Chapter 205: A Friendly Match
Having lived for so many years, Qiao Wan rarely enjoyed such attention. It was the first time she experienced the danger of being surrounded.
Xiu Quan and Jia Yin skillfully sat down behind her.
With a bread in his mouth, Qi Feidao leaned on the table, filled with curiosity. His eyes playfully circled around Qiao Wan's head.
They had received a message on the jade slip and hurriedly came for the morning class. They didn't see Lu Cixian's figure but instead saw Lu Cixian's supposed "rumored girlfriend."
The young girl, wearing a pink dress with a bald head, sat earnestly at the desk.
Was this girl the one Lu Cixian had his eyes on?
Appearance-wise, Little Fang could be described as beautiful, especially with a bald head that didn't diminish his good looks. In every aspect, he was pretty awesome. His eyes were clear, and he had a calm and determined expression.
As for Fang Lingqing, he couldn't hide his curiosity, although his face showed a bit of discomfort. As a simple young master from the Fang family, he finally realized that the claim of "having his sleeve cut off" was a trick!
Back then, he blushed and stammered as he asked Lu Cixian, "You're not interested in me, right?"
Now, Lu Cixian, this rumored girlfriend, this main character, was sitting right in front of him. Little Fang couldn't help but feel extremely embarrassed. His refined and cultured self from the Fang family, since meeting Lu Cixian, had said more vulgar words than in all his previous years combined.
Qiao Wan couldn't help but notice Fang Lingqing and Qi Feidao as soon as they entered the room. Her heart skipped a beat and she started to feel a bit worried.
Thinking about her missing cell phone that she was still on her way to get, Qiao Wan fell silent.
Fang Lingqing is a carefree and playful person, easy to fool. But the problem lies with Qi Feidao . Although he looks lazy and messy, he is actually very observant and attentive.
Can she still go back in time? What if both of her disguises are exposed...
In an instant, Qiao Wan's expression cracked a little.
How embarrassing is it to show off her relationship like this.
No, she can't...there's nothing to be afraid of!!
As long as she holds tightly to her disguises! No one can take them off!!
Boosting herself silently in her heart, Qiao Wan straightened her posture, trying her best to ignore the gazes of Qi Feidao and Fang Lingqing . With a serious expression, she continued to study ways to win over Zhou Yan .
As Qiao Wan walked to the left, suddenly, she saw someone sitting down.
The man named Gan Nan had a shy smile and bright eyes. He stood beside Jun Caiwei.
"Good morning, Sister Wan'er."
As soon as they entered the room, Jun Caiwei looked at Qiao Wan with a slightly complicated expression and pointed to the seat next to her, saying, "Taoist friend, may I sit here?"
Qiao Wan calmly replied, "Someone is sitting here."
Come out, my little trumpet!!
And in the next moment, the young boy who had been full of gossip since last night finally appeared at the door.
The moment Lu Cixian showed up, the classroom fell into a subtle silence.
Mainly because Lu Cixian had a heavenly appearance, but considering yesterday's events, the image of him collecting human heads, no one would think this boy was "girly." He had a dignified and cold demeanor, bright eyes when he smiled, and seemed to be kind.
As soon as he entered, he walked straight to Qiao Wan and sat down.
At this point, Qiao Wan was surrounded from all directions.
At that time, before classes started, there were whispers all around.
"Is that Lu Cixian? It must be Lu Cixian!"
"Hey, did you guys hear? Lu Cixian and Qiao Wan..."
"Lu Cixian and Qiao Wan? When did they start dating?"
"It's written on the jade booklet."
Oh my gosh!
Qiao Wan opened the jade booklet and saw the horrifying scene of a rainy night chase, with a sword beheading the enemy within ten steps. The others were shocked.
Is Lu Cixian really this ruthless? How did Qiao Wan become such a formidable weapon?
"Lu Cixian seems to care about Qiao Wan."
"Are you blind, taoist friend? Didn't you see how Lu Cixian personally dried Qiao Wan's clothes?"
As they watched Lu Cixian sit down, Fang Lingqing's face turned red and then white, and white again, mainly out of shame. He wished he could go back in time and see if Lu Cixian had any intention of... He was worried that Lu Cixian would open his head to look inside.
In the end, Qi Feidao couldn't stand it anymore. He grabbed Fang Lingqing's head and turned him around.
This time and place are not suitable for catching up. Don't be in a hurry. Take a good look now. There will be plenty of time to ask later. Little Fang and Meng Canglang have been deceived by the feelings.
Qi Feidao smirked.
"Luxiao taoist friend, long time no see."
Unexpectedly, the young man remained calm, as if they had never been separated. "Taoist Friend Qi, Little Fang."
This shamelessness made Qi Feidao twitch his mouth.
Qiao Wan chose "martial arts" for this "elective course".
After a while, Elder Xuan Zhong, who is in charge of teaching martial arts, walked up to the stage, and this gossip came to a temporary end.
Elder Xuan Zhong obviously heard about yesterday's incident. He scanned the audience and locked his gaze with a smile on Qiao Wan.
Unlike other elders who had some disagreements with Qiao Wan, Elder Xuan Zhong has always liked the girl in front of him. She is humble, down-to-earth, and in the Mudstone Secret Realm, she killed tens of thousands of Human-faced Scorpion-tailed Spiders with her spiritual power, clean and decisive, showing her resilience.
