The sensation of having the point of a sword pressed against the neck came quickly and left just as swiftly.
From the emergence of this feeling to the moment sweat soaked through Zong Yuan's back, only a few breaths had passed.
"Cousin?"
Zong Fei noticed Zong Yuan's abnormality and called out softly.
"Ah?! Oh!"
With that, Zong Yuan snapped back to reality, "Sorry, I was lost in thought just now."
As he spoke, he hurriedly released his grip.
Even then, he did not consider why, with his Qi Refinement second layer strength and having exerted some force, Ye Xiao, this "ordinary person," still remained unfazed, his breathing unchanged...
"It's nothing."
Ye Xiao smiled faintly, not minding at all.
Standing behind him, the two girls found Zong Yuan's behavior odd.
His panic just now was like that of a mouse seeing a cat, his face turned white in an instant.
