Chapter 223 - Wu Shuanger
“You got nine howls, which means you will catch up with him! I believe in you!” Xue Er clenched her little fist, trying to sincerely encourage him.
“I will work very hard regardless!” Ye Wei touched his nose awkwardly and said.
“You will be moving to the Black Dragon Valley now that you are on the list. If you didn’t know who Chi Wuxiu is, you probably have no idea how you can find your way to your new villa.” Xue Er spoke in a trustworthy tone. “I will lead the way!”
“You don't mind taking me to the valley?” Ye Wei nodded in relief, feeling relaxed now that the scheming and bullying was pushed aside.
From fighting Feng Shan, Luo Han, Zhou Kuang and Jin Kui, Ye Wei had gained a great deal of experience and knowledge regarding the third Supernova Evolution and the Eternal Star stance. He learned from the returned prime Warriors and felt that he could use some of the Qi manipulating tricks to further improve on his cultivation.
‘I can use some time alone to immerse myself in what I really learned from today’s exchanges. And I can prepare my body for a breakthrough!’ The young Runemaster thought to himself.
“Let’s go!” Xue Er pulled the corners of her lips backwards and leaped into the sky, ready to travel at greater speed.
“Hold on a second!” Ye Wei shouted as he ran towards Jian Chen. “Hey, would you like to come with me to the valley? We can share the space. It will still be better than the villas we were assigned to. It is hard to focus in conditions like that.”
“Maybe we can train together, too!” The young Runemaster was eager to push for an answer.
“Thank you for your kind gesture! But I need to earn my spot in the valley, so it’s nothing personal.” Jian Chen shook his head while smiling. His gaze was sharp as a sword’s blade, and he shifted his focus onto the black dragon statue that had returned to the pillar in the center of the palace.
“I respect your decision! Just remember you can still come see me whenever you feel like it.” Quickly realizing he had no way to make Jian Chen compromise on his principles, Ye Wei gave up trying to persuade the stubborn swordsman.
“I will tag along.” Just when both Ye Wei and Xue Er were ready to go, they were interrupted by a captivating voice.
Qing Yao’s voice seemed to have slowed down everyone’s actions.
All Ye Wei could see was a flash before a curvy figure appeared in front of him.
The clarity of her voice matched her clear, deep set of eyes. Her feather-shaped brows were gracefully volumed, complementing and contrasting her white dress and pale skin.
With her face shaded by a thin veil and body covered by garment, her eyes were the only part of her that was unobscure. To the beholders, the world seemed monochromatic compared to her mystical, glinting pupils.
Unlike the others, Ye Wei only peered across once before taking his eyes off her. Although mostly covered, her highly symmetrical, beautiful features were easily recognizable. With Lin Ziyan in his mind, the casual gaze reflected his apathy towards attractive girls.
“The more, the merrier!” Xue Er intimately grabbed hold of Qing Yao’s slender arm, like a child reunited with her favourite toy.
“Let’s go!” Qing Yao cast her gaze onto Ye Wei and then immediately looked away. As she took steps in the air, a sequence of lotus-shaped runes condensed on the tips of her toes. With the force of the lotus, she gracefully glided in the sky, and the extra person’s weight did not slow her down the slightest.
Qing Yao was quiet, giving off a mystical air with the semblance of a fairy, while Xue Er had a playful, naughty sister’s charm. All the boys were starting to get jealous, annoyed by how Ye Wei was getting closer to the popular girls.
‘I think it’s best that I get out of here as soon as possible!’ The young Runemaster could feel the heat of the envious glares; he rubbed his nose and acted normal. ‘If looks could kill, I would be a limbless torso now! Are these two that popular?’
‘She doesn’t even bother talking to me, but now she’s taking initiative to bond with this newbie!?’ Feeling neglected and jealous, Qing Mu the Spiritualist’s rage oozed out from his eyes as he watched Ye Wei leaving with his crush.
“I don’t care how much potential the statue said you have! In a month’s time, I will put you through so much pain during the ranking matches that you’d wish you never crossed me today.” The Spiritualist muttered. “That is if Chi Wuxiu doesn’t get to you first. Ha…”
Inside the valley, the thick white mist was stained by the floating buildings like an ocean marked by small isles.
Although seemingly small compared to the whiteness that surrounded them, the villas weremore than double the size of anywhere else in the palace, and each of these residences included their own garden and ponds.
