Wait! Xinyu, dont be impulsive! called out Shu Yuanfeng and Pei Qianqian. They had managed to catch up to the group and immediately tried to put a stop to Lan Xinyus actions. There are many ways to conduct a duel. It doesnt necessarily have to be done like this.

Then why dont you tell us all what these other ways of conducting a duel are? said Ling Yichen calmly at this moment. He didnt hope for Ling Chuxi and Lan Xinyu to come to blows as he still had his concerns regarding Lan Xinyu having a strong monster beast as her mystical pet. He was worried Ling Chuxi would lose if they exchanged blows in a one-on-one fight.

Why not compete by comparing your results at the end of this training? suggested Shu Yuanfeng after some thought.

Thats fine too. Ill definitely win first place, retorted Ling Chuxi as she laughed without much care. She was fine with fighting. She wanted to see for herself exactly how strong White Stone Academys so-called peerless genius was. Not fighting was fine by her too, since she and her group had to rush along this treacherous journey to obtain first place in the training. Ling Yichen needed the first-place prize, so they shouldnt be delayed if they could help it.

Just you? You think youll be getting first place? scoffed Lan Xinyu in disdain as she sneered and tucked her golden whip away. Fine, then. Lets place a bet, Ling Chuxi. Whoever loses in this training has to agree to a condition.

Tell me what it is. Ling Chuxi crossed her arms across her chest and curled the corners of her lips into a proud smile.

Whoever loses has to kowtow to the other three times in front of all of White Stone Academys students and teachers, then get lost from White Stone City. As she said this chillingly, an evil glint appeared in Lan Xinyus eyes. This condition wasnt just carelessly ruthless. Lan Xinyu was saying this because she was sure she would definitely win.

Also, you arent allowed to seek out Teacher Mu for help, added on Lan Xinyu urgently after the thought occurred to her. If Mu Liufeng were to secretly help Ling Chuxi, then Lan Xinyu would definitely lose.

You really have such a villainous heart. Just because you are despicable, therefore you assume that everyone else is just as despicable as you? Ling Chuxi tutted as she sighed. After she successfully caused Lan Xinyus face to turn pig-liver red, she slowly said, Fellow student Lan Xinyu, I hope you dont regret the words you said today. The person who loses has to agree to the Chinese customary act of kneeling and touching their foreheads to the ground as though in an act of worship or submission. They will do this three times. They will kowtowthree times to the other party in front of the whole school and then leave White Stone City. Fifth Princess, Your Highness, have you heard everything clearly? Ill be troubling you to be our witness.

After she heard Ling Chuxis words, Lan Xinyu was stunned. She turned her gaze toward the lavishly dressed young maiden who was standing behind Ling Chuxi. When Lan Xinyu took a good look at the young maidens face, her heart leapt in surprise. It really was the fifth princess! The Lan family was a big family clan in White Stone City. There was some prestige in the Lan background. As such, Lan Xinyu had met the fifth princess before and naturally also knew of her notoriety. As for whether the fifth princess was famous for good or bad reasons, that was a separate discussion. The thing was, why was the fifth princess even here? And why was she travelling together with Ling Chuxi?

Yes. I have heard it all. At this moment, the fifth princess slowly approached both Ling Chuxi and Lan Xinyu. Her face was cold, and she was exuding the innate majestic aura only a member of the royal family could. I will be the witness of your competition and at the end of it, I will supervise the losing partys fulfilment of the agreed promise.

Lan Xinyus facial expression changed slightly but recovered very quickly. Because, to her, the person who would lose would definitely be Ling Chuxi!

Thank you, Your Highness, said Lan Xinyu courteously with a smile on her face.

Then, lets not delay ourselves anymore. Everyone should make their way. The fifth princess waved her hand in annoyance, indicating that Lan Xinyu should immediately get lost instead of delaying her and her master further and robbing them of the precious time they could be using to nurture their relationship.
