Chapter 414: End

Jiang Jiang Qinge's sudden question made Lu Qing'er's pretty face stiffen slightly, then she pouted in annoyance; was it necessary to bring that up on purpose? In her eyes, she had never felt that the betrothal between Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge held any real effect; on the contrary, if that betrothal truly ceased to exist one day, she would be more alert, but now, based on her intuition, although the feelings between Jiang Jiang Qinge and Li Luo were indeed extremely deep, they were not truly a couple's relationship.

If you say they are intimate, then they are indeed very intimate; their mutual trust is unmatched by anyone, but in many subtle ways Jiang Jiang Qinge treats Li Luo, it is still somewhat like an older sister taking care of a younger brother.

This is also the main reason Lu Qing'er has always felt that the two's betrothal should not exist.

If there were no such betrothal, she would have already started openly pursuing Li Luo; perhaps by now she would have already succeeded; hmm, at that time, she could have properly competed with this older sister, Jiang Jiang Qinge, in a rightful manner.

Thoughts scattered in her heart, but Lu Qing'er quickly restored her impeccable smile, saying to Jiang Jiang Qinge: "Li Luo performed very well; I truly envy Senior Sister Jiang for having such a perfect younger brother."

The smile at the corner of Jiang Jiang Qinge's lips never faded; it could be seen that her mood was also extremely good at this moment, so facing Lu Qing'er's courageous provocation, she did not ignore it, but instead nodded and said: "No need to envy; after all, you are also considered a good friend of Li Luo."

The three words "good friend" were bitten slightly heavier.

Lu Qing'er smiled.

The two women were not speaking loudly, but Bai Bai Mengmeng nearby happened to hear clearly; the young girl's pure little face wore a smiling expression, while at the same time she mentally gave a thumbs-up to Lu Qing'er's courage; after all, a girl daring to face Senior Sister Jiang's pressure directly was truly rare in this academy, but unfortunately the intensity of the provocation was not quite enough; if only some fire could be added, then Qing'er could probe Senior Sister Jiang's depths.

While they were carrying out some "friendship"-atmosphere sparring in joy, on the other side, the Blue Abyss Sacred Academy's atmosphere was stagnant.

Including Zhao Zhao Huiyin, all the representatives were silently gazing at the lake surface; the expectation in their eyes earlier had long since vanished completely.

This result also exceeded their expectations.

"Damn it!"

Zhao Zhao Huiyin's eyes shifted; finally, she gritted her teeth and couldn't help but slap the railing; her charming face was full of confusion: "How could we lose?!"

Zhongnan beside her sighed and said: "That Li Luo is even more extraordinary than we imagined."

Zhao Zhao Huiyin said in annoyance: "We have already paid great attention to him, okay!"

Lu Cang was already the hidden trump card of our Blue Abyss Sacred Academy, and just now Lu Cang used all his own means, yet in the end he still lost; what other moves could there be?

Zhongnan gave a bitter smile; this truly left no way; being inferior in skill, what else could be said?

"Saint Xuanxing Academy's foundation and strength were already superior to our Blue Abyss Sacred Academy; if not for this year's Second Star Court being somewhat weak, we might not have even held out until the final round," Zhongnan said.

Zhao Zhao Huiyin bit her lip, her eyes full of unwillingness; clearly she had already done her best; clearly victory was right before her eyes.

Her bright eyes stared at that figure on the lake surface, slightly annoyed; this Li Luo was truly, truly... emotions surged in her heart; finally Zhao Zhao Huiyin could only sigh softly; Li Luo was defending the glory of their Saint Xuanxing Academy; both sides were inherently opposed; the other party had done nothing wrong.

It's just that this fellow is truly surprising.

She recalled the words spoken when she previously conversed with Jiang Jiang Qinge; she had said Lu Cang would definitely defeat Li Luo; at that time Jiang Jiang Qinge had said that in this Li Luo's ditch, many who underestimated him had already been buried, and now, in this ditch, there would have to be one more Zhao Zhao Huiyin.

"To be able to become Jiang Jiang Qinge's fiancé is indeed not a mere embroidered pillow," Zhao Zhao Huiyin thought thus in her heart.

