Yan Nanzhi seemed used to Shen Miaoqing's cold words and said nonchalantly, "Miaoqing, I've come here to say goodbye!"
Shen Miaoqing snorted coldly, secretly wishing Yan Nanzhi would leave as soon as possible. She didn't understand why her father insisted on arranging this marriage with the Yan family. She would rather die than marry him!
"My grandfather is seriously ill... I need to go back to take care of some things!" Although Yan Nanzhi appeared calm, Wen Chuyu could see some fatigue and worry in his eyes!
Shen Miaoqing lowered her eyes, recalling the kind old man. He was fine when she and her father went to the Yan family before, so why did he suddenly become seriously ill?
"Has your master taken a look?" Wen Chuyu asked.
"No, my master has been too busy lately, and I don't want to trouble him!"
When do we depart?
“Now!” Yan Nanzhi replied.
"Okay, take care! The old man will be alright!" Wen Chuyu patted Yan Nanzhi on the back.
Yan Nanzhi responded and clasped his hands in farewell to them. He glanced at Shen Miaoqing and then turned and left.
Shen Miaoqing gritted her teeth, "Yan Nanzhi!"
"Remember to give my regards to the old man. I'll be asking him to practice swordsmanship again another day. Tell him to take care of himself, and I'm sure I'll beat him!"
Yan Nanzhi stopped, a slight smile playing on his lips, and strode away! Watching his departing figure, Shen Miaoqing breathed a sigh of relief!
At that moment, a commotion broke out ahead!
Someone in the crowd shouted, "The poisonous man is coming! Run!"
Upon hearing this, the students scattered in all directions, creating a chaotic scene! Ji Jiuying frowned slightly. A poisonous person? Before she could think further, a familiar figure appeared ahead!
It turned out to be the Xuanjing Realm, which I hadn't seen in a long time!
He walked step by step toward Ji Jiuying, which frightened Wen Longting, Shen Miaoqing, Qingling and the others, who all hid behind Ji Jiuying. After all, Xiao Jiuying was not afraid of his poison, but they were!
"Xiao Jiu, he must be here to take revenge on you!" Wen Longting said in a low voice.
"Judging from the situation, it definitely is!" Shen Miaoqing said.
Qingling hadn't attended the Genius Tournament, so she hadn't met Xuanjing, but she could tell that this person was up to no good! Just as she was about to step forward to block Ji Jiuying, Ji Jiuying pulled her behind her.
Later, Qingling learned that this person was covered in poison, and she was terrified!
The students surrounded them, all curious about why this poisonous person had suddenly returned to the academy!
"Wasn't this poisoner missing for over two years? How come he suddenly reappeared in the academy?"
"I don't know!"
"He's heading in the same direction as Wen Chuyu. Is he going to challenge Wen Chuyu?"
"Very likely!"
However, Xuanjing stopped in front of Ji Jiuying in front of so many people.
Everyone gasped, silently sweating for Ji Jiuying. It turned out that the poisoner wasn't looking for Wen Chuyu, but for Senior Sister Ji Jiuying!
Ji Jiuying looked at the burly man in front of her. His eyes were still the same as before, filled with nothing but burning fighting spirit. But why did he come to the academy? Could it be that he came just to challenge her?
“I told you, I will come back to challenge you!” Xuan Jing said expressionlessly.
Ji Jiuying's lips twitched. It really was true! If she didn't accept the challenge now, he would probably keep bothering her!
She has to go to the cultivation tower early tomorrow morning, and she doesn't know when she'll be out! She can only fight him now, and she also wants to test her strength as a second-star Spirit King!
"Then let's go to the arena!"
Ji Jiuying's words exploded like a bomb in the crowd, and a commotion arose!
"No way, is Poison Man really going to challenge the new senior sister?"
"That poisonous person is covered in poison; Senior Sister is in big trouble now!"
"However, as long as we don't touch the opponent during the battle, it's fine!"
"You guys are so ignorant! Senior Sister fought that poison man in the Cangyue Genius Competition. Senior Sister wasn't afraid of the poison man's poison at all. Later, the poison man lost and boasted that he would challenge Senior Sister again!"
Everyone then understood why the Poison Man didn't go anywhere else when he came to the academy, but went straight to the senior sister!
"Good!" Xuanjing responded with satisfaction.
A large group of people headed towards the arena. Their strength in the Xuan Realm was among the best in Star Academy, and they were also curious about the senior sister's strength.
Before long, news of Ji Jiuying and Xuan Jing's duel on the arena spread throughout the entire academy, and more and more people gathered around the arena. Even the elders and sect leaders were alarmed and came to pay their respects!
On the ring, the two stood with their hands behind their backs.
Ji Jiuying simply tied her hair into a high ponytail, then used a hairpin to pin up the ends. The stray hairs on her forehead fluttered in the wind, and the blood-red lotus flowers were faintly visible. She was both beautiful and alluring, with a touch of heroic spirit.
The opposing Xuanjing was tall and burly, with dark skin and a strong masculine aura. The two men's height and build formed a stark contrast!
“This time, let’s not use any spirit beasts, shall we?” Ji Jiuying said.
"Good!" Xuan Jing's eyes burned with fighting spirit, but even more so with excitement!
Xuanjing drew his dark brown sword and charged towards Ji Jiuying. Ji Jiuying also drew her Illusion Demon Sword to meet him!
Thud—
The two forces collided, like a dragon emerging from the sea, creating towering waves, lightning, and thunder, with overwhelming momentum! The speed of the swordplay was extremely fast, and the master showed no mercy to the woman, with every move carrying a ruthless killing intent.
The sword, gleaming with a cold light, was illuminated by the sun and emitted a blood-red glow. Xuan Jing felt an extremely sharp gust of wind rushing towards him. Xuan Jing steadied his mind and swung the sword in his hand a thousand times, transforming it into a fierce wind that struck Ji Jiu Ying's Illusion Demon Sword.
Thump! The two forces collided, and circular waves of light spread outwards, as if the heavens and earth were trembling. The impact was beyond terrifying. The spiritual energy fluctuations that spread out alone made the faces of those outside the arena turn pale.
As everyone watched the two facing off in mid-air, they couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "So strong!"
The two distanced themselves. Ji Jiuying landed steadily, while Xuan Jing took a few steps back before regaining his footing. A trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, but his face remained expressionless.
"You've gotten even stronger!"
Xuanjing wiped the blood from his forehead and mouth, and said excitedly.
"The same to you!"
As Ji Jiuying spoke, she leaped into the air, silently chanting an incantation. Behind her, jets of water shot out, creating a spectacular scene under the sunlight.
"Just how strong is this senior sister? She's so powerful!"
Jun Lintian, standing in the crowd, looked on with a hint of surprise. She seemed to have become much stronger than she had been in the far north!
"These two seem to have no energy consumption at all, that's amazing!"
······
"Elder, who do you think will win?" Shen Qingqiu asked.
"That's really hard to say!" The elder shook his head.
"Is that even a question? Xuanjing will definitely win. How can a freshman like Ji Jiuying compare to Xuanjing? Besides, Xuanjing is covered in poison. Before the outcome is even decided, Ji Jiuying might be poisoned to death!" Leng Yuelan said contemptuously.
