Chapter 921: The Number One Beauty of the Ling Domain!

In the academy, disciples confident in their looks all gave it a try; the vast majority scored over sixty in appearance, and those who reached eighty were handsome men and beautiful women. As for those above ninety, there was no doubt they were outstanding among people, each with gorgeous and extraordinary beauty, the embodiment of beauty.

Among them, Su Luo Qiu was the highest, with a score of ninety-eight, currently ranking first in the entire academy.

The area around the Beauty Testing Stone was bustling, with cheers continually coming: "I heard Senior Sister Luo Qiu is coming to test her looks again today!"

"Really? Is she trying to boost her score?"

"Definitely! It seems she recently obtained a twin lotus; after eating it, she became even more beautiful, so this time she's likely aiming for a ninety-nine score!"

……

You should know, since the Beauty Testing Stone appeared in the academy, ninety-nine has been the highest score. If Su Luo Qiu reaches ninety-nine, she will make history!

Soon the crowd grew larger and larger, everyone waiting for Su Luo Qiu's arrival.

Some disciples couldn't hold back and began trying side profiles.

"Oh dear, sixty—do you really think it's appropriate to come test with just a passing grade?"

"Wow, eighty, that's high! Indeed, you're quite handsome!"

"Seventy-one, not bad!"

……

Soon Su Luo Qiu arrived.

She had obviously dressed up carefully today, looking especially radiant and charming in a long red dress that outlined a perfect figure; her face was flawless, practically perfect.

As everyone had guessed, Su Luo Qiu had recently eaten a rare twin lotus, putting her entire being at its peak; she felt her looks were higher than before, so she decided to come and push her score.

If she succeeded, she would become the academy's first beauty in five thousand years, her name etched in history and recorded in the annals.

"Senior Sister Luo Qiu is here!" Everyone made way for her.

"As expected of the number one beauty, she's truly gorgeous!"

Various praises flooded into Luo Qiu's ears; she curled her lips, obviously accustomed to such scenes.

She, Su Luo Qiu, remained very confident in her appearance; at least in the Wanling Academy, and even throughout the Ling Domain, no woman could be found more beautiful than her!

Soon, she arrived before the Beauty Testing Stone.

She was poised and confident, her whole self exuding assurance.

The Beauty Testing Stone sensed her presence; its surface rippled like light on water, then quickly calmed, condensing into a mirror.

She looked at her reflection in the mirror—flawless, perfect, like a fairy descending to the mortal world.

"This time I can definitely hit ninety-nine!" she thought to herself.

Soon, the score gradually appeared; everyone held their breath, eyes fixed unblinkingly on the mirror.

But when they saw the score above, they all froze.

"Ninety-eight?!"

Su Luo Qiu actually failed!

She didn't reach ninety-nine; her score remained the same as before!

"How could this be?" Su Luo Qiu frowned fiercely.

Obviously her condition this time was much better than last time, so why did her score not change at all?

Even if she couldn't get ninety-nine, shouldn't she at least have ninety-eight point five?

Seeing Su Luo Qiu's angry expression, everyone dared not speak, fearing to provoke her.

"Tch, I think even ninety-eight is too high for that face!"

A disdainful voice came from the crowd.

Everyone widened their eyes, looking toward the speaker.

Whoever is courting death, daring to say such a thing at this moment? Don't they know Su Luo Qiu is not only the number one beauty but also the top genius disciple of the White Tiger Palace?

The crowd's gaze locked onto a petite figure.

It was a frail-looking boy, about sixteen or seventeen, with fair, clean skin that was smooth and tender, making all the girls feel inferior.

"Who are you?"

The boy raised his chin slightly, unafraid, "Young Master, I do not change my name when I walk, nor my surname when I sit; I am Lu Badao!"

Lu Badao?

Um…

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched badly. Should they say this name is domineering, or just chuunibyou?

Lu Badao?

Su Luo Qiu pondered for a moment; evidently she had never heard this name, thinking it must be a newcomer.

"Junior Brother, you're not wrong; perhaps I don't deserve ninety-nine." Su Luo Qiu suppressed her anger, lowered her gaze slightly, wearing a look as if about to cry.

Su Luo Qiu was already stunningly beautiful; the sight of a beauty shedding tears made who knows how many male disciples feel their hearts about to break.

"Kid, do you want to die?"

"You dare provoke Senior Sister Luo Qiu—did you even ask my opinion?"

……

Lu Badao obviously wasn't scared, hands behind his back, bearing the demeanor of a mature youth.

Suddenly, her eyes caught something; she brightened and pointed into the distance, shouting, "I wasn't wrong—this Su Luo Qiu doesn't even measure up to that person!"

"That person?"

Everyone curiously looked where Lu Badao pointed, seeing a woman leading two children, chatting and laughing as they walked over.

"Is this… Ye Qingran?"

"She's that violent sweeping maid?"

The disciples trembled, instinctively swallowing their saliva.

Nowadays, who in the Learning Palace doesn't know that a Sweeping Maid has come to the Library?

Not only is her strength top-notch, but she is also extremely violent!

Even if they haven't seen Wu Qiong's miserable state with their own eyes, they've heard about it—just how awful the word 'miserable' is!

It's said she not only beat Wu Qiong, but also beat Yang Jiao Mi and the young master of White Horse Temple, Wu Zhishang, so badly they couldn't get out of bed!

What's even more frightening is that everyone is spreading the rumor that Ye Qingran's child has no father because she beat him to death!

The disciples of the Learning Palace are all terrified, as if Ye Qingran were some primeval beast.

Ye Qingran happened to pass by here, suddenly feeling everyone's gazes on her; she froze for a moment, then suddenly recalled that her recent image in the Learning Palace hasn't been great, so she gave a slight smile, raised her hand in greeting, "Hi, everyone."

Everyone: "......"

She is truly beautiful, but her violent nature cannot be concealed!

How beautiful this woman's smile is, how violent her nature is!

The disciples became even more afraid.

Ye Qingran pursed her lips; she, a beautiful and kind-hearted little fairy, how did she end up like this?

Su Luo Qiu's gaze fell on Ye Qingran; just one look, and jealousy flashed in the depths of her eyes.

Even though she claims to be the number one beauty of the Ling Domain, upon seeing Ye Qingran she felt all her confidence vanish.

The Ling Domain actually has a woman more beautiful than her, Su Luo Qiu?

"You're saying she is Ye Qingran?"

Having thought of something, Su Luo Qiu asked the person beside her.

"Yes, Senior Sister Luo Qiu, she is Ye Qingran!"

Su Luo Qiu narrowed her eyes, nodding thoughtfully.
