Chapter 189 Are you trying to ride on my popularity? Do you have any shame?

After the intermediate group competition is over, the advanced group competition will start immediately.

In the advanced group competition, Pei Luobai faced Liu Yuanxu from Yinyue Palace.

The disciples of Qingxuan Sect were worried about this game, but not much, because Liu Yuanxu didn't seem to be very smart, and his intelligence was fully demonstrated in the last team battle.

Moreover, ever since he was seriously injured by Ye Linglong in the secret realm of Mount Dajin, he has used the short period of three months to recover, and has not shown any progress so far.

When the game started, the disciples of Yinyue Palace were so nervous that their heads almost smoked. But when they turned around and saw the disciples of Qingxuan Sect eating melon seeds and spiritual fruits leisurely, they immediately felt less nervous.

Because nine times out of ten you won’t be able to defeat him.

Everyone saw it during the last sect group battle. Pei Luobai was able to fight back and forth with Si Yuchen, while their chief had never defeated Si Yuchen once.

In addition, he had been seriously injured after returning from the Dajin Mountains, which resulted in little progress in his cultivation. He did not hold out much hope for the advanced group in the Hidden Moon Palace's peak martial arts competition this year, so he would be fine as long as he could get by.

All hopes are placed on the beginner and intermediate groups, but now it seems that these two groups are not easy to beat.

Soon, the competition began.

Pei Luobai's swordsmanship was steady and powerful. As expected, Liu Yuanxu fell into a disadvantage soon after the start. He struggled for almost half an hour before he was defeated by Pei Luobai's sword.

Even though we lost, this was the longest game of the day, but we still won despite the defeat.

"Thank you." Pei Luobai was very polite.

Liu Yuanxu hated his pretentious behavior the most, so he sneered.

"Why do you think you can beat me? If it weren't for Ye Linglong..."

Losing is losing, but the mentality has to be changed. Not only must Ye Linglong's reputation be destroyed openly, but also the relationship between them in secret must be sown to cause suspicion and distrust, thus leading to alienation.

He had a very good idea, and after he finished speaking, he heard a lot of discussion from the audience.

"No way? Did Ye Linglong do something before the game?"

"What's so strange about this? She has a lot of ideas and can do anything to win! I guess she did something to make Liu Yuanxu suffer!"

"Oh my god! Did Pei Luobai win by unfair means? No wonder I felt that Liu Yuanxu was weird and not as strong as he was in the last peak martial arts competition!"

Seeing the effect, he was satisfied and prepared to step down from the stage. After feeling disgusted with Qingxuan Sect for a moment, he felt much better.

However, just as he took the first step, the rosy-cheeked little figure in the audience suddenly stood up.

"Liu Yuanxu, I know I hurt you, but I didn't expect that you would turn from love to hatred because of my rejection, and you became obsessed with practicing martial arts and almost couldn't be saved!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was shocked and a lot of gossip and discussion broke out.

Liu Yuanxu was stunned for a moment. What nonsense was she talking about?

"If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have agreed to your request! I was only twelve years old. What was going on in your mind?"

Now everyone started discussing even more fiercely, with all sorts of nasty gossip and shocking words popping out of their mouths, making Liu Yuanxu's scalp tingle.

What is going on? How can you say such nonsense? Does she not care about her reputation anymore?

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't..."

"You didn't? Because of this, you broke your heart mirror in anger, tore up your life-saving amulet, and even cut your throat with a sword. You said you didn't want to live anymore!"

As soon as Ye Linglong said this, the whole audience was immediately boiling.

"I can't believe Liu Yuanxu is such a love-minded person. For the sake of the love he couldn't get, he destroyed all these life-saving things. He really doesn't want to live anymore!"

"Is it possible that he was beaten like this by someone else?"

"Are you kidding? He is the chief of Hidden Moon Palace, a young prince. Who could beat him like this? He must want to die! But why did he like Ye Linglong, who is only twelve years old, when he could like anyone else? Look, is this something a human would do?"

"No wonder he's almost 30 years old. He's attracted to beautiful women. It turns out he likes this type of thing! But he couldn't wait to confess his love to her before she even reached the age of 15. Is he that beastly?"

Liu Yuanxu was stunned. He opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know whether to admit that Ye Linglong had beaten him like that, or simply accept her slander.

"What nonsense are you making up?" Liu Yuanxu was furious.

"Then tell me, how did all those things of yours disappear? Did I beat you up? And what about the injuries on your body? Can you explain it?"

"I'm not hurt!" Liu Yuanxu could only deceive outsiders with this statement, but not the people in Yinyue Palace.

But he had no choice, the reputation of Yinyue Palace was more important, and his fellow disciples would not expose him.

"You didn't get hurt, so you lost to my senior brother because you were not as skilled as him. Why are you blaming me? Are you trying to ride on my popularity? Do you have any shame?"

…

At this moment, Liu Yuanxu wanted to rush up and give them a few slaps in the face.

Forget it, I'd better beat myself up a few times when I get back. Why bother arguing with Ye Linglong?

Liu Yuanxu snorted angrily, turned and left.

Well, his shameless attempt to gain popularity is better than before.

Who would have thought that as soon as he walked back to where the disciples of Yinyue Palace were, all his fellow disciples looked at him in disbelief, and the shock lasted for a long time.

Damn.

He didn't want to do that either. He didn't expect Ye Linglong to be so reckless. She was just a little girl and didn't even care about her dignity in public.

The head of the Yinyue Palace had a frown on his face and looked very bad.

"Yuan Xu, after today, please come to my place."

…

After Pei Luobai jumped off the arena, he ran straight to where Ye Linglong was, with a worried look on his face.

"Junior sister, what's going on between you and Liu Yuanxu?"

"Brother, do you want to know?"

???

Isn't this a serious matter? Why is she smiling so wickedly?

"I'll tell you when I win first place."

…

When Ye Linglong smiled, everyone else followed suit. It felt like everyone in the family knew the secret, except for me.

Pei Luobai took a deep breath and thought, never mind, if he didn't know, then he didn't know. There was no need to know everything about his junior sister. As long as other people thought it was okay, then there was no problem at all.

Throughout the day, the top four in the beginner, intermediate and advanced categories have been decided.

Next up are the semi-finals for the three levels on the second day.

That night, when Ye Linglong and the others came back from practicing and fighting outside, she saw Yu Xingzhou waiting for her at the door of her room.

"Linglong, can you let your sister go back first? I want to talk to you for a while."

"Okay, let's go for a walk over there."

Ye Linglong knew that what happened to Liu Yuanxu today had caused quite a stir, and this kid probably came to inquire about the real situation.

"Ling Long, you and Senior Brother Liu..."

"That's not the case. You should ask him yourself. It's not for me to say."

He thought his answer would be questioned, but Yu Xingzhou actually felt relieved.

???

For the first time, Ye Linglong realized that he seemed to be unable to see through people's hearts.
