Chapter 1285: Chapter 1285: Withdrawing from the Second Round
Hide?
The words of the red-clothed woman instantly made everyone present frown, even showing displeasure on their faces.
"Junior Sister Mo Youh." Chu Rou’s delicate fingers moved away from the guitar strings and placed them on the body of the instrument.
"Although you are not well-known in the academy and I have no friendship with you."
"But please show some respect."
Cheng Suyan and Muu Ning remained silent, but their faces were cold.
Disciples of Tianao Peak are famously aloof and proud beyond measure.
Even if this red-clothed woman was a fellow student, they likely wouldn’t give her an ounce of face.
Tang Sha, Fang Shushu, and others also frowned deeply.
Once like this, twice like this, do they really think everyone has an exceptionally good temper?
Xiao Yi frowned lightly and slowly put down the wine bottle in his hand.
Just about to stand up.
Fang Shushu stepped in first, "Brother Xiao, let me handle this."
"Seven-orifice Fang Shushu?" The red-clothed woman coldly looked at Fang Shushu.
"They all say you, Fang Shushu, love to make connections far and wide, your mouth is clever as a reed."
"What, do you want to do something today?"
Fang Shushu’s face turned cold, "If it were a different day, I’d think you a fool, not worth my time."
"But not today."
"I rarely get together with Brother Xiao, and I don’t want to be disturbed."
"Either you leave yourself or I’ll throw you out of the bamboo forest."
"Throw me out?" The red-clothed woman gave a disdainful smile, "Fang Shushu, you have quite the nerve."
"If you dare, then try."
Fang Shushu squinted his eyes, "I know you are the most favored disciple of the Heavenly Stacked Peak elder, but that doesn’t mean I, Fang Shushu, am afraid."
"After today, feel free to let the elder of Heavenly Stacked Peak come trouble me."
With that, Fang Shushu’s figure flashed and he instantly made a move.
After all, this is the Heavenly Hidden Academy. If Xiao Yi took action and injured an academy disciple, it would surely be a big problem.
But Fang Shushu is different; he is also an academy disciple, so he chose to act first, to handle it himself.
As for the other consequences...
The once most notorious troublemaker of the Four-direction Domain doesn’t care about these things.
Whoosh...
Fang Shushu’s speed was extremely fast.
His current terrifying burst of speed proved that his strength was far above the red-clothed woman.
However, although the red-clothed woman’s eyes couldn’t keep up with Fang Shushu’s speed, she remained undeterred.
The red-clothed woman just stood there, even a cold smile flashing at the corner of her mouth.
Whoosh... A figure suddenly appeared out of thin air.
Just as Fang Shushu was about to reach the red-clothed woman, a finger pointed out.
The arrival seemed to point casually, but the fingertip surged with Sword Intent.
Fang Shushu’s ferocious palm was instantly intercepted by this one finger.
Moreover, the Palm Wind and the fingertip Sword Qi dissipated simultaneously.
The person remained motionless, and Fang Shushu was unharmed as well.
It was easy to imagine the perfect control over Primordial Power this person had.
"Hmm?" Fang Shushu looked at the newcomer, frowning, "Mo Youu?"
"Senior Brother Mo Youu?" Not far away, Qing Lin also frowned.
Indeed, the person was Mo Youu.
No wonder he could easily block Fang Shushu and control Primordial Power so perfectly.
"Brother." The red-clothed woman called out with a smile.
Mo Youu nodded, his face calm and composed.
"Brother?" Qing Lin’s face showed shock.
Xiao Yi lightly frowned.
"Mo Youu, Mo Youh?" Fang Shushu’s face turned slightly unpleasant.
"Apologies." Mo Youu glanced at Fang Shushu, "My sister has been rude, please don’t take offense."
Even while apologizing, Mo Youu maintained a calm demeanor.
It seemed that with him, there was always just a cloud-like calm.
