People are in the magic card, instigating rebellion against the world.

Chapter 96 Tomoyo: Yoko's expression just now was so cute~ (Bonus Chapter)
As soon as the teacher left, a crowd instantly gathered around Li Meiling's desk.

For fourth-grade students, the new transfer student is undoubtedly the most exciting topic.

Not to mention that she's such a fun and lively new classmate.

Everyone gathered around curiously.

"Li Meiling, is Li Xiaolang really your fiancé?"

Why did you transfer here from Hong Kong?

The students asked questions all at once, their eyes full of curiosity.

“Of course it’s true! I transferred here specifically to find Little Wolf!” Li Meiling raised her chin and answered proudly.

While answering everyone's questions, she secretly glanced to the side.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked somewhat awkwardly, "Um... I wonder what kind of person this is?"

"You mean Ye Hui? He's also from China..." a classmate guessed.

Li Meiling shook her head and pointed to Xiaoying's location: "No, I mean her!"

"Oh, so you're talking about Sakura..."

Ye Hui listened from the side, secretly amused.

So they've started gathering intelligence?

He gently nudged Sakura beside him and teased, "Sakura, Li Meiling is asking about you. As the leader of the Sakura Thieves, you can't afford to lose."

Sakura tilted her head, looking confused: "Huh? Why is Li Meiling asking about me?"

Ye Hui suppressed a laugh: "Maybe she sees you as a rival in love?"

"Ah? That was all a misunderstanding!" Sakura was on the verge of tears and quickly waved her hands.

A smile flickered in Tomoyo's eyes as she softly explained, "Sakura, Ye-san is just joking. I guess Li Meiling is probably only paying attention to you because of the Clow Cards."

"So that's how it is!" Sakura finally breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed her tense shoulders.

Clow cards?

Ye Hui glanced at Li Xiaolang behind Zhi Shi and felt that things were probably not that simple.

The morning classes ended quickly.

At noon, Ye Hui, Xiao Ying, Zhi Shi, and other classmates sat together under a big tree by the playground, opened their lunch boxes, and enjoyed their lunch.

"Is that Li Meiling really Li Xiaolang's fiancée?" Qianchun asked curiously, biting her chopsticks.

“I think so, she said it so confidently,” Li Jia chimed in.

"But Li seems a little unhappy," Naoko said, tilting her chin up thoughtfully.

“Yes!” Li Jia sighed, then added, “But I think Li Meiling is very brave to say it so directly…”

"Hey, Yamazaki!" Chiharu suddenly saw two people walking towards her from a distance and quickly turned her head to greet them.

Yamazaki walked over with a smile, his gaze sweeping over everyone's bento boxes: "Your bento boxes look delicious!"

"Yamazaki, are you going to have lunch too?" Chiharu asked.

"Yes, I was just about to go to a restaurant with Li." Yamazaki nodded.

Standing next to him, Li Xiaolang's face was beaming with joy.

Just then, a very penetrating shout came from not far away.

"Little Wolf!"

It was Li Meiling's voice.

Ye Hui looked in the direction of the sound.

Li Meiling was seen carrying a three-tiered wooden lunchbox and running quickly toward Li Xiaolang.

Running up to him, she wrapped her arms around Li Xiaolang's neck from behind and said excitedly, "I've prepared a bento box!"

"Come on, let's go eat together!"

This time, she quickly let go, looked up at Li Xiaolang, her eyes full of anticipation.

Li Xiaolang stared at Li Meiling for a few seconds, his face revealing an undisguised sense of despair and helplessness.

Before the other person had gone far, he said in a deep voice, "Come with me for a moment, Meiling!"

"What? What's going on?" Li Meiling was taken aback, but still obediently followed him back.

All the other pairs of eyes were fixed on them.

Although the two walked a distance apart.

With Ye Hui's enhanced senses, this distance was nothing at all.

He could hear their conversation clearly.

“Melon! This is a school!” Li Xiaolang spread his hands.

"Oh? I know, that's why I brought the food in a bento box."

Li Meiling sat down on the chair next to her and opened the lunchbox without saying a word.

"At home, you can just put it on a plate. Don't you like eating bento boxes?"

Once the bento box is opened, the exquisitely arranged food inside is revealed.

Although Meiling's thought process is peculiar, her cooking skills are quite good.

"That's not what I'm talking about!"

Li Xiaolang clenched his fists, his brows furrowed.

"Little wolf, you still don't like konjac? Don't worry, I didn't put any in!"

