Chapter 93: The Finals (2)
Translator: Sissy That Walk
Nangong Ye had a tall and elegant figure and wore golden robes made of ice-blue silk, with the elegant bamboo leaf pattern of embroidery on the robe and the white jade hairpin on his head adding radiance and beauty to each other. He wore a gentle smile and was standing there, as refreshing as spring wind, striking as a handsome young man and so delightful to the eye.

By contrast, Murong Qingyan still wore a blue dress that looked very old-fashioned though it wasn’t in rags. Her right side face looked delicate and pretty, but pitifully, birthmarks on her left cheek made her face extraordinarily weird.

They were standing together, and the contrast was particularly striking.

Almost all of the audience believed that Nangong Ye would win, despite the fact that Murong Qingyan was also strong, or she couldn’t have entered the finals. But she was so different from Nangong Ye. There was an insurmountable gap between advanced stage of the Foundation Level and advanced stage of the Light Level.

The eyes of those ladies of big families sparkled with infatuation. For them, Nangong Ye was the best choice to be a husband. In spite of Nangong Ye’s engagement to Murong Qingxue, Murong Qingxue had been hurt severely in the game a few days ago and lost badly, which could be a disgrace to her. So whether the engagement was valid was uncertain.

It was Murong Qingxue’s performance a few days ago that made those ladies who were still unmarried renew their hopes.

No one noticed that in the dark, a pair of vicious eyes which were full of hatred and excitement were staring at Murong Qingyan who was in the ring.

That was Murong Qingxue. At the moment she was sitting not far behind Murong Xiong and was wearing a white dress. With a pale face she seemed invisible.

She should have rested in her house for her wounds hadn’t yet healed. But she insisted she should not be absent from the game and she must see with her own eyes that Murong Qingyan was completely defeated.

Yesterday she had sent a letter to her brother Ye and believed brother Ye would get revenge for her.

The two persons were standing at a distance. A cool breeze came in and blew their hair ends and clothes.

“Murong Qingyan, unexpectedly, we have such a day to fight.” Looking at Murong Qingyan who was standing opposite him, Nangong Ye sighed with emotion, “I’m really sorry for the engagement before. But the engagement was all decided by our fathers. I-”

Listening to Nangong Ye talking nonsense here, Murong Qingyan frowned and interrupted him, “What? Nangong Ye, you also intend to persuade me to admit defeat like Murong Qingxue? You really are made for each other!”

“That’s my fault about breaking off our engagement.” Hearing Murong Qingyan mention Murong Qingxue, Nangong Ye’s face turned cold, “But it had nothing to do with Xuer. We don’t stand a chance of being together even without Xuer. You really shouldn’t have done that to Xuer.”

“It seems that Murong Qingxue has said something to you.” Murong Qingyan understood, “But today I’m standing here not to talk nonsense with you. Let’s start! No need to waste time here.”

“You–” Seeing Murong Qingyan showing no repent and no sign to mend her ways, a slight gloom flashed through Nangong Ye’s eyes, “Since you don’t know what’s good or bad, don’t blame me for my mercilessness.”

Yesterday he had received a letter from Xuer and knew Xuer’s injuries were intentionally caused by Murong Qingyan. Then Murong Qingyan even specially swaggered before Xuer. He was very angry at that.

But thinking it over, he thought the engagement breaking was his fault, so he wanted to give Murong Qingyan a chance. Now Murong Qingyan was ungrateful, he didn’t need to be polite to her.

Faced with Nangong Ye’s display of hypocrisy, Murong Qingyan looked cold then she directly took actions. Just a moment she ran in front of Nangong Ye and straight attacked him.

Nangong Ye didn’t expect Murong Qingyan would have taken actions so fast, so when he sensed danger, his body reacted first and dodged immediately. However, even if he avoided that fast, inevitably his jade-like face got painful from the wind that Murong Qingyan’s fist brought.

Seeing Nangong Ye avoided her attack, Murong Qingyan wasn’t surprised. It was abnormal if Nangong Ye was easy to deal with like Murong Qingxue. She had prepared for the hard fight today.

After Nangong Ye avoided the attack, Murong Qingyan didn’t stop but launched yet another attack again. Of course, she didn’t use spiritual power now but her real strength.

Seeing the two persons in the ring fighting in full swing, people around the ring felt their hearts naturally go up and down with their movements.
