Gui Qinshao, on the sword platform, was taken aback when she noticed Ling Ao rising to leave and then beckoned to him directly.
Amidst countless envious gazes, Ling Ao walked up to the sword platform and approached Gui Qinshao.
"My competition hasn't begun yet. Why are you leaving?" Gui Qinshao's voice carried a certain intimacy, yet it also conveyed a commanding tone.
Due to his exceptional talent and appearance, Ling Ao had long been in the City Lord's residence since the age of ten, receiving training from Gui Xingfu.
Hence, Gui Qinshao and Ling Ao grew up together.
After turning thirteen, Ling Ao, together with Gui Qinshao, became disciples under the Sword Master and subsequently entered the Royal City Academy.
Because she was so beautiful and proud, and with a domineering personality, Gui Qinshao didn't have very good interpersonal relationships.
