Chapter 242: The Last Person

Situ Xingchen hesitantly said, “It can’t be… She even activated a fourth-level black Xuan formation crystal… She shouldn’t be too bad if she showed up for the competition.”

Cheng Han thought otherwise. “All your attention is on cultivating as a heavenly doctor, so you naturally don’t know the tricks of Xuan Masters. Even though her black Xuan formation crystal contains a fourth-level Xuan formation, one does not have to be a stage-four Xuan Master to activate it.”

“You need to understand that those things are made to be easily activated during battles. It isn’t that hard to activate them! That Chu Liuyue is just a stage-two Xuan Master; she only managed to become the top warrior because she used unorthodox means!”

Cheng Han was referring to Chu Liuyue’s blood ferret when he said ‘unorthodox means.’

After an entire day of pondering, Cheng Han still could not figure out why that blood ferret could consume Heng Jingchuo’s force whole.

Something was off! To him, Chu Liuyue did not come in first because of her own ability! Therefore, he still despised Chu Liuyue.

“There were too many variables in the one-on-one competition yesterday. But the Xuan Master competition is different. One’s ability is clear for all to see!”

Situ Xingchen nodded. From her point of view, she agreed with Cheng Han’s opinion.

But Tian Lu Academy’s reaction doesn’t seem right. Did something really happen to Chu Liuyue? Situ Xingchen curiously stared for a while, but it was difficult for her to ask about it in public.

Then again…

Something else bothered her. After the competition ended yesterday, she sent someone to get information on Prince Li Mansion. However, the mansion was heavily guarded, so she did not manage to get any information.

She felt a little disappointed, but she knew it was normal given that person’s personality. Besides, this was the Imperial City, so she had to be extra careful.

Thankfully, there was news about Prince Li Mansion going around in the Imperial City. Hence, she managed to get some information. But she was even more surprised after she heard the rumors.

That person had barely left his mansion since he returned to the Imperial City a month ago. The only time he left his mansion was when he took part in the Crown Prince—Rong Jin’s birthday banquet.

The most important thing was that he seemed to have helped Chu Liuyue out at the banquet…

Rumors were usually exaggerated. People outside the palace usually didn’t know what was going on inside, so nobody actually knew what truly happened.

From the bottom of her heart, Situ Xingchen did not want to believe it. She treated it as idle gossip made up by people.

Based on that person’s personality, there is no way he would help her out of the blue. Even if he did help her, there has to be another reason behind his actions. After all, Chu Liuyue was still Rong Jin’s fiancée then. He would never take another look at such a woman.

This was the only way Situ Xingchen could comfort herself.

But another matter had caught her attention.

He actually went to Tian Lu Academy. On the surface, he said that it was to pay respect to his mother, but he hasn’t done that in all these years. There is probably another reason behind his sudden decision.
