Chapter 2, The Shadow Art of the Bamboo Prince

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Shi Xun fixed his gaze on Le Xiaolian, as if he had seen through something. Suddenly, the corners of his mouth curled upward, revealing a mischievous and wicked smile

I have always treated you well! Dear A-Lv!" At this, Xun Yun shrugged lightly, her eyes sparkling like two rainbows, playfully and lazily smiling like a cat, "I don't want to wait until the campus autumn cultural festival is over, only for someone to use a foot injury as an excuse to not fulfill A-Lv's agreement!

Is she not dreaming? The person she just bumped into was actually wearing a cornelian mask as well

He must have come to take revenge for his "henchman" Xiao Yanfeng! Hmph, in the face of such scum, I, who am determined to become the number one in the Star Alliance, will never back down! Jiang Sholiu, feel free to come at me!

Beneath the silky, smooth chestnut hair lies a face that is as pure and beautiful as moonlight, with a pair of eyes that are as clear as spring water yet as deep as the night sky, always sparkling with brilliant and dazzling light. The proud and confident bridge of the nose stands tall, while the two cherry-red lips are always adorned with smiles that are either radiant, playful, mischievous, or charming.

Suddenly, the shadow of a tall camphor tree not far from the clear spring trembled slightly. Behind it, a vague black figure raised its face adorned with a cornflower mask, gazing thoughtfully at Le Xiaolian. The gaze then fixated intensely on Shi Xun! ... Long fingers clenched tightly into a fist, and finally, with a loud "bang," struck heavily against the mottled trunk.

Wang ... ? ... vacancy. ? ! On a cold autumn night, the senior unexpectedly transformed from Wang into one of the three leaders ! ! What on earth is going on ? !

I never expected that this usually careless and unserious fellow would also have such a gentle side

He carefully set down Le Xiaolian's injured foot and said softly: "Xiao Kele... sometimes a confession is not just a matter between two people!"

I strive, strive, strive! I pull, pull, pull!

Hmph, the opportunity has come! Aren't you the one who is elusive and rarely seen? Today, I shall see what kind of three heads and six arms you truly possess

Up! Up! Xiao Feng! Hurry and eliminate that monster!

You ... ... you are ... ...

When meeting with senior Han Qiuyue, should I bring up this matter, and how should I comfort him...

Swish

Ouch ...! ... Damn foot, it had to start hurting at such a critical moment!

Oh... hehehe, the progress is indeed quite fast!" Shi Xun chuckled, yet there was not a trace of amusement in his eyes... He bent down and quickly took out another roll of bandage from the first aid kit, unknowingly pulling out quite a long section...

Before Le Xiaolian could regain her senses, "The Cornel Mask" had naturally taken her hand, gently wrapped one arm around her waist, and began to dance elegantly

Little Cola ... ... do not ... ... do not leave ... ...

Suddenly, she perked up and let out a joyful shout of excitement

Wow... I just realized that the voice of the wooden girl is also very pleasant to hear!

This ... ... this ... ... Looking at the crowd rushing towards her like a flood, Le Xiaolian stood there in shock, stunned!

"Huh?" Le Xiaolian was taken aback, her mind momentarily unable to process the information. After a long pause, she stammered, "Ah... it's not that. It's just that I overheard a few girls saying that Jiang Sholiu would be wearing a cornflower mask tonight, so I thought you were..."

However, Le Xiaolian remained completely unaffected as she sat in front of the old computer placed by the window, intently browsing the web

Jiang Shuo Liu, how can you embrace someone else!

As the party member Le Xiaolian thought her occiput was about to collide with the ground like a meteor striking the Earth, a voice suddenly sounded behind her, and immediately, a force steadily supported her back, causing her descending body to suddenly hover in mid-air

Handsome: A cold autumn night. Wen Zhenhai. Responding to Tianyu.

Are you not free

There is a young master who will heal your wounds, lost in ecstasy... However, little Cola, you must have felt quite disappointed the moment you removed your mask, as you were so close to seeing Jiang Shuo Liu!

