At that moment, it was too late to think back. The door swung open, and the young girl stepped inside first. Wang Chao had no choice but to follow her in. When Yuan Min entered as well, two members of the Black Clothes Society outside closed the wooden door behind them. Wang Chao looked around and saw that this was a large private room. Unlike the dimness outside, it was brightly lit and warm inside, completely shielding them from the chill of early winter.
A long dining table was set with some snacks and a bottle of chilled red wine. Opposite the room was a huge one-way glass window, through which they could clearly see the situation in the hall and the matches taking place in the Arena. Two people were seated at the table, both women; one had graying hair and appeared to be elderly. However, since they were facing away from Wang Chao, he couldn't discern their features.
"Grandma! Mommy!" The girl exclaimed as she removed her mask and tossed it onto the table, bouncing into their embrace. In that instant, Wang Chao got a clear look at her: her skin was fair and delicate, her neck long and clean, her teeth white and even, with fine, arched eyebrows framing a charming smile that revealed dimples. Her bright eyes sparkled with intelligence. Despite her young age, she had already reached the lower levels of Platinum. As the saying goes, "The spring breeze on the road to Yangzhou is not as good as rolling up the pearl curtains."
"You little girl, how old are you now? You should learn to be more composed! When we grow old, we will still rely on you!" The girl's mother feigned anger.
The girl laughed and replied, "No way! Mommy and Grandma are still very young! By the way, guess who I brought back!"
As she spoke, both women turned their heads. One of them had a kind expression with a face full of wrinkles and looked to be in her seventies or eighties. The other woman appeared much younger; being the girl's mother, she should be around forty but still radiated vitality. Her eyes were particularly captivating and exuded an irresistible allure. What shocked Wang Chao even more was that this middle-aged woman was at Diamond level.
Both women turned to look at Wang Chao, but they wore masks that obscured their features. From their outward appearance alone, he couldn't discern anything unusual. However, when they noticed the ring on his hand, he clearly saw their expressions change—first shock followed by indifference. Wang Chao realized that they recognized his ring; it was evidently a pair with the one worn by the girl he had seen earlier.
Wang Chao finally understood what the swirling patterns on the Zhang Family Ring represented; they matched the design of the girl's ring! If her ring could fit inside his, then she must have considered herself as Zhang Fusheng! No wonder she seemed to know him along the way. But who did this ring from the Zhang Family correspond with?
Could it be from Ai Family of the Seven Great Families?
The middle-aged woman looked at Wang Chao for a moment before smiling and throwing him a flirtatious glance. Just as he was trying to decipher her intentions, she suddenly moved. Wearing red high heels, she stepped directly onto the dining table and charged toward Wang Chao with impressive speed—truly befitting someone at Diamond level. Wang Chao raised his hand to block her attack; upon impact, both felt as if their arms had struck steel.
"Not bad!" she said with a grin. "You've got some skills! Let's see how many moves you can take from me!"
As she spoke, she launched another attack at him—each strike faster and stronger than the last. Fortunately, since this private room was quite spacious, they could maneuver without hindrance. At first, those watching could still see their movements clearly; however, soon enough, the three people in that room could no longer keep up with their speed.
But what troubled Wang Chao was that the woman in the qipao had a slit that reached above her thigh. When she kicked at him, he could see a glimpse of what lay beneath, leaving him feeling quite helpless. He dodged her attack once more, only to notice a significant change in her aura. Wang Chao furrowed his brow; this sudden shift in momentum was all too familiar to him—it was the hallmark of activating the Breathing Technique!
To his surprise, this woman also practiced the Breathing Technique! She was already at a diamond level, nearly on par with Wang Chao, and now her strength had surged dramatically. In an instant, Wang Chao activated his own Breathing Technique as well. When their palms clashed, both were propelled back by the immense force, stumbling several steps before finally regaining their balance.
Simultaneously, they exclaimed, "Breathing Technique? Who are you?"
Meanwhile, outside, the Black Clothes Society members heard the commotion but hesitated to rush in. Instead, they called out from the doorway, "Do you need help? What's happening in there?"
"Everything's fine!" The woman adjusted her qipao and shouted back at the door. "Continue your watch!"
"Understood!" replied the Black Clothes Society member.
At that moment, a young girl asked curiously, "Mom, Brother, what are you doing? Why did you start fighting as soon as you met?"
"He's not your brother Zhang Fusheng. Now tell me, who exactly are you?" The woman sat down again, frowning slightly as she leaned over the table and slowly asked, "Why do you have the ancestral ring of the Zhang Family? How do you know the Zhang Family's secret technique, Breathing Technique? Where is Zhang Fusheng now?"
A barrage of questions came forth. Wang Chao took his time to respond; he also sat down on the opposite side of the table. Slowly removing his mask, he said, "You're right about that. But since I'm wearing a mask, how did you figure out I'm not Zhang Fusheng? I have a question for you too—who are you?"
The young girl seemed to realize something shocking and pointed at Wang Chao. "You’re not my Brother Fu Sheng! Who are you? Give me back my Black Card! Hand it over!"
Wang Chao sighed in resignation and pulled out the Black Card, placing it on the table. "Alright, I’ll return your Black Card. But when adults are talking, children shouldn’t interrupt!"
"How arrogant!" the girl retorted. "Be careful or I'll have my mom flatten you!"
“Kun, you go sit with Grandma for a moment. I have something to discuss with this brother,” the woman said with a slight smile, turning to the girl.
The girl made a face at Wang Chao and quietly sat down beside them.
At that moment, the woman continued, “You’ve heard of the word ‘Ai,’ right?”
