The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 125 - The arrival of Ren Yuan
"I think so too. I think he was destined to save a lot of people. Not only my son and that young man, but everyone in our Empire is ahead of him."
Qin Gaozu who heard those words became even more convinced, had Xin Fai not entered the top 3 he intended to raise him to a personal bodyguard.
Yang Guifei stood in front of the arena to end this main round. He spoke loudly until it was heard throughout the stadium.
"With this the main round has ended, the participants who managed to enter the top 8 please rest enough to follow the match tomorrow." Yang Guifei paused for a moment.
"And it is emphasized to all parties not to use any kind of secret weapon or poison! We will not tolerate this happening again. So much and thank you."
The crowd began to disperse, Xin Fai and Huang Kun rushed towards the medical room where Shen Xuemei was laid. There was already Li Yong guarding him.
Li Yong told them to return to the residence and he would keep Shen Xuemei until he recovered. The pastor confirmed that the guard in this room was very tight so they did not have to worry.
Both Huang Kun and Xin Fai both exhaled deeply. They looked at Shen Xuemei who could only lay weakly.
If Shen Xuemei is completely unrecoverable maybe she can't make the final tomorrow.
Huang Kun and also Xin Fai walked without interest towards the residence, they were not as cheerful as usual. While it was just the sound of immigrant birds who happened to be perched on high branches, they squeaked to welcome the scorching sun.
Until finally Huang Kun's voice sounded, he seemed to regret saying it.
"I'm sorry, I chose to give up..."
"Senior Huang, you're too stupid. Surrender to a girl like that."
Huang Kun understood his junior's disappointment, he folded his sleeves up.
"I can't fight at all because of this burn..." Huang Kun showed a serious burn due to his previous fight with the Fire Salamander user.
"He...? Why not say it? I thought you-"
"You think I like a cocky girl like her? Don't dream! Granny reot alone is better than her!"
Xin Fai laughed loudly at that, Huang Kun indirectly stated that he really liked grandmothers.
Yet a beautiful girl appearing before them made the two startled, let alone her gaze completely unfriendly. "What are you talking about is me?"
"aaa... It was not. that, the girl guarding the door of this sect. She's like a granny!"
"Are you talking about my friend?!" A girl who was in charge of guarding the surroundings of the sect cursed in annoyance. He suddenly appeared in front of them.
Xin Fai held back the laughter as much as possible, she looked away and laughed inwardly. A while after noticing Ren Yuan continuing to look at him Xin Fai became a little distracted.
"I have no interest here, I go first."
Ren Yuan stomped his feet very angrily, he had indeed deliberately come alone without Gong Li and also Zhuan Ang to meet Xin Fai.
Huang Kun was busy arguing with the girl from the White Fog Valley sect, he seemed to be in danger of handling it while Xin Fai left as if he did not care.
Ren Yuan certainly could not accept this kind of treatment anymore, just this morning Xin Fai embarrassed him in front of everyone. "You! Stop that!"
"If I don't want to stop, what can you do?"
Ren Yuan clenched his hands tightly, this time he felt his interlocutor as stubborn as he seemed.
"He... A lifetime? What a terrifying ahahaaha," laughter rang out from his mouth. Ren Yuan could not calm down at all as long as he was arguing with this little young man who was almost the same age as him, he was very good at playing with words.
"Stop messing around! I'm being serious."
"Alright, alright... So what brought you here?"
"I came here well, if you apologize to me for this morning's matter I'll forgive you on one condition."
"Hm? Why would I apologize to you? Who's looking for your own problems?" Xin Fai folded two hands as if unsure. Ren Yuan's self-esteem was indeed so high that he had to take pains to offer him an apology like this.
"It's only fair for a commoner like you to know nothing! You will deal with me and my family for life for humiliating us!"
Xin Fai actually felt that this matter was only a trivial matter but Ren Yuan continued to extend it.
"Anyway you're wrong, and if you forgive me, there's got to be something else in it, right?"
"Yes. Right enough. I'll forgive you if you withdraw from tomorrow's game."
Xin Fai laughed so hard that her eyes watered, she could not help but hear the girl's words. It was indeed very unreasonable, even his stomach was like dancing around this girl named Ren Yuan.
"You're such a fool... Anybody would resign from this tournament just for the sake of apology! Huahahaha!"
Ren Yuan's reddened face restrained the embarrassment, he thought that coming to Xin Fai directly like this would bring him to his senses. But his expectations turned to reality.
Xin Fai instead laughed until her breathing ran out and made her cough a little, though, he had so enjoyed this joke that Huang Kun had finally managed to break away from the guard girl of the White Fog Valley after convincing him dozens of times. Huang Kun furrowed his brows in astonishment.
"Fai'er? You okay?"
"Did you see I was laughing? Hahaha," Xin Fai stopped laughing after Ren Yuan's cold gaze again pollinated him. They're facing each other. Xin Fai started to get serious with her words.
"I'll apologize to you if you manage to beat me in the tournament later."
Ren Yuan raised next to his brows. "So arrogant. Alright. If we do not meet in the arena later, whoever becomes the winner is determined by their respective ratings. If I'm second and you're third, then you should apologize to me immediately."
Xin Fai pulled a little sneuman. He felt that this Ren Yuan was not only arrogant but his mind was completely shallow. The girl easily agreed to his proposal without a second thought.
Xin Fai pulled on Huang Kun's arm after feeling like there was nothing more to talk about. While Ren Yuan stood looking at Xin Fai until he finally disappeared from his sight.
Ren Yuan shook his face cursing after noticing that his cheeks were hot. He walks with his feet snapping.
Without realizing it, Gong Li and Zhuan Ang eavesdropped on their conversation from now on, they felt that Miss Ren was not what she used to be. When he saw Miss Ren's behavior, Gong Li finally came to a conclusion.
"It seems Miss Ren likes that young man."
"Don't make that shit!" Zhuan Ang was in disbelief, he who had liked Ren Yuan for so many years had been indifferent, whereas Xin Fai had only met Ren Yuan for a few days. Gong Li's opinion made no sense at all.
"Have you ever heard words like love start with hate?"
"Hooo's... I can't believe people like you know about love too! Huh! I'm going!"
