âI didnât say anything!â Freak said cautiously while looking at Leng Ruoxue pitifully. He even glanced at everyone with watery eyes, making it difficult for them not to feel pity. But his heart was overjoyed.?Fortunately, we came out late. If we came out earlier, no one would have seen us! Hehe!
âDo you still need to say it?!â Leng Ruoxue roared angrily. He was obviously deliberately attracting attention but also pretending to be submissive. Anyone who saw Freak like this would definitely think that she did something to him.
âXueâer, youâve grown up. Grandpa is very open-minded, and you two are engaged. Hehe, you donât have to be embarrassed!â Leng Qingtian knew that his granddaughter was shy, so he quickly comforted her. But his words only made her angrier.
âGrandpa, I told you we didnât do anything!â Leng Ruoxue stressed.?Why doesnât Grandpa believe me? Boohooâ¦
âYes, yes. Grandpa knows that you didnât do anything. Grandpa understands,â Leng Qingtian said perfunctorily.
âBut Xueâer, you have to be responsible for Ye Chen!â Leng Qingtian added.
âYes, thatâs right.â Ye Chen nodded in agreement.?She should have been responsible for me a long time ago. Iâm so happy that Grandpa is so sensible.
Leng Ruoxue was speechless. She directly grabbed hold of Freakâs collar and dragged him back into her room. Immediately after, the room was full of banging soundsâ¦
âSo intense? Can Deputy Leader Ye take it?â Feng Da murmured curiously. The others had the same thought.
âLetâs leave first! Or else Xueâer will be shy again when she comes out,â Leng Qingtian said thoughtfully.
âYeah.â?Hide quickly, leave, disperse!
With that, everyone quickly dispersed.
In the room.
Hmph! Since they all think I did something, wouldnât it be such a loss if I didnât do anything??With this thought in mind, Leng Ruoxue angrily pushed him onto the bed, threw herself on top of him, and ripped open his clothesâ¦
Freak was pinned down by Xueâer, and his face was full of anticipation. He kept shouting in his heart,?Come on, take me!?But after he waited for a long time, Xueâer didnât take any further action.
âXueâer,â Freak called out softly, anticipatingâ¦
âAh!â Leng Ruoxue, who had calmed down, hurriedly stood up when she saw what she was doing. Her face was burning, and her heart was thumping non-stop.?Damn it! Why was I so impulsive? I almost fell for Freakâs trick. But to be honest, Freak is indeed very attractive, but heâs also very troublesome.
âXueâer, how can you do this to me?â Seeing that his plan to entice her had failed again, Freak sat up reluctantly.?Why is Xueâer so strong-willed? How distressing!
âHurry up and fix your clothes! We should go out,â Leng Ruoxue said when she saw his disheveled clothes.
âYou were the one who tore my clothes apart.â Freak looked at Leng Ruoxue aggrievedly and casually adjusted his clothes.
âMake it look better. You canât go out like this,â Leng Ruoxue yelled. If Freak were to go out like this, she wouldnât be able to clear her name no matter what she said. But she didnât know yet that she could no longer clear her name now.
âXueâer, youâre bullying me!â Freak accused seriously while adjusting his clothes.
âWhen did I bully you? Donât wrong me.
âHurry up and go out! Theyâre getting anxious from waiting,â Leng Ruoxue said when she saw that Freak had sorted out his clothes.
When the two of them walked out of the room for the second time, there was no one in the corridor. âWhere is everyone? Did they all leave?â
âNo, weâre still here!â At this moment, the people who had been waiting for a long time suddenly emerged from who knows where.
âLass, letâs go since youâre done!â Elder Qiu said very considerately with a wretched smile on his face.?Young people should be so passionate. Hehe, itâs good to be young!
âWe didnât do anything!â they said in unison.
âAh, yes. You didnât do anything. Letâs go now!â Elder Qiu cleverly stopped bringing it up, lest they became shy.
â¦
By the time everyone arrived at the competition venue, it was already crowded.
Elder Qiu brought Leng Ruoxue and the others to the main stage to draw lots.
âElder Qiu, youâre finally here. Weâve been waiting for you,â Elder Wang of the Rising Dragon Academy said when he saw Elder Qiu.
âSorry Iâm late.â
âReferee, can we start drawing lots now?â Elder Wang asked.
âAlright, everyone is here.â The referee took out the prepared box and placed it in front of them.
Soon, all ten people had their opponents for the first battle.
Leng Ruoxueâs first opponent was Lin Yuan. Ye Chenâs opponent was Ye Xiao from the Rising Dragon Academy. Feng Moranâs opponent was Di Fei from the Flying Bird Academy. Huo Qingâs opponent was Pang Sen from the Lunar Shadow Academy. And Feng Daâs opponent was Mu Li.
When it was time for the matches, the referees gave the order, and the battles officially began.
In the first match of the individual competition, Feng Da and Mu Li were the first to go on stage. After going on stage, Feng Da chose to admit defeat, and Mu Li won without even fighting.
Leng Ruoxue and Lin Yuan were the second to go on stage. After going on stage, Lin Yuan also chose to admit defeat. This way, there were only three of the first dayâs five matches left.
âHey, whatâs going on? Why did they admit defeat so quickly?â someone below the stage couldnât help whispering.
âIs this a strategy of the Heavenly Phoenix Academy?â
Seeing this scene, the spectators below the stage couldnât help discussing spiritedly.
âYe Chen versus Ye Xiao,â the referee announced.
Ye Chen and Ye Xiao walked onto stage from the two sides.
âAre you from the Ye family?â Ye Xiao asked curiously. He had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but he hadnât had the chance.
âNo,â Ye Chen said indifferently.
âThen I wonât be polite,â Ye Xiao said confidently. If he were a member of the Ye family, he might have shown mercy.
