“Ling Xiao, no matter what reason Luo Yu has for degrading herself, today, if you do not swear to leave her, I will not let you off easily!”
Feng Ming Qing Shan stared coldly at Ling Xiao as he spoke.
He knew he could not persuade Ji Luo Yu to leave Ling Xiao, so he could only resort to extreme measures.
“I am degrading myself?”
Ji Luo Yu found it almost laughable. She was about to explode in anger, but Ling Xiao beside her stopped her.
Ling Xiao looked at Feng Ming Qing Shan and said, “Not let me off easily? What exactly do you plan to do?”
“Do you dare to face me one-on-one without letting women help you?”
Feng Ming Qing Shan sneered, “Rest assured, I will not kill you. Just three moves. If you can withstand them, today’s matter ends here. If Miss Luo Yu wants to follow you, I will not interfere anymore.”
Three moves?
Many people who heard this could not help but show cold smiles.
Feng Ming Qing Shan was a Fourth Cave Heaven Realm martial artist. If Ling Xiao had to take three moves from him, would he not be beaten to death directly?
“Feng Ming Qing Shan, who I associate with is my business. What does it have to do with you? You are simply insane!”
Ji Luo Yu did not want Ling Xiao to get hurt because of her.
It had already been hard enough to become friends with Ling Xiao. If this guy Feng Ming Qing Shan caused Ling Xiao to get injured, Ling Xiao’s friends would probably resent her greatly. In that case, she feared they truly could not even remain friends anymore.
She did not hope for too much. After all, she knew she could not compare to Moon Lady.
But if even friendship became impossible, that would be too cruel.
“Miss Luo Yu, your mind has already been bewitched by Ling Xiao. No matter what I say, you probably will not listen. But you must understand that everything I do is for your own good!”
Feng Ming Qing Shan spoke with righteous indignation, “What benefits can you gain from following Ling Xiao? He has offended the Righteous Alliance, the Peacock Clan, the Great Peng Clan, and even my father. Following him, you will never have a single good day!”
“What he said is actually not wrong.”
Ling Xiao smiled faintly, “Luo Yu, I am an untamed fellow who has been targeted by many people. Perhaps one day, even you will be implicated because of me.
Do not just see how impressive I look now: the top disciple of Qingxu Academy, the Heavenly Dragon King of the Divine Phoenix Empire, the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty Empire.
But you must know, this is only because certain people still think I have value to be used, so they allow me to grow. If one day I lose my usefulness, they will definitely kill the donkey after unloading the millstone.
Even so, are you still willing to be friends with me?”
“Of course!”
Ji Luo Yu said loudly, “I know all of this, but I also know that although you are a piece on their chessboard, they cannot control this piece. If I end up in trouble because of becoming friends with you, then I accept my fate.”
“Good. That is enough with those words.”
Ling Xiao actually felt a touch of emotion, though he did not show it outwardly.
Ji Luo Yu had only met him two or three times, yet she was willing to become friends with someone who had offended so many powerful figures. This person was worth befriending.
If before this he had only been polite, then from this moment on, Ji Luo Yu was truly his friend.
“But Big Brother Ling, today’s matter started because of me. You do not need to accept Feng Ming Qing Shan’s provocation. Let me handle this.”
Ji Luo Yu was also very pleased that Ling Xiao was willing to acknowledge her as a friend.
Precisely because of this, she was even more unwilling to let Ling Xiao suffer even the slightest harm.
She was not entirely clear on Feng Ming Qing Shan’s strength, but his Fourth Cave Heaven Realm cultivation was no lie.
Moreover, Feng Ming Qing Shan was not an ordinary Fourth Cave Heaven Realm martial artist. He was the son of Feng Ming Wu Liang and one of the geniuses of the Ice Phoenix Clan.
Facing such an opponent was very dangerous!
Even the slightest risk, she did not want Ling Xiao to face it.
Liking someone, even if she could not have him, still meant she could not let him get hurt. That was Ji Luo Yu’s mindset.
Ling Xiao was very strong and extraordinarily talented, but at the current stage, against Feng Ming Qing Shan, it was hard to say if he had any chance of winning.
Furthermore, among those two or three hundred people, who could guarantee that no one would suddenly launch a sneak attack?
If someone ambushed him, what would Ling Xiao do?
These were all worries in Ji Luo Yu’s mind.
Besides, killing Feng Ming Qing Shan in front of so many people would mean even Feng Ming Wu Liang would not let Ling Xiao off.
The death of Feng Ming Hei Shan was known to only a very few people, and no one had mocked Feng Ming Wu Liang over it.
But today’s matter would probably not be so simple.
So no matter the outcome of this fight, it would not be good for Ling Xiao.
In Ji Luo Yu’s view, for Ling Xiao’s sake, she had to take full responsibility for this matter.
However, she overlooked Ling Xiao’s personality.
Facing Feng Ming Qing Shan’s provocation, how could Ling Xiao possibly not respond?
He had never been a coward who shrank back.
“Luo Yu, let me handle today’s matter. They came openly for you, but in reality they came for me. I want to see just how much ability this arrogant Feng Ming Qing Shan, who keeps saying I am inferior to him, actually has.”
Ling Xiao spoke gently to Ji Luo Yu, then looked at Feng Ming Qing Shan and said, “Come on. I accept your challenge. Within three moves, I will not counterattack. You can attack freely.”
“What?”
Feng Ming Qing Shan thought he had misheard.
Ling Xiao actually dared to accept his challenge?
But after a brief moment of stunned silence, a chilling coldness quickly spread across his face.
This fool Ling Xiao was dead today!
The other young talents who admired Ji Luo Yu just like Feng Ming Qing Shan had the same thought upon hearing Ling Xiao’s words.
Everyone said Ling Xiao was exceptionally clever, yet seeing him today proved otherwise. This guy was simply an idiot of the highest degree.
What kind of challenge would he not dare accept?
Did he not value his life?
He even said he would not fight back within three moves?
If he wanted to die, he did not need to be in such a hurry.
As the eighth son of Feng Ming Wu Liang, Feng Ming Qing Shan’s cultivation strength was something they all knew clearly.
A Fourth Cave Heaven Realm cultivation of terrifying power that absolutely crushed the eighth, ninth, and tenth Phoenix Sons!
It was only because Feng Ming Wu Liang did not allow his son to participate in the Phoenix Son selection that he had not entered the ranks.
If Ling Xiao underestimated Feng Ming Qing Shan because of this, then his death was probably not far away.
“Hahahaha, what a brave man. Unfortunately, the line between bravery and recklessness is often just a hair’s breadth. Others call it bravery, but yours is pure stupidity.”
Feng Ming Qing Shan laughed loudly, his laughter filled with extreme smugness.
Three moves!
And the opponent would not fight back at all!
If it were just one move, he would not dare claim he could kill Ling Xiao for sure. After all, Ling Xiao was no ordinary person.
But if within three moves, with the opponent not fighting back, he still could not kill Ling Xiao, then Feng Ming Qing Shan might as well stop living.
Ji Luo Yu looked at Ling Xiao and suddenly smiled brightly, “Since you have accepted it, then I will support you. But if anything happens to you, I will not let him off either.”
