The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler

2584 Side Story 88: Rong Family

This competition started suddenly and ended even faster.

From start to end, Rong Xiu only used one move.

Jiang Ping didn’t retaliate as he failed miserably and directly fainted.

The crowd didn’t even see how Rong Xiu did it before he had already won.

Everyone had their eyes open and mouths agape. They stood rooted to their spot and could not recover their senses in a long while.

Originally, they thought that even if Rong Xiu was a true god, the fight wouldn’t be easy. After all, Jiang Ping was also a true god, and their cultivation levels were the same.

But at this point, they realized that they were wrong. It turned out that some people could have a heaven and earth difference even when they were at the same level, easily defeating their opponent.

Shangguan Yue saw Rong Xiu take action before and knew that he did not show off his skills. But when she saw this scene, she was shocked for a very long time.

She was extremely talented. Especially after she went through the bitter torture at Red Moon Desert, she could beat most of the people her age.

However, Rong Xiu was clearly stronger than her!

She faintly felt competitive. Hence, she walked forward, her pair of starry eyes dazzling. “Rong Xiu, will you fight with me?”

Even though they had known each other for a while, they had not truly dealt hands. Her heart was itchy, and she was tempted to try.

The silence in Qing Ming Square was broken. Everyone looked at Shangguan Yue in disbelief and thought that she was crazy.

Jiang Ping, who was a true god, was beaten till he was half-dead with one move. How could a mere peak stage-nine warrior like her have the guts to challenge Rong Xiu?

Rong Xiu turned around and guessed her thoughts when he saw her expression. He smiled. “Okay.”

He agreed relaxingly, and Shangguan Yue was happy.

She thought for a while before saying, “With my current cultivation level, I definitely can’t compete against you if I directly fight with you. I should find some people to train with…”

As she spoke, her gaze turned toward Dong Huang Clock Tower.

The black wall was empty, but she had already heard that the Qing Yun Ranking was carved there.

That was the ability ranking of all the students in Ling Xiao Academy. It was split into four rankings.

The top hundred students of every cultivation aspect could go on the ranking.

She stroked her chin. “I wonder who is a demigod on the warrior ranking…”

She planned to challenge a demigod first to test the waters. This way, she could have some understanding when she fought Rong Xiu.

Hearing her words, Rong Xiu’s gaze flickered slightly, and his expression became lighter.

However, he had always been calm and composed, and he didn’t show his emotions on his face. Such a slight change was indeed hard to detect.

“You want to look at the Qing Yun Ranking?” A low and melodious voice sounded.

Shangguan Yue was suddenly alert as she turned around strangely. At some point, with a slightly raised chin and a focused gaze, Rong Xiu had reached behind her.

She nodded and smiled straightforwardly. “I have to be prepared if I want to beat you.”

Rong Xiu didn’t speak as he overtook her and walked to the front.

He came below the Dong Huang Clock Tower.

The crowd’s gazes gathered.

Jiang Ping was already carried away.

Logically speaking, the crowd should’ve dispersed when the match ended. But seeing Rong Xiu’s actions, nobody left.

Someone faintly guessed something, and they looked emotional, yet they did not dare to discuss loudly.

Rong Xiu was a newcomer, but he was very strong and had a distinguished and imperious aura, which was carved in his bones. One did not dare to underestimate him.

After Rong Xiu stood still, he turned around and said to Shangguan Yue, “Come and try.”

Shangguan Yue guessed that he was targeting the Qing Yun Ranking, but she did not expect him to call her and was shocked. “Me?”

While she asked, she had already walked over.

She stood beside Rong Xiu and quickly thought for a moment before she placed her hand on it.

Anyway, she had to test sooner or later.

She held her breath in, split out some force, and inserted it into her palm.

Whir!

With the whir, the black wall before her had many rays of crystallized light! Following that, those light rays quickly formed names that were ranked.

After a moment, the name at the bottom silently disappeared, and a new name formed—Rong Yue!

Shangguan Yue saw that name, blinked lightly, and retracted her hand.

Rong Xiu knew that she did not try her best but did not mind it either.

He reached out too.

Bzzt! Bzzt!

An extremely strong aura suddenly exploded from his palms!

The crowd was shocked as they saw the name in fourth place—Jiang Ping—get silently crushed and replaced by Rong Xiu’s name.

He had beaten Jiang Ping in Qing Ming Square, so he naturally could replace his ranking on the Qing Yun Ranking.

However, it wasn’t finished.

The crowd watched as the name continued to break through and surpass the three names in front, sitting in the top spot securely.

On the bright and dazzling Qing Yun Ranking, the new name that appeared swept to first place in such a strong manner, on its first time on the ranking.

Rong Xiu didn’t care about the others’ gazes as he looked at the young girl beside him.

She stared at the top spot with a fiery gaze.

He laughed lightly, and there seemed to be a hint of temptation in his cold and low voice. “Is fighting with other people better than fighting with me?”

Absolutely not!

Everyone was cultivators. Shangguan Yue naturally knew that she would benefit much more if she went against someone strong.

In the entire Ling Xiao Academy, nobody was more suitable than Rong Xiu.

She quickly made up her mind. “I’ll only fight with you!”

One day, I can beat him!

Rong Xiu nodded in satisfaction. Then, his gaze landed at ‘Rong Yue’ at the bottom.

Thinking of those people’s misunderstanding, he suddenly looked up at the roof of Dong Huang Clock Tower.

“Director.” He said calmly, “She doesn’t have this last name. Please help her.”

Even though he was a distance away, how could the director not hear him? However… his request was too strange.

When the crowd was in confusion, they saw the name on the Qing Yun Ranking change.

The ‘Rong’ silently disappeared, and only ‘Yue’ was left behind.

Since it was fake, erasing it was normal.

However, everyone waited for a long time and didn’t see the director add in Shangguan Yue’s last name.

Such a special right was clearly only for the director’s disciple.

Shangguan Yue tilted her head and looked at Rong Xiu. She smiled and asked, “You don’t like me sharing your last name?”

Rong Xiu paused, and there seemed to be ripples in the depths of his phoenix-like eyes.

As the corner of his lips curled up slightly, he slowly spoke with a relaxed tone. “If you want to join the Rong family, another identity is more suitable.”
