C51 Part1

Translated by An Edited by An

From afar, Yang QiQi spotted a brown-haired boy waiting outside the closed door of the arena. As soon as she saw him, she felt like she was going to have a headache.

From the time of the life-or-death battle, these three young males have officially become her nominal Guardian Beasts and had been granted the right to freely enter or leave the Saintess Hall. Since then, except for having to go back to the Nursery Hall after nine o’clock in the night, they have been hovering around her all the time. Every day at daybreak, this Tu Jin would stand guard at the door of this small arena, waiting for her to arrive. Xiang BuChen would also appear behind her as soon as she arrived there…

Yang QiQi turned her head, and as expected, she saw the young male’s tall figure walking behind her. He neither walked too fast nor too slow.

She sighed. She knew that at this moment, Ling Yue must be busy preparing breakfast in the large kitchen of her house…

‘Their division of labor was so clear ah, wasn’t it?! Damn! One waited at the destination, one infiltrated the starting point, and another followed her from the beginning to the end ah! In any case, this Sister won’t run away, so there’s no need to keep such a close eye on her, right?!’

“QiQi! You are here!” The moment the young saw her figure, he immediately jumped up and waved his hand with a wide, almost ear-reaching smile, pasted on his face.

She didn’t know since when, but these three males had quietly and conveniently omitted the word ‘Lady’ before saying her name. Although she felt that calling her just by her name was too intimate, she herself didn’t like people going on with ‘Lady QiQi this’ and ‘Lady QiQi that’ around her all day long. She had no choice but to abide by the local customs and rules when interacting with outsiders. However, it was a bit too troublesome to maintain those rules when it came to people whom she was regularly in contact with, throughout the day. After thinking about it, she decided to let it go. She didn’t want to maintain these troublesome titles among friends.

“Good Morning, Tu Jin.” Yang QiQi also waved at him with a smile. After this, she put away her smiling expression and turned to face the male following her: “Good Morning, Xiang BuChen.”

‘This Sister has always been magnanimous.’ These days, although this weird Xiang BuChen still did not talk very much, his overall performance could be calculated as normal. He did not stare at her with that obnoxious gaze nor did he suddenly grab her hand without letting it go. In any case, he was also her companion now. She decided to be generous and put aside her misgivings to greet him.

Xiang BuChen didn’t expect that Yang QiQi, who hadn’t paid attention to him for more than ten days, would take the initiative to greet him today. His footsteps turned sluggish and his calm but profound eyes stared at her for a while before the corner of his lips curled up in an evil smile.

‘Did he go crazy ah?!’

Yang QiQi rolled her eyes inwardly, deciding to ignore his antics.

She took Zheng Shou’s hand and walked towards the door. She stood right in front of a black crystal screen that was attached to the doorpost. A red light shot out from the black crystal screen which scanned her whole face, from forehead to chin. A mechanical voice eventually sounded: “Identity confirmed. Completely enclosed arena, r003, is open for use now.”

As the two heavy doors on both sides slid open, the dark interior instantly became brightly lit, revealing the empty fighting ring and the silent seats all around it.

After the life or death battle with Lin Yu, Hall Master Mu YouZhi and the Dean of the Female Warriors’ Institution, Lady Xiang Chi, came to have a private talk with her. They told her that she must not teach her martial arts techniques to others at random. They also mentioned that her circumstances had attracted the attention of the Red-Ranked Saintess Hall and that a special envoy will be sent to protect her. ‘Did my actions alarm even the Red-Ranked Saintess Hall?’ It seems like she had revealed her techniques a bit too much from the fact that they even sent someone to guard her. It was only at that moment did she realize how much importance the Empire had attached to the martial skills she had displayed in the life or death battle.

Regardless of the purpose and reason, one has to admit that the Saintess Hall of the Han City had been nothing but absolutely generous to Yang QiQi. This small closed arena was set up for her exclusive use. Hence, unless she herself brought someone inside, even Mu YouZhi himself would not be able to enter.

Yang QiQi and Zheng Shou entered first. They were followed by a delighted Tu Jin. Xiang BuChen was at the end of the group, and as soon as he entered, the doors shut immediately.
