"He he he, young master look at this brat, he only know how to talk and don't had the ability to back it up" a man with bulging muscle said as he look in contempt to the young man on the ground.
"Jirou, don't bother with that weakling, you are just wasting your time with that." a young man holding a golden fan said in disdain. He look at the people watching and said, "Is there no one in this empire that has a little bit talent"
"You just came at the right time, I wanted to vent my anger on something" a cold voice sounded in the whole restaurant. Everyone subconsciously turn and saw a peerless beauty holding a golden sword.
The one who arrive was Bai Mei, behind her was her younger brother Bai Shen. Every steps she make cause the surrounding temperature to drop. Her frosty expression makes everyone felt a cold chill in their spine.
"Who would have thought that a beauty like you will appear in this rundown restaurant and a weak empire. Beauty why don't you accompany us in some drink, and if you do a good job we will take you with us away at this small empire." the man name Jirou said lascivious way, his eyes were crawling on Bai Mei's slender body as he lick his lips.
"Hhmp!" seeing the way the man look at her body, Bai Mei snorted coldly as her blue colored Qi erupted. The temperature inside drastically dropped as the surroundings began to froze. Jirou who felt the surrounding turn cold gets nervous, base on the blue Qi and the sword the woman in front of her has, she should be an Advance Fighter. He was only a Intermediate Fighter, if he fights this woman, the outcome will be instantly decided even before exchanging blows. He could only look at the man beside him for some help.
"Young Lady, I think there is a misunderstanding here" the man holding a fan steps forward, "My name is Fang Ying from the 'Divine Sand Empire', can I know young Lady's name?"
The faces of the people in the restaurant changes when they heard the name of the man and where he came from.
"Fang Ying? Divine Sand Empire? is he famous or something?" seeing the faces of shocked and surprise of the people in the restaurant. Bai Shen asked a man near to him, he tried to rack his memories but it seems the real owner doesn't know or even heard about that.
"Y-young Shen, Fang Ying is a cultivation genius from our neighboring empire, the Divine Sand Empire. His name was just suddenly spread when news of him defeating a Warrior while he was still a Advance Fighter. Because of that, the emperor of the Divine Sand Empire took a liking to him and give him the position as one of the 'Five Young Star' of their empire. Everyone thought that he was busy cultivating in the empire for the preparation of the upcoming tournament. But who would have thought that he will appear here." the man said. At first he was nervous talking to this number one trash, but as he continue he just forgets about it.
"Didn't expect that my name was known in this little empire." Fang Ying said proudly as he heard the conversation between Bai Shen and the man.
"Not that young lady knows who I am, will young lady give me her name." he said as he thought that this woman in front of him will definitely tell her name.
"Is that all you want to say? If you're finish already, then let me start this" Bai Mei's face remained cold as if she doesn't hear anything. The blue Qi around her turn wild and dance madly.
*swoosh*
Holding her golden sword, Bai Mei appeared behind Jirou shocking everyone even Fang Ying. Her golden sword was now covered in ice as the air around it freezes.
"Ice Art: Frozen Dance"
Bai Mei slash her sword down intending to cleave the lecherous man. Her eyes were full of killing intent as blue QI and ice covered he sword.
Jirou felt his entire body froze, all the hair in his body was already standing straight. He wanted to move to dodge or blocked the attack, but his body won't listen to him.
*shplort*
A severed arm flies in the air as it slowly gets frozen and hit the ground. Bai Mei immediately retreat beside her brother after her strike. She looked coldly at Fang Ying who have a grave expression on his face.
"Why did you interfere?" Bai Mei said in a icy-cold manner. When her sword was about to cut the lecherous man earlier, this man suddenly move diverting her attack.
"Young Lady what do you mean by that? Do you just want me to stand as you cut my friend here" Fang Ying retorted back coldly. His face was grim and his blue Qi was already surrounding him.
"Hhmp, I already vented some of my anger, Little Brother lets go" Bai Mei and Bai Shen walk pass the two man without even sparing them a glance.
"Just one piece of advice, young lady should be careful when dealing in matters. Because there are some people you can't hope to offend" Fang Ying said as he opens his fan. His face was cold as he felt he was humiliated.
The siblings just continue their walk as if they heard nothing. But inside Bai Shen's mind, he was already planning on how to make the two disappear permanently.
Later, the news of the fight was spread in the whole capital. The people were thrilled when they heard on how the young lady of the Bai family trash the arrogant man of the neighboring empire. As the news travel it became even more exaggerated. The officials in the palace were now discussing on what they should do about this incident. The relationship between the two empires were not great. The two was always in constant war against each other. They were only stopped for now because of the upcoming tournament.
--------------------
When Bai Shen and her sister arrive at their mansion, they were called by their father in the study room.
*knock*
*knock*
"Come in" Bai Chen said as he put down a paper he was holding.
""Father"" Bai Shen and Bai Mei enters the room and greet their father. The two of the then sit on a chair beside the desk.
"The reason I called the two of you here was because a message from the emperor was delivered. They said that the day after tomorrow the palace will hold a banquet, every noble in the capital was invited with their sons and daughters. The reason for the banquet was because the emperor will announce who the eldest princess chose as her fiancee" their father said as he look at his children.
"Father can i not go at the banquet?" when Bai Shen heard that it has something to do with that arrogant princess he met. His interest instantly disappear as he don't want anything to do with that princess.
"No you MUST go, especially YOU!" his father firmly reply.
When Bai Mei heard her father said that, she doesn't know why, but she had a bad feeling about this banquet. She felt that she will lose 'something' important on the banquet.
