Chapter 112: Looks Rank Number One
The shop's treasure could not be presented in the end, as Yu Lang was in a state of tearful collapse, but the price paid for this was the removal of all males from the booklet.
Zhao Kuo and the other men agreed with this; who would want to see a ranking of men's looks? How boring!
"I think it's quite good. Can't we girls appreciate the looks of the opposite sex? I think Li Luo is indeed the number one in looks among the new students," Lu Qinger said, holding a dissenting opinion.
Li Luo said unhappily, "Compared to having people notice my looks, I prefer they focus on the sweat and effort I put into my cultivation."
"So it must be deleted!"
Lu Qinger rolled her eyes at Li Luo and did not argue with him, but still said to Yu Lang, "Although they object, I still support you."
"Me too," Chi Su chimed in.
"Sister Qinger is still the most understanding," Yu Lang said with tears in his eyes.
Li Luo opened the booklet again, and then he was somewhat surprised to discover that after him, the girl ranked number one in looks among the new students was not Lu Qinger, but a girl named Bai Mengmeng.
There was even a portrait of Bai Mengmeng above.
It was a young girl wearing a white dress; the girl's appearance was indeed extremely exquisite and pretty. Her long hair flowed, and there was a delicate charm between her brows that made one want to hold her in their arms and comfort her.
Below was her information: Bai Mengmeng, also from the Bai family of Gusu County, is the younger sister of Bai Doudou, and possesses the upper seventh-grade Water Nightmare Butterfly resonance.
"I think... you had better not support him for now," Li Luo sighed softly, and then, under Lu Qinger's puzzled gaze, he handed the booklet over.
Lu Qinger did not want to take it at first, saying indifferently, "I don't want to look at these things."
But her gaze still swept over it involuntarily, and when she discovered Bai Mengmeng ranked in first place, everyone felt a faint chill radiating from Lu Qinger's body.
Yu Lang sensed something was wrong and said, "Sister Qinger, let me explain."
Lu Qinger smiled and said, "Yu Lang, where do you think she is prettier than me?"
Zhao Kuo said with a simple and honest expression, "I think although this Bai Mengmeng is also very pretty, she is still a bit inferior to Sister Qinger."
"Sister Qinger's temperament is stronger than hers," Xiang Liang said.
"This Bai Mengmeng can be placed second," Zong Fu said.
Under Lu Qinger's gaze, Yu Lang trembled slightly and argued, "Sister Qinger, purely in terms of looks, I actually think you are indeed a bit stronger than her, but it's mainly her temperament, you know... that kind of 'pity-inducing' temperament of hers is more moving."
Lu Qinger nodded lightly and sighed, "This kind of delicate temperament is really hard for me to achieve."
Immediately, she turned her head and said gently to the shopkeeper who was still at the door, "Shopkeeper, my friend is treating today; he will cover all the consumption in the shop."
Yu Lang's face turned pale, and he hurriedly said, "Wait! I've reconsidered; actually, Sister Qinger, your cold and independent temperament better fits the values of today's young people, so I think my previous consideration was lacking. I will modify it immediately when I get back. This number one spot on the new student looks ranking must be you, Lu Qinger!"
Lu Qinger frowned slightly and said, "I don't care about this thing; it doesn't matter whether you change it or not."
Yu Lang hesitated for a moment and said, "Then... don't change it?"
"Boss," Lu Qinger beckoned with her small hand.
"I understand! Sister Qinger!" Yu Lang's eyes were filled with tears. He was truly naive to have believed what a woman said. They say they don't care, but if you really think they don't care, then you are truly the number one fool.
Lu Qinger smiled lightly, "Yu Lang, the booklet you published this time will definitely sell well!"
Yu Lang sat down and drank his wine, his heart full of bitterness. It was just too difficult to produce a work that matched his own intentions; it was always forcibly distorted by various external factors.
