Chapter 46 - Mesas Resolve (1/2)

Teleporting back into his room after thoroughly beating and humiliating Murong Yi, Mesa just went to lie down on his bed and stored Murong Yi's spear in his inventory. About 15 minutes later, Cang Yue showed up in his room.

”First off, congratulations on your victory. It was very much expected that you'd win. But did you really have to do it in such a flashy way?” Said Cang Yue while heaving a sigh.

”What other way is there than? Are you seriously telling me to be humble when I face someone so blatantly arrogant?!” Asked Mesa with fake look of shock on his face.

”Well… Maybe. Couldn't hurt, I guess.” Said Cang Yue hesitantly.

”NO!! I shall not, for it is my destiny to show these arrogant people that there is always someone stronger than them and show them how wrong their arrogant ways are.” Said Mesa in an overly proud way and standing there in an overly proud way.

Seeing him act this way, Cang Yue just looks at him for a few moments before he shakes her head in resignation and says: ”You sure are enjoying this, aren't you?”

”I sure am!” Nods Mesa confidently.

Hearing Mesa not even bothering to hide his ulterior motives, Cang Yue just burst in laughter before she walks over to Mesa and wraps her arms around his neck. Before long she pressed her lips against Mesa's and they were just enjoying each other's warmth, until someone suddenly opened the door.

The door to the room was pushed open with a ”bang”, and a hearty voice, coupled with loud laughter, spread throughout the room. ”Hahahaha! Uchiha Mesa, you little rascal, your performance today was simply amazing! As expected, you once again gave me a good shock. So no matter what, I have to personally hand you this Goldscale Dragon Transforming Pellet...”

The one who suddenly came into the room was Qin Wuyou and what he saw startled him, to say the least. He saw Cang Yue arms around Mesa's neck, while his arms were around her waist and their lips were locked together.

”Ah————” Cang Yue cried out in shock as she escaped from Mesa's embrace. She helplessly turned around and covered her face, which was currently flushed red, with her hands.

Mesa on the other hand turned to Qin Wuyou, pretty frustrated that he came in at such an inopportune time and without even knocking.

”Hasn't anyone ever told you to knock first before you barge into someone else's room!” bellowed out Mesa at Qin Wuyou, who was just dumbfounded at what he saw.

”I... I... I... I... I...” Qin Wuyou, one of the only few Chief Instructors of Blue Wind Profound Palace, was currently utterly dumbfounded. His lips were curved and his eyes were slanted as he revealed a terrified look. He stuttered: ”I-I... en… entered the wrong room. Y-y-y-you... You two... go on... go on...”

Qin Wuyou said as he retreated. When he reached the door, he even fell onto the floor from tripping over the door's sill. It was obvious that he did not even turn to look at where he was going. After struggling to stand up, without even looking back at them, he booked it right out of there.

Completely embarrassed and flushed red at being caught red-handed, Cang Yue just kept her head down and walked straight out of the room, not even bothering to look back. Seeing her leave like that, Mesa just clicked his tongue in frustration and mumbling to himself: ”F.u.c.k.i.n.g c.o.c.k blocking bastard, not even having the goddamn common decency to knock first.”

Just as he wanted to close the door, Qin Wuyou walked into his room with a stiff expression on his face.

”You... You rascal.” The corner of Qin Wuyou's mouth twitched. Then, he let out a long sigh as he walked into the room. He sat in front of the table, poured a cup of tea for himself with the teapot, and gulped it down.

”Instructor Qin, are you personally here to hand me the Goldscale Dragon Transforming Pellet?” Yun Che sat in front of Qin Wuyou and asked this rhetorical question.

However, Qin Wuyou did not nod at his question. Instead, he stared at him and said in a strange tone: ”Ever since you arrived here two months ago, you and Xueruo had been spending so much time with each other every day. I had my suspicions but I didn't expect that, y-y-y-y-you...”

”Don't you mean princess Cang Yue.” Said Mesa causing Qin Wuyou eyes widen in shock.

”Y-y-y-y-you… How?! When?! Just… What?!” stammered Qin Wuyou at Mesa's sudden remark.

”Three months ago, she told me herself on the day when I left New Moon City. I already had my suspicions about her but I just waited for her to come to me and I confronted her with it.” Said Mesa in a calm tone.

”Huh... Did she now?” Muttered Qin Wuyou as he let this piece of news sink in.

”And before you ask me. Yes, she did ask me to represent the Imperial Family during the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament and I said yes.” Said Mesa causing Qin Wuyou to get elated hearing this.
