Upon hearing this, Murong Liyue subconsciously assumed that Dan Bingli was subtly mocking her, and immediately became so angry that her eyebrows shot up.
But then, as if she suddenly realized something, her face turned bright red, the red spreading to her ears, as delicate and luscious as a ripe cherry.
She stretched out her slender fingers, pinched Qin Luo's soft waist in a fit of anger and embarrassment, and said angrily:
"It's all your fault..."
Qin Luo choked at first, then said somewhat rudely:
"Well, I clearly said I was going to set up a barrier, but I don't know who was so stubbornly opposed."
However, as soon as the words left his mouth, he saw Murong Liyue's face, which was so red that it seemed to bleed, and the faint tears glistening in her eyes.
Qin Luo's heart softened immediately, and he quickly changed his words:
"Alright, alright, it's my fault. It's all my fault for not thinking things through. Now is not the time to argue about this. The freshman competition is of utmost importance, and we can't let these trivial matters delay us any longer."
As he spoke, he grasped Murong Liyue's hand that was clasped around his waist, slowly pulled it down, and then held it tightly in his large palm.
Murong Liyue gave a soft snort, turned her head away, and tried to calm her rapid breathing and restore the color of her burning cheeks to normal.
"I'll let it go this time. We'll settle the score properly after the competition."
Although she said that, the hand that Qin Luo was holding did not pull away at all. Instead, she unconsciously intertwined her fingers with his, like a pair of inseparable mandarin ducks.
Hearing Murong Liyue's words, Qin Luo couldn't help but chuckle inwardly, thinking to himself with a hint of annoyance:
"What a silly girl, yet she loves to play around. I wonder who's been begging for mercy... But the cuteness that shines through her cool elegance is irresistible."
After that, the two did not linger for a moment. With a flick of their bodies, they transformed into two streaks of light and flew towards the arena of the competition.
On a vast island within the Lingyuan Sect, a sea of new students eagerly awaited the start of the Freshman Competition. The atmosphere was as heated as boiling water, with noise and discussions mingling together to create a cacophony of sounds.
At the very front of the group stood Wan Shuhua and his two companions. Judging from the aura emanating from them, they had clearly reached the early stage of the Spirit Control Realm.
The aura, like tangible ripples, slowly spread through the air, causing the surrounding freshmen to unconsciously cast awe-inspiring glances at it.
call out!
A blue light streaked rapidly from the horizon, and Dan Bingli's arrival instantly drew everyone's attention. She was already stunningly beautiful, but now, after activating her bloodline, she was breathtakingly beautiful.
That aloofness, which kept people at arm's length, did not instill fear, but instead added a strange attraction.
Her stunning appearance and temperament were so captivating that even Wan Shuhua, Duan Yu, and Hong Hao, who were at the very front, couldn't resist her charm.
Wan Shuhua narrowed her eyes slightly, a complex expression of amazement and surprise flashing in them, clearly sensing the subtle pressure emanating from Dan Bingli.
Duan Yu frowned. He had originally thought that he would have a good chance of winning once he entered the early stage of the Spirit Control Realm, but now it seemed that the situation was still subject to change.
Hong Hao stared at Dan Bingli without any attempt to hide his interest, a playful smile playing on his lips. He seemed to be very interested in Dan Bingli, both in her beauty and her strength.
As Dan Bingli gracefully landed, the crowd automatically parted to the sides, instantly creating a passage.
But she didn't move. Instead, she seemed to be waiting for something. Her aloof figure was like an ice sculpture, exuding an aura that kept strangers away.
This made some people who wanted to strike up a conversation stop in their tracks. They looked at Dan Bingli hesitantly, and the courage they had just mustered quickly dissipated.
The words of conversation that I had prepared were stuck in my throat, neither going up nor down.
Several freshmen scratched their heads awkwardly, exchanged helpless glances, and slunk back into the crowd, no longer daring to consider going forward.
Those who were further away, after witnessing this scene, lost their initial curiosity about the cold beauty and simply watched from a distance, not daring to approach easily.
Soon, two more figures appeared on the horizon, moving at incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, they were right in front of them; it was Qin Luo and Murong Liyue.
Qin Luo stood tall and composed, landing steadily beside Dan Bingli. Murong Liyue landed lightly behind Qin Luo, her gaze sweeping over Dan Bingli, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
Seeing Dan Bingli's cold gaze, Qin Luo didn't say much, just nodded slightly, and then naturally walked ahead, with Murong Liyue following closely behind.
Upon seeing this, Dan Bingli frowned slightly and let out a soft hum, the sound so faint it was almost imperceptible, yet carrying a hint of dissatisfaction.
However, she still silently followed.
This scene stunned everyone. Since this ice beauty entered the Lingyuan Sect, no one had ever known her name, let alone had any contact with a strange man.
In everyone's eyes, Dan Bingli was like a flower on a high mountain, only to be admired from afar and not to be touched. But her actions at this moment undoubtedly represented something, and her following posture shattered everyone's long-held perception of her.
At this moment, the once bustling island fell into a terrifying silence, accompanied by countless heartbreaking sounds.
Those who harbored affections watched helplessly as their goddess walked with another man; their beautiful fantasies shattered like bubbles in the sunlight, leaving only bitterness in their hearts.
