With subconscious raised eyebrows, amid the sympathetic gaze of his buddies and the gloating from others, Jing Youlan stepped forward.
However, the next moment, before the gloating crowd could curve their lips into a smirk…
“Xue Jianbing, step forward!” The instructor’s chilling voice called once more, instantly freezing those curved lips in place, rigid and unmovable.
With a soft, cold snort, Xue Jianbing now understood the instructor’s earlier words about having a good fight.
Good, he had long intended to have a real fight with Jing Youlan anyway. It was also an opportunity to show Mu Lin who was stronger between himself and Jing Youlan – giving her a chance to reconsider which side she should be on.
“You all have taken free combat classes, haven’t you.” Ling Qi asked knowingly.
“Yes, Instructor.” The two men responded in unison. They looked at each other, the sparks in their eyes only understandable to each other.
The Jing and Xue families mostly had military backgrounds. Starting from the generation of old man Jing, the two families always had an antagonistic relationship – where they felt uneasy if they didn’t squabble when meeting each other. By the generation of Jing Chen, both families produced outstanding offspring, with Jing Chen slightly superior. From then on, the animosity between the two families intensified – even though the Jing family didn’t care for the rivalry, their inherent excellence was unavoidable. Xue Jianbing, being the second-best in his generation of the Xue family, has had a difficult relationship with Jing Youlan since their student years.
But, significantly, Jing Youlan had a very different personality from Jing Chen. His nonchalant attitude towards Xue Jianbing’s provocations made Jing Youlan extremely hateful to him.
In Xue Jianbing’s heart, his elder brother was akin to a god, and he had always looked up to him. However, his god-like brother ended up losing to Jing Chen. He was well aware of Jing Chen’s excellence and knew he could not surpass him, but he could compete with Jing Youlan. Regardless of the situation, Xue Jianbing and Jing Youlan were inevitably at odds.
Their relationship could only be described in four words.
They simply… loathed each other!
…
Sharp eyes swept over the two’s faces as Ling Qi’s lips suddenly curved into a smile, “It seems like you both can’t wait, huh?”
Oddly enough, in Ling Qi at this moment, they somehow recognized the familiar air of their elder cousin.
They almost forgot, the person standing before them was from the same training batch as their elder cousin – and he was just as fierce, if not more so, than the man they revered.
Subconsciously, they wanted to shake their heads.
“Reporting to Instructor, we are not in a rush.” Once again, they spoke in unison. Steely faced, they raised their chins in all seriousness.
“It seems that way, indeed.” Unfortunately, Ling Qi seemed to have not heard their words. With a playful smile, his eyes swept over their solemn faces, “In that case, I’ll indulge you both. Showcase everything that you’ve been trained in.”
See, he was so… empathetic and considerate of their desires.
Indeed… commendable.
