Chapter 44: I Just Like Her
Leave?
Who is this?
The students present looked around curiously. The name "Li" sounded like a pseudonym. They wondered who was so bold as to use a pseudonym in front of the academy elders...
Ye Fei blinked, revealing an expression of anticipation, and nudged Li Yuan: "It's your turn to participate in the competition, go up!"
Li Yuan glanced at Ye Fei, said nothing, stood up, and walked steadily onto the arena.
His opponent, Ling Qian, was a girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old.
When Ling Qian saw Li Yuan's handsome and extraordinary appearance, a look of amazement flashed in his eyes: This handsome young man is really good-looking!
Li Yuan frowned. He disliked being stared at like that by humans. The last ant who dared to look at him like that had been annihilated by him with a single palm strike.
But because he had to conceal his identity, he couldn't kill anyone here.
"Ling Qian, Li, are you both ready?" the Grand Elder asked.
Ling Qian snapped out of his daze at Li Yuan's beauty: "Student is ready!"
Li Yuan remained expressionless, exuding a sharp aura. He was tall and slender, and his black brocade robe was both domineering and noble.
He and Huang Rongyu seemed to be two extremes; the former was as cold and aloof as a ruthless emperor who kept everyone at arm's length, while the latter was as gentle and elegant as a banished immortal from a painting.
The Grand Elder waved his hand, signaling: "The competition officially begins. The competition will end when the contest is over, and you must remember not to kill your fellow students!"
Before Ling Qian could even unleash her spiritual energy, Li Yuan's figure suddenly closed in on her. With a swift movement of his long hand, the dense black spiritual energy in his palm instantly sent Ling Qian flying back several feet away.
The Seventh Elder, who was dozing off in his seat, suddenly realized something and turned his gaze to the figure in a black brocade robe on the arena. He was pleasantly surprised: "Such rich dark spiritual energy is truly rare!"
"Indeed, this young man named Li possesses a dark spiritual root." The Grand Elder smiled, his eyes narrowing. "The moment I saw him, I knew he was no ordinary person. Seventh Brother, what do you think of him?"
The Seventh Elder fiddled with his fingers painted with vermilion nail polish, and smiled, "I'm determined to get this kid, but that girl named Ye Fei is also very much to my liking."
"Ye Fei isn't a dark-elemental spirit master, so why did you take her in?" The Grand Elder raised an eyebrow, quite puzzled.
"Who said I was going to take her on as an apprentice?"
The Seventh Elder lazily rested her chin on her hand, her fox-like eyes carrying a hint of allure. Dressed in a red robe, despite her youthful appearance, she looked like a thousand-year-old fox demon reclining among flowers: "I like her, I want to be close to her, and I even want to invite her to my Heavenly Mystery Pavilion as a guest. Is that not allowed?"
The First Elder's heart skipped a beat. The Seventh Prince had been hiding in the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion all day long and rarely stepped out of the pavilion. Even the senior students who had already graduated from the academy had never seen the Seventh Prince's true appearance.
The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion is the place that the Seventh Prince guards. If she really were to take Ye Fei to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, then Ye Fei's position in the Seventh Prince's heart would probably be...
The Grand Elder had only been pondering for a short while when the contest on the arena had already been decided—
Li Yuan turned around and appeared behind Ling Qian like a ghost. He raised his hand and patted Ling Qian's back without any pity!
Ling Qian coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.
Li Yuan stood with his hands behind his back in front of Ling Qian: "You lost."
"I... admit defeat..." Ling Qian uttered three words intermittently in his blurred consciousness before fainting.
"Li wins!" the Grand Elder announced, his brows furrowing slightly as he noticed a flash of murderous intent in Li Yuan's eyes.
The boy seemed to be restraining his murderous intent.
