Ye Fei could sense the jealousy in Song Ci's tone, but he didn't point it out. Instead, he asked more seriously, "Never mind that. Just answer my question!"
He was feeling cautious because, in that woman named Jingwen, he had detected the flow of internal energy. Her cultivation was incredibly high, reaching the late Xiantian stage—not far from the Mahayana level.
A woman of such strength, who could be considered a master even in the hidden world, didn't seem like someone who needed the protection of a somewhat playful gang.
Though Song Ci usually enjoyed messing around with Ye Fei and sometimes even looked down on him, she still felt a bit intimidated when he was serious.
