Chapter 484: He Will Come (Fifth Update)

She instinctively wanted to deny the suspicion, but that line of handwriting just now had been crystal clear!

Dragon Fang Mountain, Jian Fengchi!

In the entire Xiling City, there was only one Dragon Fang Mountain, and only one Jian Fengchi!

The reason she knew of this person was because she had heard him mentioned during a casual chat with her cousin previously.

Dragon Fang Mountain and the Lingyun Sect had been at odds for many years, constantly looking down on one another.

In his description, this Jian Fengchi was arrogant and unrestrained, completely lawless, and had even once verbally berated the nine Great Elders of the Lingyun Sect to their faces!

Everyone in the entire Lingyun Sect loathed Jian Fengchi to the point of itching their teeth!

But unfortunately, he was the Young Master of Dragon Fang Mountain, possessing a noble status and extremely powerful strength.

Never mind ordinary people; most of the aristocratic families in Xiling City had to treat him with great courtesy!

Could that young man they encountered that day really be—

Her heart was filled with unease, and she walked to the side with unsteady steps.

When Elder Qiu Xi and Elder Duanmu Chun saw Jian Fengchi's name, they were also startled.

When they looked back at Chu Liuyue, the expressions in their eyes shifted slightly.

Chu Liuyue withdrew her bead. Seeing that the expressions of the two were somewhat off, she asked with a smile

"Do the two Elders have anything else?"

Elder Duanmu Chun shook his head

"Nothing. Your number is fifty-three. Go down and prepare first."

"Yes."

Chu Liuyue responded and turned to walk to the other side.

The two elders exchanged a glance, both seeing the doubt in each other's eyes.

"It seems we didn't send him out this time..."

"But this list was registered by Liu Xingyi personally after meeting the people; it cannot be wrong. Perhaps... we simply don't know."

Aside from that, there seemed to be no other explanation.

The people behind had already stepped forward.

The two stopped and continued with the sorting.

Zhao Yunzhi's mind was a tangled mess. She walked quickly toward the group of Lingyun Sect disciples she had been talking to earlier.

Seeing her strange expression, the group hurriedly asked

"Yunzhi, what's wrong?"

Zhao Yunzhi's fingers twisted together as she asked with great trepidation

"That... that Jian Fengchi, what does he look like?"

The group was momentarily stunned.

"Why are you suddenly asking about him?"

Zhao Yunzhi managed a forced smile

"I heard my cousin mention him before, so I was just curious."

"Him? Hmph, he naturally has the face of a menace!"

A woman with round eyes spoke indignantly, her eyes even carrying a hint of resentment.

Another woman beside her laughed

"Don't go scaring Yunzhi. She's just asking. Besides, don't let others see you like this, lest they bring up unpleasant matters again."

As the words fell, the round-eyed woman stamped her foot before calming down slightly.

"Jian Fengchi is tall and imposing, even taller than most men, and he is born with a pair of ice-like blue eyes. This is a hereditary facial characteristic of the Dragon Fang Mountain bloodline. If you saw him, you should be able to recognize him at a glance. However, that Jian Fengchi has too many grievances with our Lingyun Sect; it's better not to see such a person."

The more Zhao Yunzhi listened, the colder her heart became.

It really was... it really was!

Not only had she already seen him, but she had also deeply offended him!

That was the Young Master of Dragon Fang Mountain! An existence who could sit on equal footing with the Elders of the Lingyun Sect!

Even the Sect Leader of the Lingyun Sect was quite patient with him!

And her cousin... was merely one of nearly two hundred disciples under the Sect Leader. To fight Jian Fengchi was simply throwing an egg against a stone!

Not to mention herself!

Zhao Yunzhi closed her eyes in despair.

Even if her cousin hadn't seen Jian Fengchi with his own eyes, he should have been able to guess!

What should she do!?

"Yunzhi, are you alright?"

The others asked with concern.

"Are you too nervous? It's fine, that opponent of yours, Chu Liuyue, is only a third-stage martial artist; she definitely won't be your match!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yunzhi's complexion improved slightly.

That's right!

Since things had come to this, even if she went to apologize, Chu Liuyue and Jian Fengchi would certainly not show any mercy!

If that was the case, it would be better to win this match first!

As long as she performed excellently at the Wan Zheng Assembly, they wouldn't be able to do anything to her!

"Thank you, brothers and sisters. I will definitely work hard."

"Hey, your opponent is called Chu Liuyue, right?" A young man suddenly thought of something and asked quickly.

Zhao Yunzhi nodded.

The young man's expression instantly became very strange.

"It's actually her!?"

Zhao Yunzhi and the others were completely bewildered.

The young man clapped his hands and reminded them urgently

"Have you all forgotten? There was a rumor in Xiling City yesterday saying that a third-stage female martial artist defeated a fifth-stage martial artist!? I just remembered, that woman's name is Chu Liuyue!"

The group was dumbfounded.

Zhao Yunzhi was the most shocked.

"There was such a thing? How is that possible!? Although some martial artists can fight above their level, this is too exaggerated—"

She had been busy with the Wan Zheng Assembly matters all day yesterday and had no idea about this rumor!

"It's true! Many people saw it at Pingliang Square at the time!"

The group suddenly fell silent, looking toward Zhao Yunzhi.

Come to think of it, Zhao Yunzhi was also at the early stage of the fifth rank...

Zhao Yunzhi clenched her fists

"Even if that rumor is true, so what? Who knows if it was a coincidence? Or perhaps she used some low-class tricks? Regardless, Chu Liuyue absolutely cannot win against me!"

Today, she could only win; she could not lose!

While Zhao Yunzhi was anxious and restless, Chu Liuyue was leisurely and at ease.

Only those standing nearby had seen Jian Fengchi's name; it had not spread, so the way people looked at her was still the same as before.

She stood there alone and casually, appearing calm and composed, but in reality, she was listening to the people nearby.

"...So, the Third Princess won't be coming today?"

"Yeah! Currently, all the affairs of the entire Tianling Empire are piled upon her. This is only the first round of preliminaries; of course she won't come in person! However, I heard that the Third Princess's fiancé, the eldest young master of the Jiang family, will be coming!"

Chu Liuyue suddenly raised her eyes to look!
