Both of them clashed like there was no tomorrow. Asura was enjoying the fight; this was the first time he had found such a perfect sparring partner. Kallu was also good as a sparring partner, but when he used his Battle skills or Spiritual attack on him, Asura could easily take advantage over Kallu. However, against this puppet, there was no such advantage.
Two days passed away fighting with the puppet, but the winner still had to be decided. Also, as time passed, Asura's strength started to decrease a little, but the puppet's strength remained the same. Nevertheless, Asura was still able to fight equally because his attack strength had increased. His Battle skill strength had increased by at least 20%, but due to continuous fighting, he was not able to exert its full strength. It was enough to deal with the Heaven-Breaking Fist of the puppet because the puppet's battle skill strength didn't increase at all, which was a relief for Asura.
But Asura wasn't happy because he knew that as time passed, he would get into a disadvantageous stage because the puppet was not exhausting. Now he understood how dangerous this pseudo-life-and-death match was.
In the outside world, Su Lin, Kallu, and Princess Moon were gathered again, hoping that Asura would return safely.
Su Lin was very worried. The first day, she was calm. On the second day, she was also calm. But today, now the third day, and there was no sign of Asura returning. Now she had started to worry, and that worry could be seen on her face.
Kallu also had a worried expression, but Princess Moon noticed something in Su Lin's worried face. She took Su Lin to a corner where Kallu couldn't hear them. Then she looked at Su Lin, who looked too tense and was now starting to sweat all over. She asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
"I am okay," Su Lin replied, but even a fool could see that she was not okay. Then Princess Moon thought of something and asked, "Are you in love with Asura?"
Su Lin's body jolted when she heard this question. Princess was surprised by Su Lin's reaction, and she confirmed that her guess was correct. So she asked directly, "Did you ever tell him?"
Su Lin was in a daze, thinking about whether to reply or not. The only people who knew she loved Asura were Rose and her master, but now Princess Moon also knew. So she decided not to hide this from Princess Moon and said, "I never told him or given him any hint that could make him think I love him. So, all he thinks about me is as a good friend."
Princess Moon asked, "Why not tell him directly? Are you afraid of something?"
Su Lin stammered, but after a few moments, she gathered her courage and said, "Yes, I am very afraid of telling him I love him. What if he rejected my love, and the worst part is that afterward, I will never be able to face him even if he doesn't dislike me and wants to remain good friends."
Princess Moon stared at her for a moment and said, "You're thinking too much. How could a man reject a woman like you who cares this much about him? Also, I've heard from Rose that you've helped him secretly many times. At first, I thought it was because of friendship, but now it looks like all that secret help was not just for friendship."
Su Lin felt a little embarrassed when hearing this from Princess Moon. She scolded Rose in her mind for giving this information to Princess Moon. However, she knew that Rose also trusted Princess Moon very much, and she now knew Princess Moon's real identity. So, she must have shared some of Su Lin's secrets with her.
Su Lin also knew that Rose would never tell Princess Moon about her love for Asura without her permission. However, Princess Moon was no ordinary person. She was not only talented but also had a very sharp mind. So, she was able to guess something from that information, and after seeing Su Lin's reaction, she confirmed her guess.
Princess Moon said, "Don't worry, I know he will not reject you."
Su Lin asked, "How can you be so certain?"
Princess Moon smiled and said, "Because he looks at you the same way he looks at me. One thing I've noticed is that he has a crush on me. You might be wondering how I know this, so I'll tell you in advance. I'm used to those types of gazes, and I can tell he has no bad intentions towards me. But those gazes can't hide a person's emotions, so I know he has a crush on me."
"Do you like Asura?" this time Su Lin asked. Princess Moon replied, "I see him as a friend, not more than that. So you don't have to worry that I'll steal him from you."
"I wasn't thinking about such a thing," Su Lin hurriedly said. But she felt relieved when she heard that Princess Moon had no interest in Asura because she knew Asura really had a crush on Princess Moon. If Princess Moon also had a crush on Asura, that would make Su Lin's situation a little awkward.
Princess Moon said with a serious face, "I'll give you advice: confess to Asura as soon as possible."
Su Lin was surprised and asked, "Why?"
Princess Moon said, "You know there is a person in the royal family who likes you a lot, and that person is going to ask the king for your hand in marriage."
Su Lin asked, "You mean the third prince?"
Princess Moon nodded and said, "You don't know the third prince's stubbornness. He will do anything to make things go according to his desires. If you don't confess to Asura, he will pursue you. But if you confess to Asura, I can guarantee that the king will not force you to marry the third prince, and the third prince will have to give up on his dream of marrying you."
