"Ah, no. I've only arrived here a few days ago, and since I was fortunate enough in the past to meet Elder Lei during a chance encounter, he had allowed me to stay with him for a while," Yi Chen explained.
"So that's how it is. Brother Chen must be talented to be able to catch the Ninth Elder's attention," Feng Ning said in a probing manner.
"Haha, Miss Ning thinks too highly of me. Since I started cultivation late, I'm only at the First Level of Meridian Refinement," Yi Chen stated while feigning embarrassment.
'Only at the First Level?' Feng Ning couldn't help but frown when she heard this.
'No, I shouldn't judge immediately. There must be more to him if the Ninth Elder took interest in him…'
She was well aware of the Ninth Elder's reputation.
"That's a pity," Feng Ning responded the next moment after a pursed smile and said, "If Brother Chen were at least at the Third Level of Meridian Refinement, then he would be of great help to the clan in the coming tournament."