Fang Shushu nodded, "I did not intend to take offense, as long as there are no more disturbances."
Mo Youu nodded and looked at the red-clothed woman, "Let’s go."
"No." The red-clothed woman shook her head and walked coldly towards Xiao Yi.
Under the hem of her red sleeve, a slender finger pointed directly at Xiao Yi.
"I want him to be unable to participate in the second round of the competition."
The red-clothed woman pointed directly at Xiao Yi but spoke to Mo Youu.
"Mo Youh." On Mo Youu’s usually calm face, his brow furrowed for once.
The red-clothed woman ignored him and continued to point at Xiao Yi, her expression unfriendly.
Beside Xiao Yi, Qing Lin’s frown grew tighter.
"Senior Brother Mo Youu, this is the first time I have learned that you have a sister."
"But, your sister seems to lack discipline."
The red-clothed woman still didn’t care, only looking at Mo Youu.
"Does brother want our teams to fight to the death in the second round of the competition?"
"You..." Mo Youu’s face looked somewhat unpleasant.
"Ridiculous." Qing Lin looked at the red-clothed woman and sneered coldly.
"Is it up to you to interfere in matters of the Black Cloud Academy?"
If not for being Mo Youu’s sister, someone like Qing Lin might have erupted long ago.
"I can’t interfere." The red-clothed woman sneered as she looked at Qing Lin.
"But my brother can."
"The second round of the competition is a team points match, whether the team members participate is decided by the captain."
"As I recall, the team captain of the Black Cloud Academy has always been my brother."
"Not a trash like you who only speaks nonsense."
"You..." Qing Lin’s face changed.
Beside him, Tang Sha frowned, "As I recall, besides the captain, the leading elder can also decide whether team members participate."
"Without the approval of the leading elder, the captain’s decision is invalid."
Tang Sha, being the captain of Cangyun Academy, naturally knew.
Upon hearing this, the red-clothed woman’s face showed disdain, "The Martial Arts teachers of Black Cloud Academy have always sided with my brother; I’d like to see if any academic elders would help a little thief like Xiao Yi."
"Bastard." Lih Fengxing immediately burst out.
The red-clothed woman’s aggressive demeanor had long ignited everyone’s anger.
Slap...
A strong palm held Lih Fengxing back.
"Xiao Yi." Lih Fengxing frowned and looked at Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi shook his head.
Whoosh... Mo Youu flashed and arrived.
"Junior Brother Xiao Yi." Mo Youu looked at Xiao Yi, his face somewhat complicated.
Xiao Yi nodded and said blandly, "I will not participate in the second round of the competition."
"Thank you." Mo Youu nodded earnestly.
"Hmph, you know your place." The red-clothed woman shot a glance at Xiao Yi, then looked at Mo Youu, feeling proud, and turned to leave.
Besides Xiao Yi, everyone else looked extremely unpleasant.
Everyone now understood why this red-clothed woman was always so arrogant, even to the point of ignoring others.
Because she has a brother named Mo Youu.
Because her brother is the renowned and dominant Forget Sorrow Sword of the Five Great Academies.
The Forget Sorrow Sword, not Mo Youu’s ’youu’, but Mo Youh’s ’youh’.
"Junior Brother Xiao Yi." Qing Lin glared at Mo Youu, then looked eagerly at Xiao Yi.
"Shall we go back and find the old man of Cloud Abyss, he would never..."
"No need." Xiao Yi shook his head, with a faint smile.
"Senior Brother Mo Youu, would you like to sit down and join us?" Xiao Yi looked at Mo Youu.
"This..." Mo Youu wanted to say something, but seeing the unfriendly expressions of those around, he shook his head.
"No, I won’t disturb you."
Mo Youu cupped his hand and vanished in a flash.
"Xiao Yi." People around frowned at Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi shook his head, "Drinking, I remember we were going to have a great time today, let’s not bother with other matters."
...
Third update.
