Chapter 112: Looks Come First
The shop's prized treasure ultimately failed to be delivered in Yu Lang's tearful, broken-down state, but the price paid for this was deleting all the males from the booklet.
As for this point, Zhao Kuo and the other males all expressed their approval—who wants to see a male beauty ranking, isn't that boring!
"I think it's quite nice, can't we girls appreciate the opposite sex's looks? I think Li Luo is indeed the number one in looks among the new students!" Lü Qing'er held the opposing opinion, saying.
Li Luo said unhappily: "Compared to having people pay attention to my looks, I prefer them to focus on the sweat and effort I've put into my cultivation."
"So it must be deleted!"
Lü Qing'er rolled her eyes at Li Luo, not arguing with him, but still said to Yu Lang: "Although they oppose it, I still support you."
"Me too." Chi Su echoed.
"Only Sister Qing'er is so understanding." Yu Lang said with tears welling in his eyes.
Li Luo opened the booklet again, and then he was somewhat surprised to discover that after him, the number one ranked girl in the new student looks ranking was not Lü Qing'er, but a girl called Bai Bai Mengmeng.
There was also a portrait of Bai Bai Mengmeng above.
It was a girl wearing a white dress, her appearance indeed extremely delicate and pretty, her long hair fluttering, a gentle and fragile charm between her brows and eyes, making one unable to resist wanting to embrace her and soothe her.
Below was her information—Bai Bai Mengmeng, also from the Bai family of Gusu Prefecture, Bai Bai Doudou's biological younger sister, possessing an Upper Seventh Grade Water Nightmare Butterfly Physique.
"I think... you'd better not support him first." Li Luo sighed softly, then under Lü Qing'er's puzzled gaze, handed the booklet over.
Lü Qing'er didn't want to take it, saying casually: "I don't want to look at this stuff."
But her gaze still involuntarily swept over, and when she discovered Bai Bai Mengmeng ranked first, everyone felt a faint chill emanating from Lü Qing'er's body.
Yu Lang sensed something was off, saying: "Sister Qing'er, let me explain."
Lü Qing'er smiled and said: "Yu Lang, where do you think she's prettier than me?"
Zhao Kuo said with an honest face: "I think although this Bai Bai Mengmeng is also very pretty, she's still slightly inferior to Sister Qing'er by a fraction."
"Sister Qing'er's temperament is a bit stronger than hers." Xiang Liang said.
"This Bai Bai Mengmeng can be placed second." Zong Fu said.
Under Lü Qing'er's gaze, Yu Lang argued somewhat trembling: "Sister Qing'er, speaking purely of looks, I actually think you are indeed stronger than her by a fraction, but mainly it's that temperament of hers, you know... that 'I pity her upon seeing her' temperament of hers, it moves people's hearts more."
Lü Qing'er nodded lightly, sighing: "This kind of gentle and fragile temperament, I really find it very hard to achieve."
Then she turned her head and said gently to the shopkeeper still at the door: "Shopkeeper, today my friend is treating, all the expenses in the entire shop are on him."
Yu Lang's face went pale, hurriedly saying: "Wait! I just reconsidered, actually Sister Qing'er, your kind of cool and independent temperament is more in line with young people's values nowadays, so I think I was being inconsiderate before, I'll go back and revise it immediately, this new student looks ranking's number one must be you, Lü Qing'er!"
Lü Qing'er's willow brows furrowed slightly, saying: "I don't care about this thing, it doesn't matter whether it's revised or not."
Yu Lang hesitated for a moment, saying: "Then... not revising?"
"Boss." Lü Qing'er gave a small beckoning gesture with her hand.
"Understood! Sister Qing'er!" Yu Lang's eyes welled with tears—he was truly naive to actually believe the words that came from a woman's mouth. They say they don't care, but if you really think they don't care, then you're truly the number one fool.
Lü Qing'er said with a light laugh: "Yu Lang, the booklet you put out this time will definitely be a huge hit!"
Yu Lang sat down drinking wine, his heart full of bitterness—putting out a work that satisfied his own wishes was truly too difficult, always being forcibly distorted from its original intent by various external forces.