It is not just that it is not good; thanks to that cabbage, it has become increasingly severe.

Gazing at the scene gently enveloped by the moonlight, which resembled a delicate veil, the handsome and dreamlike Shi Xun left Le Xiaolian momentarily entranced

It is all the fault of that despicable person Jiang Shuo Liu, which caused Senior Han Qiu Ye not to be re-elected as "King". He must be feeling very sad right now, and I truly worry about his current state of mind. ... However, he is still thinking about celebrating my victory for me ...

Yet that throbbing heartbeat

"Hurry up!" At that moment, the "Jujube Mask" that had just danced with Le Xiaolian let out a decisive shout.

Hello? This is Le Xiaolian

Ah! I am so sorry, so sorry! Le Xiaolian turned her head nervously and apologetically, wanting to express her regret to the innocent victim, but as soon as she turned around, she was completely stunned in place

Le Xiaolian hesitated for a moment, feeling somewhat embarrassed as she slowly took off her shoes, her face inexplicably flushed. However, Shi Xun, with a serious expression, carefully approached the wound with a cotton swab dipped in medicine, gently wiping it.

Wang: Vacancy

Suddenly, she was pulled by Jiang Shuo Liu, and with another unexpected spin, bang! She collided with a "human wall"!

Behind the bustling crowd, Zhang Xinru, with a pale face, anxiously gazed in the direction where Le Xiaolian had disappeared, murmuring to herself, "She will be happy"

We ... ...

Le Xiaolian looked at her dance partner across from her with some surprise, as if she wanted to see through the mysterious mask to uncover his true identity. Unfortunately, beneath the mask, apart from a pair of eyes that sparkled with a bright sheen and playfully winked at her, there was nothing else to be seen. Her intense curiosity could no longer be contained; Le Xiaolian gritted her teeth, suddenly yanked her hand, and reached for the mask on the face of the "Cornel Mask"!

"Shh—" Seeing Hao Zhenxi so excited that she could hardly contain herself, Le Xiaolian quickly raised a finger to her lips to signal silence, giving Hao Zhenxi a look that said "shut up".

Le Xiaolian opened her mouth wide, staring in astonishment at the two "Jujube Masks"!

The music gradually reached a climax, and "Jujube Mask" suddenly grasped Le Xiaolian's hand tightly, turning around with force

What is going on here

Xiaoxue! Xiaoru! We have defeated the green vegetable! Hahaha!

Jiang Shaoliu tightly embraced Le Xiaolian from behind, gently whispering in her ear. A warm breath brushed against the back of her ear, causing her entire ear to feel like a thermometer soaring in temperature, almost burning up!

Little Cola, you are quite disappointing. Where has your usual carefree courage gone? I never expected that you, who always charges forward recklessly, would also be afraid of losing face...

Le Xiaolian was taken aback for a moment, then regained her composure and quickly opened the forum webpage, focusing her gaze on it.

The wind gently caressed Le Xiaolian's hair, her back straight as an arrow, and an unusually serious expression adorned her face. At that moment, Shi Xun gazed at Le Xiaolian with flickering eyes, momentarily lost in thought.

"Zhu Yu's Mask" was taken aback, gazing at Le Xiao Lian with some surprise. The soft moonlight illuminated his handsome face, shimmering like the reflection of spring water.

A crescent moon hangs in the center of the sky, having unknowingly slipped into the thick layers of clouds. The sky is dim and devoid of light, as if a layer of gray and cold shadow has been superimposed upon it

But at this moment, his embrace was so warm, his arms tightly yet gently wrapped around Le Xiaolian's body, as if he would never let go...

Little Lian! Up there! Up there! Just as the joyful Little Lian was lost in excited memories, Hao Zhenxi, with wide eyes fixed on the webpage, suddenly let out a series of urgent exclamations

"Enough, a good man does not fight with a woman! Let's wait and see!" Xiao Yan said fiercely as he threw down a remark and turned to head back.

Wait, look! There is also a person wearing a daisy mask behind!

