Chapter 277: Peach Blossoms Have Bloomed
E Shulan didn’t manage to hold back? Not just Baili Han, but even non-cultivating regular folks in the audience could tell by the way the son sword returned to the hilt of E Shulan’s mother sword that her Battle Qi usage had already reached a level where she could control it readily. Her excuse of not managing to hold herself back was utter nonsense.
“You didn’t manage to hold back? I got it.”Baili Han looked at her piercingly and no longer said a word before he turned around and left.
E Shulan’s heart sank. Without knowing why, a sense of unease arose in her heart.
At this time, Lan Xinyu had already rejoined Ling Chuxi and the rest. There wasn’t much of a dejected expression on her face. From the looks of it, under the repeated torture of the daily savagery of Ling Chuxi, her mental perseverance was much better than before.
“Lan, Lan Xinyu, are, are you okay?” asked the fifth princess in concern as she went over to her.
“I’m fine. What’s wrong with you? Why are you speaking like that?” retorted Lan Xinyu as she swept a glance at the fifth princess in doubt.
“She, she is fine. It, it is just that, her heart, heart is very flustered. Because, cause, peach, peach blossoms, have, bloomed,” chimed in Ling Chuxi as she also smilingly joined in to tease Lan Xinyu.
Ling Yichen and the rest could not help but laugh aloud. It would be odd if Lan Xinyu still did not get that the fifth princess and Ling Chuxi were teasing her.
“I’ll fight it out with you guys! You heartless fellows!” cried Lan Xinyu as her face turned even redder. Her heart was indeed beating very fast. The moment Baili Han appeared to save her, her heart was beating very fast and she was also very flustered.
...
Ling Chuxi’s next match did not have any suspense to it. The opponent she was up against was a contender who was listed at number twenty plus in the rankings of the Feng Yan Union book. Ling Chuxi did not even remember her opponent’s name and appearance as the moment she got into the ring, she immediately defeated her opponent. The match was already over before the commentators had a chance to say a word. Then, she waited for the next round of the competition. However, many people did not think too deeply about this match as Ling Chuxi did not use her full strength.
Thus, the second round of the competition ended smoothly and Ling Chuxi easily moved onto the next round. Ling Yichen and Baili Han also won against their opponents while Xia Zhuoyi also managed to make it through after a bitter battle.
This outcome was within the expectations of many. Aside from the matter of Lan Xinyu’s unexpected breakthrough before the competition which resulted in her almost defeating E Shulan, overall, the rankings provided by Feng Yan Union were still considered extremely accurate. It could be well considered that their book was worth its price.
The lot draws to determine the matches in the next round of the competition very quickly came to an end. Snatching over the compiled table of draws from Xia Zhuoyi’s hand, the fifth princess took a look and then looked at Lan Xinyu with an odd gaze.
Immediately after, Ling Chuxi also looked over at Lan Xinyu with the same gaze.
“Why are you all looking at me like that?” asked Lan Xinyu, feeling her goosebumps rising from being looked at by them as such.
“I want to tell you that there will be someone helping you to take revenge almost immediately,” said the fifth princess as she cast a flirty glance at Lan Xinyu.
“Revenge?” Lan Xinyu snatched the table of draws from the fifth princess’ hand and understood what their gazes were all about. E Shulan’s match opponent in the next round was actually Baili Han.
“You, stop talking nonsense all of you. There is noth, nothing going on between us,” blurted Lan Xinyu in a fluster. Under Ling Chuxi and the fifth princess’ teasing and flirty gazes, she became shy and tried to explain herself calmly, but she started to stammer again instead.
“Then, then, then why are you sta, stammering so badly?” asked Ling Chuxi as she giggled and imitated Lan Xinyu’s tone.
“Ex, exactly. Also, you, you don’t talk nonsense. How is it that w, we are talking nonsense?” joined in the fifth princess in harmony with Ling Chuxi’s teasing tone.
“Ling Chuxi, I’m going to fight it out with you,” grumbled Lan Xinyu. She was so shy that her face had turned red as she bared her fangs and unleashed her claws as she pounced over.