But no one paid attention to his self-pitying self; the others were all holding two booklets, discussing and studying them back and forth. It had to be said that the information in these booklets was indeed of considerable help for the teacher-selection competition they would face after entering the Saintly Mystic Star Academy.
The gathering finally ended amid a scene of joy.
And when they walked out of the restaurant contentedly, preparing to disperse, they saw by Li Luo's carriage on the street, a graceful figure leaning against the carriage frame, her golden eyes looking at them walking out of the restaurant.
When Zhao Kuo, Xiang Liang and the others saw that absolutely beautiful face appearing under the lamplight, they were stunned for a moment, then instinctively broke out in a cold sweat.
They clearly recognized that household-famous countenance in Tianshu Prefecture.
Jiang Jiang Qinge!
Under the gaze of those pure golden pupils, for some reason they felt an indescribable pressure, even Yu Lang, who was still in his misery, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his legs going a bit weak.
Because they had the feeling of going out to mess around with classmates, then being caught by their parents at the door.
Although Jiang Jiang Qinge was not Li Luo's parent, but... she was his fiancée!
Li Luo also saw Jiang Jiang Qinge by the carriage at this moment, a bit surprised on his face, saying: "Sister Jiang Qinge, why are you here?"
Jiang Jiang Qinge stepped forward with her long legs, her hair fluttering gently in the night breeze, her azure-blue short cape moving with the wind, the whole person looking incomparably dashing.
"I was handling some matters and happened to pass by here, saw your carriage, so I waited below to go home together." Jiang Jiang Qinge met Li Luo's gaze and smiled slightly.
Then her gaze passed over Li Luo, looking at Lü Qing'er behind who was also staring at her. The gazes of the two women collided, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment.
And at this moment, Yu Lang, Zhao Kuo and the others had the impulse to turn and run—that was Jiang Jiang Qinge, a legendary figure in Tianshu Prefecture.
"Junior Qing'er, we meet again." In the end, a faint smile appeared on Jiang Jiang Qinge's absolutely beautiful cheeks as she spoke.
Lü Qing'er stared at that countenance of absolute beauty tinged with some sharpness before her—even she had to admit that Jiang Jiang Qinge was perfect in every aspect.
However, her gaze did not dodge either, meeting Jiang Jiang Qinge's gaze with a light laugh and a nod: "Senior Jiang's elegance remains as ever."
"Li Luo told me everything about the academy grand examination. Speaking of which, I really must thank you all, otherwise he probably wouldn't have gotten this first place." Jiang Jiang Qinge said.
Lü Qing'er said with a smile: "Actually, with his strength, getting first place is a very simple matter, he just didn't want to compete."
While the two women spoke, the others were as quiet as chickens, trembling and not daring to speak, because this Senior Jiang's aura was too powerful—only Lü Qing'er could hold her own.
Jiang Jiang Qinge smiled, didn't say more, saying: "You are Li Luo's friends, if you have any problems in the Saintly Mystic Star Academy in the future, you can also come find me, within my ability, I will do my best to help."
"It's getting late today, I'll take Li Luo home first."
As her voice fell, she smiled at the few of them, then extended her hand, took hold of Li Luo's palm, and led him straight onto the carriage.
Amid the sound of wheels rolling, they gradually receded down the brightly lit street.
The few stood at the restaurant door, watching the departing carriage, the silence lasting for quite a while.
"So this is the legendary Senior Jiang... truly so dashing!" After quite a while, Chi Su couldn't help but speak, her eyes full of admiration.
Yu Lang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, saying: "For that moment just now, I thought I was going to get beaten up."
Lü Qing'er didn't speak, just reached out and beckoned the Golden Dragon Treasure House's carriage over, then said to the others: "I'm going home first too, we'll gather again at the Saintly Mystic Star Academy later."
The carriage curtain fell, and the carriage also began to roll.
The other few looked at each other on the roadside.
Seeing Yu Lang sighed and said, "Suddenly I feel a bit of sympathy for Li Luo. So being handsome really does come with its share of troubles."
Zhao Kuo and the others, upon hearing this, nodded in considerable agreement, but then immediately realized—damn... do we even have the right to feel sorry for him?
Are you kidding me?
