Chapter 82: Meeting Mo Ling Again

The voice that suddenly reached their ears made Lu Qinger pause, and immediately, a look of joy welled up in her eyes as she turned her head to look at Li Luo, who had appeared behind her.

The young lady’s charming, smiling appearance was like a different person compared to her previous expressionless face.

"Isn't this flyswatter of yours a bit too expensive? Are you trying to rip me off?" Lu Qinger laughed.

"Can't help it, the flies here are too big; I suspect they're mutants," Li Luo said with a straight face.

The corners of Lu Qinger’s lips couldn't help but curve into an arc.

Meanwhile, Mo Ling, who was standing to the side, had his expression turn gloomy. He stared at Li Luo and said, "Li Luo, are you really so eager to look for trouble?"

"I'm talking to a classmate; what does that have to do with you?" Li Luo smiled.

Mo Ling said coldly, "I am still your senior, you know. Is this how impolite you are? With an attitude like this, I’m afraid you’ll suffer greatly once you go to the Astral Sage College."

"Then I'll just bring a few more bodyguards with me," Li Luo laughed.

A flash of anger crossed Mo Ling’s eyes. He naturally knew that Li Luo was mocking the incident at the Breeze Pavilion earlier, but he understood that getting angry now wouldn't help, so he forcibly suppressed his rage and said, "Li Luo, go ahead and laugh. After today, the Resonance Liquid and Light from my Mo’s House will dominate Tianshu Prefecture. I’m afraid your Xiyang House won't be able to survive here much longer."

As his voice fell, he flicked his sleeves and left with a gloomy face.

Li Luo watched his back, shook his head with a smile, and said to Lu Qinger, "How did you end up attracting such a pest?"

Lu Qinger’s willow brows arched slightly, and she glared at him: "What nonsense are you spouting? What does it have to do with me? I was just strolling around here; who knew this person would be so annoying and come crowding over."

She was a bit angry that Li Luo would actually say she attracted such an annoying thing.

Seeing this, Li Luo quickly tried to remedy the situation: "I misspoke, I misspoke. With classmate Qinger’s temperament and beauty, you are like a water lily in a lake, just unlucky enough to encounter a piece of cow dung floating by on the water."

Lu Qinger rolled her eyes at him, then her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she whispered: "Mo’s House has reached a cooperation with the Song family. I’m afraid they will make some moves during today’s Grand Festival."

Her words carried a hint of worry.

"Don't worry, I have my own plans," Li Luo didn't seem worried at all and just waved his hand.

Seeing this, although Lu Qinger was a bit puzzled, she didn't ask further, but instead shifted her gaze and stared at Li Luo: "Have you reached the Ninth Seal?"

"Have you reached the Tenth Seal?" Li Luo asked in return. Because they were standing close, he could vaguely feel the faint chill radiating from Lu Qinger’s body, which seemed even colder than before.

That was clearly caused by her resonance power becoming more potent.

Since Lu Qinger was already at the Ninth Seal previously, it was quite normal for her to have stepped into the Tenth Seal over this past month.

Lu Qinger nodded lightly. Because the weather was somewhat hot and the sunlight was scorching, she was holding a small white umbrella. As the two of them strolled casually, she tilted the small white umbrella slightly toward Li Luo’s side and said, "I should be able to break through to the First Stage of the Resonance Master realm before entering the Astral Sage College."

"Impressive," Li Luo gave a thumbs up, offering his praise.

"You should also put in more effort. Don't look at how we are among the best in Tianshu Prefecture; once you get to the Astral Sage College and see the freshmen from other powerful prefectures, you’ll know how intense the competition is."

"I heard that when you first enter the Astral Sage College, there is a class-assignment competition. The intensity of that struggle far exceeds this so-called College Grand Exam," Lu Qinger warned him earnestly.

Li Luo nodded. He certainly wouldn't underestimate the other freshmen at the Astral Sage College, because he truly didn't have the qualifications to do so. Tianshu Prefecture’s strength was only mid-tier among the hundred prefectures of the Great Xia. If he thought that winning first place in Tianshu Prefecture meant he could walk sideways in the Astral Sage College, then he would truly be possessed by Zhao Kuo.

