Chapter 42: An Unusual Atmosphere
Li Yuan sat in his seat, his gaze fixed on the girl walking towards him.
The sharp, frosty look on her face was gone; instead, she reverted to Ye Fei, who always wore an arrogant smile.
That smile was like light entering his vision, bright yet not dazzling.
"Was this seat reserved just for me?" Ye Fei glanced at the empty seat next to Li Yuan.
In fact, there were people sitting on both sides of Liyuan.
However, he exuded a chilling aura that kept strangers at bay, which the students found unbearable, so they had to get up and move away.
Many female students paid special attention to this boy whose appearance was no less than that of Huang Rongyu, but unfortunately he was the kind of boy who could only be admired from afar and not touched.
Li Yuan remained expressionless, his thin lips parted slightly, and he uttered a single word: "Sit."
Tsk, this guy is really sparing with his words; it's like saying a few more words would kill him...
Ye Fei silently complained, then sat down without hesitation.
The female students watching from a distance: "...!!!"
So Ye Fei and this handsome young man really were together! No wonder he was so aloof towards them...
Su Haochen sat in his seat, his eyes fixed on the subtle interactions between Ye Fei and Li Yuan, his hands clenched into fists hidden in his sleeves.
It turns out that what she said during the family trial was true.
She really doesn't like him anymore...
Su Haochen suddenly felt a sense of loss. He had always disliked Ye Fei, and now that she was no longer pursuing him, wasn't this exactly what he wanted?
But why do I feel a little uneasy?
On the stage, the Grand Elder, seeing that it was about time, cleared his throat and announced, "Ye Fei wins the first match!"
Upon hearing the word "victory," many students present finally remembered something—before the match began, they had all placed bets on Xin Feifei!
Thus, apart from Huang Rongyu, the First Elder, the Fourth Elder, and a handful of others who placed bets on Ye Fei, everyone else who participated in the betting lost everything...
Xin Ze helped up Xin Feifei, who was covered in injuries, and his resentful gaze swept across Ye Fei like a knife.
Night Scarlet... Night Scarlet!!!
If you offend the Xin family, you won't get away with it!
...
The morning's trials have come to a temporary end. After the lunch break, the remaining trials will continue.
Ye Fei had just learned that her sparring match with Xin Feifei had been turned into a thrilling betting game.
"I knew those students looked so dejected; they'd lost their pants," Ye Fei sneered.
Huang Rongyu took out an item and handed it to Ye Fei: "This is a prize added by the Grand Elder for that bet. The winner of the sparring can take it directly. This Grade 3 Qingling Pill is yours."
"A Grade Three Azure Spirit Pill?" Ye Fei took the emerald-green pill and examined it closely. A rich herbal aroma wafted over her, making her feel refreshed and invigorated.
Huang Rongyu nodded: "The Azure Spirit Pill will be of great use to you, a wood-type spirit master. Find some time to absorb it as soon as possible."
Ye Fei gladly accepted it, looking at him sincerely: "Thank you for speaking up for me."
"I'm just stating the facts." Huang Rongyu gently shook her head, her eyes filled with tenderness as she looked at Ye Fei. "The exchange was quite exciting."
Ye Fei chuckled and clasped her hands in a fist salute, saying, "I am not very talented. Compared to Senior Rong Yu, I am still slightly inferior."
A gentle smile appeared on Huang Rongyu's lips, and she was about to continue speaking when a deep, icy voice rang out: "Let's go back and rest."
Ye Fei turned around, and Li Yuan stood quietly behind her. He was speaking to her, but his gaze was fixed on Huang Rongyu.
The two handsome young men stared at each other, their eyes darting back and forth.
Ye Fei was caught in the middle, completely at a loss. Wait, what's with this strange, tense atmosphere?!
Ye Fei gave Huang Rongyu an apologetic look, then pulled Li Yuan along: "Let's go, let's go!"
Huang Rongyu watched Ye Feili and the other person leave, her lips slightly pursed.
