Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss

Chapter 108: Underhand

Lan Xinyu looked at Ling Chuxi in a daze. She lowered her head and cast her line of sight down to her own two hands that were still trembling slightly.

She lost! She was defeated so thoroughly without a chance of turning the tides!

“What is this? Ling Chuxi won?”

Of course! Are you blind? Wasn’t it obvious enough?”

“No, it’s just that I find it too hard to believe! Our White Stone Academy’s peerless genius has actually been defeated just like that.”

“Ling Chuxi is the true peerless genius! That was too amazing! I have decided that she will be my idol from now on.”

...

In the audience area facing the stage, there were currently a lot of discussions going around and voices were being raised louder and louder. Lan Xinyu’s face had turned ash white by now. She thought she would win in this exchange of pointers, she never thought she would suffer such a thorough defeat like this! This was her first time experiencing such a shameful defeat! At present, it wasn’t merely a question of never being able to go back to her previous status of receiving respect and praise, but rather it was the prickling of an incredible sense of shame that cut into her heart like a sharp knife. It was overwhelming to the point where she could not breathe.

“How does it feel Lan Xinyu? Is your first taste of defeat satisfying and enjoyable?” asked Ling Chuxi playfully as she sheathed the Luo Chen Sword with a smile.

Lan Xinyu’s body froze as she lifted her head to look at Ling Chuxi in rage. Ling Chuxi wasn’t the least bit bothered by Lan Xinyu’s glare, she sneered as she turned away to look at the adjudicating teacher instead. He was still in a daze.

“Teacher, are you buying time or something? Or do you also wish to be like the teacher who was in charge of registration at the training the other day? Do you want to speak blindly with your eyes wide open and declare Lan Xinyu as the winner?” The corners of Ling Chuxi’s lips curled into a provocative arc as she stared straight at the teacher and questioned him. Her tone wasn’t the least bit courteous. Lan Xinyu heard Ling Chuxi’s words and almost wanted to spew blood. Ling Chuxi saying this was practically cutting open her wounds. She had indeed felt a little guilty due to the teacher’s biasness yesterday. She felt it constantly tug at her heart. Now that Ling Chuxi had spelt it out so clearly in front of everyone, she felt even more ashamed and embarrassed.

The adjudicating teacher finally regained his senses and immediately announced loudly, “The winner of this exchange of pointers is Ling Chuxi! The first place in this year’s experiential training competition is awarded to the small team consisting of Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen!” Under such circumstances, how could he dare be biased towards anyone? If he dared to declare Lan Xinyu as the winner, it would be an outcome he was unable to bear as it would ruin the good name of the White Stone Academy!

Once the adjudicating teacher’s words settled, the crowd was even more stirred up. This was a beautiful counterattack. Nobody thought that Ling Chuxi would actually be declared the winner, but she was. And she won so beautifully at that.

Ling Chuxi smiled slightly and walked to the side of the fighting ring where Little White had been waiting for her. She bent slightly to pick Little White up. Just as she was about to take her leave, a clear voice rang out across the whole venue, overpowering the noise of the boisterous discussions everyone else was having.

“Lan Xinyu, didn’t you say that if you lost in the training to Ling Chuxi that you would kowtow to her three times and then leave White Stone City?” The voice was disguised so no one could clearly identify where the person was speaking from.

Right then, Lan Xinyu’s face became even paler, as though the blood on her face had been drained. She had subconsciously tried to forget about the bet, but now the details of it had been shouted out for everyone to hear.

The principal and the teachers watching from the platform frowned. Wasn’t this bet a little too ruthless? Master Lan also furrowed his brow as he watched the situation unfold. He could tell that someone was intentionally bringing up the matter at this time on purpose. The person had disguised his or her voice to make it difficult to pinpoint who the speaker was and where the voice came from. Obviously, the speaker was afraid of the Lan family’s wrath regarding the matter once it had come to pass.

Nobody noticed Pei Qianqian lowering her head as she waited by the side of the stage. There was an evil and scary smile on her face that remained unseen. Her eyes were full of frenzied elation.
