After hiding away the jealousy and hatred in her eyes, Lin Wanyue put on a gentle expression and looked at Baili Qingxue with a face as demure as water. "Qingxue… why don't I sit with Qingyan instead. I do like her quite a bit."
"That's right, that's right! God Baili, I'm willing to sit with Yun Qingyan too!"
"Me too!"
All those people who initially despised pairing with Yun Qingyan earlier suddenly came together to pair up with her.
Yun Qingyan flew about in the sky for a while, then decided to fly back down to the ground when she noticed that nobody in her team was moving yet.
Baili Qingxue noticed her come back down, so he flew up as lightly as a bird and landed steadily behind Yun Qingyan. His voice that was as distant and aloof as snow, yet clear and pure spoke from behind Yun Qingyan, "I'll pair up with you."
The sudden warm breath that came so close to her made Yun Qingyan nearly lose her grip and she almost fell off the Griffin.
Baili Qingxue quickly helped to steady her and his pretty brows were furrowed. "Don't lose your concentration."
He then took his hands back.
Wait a minute. Baili Qingxue was suddenly surprised by himself. After that incident, he hated the touch of anybody else, but… why didn't his body feel disgusted just then when he touched her?
After she was sure that the person behind her was really Baili Qingxue, Yun Qingyan's face scrounged up. She looked down at Lin Wanyue who was still below, and as expected, her eyes were filled with jealousy and disgust. When their eyes met, Lin Wanyue immediately changed her expression and smiled very gently at Yun Qingyan.
Tsk. Yun Qingyan's lips twitched into a mocking expression.
The people below couldn't see Lin Wanyue's expression, but they could see Yun Qingyan's clearly.
"Look at how smug she looks! She's obviously gotten a good deal and she's still pretending to look innocent."
"If she weren't so ugly and nobody wanted to pair up with her as a result, God Baili would never ride the same Griffin as her. What is she so smug about?"
The wind sent all the hateful and jealous comments into Yun Qingyan's ears. She raised an eyebrow, but all these words went into her left ear and came out her right ear.
It was all trash talk, so filtering through it was a waste of energy.
Only those girls would think that Baili Qingxue was someone worth fighting over.
"Are you sure you want to take the Griffin with me? Don't regret it." Yun Qingyan's lips curved into a smile as she looked at Baili Qingxue seated behind her, and that smile looked rather wicked.
Baili Qingxue gripped the Griffin harder. His first thought was that he was definitely going to be taken advantage of. He did his best to suppress those thoughts and his cold and aloof voice replied, "Ride the Griffin properly and don't think too much."
What was she thinking too much about? Yun Qingyan raised a thin eyebrow. Her deep black eyes were filled with cheekiness and her red lips curved into an even more malicious looking smile.
After a long time, everyone finally managed to get on their Griffins. Once the teacher gave the order, thousands of Griffins took flight at the same time.
Those who were new to riding Griffins just wanted to make sure they stayed on the beast, so they just went at a slow and steady pace. Those with experience rode right in front of the pack as they enjoyed the envious looks from the people behind them.
In no time, a gold flash immediately attracted everyone's attention.
One of the Griffins whooshed ahead like an arrow that had just been shot. The golden yellow fur shone brightly under the sunlight and it was bedazzling beyond compare.
That bright golden yellow was like a flash of lightning as it broke through all obstacles with a presence that did not allow any obstruction as it rose high into the sky.
But what would make everyone's jaw drop was yet to come.
The golden yellow Griffin started to perform somersaults and quick moves in the sky. Everyone was mesmerized by the variety of stunts and they felt like they were watching a circus performance as it brought out the rider's high-level riding techniques.
"Wooo!" The Griffin happily let out a long howl into the sky as it did a 180-degree spin. It made everyone feel so nervous and excited, and their hearts were about to leap out of their mouths.
Among the shocked crowd whose jaws had all dropped, one cry rang out loudly.
"What the hell?! You can actually ride a Griffin like that?!"
