n“I didn’t say anything!” Freak said cautiously while looking at Leng Ruoxue pitifully. He even glanced at everyone with watery eyes, making it difficult for them not to feel pity. But his heart was overjoyed. Fortunately, we came out late. If we came out earlier, no one would have seen us! Hehe!

n“Do you still need to say it?!” Leng Ruoxue roared angrily. He was obviously deliberately attracting attention but also pretending to be submissive. Anyone who saw Freak like this would definitely think that she did something to him.

n

n

n“Xue’er, you’ve grown up. Grandpa is very open-minded, and you two are engaged. Hehe, you don’t have to be embarrassed!” Leng Qingtian knew that his granddaughter was shy, so he quickly comforted her. But his words only made her angrier.

n“Grandpa, I told you we didn’t do anything!” Leng Ruoxue stressed. Why doesn’t Grandpa believe me? Boohoo…

n“Yes, yes. Grandpa knows that you didn’t do anything. Grandpa understands,” Leng Qingtian said perfunctorily.

n“But Xue’er, you have to be responsible for Ye Chen!” Leng Qingtian added.

n

n

n“Yes, that’s right.” Ye Chen nodded in agreement. She should have been responsible for me a long time ago. I’m so happy that Grandpa is so sensible.

nLeng Ruoxue was speechless. She directly grabbed hold of Freak’s collar and dragged him back into her room. Immediately after, the room was full of banging sounds…

n“So intense? Can Deputy Leader Ye take it?” Feng Da murmured curiously. The others had the same thought.

n“Let’s leave first! Or else Xue’er will be shy again when she comes out,” Leng Qingtian said thoughtfully.

n

n

n“Yeah.” Hide quickly, leave, disperse!

nWith that, everyone quickly dispersed.

nIn the room.

nHmph! Since they all think I did something, wouldn’t it be such a loss if I didn’t do anything? With this thought in mind, Leng Ruoxue angrily pushed him onto the bed, threw herself on top of him, and ripped open his clothes…

nFreak was pinned down by Xue’er, and his face was full of anticipation. He kept shouting in his heart, Come on, take me! But after he waited for a long time, Xue’er didn’t take any further action.

n“Xue’er,” Freak called out softly, anticipating…

n

n

n“Ah!” Leng Ruoxue, who had calmed down, hurriedly stood up when she saw what she was doing. Her face was burning, and her heart was thumping non-stop. Damn it! Why was I so impulsive? I almost fell for Freak’s trick. But to be honest, Freak is indeed very attractive, but he’s also very troublesome.

n“Xue’er, how can you do this to me?” Seeing that his plan to entice her had failed again, Freak sat up reluctantly. Why is Xue’er so strong-willed? How distressing!

n“Hurry up and fix your clothes! We should go out,” Leng Ruoxue said when she saw his disheveled clothes.

n“You were the one who tore my clothes apart.” Freak looked at Leng Ruoxue aggrievedly and casually adjusted his clothes.

n“Make it look better. You can’t go out like this,” Leng Ruoxue yelled. If Freak were to go out like this, she wouldn’t be able to clear her name no matter what she said. But she didn’t know yet that she could no longer clear her name now.

n“Xue’er, you’re bullying me!” Freak accused seriously while adjusting his clothes.

n“When did I bully you? Don’t wrong me.

n“Hurry up and go out! They’re getting anxious from waiting,” Leng Ruoxue said when she saw that Freak had sorted out his clothes.

n

n

nWhen the two of them walked out of the room for the second time, there was no one in the corridor. “Where is everyone? Did they all leave?”

n“No, we’re still here!” At this moment, the people who had been waiting for a long time suddenly emerged from who knows where.

n“Lass, let’s go since you’re done!” Elder Qiu said very considerately with a wretched smile on his face. Young people should be so passionate. Hehe, it’s good to be young!

n“We didn’t do anything!” they said in unison.

n“Ah, yes. You didn’t do anything. Let’s go now!” Elder Qiu cleverly stopped bringing it up, lest they became shy.

n…

nBy the time everyone arrived at the competition venue, it was already crowded.

nElder Qiu brought Leng Ruoxue and the others to the main stage to draw lots.

n“Elder Qiu, you’re finally here. We’ve been waiting for you,” Elder Wang of the Rising Dragon Academy said when he saw Elder Qiu.

n“Sorry I’m late.”

n“Referee, can we start drawing lots now?” Elder Wang asked.

n“Alright, everyone is here.” The referee took out the prepared box and placed it in front of them.

nSoon, all ten people had their opponents for the first battle.

n

n

nLeng Ruoxue’s first opponent was Lin Yuan. Ye Chen’s opponent was Ye Xiao from the Rising Dragon Academy. Feng Moran’s opponent was Di Fei from the Flying Bird Academy. Huo Qing’s opponent was Pang Sen from the Lunar Shadow Academy. And Feng Da’s opponent was Mu Li.

nWhen it was time for the matches, the referees gave the order, and the battles officially began.

nIn the first match of the individual competition, Feng Da and Mu Li were the first to go on stage. After going on stage, Feng Da chose to admit defeat, and Mu Li won without even fighting.

nLeng Ruoxue and Lin Yuan were the second to go on stage. After going on stage, Lin Yuan also chose to admit defeat. This way, there were only three of the first day’s five matches left.

n“Hey, what’s going on? Why did they admit defeat so quickly?” someone below the stage couldn’t help whispering.

n“Is this a strategy of the Heavenly Phoenix Academy?”

nSeeing this scene, the spectators below the stage couldn’t help discussing spiritedly.

n“Ye Chen versus Ye Xiao,” the referee announced.

nYe Chen and Ye Xiao walked onto stage from the two sides.

n“Are you from the Ye family?” Ye Xiao asked curiously. He had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but he hadn’t had the chance.

n“No,” Ye Chen said indifferently.

n“Then I won’t be polite,” Ye Xiao said confidently. If he were a member of the Ye family, he might have shown mercy.