Xiao Lian, in order to celebrate your victory, I had originally planned to invite you to watch a movie as we discussed last time, but now I have a better idea. Would you be willing to go with me

A sprig of dogwood can symbolize victory

Jiang Shuo Liu! Please dance with me!

The playground at the summit of Duyue Mountain resembles boiling sleep, thoroughly bubbling over! In an instant, all the girls on the playground excitedly shouted and rushed towards Le Xiaolian and the "Jujube Mask"!

For a moment, neither Le Xiaolian nor Shi Xun spoke. After a short while, Shi Xun smiled faintly, lowered his head, and continued to help Le Xiaolian wrap the bandages.

As night gradually descends, the summit of Duiyue Mountain is enveloped in a serene stillness. Moonlight filters through the gaps in the leaves, casting clusters of dense shadows. The tall, interwoven trees stand side by side like towering giants, seemingly cutting off all that lies beyond.

Recalling the time she fell into a pit and was forced to sign the "Unequal Treaty of 'Alu'" with Shi Xun, Le Xiaolian felt a surge of anger, puffed up her cheeks, and shot him a glare

Bang

Upon hearing Shi Xun's words, Le Xiaolian seemed to ponder, "However, Shi Xun, why are you pretending to be mysterious and wearing the same mask as that damned Jiang Sholiu, and why did you bring me here?!"

In the embrace of the "Chrysanthemum Mask," Le Xiaolian watched as the raucous crowd moved further and further away from her, finally letting out a sigh of relief. However, she faintly sensed that another person wearing a subject mask had been gazing at her intently for a long time.

"Idiot—listen to me." Shen Xuechi looked at Xiao Yanfeng, speaking earnestly, word by word.

"Happy?" Zhang Xinru stared in disbelief with wide eyes. However, Shen Xuechi did not explain anything and walked away on her own.

Shen Xuechi said nothing, suddenly standing directly in front of Xiao Yanfeng, raising her chin and gazing intently at him. In an instant, the tips of their noses were almost touching.

A detached voice sounded, causing Xiao Yan Feng to stop in his tracks uncontrollably. When he turned around, he saw Shen Xuechi, whose expression was devoid of emotion, staring at him motionlessly with her glass-like eyes

Cold sweat continuously seeped from her forehead, and her feet felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, rendering her completely immobile! At this critical moment, "Juyue Mask" disregarded her willingness and swiftly embraced her, like an arrow released from a bow, racing quickly towards the side of the playground

Le Xiaolian picked up her phone, yet her eyes remained fixed on the news post on the computer screen, absentmindedly pressing the call button

Hmph! The heavens have eyes! My arch-enemy, with whom I can never coexist, has finally appeared!

Ring ring ring ring—ring ring ring ring—

At the edge of the clear spring, not too far from the playground at the mountain top, Le Xiaolian, sitting on the pebble beach, took advantage of the moment when the "Cornel Mask" opposite her was not paying attention and suddenly pulled off the mask from his face

Le Xiaolian clicked on the title quickly with curiosity and excitement, but when she saw the text beneath the title, she was taken aback and stood there in shock

Xiao Yan Feng muttered to himself while being captivated by Shen Xuechi's eyes, which seemed to have captured all the starlight in the night sky. His heart felt like a rabbit that had been startled awake, hopping wildly in his chest

... ... Xiao Lian, you actually want to... ...

Eh? Le Xiaolian stared wide-eyed in confusion

Wow! Jiang Shuo! Could you please shake hands with me

Hello! Hello! Have you heard? This time, the usually mysterious Jiang Shuo Liu will also be attending the ball! I heard that he will be wearing a cornflower mask!

Ah! The defeated general has fled— the cabbage has run away!

A mask can conceal one's face

There is... what is there to be disappointed about! Although the word "disappointed" was honestly written on her face, Ke Le Xiao Lian still hesitated and argued, "Jiang Shuo Liu is merely a turtle who enjoys hiding its head and showing its tail, never revealing its true self! It doesn't matter whether such a person is seen or not! Wah..."

What do you want to do!

