Chapter 1315 (Failure)
Chapter 1315 (Failure)
"Ah Li is about to take the stage," Donghuang Baizhi said happily. Her daughter, it had been a while since she last saw her. Now, she was a graceful young lady.
Qing Yutong teased, "Do you think Ah Li has a boyfriend?"
"Probably not," Qing Ya said softly.
Ye Hua pursed his lips; his daughter's personal matters were indeed a headache.
In this world, finding a man worthy of Ah Li and Liu'er was also uncertain.
Boys were fine, but daughters were more troublesome. After all, they would eventually be married off... just thinking about it made Ye Hua uncomfortable.
In the arena, Donghuang Li's graceful figure had already walked out, about to fight a foolish disciple...
Speaking of the disciple, Mu Gao was three years older than Donghuang Li and had been infatuated with her since their first meeting.
Talking about Mu Gao, he wasn't very handsome, just average...
But he gave off a very honest vibe. His strength wasn't very impressive; currently, he only had the strength of a Grandmaster.
Compared to geniuses, he was quite behind.
Mu Gao looked at Donghuang Li in front of him, feeling... if he didn't confess today, he might never get another chance.
After all, Ye Shen just successfully confessed, maybe he should give it a try too.
In fact, over the years, the relationship between Donghuang Li and Mu Gao had been that of ordinary friends. They would chat when they met, but they weren't particularly close friends, mainly because Mu Gao didn't dare to approach, and Donghuang Li wasn't interested...
"Ladies and gentlemen! This is the internal strife of the Broken Meridian Sect. Donghuang Li! She is the trump card of the Broken Meridian Sect, and Mu Gao is also a rising star of the Broken Meridian Sect. Let's wait and see! This will be a bloody battle... or perhaps a one-sided battle."
With the host's remarks not giving much face, the audience chuckled slowly. They really didn't give any face at all.
Qian Yuqing, curious at this moment, said, "Why do I feel like this boy... seems to have some interest in Ah Li?"
As Qian Yuqing said this, Donghuang Baizhi also watched attentively.
"It seems like that might be the case," Qing Ya whispered.
Qing Yutong pursed her lips. "This boy named Mu Gao looks honest and straightforward. I guess he's not Ah Li's type."
Ye Hua didn't say anything. In his heart, he felt that such a boy wasn't worthy of his daughter. In terms of momentum, he was far behind.
Look at that expression, as if he wanted to say something but didn't dare...
A man without courage has nothing to say.
"Senior Brother Mugu, you must be careful," Donghuang Li said with a playful tone. She didn't have any hostility towards Mu Gao. Just play around a bit; after all, mom and dad were still watching.
Mu Gao swallowed nervously, his palms sweaty. He couldn't even utter a word.
Donghuang Li looked puzzled for a moment, then took the initiative to launch an attack, her fist striking.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Donghuang Li has made a move! This speed! Truly the trump card of the Broken Meridian Sect, even I can't see it clearly."
Ye Hua was displeased upon hearing this. If you couldn't see, that was normal; if you could, then that was abnormal.
Boom!
A burst of vigorous wind erupted, causing Mu Gao's hair and clothes to sway uncontrollably.
"What are you doing?" Donghuang Li asked in confusion, her fist frozen in front of Mu Gao's eyes.
"I... I..." Mu Gao was completely disinterested in the battle at the moment.
Donghuang Li leaped backward, raising her eyebrows slightly. Mom and dad were still watching; what was he trying to do? Even though Donghuang Li taught her younger brother how to pursue girls, in her own case, she found it hard to understand.
"This Mu Gao seems to have a crush on my sister," Ye Shen observed, speaking casually as he saw the situation.
Liu Xian bit her lower lip and whispered, "I like this type."
This statement instantly irritated Ye Shen.
"Then you should change your liking!" Ye Shen said coldly. How could she say such things in front of him? If he were his father, what would be the appropriate response?
"Humph, I just don't like you," Liu Xian retorted.
Ye Shen didn't say anything after hearing this and just looked at the arena.
Liu Xian glanced at him from the corner of her eye, realising that Ye Shen surprisingly didn't argue back.
"Dear audience, it seems like this battle has taken an unexpected turn. What's happening today! Are the two trump cards of the Broken Meridian Sect both going to embrace their love? This is really interesting."
With the host's shouting, the entire arena erupted with whistles.
"If you're a real man, step up! Confess!"
"Mu Gao, come on! Don't be afraid."
"Confess! Confess! Win the beauty!"
Ye Hua's face turned black.
Even Donghuang Baizhi's expression was unstable.
One of the subordinates was also a bit uneasy. Among those they had interacted with the most was Ah Li. The future husband of Ah Li had to pass many tests...
So, a man who wanted to marry Ah Li had to go through various obstacles; ordinary people really couldn't achieve that.
At this moment, even Donghuang Li was not calm. Her charming face had become a bit heavy...
"I..."
"Don't speak!" Donghuang Li said in a low voice.
As Donghuang Li's voice echoed, the cheers in the entire arena quieted down.
Mu Gao was startled, and he didn't dare to speak anymore.
Donghuang Li said in a deep voice, "Mu Gao, the current situation is already good enough. You know it!"
Hearing these words, Mu Gao felt a sudden sense of loss. It was as if the words were saying, "You are a nice guy, and I cannot hold you back."
A collective sigh echoed through the audience. Although they wanted to see a different outcome, this was a more typical ending. If Donghuang Li had agreed, that would have been the real twist.
At this moment, Mu Gao seemed like a protagonist, rejected during the martial arts competition, then striving for improvement and finally avenging past humiliation – a typical storyline.
"I understand," Mu Gao said with a heavy heart. Originally, he had thought that he might have the same luck as Ye Shen...
Unfortunately, he was still too weak. If he were stronger, maybe Donghuang Li would have liked him.
It's normal for women to be attracted to powerful men. Don't complain that beautiful women don't like you; it's just because you're not strong enough. But when you become strong, you'll find that the women who didn't like you before...
Still don't like you.
Donghuang Li breathed a sigh of relief, glad she controlled the situation. Thankfully, dad didn't directly deal with him.
But if Mu Gao had been more persistent, who knows what might have happened.
"I concede," Mu Gao said softly, choosing to admit defeat and directly returning to the Broken Meridian Sect's camp.
This was a love story that ended before a confession. For Donghuang Li, it meant nothing much.
But for Mu Gao, it was twelve years of admiration that seemed to vanish in an instant.
"Sis, you are more ruthless than I am," Ye Shen said softly when he saw his sister returning.
