When he came to the Sword Testing Platform, Zhong Ming had originally planned to stay for only a short while before returning to Longxi Peak to cultivate.
But thanks to Senior Brother Qi Hong and several of his peers, Zhong Ming ended up training there for an entire day.
By the time his training was over, he was so exhausted that several of his senior brothers had to help him to the Sword Testing Platform.
At this moment, Orchid still hadn't left.
Orchid raised an eyebrow when she saw Zhong Ming with Qi Hong and his group, noticing how attentive and approving they were of him.
Ultimately, however, she said nothing. Instead, she stepped forward to take over for them.
"Senior Brothers, please leave Young Master Zhong Ming to me."
At her words, Qi Hong and Shi Yun sized her up.
They saw that she had the demeanor of a handmaiden and was very respectful toward Zhong Ming, but... they were still not at ease.
