How keen was a Transcendent’s senses? As a result, everyone could immediately affirm that right now, the mage Jing Qiu was looking directly at Xue Ying!

Xue Ying had a similar feeling when their eyes met.

Those memories…

Xue Ying felt his own heart beat faster.

“Sister Jing Qiu is staring at brother Xue Ying, wa, they are both from the Azure River County. Ze ze ze… it seems like there’s some story behind their relationship.” Peng Shan laughed as he teased.

“I also think that there’s some story. Looking at the expression in sister Jing Qiu’s eyes as she looks at little brother Xue Ying, wu wu… I was so moved that my tears are going to drop.” Cheng Ling Shu added.

Xue Ying was teased to the point where he felt ashamed.

Yu Jing Qiu smiled, “Dong Bo Xue Ying saved me in the past.”

“Hero saving the damsel in distress?” Peng Shan’s eyes widened.

“There actually is some story behind them.” Chi Qiu Bai shook his head.

“Jing Qiu, please take a seat first.” Hai Ru Zhen said.

“Yes, teacher.” Yu Jing Qiu replied as she obediently sat by the side.

Peng Shan shouted, “Brother Xue Ying, why aren’t you speaking? Quickly tell us, what happened in the past, and how did the hero save the damsel in distress?”

“I once coincidentally picked up the same Black Iron mission as mage Yu Jing Qiu,” Xue Ying said. “During the mission, we met some danger and trouble. In the end, only mage Yu Jing Qiu and I survived. It’s only luck that I was able to save mage Jing Qiu. Actually, since we were comrades taking the same mission, helping each other should be naturally something done. That’s all.”

“Only the two of you survived?” Light could be seen emitting from Cheng Ling Shu’s eyes, “That sounds so romantic. Then what happened next? The hero saving the damsel in distress? Did the damsel repay the debt with her body?”

“What nonsense are you saying.” Peng Shan stared, “Sister Jing Qiu isn’t that sort of girl, right? It should be that they made a promise in their heart and waited until the moment is ripe, isn’t that right, sister Jing Qiu, brother Xue Ying?”

The other Transcendents were fanning the flames.

“Alright, alright, don’t tease my student anymore,” Hai Ru Zhen said. “Ever since that mission, Jing Qiu has been at my Eternal Wind Academy. Later on, she heard that brother Xue Ying fell into the Black-Wind Abyss.”

Everyone was just joking around.

After having some fun, the topic changed.

They ate and drank while chatting casually and soon the topic reached the upcoming Transcendent Battle of Life and Death. After all, regardless of whether it was Yuan Qing or Yu Jing Qiu, they would be having their Transcendent Battle of Life and Death soon.

“Little brother Yuan Qing, you stepped into the realm of Transcendent at such a young age, though you must set Xue Ying as your target. He has, after all, won nine matches.” Cheng Ling Shu said, “I don’t expect too much, just win at least six matches.”

“Sister Ling Shu, it seems that ever since you’ve won a huge amount of money when wagering on brother Xue Ying during his battle of Life and Death, you want to continue winning again.” Peng Shan laughed, “But Yuan Qing does not have any primordial bloodline, and winning six rounds will not be an easy task.”

“Precisely because it isn’t easy, the payout will be greater,” Cheng Ling Shu replied.

“I knew it. The more you gamble, the more you will get lost into it.” Zi Che Gu Feng shook his head.

“You are just being envious and jealous of me. I’ll not wager too much this time, just 50 kilogrammes of Origin Stones. That time during little brother Xue Ying’s match, I actually won enough… for me to gamble a few times.” Cheng Ling Shu was delightedly boasting, “And if I win again, ze ze ze.” Cheng Ling Shu was a female mage, thus she was extremely intelligent. Even if she was to gamble, she would still have great control of herself.

Usually, it was the Transcendent knights who lost the most in the gambling house of Xia Capital.

“Little sister Jing Qiu, how many matches do you feel you can win?” Cheng Ling Shu asked.

Jing Qiu shook her head before smiling, “I don’t have any confidence. Who knows, I might not even win a single match.”
