Chapter 213 - Shameless and lazy (1/2)

”You refuse?” Mao Lan asked in a surprised tone, ”Are you a coward? Why won't you accept my challenge? You sounded so sure you were the strongest earlier so why not prove that to me, the one who holds the 1st rank?”

Bai Xue still refuses to open her eyes and look a Mao Lan as it was a 'hassle', she instead yawned before answering lazily, ”That is just a banner, what does it prove? Those who believe it will believe it those who don't will not. I don't need to take the strongest on, I merely need to fight the weakest of your three to get a spot.”

At that point, Wang Ling chortled silently as he once again flicked Bai Xue on the forehead, ”What did I tell you about sleeping? Sleep after this is done, I thought you were awake already.”

Ignoring the fuming Mao Lan who had just been ignored and laid to the side for those who were much weaker than her. Bai Xue woke up against her will and slowly got up from Wang Ling's shoulders.

She got up on Wang Ling's head and then stared at Ye Chuan. With a yawn, she turned to him and asked nonchalantly, ”You are the 3rd ranked, correct? I would like to challenge you for the 3rd rank and the right to become the representative of the Academy.”

Bai Xue stared at Ye Chuan whose face was beginning to interchange the color of green and purple from being too angry. He was being looked down upon by a fox, the feeling of humiliation was beyond what he had expected.

Wang Ling who was silent throughout the whole thing looked around. He noticed a bunch of people was eyeing the stage and the intent to battle was thicker than what it was before the three highest-ranked students went up the stage.

He tugged on Bai Xue's tail and warned her, ”Move now and you will have more fights later. We already got enough points so fighting now is unnecessary and a waste of energy. Let's move to the side, I have some things to talk to you about. What rank are you in currently?”

”The 17th rank.”

”Alright then… Seniors, please excuse us, we need to speak of something personal. Please carry on with the Festival, we will be stepping up when the other students have their chances.”

With an oh, Bai Xue turned her gaze to Ye Chuan once again and bowed her head as she spoke, ”I apologize senior student Ye Chuan, I was arrogant and have forgotten that I lack the preparation to face you at the moment. Please, let me retract my challenge… I shall take your silence as your approval… thank you for your understanding.”

Here, the full capability of a sly and shameless fox and human combo had been seen.

Wang Ling then turned around and without any hesitation started walking away garnering a multitude of confused feedbacks from the crowd. They could not hear the conversation of the five people on the stage so the only thing they saw was Wang Ling and Bai Xue leaving after a bow had been given.

The two was even saying something to one another as if they were in a walk. This made many even more confused.

Ye Chuan, Wei Hu, and Mao Lan stared at their backs at a loss for word. They were too taken aback by the abrupt actions of the two that they could not speak for a short while.

But as Wang Ling was just about to step out of the stage, Mao Lan regained herself and then called out to them, ”Where are you going both of you? You are already on the stage, why not fight and let us finish this once and for all?”

Bai Xue turned and answered with a smile, ”We are not worthy of you at the moment, please let the other seniors take you on first. Ling and I are too young to take the first battle out of the hands of the other seniors, please refrain from challenging us, because unlike you we have the rights to reject these challenges.”

With that, Wang Ling jumped off the stage leaving Mao Lan who was always calm and collected at a loss for word. Lu Tao and Fu Peng who was watching this was shamelessly laughing at the misfortune of Mao Lan.

The old Thunderlord and the current Thunderlord were disciples and masters indeed. They were laughing too hard at the ever so proud Mao Lan that they managed to incite Mao Lan's rage and made her turn her head towards them.

He motioned a few words with her mouth which says, ”I will tell this to Mother…” These words of her managed to make the shameless duo on top of the Red Pillar to shut up.
