Chapter 110
Chenzhu’s words slightly shocked Chu Ye .
One should know that the Boling clan was known as the most powerful clan in the Eastern Nation . Their power naturally stemmed from the wizards in the clan . Although there were also warriors in the clan, they were few in number .
Moreover, Boling Feidie was Boling Canglan’s own daughter, a direct descendant in the Boling clan line . And yet she didn’t learn magic but warrior qi, which was even more puzzling .
But that wasn’t the main point right now .
After releasing a soft “oh” of realization, Chu Ye asked, “What grade?”
Chenzhu’s expression grew more grim . After a pause, he replied, “Eighth-grade warrior!”
“Heavens…” Shocked, Lulu couldn’t help but exclaim, “Second Miss is too awesome!”
Aya’s face twisted into a slight frown, and he let out a sigh . “Eighth-grade warrior… Lulu and I together wouldn’t last against her…” for more than three moves .
Of course, he didn’t say the last five words out loud . He was afraid it would affect everyone’s morale pre-battle .
Furthermore, aside from Boling Ming and Boling Feidie, their team still had a young man who was a sixth-grade wizard .
But Chu Ye, who knew a ninth-grade warrior like Huan Cheng, was fully aware of how strong an eighth-grade warrior was in combat . Even if Boling Feidie were to go up against Chenzhu, a ninth-grade wizard, Chenzhu’s victory still wouldn’t be certain .
After weighing the pros and cons of the overall situation, Chu Ye promptly explained the battle plan, “Chenzhu, you will fight Boling Ming . But be cautious of him during the fight . That guy’s ability to see through things with one glance isn’t good . Be careful of his tricks and schemes . ” She then turned to the other two, saying, “Aya, Lulu, you will attack Boling Feiwu together . Remember, employ harrassment tactics against her for as long as you can . Don’t directly confront her with force so that you won’t get hurt . If you can’t persist any longer, just jump down the platform . As for Boling Feidie and that young man, leave them to me!”
Chenzhu said, “No . How can one person handle two people at the same time? And Boling Feidie’s an eighth-grade warrior too—”
Chu Ye said, “Chenzhu, you just said that you’ll listen to what I say . It’s settled now . Because if we follow this plan, we have an actual chance to win . ”
Aya and Lulu were too weak . In the first place, they only joined to meet the required number of team members in Chenzhu’s team . To truly hope that they could defeat their opponents was basically forcing these two children to their deaths .
Meanwhile, Boling Ming’s team was also working out a battle plan .
With her identity as the eldest miss, Boling Feiwu utilized her seniority as the eldest sister and ordered, “Second Sister, you fight that bastard child Chenzhu . With your strength as an eighth-grade warrior, you can definitely defeat him . Better yet, you should take advantage of this opportunity to beat him until he becomes crippled . That way, he can no longer compete with us for anything . ” The entire time, her features were filled with cruelty .
Boling Feidie frowned upon hearing this . In a somewhat cold voice, she said, “Eldest Sister, I’m willing to help you this time because of my mother’s personal request . But don’t think that I’ll help you assault people . And although Chenzhu isn’t our blood-related brother, we still watched him grow up . Don’t say the words ‘bastard child’ either . If someone hears you, people will say that our mother hasn’t taught you well, and our mother’s reputation will be tarnished . ”
All of a sudden, Boling Feiwu scowled in anger . “Second Sister, you… Why are you speaking for an outsider? I’m your elder sister!” The start of the finals was drawing near . It wasn’t good to be too severe with her words, so she had no choice but to pull out the elder sister card .
Unfortunately, Boling Feidie wasn’t having any of it . Unyielding, she raised her head, looked straight into Boling Feiwu’s eyes, and coldly said, “So you still remember that you’re my elder sister, hmm . Back then, you incited Father to marry me to a severely ill man who already had one foot in the grave to usher in good luck . You made me a grass widow from the age of eighteen all the way until now . At that time, did you ever remember that I’m your sister?!”
(T/N: Usher in good luck – a superstition wherein the family will let a severely ill relative marry someone and use this happy event to flush out the bad luck surrounding that ill person . This will then supposedly allow him to finally recover .
Grass widow – legally married but hasn’t experienced the married life (e . g . sex) ; here, the husband died soon after they married . )
“I had nothing to do with that matter . It was only after you entered the marriage sedan that I discovered that the groom’s family arranged this marriage to usher in good luck…” said Boling Feiwu, eyes slightly shifty . She was naturally most clear on the truth behind that matter .
Seeing her younger sister get a better marriage partner while she could only stay at the residence as an old maiden was not something she was willing to accept .
At the same time, she also felt envious .
Which eventually turned into hate .
Since she couldn’t have an easy time, no one else should think they’d have one either .
As a result, the first target of her schemes was her dearest sister, Boling Feidie .
Boling Feidie snorted . “You know your own thoughts best . The heavens are watching the actions of the people from above . Retribution will be served . ”
This made Boling Feiwu want to break into an angry fit .
By their side, Boling Ming couldn’t bear to watch them any longer and hurriedly intervened . “These two great aunts, what time is it now? And yet you’re still reviving old quarrels . Please put off whatever you’re talking about until the end of this competition, alright?”
Hearing this, the two women hmph-ed and turned away from one another . They didn’t make another sound .
Boling Ming turned to Boling Feidie and said, “Sister Feidie, the competition is about to start . We should all work together . We shouldn’t fight amongst ourselves . ”
Boling Feidie shot him a cold glance . “Don’t worry . Since I promised my mother that I will help you, I definitely won’t go back on my word just before the start of the battle like a villain . But if you want me to hurt other people, don’t even think about it any further!”
