Life and Death Battle!

After dinner.

Ye Qiu sat on the mountaintop, hands propping up his chin, drinking in the desolate wind alone.

Behind him, Lu Li and Nan Qingyue sat at a stone table, holding hands, like two blooming sisters.

In front of outsiders, Lu Li was taciturn, cold, and arrogant. Nan Qingyue also had a cool exterior, decisive and straightforward.

But at this moment, they were completely different, chatting happily, laughing and scolding, with nothing they couldn't say.

"Li'er, look, this is the South Sea Blood Bright Pearl I found for you. It can clear the mind and refresh the spirit, aiding in enlightenment."

"Teacher, this item is very rare. Where did you get it?"

"Of course, I fought someone for it! I heard it's worth over a million, and it's hard to buy even with money!"

"Ah, then you didn't get hurt when you fought?"

Ye Qiu: "???"

Nan Qingyue said, "How could I? Even if I can't win, I can run very fast."

Lu Li said, "Teacher, you should still be careful. We've offended many, many people now. I'm afraid they'll retaliate in secret!"

Nan Qingyue smiled, "Li'er is so filial."

"Teacher, why does this pearl taste a little salty?"

Nan Qingyue said, "Maybe it's been soaking in the sea for too long... You don't like it? Then smash it, grind it into powder, and use it to wash your face."

Lu Li thought for a moment and said, "Okay."

Ye Qiu: "???"

With a snap, Ye Qiu turned his head slightly. The blood-red, extremely precious, rare pearl worth over a million was crushed right before his eyes.

Then it was put into a cup and diluted with water.

He gritted his teeth secretly. Look, just look carefully... aren't these two perfect prodigal daughters?

From now on, it's not just about being angry, it's mainly about... not being able to afford it!

A pearl worth over a million, and you just used it to wash your face? How precious is your face?

Lu Li said at this time, "Teacher, if I wash my face with this pearl, will my face also have a salty taste?"

Nan Qingyue exclaimed, "Oh no, I forgot about that... Never mind, let's feed it to the dog. But will the dog like it?"

Lu Li thought for a moment and said, "Let's not. Save it for my Ye Qiu. He likes to eat it; it can replenish Qi and Blood!"

Ye Qiu: "???"

Woman, you are insulting me!

It was late at night, and Nan Qingyue and Lu Li finally finished their conversation. Then, Lu Li looked at Ye Qiu and said, "Sleeping."

Ye Qiu got up with a look of utter despair. "Where am I sleeping?"

Lu Li said, "My room."

Ye Qiu roared, "In your dreams!"

Nan Qingyue said, "What, you want to sleep in my room?"

Ye Qiu: "..."

Is there a possibility that you two sleep in the same room?

But he didn't say it.

He didn't really want to talk to them.

He turned around silently and went to the Gravity Tower.

On the way, he wrote a letter home to his maternal grandfather, informing him.

After all, when he first came, he had promised his grandfather that he would return quickly.

Now it seemed that it might take a little longer.

The letter contained only eight characters: The matter is tricky, I will return later!

Three days later, Ye Qiu received a reply from the Wen Family, two characters, plus an emphasis mark: Understood!

He put away the letter and sighed silently. His family seemed to have known this situation was likely.

He felt offended.

He was really in a bad mood.

Moreover, during these three days, he had worked extremely hard. His Qi and Blood and Cultivation had improved significantly again.

His Fist Technique, Saber technique, and that Essence, Qi, and Spirit had become even more potent.

But compared to Lu Li...

Why are you meditating on Artistic Conception for no reason?

Just then, several people flashed out from the side and blocked their path. The leader was a tall, sturdy man.

The man looked at Ye Qiu, "You are Ye Qiu?"

Ye Qiu shook his head, "No!"

The man's face suddenly turned icy, "I've seen your portrait, you are him!"

Ye Qiu looked at the Big Guy, who clearly came looking for trouble with a displeased expression, and said irritably, "If you know, why ask?"

The man's face darkened, "Do you have a marriage contract with Senior Sister Lu Li?"

Ye Qiu sighed, what he knew would come eventually, he knew someone would find trouble.

"Do you know who Senior Sister Lu Li is?"

Ye Qiu said, "Are you going to say I'm not good enough for her?"

The man said, "It's good that you know!"

Ye Qiu said, "How about this, I'll take you to Lu Li, and you can tell her these things clearly, alright?"

The tall man's face suddenly turned ugly, "Trying to use Senior Sister Lu Li to pressure me?"

Ye Qiu: "???"

He sneered, "No wonder you're so good-looking, turns out you're just a pretty boy who hides behind women!"

Ye Qiu took a deep breath and said, "Alright, you say it, what do you want to do?"

"If you're a man, you'll bear it yourself!"

"You want to fight?"

"One battle to decide life and death!"

Ye Qiu glanced at him, "Is killing allowed here?"

The tall man, named Wu Gang, looked at Ye Qiu with a cold sneer, "Trying to use the Academy's laws to pressure me again?"

"If you're a man, follow me to the Life and Death Stage!"

"Don't even think about hiding, because you can hide from the fifteenth of the first month, but not the fifteenth of the month. I have plenty of time and ways to kill you!"

Ye Qiu looked at him deeply, "Point me in a direction?"

Wu Gang also looked at Ye Qiu deeply, and the next moment, he walked directly towards the Life and Death Stage.

The few people behind him glanced at Ye Qiu playfully before walking in that direction.

"This kid's got some guts, huh?"

"He's got nothing, Wu Gang Senior Brother just cornered him here."

"Wu Gang Senior Brother is at Tongxuan seventh level, a top 100 contestant on the South Province Ranking. That kid is just a freshman, isn't this like a mouse licking a cat's teeth, asking for death?"

"It's hilarious!"

Ye Qiu ignored them and strode to catch up. Soon, they arrived in a mountain valley.
