Chapter 166: A one-sided battle！

Li Muyang’s heart sank but he maintained a calm outward appearance and replied with a smile on his face: “Then you saw demons?”

Qiandu circled around Li Muyang two times, before she said: “Li Muyang, have you ever thought that you’re special?”

“Me?” Li Muyang smiled. “Except for a little talent in martial arts, there isn’t anything else special about me.”

“You were enrolled into Starry Sky Academy based on the best results of West Wind Kingdom, that is very special itself. I have read your information. Before that exam, you never had any good grades nor any outstanding performance——”

“It seems your words are full of hidden meaning.” Li Muyang smiled and said. “Before achieving the best results in West Wind Kingdom’s imperial exam, not only did I not have good grades or other outstanding performance, I was simply a useless trash. All the students in my school called me ‘pig’, yes, I also have another nickname ‘Black Charcoal’——you can’t tell, right? I used to be very dark; my little sister always used my face as a mirror. I don’t know what happened but now I’m getting whiter.”

“On your way to Starry Sky, you killed Cui Zhaoren who is from one of Tiandu’s n.o.ble family——You were ambushed and attacked countless times, many are well-known vicious people but you still arrived safe and sound at the foot of Starry Sky.”

“Maybe my luck is good.”

“You were the first freshman to pa.s.s the four trials, wine, women, avarice and temper, and arrive at the peak of Broken Mountain.”

“My luck this year has been pretty good.”

“You’ve never learnt dragon language before but you could understand Teacher Yang’s p.r.o.nunciation of the dragon language——”

“I also did not know that I’m so gifted in Dragon Language.”

“So many miracles have happened on the same person, isn’t that suspicious? Moreover, your changes happened so suddenly. If nothing strange happened—— then it’s hard to explain everything.” Qiandu walked right in front of Li Muyang, staring into his eyes. Qiandu’s eyes were flas.h.i.+ng while Li Muyang’s eyes were as calm as Sunset Lake in autumn. “Li Muyang, are we friends?”

“I’ve always treated you two as my friend.” Li Muyang’s line of sight hovered between Qiandu and Lin Canghai as he exclaimed earnestly.

“Shouldn’t friends be honest with each other?” Qiandu said, a smile pulling up the corners of her mouth. “You’re too mysterious, I feel that countless secrets are hidden within your body, you’re difficult to predict and get close to.”

Li Muyang’s smile gradually faded into a serious look as he stared at Qiandu: “You say you’re called Qiandu, then what about your surname?” Qiandu is your name but it does not include your surname, right?”

Qiandu smiled and replied: “If you ask, I will tell you.”

“You didn’t tell us your surname but everyone accepted your self-introduction. Including Teacher Yang. Is he not a little curious?”

“Perhaps, teacher Yang is only concerned about students’ talent in martial arts and does not care about their background?”

“Teacher Yang shows a certain degree of care and concern towards you, although he does not say exactly what’s on his mind—–but, believe me, as a trash who has been bullied and discriminated against for tens of years, I can sharply sense even a sli

ght change in emotion.”

Qiandu’s long, beautiful eyelashes fluttered as she blinked and said with a smile: “It seems you’re an attentive boy.”

“Also Canghai, you two don’t seem to have any obvious relations.h.i.+p on the surface but I can see that he’s very respectful to you and dependent on you——Do you two know each other already?”

Lin Canghai’s smiling face still looked cute but there was a light flas.h.i.+ng in his eyes.

“Qiandu, you also have a lot of secrets. Canghai also have many secrets. Which student in Starry Sky Academy does not have secrets? If you don’t tell us, then we should not ask. There isn’t a lot of things that I have learnt before but there is one thing that’s called ‘respect the privacy of others’.”

Qiandu stayed silent for a moment, before her lips curved into a sweet smile. “Okay. You’ve manage to persuade me. Whether or not you’re possessed by a demon or is hiding a demon in your body——no matter how curious I am, I won’t ask anymore.”

“Friends should trust each other, right?” Li Muyang said with a smile.

“Of course. I believe you’re a good person and will never do anything to hurt your friends. Although we only spent little time together but this is my initial opinion of you——”

“Thanks.” Li Muyang said earnestly. He had always been a sincere and straightforward person. There are many things that he wants to tell but there is no way he could say it out loud.

Because he endured loneliness for so long, he longed for friends. Since Qiandu was willing to put aside her doubts and still treat him as a friend, he suddenly felt a very warm feeling filling his heart.

“Thank you for what?” Qiandu quietly chuckled. “Then I should also thank you for not asking?”

Li Muyang also chuckled before he asked: “I see you two are dressed up, are you two going out?”

“That’s right.” Qiandu replied with a smile. “In front of Starry Sky Academy is the endless Flower Language Plains and behind is towering red Nujiang. It is said that the Starry Sky Academy is a land of mysteries. There are many mysterious places that need us to explore it. We have came to Starry Sky Academy for some time now but we have not yet went out to explore. Since we have nothing to do today, we were just thinking about walking around. Do you want to come with us?”

Li Muyang was tempted.

As the saying goes: ‘Traveling thousands of miles is better than reading thousands of books’. Starry Sky Academy is a mysterious place; Broken Mountain is high and surrounded by clouds so it’s difficult to get a glimpse of its true face. No matter whether for the landscape alone or for the secret caverns, it was always worth an exploration.
