"Hongzhuang, who is this person? How can they speak so rudely?"
Xia Zhiqing furrowed her brows. The way the person spoke seemed to imply that Hongzhuang was afraid of Nangong Yue'er.
It appeared to give Hongzhuang some room to choose, but in reality, there was no choice at all!
Hongzhuang narrowed her eyes, a glimmer of wisdom shining through. "This person should be a mentor from Lingyin Academy. I heard that we were blocked outside the academy before because a mentor wanted to assert dominance over us. It's highly likely that it's this person."
Xia Zhiqing suddenly realized that she had heard this news too, from cultivators of Beihai Academy.
It was clear that the other side wanted to mock them through this opportunity, and they were well aware of the situation.
Jian Qingqiu's face showed a hint of difficulty. As the principal, he disliked unexpected occurrences in formal occasions the most.
Initially, Nangong Yue'er's tantrum was already bad enough, but now Ruan Yulong had brought the situation to this extent. Jian Qingqiu couldn't easily refuse anymore.
After all, Ruan Yulong was a mentor from Canglan Academy.
"Hongzhuang, do you have the courage to step forward?"
Nangong Yue'er raised her chin, a proud and provocative expression in her eyes. She was confident that she surpassed Hongzhuang in both background and strength.
Regardless of what seductive means Hongzhuang used to attract Mo Yunjue, she wouldn't let Hongzhuang succeed.
"Do Hongzhuang and Princess San have any conflicts? Why specifically target Hongzhuang?"
"I don't know. Maybe excellent women are naturally jealous of each other, so it's possible that they want to deal with Hongzhuang."
"You guys don't know. I heard that Hongzhuang is Mo Yunjue's wife, and Princess San likes Mo Yunjue. Now that they're meeting as love rivals, Princess San must be feeling extra jealous!"
As one informed person revealed the true reason, astonishment appeared in everyone's eyes. It was truly surprising.
"Is it true?"
"Of course, it's true. I saw Mo Gongzi call Hongzhuang 'wife' with my own eyes that day."
...
Compared to Nangong Yue'er's arrogant provocation, Hongzhuang remained calm and indifferent.
"Since Princess San wishes to have a match with me, I naturally don't mind."
Jian Qingqiu couldn't help but look at Huanchu You beside him, his expression carrying a hint of helplessness. "Huanchu, what do you think about this matter?"
Huanchu You still had a calm demeanor. After glancing at Hongzhuang, he replied, "Since they volunteered, let them go."
Jian Qingqiu nodded slightly, his face looking slightly better.
"Now that both Nangong Yue'er and Hongzhuang have agreed, let Hongzhuang step onto the martial stage. Xia Zhiqing, you will face Nanyang Ze in the fourth match!"
"Boss, defeat her!"
Xia Zhiqing's eyes gleamed with unwavering confidence. She was only worried that Nangong Yue'er would suddenly challenge their boss, feeling that there might be some tricks involved.
"Hongzhuang, please be careful!"
Zhan Yunfeng and others voiced their concerns, worry filling their eyes, yet they firmly believed in Hongzhuang's strength.
So far, Hongzhuang's every performance had left them amazed, and they believed this time would be no exception!
They didn't care about Nangong Yue'er being the esteemed Third Princess; as long as she was an opponent, they would defeat her without hesitation!
