Under the focus of many gazes, a group of people led by Gong Shenjun quickly arrived at Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e's location. A warm smile then appeared on Gong Shenjun's heroic face.

  "Jiang Xue, I was busy cultivating today and missed the exciting part of the Choosing Master Competition. However, I heard earlier that Li Luo performed outstandingly and has already been chosen by Master Hu Cheng."

  As soon as he finished speaking, his gaze turned to Li Luo, and his voice was like a gentle spring breeze: "Li Luo, junior brother, you have made a stunning debut today, congratulations."

  Li Luo's gaze lingered on Gong Shenjun's face for a few breaths, and facing the other's attitude, he couldn't possibly respond with a cold face either. That would only make himself appear too petty and laughable. So, he smiled and said: "Gong senior is overpraising me, it's not that I'm some kind of prodigy, just a temporary stroke of luck, being favored by Instructor Huai Xun."

  Jiang Qing'e's stunning face was calm and serene as she said, "It's just a new student selection tournament, Palace Master doesn't have to praise me so much."

  Gong Shen Jun smiled and said, "Sister Jiang's requirements are too high. Not everyone can be born with a nine-star physique like you. In that one Master Selection Tournament, several Purple Radiance instructors almost fought over you before it even began. This is something that no student in the past hundred years of Shengxuan Xuefu has been able to achieve."

  Gong Shen Jun's demeanor was as refined as jade, his temperament extraordinary. In conversation, he revealed exceptionally good breeding, making it difficult for anyone to harbor ill feelings towards him. Even if Jiang Qing'e were aware of his thoughts, she wouldn't be able to turn against him with disgust.

  "Don't underestimate Jiang Qing'e's fiancé, although he has been low-key in the past, this rare double horoscope is not inferior to the ninth-rank bright horoscope. Just as they were talking, a cold voice suddenly interrupted them, and everyone turned their gaze to see Du Ze Honglian walking towards them."

  She has a tall and slender figure, fiery red lips, sexy and charming, also attracting many eyes.

  Jiang Qing'e said faintly: "Dou Ze Honglian, your performance in that Master Selection Tournament back then wasn't even as good as this younger brother of yours, was it?"

  "If I'm not mistaken, after the tournament started, the first opponent you met was me, and then...you were defeated."

  Douzhe Hong Lian's eyebrows slightly raised, as if she was about to refute.

  However, at this time, Gong Shengjun opened his mouth with some helplessness and smiled: "Honglian, today is the first day of school, just give me a face and don't argue here."

  Dou Ze Honglian heard this, the words in her mouth were swallowed back, she looked at Gong Shengjun's eyes with a hint of good feelings, after all, from any aspect, Gong Shengjun was indeed an excellent person.

  Jiang Qing'e didn't bother to chat with them anymore, and after saying a word to Gong Shenjun, she left directly with Yan Lingqing and Li Luo.

  Duo Ze Hong Lian let out a cold hum and also somewhat angrily left. Today's events were full of bad luck. Previously, she couldn't find that Li Luo's trouble, but instead was messed with by him, getting her all riled up, almost to the point of explosion. Afterwards, at the Chosen Master Competition, Duo Ze Bei Xuan also lost to Li Luo, which made her even more resentful.

  Gong Shengjun's face was warm and smiling as he watched the two women leave, his eyes finally fixed on Jiang Qing'e, Li Luo's gradually disappearing back, and his eyes flickered slightly.

  "Unexpectedly... this young master of the Luo Lan Prefecture is not as mediocre as the rumors say." He said to himself in a low voice.

  "Your Highness, your pursuit of Jiang Qing'e is too subtle. With your excellence, you are worthy of her." A person close to Gong Shengjun said in a low voice beside him.

  "That Li Luo, although he has a marriage contract with Jiang Qing'e, with the power of the palace, there should be many ways to make him voluntarily cancel the engagement."

  Gong Shen Jun shook his head and smiled faintly, "You're looking at it too superficially. A person like Jiang Qing'e can't be bound by a mere engagement. To those who truly see clearly, this engagement has no real effect."

  "What I want is Jiang Qingwa's heart, and for someone of her temperament, it can't be rushed, only slowly planned, if there's even a slight overstep, then there will be no more opportunities."

  "As for Li Luo..."

  He smiled and said, "I don't need to target him. If I really want to win Jiang Qing'e's heart, the more I target Li Luo, the more she will dislike me."

  "So, if possible, I would rather show favor to him. Others don't understand that getting close to Li Luo is actually the best way to get close to Jiang Qing'e."

