Chapter 212 Secret Love

The fact that Tianfeng Sect sent Lü Xuan to lead the charge surprised everyone and sparked much discussion.

"Who is she? I don't think I've seen her before."

"Looks quite young, probably only eleven or twelve years old?"

"She's supposedly a disciple of Sect Leader Fu, but I guess he's planning to take her on as a personal disciple."

"Oh, I see."

...

Upon hearing the words of the people behind her, Ye Luo suddenly realized why there had been such a commotion earlier. It turned out they were openly and secretly competing for the position of "Junior Sister" in the sect.

Seeing Yang Shen's furrowed brows, Ye Luo shook her head and chuckled. Bai Ruoqian was already causing enough trouble, but it seemed that Lü Xuan was no pushover either.

He genuinely felt sorry for Yang Shen.

Yu Qianling glanced at the various sects and found that there were many unfamiliar faces, some of whom had reached the Nascent Soul level.

"The final arena battle isn't even in the secret realm. Aren't you afraid they'll tear this place down after one round?"

Nan Muyin: "Don't worry, it won't be demolished this time."

Seeing that Yu Qianling was somewhat puzzled, he pointed down and continued, "The arena is not only made of hard materials, but also has several strengthening arrays set up, so the arena is very sturdy."

"Oh, I see." Yu Qianling leaned back in her chair after saying that. "That's a real shame..."

It would be so much better to tear it down! Just like my junior brother said, it would instantly elevate the class by several notches!

"It's about to begin!" Xiao Huan exclaimed excitedly, patting Cen Feng beside him as usual, only to find that he merely responded with a faint sound, looking rather uninterested.

"Qingyue Gate, Zuosong."

"Tianfeng Sect, Lü Xuan. This senior brother is invited!"

"Junior sister, be careful!" Zuo Song's face showed a smug look. He didn't expect it to be a little girl. She was practically giving him free points. How could he not be happy?

However, before he could reach Lü Xuan, he was suddenly blasted away by several chaotic sword beams.

With a light laugh, Lü Xuan moved with lightning speed, her petite and lithe body leaping up and kicking him hard in the waist. With a "crack" sound, he flew directly off the huge arena.

The entire room fell silent.

A moment later, excited shouts erupted from the stands. Such decisive moves are often the most exciting, and Lü Xuan ignited the entire arena.

"You really can't judge a book by its cover. I never expected her to be so skilled at such a young age. I thought she was going to get a good beating!"

"She looks much younger than Bai Ruoqian, but I didn't expect her to already be in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. It seems that the Tianfeng Sect has taken in another genius girl!"

"You're right, it's really enviable..."

...

Hearing the surrounding chatter, Bai Ruoqian slammed her hand on the table and gritted her teeth, saying, "Damn it, she still got her way!"

Bai Qingyi sighed and said, "Why are you, a Core Formation cultivator, getting angry with her?"

Bai Ruoqian said aggrievedly, "Cousin, if she hadn't been provoking me all the time, why would I hate her so much! Look at her shameless appearance, she's even worse than Ye Luo!"

Chen Yici glanced at Bai Ruoqian, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and asked, "This girl has good talent. If she has enough opportunities, she will definitely be able to form a Nascent Soul in less than ten years. Where did your master take her as a disciple?"

"How would I know?" Bai Ruoqian cursed inwardly as she watched Lü Xuan in the arena.

Hmph, I'll get rid of her sooner or later!

Watching Lü Xuan for a short while, she even took down two members of the Qingyue Sect, and both were killed in one move.

Seeing this, Jiang Yunzi, the head of Qingyue Sect, lost face and angrily said, "Who arranged these disciples who went on stage? Weren't they selected?!"

The surrounding disciples trembled, and one of them stepped forward to reply, "These...these people were all arranged by Senior Sister Du..."

"Du Jiaoxi?" Jiang Yunzi glanced around and, finding no trace of her, angrily asked, "Where is she?"

"Huh? It was just here a moment ago... how did it suddenly disappear?"

Jiang Yunzi: "Go find her quickly!"

"Yes, yes, disciple will go find her and bring her back immediately."

At this moment, Du Jiaoxi glanced at the match on the stage and continued walking towards the higher part of the viewing platform.

Suddenly, a white figure flashed by, and she quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Master!"

"Hmm." Her face was covered by a veil. She stood by the railing, gazing down in a daze. After a long while, she coughed a few times and said, "You've worked hard all these years. You've done a good job. Your teacher is very satisfied."

Du Jiaoxi: "Thank you for the praise, Master! Then, may I leave Qingyue Sect?"

"Yes, but we'll have to wait until you finish your last task."

Upon hearing this, Du Jiaoxi's eyes flickered slightly, and she asked in confusion, "Master... what is it?"

"Come closer to my ear..."

...

The battle in the arena continued, and cheers surged like waves.

Du Jiaoxi walked slowly with a frown on her face, when she suddenly ran into Shi Yi, whom she hadn't seen in a long time. "What brings you here?"

Shi Yi, his honest face full of shyness, scratched his head and smiled, "I haven't seen you for a while... so I thought I'd come out to look for you."

Seeing his simple and honest appearance, Du Jiaoxi felt the gloom in her heart dissipate and couldn't help but tease him, "Why aren't you preparing for the competition? What are you doing here looking for me?"

“These days… you never reply to my messages. I just want to talk to you, to see you so I can feel at ease.”

Du Jiaoxi raised an eyebrow and said teasingly, "Oh? You just want to see me? Don't you want anything else...?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi's face flushed red, and he muttered softly, "I... it's no use thinking about it..."

How do you know you didn't?

"ah?"

Suddenly, Du Jiaoxi caught a glimpse of several Qingyue Sect disciples approaching from a distance, so she pulled him to a secluded corner to hide.

"Xiaoxi, what are you doing?" Shi Yi seemed to remember something and asked urgently, "Oh right, you'd better go back quickly, don't you have a competition later?"

"No rush... Going back would be a life-or-death struggle, it's much more comfortable to stay with you..."

Seeing that she looked strange, Shi Yi quickly asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

After a long while, Du Jiaoxi looked up at him and said, "Shi Hanzi, if one day I am..."

"By what? Hey, say something! You're going to drive me crazy!"

Suddenly, Du Jiaoxi stood on tiptoe and kissed his lips, silencing all his questions.

Shi Yi, who had always been under her control, could not resist her temptation. He wrapped his muscular arms tightly around her and eagerly returned her kiss.

The two embraced and kissed in a secluded corner, the shouts from the stands occasionally reaching their ears, making Shi Yi's heart race.

Hearing the strong heartbeat, Du Jiaoxi couldn't help but chuckle: "Are you scared... or do you like it?"

Shi Yi's ears turned red, "They...they all have..."

Du Jiaoxi smiled and gently bit his firm chin. "How about we play something even more exciting?"

Meeting his questioning gaze, she slowly slid down...

"Xiao Xi?!"

Shi Yi grabbed her mischievous hand, nervously looked around, and whispered, "You, you stop messing around..."

"In no mood?"

"But……"

dirty.

"Alright then." Du Jiaoxi stood up and sighed, "Since that's the case... then I'll really be leaving."

A hint of sadness flashed in her eyes, which Shi Yi keenly noticed. "Don't go!"

In his haste, he wrapped his arms around her, burying his face in the crook of her neck, "Just... just a little longer with me..."

"This simpleton is really hard to please."

"Xiaoxi..."

"Um?"

"I'll take you back to Zhanzong, and you'll be my wife."

Upon hearing this, Du Jiaoxi's eyes welled up with tears, and her lips trembled slightly as she choked out, "Okay..."
