Having achieved her goal, Sikong Qianluo was overjoyed and immediately told Lin Bufan about the "good news"—he had been ranked on the list of the most outstanding.
The all-knowing scholar of Beili ranked him on the list of the strongest, making him the youngest person ever to be on the list.
Because of this incident, the Second City Lord did not come to challenge him to a duel.
"Because of this, Li Hanyi gave up sparring with me. What's the reason for that?"
Lin Bufan was puzzled.
Sikong Qianluo said, "Because she's in a bad mood."
"Why? Did I knock her off the list?"
"No, it's because the list says you're her husband, and the whole of Beili is buzzing about it."
...
At Sikong Changfeng's residence, Li Hanyi slammed the list of top scholars onto Sikong Changfeng's desk.
“There is a spy. Someone in our Snowmoon City has malicious intentions and is leaking false information to Bai Xiaotang.”
"What's wrong? Is there a problem with this list?"
Sikong Changfeng picked it up and looked at it, squinting as he read it from top to bottom, from beginning to end, but he couldn't see anything wrong.
"Isn't this great? You're still on the top list. Hmm, there's been an increase in Lin Bufan, but he's ranked behind you. Aren't you happy about that?"
"Of course I'm not happy. Should I be happy? Bai Xiaosheng made up some nonsense in it, saying that Lin Bufan is my husband."
"Oh, so that's what it is."
Sikong Changfeng rubbed his forehead, indicating that it was his fault.
These days, Sikong Changfeng has gotten used to hearing Lei Wujie call Lin Bufan "brother-in-law" so often that he often subconsciously assumes that Li Hanyi and Lin Bufan are having an affair.
At this moment, she couldn't help but ask again, "Are you really okay with him? You've been spending a month together at Peach Blossom Garden, haven't you sparked anything?"
Li Hanyi wanted to draw her sword and stab Sikong Changfeng, but said, "What sparks? He and I are just ordinary sparring buddies."
"Oh..." Sikong Changfeng tilted his head slightly, "You even coined a new term, 'sparring sword friends'."
"You're making fun of me."
"Hehehe, I just think he's a good match for you, better than Zhao Yuzhen."
Sikong Changfeng stroked his chin. "If you were with Lin Bufan, my daughter would give up. Ever since Lin Bufan came to Snow Moon City, she hasn't gone anywhere and spends all her time around him."
"I understand now. You, Changfeng, are willing to betray me to a lecherous man just to prevent your daughter from being kidnapped."
Clang!
Without saying a word, Li Hanyi drew her sword.
Sikong Changfeng quickly raised his silver spear, "Let's talk this out."
"You dare to fight back?"
With a bang, the Still Water Sword Intent shone brightly, and half of Sikong Changfeng's pavilion collapsed.
The nearby Snowmoon City disciples exclaimed in surprise, "The Second City Lord and the Third City Lord are fighting again!"