However, no one paid any attention to his self-pity. The others were holding the two booklets, discussing and studying them back and forth. It had to be said that the information in these booklets was indeed of no small help for the Teacher Selection Tournament they would face after entering the Astral Sage College.
The gathering finally ended in a joyous atmosphere.
And when they walked out of the restaurant, satisfied, and prepared to disperse, they saw a graceful figure leaning against the carriage frame on the street next to Li Luo's carriage, her golden eyes watching them as they walked out of the restaurant.
When Zhao Kuo, Xiang Liang, and the others saw that face, which appeared stunning under the lamplight, they were stunned for a moment and then subconsciously shivered.
They clearly recognized that face, which was a household name in Tianshu County.
Jiang Qing'e!
Under the gaze of that pair of pure golden eyes, for some reason, they felt an indescribable sense of oppression. Even Yu Lang, who was still wallowing in bitterness, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his legs feeling a bit weak.
Because they had the feeling of hanging out with classmates and then being caught by a parent at the door.
Although Jiang Qing'e was not Li Luo's parent, she was... his fiancée!
Li Luo also saw Jiang Qing'e in front of the carriage at this time, his face showing some surprise as he said, "Sister Qing'e, why are you here?"
Jiang Qing'e walked up with her long legs, her hair fluttering lightly in the night breeze, her dark blue short cape moving with the wind; she looked incredibly dashing.
"I happened to be passing by here while running errands, saw your carriage, and just waited for you here to go home together," Jiang Qing'e met Li Luo's gaze and smiled slightly.
Immediately, her gaze passed over Li Luo and looked at Lu Qinger, who was also staring at her. The gazes of the two women collided, and the air seemed to stagnate for a moment.
And at this moment, Yu Lang, Zhao Kuo, and the others had the urge to turn and run. That was Jiang Qing'e, a legendary figure in Tianshu County.
"Junior Sister Qinger, we meet again," finally, a faint smile appeared on Jiang Qing'e's stunning face as she spoke.
Lu Qinger stared at the stunning yet slightly sharp face before her; even she had to admit that Jiang Qing'e was perfect in every way.
However, her gaze did not dodge either, and she smiled and nodded back at Jiang Qing'e's gaze, "Senior Sister Jiang is as elegant as ever."
"Li Luo told me everything about the college entrance exam. Come to think of it, I really have to thank you all, otherwise, he might not have been able to take this first place," Jiang Qing'e said.
Lu Qinger smiled, "Actually, with his strength, taking first place is a very simple matter; it's just that he didn't want to compete."
As the two women spoke, the others were as quiet as chickens, trembling and not daring to speak, because this Senior Sister Jiang's aura was too powerful; only Lu Qinger could hold her own.
Jiang Qing'e smiled and didn't say much, adding, "You are Li Luo's friends. If you have any problems in the Astral Sage College in the future, you can also come to me. Within my capabilities, I will try my best to help."
"It's getting late today, so I'll take Li Luo home first."
As her voice fell, she smiled at the group, then reached out, took Li Luo's palm, and pulled him directly into the carriage.
Amidst the sound of rolling wheels, they gradually moved away into the brightly lit street.
The group stood at the entrance of the restaurant, watching the departing carriage, and silence lasted for quite a while.
"Is this the legendary Senior Sister Jiang... she's really so dashing!" After a long while, Chi Su couldn't help but speak, her eyes full of admiration.
Yu Lang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "For a moment there, I thought I was going to get beaten up."
Lu Qinger didn't speak, just reached out to summon the Golden Dragon Bank carriage, and then said to the group, "I'm going home too. Let's meet again at the Astral Sage College."
The carriage curtain fell, and the carriage began to roll away.
The others looked at each other on the roadside.
Yu Lang sighed and said, "I suddenly feel some sympathy for Li Luo. So, being handsome is really quite troublesome."
Zhao Kuo and the others nodded with a sense of shared feeling upon hearing this, but then they realized, damn it... do we even have the qualifications to sympathize with him?
Are you kidding me?