Little Lian, it is I, on a cold autumn night

A series of questions surged in Le Xiaolian's mind like waves. Just as her thoughts became a chaotic mess, her phone suddenly rang

The sound of rustling leaves

Le Xiaolian's raised arm was firmly grasped by Jiang Sholiu's hand at lightning speed. Beneath the mask, Jiang Sholiu's expression was completely unreadable, yet his eyes subtly revealed a hint of amusement. He then quickly accelerated the rotation of their dance steps, causing her to feel a wave of dizziness

Shi Xun did not say anything further, and, lost in thought, opened the medicine box, took out a cotton swab, and skillfully dipped it into some medicinal solution

As two enormous golden fireworks burst forth at the summit of Dayue Mountain, illuminating the entire night sky, the annual Star Alliance Grand Festival—"Campus Autumn Cultural Festival"—reaches its climax

It is too obvious! He must be doing it on purpose

Perhaps... Le Xiaolian did not notice the unusual emotions of Xu Yi. Her long eyelashes fluttered twice as she looked at the glistening pebbles beneath her feet, smiling as she scratched the back of her head, "Hehe, but Han Qiu, Senior, already has a girl he likes!"

Ah! What?!

Caution

What nonsense... I thought my foot was broken!" Le Xiaolian rubbed her injured foot with tears in her eyes, feeling frustrated, and muttered with a choked voice.

Xiao Yan looked him up and down, frowning impatiently and raising his chin

Standing calmly to the side, holding a DV, Shen Xuechi glanced at the frenzied girl and threw a jelly of unknown origin into her mouth, coldly uttering four words

Suddenly, a light bulb lit up in Le Xiaolian's mind, and countless threads of thought were smoothly connected together

Hahaha! However, Xun, there is one thing you need not worry about for me! I will not forever shy away from expressing my feelings simply out of fear of rejection! I, Le Xiaolian, have never been such a coward!

How is it possible? My own "savior" is actually wearing a mugwort mask? This joke has gone too far!

Do not leave

Are her eyes made of crystal? Why do they shine?

One second ... ... two seconds. ... ... ... three seconds ...

Two faint blushes unexpectedly spread across his somewhat darkened cheeks like a chemical reaction

Jiang Shuo Liu! Please! Don't go!

Shi Xun was taken aback, staring blankly as he raised his head to look at Le Xiaolian. Her clear and transparent gaze seemed to be sunlight, making everything around them bright and warm! Even his heart felt as if it was melting in a warm current.

No! If this continues, I might throw up! Damn it!

Wow! Suddenly, a girl walking past her slipped and crashed heavily into Le Xiaolian's leg

Xiao Yan Feng immediately became as excited as a gorilla, raising both arms to showcase his strength to the surrounding classmates

Hmph! Upon hearing Xun's response, Le Xiaolian pouted her face to the side, muttering to herself in a low voice, "I knew this guy wasn't so kind-hearted!"

For whom is it ultimately intended

In an instant, Le Xiaolian felt as if she had lost her balance, a wave of dizziness washing over her! At that moment, the hand of the "Jujube Mask" tightened slightly around her waist, and Le Xiaolian found herself involuntarily lying in his embrace! ... The "Jujube Mask" leaned down with immense pressure, gazing deeply at her ...

Ah... Xiao Lian! Xiao Lian has been abducted! What are we to do?

Xiao Yan involuntarily shuddered all over, slightly retreating under the pressure of Shen Xuechi. He lowered his face, staring with wide eyes at Shen Xuechi, who was in a standoff with him.

The crowd that surged in suddenly froze, and at that moment, the team that had originally been working together to charge in one direction fell into chaos, with many people turning around and quickly surrounding another "Jujube Mask".

Wow

It can also represent romance

Upon seeing Le Xiaolian hang up the phone, Hao Zhenxi's eyes widened in surprise, as if she had just heard that she had won 5 million in the lottery

The sound of rustling... The sound of rustling...

Huh? What did you say?

What... what better idea could there be?! How is it that the senior still has such a mood on a cold autumn night?

Alright, Little Cola, quickly stretch out your foot! This young master will personally help you bandage it, and your foot injury will surely heal faster than a rocket!

