Chapter 48: Opponent
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Kong Rui slowly walked back to the Li family’s residence.
She calculated carefully. If the Li family’s patriarch was angry enough to lock her in the Li family’s ancestral hall for a night to reflect upon herself, that would be the best!
Kong Rui had been searching the Li family’s home for the past few days, but she couldn’t find the Li family’s secret technique that the queen had used to extract her phoenix essence.
It was impossible for the Li family’s inheritance to be hidden in the palace. The only possibility was that it was hidden in the Li family’s ancestral hall!
The ancestral hall was a forbidden area of the Li family. Other than the patriarch, no one was allowed to enter.
Even Li Ling’s father couldn’t go there casually.
Kong Rui thought for a long time but couldn’t think of a way to enter. Even though she represented the Li family in the Beast Fighting Tournament, the patriarch didn’t let her enter the ancestral hall.
However, she had offended the queen and the princess this time.
From how angry the Li family’s patriarch was, the punishment was probably unavoidable. However, the competition was imminent, so the patriarch definitely wouldn’t punish her physically. The most likely outcome was that she would be sent to the ancestral hall to reflect on her mistakes!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe more Kong Rui thought about it, the more she felt that she could probably search for secret techniques in the ancestral hall without restraint today!
As long as she found the secret technique, she would definitely be able to snatch back the phoenix essence that belonged to her!
Kong Rui’s eyes shone with determination, but in the next moment, they were replaced with impatience.
Kong Rui looked at the group of people walking towards her and her expression turned ugly. “Why did I have to encounter such a group of people?!”
Kong Rui planned to leave this place, but someone couldn’t bear to see her having it easy.
“Isn’t that Li Ling?! Why did she leave when she saw us?!” A sweet voice sounded from afar, causing everyone around and look at Kong Rui.
Kong Rui took a deep breath before standing still.
Forget it!
Since she was pretending to be Li Ling, there were some things she had to deal with before the big plan was completed.
Kong Rui turned to look at the person who had stopped her. “Why did you call me?”
Fu Jiao took a few steps forward. “You left in a hurry before the competition ended. Is there something urgent?”
Kong Rui saw the few people behind Fu Jiao and frowned imperceptibly. “It’s nothing. The Patriarch told me to go back and rest early.”
“That’s true. You’re the one who’s going to fight the princess! We really admire your courage!” Fu Jiao said with a smile, but her tone was filled with schadenfreude.
Kong Rui ignored Fu Jiao’s provocation. “It’s just a beast battle. What’s the big deal?!”
“Good lord! You sound so cocky!” The thin and tall man standing beside Fu Jiao suddenly said.
Kong Rui narrowed her eyes at the person and asked, “Who are you?”
That person was stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect Kong Rui to ask him so bluntly. Just as he was about to speak, Fu Jiao interrupted, “He’s the second young master of the Lei family, my fiancé!”
As Fu Jiao spoke, she raised her chin slightly in a proud manner.
When Lei Peng heard Fu Jiao’s words, he smiled in satisfaction.
“Oh! It’s the second young master of the Lei family who can’t enter the competition and can only watch!” Kong Rui said indifferently, angering Lei Peng.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe knew that his brother had been defeated by this woman today. He had wanted to use this opportunity to insult her, but he didn’t expect her to be so eloquent!
Lei Peng gritted his teeth. “Don’t think that you can have the last laugh just because you won a match!”
“Tomorrow, you’ll be dead meat when you face off against the princess’ phoenix!” Lei Peng said confidently, as if he could predict the future.
Kong Rui wasn’t angered by Lei Peng’s words at all. She only looked at Fu Jiao and said, “Did the Hua family choose you as their opponent today?”
At the mention of this, Fu Jiao felt enraged.
She didn’t know what was wrong with Hua Shang, but he actually chose her as his opponent in the next round!
This was too different from the usual outcome of the five major families entering the finals together every year!
This year, the Lei family was defeated by the Li family in the first match.
In the second round, between the Hua family and the Fu family, one of them would definitely be eliminated!
Fu Jiao knew that her strength was far inferior to Hua Shang’s. She would definitely be defeated in tomorrow’s competition!
Seeing Fu Jiao’s vexed expression, Kong Rui knew that she had guessed correctly.
Hua Shang was quite an interesting person. If there was a chance, she really had to spar with him!
