Chapter 197 : The Hallmaster Wants to Get Married Off 13 (2/2)

“Let’s hope she can… I mean, hasn’t she lasted till now?”

“I didn’t know she was this strong. Luckily, I didn’t toss stones down a well at her before.”

Female leads were really leads (unkillable cockroaches); they’d always manage to triumph in the end in spite of the odds.

Once the Nine Silences Hall competitors were reduced to one contender, Shi Sheng suddenly poked Bu Jingyun. “Get one of your guys to come over.”

Bu Jingyun stared at her in confusion.

“What’re you looking at me for? There’s plenty of time to look all you want in the future! Go call someone over, don’t you understand?”

“Hmph!”

Shi Sheng, “…”

Bu Jingyun transmitted his order for the Sentinel to send someone over, whereupon Shi Sheng retrieved several purple balls and handed them over to him.

Having witnessed the terrifying power of those balls—which could explode upon impact to generate lightning, which was even more frightening than a spirit power explosion—his hand couldn’t help but tremble. ‘What if it blows up?!’

“If you can’t win, just toss it.”

“This…” He quailed. ‘Surely, that’s… not okay? And aren’t you on the opposing side? How come you’re helping us? Could it be you’ve really fallen for the Hallmaster?

The Hallmaster actually sold himself…’

Bu Jingyun’s cold gaze forced him to rein in his wild imagination. ‘Must not sully the Hallmaster!’

“Even if you don’t use an item, she will. This is the most help I can offer you.”

Although the rules didn’t forbid items, their use had virtually been non-existent throughout all the competitions thus far. So when Qin Langyue had used an item in the original setting, the Nine Silences Hall had been caught off-guard, thus resulting in their crushing defeat.

“Hallmaster?” ‘Can her words be trusted? She’s already kidnapped you, but still dares to parade you around so flagrantly around the Sentinel…’

Bu Jingyun didn’t speak.

Somehow, the disciple seemed to understand Bu Jingyun’s intent. He returned passed the items to the Sentinel informing him that the Hallmaster had agreed.

So right when Qin Langyue was about to use an item, the contender from Nine Silences Hall threw the little balls first, generating a string of explosions that forced Qin Langyue out of the ring and inflicting her with heavy injuries. Her personal well-being was uncertain.

Those from Nine Silences Hall cheered while those from Nine Provinces Academy wore expressions of disappointment and anger. ‘We nearly won! But Qin Langyue just HAD to lose at the critical juncture!’

First she’d shown them hope, but in the end, she submerged them into despair. Some people’s impressions of Qin Langyue plummeted.

If you won, you received honour and glory beyond compare.

If you lost, countless accusations were laid bare.

This was reality.

So… do not lose!

“Despicable! You used an item!” Some people spoke out to censure Nine Silences Hall.

“What’s so despicable about that? Didn’t your side plan to use an item too? All we did was beat you to it! And the rules never said using items was prohibited, so how is it despicable?!”

“Stop finding excuses for losing, geez!” Shi Sheng scoffed, her melodious voice easily audible over the rest. A strange silence befell the crowd.

The Sentinel found Shi Sheng much more appealing; though of course, this wasn’t enough to make him forget about how she’d kidnapped their Hallmaster!

“Shen Yaoguang, just whose side are you on?!” Zhong Shiyi’s eyes were practically spitting fire.

Shi Sheng spread her hands. “No one’s.”

‘I’m(bbb) just spectating the FL. And doing my(bbb) side job as a cannon fodder that pulls aggro while planning to destroy the world.’
