World Famous Painting Why Did Ash Riya Lose

Zhu Meng burst out laughing, "You believe that? A 21-year-old can capture a Monarch? Do you think he's a Super Tier Mage!"

"They're probably just exaggerating their genius at the Parthenon."

Luo Mian frowned, "This is news that came from within the Parthenon, it has credibility."

Zhu Meng shook his head and chuckled, "Alright, alright, let's assume it's true, that Mu Ningwei captured a Monarch. Then what? I remember the new Golden Knight is a female Mage. Did she capture two Monarchs?"

"This... it's said that the new Golden Knight's record is killing an Advancing Tier Commander."

Zhu Meng burst into laughter, "Then is the Parthenon blind? They passed the assessment for Mu Ningwei, who captured a Monarch, and instead passed an old woman with no potential and a poor record."

Luo Mian was speechless.

Zhu Meng continued, "Even taking a step back, if Mu Ningwei truly had such strength, how old is he? Would the Parthenon's higher-ups be brain-dead to allow him to withdraw and return home safely."

"If it were our Imperial Palace Court, wouldn't Chief Pang Lai immediately nominate him as the next chief? Even if he didn't have a granddaughter, he'd introduce a good friend's granddaughter to Mu Ningwei to completely tie him to the Imperial Palace Court."

Luo Mian: "My friend said that the Parthenon's First Saintess, Ash Riya, who was sworn allegiance to by the Knight Hall Master, is rumored to be in a romantic relationship with Mu Ningwei."

Zhu Meng was speechless, "What, did that Ash Riya break up with such a monstrous genius? And then Mu Ningwei, a High-level Mage, could suppress Hailong and the others, preventing those powerful individuals from forcibly keeping him?"

"Are you writing a novel? How could something so absurd happen in reality?"

"It's definitely the Parthenon bragging. Don't we also brag about a few flashy but useless geniuses, putting them in the spotlight to cover for the real talents?"

Luo Mian had nothing more to say.

He planned to go back and sternly question his friend, to see if he had been lied to.

He even had the perfect retort, ready to throw Zhu Meng's words back at him verbatim.

Parthenon Temple.

Saintess Hall, Living Room.

"Saintess, something has happened."

Hailong sighed.

Ash Riya asked tiredly, "Uncle Hailong, what is it now?"

Hailong was also puzzled, "A Silver Moon Knight received a call, and after returning, went mad. He publicly cursed you for being blind and driving Ningwei away, then immediately defected to Pamirs."

Ash Riya trembled with anger.

"It's been half a year! That incident happened over half a year ago!"

"Is it still interesting to hold onto this grudgingly!"

"I've already apologized to everyone; I've also promised to bring Ningwei back."

"Why are they still using that incident to criticize me!"

Ash Riya's eyes reddened, and she clenched her fists:

"Ningwei, Ningwei, Ningwei, Ningwei, Ningwei! I've done so much these past six months, are they all blind!"

Hailong was startled, not expecting Ash Riya to react so strongly.

Before Hailong could say anything.

Ash Riya calmed down, wiped the moisture from her eyes, and immediately said, "Please, Uncle Hailong, step in and quell the disturbance caused by the Knight Hall. I will go to the Knight Hall tomorrow to offer my condolences again."

Hailong worried, "Saintess, are you really okay?"

Ash Riya apologized, "Sorry, Uncle Hailong, I lost my composure. The pressure has been building up lately, I'll find a way to adjust."

Hailong: "I controlled the situation immediately. Saintess, why don't you rest for a few days?"

"It's okay, thank you for your concern, Uncle Hailong."

Hailong hesitated for a moment, sighed inwardly, and left the Saintess Hall.

Ash Riya sat on the wolf fur sofa, her eyes sadly cast down, curling into a ball, hugging her knees.

"Ningwei, I really can't hold on much longer, please come back quickly..."

A moment later, Ash Riya gritted her teeth.

"I won't be so weak, I can live well without you too!"

"If you don't want to come back, then don't. Who cares!"

Ash Riya stood up, huffily entered the bedroom, and lay on the soft, white, spacious bed, hugging the pillow tightly.

