"Senior Sister! Why did you suddenly call us over?" Straightforward by nature, Wu Ming asked directly.
Zhang Lexuan coughed softly and smiled.
"Nothing serious. A junior from the Outer Court wants to get familiar with the pace of combat in the Inner Court ahead of time. He specifically asked for you two to spar with him."
"A junior from the Outer Court?" Wu Ming raised an eyebrow, her flame-like hair stirring without a breeze as she spoke excitedly.
"He's got some nerve, challenging both of us outright."
Han Ruoruo smiled gently, her voice as soft as spring water.
"Since you've asked, Senior Sister, we naturally have no reason to refuse. It's just... which junior could persuade you to come forward personally?"
In her eyes, this junior was simply young and hotheaded. She intended to knock his arrogance down a peg later.
Zhang Lexuan stepped aside, clearing the doorway. "Come in, Tian Chen."
The door swung open, and the boy walked in slowly.
The moment Wu Ming saw Tian Chen, she exclaimed, "It's you!"
"Senior Sister Wu Ming! Long time no see!"
He nodded to Wu Ming in greeting. When his gaze landed on Han Ruoruo, he paused briefly before offering a polite smile.
Damn! She's gorgeous! She's every bit as beautiful as Dong'er and the others. What on earth made her choose Wang Yan in the original story?
Especially since she was older, everything about her was bigger!
Above all, her full curves and tall figure, outlined by her pale blue-green dress, were both gentle and breathtaking.
Tian Chen immediately withdrew his gaze, but Han Ruoruo still keenly caught that momentary pause.
The faintest hint of amusement flitted through her eyes, like barely visible ripples on a lake, before her gentle composure returned.
"Little junior, have you looked your fill?"