"Saliva is about to drip down!" Suddenly, Shi Xun raised her head and looked at her with a mischievous smile

Indeed... this person seems to be able to manipulate my emotions, making my surroundings at times bright and sunny, and at other times overcast and gloomy. I truly cannot understand whether this person is an angel or a demon...

"By the way, Xiaokela, what about that other guy?" Shi Xun seemed to suddenly remember something, and his expression became serious. "The competition is about to end, have you prepared to confess to him?"

After a while, he lowered his head and asked as if to himself, "Is the happiness of others more important than one's own joy?"

Heavens, Jiang Shuo Liu's fingers are surprisingly long and well-proportioned! Le Xiao Lian did not extend her hand, but stood there in a daze, her mind filled with thick paste—hasn't he always been playing tricks on me? Why is he asking me to dance? ... Or is it that ...

The despicable Jiang Shuo Liu, who has never dared to confront me face to face, only instructs that fool Qing Cai Tou to employ some insidious tactics to frame me. Today, I will not let this opportunity slip by; I will ruthlessly expose his filthy and despicable true nature

Ah, I understand!

Le Xiaolian gently rolled the mouse. Immediately, her eyes brightened, and her attention was suddenly drawn to a prominent title!

Despite the entire summit of Daiyue Mountain being enveloped in pink bubbles at this moment, by the bonfire, the three individuals who are the focus of this cultural festival—Le Xiaolian, Shen Xuechi, and Xiao Yanfeng—are like three gladiators, fiercely igniting their own little universes, glaring at each other with furrowed brows and fierce expressions

A wave of romantic and gentle music began to play, and the host excitedly announced the final event of this cultural festival—the "Chrysanthemum Exchange Ceremony." The students, who had been eagerly anticipating this moment, could finally start exchanging chrysanthemums, which symbolize "friendship." In an instant, the fierce flames of competition that had been burning were dispersed by the music and the night breeze, leaving only the sweet romance of summer and the purity of friendship.

Silence ... ... Silence ... ...

Oh? Senior Han... Han Qiu Ye?!

Le Xiaolian nodded repeatedly, her face breaking into a radiant smile, her large eyes transforming into crescent moons: "Fool! Do you know? When you truly like someone, if they are not smiling, you won't want to feel happy alone!"

The third place is the "Snow Lotus" group from Deya High School

What are you doing

At that moment, Le Xiaolian felt as if she had turned into a rigid stone statue, her whole body stiff and unable to move, while her heart was beating violently as if out of control. The "Jujube Mask" emitted a pleasant fragrance, making her feel somewhat dizzy. Suddenly, a strange thought emerged—if we were not sworn enemies, Jiang Sholiu would indeed make a wonderful dance partner! ... Moreover, his hands were surprisingly gentle ... Suddenly, a strange thought emerged—if we were not sworn enemies, Jiang Sholiu would indeed make a wonderful dance partner! ... Moreover, his hands were surprisingly gentle ...

Hearing the sound of the cold autumn night, Le Xiaolian was suddenly taken aback... This was the first time that Senior Han Qiuyue had actively called her...

Observing Shi Xun's meticulous demeanor, a peculiar emotion gradually enveloped Le Xiaolian like the morning mist on the water's surface

Le Xiaolian playfully slapped Shi Xun on the top of his head, laughing heartily as she spoke

Before she could comprehend what was happening, she felt her arm being tightly grasped by a hand, and her body involuntarily stumbled back several steps. Then, following a powerful force, she leaned back and fell heavily into Jiang Shuo Liu's embrace

As soon as the host's voice fell, a brilliant and delightful smile blossomed on Le Xiaolian's face like a firework!

After the confession ended, I was still waiting for you... waiting for you to report to me! My dear A-Lv!" At this point, Shi Xun suddenly raised his head and revealed a mischievous smile at her

Shi Xun gazed at Le Xiaolian's bright smile, feeling a slight stir in his heart: Indeed, the Le Xiaolian I know has never been a coward; it is just that I have never realized so seriously until now the brilliance that lies within her heart

Le Xiaolian rubbed her painfully prickling foot, thinking angrily. She suddenly raised her head and looked up and down at Shi Xun, raising her voice alertly.

