In the supermarket, Pan Tingting looked at a text message on her phone and couldn’t help but shiver slightly.
He... he found out? I can’t believe he actually discovered it! But how is that possible?
Pan Tingting’s heart trembled, and suddenly, the scenes from last night with Zhu Fei flashed through her mind one by one.
Could it be that when I was unconscious last night... Zhu Fei already...?
As soon as she thought of this possibility, Pan Tingting’s pretty face couldn’t help but turn slightly pale.
She knew that if things were really as she was now imagining, didn’t that mean... most of her secrets were already known to Zhu Fei?
She had been hiding them from him at the time, and it turned out that he knew everything all along.
However, looking at Zhu Fei’s current demeanor, he didn’t seem to look down on her at all. Moreover, he said he would help her lift the prohibition on her body. It seemed that all her previous worries had been unnecessary.
Wait, lift the prohibition? Zhu Fei knows about prohibitions too? What secrets does this guy have? He even knows such techniques?
As Pan Tingting pondered, her once slightly pale face gradually took on a smile mixed with a bit of indignation.
After all, she now knew all her own secrets, but she still didn’t have a clue about Zhu Fei’s secrets. This was really too unfair.
"Tingting, Tingting, what’s wrong with you? Are you okay?"
Just then, Tang Mengyun, who had come to the same supermarket to shop with Pan Tingting, suddenly shook Pan Tingting’s arm and asked with concern.
Pan Tingting’s behavior was just too abnormal.
Anxious one moment, smiling the next, then clenching her teeth in anger—the scene utterly confused Tang Mengyun.
If someone who didn’t know Pan Tingting saw her, they might even think she was exhibiting symptoms of schizophrenia.
"Oh, Mengyun, no, nothing is wrong. I was just a bit absorbed in thought just now. Don’t mind me, haha."
Pan Tingting herself also broke out in a cold sweat, as she had momentarily forgotten the circumstance she was in due to Zhu Fei’s message.
Seeing Pan Tingting’s response, Tang Mengyun didn’t think much further.
After tossing a few potatoes into the shopping basket, she looked back at Pan Tingting with a worried expression and said:
"Tingting, do you think Zhu Fei really won’t be in trouble? I remember he made Yan Chong vomit blood before. And after this incident, how will he be able to go back to school and attend classes?"
Hearing Tang Mengyun’s question, Pan Tingting also tensed up slightly.
Right, Zhu Fei has now offended the Saint Heir of the Blood Evil Sect, and I’ve heard through certain channels that the Yan Chong is actually the son of the Sect Hierarch.
But this is a great secret, and so far, no one has been able to confirm what exactly the relationship is between that Yan Chong and the Sect Hierarch.
Pan Tingting worried inwardly, but outwardly, she still maintained a relaxed appearance, smiling at Tang Mengyun:
"Mengyun, just relax. Since Zhu Fei said there would be no issues, then there shouldn’t be any."
"Besides, that Yan Chong is also from the Ancient Martial World, even if Zhu Fei had killed him at that time, our Mortal laws wouldn’t govern the conflicts between Martial Artists."
"Killed... killing...?"
Tang Mengyun suddenly gasped, looking somewhat dumbfounded.
She could never have imagined that she would actually hear such shocking news from Pan Tingting’s mouth.
This... This is just too cruel, isn’t it? How terrifying.
Then she saw Tang Mengyun suddenly swallow hard and couldn’t help but ask again, "Tingting, the things you just mentioned... are they all true?"
"Could it be that there is no law in the Ancient Martial World? And Tingting, how do you know so much about the Ancient Martial World? Could it be that you’re one of them? How come I’ve never heard you mention this before?"
Tang Mengyun’s barrage of questions suddenly made Pan Tingting feel a bit dizzy.
But after some deep thought, she ultimately decided that she should discuss the matters of the Ancient Martial World with Tang Mengyun in more detail.
After all, whether it was herself or Zhu Fei, they were both in the circle of the Ancient Martial World.
And now that Tang Mengyun was their friend, it was inevitable that one day she too might get caught up in the affairs of this circle.
Moreover, regarding the matter with Yan Chong, Tang Mengyun had already been dragged into it.
Pan Tingting and Zhu Fei’s thoughts were slightly different.
Zhu Fei was used to seeing killing and blood, whether in his past or current life, since he had always been in the world of cultivation.
For a girl as pure as a white lily like Tang Mengyun, he naturally felt more affection and subconsciously didn’t want her to be tainted by this dark world.
But Pan Tingting was the exact opposite of Zhu Fei.
After the previous events with Yan Chong, she had become deeply aware.
If they continued to keep Tang Mengyun in the dark about the matters of the Ancient Martial World, letting her know nothing about the world of martial artists, then perhaps one day Tang Mengyun would suffer because of it.
After all, the Mortal World and the Ancient Martial World were fundamentally very different.
If Tang Mengyun always viewed the people she might encounter from the Ancient Martial World through the lens of the Mortal World, then unless she completely cut ties with herself and Zhu Fei in the future, her fate would definitely be very tragic.
Pan Tingting had already experienced these events, so she had a very clear understanding of the situation.
In that moment, Pan Tingting nodded to Tang Mengyun and then said with a somewhat serious tone,
"Mengyun, I didn’t tell you about these things before because I didn’t think that you would have any contact with the Ancient Martial World."
"But now, the situation seems to have changed. You were right just now; the Ancient Martial World indeed has no laws to speak of. To put it simply, might makes right in that world."
She paused slightly, then heard Pan Tingting continue, "Including murder, there won’t be anyone to hold you accountable, so, Mengyun, if you encounter such people in the future, don’t look at them through the perspective of our current world."
"Then... Then Tingting, what about you and Zhu Fei now...?"
Tang Mengyun’s pretty face turned slightly pale, and with a trembling voice, she looked at Pan Tingting and asked.
Even though she already had a definite answer in her heart about the identities of her two friends, Zhu Fei and Pan Tingting, she couldn’t help but ask again.
"Yes, Mengyun, Zhu Fei and I can be considered part of the Ancient Martial World, I guess?"
Pan Tingting nodded and continued, "But you don’t need to worry too much. Zhu Fei is very strong, so he should be quite safe."
While the two women were talking, they had arrived at the supermarket checkout counter. After Pan Tingting paid, she directly led Tang Mengyun back in the direction of Haihua District.