“Good . You better remember what you just said . ” Boling Feiwu was forced to settle for the second best thing . She was afraid that Boling Feidie would throw the fight midway . At that time, she would have no place to complain and could only suffer in silence . Afterward, she also shifted her gaze toward Chenzhu . “Brother Ming, you and I will deal with Chu Ye together . We must give her a good showing today . ”
If she were to go against Chu Ye alone, she would get a bit of… stage fright .
“Okay!” Boling Ming’s face is filled with excitement . He clearly had some devious thoughts .
At this time, Boling Feiwu also didn’t feel like cursing at him . Instead, she patted the young man beside her . “Although you’re the weakest among us, you’re still a sixth-grade wizard . I’ll hand those two warrior small fries to you . Remember to properly teach them a lesson . It’ll be better if you beat them until they can’t even recognize their mothers . To have the impertinence to help those two bastards without expecting them to pay the price, I won’t be able to breathe easy if I just let them go . ”
“Yes!” The young man nodded in agreement .
However, his mouth held a trace of an annoyed sneer . She called him the weakest . But did she forget that she herself was also a sixth-grade wizard? How laughable .
After making their battle plans, it turned out to be the complete opposite of Chu Ye’s .
Their discussion seemed complicated, but in reality, it only lasted for a minute or two .
On Chu Ye’s side, Chenzhu was unable to get Chu Ye to change their battle plans and was thus forced to comply . With a low shout, he took the initiative in charging toward Boling Ming .
Right now, he only wanted to defeat Boling Ming as quick as possible, then go help Chu Ye .
Boling Ming entangled with Chenzhu . But Boling Feiwu wanted to drag Boling Ming with her so that they could fight together against Chu Ye, just as they had planned . Flustered and exasperated, she turned to Boling Feidie and ordered, “Hurry, we already agreed that Chenzhu will be your opponent . ”
Boling Feidie shot her a cold glance . She didn’t say anything in response before slowly striding toward Chenzhu .
Out of anger, Boling Feiwu stomped her feet .
But she didn’t dare scold .
She knew that her second sister had experienced much anger during these past years as a grass widow, which caused her temperament to undergo huge changes . She became cold and detached . She even disregarded her father . In the entire Boling clan, the only person she would listen to was her mother .
Boling Feiwu was afraid to pressure her too much, so she just flung her sleeve and left . The gains wouldn’t make up for the losses .
But the situation once again deviated from her expectations . With a cold flash of light Chu Ye unsheathed her sword, which she pointed toward the ground . She cast Boling Feidie a sidelong glance before curling her lips in a smile . “Second Sister, why don’t we measure ourselves against each other?”
Boling Feidie stopped in her tracks, brought to a slight stupor . She met Chu Ye’s gaze and with a trace of curiosity, said, “You’re really Seventh Sister? You’ve changed a lot in the six years I haven’t seen you . ”
“I could say the same for you . You aren’t the same as the Second Sister from six years ago,” replied Chu Ye in a calm manner .
This exchange of two sentences evoked boundless sorrow in Boling Feidie . Right, six years had passed . The issue was in the past, and the situation had changed . Even if some things hadn’t changed, the people had . So so many things… really had changed . With a soft sigh, she said, “Ok, then let me see how much Seventh Sister has grown over the past six years . ”
As she spoke, she kicked her left foot backward, her toes pushing the sword on her back up into the air . As her sword fell, it perfectly fell into her hands .
This made Boling Feiwu seethe with even greater rage . She yelled, “Boling Feidie, you’re crazy . How could you not act according to our plan? You promised me you—”
Unfortunately, Boling Feidie simply dismissed her as a mad dog that kept on barking and howling . She didn’t even bother to turn around and face her . She unsheathed a beautiful sword, the action accompanied by the sharp swish of the sliding of metal . With raised eyebrows and a smile, she said, “Seventh Sister, let’s begin!”
“Alright!” Chu Ye returned the smile . This second sister was actually to her liking . She didn’t find her very annoying . Thus, she winked at her and said, “Wait, give me ten more seconds!”
Boling Feidie was once again slightly stunned . Then she nodded and said, “Sure!”
“Thanks!” Chu Ye flashed her a grateful smile .
Afterward, she lightly closed her eyes in her red robes . Although there wasn’t any wind, her long hair began to flutter in the air . Under everyone’s shocked gazes, her shiny silver hair slowly turned a deep brown, inch by inch .
When she reopened her eyes, a brown glint flashed . Her originally silver eyes had also changed into the complementary brown color . They seemed serene, but their depths were filled with mystery, capable of chilling people to their bones .
At that very moment, shock befell everyone on their seats .
Heavens, was there a problem with their eyes?
To be able to shift between two magic systems, Chu Ye should possess a wind-earth immortal body .
Boling Canglan’s eyes uncontrollably dilated . Then the smile on his face deepened . How many surprises did this seventh daughter of his still have in her sleeves?
Meanwhile, Murong Chang had already turned as white as a sheet . A freezing chill washed over her from head to toe and seeped into her bones . It was as though she had been thrown into a chilled storage room .
Even the advantage of possessing a wind-fire immortal body had completely vanished in front of Chu Ye .
For the first time, Murong Chang cannot help but admit that the gap between her and Chu Ye was only growing wider and wider over time .
But at the same time, it strengthened her determination to eliminate Chu Ye .
With staunch eyes, she fixed her attention onto the high-spirited woman on the challenge ring, fingers wrung together . She must think of a surefire scheme .
