Enemies Cross Paths in the Square

Fei

...

Serpang

...We won.

Serpang

We won! We beat Senior Sister Fei for the first time!

Serpang

Ehehe! Now Senior Sister Lyn and Senior Sister Fei won't have to fight, right?

Serpang

Nice work, Toto!

Toto

Coo!

Fei

Indeed. Well done.

Serpang

Huh?!

Toto

Coo?!

Fei

Letting your guard down just because you thought I'd fallen? You still have a long way to go.

Serpang

You were pretending to be knocked out...? Th-that's cheating!

Toto

Coo!

Fei

I believe I've told you before to never drop your guard.

Fei

Did Lyn come with you? Where is she?

Serpang

You think Toto and I would tell you?!

Serpang

Even if you bought us limited-time desserts from Cafe Strega, my resolve... might waver, but!

Serpang

No way!

Serpang

I will never tell you!

Toto

Coooo!

Fei

Is that so? Then it seems I have no choice...

Wait.

You can't just pick on them like that.

Fei

Hah! If that's how you see it, perhaps it is one-sided.

Fei

But don't worry. I'm not going to hurt them.

Fei

Serpang and Toto, brace yourselves!

Serpang

...Nngh!

Toto

...Coo!

Serpang

Ehehe! Ehehehe!

Toto

Coo! Coooo!

Serpang

Stop...! Ehehe! Stop!

Serpang

Stop tickling me! Ehehehe!

Fei

Haha! Still ticklish as ever, I see.

...Well, it is a peaceful method.

Fei

Still not going to talk? Tickle tickle!

Fei

Hmm?! From behind the wall...?

Ultimate Art.

White Dragon Emergence.

A shockwave tore through the air, sweeping across where Fei had just been standing.

Serpang

Eek?!

Toto

Cooo?!

?!

???

...You dodged it?

???

You're quick on your feet. I'll give you that much.

Fei

Close, but not quite.

Fei

Attacking from the shadows, without even showing your face... How rude.

Fei

Who are you? Reveal yourself.

Tien

I am Tien.

Tien

Fei. You aren't worthy of hearing my name.

Didn't you just say it was Tien, though?

Tien

...

Fei

...Come to think of it.

Tien

...White Dragon Emergence!

Fei

Tch!

She's trying to pretend that didn't happen...!

Fei

Impressive technique. But you're too predictable.

Fei

If I close the distance...!

Ultimate Art, White Dragon Ascension.

Fei

Kgh?!

A fierce gust of wind struck Fei as she rushed forward.

Xien

...My apologies, Tien. I arrived late.

Tien

No. You came right on time, Xien.

Fei

...So the older one engages up close while the younger one supports from afar? Simple, but effective teamwork.

Fei

But why come after me? I haven't the faintest idea...

Tien

...Hmph!

Xien

...You really don't remember?

Fei

Is it because I took makgeolli bread without paying?

Tien

No!

Fei

Or is it because I interrupted you while you were sparring with someone else?

Xien

Fufu. No.

Fei

Maybe you picked a fight with me because I looked strong? Or maybe I broke the sect's signboard? Well...

Should you really have that many things coming to mind...?

Tien

...You really don't remember at all.

Fei

Or... I've got it!

Fei

I must've refused your request for guidance but brushed you off! My apologies! I must have been busy!

Fei

But I have time now! If you wish to learn the Celestial Art, I can explain it for a day... no, a full week!

Tien

That's not it either!

Fei

...You'll blow out my eardrums if you keep shouting like that. You're so full of anger.

Fei

Perhaps it's because you have no partner to carry on your lineage? Even so, taking your frustration out on others is not right.

Tien

That's none of your business!

Xien

Indeed. Tien has devoted everything to martial arts.

Xien

I know that she will preserve her chastity until the day she dies.

Tien

H-huh? No, that's not—

Fei

...Impressive.

Fei

A flawless mindset for a martial artist. I respect you for it.

Xien

Thank you for the compliment.

Tien

Wait, Xien. Why are you the one thanking her...?

Xien

Still, praise is one thing and business is another.

Xien

Fei. You left deep scars upon us.

Xien

Until we settle that grudge...

Tien

We can't let you leave.

Tien

And don't even think about surrendering. We'll never forgive you.

Fei

Hah! You're dancing around the point, but isn't this really very simple?

Fei

You're asking me to take you all down!

The moment Fei kicked off the ground to charge them...

Tien

...Hmph!

Xien

If you can, that is.

Fei

Kgh?!

Long weapons rained down from behind the wall, forcing Fei to step back.

Moments later, countless people emerged from the alleys with weapons in hand.

Martial Artist A

Over here! She's here!

Martial Artist B

Our enemy, Fei, is here!

Fei

...Hah.

Fei

So the two of you weren't the only ones.

Tien

I told you. We came to settle our grudges.

Xien

Did you think we were the only ones that held resentment toward you?

Tien

Go ahead.

Xien

Take us all down... if you can.
