This balcony was spacious but it had no railings. They were mostly rank 5 or 6 Body Termpering practioners, the best of Chae family.
"You go find that girl, she's gone down!" commanded one rank 7 practitioner. The moment they figured out I was with her, they had turned hostile.
I was getting pushed back. There seemed to be around 10 to 11 of them. Dou family practioners were attacking them from behind, trying to make way for their young master. As Dou family had joined Lin family, fight erupted here as well. That made things a little bit easier for me.
My loose black robes flowed accordingly as I employed various sophisticated moves to fend off the attacks. I didn't have much practice in using a folding fan. Still, my fanning techniques looked elegant in the eyes of unskilled men.
