C30 (1/2)

”Wow, such a young girl can become a senior disciple, and she's also so beautiful. There really are a lot of talented people around!”

Looking at the young girl in the arena, Yan Le suddenly exclaimed in admiration. To be able to become an Advanced Disciple at such an age was not something that anyone could achieve.

As he said that, Yan Le turned his head to look at Bai Chen. With just a single glance, he discovered that Bai Chen had an incomparably shocked expression. His eyes were fixed on the young girl in the arena.

”Second brother, second brother!” Yan Lai shouted twice before pulling Bai Chen's attention back to him.

Even though he had recovered from his shock, Bai Chen still had an expression of shock on his face. It wasn't that he was making a fuss over nothing, but that the young girl's identity was too different.

Qiu Yun!

Bai Chen said this name in his heart. Yes, the young girl on the stage was Qiu Yun, who was once engaged to Bai Chen!

Bai Chen had long known that Qiu Yun was a student of Canghai Academy, but he had never expected that Qiu Yun was already an Advanced Disciple.

The last time he saw Qiu Yun was in Ren City. At that time, Qiu Yun was still a High Rank Spirit Master. It had only been half a year but she had already reached the Middle Rank Spirit Sect realm.

”What, you know that girl?” Yan Le asked as he saw Bai Chen's stunned expression.

Although he was shocked, Bai Chen still pretended to be calm on the surface. He shook his head slightly and didn't say anything. Seeing this, Yan Le didn't think too much into it.

Amidst intense cheers, Qiu Yun and another man on the stage began their battle. Bai Chen was slightly surprised by the audience's observations. Qiu Yun had displayed her overwhelming strength, and was simply trampling on his opponent.

From the expressions of the numerous onlookers in the venue, it wasn't hard to tell that Qiu Yun seemed to have quite a bit of fame in Canghai Academy. Many people were cheering for her.

At such a young age, not only was she powerful, she was also a beautiful woman. It was only natural for such a beauty to be sought after.

Looking at Qiu Yun, who was fighting with his opponent on the stage, Bai Chen couldn't help but laugh at himself. This girl was once his fiancée.

However, the previous Bai Chen completely looked down on her, and he often teased her. Now, looking back, the girl that he looked down upon had left him behind, and the marriage contract between the two of them no longer existed.

Bai Chen sighed inwardly. Even though Qiu Yun's fight with her opponent was more intense than before, he had no intention of watching.

As expected, Qiu Yun won the match without any suspense. The cheers from the audience brought Bai Chen back to reality.

He shook his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind. It was useless to think about it now. The marriage agreement between him and Qiu Yun no longer existed. From today onwards, they would only be passersby. She no longer had anything to do with him.

”Brother Zhang and Brother Zhang, you two stay here to watch the competition. I want to go back and rest first.” Bai Chen stood up and said to Yan Le. His face was filled with a dejected expression.

”What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” Yan Le said to Bai Chen with a concerned expression. At this moment, Zhang Fu also came over, his face full of worry.

”No, I'm just a bit tired.” Bai Chen shook his head.

Only after hearing those words did the two of them relax. They thought that something had happened to Bai Chen.

”If that's the case, then let's head back together. We've seen enough today anyway.” After saying that, the three of them got up and walked out of the venue.

At this moment, Qiu Yun, who had won the match, was standing in the arena, receiving the applause of the crowd. She suddenly saw three people walking out from the arena.

Qiu Yun's gaze fell on the back of one of the men. A peculiar expression flashed across her eyes. She felt that the man's back was somewhat familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before, but could not recall where.

Qiu City, in the discussion hall of the Xiao family's residence.

The current residence, Xiao Zhenghai, was seated at the very front. The two rows below him were filled with the upper echelons of the Xiao Family.

Xiao Zhenghai's face was ashen, and a formless anger filled the entire hall. The patriarch was not in a good mood, and the rest of the people lowered their heads, not daring to look at him. The atmosphere in the entire hall was extremely tense.

At this moment, a servant hurriedly ran in from outside and everyone looked up.

”How was it, did you find those two brats?”

Xiao Zhenghai asked quickly, his voice filled with anger.

”Lord, according to the scouts' reports, the direction they're heading towards seems to be towards Canghai City.” The servant replied respectfully.

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, including Xiao Zhenghai. Canghai City was famous far and wide, especially Canghai Academy, which was a famous holy land for cultivators in the remote regions of East Star Continent.