  "Although it's uncomfortable to admit such things, appropriate tolerance is necessary until the goal is achieved."

  "The real winner is the one who can endure the most."

  "And also, I am still quite confident in my own conditions, and I believe that Jiang Qing will see these things eventually."

  After finishing speaking, he didn't say much more and waved his hand.

  "He's gone."

  ...

  "This Palace of the Gods is quite troublesome." Li Luo followed Jiang Qingwa out of the New Life Temple, and he couldn't help but look back twice, sighing in admiration.

  This palace is obviously intentional towards Jiang Qing'e, but it just so happens that there is no fault in words and deeds, nor is there any offense or direct threat to force Li Luo to cancel the engagement.

  Such people make it difficult for others to take action against them.

  "Others are of a much higher rank, you little kid, aren't really a match." Yan Lingqing said with some sympathy.

  This Gong Jun is a member of the royal family, his father Regent Wang Gong Yuan is currently the most powerful person in the Great Xia Empire, and he himself has exceptional talent, not only ranking among the top seven students at the Sacred Xuan Star Academy, but also quietly having a tendency to compete for the strongest student. So from any angle, Li Luo seems to have a significant gap with him.

  Li Luo nodded and immediately said: "However, no matter how high his rank is, he can only admit that his end point is actually my starting point."

  Yan Lingqin was taken aback for a moment, then thought about it and indeed, wasn't Gong Shengjun's efforts all to end up with a marriage contract with Jiang Qing'e? But that Li Luo guy had already secured the engagement when he was still playing with mud on the ground.

  "I found you're quite good at comforting yourself." Yan Lingqing said with a bad tone.

  Li Luo spread his hands: "What else can we do? That guy is indeed very excellent."

  Jiang Qing'e suddenly stopped in her tracks, turned her head and said: "You shouldn't belittle yourself either. Gong Shengjun's identity is indeed not bad, but what about the royal family? The royal family also has to bow its head in front of a powerful king-level expert, and when facing the Holy Xuan Star Academy, the royal family doesn't dare have any thoughts."

  "So in the end, this world is still ruled by strength. He is now one of the Seven Pillars of Shengxuan Xing Academy, only because he is a bit older than us and entered Shengxuan Xing Academy earlier. You have dual attributes, give you a few years, it's not necessarily that you can't surpass him."

  "Li Luo, in my heart, you are no worse than anyone else."

  The sunset fell on Jiang Qing'e's absolutely beautiful face, the sky was a magnificent sight of towering trees, and the background was the Saint Xuan Star Academy's buildings rising from the ground.

  At this time, even Yan Lingqing had to admit that Jiang Qing'e was really beautiful enough to take one's breath away.

  The key is that she was too good to Li Luo, having known Jiang Qing'e for so long, Yan Lingqing had never seen her comfort and encourage any other man like this.

  At this moment, even Yan Lingqing felt a inexplicable sour feeling flowing in her heart.

  Yan Lingqing was the same, let alone Li Luo. He touched his chest, his heart beating faster, and said: "I finally understand the meaning of the phrase 'one angry for a beauty'."

  "So, Qing'e sister, what exactly do you want to say?" he asked.

  Jiang Qing'e smiled lightly and said, "Do you still remember the agreement we made earlier? You've completed the first step by entering Shengxuan Xing Academy."

  "So in this second step, I want you to become the strongest freshman of Holy Spirit Academy."

  "Although Gong Sheng Jun is excellent, I must let everyone know that compared to you, his only advantage is his age, nothing more."

  "What about the son of the Regent? I am the young master of the Luo Lan Fu, and I won't lose to him by even half a point."

  Li Luo was stunned and muttered: "The strongest newcomer? Is that really necessary?"

  This time, defeating Tōzai Hokuto has already used up all the trump cards of the second phase. Tōzai Hokuto is only ranked fourth, and the three people in front of him are not easy to deal with, especially Qin Zhūlù, who is quite formidable.

  The key is that Li Luo is already very satisfied with his current achievements, becoming the strongest freshman is too dazzling, which doesn't match his low-key style.

  Jiang Qing'e smiled and said, "If you complete this step, I can give you a reward."

  "What reward?" Li Luo's spirit lifted.

  Jiang Qing'e hesitated slightly and looked at him sideways.

  "A reward when you didn't see you and Lü Qing'er exchanging flirtatious glances?"

  Li Luo almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

  Jiang Qing'ao, don't think that just because you're pretty, you can randomly slander people!
