"An absolutely unexpected surprise?"
Su Han looked Shui Yue up and down, sensing the slight softness in her body.
"Has Master finally come around?"
At this moment, Shui Yue had no idea what Su Han was thinking...
As she spoke, her gaze drifted toward the white-clad girl in the distant crowd, Lu Xueqi.
It was not hard for her to see that her young disciple regarded Lu Xueqi, another disciple dear to her, rather differently.
In truth, she also wished to bring this about.
After all, setting aside the fact that one should keep good things within the family, it was better for her two most cherished disciples to be together than for Xueqi to marry into another peak.
What was more,
she could tell that Xueqi did not dislike Su Han either.
The reason they were always at odds was simply because she felt Su Han had taken everything that should have belonged to her.
Before Su Han came up the mountain, Lu Xueqi had been the most special person on Little Bamboo Peak.
It was all merely childish temper, coupled with her excessively competitive nature.
Just as Shui Yue was pondering this,
a commotion suddenly broke out on the arena platform in the distance.
Lu Xueqi stood upon the platform. Rather than looking at the disciple she was competing against, she looked toward Su Han on the raised platform, drew the Tian Ya Sword, and pointed it at him.
The surrounding disciples exchanged glances and began whispering among themselves.
"What's wrong with Junior Sister Xueqi? Why did she suddenly draw her sword at Junior Brother?"
"Could there be some conflict between them?
But I've never seen them clash much on ordinary days."
"Could it be that Junior Brother's formidable strength just now made Junior Sister Xueqi feel pressured?"
