Chapter 104: Do You Dare To Accept My Challenge? (2)

“Oh.” Leng Ruoxue answered lightly, obviously not in a good mood.

After eating, Leng Ruoxue returned to her room and entered the Heaven and Earth Bracelet.

“Big Sister.” Qing Jue appeared in front of her.

“Qing Jue, where are those little fellows?” Leng Ruoxue was a little curious. If they knew that she came in, they would have pounced on her immediately. Why didn’t they come today?

“I locked them up for cultivation. They only know how to play all day. When can they grow up?!” Qing Jue said disgruntledly.

“Well done. Those little fellows are a little too naughty,” Leng Ruoxue praised while gently pinching Qing Jue’s beautiful little face.

“Big Sister, you’re taking advantage of me again!” Qing Jue pouted his red lips as he complained, but a hint of affection flashed across his eyes.

“…”

“How could I? You little thing, what’s there to take advantage of?” Leng Ruoxue defended herself with a few black lines hanging on her forehead.

“Big Sister always likes to touch me. Wouldn’t that be considered taking advantage of me?” A cunning look flashed past Qing Jue’s eyes, and the word ‘wronged’ was written all over his pink face.

“Uh…” Leng Ruoxue was a little embarrassed, and she immediately left the Heaven and Earth Bracelet after taking some items.

After leaving the Heaven and Earth Bracelet, Leng Ruoxue went straight to her brother’s room and knocked on the door gently.

“Xue’er.” Leng Ruohan opened the door and welcomed his sister into the room.

“Big Brother, we are going to the palace tonight. Are you coming with us?” Leng Ruoxue asked.

“Xue’er, Big Brother didn’t receive an invitation. Of course I can’t go,” Leng Ruohan said indifferently.

“Big Brother, of course you can go if you want to. Let’s see who would dare to stop you!” Leng Ruoxue said domineeringly. She would be worried if her brother stayed in the inn.

“Xue’er, Big Brother doesn’t want to go,” Leng Ruohan said. He wasn’t interested in boring social gatherings.

“Then Big Brother should play in the Heaven and Earth Bracelet!” Leng Ruoxue suggested.

“Okay. I happen to miss Big White and his family,” Leng Ruohan said understandingly, knowing that his sister was worried about his safety.

After exiting Leng Ruohan’s room, Leng Ruoxue went to look for Ye Chen.

“Xue’er, let’s take a walk around the streets!” Ye Chen said after seeing her.

“Okay, this is for you.” Leng Ruoxue handed him the armor she had refined.

Ye Chen happily accepted it. After binding it with a drop of blood, he held it in his hand and looked at it over and over again. Not only was the style of his armor different from Leng Ruohan’s, but the color was also different. Leng Ruohan’s was white, while his was black. He might have wanted Leng Ruohan’s previously, but it was obvious that he preferred his own.

After he felt that he had looked over it enough, he hurriedly put the armor on and looked at Leng Ruoxue expectantly. “How is it?”

“Not bad. It suits you very well.” Leng Ruoxue knew that this armor was very suitable for this freak.

“Then I’ll wear it from now on,” Ye Chen said with satisfaction. The armor Xue’er made looked like ordinary clothes, and no one would be able to tell that it was battle armor.

“Okay.”

Ye Chen held Leng Ruoxue’s soft hand, and the two of them walked out of the Elegance Lagoon Pavilion. This was the first time he held Xue’er’s hand openly, and she didn’t refuse. His relationship with her had finally taken another step.

The two of them walked around the streets for a while. But there were too many people on the streets, and they would be surrounded and looked at wherever they went. They had no choice but to return to the Elegance Lagoon Pavilion. Alas! This was the price of fame!

…

At night, the imperial palace sent a carriage to pick them up from the Elegance Lagoon Pavilion. After the people from three academies got into the carriage, they found that Pang Sen and others from the Lunar Shadow Academy were already inside.

The carriage was very luxurious and spacious, so it didn’t feel crowded even though there were more than ten people in it. The four academies each sat in one corner, ignoring each other. Leng Ruoxue leaned comfortably against Ye Chen and closed her eyes to take a nap. No one spoke on the way to the imperial palace, so the carriage appeared abnormally dull.

However, Ye Chen was quite happy along the way because Xue’er was leaning on him. He took the opportunity to pull her into his arms and took advantage of her openly without any qualms. Hehe!

“Xue’er, we’ve arrived at the palace.” Ye Chen was a little regretful. Why did we arrive so soon?

Everyone alighted from the carriage one by one. The imperial palace was grand and majestic, but it was not very attractive to them. Most of them came from aristocratic families, so it was nothing spectacular to them.

“Esteemed guests, please follow me.” A young eunuch walked to them, bowed respectfully, and then led the way.

After walking for about ten minutes, they arrived at the banquet hall. The young eunuch led them to the prearranged seats and left.

The Heavenly Phoenix Academy only won second place in the previous Academy Competition. Although the competition this time was very eye-catching, the competition, especially the most important individual competition, was not over yet, so their seats were still arranged according to the previous placing.

The Rising Dragon College was at the front, followed by the Heavenly Phoenix Academy, Lunar Shadow Academy, and Flying Bird Academy. Seated opposite them were various aristocratic families.

“Elder Qiu, didn’t you say that only the students with excellent performance in the Academy Competition and their elders would be invited?” After sitting down, Leng Ruoxue looked at Elder Qiu with a questioning gaze. There seemed to be people from the top ten academies other than the four academies.

“They’re no longer in the competition. The imperial palace must have sent them an invitation individually,” Elder Qiu guessed. It was not like this had never happened before.

Leng Ruoxue nodded slightly, closed her eyes again, and leaned against Ye Chen as if no one was here.

“How shameless! How dare she lean on a man in public!” Ximen Ya whispered in jealousy.

“I’m afraid no one wants you to lean on him!” Feng Da said mockingly while looking at this princess who liked to cause trouble for his young lady.

Losing control of herself from anger, Ximen Ya immediately stood up and ordered, “You… How dare you! Guards, drag this lowly commoner out!”
