Bamboo House was not a small place. As Fade walked through, he could see that the inside was elegant and quiet with abundant positive energy. It was a good place for self- cultivation and recuperation. After walking for a few minutes, she took him to a quaint log cabin.

Before they entered the room, he smelled a faint fragrance of sandalwood and the clear sound of the zither, which was relaxing and nice.

"Master Chen, please come in," Bella said to him with a smile.

Fade nodded and stepped into the log cabin.

Inside the room, several young women in light, gauzy and thin skirts were playing the zither leisurely. In the middle of the room, several other women were dancing.

These women were definitely carefully selected. Every one of them had the best figure and looks. If they were in the outside world, they would be comparable to the female stars on TV.

However, at this time, they were serving as maids and dancers, so he could see how profound Bella's background was.

She led him to a seat and said with a smile, "Master Chen, please sit down."

"I invited you here today because I've long heard of your name. I haven't seen you before. Today, I'm here to witness your greatness." She said with a smile.

Fade cupped his hands slightly and said, "Miss Liang, you flatter me too much. Your name is far-reaching. It's my honor to receive your invitation."

She replied, "What can I do? Surely I'm nothing compared to you, Master Chen."

The two of them exchanged greetings. At this moment, a loud male voice suddenly interrupted their conversation.

"Bella, how long more are you going to be polite? Don't tell me that you forgot about us, Miss Liang."

Following the voice, several young men walked in.

Among them, a tall young man was speaking. It was Lorenzo.

Bella turned her head and smiled faintly. "Mr. Lu, I'm sorry. I apologize for my lack of manners. Please take your seat."

Behind Lorenzo, Carney, dressed in a long white robe, looked handsome and elegant. He was holding a folding fan in his hand. He smiled gently and said, "Miss Liang, don't take it to heart. Mr. Lu was joking." Earlias, who was standing beside Carney in casual clothes, smiled and said, "We're close friends. There's no need to be so polite. Please take your seat. I heard that your tea is excellent, Miss Liang. I can't wait to taste the tea you prepare yourself."

Next to them was a young monk. He didn't say a word at the moment, embodying the consciousness of Thousand Buddha Temple.

After that, Bella looked at Fade and introduced them, "You guys, this is Master Chen, who has recently become well-known in Capital City. I specially invited him to my humble house as a guest today." They looked at Fade, putting on looks and pretending like they had just learned of this matter.

"He's the Young Martial Arts Master. I've heard a lot about him."

"So this is Master Chen who is famous on the Internet. That's what he looks like."

"When I saw him today, I didn't expect him to be Master Chen..."

Looking at the strange way these people were behaving, Fade faintly felt that something was wrong.

At this moment, Bella said to him, "Master Chen, these young martial artists from Capital City are all participating in the selection. I invited some of them to be my guests. Do you mind?"

He responded faintly, "Miss Liang, you are the host. You have the freedom to invite anyone you please."

She paused slightly when she heard this, but she still smiled and took the initiative to introduce, "Master Chen, this is Mr. Lu, who is ranked 8th on the preliminary list. This is Mr. Pai, who is ranked 5th on the list. This is Monk Jaewoo, who ranks 4th on the list, and the last is Mr. Shao, who ranks 1st on the list."

After the introduction, Fade looked at these people. His eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly, and his eyes stayed on these people for a few seconds.

Since the rankings on the Internet were introduced, he was aware of who they were. He had also learned about the backgrounds of these people.

Lorenzo was supported by Emmit and Langham in the Lu family, Carney was supported by Thousand Star Academy, and Monk Jaewoo was supported by Thousand Buddha Temple. As for Earlias, it went without saying that Dannon was behind him.

They were all his enemies, but now, they gathered here together. He didn't believe that this was an accident.

Thinking of this, he looked at Bella.

She naturally understood the meaning in his eyes, but her face looked normal. She pretended to know nothing and greeted them with a smile, "Please wait a moment. I will go and prepare tea for all of you righ away."

After she left, the four people on the opposite side looked at Fade more directly, without concealing anything.

Lorenzo, who was hot-tempered, was the first to speak again. He said in a cold voice, "The popular Master Chen on the Internet has turned out to be like this. It seems like you are larger than life."

In the face of sarcasm, Fade's face was indifferent and he did not pay attention to it.

Seeing this, Lorenzo's face sank and he said, "Some people are incompetent, but yet they put on airs!"

Fade still ignored him and took a sip of tea lightly.

This time, Lorenzo's eyes were red, and he was almost going to fight from his anger.

However, Carney, who was next to them, stopped him, snorted softly, and said, "It seems like Master Chen doesn't take us seriously. He doesn't care about us at all."

Earlias also said coldly, "Master Chen is well-known. Perhaps you have never heard of nobodies like us."

Monk Jaewoo did not speak but looked over at him with cold and hard eyes.

Facing the fierce eyes of these people, Fade paused for a few seconds, then slowly put down the teacup, looked at them and said, "Are you talking to me?"

"You..."

This time, not just Lorenzo, but Carney and Earlias were also almost unable to restrain their anger.

At this moment, Fade smiled and said, "Please don't take it to heart. I was just lost in thought, so I didn't hear you. Please forgive me!"

They snorted coldly, as their gazes turned frosty.

At this time, Bella came in with a tea set and began to make tea.

Under such circumstances, Lorenzo and the others could only suppress their anger and wait for her to make tea.

It had to be admitted that she was talented at making tea. Not only was her posture graceful and charming, but the product was also good. The tea brewed was also fragrant and delicious, leaving an endless aftertaste in the mouth.

For a moment, they were full of praise.

After the tea, they chatted for a while. Lorenzo and others looked at each other, winked at each other, and then looked at Bella together.

At this moment, Earlias spoke, "Miss Liang, it just so happens that everyone here is participating in the preliminaries. Why don't we take this opportunity to spar and exchange pointers? We can also encourage and improve each other."

"That's a good idea. There are only a few days left before the match. I need to train."

"After drinking so much tea, it's good to move your body."
