"Steward Xu, are you saying that our Prefectural Lord has cultivated for only twenty years?"
Disbelief was written all over Kong Zhiqiu's face.
How was that possible?!
"Precisely."
Seeing her reaction, Xu Guanlan could not help feeling surprised.
"Did you not know, Miss Kong?"
"...No."
Kong Zhiqiu answered instinctively.
She truly had not known.
When Ye Li first arrived at the Seaside Residence, the cultivation he displayed had already reached the late Sea-Illuminating Realm.
Not long afterward,
he had advanced all the way to the peak of the Sea-Illuminating Realm.
Kong Zhiqiu had simply assumed he had a way of preserving his youthful appearance, and that his actual cultivation age was far greater than he looked.
Even when Ye Li himself had said he was not very old, she had never taken "not very old" to mean twenty...
Who would ever interpret it as that age, anyway?!
At twenty, he had reached the peak of the Sea-Illuminating Realm.
And he could kill the Wang Family's Mystic Master and crush the Kong Family's main lineage.
Such things lay completely outside Kong Zhiqiu's understanding.
"He's actually... only twenty..."
She murmured under her breath.
For a moment, her mind could barely function.
Seeing this, Qin Baiyi could not help leaning closer to Pei You'an.
"She's really shocked."
Pei You'an laughed despite herself.
"Of course she is."
"Even the Yin-Yang Sect's three Fortune-Mastery True Cultivators rushed to fight over him when they found out. How could she not be shocked?"
"Three True Cultivators?!"
Kong Zhiqiu snapped to attention.
By now, she could no longer worry about losing her composure.
She had yet to recover from the shock of Xu Guanlan's words, and now Pei You'an was telling her that Ye Li had prompted three True Cultivators to fight over him during the Yin-Yang Dao
