Chapter 57

In the classroom, those who were watching the commotion, along with a few classmates from Zhuming's dormitory, all had their mouths agape, their jaws hanging open for a long time without closing!

He took the initiative to challenge all of Li Yunzi's admirers, and not only that, he didn't fight them one by one but wanted to fight a group at once!!

Even the most aggressive and warlike dragon trainers in the academy wouldn't dare to do such a thing!

There were at least twenty to thirty people around Zhuming, and they were basically all dragon trainers with real dragons.

One person summoning one dragon would mean twenty to thirty dragons!

"Are... are you out of your mind!" a tall, slender student with a tied-up hairstyle said.

"I said, her fame, I will guard alone. I don't need your group of hypocritical and ridiculous supporters. Besides, I have a small heart and don't like you claiming to be admirers of my lady. I will be jealous. Sign your names on the joint battle letter, and if you lose, disband and scram right here!" Zhuming's tone didn't waver at all, as if he had been suppressing these brain-dead people for a long time!

"You... you... you!!" The admirers were so angry that they stuttered.

"When my lady was in trouble and being criticized, you were silent like cowardly dogs. Now that she has returned to the sacred altar, you come out to defend her with your words. Humph, what a bunch of scoundrels. Either sign the battle letter and fight me, or shut up and get out of my sight." Zhuming said again.

Trying to reason with them was pointless; they wouldn't listen.

"Also, if any of you students in the future find me, Zhuming, disagreeable or covet my lady, don't go through any formal procedures. Just sign your names on the battle letter, and once there are twenty, I'll take care of all of you at once."

"You... you... you!!" The eyes of the handsome young man, Yin Yaozu, were already filled with killing intent.

A commoner from a backward region, no one would care if he died.

Moreover, if he, Yin Yaozu, killed this disgusting vagrant who had been talked about for months, it would be a great pleasure for the entire Zulong City!

"Go ahead, draft the battle letter, and prepare a few more for me. There are probably many people like you in the entire Zulong City, and I will take care of all of you at once." Zhuming said.

The academy allows students to issue battle letters.

The battle letters must be filed with the academy, and teachers are usually dispatched to supervise to prevent any unnecessary accidents.

After dismissing the group of Li Yunzi's supporters, Zhuming sat calmly in the classroom and continued to finish the important monthly class.

This class would discuss the forest dragons in the Lichuan Forest, and Zhuming didn't want to miss it at all because he still hadn't figured out what kind of dragon the little hatchling he saved was.

As its body gradually recovered, it seemed to have significant differences from traditional dragons. At least its skin, unlike ordinary dragon skin, was more like smooth birch bark.

...

After drafting the battle letter, a battle field for the dragon fight needed to be selected. Although the Dragon Training Academy was built on this lake island, there were vast lands around Fengdi Town and the Lichuan Waterfall, including large orchards, medicinal gardens, pastures, and dragon battle fields.

Just as Zhuming left the classroom, the battle letter was delivered to him. They chose the river battlefield, which Zhuming had never been to.

The time was set for the afternoon, and Zhuming wasn't in a hurry. After enjoying a delicious lunch, he slowly walked upstream to the Lichuan Plain.

Passing through a grove of river willows, the dry branches looked particularly desolate in winter, but the grass, covered with frost, had sprouted some winter wildflowers, adding a touch of color to the dry willow grove.

After noon, the overcast sky had a hint of weak sunlight, but it was blocked by thick winter clouds, which were edged with a silvery gray luster, unable to brighten the vast river plain.

Just as he was about to pass through the willow grove, a woman with a paper umbrella on her shoulder appeared in Zhuming's line of sight. She had a graceful figure and elegant attire, exuding a charm like a beauty in a painting.

Zhuming slowly walked past the woman, whose side profile was flawless, but he pretended not to see her.

Li Yunzi wouldn't dress like this, with a poetic and picturesque aura... She would be stunningly beautiful if she did.

"Love at first sight, mutual affection?" the woman said, her soft voice speaking in a dignified tone.

Zhuming feigned surprise, bowing politely like a gentleman, and said, "Miss Nan Lingsha."

"Did I say I was Nan Lingsha?" the woman slowly turned around, her beautiful smile carrying a natural charm.

"What a coincidence, Miss Nan is enjoying the winter here. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll go ahead." Zhuming pretended not to hear and quickly walked forward.

"Stop." the woman said.

"Oh, Miss Nan Lingsha, we aren't very familiar. In this remote and desolate place, it would be improper for a man and a woman to be alone together. I, Zhuming, am already embroiled in rumors." Zhuming hurriedly said.

Run fast.

Zhuming quickened his pace.

Since Li Yunzi said she wouldn't appear at the academy, this person could only be Nan Lingsha.

She must have already learned about what he said in the classroom, which was clearly different from what he told her in the library.

"What did Li Yunzi tell you?" the woman coldly demanded.

Zhuming didn't respond.

"Did she tell you to be wary of me?" the woman asked again.

"No, but Miss, think about it. Most people can't tell you apart from your sister. There are many people on this road, and if they see us talking here, it will stir up all sorts of misunderstandings. Things are already complicated, and I just want to avoid unnecessary trouble." Zhuming explained.

"Isn't that better?" the woman laughed.

"How is it better?"

"It's you who told everyone that we are mutually affectionate. So, my appearing here to show concern for your well-being is perfectly normal, isn't it?" the woman's smile grew brighter.

"Miss, I have no connection with you at all!" Zhuming shouted.

"Others don't see it that way. I'm tired of wearing a veil all the time. It's a good time to breathe some fresh air. Come on, Master Zhuming, I'll accompany you to your battlefield." The woman reached out and tied her willow-like black hair into a bun.

This act left Zhuming speechless.

She was going to pretend to be Li Yunzi!

In fact, after tying her hair, her aura was identical to Li Yunzi's, not to mention their appearance.

The same brilliant eyes, the same stunning beauty, Zhuming involuntarily took a few steps back, afraid that a few more glances would make him unable to tell them apart!
