Li Lianhua plucked at the sliver of silver wire in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed as he slowly said, "Lady Fenglai, I have heard that the Ghost Market Master possesses extraordinary martial arts. Although the Master has never sought fame or deigned to enter the Jianghu Registry of Ten Thousand, I would wager that under no circumstances should the Ghost Market Master's martial arts be so easily overcome by Young Master Nangong."
"But I saw it with my own eyes—" Ning Xuanyang was about to interject when Li Lianhua timely cast a gentle gaze his way. Ning Xuanyang immediately changed his tune. "Ahem... Nangong Qing's martial arts are merely second-rate. To say he has the ability to kill the Ghost Market Master is indeed rather fishy."
Fenglai's expression turned icy. She seemed to hesitate for a moment before speaking, "Had the Master not been ambushed a few days ago and sustained severe internal injuries, it naturally would have been impossible for trash like Nangong Qing to kill the Master."
