At first.
The moment Wang Quan Yan and Lu Xueqi stepped onto the arena,
their relationship went no further than that of "rivals."
But—
following Wang Quan Yan's public confession?
Their relationship immediately rose from "rivals" to pursuer and pursued. To be honest...
If they had merely been rivals,
Lu Xueqi could still have kept a straight face and looked at Wang Quan Yan coldly.
After all, she had an obsession in her heart.
She had sworn to claim the championship of the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament and repay her master for years of care and upbringing.
But.
Once their relationship had risen to pursuer and pursued?
Lu Xueqi truly could not remain cold.
After all.
She had already held a certain degree of affection for Wang Quan Yan.
Three months ago, when Wang Quan Yan had subtly revealed his feelings at Small Bamboo Peak, she had nearly been too embarrassed to walk, let alone now...
What sort of occasion was this?!
The Qingyun Sect's Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament!
The elite disciples of the Seven Peaks were basically all here!
Wang Quan Yan had chosen this occasion to confess publicly? Wasn't that the same as telling the entire Qingyun Sect, even the entire cultivation world...
The aloof maiden stood there blankly.
She wore a flowing white dress, her beautiful hair draped over her shoulders. Her perfect face looked cold, yet an unmistakable flush had already crept across it.
Lu Xueqi gripped the Tianya Divine Sword.
She lowered her eyes slightly and pressed her lips together, not knowing what to do for the moment.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I supposed to do?
She had always been a little socially anxious, and now Wang Quan Yan had made her the focus of countless eyes. It really left her at a complete loss...
But, for some reason.
Other than panic and embarrassment, Lu Xueqi felt no other emotions.
Disgust?
Did she dislike Wang Quan Yan?
Apparently not.
If she disliked Wang Quan Yan, then when she had encountered the Dragon Head Peak disciples, she would not have acted so domineering...
So?
Do I like him too?
Lu Xueqi asked herself.
To be honest.
She did not know what to do either.
After all, it was her first time facing such a situation.
Moreover.
Her temperament was somewhat aloof.
She was especially slow and awkward when it came to matters of the heart.
The girl gently bit her lip, trying her best to think over the matter in her heart. For a moment, she even forgot about the present occasion.
On the arena.
The young man and young woman stood facing each other.
Following Wang Quan Yan's public confession.
The atmosphere instantly reached its peak.
Countless Qingyun Disciples turned their gazes toward Lu Xueqi, wanting to see how she would respond to Wang Quan Yan...
Would she accept him?
Or reject him?
On the High Platform.
The Peak Masters were also rather surprised by this development.
It was their first time seeing someone openly declare their feelings during the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament...
True Person Dao Xuan watched with great interest.
He actually quite approved of Wang Quan Yan and Lu Xueqi being together. After all, both were geniuses of the Qingyun Sect; being together would only make the Qingyun Sect more stable.
Tian Buyi grinned broadly.
He glanced at the aloof Taoist nun not far away and was surprised to find that Shui Yue had not shown any opposition...
At this very moment.
Under the gazes of the crowd.
The aloof maiden stood on the arena, tightly clutching the Tianya Divine Sword. Her pretty face was crimson as she desperately thought of how to respond to Wang Quan Yan's confession...
As she thought.
Time passed second by second.
She stood there blankly, still giving no response.
Like an android girl.
Seeing this.
Wang Quan Yan could not help but smile.
He knew that Lu Xueqi was an android girl. She looked cold and detached, but in reality knew absolutely nothing about romance. She was terribly slow-witted, just like Zhang Xiaofan.
Precisely because of this.
If one wanted to pursue an android girl like this?
One had to attack boldly and without hesitation!
Take the initiative!
One absolutely had to take the initiative!
Whether it was a direct confession or a public declaration of love!
The effects were extremely obvious!
Just like right now?
Although the android girl had not responded.
That did not mean she had rejected him.
Think about it—she was socially anxious to begin with. How could she dare respond in public?
Perhaps.
Even she herself did not know what she was thinking.
After all, she was an android girl.
Her brain's processing speed was limited.
If she was not careful, her CPU would burn out.
Wang Quan Yan chuckled. He raised a hand slightly and spoke, interrupting the android girl's thoughts.
"Senior Sister Lu."
"Let's set everything else aside for now."
"Shouldn't we be preparing to fight?"
Wang Quan Yan's sudden words instantly woke the android girl from her thoughts. Her CPU really had been burned out; she truly had no idea what had been going through her mind...
"Ah?"
The android girl raised her head blankly.
After hearing Wang Quan Yan's words, the stubbornness in her heart gradually surged forth. That was right... it was time to fight. She had to win the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament!
She had to repay her master!
At this moment.
The relationship between the android girl and Wang Quan Yan once again rose to the level of rivals.
Whoosh!
The blush on Lu Xueqi's pretty face gradually faded.
She put on a cold, aloof expression as she looked at Wang Quan Yan, battle intent gradually rising in her eyes.
For a moment,
everyone present was somewhat bewildered.
Huh?
Wasn't this a confession?
Why were they suddenly preparing to fight?
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
This couple was really interesting.
What did they take the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament for?!
Bastard!
Some people secretly felt sour inside.
After all.
Everyone had seen Lu Xueqi's earlier attitude.
Blushing, embarrassed, and not rejecting him.
Wasn't that basically agreeing?
Sob, sob, sob.
My Senior Sister Lu...
Wang Quan Yan, I beg you, don't touch her!
Some Qingyun Disciples kept shouting in their hearts.
Boom!
On the arena.
The match officially began.
Lu Xueqi drew the Tianya Divine Sword without hesitation.
Wang Quan Yan also gave the android girl the greatest respect and drew the Sovereign Sword.
Whoosh!
For a moment, Sword Qi crisscrossed the arena.
Lu Xueqi practically went all out. She wielded the Tianya Divine Sword and launched attack after attack at Wang Quan Yan without holding back in the slightest, because that was the greatest respect she could show him.
As for Wang Quan Yan?
From beginning to end, his expression remained calm.
He easily dealt with every attack from the android girl.
Seeing this.
Lu Xueqi could not help but bite her lip slightly.
Is dealing with me really this easy?
She felt somewhat unwilling. Her stubbornness surged up, and she silently increased her strength.
Boom!
The collisions between the Tianya Divine Sword and the Sovereign Sword became increasingly fierce.
Had these two truly begun fighting in earnest?!
The watching crowd exchanged uneasy glances.
Weren't they a couple?
Why had they not held back, but instead started fighting in earnest...
Pfft!
Lu Xueqi's blood and qi surged within her body.
A trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, and her face gradually turned pale and weak...
As for Wang Quan Yan?
He was still as relaxed as ever.
Seeing this.
Lu Xueqi became even more unwilling.
She silently recalled the Tianya Divine Sword, then raised it toward the sky without hesitation.
She...
What was the android girl going to do?!
She was going to unleash the Divine Sword Husband Taming True Art!