Ah, is there a mistake? Why is it again the injured foot! Le Xiaolian only felt a sharp pain in her toe, and her body fell backward like a toppled flagpole!

Fourth place, Yanli High School, 'Rose' team

But you clearly saw that there were other people wearing the osmanthus mask! Before Le Xiaolian could finish her sentence, Shi Xun interrupted her with a dismissive pout.

It can also obscure the truth

Thinking, Le Xiaolian turned her serious gaze towards the chaotic crowd behind her

| Hot | `` The Genius Among Geniuses '' Jiang Shuo Liu unexpectedly appears at the Star Tower, exuding a kingly aura that directly challenges the `` King of Blue Roses '', leaving Han Qiu Ye in a precarious situation

To her surprise, the dance steps of "Jujube Mask" were remarkably fluid, each advance and retreat executed with such perfection and grace, seamlessly harmonizing with the flowing music, creating a series of splendid ripples.

Shi Xun paused his actions, raised his head, and looked at her with a face full of confusion

Stop shouting, stop shouting! I am about to pass out! Ah—I'm dying!

Decide the battle to the death

"Huh? The second list? Xiao Lian, what are you talking about?" Hearing Le Xiao Lian's cheer, Hao Zhenxi curiously put down the game controller in her hand and ran over to Le Xiao Lian's side

Could it be that I spun too many times just now, and my vision is blurred?

Wow! How wonderful! It's us! The ranking on the list can finally be refreshed!

Spin, jump

The chaotic footsteps behind her gradually drew closer, and just as Le Xiaolian thought she would be engulfed by the "flood of beasts" that was the infatuated crowd, a loud shout, as if discovering a new continent, erupted from the back of the throng

Upon hearing Hao Zhenxi's ambiguous remarks, which were difficult to discern as either praise or criticism, Le Xiaolian pouted in dissatisfaction and cast her a glance. However, her excited thoughts could not help but drift back to yesterday

Furthermore, as I mention this, Jiang Shuo Liu's eyes, which shone like crystals under the sunlight, appeared sorrowful and dim. You may laugh, but you cannot comprehend why I have not deleted the audio of your confession on that cold autumn night, just as you cannot understand what the pair of angelic wings that have always protected you truly represents

"No! It is not because of this!" Le Xiaolian suddenly interrupted Shi Xun's words, speaking firmly and loudly.

Sixth place, Xinghua High School, Whirlwind Team

This ... ... reminded me of a cold autumn night, and Le Xiaolian seemed to transform into a different person instantly. She rested her chin on her knees, her eyes sparkling with a glimmer of hope, and her tone unconsciously softened, "I have already made an agreement with Senior Han Qiu that if we achieve a ranking within the top ten in this competition, we will go watch a movie together this weekend ... ... "

However, nothing in the world is purely so

Wow! Is that true?! But there are so many masks of Zhuyue! How can we know who Jiang Shuo Liu is?

Thud

Le Xiaolian finally regained her composure, but just as she was about to take a step, a piercing pain surged up from her toes like a centipede crawling swiftly upward

However, Xiao Yan Feng seemed to have entered a dreamlike realm filled with gentle spring breezes and blooming flowers, his gaze flickering incessantly, and his heart continuously marveling.

Alright, then we will meet at the school gate at 10:00 AM on Sunday morning

On Saturday morning, the Jianle Welfare Institute in Xinghua City was bustling with activity. In a small room on the second floor, all the children in the welfare institute were gathered in front of the television, excitedly playing on a game console.

Oh my God ... today I can finally witness his charisma!

However, under the forceful "detention" by Jiang Shuo, Le Xiaolian felt like a Sun Wukong trapped beneath the Five Finger Mountain, utterly at a loss

Bang—bang swoosh—bang bang bang

Is this guy Jiang Shao Liu

Isn't the person wearing the cornelian mask Jiang Shuo Liu? Le Xiao Lian gaped, staring in astonishment at the two "cornelian masks"!

