As an ally, this is Joanna's most sincere advice.
As the party that seized power, the Leta family has managed the country well over the years, and the people have gradually recognized their royal status. However, compared with the truly inherited March family, they are still far inferior.
Even Leta I had to show some courtesy to his family, not to mention that Ye Lan was just a foreigner. Not to mention the outcome of the duel, the prerequisites were already doomed to be unfair.
"It's a duel of life and death. If the March family dies, you won't survive either. If you lose, they won't let you live either." Joanna saw that she hadn't responded to the challenge, and she couldn't help but feel anxious. "This is a losing battle. You don't have any family burdens, so there's no need to accept the challenge."
It is safest to proceed step by step in private like this.
Even Joanna herself has been acting behind the scenes for all these years.
As long as the goal can be achieved, what does it matter whether it is done openly or not?
This is what she thought, and she was sincerely considering Ye Lan.
However, Ye Lan looked back at her, his eyes filled with unwavering determination and perseverance, "I do not have any family burdens, but behind me is the glory of my motherland."
So, she can't retreat.
The moment they signed the challenge, Joanna didn't understand her, and Wilson didn't understand her either.
They don’t understand what is so worth the girl’s life for in a motherland that didn’t even stand up for her when she faced danger during a live broadcast.
But only Ye Lan herself knew that she had to fight this battle.
That night.
This was the first time Ye Lan took the initiative to ask to meet Xiao Yunting.
Lei Ze couldn't refuse, and after releasing the other party's soul, he went upstairs to rest as usual.
In the living room on the first floor, the soul that had already completely condensed into a physical entity stood up and walked in front of the girl through the moonlight on the ground.
"nervous?"
Xiao Yunting lowered his eyes and asked her. His voice was not as ethereal as before. It echoed low and deep in the living room, magnetic and pleasant.
Ye Lan laughed softly when he heard this, "What do you think?"
"I don't think so. You are determined to win tomorrow's duel." Xiao Yunting was very confident in her. Besides, he was not powerless now and could help if necessary. So, "You saw me only because you missed me."
Rather than needing encouragement due to pre-match nervousness, he hoped this was the only reason for them to meet.
As a result, Ye Lan's eyebrows curved even deeper.
Tonight is a full moon, and it is also the first month in a foreign country.
They stood together by the window and looked at the sky. They did not mention their complicated work together, but just chatted.
"You've been abroad for so many years. Do you think the moonlight abroad isn't as round as the one back home?"
"I haven't seen the moon many times in the country."
"I used to think the ancient martial arts world was boring and always wanted to sneak out to play, but after actually going abroad to gain experience, I realized how good it was."
"Yeah, I do too. Sometimes I think of a more peaceful time and think that place was beautiful too."
They talked about everything under the sun. These two strong men who knew everything about astronomy and geography and were well-versed in the international situation, now put aside all their rationality and coldness, and talked about the occasional tenderness in their hearts.
The room was very quiet, yet filled with silent warmth.
Finally, as dawn was about to break, Ye Lan turned his head to look at the gradually fading soul beside him, his eyes fell on his handsome profile, and his voice was soft.
"I have to go now."
She will take on the responsibility of being the head of the Xuanzong clan.
"Hmm." Xiao Yunting responded in a low voice. He clenched his palm in the air and used the magnetic field of his inner energy to condense a solid object. He gently raised his hand and placed it on the tip of her hair. The deep ice in his eyes seemed to melt away. He gave a gentle assurance, "I won't keep you waiting too long."
Feeling the weight on his head, Ye Lan unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth. Without saying anything more, he turned around and walked out of the door. He saw a ray of golden light breaking through the clouds in the sky, piercing into his pupils like a blazing flame.
He cultivated into a physical body in just one month. He is indeed a cultivation monster with excellent talent.
Then she can't fall behind.
Today is not the weekend, but Sayre Rose University announced that all classes will be suspended and students can go home freely.
Some students who heard the news stayed behind silently to watch the fun.
It was nine o'clock in the morning, a rare time when there were no classes and everyone was still sleeping in, when a deafening alarm sounded at the school gate.
Woo woo woo——
The magic house spread its limbs, opened its mouth wide, and ran into the school like a panicked child, shouting as it ran.
"Oh no! The power grid is down! Enemies are invading! Enemies are invading!"
Just as the alarm was repeated twice, a wave of energy came from the school gate. The magic house stopped in its tracks, and the next second there was a loud bang. All the parts of the house collapsed and scattered like a pile of scrap metal on the wide avenue.
When Principal Wilson arrived with a group of professors, they saw that the March family had somehow broken through the power grid and were leading an armed team in.
"The legendary Rose University in the technological kingdom of Seer is nothing more than this." The noble guard wearing a dark blue uniform and a sword on his waist kicked the wreckage of the magic house with his toes, with disdain on his face.
"Mr. March, what do you mean?" Wilson was shocked and angry, and raised his voice to question the man in charge opposite him.
The man, riding a tall horse, whip in hand, glanced over at the sound with a wicked glance. Hearing the voice, he curled his lips and explained, "So it's the new principal? It's nothing special. I just came early, and no one came out to greet me, so I had to find a way in. Aren't you, Sayre Rose University, going to side with that Oriental student? If that's the case, the people of Texas won't like this school either. Even if I destroy it to pieces, no one will object."
"You..." Wilson was so angry at the bandit's theory that he couldn't speak. Seeing that the other party had many private soldiers, it was obviously not something he could fight head-on, so he could only clench his fists and hold his breath. However, he caught a glimpse of an inconspicuous drone in the air out of the corner of his eye.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, the man on the horse was satisfied and nodded. He said, "You are sensible. Now you can bring that oriental girl to me. We agreed on a life-and-death duel. She won't be afraid and run away early, right?"
As he spoke, he stroked the whip and laughed.
Wilson looked unhappy, thinking that it was obvious that he was trying to bully others. How could this be a life-and-death duel? The right choice would be for someone to run away first.
But even though he was complaining, he still remembered the conditions he had promised Ye Lan. He held his breath and made way for her, saying in a deep voice, "Please go to the medical department. Miss Joanna is recuperating there. She is Ye Lan's witness."
The arrogant March originally didn't want to move. He planned to teach the school and the ignorant oriental girl an unforgettable lesson at the school gate and then leave.
But when he heard Joanna's name, he hesitated for a moment, and finally his eyes flashed, and he snorted coldly: "Then I will give Joanna a favor for the time being."
As he said this, he rode his horse past the magic house and continued walking inside.
There were rumors that Joanna was dying, and he thought this woman was probably just acting.
It was a life-and-death duel, and she was a witness. If anything unexpected happened during the process, no one could be blamed.
