Gongyang Ying heard this, and her beautiful forehead seemed to have veins throbbing.
She took a deep breath and said to Sikong Jing, "Sikong Jing, they’re talking about us again. They’re probably insulting your character, aren’t they? Do you want to give them another beating?"
As soon as she said this, Ling Feiyan instantly lost her arrogance, with her whole body hair standing on end.
She had been beaten by Sikong Jing before, and she had no power to fight back.
Meanwhile, Gongyang Ying puffed her cheeks and stared at Sikong Jing, still very upset about what had been said about insulting his character.
To be rumored with herself and then feel insulted, it really was frustrating.
Looking at her angry face, Sikong Jing couldn’t help but want to laugh, "Miss Gongyang, why don’t we become sworn siblings?"
"Huh?" Gongyang Ying was directly dumbfounded, staring blankly at Sikong Jing, unable to follow his thoughts.
Shrugging, Sikong Jing smiled and said, "As long as you become my sister, people won’t gossip about us anymore."
Since Gongyang Ying had shown great courage to stand against Xingluo Academy and Ling Feiyan, and now that the problem of Ren Dongmeng’s death had been resolved and she wouldn’t be implicated, it was time to accept this comrade.
After all, back in the War Soul Dynasty, people were really bullied terribly.
And because she had been kidnapped by him, she was often the subject of gossip. Now that she had offended people again, it was only fair to take her under his wing.
Gongyang Ying still couldn’t react, staring foolishly at Sikong Jing, becoming his sister?
Previously, we were enemies, weren’t we? You made me suffer so much, and now you say I should become your sister? Is there such a good deal?
However, not knowing which nerve was misfiring, Gongyang Ying asked, "How old are you?"
"Twenty!" Sikong Jing answered casually.
The next moment, Gongyang Ying blinked and asked again, "I’m also twenty. Which month were you born in?"
This time it was Sikong Jing’s turn to be dumbfounded, having forgotten his own age.
He realized he might still be too young.
If he were younger than Gongyang Ying, wouldn’t that mean he’d have to call her sister? Although Sikong Jing was broad-minded, such a thing was absolutely impossible.
Thinking of this, Sikong Jing’s face turned slightly awkward.
Suddenly, Gongyang Ying was no longer confused and broke into laughter.
She completely forgot past grievances, thinking that becoming Sikong Jing’s elder sister would be so delightful, she immediately pressed on, demanding, "Quickly, tell me, which month were you born in?"
Sikong Jing twitched his mouth, then answered with a serious face, "I’ve thought of it; even if we become sworn siblings, people might gossip. How about this? You can take me as your master...then there’ll be nothing to fear."
With the constraints of seniority, naturally, there’d be nothing to fear; in this world, seniority is taken very seriously.
Upon hearing this, Gongyang Ying’s expression stiffened again, glaring at him fiercely and replied, "Keep dreaming..."
Her eyes suddenly narrowed, smiling like crescent moons, "I’m not afraid of being misunderstood; after all, unlike you, I don’t have a family."
Suddenly, Sikong Jing was completely speechless. What nonsense was he just rambling on about becoming sworn siblings?
Also, aren’t you, the dignified Miss Gongyang, supposed to be reserved? How could you not care about your reputation?
Now acting all crazy, what’s the matter with you?
Seeing Gongyang Ying about to continue pressing, Sikong Jing suddenly said, "Mr. Hua, let’s go drink."
After speaking, he turned and slipped away...
"Sikong Jing, don’t run, hurry and come back to swear an oath!"
Gongyang Ying shouted behind him, though, of course, she didn’t pursue.
At this moment, she was like a glorious flower, or a bright moon. The shadows that had loomed over her after being bullied by Sikong Jing, the grievances suffered at the banquet earlier — all vanished into thin air.
Suddenly, the True Qi within her surged endlessly, and inexplicably, she broke through, reaching the extraordinary fifth realm.
"Gongyang Ying, you bitch, how dare you become sworn siblings with Sikong Jing."
Next moment, Ling Feiyan’s furious voice resounded.
Just earlier, Gongyang Ying’s bright laughter had made her very uncomfortable and irritated. The conversation between Gongyang Ying and Sikong Jing was like a slap to her face, so Ling Feiyan couldn’t hold back from wanting to teach her a lesson.
Saying this, the aura of Dao Inquiry Realm pressed towards Gongyang Ying...
Just as Gongyang Ying’s expression slightly changed, a loud clang exploded.
A sword light fell in front of Gongyang Ying, firmly blocking Ling Feiyan, the sword light was extremely sharp and terrifying to the limit.
Ling Feiyan instinctively froze in her steps, looking furiously at the owner of the sword, her pupils shrinking, "Chou Zhan, what are you doing?"
The one who drew the sword was Chou Zhan.
Chou Zhan slowly raised his eyelids, speaking coldly, "One more step, and you’ll die!"
He didn’t explain why he was helping Gongyang Ying, just that one more step meant death, murderous intent abounding.
In an instant, Shang Fu and others rushed over, staring intently at Chou Zhan.
Yet he stood there coldly, the sword before Gongyang Ying emanating bursts of Sword Qi, causing Shang Fu and the others to tremble slightly.
However, this confrontation obviously wouldn’t come to a result, as Elder Mo and others voiced a stop.
After calming down, Gongyang Ying looked blankly at Chou Zhan, asking in a low voice, "Brother Chou, why are you helping me?"
"Because of Brother Sikong!"
Chou Zhan responded lightly with five words, then said nothing more.
Gongyang Ying was even more confused, though her heart was filled with shock. Even someone as capable as Chou Zhan had been conquered by Sikong Jing?
Sure, Sikong Jing had cured Chou Zhan of poison, but the latter had offered enough compensation!
Why would Chou Zhan still do this?
But the next moment, Gongyang Ying gradually became excited.
In the battle for spots in the East Plain Four Regions, she was already impressed with the marks left by Sikong Jing and Chou Zhan, and the three of them were bound to fight side by side.
Clenching her fists tightly, Gongyang Ying’s radiant face was filled with anticipation.
In the Domineering Commerce, through rounds of battles, the final ranking of the East Plain Northern Land’s Thousand Tyrant List was finally out.
Sikong Jing was unsurprisingly still ninth, and Gongyang Ying ranked twelfth, such a reversal was something to be watched.
The crowd remembered Hua Meixi’s words, having great expectations for her.
Then, Elder Mo announced that everyone should rest another night in Zhanwu City, gathering early the next morning to set off.
Their destination would be the center of the East Plain Four Regions, which was also the center of the Minglong Mountain Range, the East Plain Minglong Village!
In a luxurious hotel within Zhanwu City, Ling Feiyan angrily shouted, "That little bitch Gongyang Ying, after clinging to both Sikong Jing and Chou Zhan, she dares to act arrogantly with me, I must kill her."
Hearing this, Shang Fu and others fell silent, Sikong Jing and Chou Zhan were both too formidable, they probably couldn’t stop them.
"No, we must ally with Guo Zixia and Fu Jiaoxing." Shang Fu suddenly spoke.
Then immediately took action, first finding Fu Jiaoxing.
The two quickly reached an agreement, and afterward, they went together to find Guo Zixia, proposing an alliance.
Guo Zixia pondered, looking at the two, and slowly began, "I don’t need an alliance, you two can leave now!"
He refused, leaving Fu Jiaoxing and Shang Fu in disbelief, finally having no choice but to leave in frustration.
Junior Sister Lan asked, "Senior Brother Guo, forming an alliance with Fu Jiaoxing and Shang Fu is quite good, why did you refuse?"
