Chapter 2384
2384 Self-sentimental
“Elders, do we continue drawing lots?” Yue Jianqing asked. Everyone could see that none of the disciples below the stage dared to fight Ling Chuxi. Even if they drew lots, they would still forfeit and admit defeat, so there was no need to raise another round.
“Forget it.” Elder Tong stood up and said loudly,”if there’s no meaning to this, then let’s end this competition.”
“No objections, no objections!” All the disciples said in unison.
The few disciples who were still participating in the competition heaved a long sigh of relief. If they were chosen, they would lose face no matter which one they chose. It would be best if it ended like this, and they wouldn’t have to lose face.
“Well, I announce …” Elder Tong didn’t find the disciples ‘reactions strange and continued.
“Wait, I’ll challenge Ling Chuxi.” Just as elder Tong was about to announce the end of the competition, a young voice suddenly rang out.
Everyone turned their heads, only to see Feng lengsong slowly walking towards the high platform with a calm expression.
Looking at Feng lengsong’s steady figure, the competition ground became silent once again. Ling Chuxi looked at Feng lengsong’s deep eyes and frowned slightly.
“Senior brother Feng, why is it him?” A young disciple looked at Feng lengsong in confusion.
Feng lengsong and Xiang Yunzhi were both outstanding talents of the younger generation in the ethereal sect residence. Although Feng lengsong was slightly more famous than Xiang Yunzhi, it was mainly because of his family background. In terms of actual strength, he might not be much stronger than Xiang Yunzhi. Moreover, Xiang Yunzhi had returned from his travels after many years and was already at the peak of Sage level. It was hard to tell who was stronger.
Previously, Xiang Yunzhi had been defeated by Zhuo fanglin with a single sword strike, and Zhuo fanglin did not even have the strength to fight back against Ling Chuxi. He was so frightened that he had even jumped off the stage. The terrifying strength of Ling Chuxi’s cultivation was self-evident.
What was Feng lengsong’s intention for challenging him at this time?
“Could it be that love turned into hate?” Another disciple said thoughtfully, the fire of gossip burning in his eyes.
“It’s possible, it’s possible. Senior brother Feng must be secretly in love with someone else. He confessed to her in private but was rejected, so he’s angry.” The disciple was suddenly enlightened. He smacked his head, and the fire of gossip erupted like a volcano.
He recalled that on the first day Ling Chuxi entered the ethereal sect residence, Feng lengsong had acted out of character and stared at others like a pig for a long time. It was very likely that Feng lengsong had secretly fallen in love with Ling Chuxi since then.
“What nonsense are you talking about? you don’t know anything and only know how to gossip.” At this time, Jie Feiying finally calmed down a little. She also looked at Feng lengsong on the stage in confusion. When she heard the conversation between the two gossip Kings, her heart was full of sour water and she scolded angrily.
“Then tell me, why did senior brother Feng want to challenge Ling Chuxi?” One of the gossipers asked.
“Senior brother Feng must have seen that I’ve been wronged and wanted to stand up for me.” Xie Feiying’s eyes flashed, and her face was filled with sweetness. This self-sentimental side was really unbearable.
“Tsk …” The two gossip Kings made a “tsk” sound at the same time and turned their heads. After these few incidents, Jie Feiying’s reputation in the ethereal sect residence had taken a dive, and in the Valley of Flowers, she was like a rat crossing the street. Unless Feng lengsong was blind, it would be strange if he took a fancy to her.
Jie Feiying was just consoling herself. She actually knew that Feng lengsong was not close to her to that extent and would definitely not take such a big risk to stand up for her. After all, the strength that Ling Chuxi had displayed was too terrifying.
