When he turned back to look at the origin of the voice he felt his hands being taken by smooth and small hands.

"It's really you Xiao San! What are you doing here? Have you finally decided to come out of your house?"

Before he could say anything he was already bombarded with questions by the girl who was holding his hands.

He could also hear the happiness in her voice as she kept questioning him.

She then continued speaking.

"Wow! Look at you right now! Even your sister here almost didn't recognize you. You have finally got ridden of that gloomy face of yours."

Yue Yang smiled before saying,

"I too am happy to see you, sister Yu. How are you doing?"

Hearing him replying Yue Yu became surprised and happy. It was the first time that she saw him smile and call her sister Yu after so many years.

After his parents died he became gloomy and quiet. Sometimes she tried to speak to him but he only replied with nods or little words so she was surprised and also happy that he finally has come out of his shell.

"Sister Yu, do you know him?"

Said a voice behind her. She then looked at the owner of the voice and began to introduce Yue Yang to her.

"Qian Qian, this is our family's Xiao San! Normally, he's cooped up in his house and never walks out of the door. I didn't think that I'd be able to meet him today… Xiao San, this is Princess Qian Qian."

When Princess Qian Qian heard her she became surprised as she looked at Yue Yang strangely. She then looked at Yue Yu and asked in disbelief.

"You sure it's him? From the rumors, I heard things don't add up."

Before Yue Yu could say something they both heard Yue Yang sigh and his words.

"Sigh. People believe too much in rumors. I didn't think that now even princesses believe in what the peasants say." He finished with another sigh as if he was really upset.

Princess Qian Qian hearing him became surprised and enraged. She looked at him and angrily asked.

"What did you just said?"

Yue Yu, on the other hand, placed herself immediately in front of Princess Qian Qian after she heard Yue Yang words.

Knowing Princess Qian Qian temperament after hearing what he said she would surely become enraged so she put herself in front of her and then looked at Yue Yang and began reprimanding him.

"Xiao San don't be rude to Princess Qian Qian. Apologize immediately."

Yue Yang, on the other hand, smiled before saying,

"I'm not being rude at her at all. That was a mere statement and I never mentioned her name. I merely said, princesses. Her being enraged only means that she is identifying herself as one of them."

Hearing him Yue Yu became speechless as what he said was true and logical. If she wasn't the one that was insulted or acquainted with them she will not be enraged at all.

Princess Qian Qian, on the other hand, became more enraged as she saw how he turned her friend against her with his words.

She immediately took her greatsword and pointed it to you, Yue Yang, then she challenged him.

"You dare to dirty my name? I challenge you to a duel."

Hearing her words Yue Yu become surprised before she began persuading her,

"Qian Qian don't! He only recently left home and since he was antisocial he doesn't know what he's saying. Let him off this time."

She continued to persuade her but Princess Qian Qian gaze was only fixed on Yue Yang this entire time.

Although it really seemed like she was enraged she wasn't at all. She wasn't someone so petty to challenge someone else over something like that. She was merely using that to challenge him. Even if he didn't say anything she would have challenged him. She was just using anger as an excuse.

The reason she wanted to challenge him was that it was her first time seeing someone who had cultivated physically to the extent that she could feel some treat from him.

She wanted to know how strong this man in front of her was for her to feel danger from his body without him having any ill intent toward her.

Yue Yang who was challenged continued to smile as he looked at Princess Qian Qian. He then said,

"What are the benefits for me to accept this duel? And if I win what will I gain? Time is money after all. If you want to have my time you should of course pay for it."

Yue Yu who was going to persuade her cousin to not accept the duel after falling with the princess became worried. It looks like like she couldn't stop them anymore.

It was normal for her to worry only about Yue Yang. After all, she knew how powerful Princess Qian Qian was. On the other hand, she thought that Yue Yang couldn't do anything to her.

Her thoughts didn't contain any disdain at all. It was merely logic to her.

Princess Qian Qian who heard him only became happy she then looked at him and said,

"State what you want for accepting the duel. As for the rewards for defeating me, you should only be thinking about that when you win."

The last sentence was said with confidence and she even released an Imperial aura.

Yue Yang smiled at her then bowed before saying,

"As expected from a princess! Your aura is truly above the mass. For accepting this duel I merely want two new weapons similar to this one but of course more powerful."

Princess Qian Qian looked at him and asked,

"How more powerful do you want them?"

"Since Princess was so gentle to ask me I'll kindly lower my demand and only ask for two mere gold ranked weapons with one having an affinity with Yang type elements while the other with Yin type elements. The more elements affinity they had the happier and thankful will this peasant be to you, my princess."
