Chapter 384: Chapter 385 Who is the Genius? Who is the Trash? (Part 1)
The gentle breeze brushed against the willows as the vast martial arts competition ground was bathed in its touch. Lin Ruoying’s face was pale, a sense of unspeakable weakness between her brows, as she stared fiercely ahead and took a deep breath.
Mu Ruyue!
She silently bit down on those three words in her heart, nearly letting an endless hatred surge forth with her rage. Just the thought of all she had endured these days made her wish to tear this woman into a million pieces.
Perhaps due to today’s fight between the two, the disciples of the Academy hadn’t gone to class. They had surrounded the competition grounds early in the morning to witness this duel, which had been scheduled two months in advance.
Within the Academy, there were indeed many young disciples with innate talent, but those on Lin Ruoying’s level were extremely rare.
A twenty-something with advanced innate talent was more than enough to make her the goddess in the eyes of all disciples.
Though Mu Ruyue’s talent for alchemy was high, it didn’t mean her combat power was equally formidable. After all, one’s experiences are limited; how could it be possible to excel in both alchemy and cultivation? Otherwise, the Academy wouldn’t have separate Alchemy Hall and Martial Hall.
Everyone exchanged glances, their belief in this notion growing stronger.
To let Mu Ruyue fight Lin Ruoying was clearly asking for a beating. Did she think just because Senior Brother Wuchen protected her, she could do whatever she wanted? The only one in the Academy who was a match for Senior Brother Wuchen was Lin Ruoying.
Suddenly, all the whispered discussions came to an abrupt halt.
All eyes turned towards the several figures approaching from not too far in the distance…
The gentle breeze passed through, her white dress pure as snow. The girl’s figure was slender and frail, verging on being too thin, yet she immediately captured everyone’s attention.
Her fair skin reflected the sunlight, her thin lips a beautiful light pink. Her willow eyebrows were slightly raised, and her deep eyes, as dark as the night, mirrored several shadows.
She seemed to float in with the wind, and a subtle fragrance lingered, reaching everyone’s noses.
Lin Ruoying clenched her fists tightly, feeling as if her heart was being gnawed on by a worm named jealousy.
Yes, she was indeed jealous of Mu Ruyue.
This woman was so beautiful she seemed unreal, causing her, a woman herself, to feel astounded. Yet such a lady was nothing more than a pretty vase, weak and fragile, always hiding behind a man during troubles, nothing like her own strength and independence.
She then turned her gaze towards the man standing to the side, a trace of infatuation flickering in her eyes…
This man was still so beautiful and bewitching that he instantly fascinated everyone around.
The pattern that covered his entire face did not mar his beauty but instead added to his allure, making it hard to imagine a man could be so handsome.
He was clad in a purple robe, exuding a noble and devilishly imposing aura that was not to be violated, resembling a high and mighty Shura God surrounded by a powerful aura that made people stop breathing the moment they saw him.
Yet, this powerful man, when he looked at the woman by his side, showed such tenderness in his purple eyes that it moved everyone…
That affection seemed to want to pamper her to the core, for in this world, only she was worthy of catching the gaze of his eyes, which looked down upon all under the heavens…
Lin Ruoying clenched her fists even tighter, her face growing even paler. She moved her thin lips lightly, a weak smile forming on her lips, “Wuchen, you’re here too?”
Ye Wuchen’s eyebrows furrowed as a flicker of disgust passed through his purple eyes. From beginning to end, he couldn’t even be bothered to give this woman a glance, as if doing so would insult his own eyes…