At this moment, a sneaky figure in the crowd suddenly caught Le Xiaolian's attention, prompting her to exclaim in surprise

Because of this! As Xun spoke, he magically produced a white first aid kit from behind him, holding it in both hands and shaking it in front of him as if presenting a treasure. "Xiao Kele, your foot injury hasn't healed yet, has it?"

Le Xiaolian scrutinized the "Cornel Mask" before her, taking a deep breath to steady herself. Then, with complete confidence, she raised her head, inclined her body slightly, and performed a standard return gesture without being overly humble or assertive. Following that, she cheerfully extended her hand, gently placing it in the palm of the "Cornel Mask"!

"What is so strange?" Shi Xun said with a smile as he looked at Le Xiaolian, "You should thank me, who else would invite you to dance!"

Let me tell you, as long as it is not Jiang Shaoliu, all the other boys' osmanthus masks have been confiscated by several girls from the student council

Standing next to her, Hao Zhenxi was even more excited, her eyes sparkling with delight, as she hurriedly pressed her ear to the other side of Le Xiaolian's phone, covering her mouth and listening intently.

... ... '' Le Xiaolian's words plunged Jiang Sholiu into a moment of silence. It was unclear how long had passed when a despondent and powerless voice finally emerged from his throat, suppressed as he said, `` So, it is for these reasons that you can see nothing but him, is that right? Xiao Kele, I cannot accept this ''

A sudden flurry of drumbeats marks the final segment of this year's Star Alliance "Campus Autumn Cultural Festival"—the awards ceremony! Based on the results of the climbing, poetry, and dance segments, as well as the scores from the secret judges, the competition has finally reached its conclusion! All students who placed will receive additional points on the leaderboard

A thunderous sound of participation erupted at the summit of Daiyue Mountain

That's wonderful! I have finally made it to the second list!

Le Xiaolian let out a light sigh and said slowly: "I... I am not afraid of being rejected. It is just that... because I have not yet determined whether I can bring happiness to Han Qiu and Senior. Rather than having him accept me, I hope that someone like Tian can truly be happy..."

Just as Le Xiaolian turned to leave, a loud shout from Doctor Jiang Shuo Liu suddenly echoed.

As Le Xiaolian was speaking, a sudden sharp pain pierced through her feet

Shen Xuechi fixed her gaze on Xiao Yanfeng, who was "slipping away like oil underfoot," and let out a cold "hmph" with determination to succeed

Oh? Could this be the legendary ranking of outstanding students from the Star Alliance? Xiao Lian, you actually ranked 39th! I really didn't expect that

But when she saw that pure and innocent smile on Xun's face, which was even more radiant than a sunflower, the anger that was clearly surging within her unexpectedly dissipated like smoke, leaving her with no choice but to let out a long sigh of resignation

Ugh..." Le Xiaolian sobbed softly, slowly opening her eyes that had been tightly shut out of fear. However, just as she was about to express her gratitude to the person who had helped her, her expression suddenly froze, becoming as rigid as granite, to the point where her blood seemed to almost stop flowing!

Ahahaha! I apologize!" Shi Xun lowered his head to look at Le Xiaolian's ankles, which were wrapped up like "zongzi," and smiled apologetically, "I accidentally used too much force just now! Does it hurt a lot?"

"Shi Xun? How is it you?" Seeing that familiar face, Le Xiaolian exclaimed in surprise

Hehe, thirty percent?! If you give it your all, won't you lose even more miserably!" Le Xiaolian gritted her teeth, gently wiggling her painful toes, struggling to support her body, and with some difficulty, managed to show a mocking smile.

However, it was utterly unexpected that Jiang Sholiu's speed was actually twice as fast as hers

Oh no! Sister Xiaoxi! Let me play for a bit too! I have been waiting for a long time!

Ah! No, no! I am available, I am available!

