Huang Rongrong's words shocked everyone present; the people in the hall were left dumbfounded, and Ye Wen remained open-mouthed for a moment before finally uttering, "There's no need for all this…"

But that was all he said. In truth, Ye Wen didn't know what else to say. To say too much might suggest that the supreme techniques of the Shu Shan Sect were cheap, available to anyone who wished to learn them; to say too little would be ineffective, so it was better to just stop at one sentence.

"I know that martial arts inheritance is highly valued in the Jianghu sects. If Sect Leader Ye can help me achieve the great vengeance I seek," Huang Rongrong declared, her head held high, devoid of her usual mischievous spirit. Her eyes held a look of resolution and determination. Ye Wen knew further persuasion would be useless, so he simply agreed.

"Have Junior Brother Xu teach you the skills then…"

Ye Wen set the tone with this single sentence. By the time Huang Rongrong had mastered the martial arts, her state of mind would likely have broadened considerably, and she probably wouldn't speak of cutting off fingers or tongues anymore.

As for what martial arts Xu Xian would teach her…

He glanced back at his junior brother, noticing Xu Xian was looking at him, lips unmoving. The shape of Xu Xian's mouth clearly spelled out: "What am I supposed to teach her…"

"We'll talk later." Too many eyes were on Ye Wen, preventing him from communicating through lip movements like Xu Xian could. He could only gesture, indicating they would discuss it in detail later.

Seeing Ye Wen agree, Huang Rongrong said no more, simply walking over to stand quietly near Xu Xian. She stood by without causing a fuss or clinging to him, which made the young master of the Xu family somewhat uneasy. He was accustomed to the noisy Huang Rongrong; her current quietness made her seem like a different person.

Everyone glanced at Huang Rongrong, mostly sighing internally. However, the matter of the Thunder Sword Gate still needed to be discussed, and since Huang Rongrong’s situation had been settled, they could not ignore the Thunder Sword Gate
