Yuehan looked away, her full rosy lips pressed into a thin line.
Qingyi had heard about ninety percent of what Yuehan, Ruxue, and Huoyue had discussed after she was rescued. Sometimes, that conversation had strayed into details that were… well, a little inappropriate.
Yuehan clenched her teeth, the tips of her ears growing hot. Just remembering it was embarrassing enough.
She pushed the thought aside and drew her blade.
Flames followed the movement.
A blade similar to Ruxue's—but reddish silver, covered in flaming patterns—slid from its sheath with a metallic whisper.
Qingyi drew the Heaven-Defying Thunder Sword in turn.
A sharp crackle of electricity ran along the blade the moment it touched the open air.
"Have you ever heard of Sword Resonance?" Yuehan asked, taking a slow, deep breath to focus her mind, her chest rising with it.
She was here to train with Qingyi and test his strength. That was all... right?
"A little, but I don't know much about it," Qingyi replied.
