After hearing this, everyone’s face was blank. But Chen Chang Sheng was a little surprised – the four and nine in this sentence obviously meant the ranks on the Honor Roll of Green Clouds. So Guan Fei Bai was ranked fourth, and Luo Luo was ranked ninth? He only saw the ranks of the Honor Roll of Green Clouds once on the wall outside of the Priest Academy and he didn’t exactly remember who was ranked ninth.
“In the inn outside of the Mausoleum of the Books, I told you, besides Xu You Rong, on the Honor Roll of Green Clouds, there are two other people that I don’t want to bother.”
Tang Thirty Six said near him, “One is the wolf bo in the north and the other was… the mysterious girl. Of course, she is not mysterious to you at all, so…..this thing isn’t interesting as I thought it would be. By the way, when can you let me show off a bit.”
Chen Chang Sheng now recalled, Tang Thirty Six had mentioned that there was a mysterious girl from Yao race whose rank was even higher than that of Zhuang Huan Yu on the Honor Roll of Green Clouds. Even then, many people had guessed it that that girl should be the princess of Yao. Then he remembered, at the first night of the Ivy Festival, he asked Luo Luo how she knew Zhuang Huan Yu and Luo Luo responded by saying that because her position was so close to Zhuang Huan Yu, it would be hard to not know him.
What position? Now, he understood. She obviously wasn’t referring to geographic location because the neighborhood of the Herb Garden was the Tradition Academy, not the Heavenly Academy.
Position was the position on the Honor Roll of Green Clouds.
No matter how little Luo Luo cared about secular things, she would still know the person’s name right below her on the Honor Roll of Green Clouds.
Chen Chang Sheng then realized why one as arrogant as Tang Thirty Six would leave Guan Fei Bai to Luo Luo.
Luo Luo’s expression didn’t change. Holding the handle of the Falling Rain Whip with her right hand, she looked at Guan Fei Bai and said, “If one only looked at the rankings, then why would we even need to hold the Ivy Festival and what is the meaning of the Great Trial? To determine who’s stronger or weaker, after all, requires a fight. Otherwise, how could Tang Thirty Six defeat your youngest junior?”
Guan Fei Bai said indifferently, “That’s only because someone helped.”
Hearing this, Tang Thirty Six got furious and yelled, “Sounds like your senior doesn’t have a mouth!”
Gou Han Shi extended his hand to signal Guan Fei Bai to stop. He looked at Luo Luo and said calmly, “What princess said is reasonable.”
Then he turned around to Guan Fei Bai and said, “Junior, try your best in the fight. Please don’t let the reputation of our sect down.”
Guan Fei Bai no longer spoke a word. After thinking quietly for a while, he took out his sword, looked at Luo Luo and said, “Princess, please enlighten.”
Although the Great Zhou was strong and the capital was big, amongst the young generation, only Xu You Rong could beat this person. If he was only arrogant and angry all the time, how could he be one of the core disciples of Li Mountain and how could he be one of the Seven Rulings?
As he held onto his sword, he suddenly calmed down and all of his arrogance disappeared.
The arrogance all fused into his sword.
It was a very common sword.
Of course, the Li Mountain Sword Sect cared a lot about talented disciples such as Guan Fei Bai. Even if they didn’t treat him like Qi Jian by gifting him the Iron Rule, they definitely had presented him with an extremely sharp sword, but he didn’t accept it. He insisted to use this common sword because he had sworn that before he surpassed the oldest senior, Qiu Shan Jun, he would never switch swords.
Everyone knew Qiu Shan Jun’s sword was called Reverse Scale, but only his close schoolmates knew that the sword their oldest senior used was actually very common. It was made by a regular blacksmith on the bottom of Li Mountain and was worth only three silver coins.
He viewed his oldest senior Qiu Shan Jun as his role model, and a goal that he must transcend, so he only wanted to use a common sword.
The sword was common, but the person wasn’t. The people standing on the staircase looked at Guan Fei Bai as he slowly walked to the center of the square. Their expressions changed.
As he walked forward, the arrogant and cold young elite’s aura gradually became calm and soft, but the sword in his hand became stronger and stronger.
He stored all of his spirit into the sword.
“Don’t you worry?”
Tang Thirty Six looked at Chen Chang Sheng’s face, seeing that his expression didn’t change, he felt a bit surprised. Only by looking at the steps Guan Fei Bai took as he walked into the center of the square, only by looking at his ability to store qi into his sword, Tang Thirty Six knew that he definitely couldn’t beat him. Although Princess Luo Luo’s ranked was higher than his, did she have a chance of defeating him?
