The cold look on Ye Yunji’s face dissipated as he thought about Gu Fenghua and his expression turned soft gradually.
Everyone thought she was a vulnerable little thing that relied on her older brothers. That was such a deep misunderstanding.
Ye Yunji could not help smiling when he thought about how Gu Fenghua put Zhong Wanying in her place.
Fenghua, oh Fenghua… He could not wait for the days to come.
Even though the freshmen exercise had ended for a few days, someone remained furious with no one to take her anger out on. It was none other than the third princess, Lu Tonglian.
All the humiliation she had suffered during the exercise kept leaping to her mind. How could Lu Tonglian take it lying down?
She could not afford to embarrass herself by challenging Gu Fenghua in a duel. Everyone knew Gu Fenghua could not practice martial arts. So if she publicly challenged Gu Fenghua and taught her a lesson, it was as good as bullying the weak. It would be a disgrace for the royal family.
Despite the potential fallout, she could not leave Gu Fenghua in peace. Lu Tonglian almost went bonkers when she learned that Gu Fenghua and Ye Yunji suddenly became close.
Lu Tonglian loved Gu Fenghua’s oldest brother, but she revered Ye Yunji as well.
Lu Tonglian keenly remembered the time when all the royalty gathered at a mountain lodge when she was eight and ran into assassins. The men in black fighting gear seemed like spawn from hell as they killed the maids and guards ruthlessly. Just as a sword was about to strike her head, Ye Yunji turned up before her like a god after coming home from his trip.
The sword in Ye Yunji’s hand seemed to take on a life of its own as it gleamed menacingly. His moves were incredible and his gorgeous face was expressionless as blood scattered on it and gave him an unusually seductive aura. He kept attacking the assassins until all of them fell and he had saved everyone.
Ye Yunji was like an untouchable god in Lu Tonglian’s heart. She admired him a lot. How could she stand it when he treated Gu Fenghua differently?
Lu Tonglian kept trying to get Gu Fenghua into trouble, but never succeeded. Despite this, she never once gave up, so she was considered a determined woman. This time, Lu Tonglian felt that her time had finally come.
An academy from a neighboring country suddenly suggested holding an interschool martial arts tournament for their freshmen and Celestial Academy had agreed. This meant that only freshmen were allowed to take part in the tournament and participation was compulsory.
Guanghua was a nearby country that was slightly stronger than Xinghua. Owing to some shared roots, they kept close ties and never fought each other. Marriages between the countries were also common.
The number one school in Guanghua was Illustrious Academy. Since both schools were very friendly with each other, they often sent exchange students to each other’s schools.
The moment news about the martial arts tournament got out, the entire school was in a furor since it was a rare and grand affair. Even though both academies occasionally swapped pointers with each other, they had never conducted such a huge scale and official event before.
They also announced that influential people would be watching the tournament as well. Both academy principals and even Xinghua’s emperor would grace the event. Other than prizes, they stood to gain the attention of bigshots and might end up being taken as subordinates or disciples for performing well.
Everyone held the event with high regard.
Lu Tonglian looked forward to the event as well. She had already made plans.
