“Wen Qingxuan?”

When this name rang into Mu Chen’s ears, even he felt his heart growing slightly colder. Ever since the start of the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, her name had been akin to thunder piercing his eyes. That’s due to the number one place of the Top 16 rankings of the tournament had been occupied by this group from the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy ever since it started. Even with many other strong groups doing their best to catch up, they were still unable to surpass them.

Wanting to lay claim to the number one place of this Great Spiritual Academy Tournament rankings, where the experts were as numerous as the clouds in the sky, wasn’t an easy task to accomplish. This was even especially so when this group was entirely composed of such pretty and exquisite-looking beautiful girls. For them, the difficulty to accomplish such a task would even be intensified.

Therefore, being able to continuously occupy the number one place showed that Wen Qingxuan’s group definitely possessed rather frightening strength.

Whoever dared to underestimate and neglect those girls who appeared even more beautiful than flowers might have to pay an exceedingly high price.

Mu Chen focused his gaze on Wen Qingxuan. Although he was shocked in awe of the appearance and temperament of the girl before him, he felt even more of an ambiguous vigilance against her. Not knowing Wen Qingxuan, and with the latter suddenly knocking on their doorsteps, he felt that this wasn’t much of a good matter.

The strength of the group currently present before them might be the strongest group they’ve encountered since the start of the tournament. If they were to truly start a fight, even Mu Chen, who had just broken through, would not dare to guarantee themselves a victory against this group.

“So it’s Captain Wen Qingxuan. I’ve been looking forward to meeting you for a long time.”

As those thoughts revolved within his mind, a faint smile appeared on Mu Chen’s face as he cupped his hands toward her.

Quietly standing by Mu Chen’s side, Luo Li shot a somewhat strange look towards Wen Qingxuan. Although she had seen her before, they couldn’t be said to be anymore than aquantancances. Initially, while in the Spiritual Road, Luo Li’s mind was only set on dealing with Ji Xuan, which resulted in her not having the heart and mind to form connections.

Looking towards Wen Qingxuan, the latter suddenly panned her head over, causing two similarly beautiful and soul-stirring eyes, yet possessing entire different temperaments, to cross gazes.

These two young girls were both exceedingly outstanding, appearing as if the intelligence of the world had condensed into their bodies. They merely stood there, not saying a single word. Yet, a unique atmosphere started to extend and envelope, causing the people at the side to be unable to interrupt their staredown. Naturally, there was also no one that was willing to break this graceful challenge.

As their beautiful eyes crossed gazes, it appeared as if something scorching-hot seemed to gush from the depths of Wen Qingxuan’s eyes, causing Luo Li to become slightly startled. Getting a strange feeling from it, she subsequently panned her gaze away.

Brimming with smiling intent, Wen Qingxuan took light and graceful steps forward, walking towards Mu Chen, as her alluring figure caused other people to be unable to stop following her every move with their eyes. Bringing about a delicate fragrance, she drew closer towards Mu Chen and Luo Li. As she did so, Mu Chen was finally able to clearly see this alluring beauty.

Faced against Wen Qingxuan, even Mu Chen had to sigh in admiration towards her. Just based on her exquisiteness and degree of beauty, Wen Qingxuan was not one bit inferior to Luo Li, merely that her temperament was entirely different from Luo Li. Luo Li was like the lotus resting quietly within the mountain valley, making the troubles and worries within people’s hearts to gradually turn peaceful upon seeing her. Compared to her, Wen Qingxuan had a noble and arrogant air radiating from her, something like a phoenix that was soaring over the clouds would possess. It was extremely hard to find the softness and gentleness ordinary girls would have from her. Accentuating her slender and graceful figure, the tight-fitting golden battle armor on her body gave people a unique feeling of her being a goddess of war.

“Luo Li, we meet again.”

Standing before the two, Wen Qingxuan’s eyes were currently resting on Luo Li’s figure. Extending her slender and jade-like little hand, she said with a smile, “I’ve yet to thank you for what happened at the end of the Spiritual Road. If not for you obstructing Ji Xuan, I might not have been able to obtain the championship.”

With a faint smile, Luo Li shook her head as she extended her hand to give a gentle handshake to Wen Qingxuan. She didn’t have a cold and indifferent temperament, merely that she loved to be in a quiet and calm environment. The girl before her, Wen Qingxuan, could be the most outstanding girl of similar age that Luo Li had seen over the past few years. When girls as outstanding as the two met, there would mostly likely be two extremely different outcomes. One would be the rise of some hostility, while the other was them becoming somewhat emotional. This was similar to the so-called “mutual understanding and respect between men.”

Therefore, Luo Li did not reject Wen Qingxuan when faced with the latter’s friendly action.

“I’ve some grudge and grievances with Ji Xuan. Since Mu Chen was no longer in the Spiritual Road then, that’s why I personally took action. You’re very strong, and have relied on yourself to obtain the Spiritual Crown. I didn’t give any help to you,” replied Luo Li in a soft voice.

“If you had attempted to take the Spiritual Crown, then, I might not have been able to contend against you,” replied Wen Qingxuan with a smile as her beautiful eyes wandered about.

Choosing to reply, Luo Li only gave a smile back in response.

Looking at the two girls from the side, Mu Chen could not help rubbing his nose. For some unknown reason, he could faintly discern himself feeling unnecessary… furthermore, he could feel that the gaze Wen Qingxuan sent towards Luo Li wasn’t quite right…

Behind him, Xu Huang and the other two exchanged glances with each other. Under the envelopment of the atmosphere coming from the two girls, They didn’t even dare to utter a single word.

“Captain Wen Qingxuan. Could it be that you and your group didn’t rush here for us?” said Mu Chen with a soft cough. If it was a male who dared to get so close to Luo Li like that, his face would have already flipped and turned black. However, with the opposite party being such an enchanting girl, the only thing he could do was to endure.