In previous contacts, she felt that although Li Luo could be considered somewhat capable, compared to Jiang Jiang Qinge he was still far off; from many aspects the two were somewhat mismatched, except that Li Luo looked quite handsome.

But with the end of this great battle before her eyes, Zhao Zhao Huiyin had to turn this view around.

No matter what fierce collision erupted at the bottom of that lake, Li Luo proved his strength with facts.

Moreover, these no longer mattered; for this ticket match, our Blue Abyss Sacred Academy, after all, still lost.

Zhao Zhao Huiyin lazily stretched her graceful body; forget it, losing is losing; actually there had been some expectation already; Li Luo, is it? I remember you; later I will also pay attention to the Holy Grail Battle; at that time I would like to see just how far you can go on the Holy Grail Battle.

While the atmosphere among the mountains was boiling, on the highest viewing platform, the atmosphere fell into a period of silence.

The great figures of various forces of Great Xia all gazed sharply at that youth's figure on the lake surface; at this moment the youth's smile was brilliant and confident; on that face, they saw two familiar shadows.

Two shadows that once made their hearts tremble.

Those two shadows, in those years, almost pressed them until they couldn't breathe.

Zhu Zhu Qinghuo, Duze Yan and others all had faces as still as water; the emotions in their eyes were unclear whether joy or anger.

Finally, the Jinquefu Mansion Lord Si Qing sighed softly and said: "Truly, a tiger father has no dog son; this young mansion lord of House Luolan Mansion, everyone previously misjudged."

This time, no one refuted; even Zhu Zhu Qinghuo and Duze Yan had to admit that previously they had neglected this inconspicuous young mansion lord too much, but this truly could not be blamed on them, because Jiang Jiang Qinge was too dazzling; with her existence, who would still pay attention to a young mansion lord who once had an empty appearance?

But now, when they came to their senses, they discovered that this neglected young mansion lord was actually a hidden dragon.

Perhaps his light was not as bright as Jiang Jiang Qinge's, but he was absolutely not to be underestimated.

"Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan are truly lucky."

Zhu Zhu Qinghuo spoke these words again indifferently: "House Luolan Mansion has successors."

Duze Yan's face was indifferent; his eyelids lowered slightly; he did not answer.

Yu Yu Hongxi's expression was calm, as if she had not felt the surging emotions in the hearts of these Great Xia great figures; she did not intend to participate, after all, the neutral stance of the Golden Dragon Treasure House would never change.

"Clap, clap!"

At this moment, applause suddenly sounded; everyone turned their gaze; they saw the little Emperor clapping; the latter, seeing everyone looking, couldn't help but smile and say: "Saint Xuanxing Academy after all represents our Great Xia Kingdom; Li Luo today turned the tide, so he can be considered a hero of our Great Xia."

Zhu Zhu Qinghuo's corner of the mouth twitched; he gave a dry laugh.

The Regent also smiled at this time and said: "What Your Majesty says is not wrong; this Li Luo is indeed a young talent of our Great Xia; in the future, when he and Jiang Jiang Qinge grow up, our Great Xia may well produce two more Marquis-level experts."

Hearing this, all the great figures present nodded with smiles, though their expressions were slightly complex.

Because House Luolan Mansion producing two more Marquis-level experts was not necessarily something they would be happy to see.

While they were speaking on their side, Vice Dean Su Xin had already stood up; she first looked at Vice Dean Qiu Jizi beside her, whose face was somewhat dim, and said with a smile: "Vice Dean Qiu, this time I am truly sorry."

Qiu Jizi said dryly: "Vice Dean Su Xin is too polite; our Blue Abyss Sacred Academy was inferior in skill; it cannot be blamed on others."

Vice Dean Su Xin nodded, exchanged pleasantries a few more times, then came to the very front of the viewing platform, gazed at the entire field, and her gentle voice resounded in everyone's ears.

"First, thank the seven representatives of Saint Xuanxing Academy for their hard work; thank them for guarding our Saint Xuanxing Academy's honor; at the same time, thank the seven representatives of Blue Abyss Sacred Academy for bringing us seven wonderful matches; we will carry their hopes and go further in that Holy Grail Battle."

Vice Dean Su Xin smiled while gazing at the entire field; her gaze lingered a moment longer on that youth on the lake surface.

"Thus I announce: the Holy Grail Battle ticket match ends here."
