"You seem to know quite a bit, even about innate-level martial artists," Shui Ying said, looking at Ye Fei with a hint of confusion. "So, you must be a martial artist too. But why can't I sense any true energy fluctuations from you?"
"My situation is a bit unique," Ye Fei replied vaguely. He didn't want to hide anything from this increasingly likable beauty, but his circumstances were far too complex to explain in a few words. Moreover, revealing his true strength might come as a shock to her, so he quickly changed the subject. "Let's talk about why you haven't tried to escape."
Shui Ying didn't think much of it and assumed Ye Fei practiced external martial arts. She inwardly felt a bit sorry for him because without the nourishment of inner strength, no matter how formidable external martial arts might be, they were still considered inferior. However, being kind-hearted, she didn't want to disappoint Ye Fei and let the topic drop with a wry smile.
