Five Elements Heaven.

Summary

Ai Hui wasn't planning to greet Duanmu Huanghun at the city gate, but Duanmu Huanghun's slow movement blocked the way, and Ai Hui decided to speak up. Duanmu Huanghun face-planted into the mud, and Ai Hui felt disdain for his mental fortitude. Ai Hui then went to the training hall, took a refreshing bath, and decided to eat noodles at a restaurant. He ordered five bowls of noodles and ate them quickly, drawing the attention of a girl, Shi Xue Man, who was eating at the opposite table. Shi Xue Man was a mysterious expert who had been searching for the person who had defeated her in a blind battle. She had suspected Duanmu Huanghun but dismissed the idea due to his typical noble family aura. She wore a yuan force mask to avoid being recognized and visited Songjian City often. At the noodle shop, she forgot her money and was embarrassed, but Ai Hui lent her the money, 150 silver coins, in exchange for a string of beads as collateral. Ai Hui paid for both their meals and left the shop, telling Shi Xue Man to send the money to the Bingfeng Dojo. Shi Xue Man thanked him and promised to pay him back. Ai Hui walked away, leaving Shi Xue Man to deal with her forgotten money. The chapter ends with Ai Hui's casual departure, leaving Shi Xue Man to reflect on their encounter. The chapter also mentions Duanmu Huanghun's grand performance, where he exhausted himself and tripped while getting off the Fire Cloud. Shi Xue Man had heard about this and felt admiration for his battle record, but she was more interested in finding the mysterious expert who had defeated her. The chapter sets the stage for potential interactions between Ai Hui and Shi Xue Man, as well as Ai Hui's continued growth as a character.
