Chapter 61: Nangong Ye Entering the Court
Compared with the first round, the second one seemed to be the highlight of this match. One who managed to pass the first test where a hundred people tangled with each other was of higher ability. However, there emerged one person who almost hit the luck–Murong Qingyan.
Very soon, the second round began, and the crowd gradually stopped their discussion. Everyone paid attention to the competition that happened on the martial ring.
Murong Qingyan also took her seat, watching the competition. In spite of considerable training she had received, her experience of actual fights proved still insufficient. Besides, she was not very clear about the strength of Murong Qingxue and Nangong Ye.
It was beyond doubt that Nangong Ye possessed the highest strength among those people, so if she wanted to win the contest, she must defeat him. Nangong Ye already reached the middle stage of the Heartbeat Period, a stage where she found herself not quite worthy yet. It would be a tough one for her to fight against Nangong Ye. However, no matter what would happen, she was determined to triumph.
Thinking of this, a glimmer of determination to win a victory flashed across Murong Qingyan’s eyes.
“Now is the tenth contest of the second round: Nangong Ye versus Qiu Yuanqi.”
The second round was a lot more exciting than the first one, but Murong Qingyan got bored gradually, watching the contesters in the arena appeared not as powerful as she had imagined. Just as she idled away time aimlessly, a sonorous voice sounded, and all her attention was suddenly drew back.
Nangong Ye entered the court!
At once everyone was bubbling over with excitement, all sitting bolt upright to have wonderful views instead of being totally unconcerned as before. Some of the young ladies who had almost fallen asleep became refreshed immediately and seemed on the verge of screaming when observing the handsome figure on the stage.
Nangong Ye, a tall good-looking man of noble birth, possessed enormous strength and excellent gift and was regarded as the Mr. Right by a large amount of ladies in Galo. From the perspective of those girls, he even held as the same position as princes of the royal family. In the eyes of everyone including himself, the only “stain” on his name was the engagement he had once had with Murong Qingyan.
However, it was fortunate that the engagement had been broken off now.
Learning that even if the engagement between Nangong Ye and Murong Qingyan was called off, the marriage contract he signed with Murong family continued to be valid except that the prospective bride would be another one, some ladies still refused to give up.
After all, God knew what would happen in the future. Just look at the engagement between Nangong ye and Murong Qingyan. Although Murong Qingxue was his fiancée now, everyone still had a chance before they got married.
Even if Nangong Ye really married Murong Qingyan one day, he could also take concubines! Faced with Nangong Ye’s distinguished position and great power, the ladies even felt delighted to serve as a concubine with all their heart.
In contrast, Nangong Ye turned a blind eye to their adoration. With a gentle smile on his face, he gazed at his rival opposite who showed a trace of timidity.
“Believe me, you have no need to be nervous. It’s nothing more than a process of mutual learning. I will take care not to overdo it and won’t be too strict with you.”
On hearing Nangong Ye’s words, Qiu Yuanqi couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Quite confident about his strength, he knew his place and understood that a tremendous difference occurred between him and Nangong Ye.