Her two slender legs were clamped together, pressing beneath her buttocks, her eyes filled with anger.

"Ningwei, you bastard, you bastard!"

Her fists pounded the pillow. After a long time, Ash Riya, covered in sweat, collapsed breathlessly, her face sinking into the soft cushion.

"Hoo~ Hoo~ Hoo~"

"You bastard Ningwei, I'll prove to you that I can live well without you!"

Ash Riya did not want to bring Mu Ningwei back.

She didn't want to, at least not until she defeated Pamirs and mastered the Parthenon.

She would ascend to the top of the Parthenon and then bring Mu Ningwei back.

At that time, whether he wanted to be a Golden Knight or a Hall Master, he could be whatever he wanted.

No matter what Mu Ningwei desired—status, resources, wealth, subordinates—

Ash Riya would give it to him.

Hangcheng Academy Grand Arena.

"I won, next."

The beautiful woman with long, straight black hair, expressionless, released the Earth Forest cage and let out the suffocating, unconscious boy inside.

Tens of thousands of teachers and students were collectively speechless, gazing at the aloof beauty on the stage with anger, amazement, and longing.

The referee took away the defeated opponent, and a new challenger stepped onto the stage.

"It's Zhao Yuyu from the Fire Institute, ranked first. Fire Element counters Plant Element. With her here, Mu Nujiao will definitely lose!"

"That's right, this Mu Nujiao is too arrogant, daring to challenge our Hangcheng Academy! Senior Sister Zhao will teach her a lesson!"

Zhao Yuyu, a woman dressed in fiery attire, said seriously:

"Mu Nujiao, you've just defeated 38 people. Your magic energy is greatly depleted. I'll give you time to recover for a fair fight."

Mu Nujiao waved her hand, "No need. I hope you can bring me some combat enjoyment."

She was challenging the academy to build her reputation.

This would make it easier for Mu Zhanxing to operate and secure her votes for the National Prefecture Contest.

Mu Ningwei would participate in the National Prefecture Contest, and she couldn't fall behind.

Zhao Yuyu's expression turned grim, "So arrogant! Let me teach you a lesson!"

Her Fire and Earth Elements were both maxed out at the Intermediate level. With a Spirit Seed, why should she fear a Plant Mage?

"Battle begin!"

Mu Nujiao activated the Earth Forest, while Zhao Yuyu unleashed her Spirit Fire to burn the Burning Vine, smiling triumphantly:

"I counter your Plant Element, just admit defeat!"

Mu Nujiao showed a hint of fighting spirit, "Not bad, you're worth getting serious for. Go, Pseudo-Terror Demon."

Her Plant Element star chart flashed, and countless black vines erupted, covering half the stage and attacking Zhao Yuyu from all directions like a tide!

Zhao Yuyu's face changed drastically, "This is bad!"

Mu Nujiao chuckled and constructed a Wind Element star chart beneath her.

Zhao Yuyu was fully resisting the Pseudo-Terror Demon and had no free hands to stop the wind disk forming beside her.

She lost...

Zhao Yuyu slumped, not expecting that the more than thirty students before her hadn't even managed to entertain Mu Nujiao.

Just as she was about to accept defeat, the wind disk beside her suddenly dissipated, and the Pseudo-Terror Demon also vanished.

Zhao Yuyu was stunned, watching Mu Nujiao run towards the edge of the stage.

"Hey, what are you doing! I haven't surrendered yet. If you run off the stage, your hard-earned winning streak will be cleared!"

Mu Nujiao didn't look back, ignoring Zhao Yuyu's shouts. She jumped off the stage and ran joyfully towards a handsome man, placing her hands on her hips proudly:

"Brother Ningwei, why are you here? Wasn't I cool just now!"

Mu Ningwei said helplessly, "Weren't you still planning to challenge the academy? Why did you run down?"

Mu Nujiao's smile bloomed, "Are votes more important than Brother Ningwei? Are you done with your business?"

Zhao Yuyu looked at Mu Nujiao, who was acting obedient and cute in front of Mu Ningwei, in astonishment.

Was this still the aloof goddess who had pressured Hangcheng Academy and defeated dozens of geniuses from the main campuses?
