Chapter 88: Fair and Square

“Wait! What are you doing, woman? Let go of him, the plot will crumble if you do this, you dumb woman!!! At least warn me before you do something so reckless!” Chen Yi protected his eyes on time as he yelled at Yun Shu, who pretended not to listen to him.

“Host, you don’t have much time to stay in this world any longer. Please hurry up and complete the quest.” Chen Yi reminded Yun Shu as she came back to reality.

“I know. You don’t need to repeat it again and again.” Yun Shu replied with an absent minded tone.

All the fun and memories she shared with her precious ones will end here, there was nothing she should be regretful for.

Even so, a corner of her heart seemed to be quench in pain that she shouldn’t have, and couldn’t endure.

Yun Shu intended to sneak a peek at Bai Yunxian again, only to get caught red-handed. She didn’t expected Bai Yunxian to stare at her either.

Bai Yunxian seemed to have been staring at her from a while ago.

’Damn! It’s so embarrassing!’

After catching Yun Shu’s eyes, Bai Yunxian also smiled brightly as he nodded his head and waved his hand at her. Since he was in the middle of the crowd, others wouldn’t feel something wasn’t right between them as long as they didn’t do something ambiguous.

That one smile from Bai Yunxian struck Yun Shu hard as she turned petrified, unable to think straight.

’Did he come down to seduce me?’

Yun Shu wanted to bang her head into something because of the wild imagination going on inside her head, and watching this couples awkward interaction, Chen Yi’s face turned gloomy.

I know that it’s your first phase of love, but it doesn’t mean you need to act so coy!

Though he was annoyed, since he was on the verge of upgrade, he didn’t interfere in this and just let them be.

I don’t know how long will those two need to remember everything, whatever it is, it’s fine as long as they stay together like this.

The match continued as Jiao Zhan faced Shen Xia. Even if both of them were trained under the same instructor and training for the sake of having a fair match, Jiao Zhan had the ground for physical training and endurance, which was a great advantage in his side.

Shen Xia pulled out all the talismans and sealed Jiao Zhan’s movements, after that, he used various type of talismans to attack over and over again to get a hold on Jiao Zhan.

However, Jiao Zhan was able to tear off the power of sealing talisman, which made it possible for him to avoid all the other attacks and grow close to Shen Xia physically while keeping a steady pace.

Shen Xia pulled a speed talisman to avoid Jiao Zhan who was getting closer, but didn’t get enough time to tear it as Jiao Zhan grabbed the latter by his throat and lifted him up on the air, punched his face a few times to make it into a smashed potato, and threw him out of the stage.

“Student Jiao, you went too far!” One of the Teacher stood up to seek justice as he slammed his hand on the table.

“Even if he is your opponent, you don’t have to throw him away like a bag of flour!”

“He is your opponent here. However, he is still your school mate. How could you be so cruel!”

“You are offending someone that you shouldn’t.”

“But teacher, he…!” Jiao Zhan didn’t get to defend himself when he saw the red blood eyes of the principal who looked as if he would shred him into pieces if he were to utter one more word.

Not only him, none of the students dared to speak up on his behalf.

“This match, will end with a draw. Both the students did well, let’s call it a day.” The Principal stood up as he announced, prepared to leave.

“Wait a moment, Principal. We can’t take this match as a draw, it’s clearly seen by every students here that Young Master Shen has been defeated by my friend and school mate Jiao Zhan, who fought in this death arena on my behalf to protect my honor. As a fellow student, I can’t stay quite and take this unfair decision as the right judgement. We wish to get a fair and square judgement.”

Bai Yunxian stated as he stood in the middle of the crowd, his head held up high with pride and unprevailing justice.

“Student Bai Yunxian, is that it? Even if you show a point, this match is still unqualified. Student Jiao won using sheer strength and suppressing his opponent. It is not a fair move by any means. We teachers in this Academy don’t teach students to fight like this. I hope you can understand where I am coming from, getting a support from the Capital that’s far away from this place isn’t enough. You should have known that more than any others, right?”

It was a clear threat and a warning to Bai Yunxian, saying not to waste their time in pointless fights. Just give up and do as you are told, it would make your life more easier.

Bai Yunxian wanted to retort, but he felt disgusted when he saw the nasty stares coming from people sitting behind the table, whom people refer as the honorable ones.

How come people like tham stand on the peak, and good people always live their life in the lowest level?

Bai Yunxian wished he could vanish into thin air, but it would be seen as something ’disrespectful’ if he tried something like this now, he couldn’t do anything but to bite his lips and swallow the grievance.

“Looks like you are having your time of life, Principal? Though I was the one hosting this time, are you going to end this without my opinion?”
