"Old man, who are you? Why are you blocking our path?"
Gai Shi asked, clearly displeased.
Jiang Chen raised a hand to stop him, his voice low. "Careful. This man is formidable."
Standing to the side, Tuoba Yan's expression was grim. With a bitter look, he said, "Jiang Chen, that's Qin Fu, the third steward of the Qin Family. He's an expert at Domain Third Refinement. He must be here for Ruyue. You… you all should go. Ruyue and I will go with him."
Ruyue squeezed Tuoba Yan's hand, her voice firm. "As long as I can be with Brother Tuoba, I'm not afraid, even if it means death!"
"Stop acting like this is our final goodbye!"
Jiang Chen glanced at the pair and chuckled. "A mere Domain Third Refinement? He's nothing to me!"
"…"
Ruyue and Tuoba Yan's eyes went wide, their faces a picture of disbelief.
'Mere?'
'Domain Third Refinement?'
'Nothing to him?'
'Brother, this is an expert of the Domain Third Refinement! Do you… do you think you're some kind of peerless prodigy?'
