The two blades collided, and the battle officially began.
"That's all? So soft, Ijuin." Hai Qing easily took the blow. They were very close, so she could easily see his hostile expression." Didn't you let me wait for nothing?”
"If you have time to talk nonsense, why don't you look at my sword properly, Zhibo!”
Ijuin was really furious. He didn't know why he couldn't help but want to punch her face every time he met this idiot. This must be the legendary " enemies on a narrow road ". If possible, he really hoped that this so-called enemy was not a self-righteous idiot like her.
"I don't need your reminder.”
"Stop!"
Hai Qing ran to the periphery first, and Yi Juyuan immediately caught up. The two of them circled around the field happily. Teacher Chuan Yi, who was watching the battle, had a black face and didn't know what to say.
"Come, come. Be careful not to fall.”
"I told you to stop!"
"Who would be obedient! I'm not stupid!"
"I think you're just afraid of stepping into my trap! But was there really a trap? Was it because you were too afraid that you created something out of nothing?”
"Shut up! Bastard!"
Yi Juyuan caught up with her with Instant Steps and slashed at her right shoulder, but she dodged it agilely. At the same time, Hai Qing counterattacked with a stab. Due to the lack of time, Ijuin could only use his arm to barely block the opponent's knife. A wave of intense pain hit him.
Ka--
It hurts--
"Damn it…"
His footsteps slowed down a little to ease the sudden nervousness.
Endurance was the specialty of the nobles. They were constantly fighting against the outside world and themselves in ways that the commoners could not imagine. In the unfathomable, large dye vat of the Tranquil Palace, no one was worthy of absolute trust. Only power could be trusted, not even themselves. Family, friends, teachers, or servants could become enemies at any time. Therefore, he had long been accustomed to patience.
In the end, he did not show any fear on his face.
"Zhibo!"
"Hey, hey, is that all?"
Hai Qing's provocation was also strange. Her unique voice was softer than " disdain " and rougher than " friendliness."
"Don't underestimate me!" Yi Juyuan couldn't tell if he was joking or not. No matter what, he just wanted to take revenge." Your strength is just so-so. What's there to be proud of?"”
"I'm not proud," Hai Qing said seriously.”
"…Who's listening to you quibble!"
"I just think it's a little troublesome. These endless matches were meaningless. I just want to touch a fish and leave quickly.”
"This is pride! Because he was the First Seat from Liuhun Street, he disdained to 'associate' with us nobles. If this wasn't pride, then what was?”Ijuin gave her another stab.
He had hit it!
Delighted, he reflexively stopped and checked the enemy's situation. However, the other party did not care about the injuries he had received and charged straight at him.
Oh no--
" Wait... you-"
Before he could finish his words, his body was sent flying into the air by the huge impact and crashed into the outer guardrail. The knife in Yi Juyuan's hand flew far away due to inertia. When he wanted to pick it up, the other party stepped on the handle of the knife first.
He was decisive.
There was no room for negotiation.
"Well, looks like you lost." Hai Qing looked down at him from above.
What kind of brute force was this…
It was an absolute humiliation for any warrior to have their weapons taken away. Yi Juyuan looked at her indignantly, but at this moment, the outcome had been decided, and there was no way to change it. He really did not expect her to use such a crude and effective attack. If it was anyone else, it would be impossible for them to reach the realm where she did not play by the rules. However, that was just an excuse for him to lose.
For the first time, he felt that seeing her face would make him feel defeated.
"I…admit defeat."
Then, he left the examination hall without looking back. The crowd was frightened by his terrible lethargy and unconsciously made way for him.
Jiu Nanqiao, who was watching the battle, watched him approach uneasily. Ijuin suddenly raised his head and met her eyes. She was so scared that she quickly took a small step back and said nervously,""Yi Juyuan…Jun?"
His voice was emotionless." The next match is between you and me.”
"Ah?" She looked down at the round-robin schedule in her hand and smiled apologetically." I think so. I'm sorry. I'll leave now."”
Yi Juyuan didn't say a word along the way, which made Qiao relieved. At the same time, he was more worried about the fight later. In the past two years, she had never really won against Haiqing, so it was difficult for her to compete with Ijuin Kentaro, who was close to Haiqing. This was from experience.
