The figure in the long robe appeared abruptly, without any sound, and looked like a ghost under the moonlight.
Upon seeing the figure, Senior Brother Ding broke out in a cold sweat and immediately shielded Junior Sister Yi behind him.
Junior Sister Yi didn't seem to understand what was happening and shyly asked, "Senior Brother... what... what are you doing?"
Senior Brother Ding didn't answer her but tightly held Junior Sister Yi behind him with his right arm and sternly asked, "Who are you? How dare you sneak into our Shixin Peak at night?"
A low, hoarse voice replied, "Are you Ding Chao?"
"Indeed, I am. May I know who you are?" Senior Brother Ding remained calm.
The dark figure still seemed unconvinced: "Are you the Ding Chao from the Three Talents of Misty?"
"I am. Within the Misty Hall of Shixin Peak, there is only one person named Ding Chao. No one else shares this name!" Ding Chao replied proudly.
"Good, since you are Ding Chao, that makes things easier!"
