A Catfight! Tian Ling'er Was Finished!

"Buzz—"

Tian Ling'er lifted her chin proudly.

She stared intently at Lu Xueqi in the distance, her bright, watery eyes wide as faint anger flickered in their depths.

The night before last.

She truly had not expected Lu Xueqi to disregard their past friendship so completely and point at her nose to scold her!

The more Tian Ling'er thought about it after returning, the angrier she became.

Since you, Lu Xueqi, refuse to show any consideration for our past relationship, then don't blame me for being rude!

But—

Wasn't what Lu Xueqi said the truth?

She had not actually scolded Tian Ling'er. From beginning to end, she had been trying to dissuade Tian Ling'er, and she had only done so out of consideration for their relationship. If it had been someone else...

Do you think she would have given a damn?

If anyone had truly been scolded.

It was Qi Hao whom Lu Xueqi had been scolding. A grown man still trying to rob the cradle? Tsk, tsk, tsk. Absolutely shameless.

Of course.

Lu Xueqi definitely would not curse someone out like that.

She would only fire off words like a machine gun. You would not hear a single swear word from her, yet you could still tell she was insulting you...

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Xueqi was not only sharp with a sword?

Her tongue was sharp too!

"Whoosh!"

The two girls exchanged glances.

The aloof maiden's eyes remained as icy as ever. Ever since Tian Ling'er had refused to heed her advice that night, she had become indifferent toward Tian Ling'er...

For a moment,

the atmosphere became somewhat strange.

The many Qingyun Disciples around them were rather baffled. They too had noticed that something was off between Lu Xueqi and Tian Ling'er. These two great beauties were both renowned figures within the Qingyun Sect...

Their relationship should not have been poor.

So why had they suddenly fallen out?

Though the many Qingyun Disciples were curious, they cared even more about the match. After all, this was a duel between two beautiful young women!

It was not to be missed!

For a time, the Qingyun Disciples gathered around the arena, intending to watch the upcoming match.

Meanwhile.

On the High Platform.

Su Ru, Shui Yue, and the others were also somewhat bewildered.

In their recollection, Lu Xueqi and Tian Ling'er had gotten along quite well. Why were they suddenly at odds today?

Su Ru frowned slightly.

She glanced at Tian Ling'er, then at Lu Xueqi, as if something had occurred to her...

At that thought.

Su Ru's gaze shifted toward Wang Quan Yan.

She more or less understood everything.

The grievances between them...

were probably inseparable from Xiao Yan.

And that was indeed the answer.

Wang Quan Yan accounted for most of the reason Tian Ling'er and Lu Xueqi had become like this.

Shui Yue understood as well.

She pondered for a moment but said nothing.

She had seen Wang Quan Yan's excellence with her own eyes. Now that he had inherited Ghost Slaying God and was even the master of the Dragon Slaying Sword, she did not mind Lu Xueqi interacting with him...

To put it bluntly.

It still depended on the person.

If Wang Quan Yan had not inherited Ghost Slaying God, Shui Yue might not have treated him so favorably.

At this moment.

Tian Ling'er and Lu Xueqi exchanged another glance.

Then Tian Ling'er was the first to step onto the arena.

She wore flowing red robes, her beautiful hair fluttering in the wind. Her charming little face looked adorable, and an Amber Zhu Ling was tied around her slender waist.

"Good!"

Tian Ling'er's appearance on the stage immediately drew countless cheers.

Qi Hao led a group of Dragon Head Peak disciples below, cheering and encouraging her.

At the sight.

Tian Ling'er's eyes immediately curved into crescents.

Just as she was about to wave to Qi Hao in greeting...

"Whoosh!"

At that moment.

A brilliant azure streak of sword light suddenly cut across the sky.

Lu Xueqi—had taken the stage!

The aloof maiden wore flowing white robes, her long hair fluttering. Her icy face was fair with a faint rosy hue, and not the slightest flaw could be seen upon her exquisite, ethereal features. She merely stood there quietly, yet it seemed as though all radiance belonged to her...

Everyone else could only become a backdrop.

Even Tian Ling'er was no exception.

Seeing this.

Tian Ling'er frowned slightly.

She looked at Lu Xueqi before her with some displeasure. Before the fight had even begun, she opened her mouth to mock her. "Senior Sister Lu truly possesses peerless immortal beauty~"

The mockery in Tian Ling'er's words was obvious.

The instant she spoke.

The atmosphere was immediately pushed to its peak.

"Whoosh—"

Everyone around them turned to look.

Hearing this.

Lu Xueqi's expression did not change.

She remained as cool and clear as ever. Even though Tian Ling'er had verbally mocked her, she did not grow angry. She only looked calmly at Tian Ling'er, a trace of disappointment in her eyes...

Honestly.

No matter how disappointed Lu Xueqi was in Tian Ling'er.

She had never truly done anything to Tian Ling'er. Those words from the night before last had only been meant to dissuade her, but who would have thought...

Tian Ling'er now regarded her as an enemy!?

Lu Xueqi's pretty face grew colder and colder.

She was an exceedingly stubborn person and somewhat similar to Wang Quan Yan. She had never been willing to suffer losses or be bullied. If she held any grievance against someone?!

She would repay it on the spot!

Just like now.

Tian Ling'er had verbally mocked her?

Heh—

Then Tian Ling'er could not blame her for refusing to show any courtesy.

The aloof maiden held the Tianya Divine Sword. Her white robes billowed sharply, her gaze cold as she looked calmly at Tian Ling'er and said in an even tone:

"Nothing compared to Junior Sister Tian's graceful charm. Even Senior Brother Qi Hao of Dragon Head Peak has fallen beneath your skirts. I wonder whether Junior Sister Tian continued meeting Senior Brother Qi Hao in secret last night?"

"Whoosh—"

The moment those words were spoken, the entire crowd was shocked!

The many Qingyun Disciples stood there blankly.

They...

What had they just heard?

Senior Brother Qi Hao had fallen beneath Tian Ling'er's skirts?

And...

A secret rendezvous?!

Tian Ling'er and Qi Hao had gone out for a secret rendezvous at night?

Gasp—

The many Qingyun Disciples were utterly astonished.

They stared at the red-clad girl on the arena in shock, thinking, Doesn't she have a marriage arrangement with Wang Quan Yan? Why was she secretly meeting Qi Hao...

For a moment.

The many disciples' gazes swept repeatedly between Tian Ling'er and Qi Hao.

The two of them had abruptly become the center of attention.

At this moment.

Faced with everyone's stares.

Tian Ling'er's face immediately turned pale.

She saw surprise, contempt, confusion, and incomprehension in the way these people looked at her. They...

They did not think she had been unfaithful, did they?

In this era.

Parents' orders and matchmakers' words ruled all.

For an unmarried woman to be unfaithful was absolutely a tremendous scandal. Once exposed, a young woman's reputation would be utterly ruined.

In other words.

...Tian Ling'er was finished.

As for that.

Lu Xueqi's expression remained unchanged.

What did it have to do with her whether Tian Ling'er was finished or not? She had already tried to dissuade her, but Tian Ling'er had refused to listen. Worse still, she had treated Lu Xueqi as an enemy and mocked her the moment she arrived...

Since that was the case.

Then Tian Ling'er could not blame her for being impolite.

Lu Xueqi had never been someone willing to suffer losses.

As long as she had done nothing wrong, that was enough.

As for what happened to Tian Ling'er? That was not something Lu Xueqi needed to worry about!
