"Xue Ke, are you in such a hurry? If you lose to me, wouldn't that be quite embarrassing for you?"
Tang San was so confident in himself, he firmly believed he would definitely defeat the other party.
"Then let's find a place to compare our skills. How about we go to the back mountain?"
"Do you dare, Xue Ke?"
At this point, Tang San wore a mischievously smiling expression.
Facing Tang San's question, Xue Ke appeared very calm, not afraid of any challenge from the other side!
She had sufficient strength to defeat her opponent.
"Of course, how could I possibly refuse? Such a good opportunity is not to be missed," she said, smiling sweetly.
"Hiss—!"
It had been quite some time since the last fight!
Ever since Tang San arrived at Moon Pavilion Academy, he had hardly spent any time practicing his soul skills, instead focusing on cultivating his heartstrings and inner self!
To fulfill his father's wishes, Tang San had barely managed to complete his education!
"Xue Ke, where are you going now?" came a sudden familiar voice from behind.
Xue Ke turned her head and saw it was her brother, Avalanche, also known as Prince Xue Qinghe.
She hadn't expected her brother to be following her.
A look of confusion appeared on her face as she saw her own brother.
Perhaps Prince Xue Qinghe had found out!
The meeting she had arranged with Tang San to fight at the back mountain was just discovered by Avalanche.
This was somewhat awkward.
"Brother, didn't you say you planned on returning early? Why are you still here?" Xue Ke asked with a smile.
She spoke and moved to Avalanches' side.
Avalanche looked at his adorable little sister coming to his side and raised his hands to caress her cheeks.
"How could I bear to leave my dear sister? I wanted to come over and see more of you, didn't I?" he said with his face full of smiles.
Standing to the side, Tang San felt like an unnecessary third wheel seeing the siblings together.
But Tang San felt his skin was thick enough that it didn't affect him at all!
The fight still had to happen!
Very few knew my identity, even though Avalanche was Uncle Ning's disciple. I should resolve the matter at hand first, he thought.
Prince Xue Qinghe of the Tiandou Empire, Your Highness Crown Prince.
"Greetings, Your Highness Crown Prince," Tang San said, promptly greeting him.
He saw the Crown Prince staring at him with an incredibly icy gaze.
At the same time, ten thousand "fuck!" surged in his mind.
But he couldn't show it.
He had to stay cool.
He was the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire, after all. He had to keep his composure.
"Hmm, so you're Tang San," Prince Xue Qinghe said, already well aware that this was indeed Tang San, and that his relationship with Ye Feng was far from good—they were even enemies.
He knew this, but today he had appeared here as the Crown Prince.
He had to maintain the demeanor of a Crown Prince.
"Where are you two going?" inquired Prince Xue Qinghe.
Both of them wore puzzled looks and glanced at each other.
"Brother, I'm going to test my skills against Tang San. Surely you're not against it," said Xue Ke.
"Even if you oppose us, it won't stop me from defeating Tang San."
"Today, I have to deal with Tang San personally, no matter what."
From Xue Ke's eyes, it was clear that she viewed Tang San with utter hatred.
She had already declared she would defeat or even dispose of Tang San!
Upon hearing this, the corners of Prince Xue Qinghe's mouth lifted slightly.
"Little sister, are you sure you can handle Tang San in a sparring match? With your current strength, it's not impossible, but personally, I don't think it's necessary," he said.
Because Prince Xue Qinghe already had an answer in his heart, there was no need for his little sister to take action.
Tang San watched as the siblings whispered to each other.
A look of perplexity spread across his face.
He really couldn't understand what the other party was talking about, it was simply a waste of time.
"If you truly wish to spar, it's not impossible, but I'm not worth your effort."
"It's a waste of time and experience, you'd better go back and rest early instead. If you want to spar with Tang San, you can only wait for another time."
Prince Xue Qinghe said.
After finishing his words, he slowly walked up to Tang San.
"I've long heard from my little sister about the emerging young talent from Moon Pavilion; it seems you're as outstanding as rumored. Brother Tang San, if you ever have free time, could we exchange knowledge on playing the zither?"
Prince Xue Qinghe asked.
He could certainly keep his cool, otherwise, given his other temperament, he would've already fallen out with the opponent.
Not giving the other party any face at all.
"I'm afraid I don't have the time to exchange knowledge with Your Highness Crown Prince, today's schedule is completely booked."
"I hope you can understand, Your Highness, I've been extremely busy lately with no spare time. Postponing till next time won't be too late."
Tang San immediately responded.
Tang San actually dared to refuse Your Highness Crown Prince. Wasn't he afraid of getting beaten up?
This kid's got some nerve!
"Oh? Is that so? Well, if you don't have time, we'll do it next time. Whenever you can make time to teach me, it's never too late, as long as one is willing to learn,"
Prince Xue Qinghe said with a very even tone.
Xue Ke watched the two of them converse.
Confusion was written all over her face.
Weren't they supposed to fight? How did they end up chatting instead?
"Brother, stop it. I've decided I want to spar with Tang San. Just watch from the side."
Xue Ke spoke directly to Prince Xue Qinghe.
"Ssshhh—!"
Soul rings lit up.
Tang San's eyes widened as he saw Xue Ke release her Soul Rings.
At that moment, he also couldn't hold back.
He also lit up his own Soul Rings.
He couldn't lose to the opponent in momentum, nor could he lose in soul skill!
Tang San's eyes filled with a fierce fire.
The fight hadn't even started, and his anger was almost exploding!
He could hardly wait any longer.
"Should I leave for a while to avoid affecting your performance?"
Prince Xue Qinghe spoke.
Somehow, his words sounded a bit strange.
"No need to leave. Just stand aside and watch. It's fine; we won't harm you,"
Xue Ke said.
"Come on, Xue Ke, make your move. Stop dillydallying. Do you dare to spar with me or not? If it's too much for you, then forget it. I can leave right now; I still have lots of things to take care of."
Tang San spoke at this moment.
He was becoming somewhat impatient.
"Brother Tang San, my sister has clearly expressed her desire to spar with you. You can rest assured she won't refuse."
Prince Xue Qinghe said.
And he certainly wouldn't hold back.
Prince Xue Qinghe looked at him with a smiling face!
His words had a profound implication!
Originally, he had not wished for his sister to fight Tang San, but seeing Tang San's extremely annoying and conceited demeanor,
He grew more and more displeased with the other party, even wanting to beat him up personally,
To resolve the dissatisfaction in his heart.
"You really are Xue Ke's brother, Your Highness; you understand her very well,"
Tang San quickly said.
He withdrew his Soul Rings!
The Soul Rings were no longer released.
Xue Ke looked at Tang San with disbelief.
Was he not planning to spar anymore? The other party had already taken back their Soul Rings!
