Feng Jiu couldn’t help but rub her forehead. “What happened later? What about that beautiful woman in red? Did someone save her?”

“When I saw her, she was being chased by several evil cultivators. She was injured so badly that she looked like she was going to fall. I was still thinking that if she fell, I would pull her back to the cave. Who knew that just as she was about to collapse, a man in white appeared to save her.”

“A man in white?” Feng Jiu was stunned.

“Yes, it was a human male in white with a stony face. I didn’t dare get close because the energy breath all over his body was intimidating. I overheard the evil cultivators yelling ‘the Insouciant Sword Master’. The man in white then proceeded to kill them.

As it told this story, the tiger’s neck shrank. “At that exact moment, the man saw me and glanced at me. I realised he was dangerous and ran away.”

“The Insouciant Sword Master?”

“Isn’t he the Insouciant Sect’s sect master?” Wanyan Shisan exclaimed in surprise. “This man is said to be as slippery as an eel. He’s either cultivating in seclusion or disappearing from plain view. How did he get to the forest and even save Qianhua?”

“He’s the Sect Master of the Insouciant Sect? Isn’t he an elderly man?” Feng Jiu asked.

“The Insouciant Sword Master’s exact age is unknown, but he is almost certainly well over a hundred years old. The man’s strength is unfathomable, and he rarely appears. Even I only saw him from afar many years ago at a convention.”

Wanyan Shisan exhaled a sigh of relief. “Don’t worry if she was rescued by the Insouciant Sword Master. It’s alright. The Insouciant Sword Master is an honourable person. Qianhua will be safe with him.”

“That’s great.” Feng Jiu said, rubbing the tiger’s head. “You should have told us earlier, so we wouldn’t have to worry,”

While they talked in their seats in the audience, the competition on stage continued and entered its final stages. The two saw a stunning woman in her thirties step forward and address all the guests. “Distinguished guests, you have enjoyed the contestants’ talent performances. Next is the beauty contest. Not only are there the beauties from our pavilion today but also the daughters of influential and noble families. Who will be this year’s first beauty? Let’s just wait and see!”

As soon as her voice faded, she extended her hand and clapped three times. The beaded curtain that encircled the round stage was then rolled up. Finally, twelve women took turns standing on the stage, still wearing face veils and holding the musical instruments from the previous competition. Some were dressed extravagantly, others were dressed simply but elegantly, and a few were dressed…

“Eh? Why is a woman dressed like that standing on the stage?”

Everyone looked at the last woman, who wore a ragged dress and covered her face with a scrap of cloth. At that moment, everyone felt dissatisfied.

They were looking forward to seeing beautiful women. How did a woman who looked like a beggar get there? Not just that, she was selected as one of the top 12 finalists!

The other women on stage either disliked or avoided the woman, keeping their distance from her. However, the woman stood quietly with a guqin in her arms, unfazed, as if the person they were discussing was not her.

“This woman radiates a noble air from her body.” Feng Jiu chuckled as her gaze was drawn to the woman.
