Volume 24, Chapter 218.2: You Are My Fool (1/2)

After all, the Goddess of Light was ethereal, but Wang Qiu’er was a real person. He was really shocked. When he had seen the Goddess of Light for the first time, he had felt that it was love at first sight. However, a change had occurred at this moment.

He didn’t want to hurt Ling Luochen and Ning Tian, but Elder Mu had told him before that a man must be decisive in terms of his relationships. Otherwise, he would only cause more pain. Rejection was a better choice for the other party.

That was why Huo Yuhao had rejected both Ling Luochen and Ning Tian after confirming the identity of the number two lady, so as to make them give up completely. It wasn’t just a form of respect to them; it also helped to prevent further misunderstandings.

If people weren’t steadier in terms of relationships, they might be stuck in them forever.

After Huo Yuhao heard the story of the Twin Holy Dragons of Black and White and Ye Xishui from Elder Xuan on the way back, he understood this point even more. That was why he didn’t hesitate to make his choice.

However, trouble still arrived.

He knew that he had hurt Ling Luochen, even though she looked very calm. What else could he say? Since she wanted to challenge him, his only choice was to accept her challenge. If he lost, he might as well be a bachelor.

Zhang Lexuan turned to Ning Tian and said, “Ning Tian, you’re an auxiliary-type soul master, even though you’re on a different level. You’re challenging him with?”

Ning Tian took in a deep breath and looked into the sky. She suppressed her tears. When she looked at Huo Yuhao again, there was only a sharp, intense light coming from her eyes.

“I want to challenge the both of them. I’m an auxiliary-type soul master, thus I hope to find a partner to carry out a two-versus-two fight. My partner has to be of a five-ringed cultivation, too. That’s why I hope to find two five-ringed soul masters to make it three of us. Since one of them has five rings and the other has six rings, I guess it’s fair.”

Zhang Lexuan nodded and asked, “Who are your partners then?”

Ning Tian said without any hesitation, “Wu Feng, Xie Huanyue.”

Huo Yuhao’s gaze shifted slightly. Wu Feng was waiting for him here, meaning that she wouldn’t choose Dai Huabin easily!

Wu Ming said loudly, “I’ll find Xie Huanyue. He should be by the shore.” As she spoke, her figure flashed, and she stepped onto the water’s surface before proceeding to the shore.

A man beside Huo Yuhao couldn’t help but comment, “My friend, is that a self-ridiculing soul skill you have?”

Zhang Lexuan also looked at Huo Yuhao. “Yuhao, are you fine with this?”

Huo Yuhao nodded again, “I am.” He could tell that Ning Tian was being sincere when she chose him, whereas Dai Huabin and Wu Feng were probably just finding trouble with him. He was also secretly enraged. If they wanted to come for him, then so be it!

As the challenge involved the number two female student, Zhang Lexuan turned to ask her, “Number two female student, do you accept this challenge?”

She finally opened her mouth and replied, “I don’t agree.” When her voice sounded for the first time, it was very captivating and pleasant. She was like an oriole that cleared everyone’s mind.

After hearing her voice, Huo Yuhao felt a strong sense of familiarity. He was certain that he had heard this voice before.

That day, he had unintentionally taken Wang Qiu’er’s veil. She had spoken to him then, saying “Give it back.” Her voice had been captivating, like singing birds, leaving a deep impression in his mind.

Huo Yuhao remembered it clearly, because he had watched her closely. Wang Qiu’er’s voice sounded a little lower than this young lady’s voice, which was smoother. Had he recognized the wrong person? However, he clearly remembered the Radiant Butterfly Goddess’ wings and the pinkish-blue hair! I must have recalled wrongly!, Huo Yuhao told himself.

“What is your reason for not accepting?” Zhang Lexuan continued asking.

At this point, this mysterious female student was under everyone’s scrutiny. Rejecting the challenge? That could disqualify her, unless she could give a logical reason. Was she going to give up? After all, she hadn’t spoken since the start, and no one knew her character.

Her voice was as pleasant as ever. “I don’t think we have to go through all that trouble. I can team up with Huo Yuhao, and we can fight the five of them.”

As she said this, the entire place went silent.

She was being too impulsive. Furthermore, she was too arrogant and self-confident!

Even though four of them had five rings and only Ling Luochen had six rings, all five of them were from the inner courtyard! They hadn’t made their way to this point by relying on medicine, either!