While the two were strolling leisurely, Mo Ling went to the Song’s House side with a gloomy face, and then saw Song Qiuyu on the balcony, who was overlooking the flow of people in the venue.

"Who made you angry again?" Song Qiuyu glanced at him and smiled.

"I ran into that Li Luo again. He is truly detestable," Mo Ling gritted his teeth and said.

"Nothing to be angry about. After today, I think he will regret treating you like that," Song Qiuyu comforted him.

Mo Ling nodded, his expression softening slightly, and said, "Everything is ready on your end, right?"

"My strength is about the same as Yan Lingqing’s, but with this secret medicine from your Mo family, I will definitely be able to surpass her this time. Hehe, I’m really looking forward to it. That little vixen used to be so proud; I want to see how good her expression will look after she’s defeated by me," Song Qiuyu laughed coquettishly.

Listening to Song Qiuyu’s delicate laughter and looking at her slender waist, Mo Ling felt a bit itchy, and he reached out to wrap his arm around her small waist.

But Song Qiuyu twisted her waist slightly to dodge him, and chided: "If my father sees this and you haven't prepared the marriage contract, I’m afraid you won't be able to leave Tianshu Prefecture."

Mo Ling quickly said, "I wouldn't mind signing the marriage contract immediately; I’m just afraid you wouldn't be willing."

"Let’s wait for a good time," Song Qiuyu smiled.

Mo Ling could only nod.

Song Qiuyu shifted her gaze back to the venue below, but a sneer flashed in her eyes. She had naturally seen the scene of Mo Ling harassing Lu Qinger in the venue earlier. This person was just an idiot who thought with his lower half. If he didn't still have some utility, she really couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him.

However, since she still needed to use the power of Mo’s House to deal with Xiyang House, she would just have to tolerate him for now. Once she had a better target in the future, she would kick this spare tire away directly.

Just as Song Qiuyu was turning these thoughts over in her mind, a bell suddenly rang in the venue, and the atmosphere in the venue instantly became boisterous.

A look of anticipation appeared on Song Qiuyu’s cheeks as well; the resonance-tempering competition she had been waiting for had finally arrived.

And in the venue, when the bell rang, Li Luo and Lu Qinger also followed the crowd toward the central area of the venue.

In the crowd, Li Luo saw that on the Xiyang House side, Yan Lingqing had already taken the stage. Her long, slender figure, silver-rimmed glasses, and flowing long hair were quite eye-catching.

"Does your House Luolan look at beauty first when recruiting people? That head steward Cai Wei is charming and moving, and this president of Xiyang House is also cold and beautiful," Lu Qinger said, sizing up Yan Lingqing and then laughing softly.

Li Luo was speechless, but for a moment he couldn't refute it. After all, Cai Wei and Yan Lingqing’s beauty and temperament were indeed there. If others didn't know that Jiang Qing’e had arranged for them to come, they might really think that he, the Young Master, was somewhat dissolute.

"I’m going to my second uncle’s side first. Do you want to come?" Lu Qinger pointed to a viewing stand, which was the location for the Golden Dragon Treasure Bank. Although the Golden Dragon Treasure Bank was not a Resonance Liquid and Light house, they were considered a channel merchant, so they were also very concerned about this kind of Grand Festival.

Li Luo shook his head with a smile: "I have to go up there."

He pointed to the stage in the venue.

A look of surprise appeared on Lu Qinger’s pretty face: "You are going to compete in resonance-tempering?"

"Just going to help Sister Lingqing as an assistant, and gain some experience while I'm at it. After all, I am also a resonance-tempering master," Li Luo laughed.

"I’ll cheer for you."

Lu Qinger chuckled, her thick, brush-like eyelashes blinking gently, releasing a sense of interest, then she waved her small hand and strolled away leisurely while holding her small white umbrella.

Li Luo also stepped onto the stage at this time and walked toward Yan Lingqing.
