldn’t be any major problems. Thus, he had to verify his status and illness first. Meanwhile, Duanmu Yao had become his biggest problem despite being an afterthought in his mind.

Han Yunxi used to imagine how great it’d be if she knew martial arts too. Now she only sighed with emotion. “Long Feiye, how great would it be if you knew the poison arts! I should teach you!”

Long Feiye and Cang Qiuzi had already faced off at Lost Void Lake, but it wasn’t a one-on-one duel. Long Feiye had her poison needles launching support attacks while Cang Qiuzi had sneak attacked first, then went on to defend Duanmu Yao. Neither of them had fought more than a few rounds before a third party got involved, giving Cang Qiuzi the chance to slip away. It was hard to tell just how disparate their skills might be.

“Long Feiye, it’s impossible to greatly increase your fighting skills in such a short amount of time. But you can learn poisons! With that to assist you, Cang Qiuzi won’t be your match!” Han Yunxi said enthusiastically.

Long Feiye only knitted his brows at her and smiled. Immediately, Han Yunxi realized she’d suggested a stupid idea. Poison arts wouldn’t be accepted by Cloud Realm Continent’s mainstream society. Medical City was one notable case, having banned it altogether. Celestial Mountain Sword Sect was the most revered and respected sect of the martial arts circles and its righteous representative. If Long Feiye used poisons in the battlefield, the consequences would be unthinkable.

“The ranking matches only test swordsmanship,” Long Feiye stroked her hair gently as he spoke. Eventually, he pulled her into his arms with a doting smile. “Silly, you’ve turned foolish again!”

This happened whenever this woman was anxious. Indeed, Han Yunxi was all impatience. After all, those were “life and death” matches. Why wouldn’t she fret over something like that? She only hated the fact that she couldn’t help him at this critical point. Long Feiye had only taken her here to meet his master. He wasn’t planning to have her help him with anything.

“Don’t worry, it’s fine,” he comforted.

Han Yunxi couldn’t stop worrying at all. After thinking a bit, she said in a serious voice, “Long Feiye, only the sword sect master can help you now. He better not be suffering from his illness at a time like this!”

Before Long Feiye could speak, Han Yunxi was already babbling on. “Duanmu Yao should have returned to the peak by now, right? And the sword sect master dotes on her so much that…”

“Long Feiye, Duanmu Yao’s a real danger!” she cried, before rejecting her words. “No, that’s wrong! The sword sect master’s illness is what’s key here! Long Feiye, that’s the most variable component!”