"Come, Taoist Friend Qiao, come up and show everyone."
A demonstration of martial arts requires two people, and as for the other person...
Elder Xuan Zhong looked around again and waved with a smile, "Then Pei, come up."
The young man stood up confidently with his eyes half lowered.
To Elder Xuan Zhong's surprise, after Pei Chunzheng, Lu Cixian next to Qiao Wan also stood up and said, "Elder, can I replace Wan'er?"
Xuan Zhong asked, "You?"
Being older, he didn't understand the nuances among these young people. Since someone was willing to volunteer, he felt gratified.
Look at how eager this younger generation is to learn.
Elder Xuan Zhong, who was born in Precept Hall, had a practical approach to dealing with things. When Pei Chunzheng and Lu Cixian appeared, he took a half step back and looked at the audience below, saying, "Let them fight first, pay attention and watch closely. After they finish, I will ask you."
When it came to martial arts skills, Pei Chunzheng was considered one of the best among his peers. But he was facing Lu Cixian.
Lu Cixian was the first to make a move.
Even though they had seen the fierce image of Lu Cixian seeking revenge on a rainy night in the Souvenir Image, it wasn't the same as witnessing it firsthand. Now that they had a chance to see it live, everyone in the audience became focused like never before, giving their complete attention to this "demonstration".
The young boy threw a punch with lightning speed and powerful force. This punch was like the thunder than boomed through Kunshan last night.
Under the immense pressure of this thunderous momentum, Pei Chunzheng's face changed slightly. He could only quickly retreat, but Lu Cixian kept up the pursuit, never giving him a chance to escape.
After a short while, the two of them fought their way from the stage to the floor. The tables and chairs around them were shaking from the force and broke into pieces.
Lu Cixian's attacks were fast and powerful, roaring and crushing everything in their path. The energy generated shook the books on the table, causing them to fly around. The other Kunshan disciples quickly jumped off their chairs, afraid of getting caught up in the chaos.
Compared to Lu Cixian's fierce and powerful martial arts, Pei Chunzheng's techniques were light and elusive, like a gentle breeze or falling snow. He seized the opportunity to counterattack, using the momentum of the wind.
The friendly "sparring match" unexpectedly turned into a fight to the death atmosphere.
Elder Xuan Zhong saw all this but didn't intervene. As long as no one was seriously hurt, he had the ability to stop them before it escalated.
As Lu Cixian relentlessly pressed forward, the people below couldn't help but tighten their faces. The gossip they were eagerly anticipating disappeared instantly. All that remained was a heavy and solemn feeling, almost suffocating.
The expert battle skills displayed during this fight left everyone in awe and fear, submitting to the power of these extraordinary martial arts techniques.
Is this Lu Cixian?
No wonder... No wonder they were able to brave the haunted market alongside Meng Canglang and his companions.
Under the influence of these incredible martial arts techniques, the disciples from Kunshan were silenced, no longer concerned with the distractions of fame and romance. This was an insult to the martial arts competition.
But how did Qiao Wan manage to "tame" such a fierce weapon?
Feeling anxious, the crowd couldn't help but shift their gaze towards Qiao Wan, who sat up straight with a serious expression.
Her focus was entirely on Lu Cixian at this moment, her mental energy seemingly devoted to his well-being.
Despite Pei Chunzheng being no match for her in terms of martial arts skill, she was at a disadvantage since she had to conceal many abilities, such as the "Wuxiang Technique." The longer the fight dragged on, the more unfavorable the situation became for her.
Even though the "Wuxiang Technique" was used for both offense and defense, the most practical approach was to focus on defense. However, she could not currently use the "Wuxiang Technique" and had to completely abandon her defenses, leaving herself wide open for a full-on attack.
Just then, the people saw Lu Cixian pick up a scattered book. As soon as he held the book, an internal force flowed into it, and the sound of sharp whistling filled the air as pages flew out like darting arrows, heading straight towards Pei Chunzheng.
Despite Pei Chunzheng's evasiveness, he didn't escape unscathed. The sharp pages grazed his face, leaving a fresh, red bloodstain on his handsome face.
Expressionless, Pei Chunzheng wiped the blood off his face and slowly pursed his lips, feeling a bit dizzy.
Something was wrong.
Ever since he started fighting with Lu Cixian, there had been a faint sense of unease lingering in his heart.
He was certain that it was his first time meeting Lu Cixian, but how could Lu Cixian be so familiar with his moves? Every step, every punch he took seemed to be anticipated by Lu Cixian.
Even if his fighting techniques were refined, it shouldn't be like this without ever having fought him before.
Unless, there was another possibility.
Just the thought of this possibility made Pei Chunzheng's handsome face turn cold, and his heart skipped a beat.
Unless Qiao Wan had informed him in advance, revealing all of his strategies and weaknesses to the man standing in front of him.
Suddenly, Jia Yin, who had been sitting silently behind Qiao Wan, spoke up: "Who is this person?"
Sensing Jia Yin's subtle eagerness in his voice, Xiu Quan sighed helplessly, knowing that his boss enjoyed facing opponents with his true abilities, and said, "This is Lu Cixian."
Xiu Quan added, "Your Majesty might not be aware, but this seems to be Qiao Wan's partner."
"Qiao Wan's companion?" the man remained indifferent, showing no surprise on his face as he calmly said, "His path and hers are quite similar."
Qiao Wan suddenly shivered, feeling a chill at the back of her head.
