As the flower petals fell around him, that young master suddenly pushed him up his long hair and said, “I am the one known as the Beautiful Sword of the Clear Lake Sect, Mei Yao!”
It couldn’t be said that he was ugly, he was actually a handsome young master…
The only problem with this Mei Yao was the way that he acted.
The stance that he took now really made people want to punch him in the face…
That included Huang Xie and Yu Huang who stood right in front of him.
Mei Yao just ignored the two of them as he continued trying to appeal to Xiao Ming by saying, “Beautiful miss, may I be graced with your name?”
Xiao Ming suddenly revealed a smile that made Mei Yao stunned. It was as if there was a flower garden that suddenly bloomed in front of him when he saw this smile.
He was even more entranced by Xiao Ming and put even more effort into his smile.
Huang Xie and Yu Huang would have been envious of this if they didn’t know what this smile from Xiao Ming meant. They had known her long enough to recognize this smile and they knew that it wasn’t a good smile.
This was the smile that she revealed when she found something interesting.
But of course, it wasn’t the good kind of interesting.
It was the kind of interesting that resulted in…group fights.
That’s right, this was the smile that she revealed when she wanted to beat up someone.
Huang Xie and Yu Huang knew that it would be bad if they just let her keep going, so they were the ones that grabbed Mei Yao by the shoulders and pulled him back.
Mei Yao revealed an annoyed look as he turned in their direction and said, “What is wrong with the two of you! Why do you keep bothering me! Get lost already!”
He actually attacked as soon as he said this.
This Mei Yao might seem frivolous, but he was actually quite the heavy handed when he attacked. The first strike that he made was already aimed at their vitals.
Seeing this, Huang Xie stepped forward in front of Yu Huang and had a layer of green light appear around him.
When Mei Yao’s sword stabbed him, it was actually repelled with the sound of metal clanging.
Mei Yao was surprised by this, but he shouldn’t have.
Yu Huang had taken advantage of this opening to go forward. He went right in front of Mei Yao and raised his fist to punch him in the face.
The way that the two of them moved, it was as if they were very used to each other’s abilities. It was almost as if they were in sync with each other.
Though that was hard to believe with how they acted around each other normally.
Rivals that fought knew each other better than fake friends sometimes. They had a firsthand experience of how strong each other are. So they were able to work together better than most people did.
Mei Yao was caught off guard by this sudden punch from Yu Huang and he was stunned by the fact that his sword didn’t work against Huang Xie, so he wasn’t able to dodge this punch and was knocked to the ground.
But after falling to the ground from this punch, he suddenly lost his temper as he said, “How dare you do that?! Do you know how precious this face is?! What if you had scratched it?! You would be cursed at by all the girls in this world!”
Huang Xie and Yu Huang just looked at him like they thought he was crazy and there was the urge to beat him up even more that filled them.
But they held back in the end and allowed Mei Yao to stand up.
After all, to keep beating Mei Yao while he was still on the ground felt a bit wrong.
If he was standing, then it felt more right.
However, Mei Yao didn’t keep fighting as he moved back to create some space between them.
Even if he looked like a frivolous young master, there was a reason why he had been chosen to represent his sect in this tournament. It wasn’t as if he was just an empty vase that was here to fill the numbers.
He knew that he couldn’t pierce through Huang Xie’s defenses without fighting all out and even then, he wasn’t certain that he would be able to pierce these defenses.
He wouldn’t continue a fight that he saw no use in continuing.
Instead, he just looked at Huang Xie and Yu Huang before saying, “Your names? I’ve deemed you worthy of giving your names to me.”
Huang Xie and Yu Huang both looked like they wanted to punch him again, but they held back in the end before giving their names.
Mei Yao narrowed his eyes to look at them before simply saying, “I’ll remember them.”
Then with a wave to his group, he suddenly turned to leave.
It seemed like he wasn’t as dumb as he looked and knew how to hold himself back when he needed to.
Though that wasn’t a good sign.
After all, that meant that he would be a formidable enemy in the future.
Yu Huang looked at Huang Xie and asked, “How strong was his attack?”
Huang Xie revealed a bitter smile as he said, “It wasn’t weak, but it wasn’t that strong either. It was definitely not something to look down on.”
Yu Huang gave a slight nod when he heard this before narrowing his eyes to look at Mei Yao walking away.
But he wasn’t the only one that had made a move during this time.
There were two groups that had approached the Love Sect group, but the second group had been idle during this whole time. It seemed that they had been watching everything happen, as if they were waiting for something.
When Huang Xie and Yu Huang were focused on Mei Yao’s group who was leaving, that group suddenly made their move.
The handsome blue haired young master who was in charge of this group was the one that came forward.
With just a single step, he was already in front of Xiao Ming with his blade raised.
He didn’t hesitate as he brought that blade down at Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming just looked up at the blue haired young man and tilted her head as if she wasn’t scared of this blade at all.
But there was a reason why she was looking at him like this.
That was because there was someone who suddenly appeared by her side and raised their own sword to block this blade.
After this person blocked this blade, he looked at her and said, “Junior Sister Xiao, are you alright?”
Xiao Ming narrowed her eyes to look at this person who had suddenly appeared.
Then her eyes filled with a trace of hostility.
That was because she could see the mark that was on this person’s chest.
It was the mark of the Martial Might Sect.
That meant that this person was someone from the Martial Might Sect.
No, for this person to appear like this, it was clear that they were the leader of the Martial Might Sect group.
Seeing that she didn’t respond, this person didn’t seem to mind as they turned back to the person in front of them and raised their sword up to push back the blade.
Then with one quick slash, they pushed that person all the way back to their own group.
With narrowed eyes, this person from the Martial Might Sect said, “Leave and I’ll spare you.”
The person that had attacked Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes to look at the person from the Martial Might Sect before quickly waving his hand at his group and leaving.
Once they left, that person from the Martial Might Sect turned back to Xiao Ming and was about to say something. But before they could say anything, Huang Xie and Yu Huang came back to stand in between that person and Xiao Ming.
That person didn’t seem to mind as he said with a smile, “Friends from the Love Sect, I would like to formally apologize for the things that my Junior Brother Tang did. I hope that you can forgive our Martial Might Sect and not mistake us all for people like him.”
The way that he said this sounded very sincere and he even bowed his head at the end of it to show his sincerity.
The people around even praised him for this.
“Senior Brother Tian…he’s so handsome!”
“Senior Brother Tian, he’s so generous!”
“Senior Brother Tian, please marry me!”
Though most of it…was just his fans praising him.
After he bowed his head for a bit, this person called Senior Brother Tian raised his head and said with cupped hands, “My name is Tian Fei, the first senior brother of the Martial Might Sect. It is a pleasure to meet you.”
Though he did all of this, the Love Sect group just remained silent and stared at him with wary looks.
Senior Brother Tian didn’t seem affected by this as he kept looking at them with a smile on his face.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Ming finally gave a nod to acknowledge him, but she turned to leave after that.
It seemed like she didn’t want anything to do with this Senior Brother Tian.
But before she could leave, Senior Brother Tian said, “Junior Sister Ming, how about going with us into the Ten Thousand Beast Valley?”
