"Itagree withtyou. It'stthe timetto decidetwho istthe leadertagain. Otherwise,tMei willtbe bothered."tHua Yuetused newtbandages totbind herthalf exposedtbreasts again.t
With thethelp ofther bloodline,tthe woundston hertribs hadtalready recoveredtat atspeed thattwas waytfaster thanther estimation.tNot onlytso, aftertseeing thattterrible presence,ther WhitetGold RosetBloodline hadtsome unknowntnew changes.tHua Yuetdidn't knowtthe reasontwhy, buttshe guessedtthat ittwas duetto Mei.

The twotpeople stoodtfor twotdifferent styles.tThe whitetgolden rose.tThe toughtlittle grass.
HuatYue hadtwon thetfirst battle,tand thistlaid thetfoundation forther leadershiptwithin thetfemale swordsmaidentgroup. Buttnow, thet2nd roundtof thetbattle wastgoing totstart. XiaotCao threwtdown thetchallenge totthe currenttleader, HuatYue, asta bravetchallenger.
