My Master Is a Great Dragon, Clinging to Me Every Day! - Chapter 20
“What are you two doing here, making fools of yourselves?”
A dignified male voice sounded from behind them, frightening the two so badly they trembled several times. They looked even more like drenched chickens now.
“Eldest Senior Brother, it was Xu Zhiyi who attacked us first! We didn’t do anything…!”
“Right, we didn’t do anything.”
Although the two said this, their tone clearly lacked confidence. They cowered and did not dare raise their heads.
So this person was the eldest senior brother of Blazing Flame Peak?
His hair was slightly red, and his whole body carried a scorching aura. The emblem hanging in front of his chest was shaped like blazing fire. His two eyebrows grew wildly, and there was a fierce, murderous air between his brows.
“Oh, it’s you, Xu Zhiyi. Why didn’t Fengyue come? Why are they sending a useless waste like you onto the arena?”
“If I fought you, I would have to give you two moves first just to count as giving you face. Who told you to be Fengyue’s senior sister?”
He held a sword in his arms. It was decorated with seven red gemstones and looked incomparably luxurious.
His tone was full of contempt.
Xu Zhiyi sized him up. This person should be the second male lead from the original novel, Hua Yizhi.
His temper was just like his attribute, extremely fiery. In the Yunling Sword Sect, he could also be considered one of the sect tyrants, someone no one dared provoke.
“Heh.”
Xu Zhiyi laughed contemptuously. Although the original novel had not mentioned it, as a dutiful vicious minor supporting character, her mouth should be a little foul.
Besides, doing this felt pretty satisfying.
Good manners were something a good citizen ought to have. She was not a good citizen, so she had no manners.
“You—what are you laughing at? Is this funny?”
“Xu Zhiyi, let me tell you, I will never like you. Keep dreaming!”
Hua Yizhi was clearly triggered by Xu Zhiyi’s contemptuous laugh. He immediately exploded, his brows tightly furrowed.
So Xu Zhiyi spoke calmly.
“You still have time to care about me? Don’t you like her? Then go ask her yourself. Why are you making things difficult for me here?”
The disciples who had originally been worried about being dragged into a fight between immortals hurriedly backed away. But when they heard Xu Zhiyi’s words, their steps slowed again, and their ears gradually leaned closer.
There was actually such huge gossip.
It would be a waste not to listen.
“Who… who said I like her? Don’t stand there and make things up! Stop spouting nonsense!”
That was exactly the line she had been waiting for.
Xu Zhiyi walked closer, arms crossed over her chest. She was neither anxious nor angry, clearly not taking Hua Yizhi’s earlier provocation to heart.
“Then you shouldn’t spout nonsense either. When have I ever liked you?”
“My heart is devoted solely to the Dao. I only know how to respect my master and cherish the young. If I am to love and respect anyone, it is my master. If I am to like anyone, it is also my master.”
“What does that have to do with you?”
Perfect. She could remove herself from the stinking mess of the protagonists’ messy love polygon. Xu Zhiyi was happy to be free and relaxed.
Right now, her goal was to study hard. When the protagonists came, she would beat one if one came, beat a pair if two came.
She feared no one.
Gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah!
“You… Xu Zhiyi, you really are interesting. I know. You’re doing this just to attract my attention.”
“Don’t think that just because Lord Hanshan cherishes you, I won’t dare do anything to you!”
If there had not been so many disciples present, Hua Yizhi would have been so angry he would have drawn his sword and stabbed forward. He wished he could cut off Xu Zhiyi’s fox tail, which was practically raised to the heavens.
Since when had this woman become so sharp-tongued? Could it be that after being rejected by him, she had become heartbroken, then turned love into hatred?
She really was a crazy woman.
“Then what can be done? My master really does dote on me. No way—does your master not dote on you?”
“Aiya, how pitiful.”
At a time like this, one had to use the other person’s methods against them. This brat Hua Yizhi wanted to poke at her sore spot, but he did not even think about what kind of situation he himself was in within the original novel.
To be fair, when Xu Zhiyi had been reading the novel, she had not felt much at all. Honestly, she felt that there was not much difference between the male lead and the second male lead.
It was just that the second male lead had the air of a nouveau riche about him. For example, the sword in Hua Yizhi’s hand right now had seven fire-red gems as bright as pigeon eggs embedded in it.
Under the sunlight, one swing of it was enough to dazzle people.
Could this sword have been specially made to blind people? Winning without even fighting—truly impressive, truly impressive.
This was what it meant for man and sword to become one.
Although the second male lead was the chief eldest disciple under Blazing Flame Peak, he was not Chi Yan-jun’s most beloved disciple either.
The two of them were six of one and half a dozen of the other. What was there to mock?
Moreover, her own master was not biased. It was purely that the original owner had been blinded by the sect’s rumors, which ultimately caused her to go berserk.
She had spouted nonsense and accused her own master.
Xu Zhiyi felt that if she could crawl back out of this book, she would definitely follow the internet cable all the way to the author’s house and give the author a five-star rating in installments.
Damn it. How could such a good master raise such an improper seedling?
Fine, although she herself was not exactly proper either, at least… she seriously listened to Master’s lessons.
After Xu Zhiyi finished speaking, she walked inside. Quite a few disciples were waiting for their names to be called. Once the inspection was complete, the arena matches could begin.
The competition on the arena had already started. Disciples who had finished inspection hurried toward the arena. As for why there were still so many people gathered here—
it was purely because they wanted to watch the show.
Like melons in a melon field.
“Xu Zhiyi!”
An elder inside called Xu Zhiyi’s name.
Hua Yizhi could only stop for now. After all, if he obstructed the elders, he would have no reason on his side.
“Here!”
Xu Zhiyi was not carrying any extra magical treasures, apart from this precious sword. For some reason, although the original owner was a sword cultivator, this sword had not been swung in a very long time. The blade had already gathered dust.
A sword cultivator who did not hold a sword.
It was truly a waste of this treasure.
Xu Zhiyi had liked this sword from the first moment she saw it. Such an awe-inspiring precious sword—if it were thrown into a Qiankun pouch and left to eat dust forever, that would be an extreme pity.
“Everything is within the rules. There is nothing improper.”
“Hurry and go compete.”
After leaving through this door, one only needed to pass through a corridor and walk straight ahead to reach the arena.
As Xu Zhiyi walked forward, she also saw someone with a pendant bearing an emblem of a green leaf and mist-wrapped mountains. That person’s figure looked somewhat frail.
But her temperament was extremely otherworldly, like a jasmine flower carefully tended by a wealthy family. Presumably, this was Xiao Ling, the eldest disciple of Fairy Wucha from Xiuyun Peak.
In other words, the second female lead of the original novel.
However, according to the current timeline, the relationships among these people were likely developing intensely. Xu Zhiyi decided to stay farther away from them so she would not get swept into this whirlpool.
Just now, she had already been entangled by that dog Hua Yizhi. If another one came, she really would not be able to withstand it.
“Xu Zhiyi, why did you come today? Why didn’t I see that He Fengyue?”
Xiao Ling held a light sword in her hand. When she looked at Xu Zhiyi, there was a trace of ruthlessness in her eyes.
This was truly a case of a leaking roof meeting an all-night rainstorm—
she was unlucky to the extreme!
