Qiao Ruohe did not want to wait any longer. He took his Younger Sister and attempted to force his way through, but the Five Elements dictate that water overcomes fire. Furthermore, because he had to protect his Younger Sister, he could not unleash his full Spells, and he was defeated within five rounds.
However, in the midst of their skirmish, Qiao Ruohe was surprised to discover that this Fish Demon actually possessed a protective heart toward his Younger Sister; she did not harbor any murderous intent toward him, either. Compared to the murderous aura he had sensed when they first met, the knowledge of the siblings’ story had stirred a spark of kindness within her.
Qiao Ruohe ceased his attack. He knew that even if he could not gauge the true level of her cultivation, the elemental restraint between their techniques meant he could not bypass her to reach the Ice Dragon waterfall at the summit. He tried to reason with her kindly, but no matter what he said, she refused to let him pass.
