The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler

Chapter 1179: Confession

Liang Xiaoxiao spoke in a very straightforward manner, clearly not planning to give Liu Yintong any face. This was only because her ranking on the warrior list was 39th—it was much higher than that of Liu Yintong!

One had to know that the competition on the Qing Yun Ranking was very intense. Every single improvement in position meant that the person was much stronger than the previous one. Liu Yintong naturally didn’t dare to offend Liang Xiaoxiao casually.

Of course, there was another reason behind it: Liang Xiaoxiao was from an aristocratic family, and her background was much better than that of Liu Yintong, who was from a second-tier family.

Even if everyone rarely talked about their backgrounds in the academy, it didn’t mean that they could actually ignore it. After all, they wouldn’t stay in the academy for the rest of their lives.

These were problems they had to face when they left the academy and had to survive in the God Residence Realm. If they offended some of these people with backgrounds, their future days wouldn’t be easy.

Thus, Liu Yintong—who always had a fiery temper—didn’t rage when someone gave her a cold face. Her facial expression even became more polite. “Um… May I know who that person is? I can use points to exchange—”

As if hearing some joke, Liang Xiaoxiao suddenly covered her lips and laughed. “Points? Do you think we’re people who lack them?”

Her tone was light as if she were teasing Liu Yintong, but the latter found it very jarring.

It wasn’t that Liang Xiaoxiao and the rest truly didn’t lack points. The importance of points was understood by all in Ling Xiao Academy—nobody would think that they have too many points. It was just that in comparison, they had no need to exchange points for such matters.

It was beneath their status.

This sentence was also to mock Liu Yintong.

Liu Yintong was also in a difficult spot. Who would’ve thought that I would meet this bunch of people on the first day? They normally don ‘t come here, but for some reason, they all came over today! Besides, they have occupied all the seats here, not even giving me a chance! I don’t want to offend these fewpeople, but there is a Chu Yue who keeps forcing me from behind…

Just when Liu Yintong was planning how to speak up again, Liang Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up as she waved to someone behind Liu Yintong. “Zhiyuan, come quickly! We’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”

Hearing this voice, the crowd present looked over.

Liu Yintongs heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly turned around. When she saw the incoming person, her expression immediately became ugly. Jiang Zhiyuan?! The person Liang Xiaoxiao said who had yet to come was her?

Jiang Zhiyuan’s movement technique was light as she floated down. Under the moonlight, she looked somewhat like a fairy descending.

The venue fell silent, and quite a few people seemed amazed.

However, Jiang Zhiyuan completely didn’t notice these gazes as she walked straight to the few people, slightly smiled, and said, “Sorry that I came late. I was about to come when I suddenly understood some matters in cultivation. Thus, I came late.” Liang Xiaoxiao smiled widely. “You’re going to break through again?” Jiang Zhiyuan blushed slightly and shook her head. “Not so fast.”

“That means it’s still fast!” Liang Xiaoxiao and the rest exchanged glances.

“Look at you—you just broke through not too long ago, right? In the blink of an eye, you’re quick to break through again! If this continues, we’ll be completely suppressed by you! We won’t play with you in the future!”

“Yeah! Zhiyuan, when you cultivate, can you consider other people’s feelings!? My heart has been crushed into pieces by you!”

“Haha! Zhiyuan wants to catch up with Senior Brother Rong Xiu. She’s not somebody you can compete with!” The last young man’s unintentional sentence caused the originally bustling crowd to fall into an awkward silence.

Jiang Zhiyuan’s smile froze for a moment before it became much fainter.

Liang Xiaoxiao glanced at the man who had no brain. “Senior Brother Rong Xiu is extremely strong and ranks at the top on two of the four Qing Yun Ranking lists! Who doesn’t have him as their target in the academy? What’s there to talk about that?”

That man hurriedly said, “Yeah, yeah! I meant that too! But Rong Xiu is still a rare top talent. Normal people can’t even be compared with him.”

Jiang Zhiyuan lightly said, “Of course… he’s the best. How do I deserve to be compared with him?”

The crowd exchanged glances, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward.

Everybody in the academy knew that Jiang Zhiyuan was completely devoted to Rong Xiu. Even if Rong Xiu had already left when she entered the academy, and he rarely ever came back afterward, everyone was well-aware of her relationship with Rong Xiu.

Everyone thought that she would be Rong Xiu’s princess consort. Who knew—

Liang Xiaoxiao’s eyes turned, and she had a natural flirtatious look to her. “Hey, what’s the use of talking about that? Zhiyuan, you haven’t come to Million Wine Mountain in a while, right? Quickly, come! This fountain seems to be sweeter than before!”

Jiang Zhiyuan forced a smile. Just as she was about to walk over, she saw Liu Yintong standing at the side from the corner of her eyes.

Hatred quickly flashed across her eyes. “Liu Yintong? Why are you here?”

Liu Yintong secretly felt that it was too easy to bump into enemies. I actually have to see Jiang Zhiyuan out of everyone else! It’s all my fault for being too careless. Liang Xiaoxiao and the rest have always been on good terms with JiangZhiyuan. When T saw the few of them earlier, I should’ve thought of this. IfI immediately left, it would show that I was in the wrong and that I

felt guilty.

“Can’t everyone come to Million Wine Mountain?” Liu Yintong asked in return.

Jiang Zhiyuan pulled at her lips without much smiling intent. “That’s true. Then… Do as you wish.’

She then walked forward and didn’t even give the other party an additional gaze. It was as if she didn’t even take Liu Yintong to heart.

Liu Yintong secretly felt enraged as she turned around to leave. But the moment she took a few steps out, someone stopped her.

“Senior Sister Liu, where are you going?” Chu Liuyue stood before her, raised an arm, and blocked her path. “You haven ‘t completed what you promised me before.”

Liu Yintong was extremely frustrated. ‘[Today doesn’t count! We can talk about everything tomorrow!”

As she spoke, she was about to leave.

However, Chu Liuyue blocked her tightly and didn’t give her a chance to walk forward. “Senior Sister Liu, I’m really sorry, but I don’t wish to wait for tomorrow. If you delay tomorrow to the day after, or three days later… What does this bet count for?”

Liu Yintong clenched her teeth. “I said tomorrow!”

Chu Liuyue’s gaze shuffled between her and Jiang Zhiyuan. It seems like the two of them have a deep grudge… I didn ‘t expect to directly bump into them today. The opposing fewpeople seem to be rather capable. It’s no wonder Liu Yintong wants to leave. Ifshe stays, she will be humiliated for nothing. However, I don’t plan on caring about these things. Ijust want Liu Yintong to fulfill her part of the deal.

“Senior Sister Liu, I also said that I don’t want to wait till tomorrow.” Chu Liuyue’s tone became more serious.

Right at this point, Liang Xiaoxiao’s playful laugh sounded from the side. “Yo, Liu Yintong, have you reached a state where you’ll be bullied by a junior brother? Thinking about how you confessed to Senior Brother Rong Xiu in public back then, you were so amazing. How did you become like this now?”.