Why are you suddenly being so nice to me

Le Xiaolian maintained a half-suspended posture, staring in disbelief at the unexpected guest in front of her with wide eyes! He had deep chestnut-colored hair, and half of his face was obscured by a mask depicting a golden deity! Suddenly, Le Xiaolian's head buzzed like a bell struck with force, while her throat felt like a tape recorder stuck in the city walls; despite the urge to shout loudly, she could only produce a dry "kaka" sound!

Jiang Shaoliu actually disrupted the tower assault competition of senior Han Qiuyue? This is simply outrageous! As a freshman in the first year of high school, Jiang Shaoliu has no right to participate in the tower assault. Since he participated and then withdrew midway, what exactly is he playing at?

The latest Star Alliance King of Kings ranking in 2008

You two little brats... You just used a cunning scheme to trap me, and now you dare to come over? Do you really want to seek death?!" Xiao Yan Feng's gaze swept back and forth over Shen Xuechi and Le Xiaolian, who stood side by side in front of him, baring his teeth and shouting, "Wood, wooden girl, I'm not trying to scare you. In fact, I only used thirty percent of my strength just now; I haven't even used my ultimate technique yet!

Under the moonlight, the clear spring flows silently, rendering the surroundings even more tranquil

Speaking of which, although this guy always has a blank expression like a wooden post, he is actually quite good-looking... He has a face no bigger than a palm, a pair of beautiful big eyes that resemble black pearls, delicate eyebrows, a straight nose, and a small cherry-like mouth... Moreover... Moreover, I, Little Whirlwind, have never been this close to a girl before.

Wow... Jiang Shuliu is over there! Jiang Shuliu!

However, everything that happened suddenly plunged Le Xiaolian into a deeper state of dizziness

| Major Exposé | First-year high school student Jiang Shuo Liu disregards last year's champion Han Qiuyue! Disrupts the competition scene but withdraws midway! The reason remains a mystery

"Xiao Lian, quickly take a look at the other posts about the last tower attack!" Hao Zhenxi urged anxiously, giving Le Xiao Lian's shoulder a firm pat.

Bu Deng Le, Xiao Lian exclaimed in surprise, "The Mistletoe Mask" had already helped her up with a strong hand, and then gracefully bowed to her, extending a fair hand in a gesture of invitation.

Upon hearing the name Jiang Shaoliu, Le Xiaolian's ears perked up like trumpets, and her two little braids, overwhelmed with excitement, nearly shot up to the sky

Hao Zhenxi wisely closed her mouth, while Le Xiaolian's heavy-hearted gaze returned to the latest Wang Shuai ranking.

Le Xiaolian, drenched in cold sweat, looked at Xiao Yanfeng, who was clutching his injured leg and screaming in terror like a frightened monkey, fleeing in all directions. Meanwhile, Shen Xuechi, with a face full of grim determination, pursued Xiao Yanfeng relentlessly, resembling a "rat extermination squad." Above them floated a long string of small black dots, filled with fear.

At this point, Le Xiaolian let out a gentle sigh, her gaze once again shifting to Jiang Shuliu. "Right now, I am not competing because I want Han Qiuyue to win against you... Since entering the Star Alliance, whenever I encountered difficulties, it was always Han Qiuyue who stepped forward to help me first. He helped me resolve the turmoil surrounding the audio incident, restored my qualifications for the special training class, and when I was bullied by my classmates, he silently protected me, brought me lunch, and even jumped into the galaxy to save me without hesitation. He has given so much for me; to me, he is like a perfect angel. He helped me resolve the audio incident, restored my qualifications for the special training class, and when I was bullied by my classmates, he silently protected me, brought me lunch, and even jumped into the galaxy to save me without hesitation. He has given so much for me; to me, he is like a perfect angel... Therefore, although I do not understand the true reason for the competition between you, now that he needs my help, I cannot refuse..."

Mugwort Mask ... ... Mugwort Mask. ... ... ... If only Jiang Shuo Liu wore this mask, he would not be able to escape ...

Knock knock knock knock—knock knock knock knock

The laughter of Le Xiaolian and Shi Xun gradually faded into the air

2008 Star Alliance Latest King List

You are dreaming!

Bang

Bang! Bang bang!