Li Meiling said with a smile, picking up her chopsticks.

Konjac, also known as devil's tongue.

Tsk, I didn't expect Li Xiaolang to dislike konjac. He must not be able to enjoy konjac.

—I almost forgot, there's no such thing as konjac sandwiches yet.

"That's not what I meant..."

Li Xiaolang felt weak all over, and his voice softened.

"Don't worry, I specially made your favorite shrimp shumai!"

Li Meiling picked up a shumai and put it to his mouth, "Here!"

Li Xiaolang instinctively opened his mouth to catch it, chewed it, and swallowed it.

"Isn't my cooking amazing?" Li Meiling smiled, tilting her head, her eyes full of anticipation.

Look, Li Xiaolang, such a cute girl even made you a bento box, how sweet!

“No…not bad…” Li Xiaolang’s momentum instantly weakened.

No wonder we grew up together.

Li Meiling had a complete grasp on Li Xiaolang's personality.

But it only took a few seconds for Li Xiaolang to realize what he meant, and he frowned and asked, "That's not what I meant! Meiling, why did you come to Japan?"

"Of course it's because Little Wolf keeps refusing to go back!" Li Meiling said matter-of-factly.

"I said I'd go back after I collected all the Clow Cards!" Li Xiaolang emphasized.

“Someone’s already collecting them, isn’t that right? Just like the fortune telling you did in Hong Kong.” Li Meiling still smiled brightly.

Li Xiaolang knew perfectly well that someone was collecting the Clow Cards, yet he still came to the Land of Cherry Blossoms alone.

It must be said that this sense of responsibility is quite strong.

"Didn't I tell you about this yesterday? This matter..." Li Xiaolang wanted to explain further.

"It's because of that girl, isn't it!" Li Meiling suddenly sharpened her eyes and glanced in Xiaoying's direction.

Sakura had been secretly glancing in that direction, but when she saw this, she immediately looked away and shrank back.

"Hey! Why do I suddenly feel a chill..."

"They're not going to start arguing again, are they?" Tomoyo had also vaguely heard some of the conversation and looked over there.

Ye Hui shook his head: "Don't worry, we won't start arguing."

Even though Li Xiaolang didn't like Li Meiling, he always treated her like a younger sister.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be so accommodating to her.

Let her be capricious.

"...So it will take some time to collect them all. Meiling, you should go back to Hong Kong soon!" Li Xiaolang advised.

Li Meiling, however, was absorbed in her own world and ignored his words, instead clenching her fists.

"Alright! To win against that girl, I'll help Syaoran! With my help, you'll definitely be able to collect all the Clow Cards quickly!"

"Leave it to me! With the two of us working together, no one can stand against us!" she said, her face full of fighting spirit, and then she laughed triumphantly a few times.

"Wakkawa!"

Ye Hui held his forehead.

—That laughter was indeed as crisp as a barbell.

Tomoyo leaned close to Ye Hui's ear and whispered, "Li Meiling seems to have suddenly become very happy."

The voice just fell.

Li Meiling walked up to Xiaoying from a distance, put her hands on her hips, and looked down at her.

"I'm telling you, Little Wolf is mine alone! I will definitely help you defeat him! No, I will make him defeat you!"

After making those harsh words, she didn't wait for Sakura's reaction before turning back to Li Xiaolang's side and continuing to supervise him as he ate the nutritious bento she had made.

Little Wolf already has a weak stomach, so she naturally has to pay close attention to his eating habits.

Sakura was completely dumbfounded. She was still holding her chopsticks, staring blankly at Ye Hui and then at Tomoyo, looking utterly bewildered.

"She...she's going to defeat me? Why?"

Ye Hui shrugged: "See, I told you so."

"Sakura, do your best! Magical girls can't be defeated!"

Tomoyo's purple eyes curved into crescent moons, and a faint smile played on her lips.

Sakura stuffed a bite of her bento into her mouth and mumbled, "I don't understand, but it's good that you guys are here..."

[Sakura Kinomoto's mood value +7]

Lunch break over.

The first period in the afternoon is physical education class.

The students changed into their matching sportswear.

They lined up neatly on the mats and followed Mr. Terada to do warm-up exercises.

They stretched, bent over, and kicked their legs in perfect unison.

"Alright, assemble!"

Mr. Terada blew his whistle, and a sharp whistle rang out immediately.

Ye Hui followed the crowd to the designated location and stood in formation.

He glanced at Mr. Terada and muttered to himself.

If Sakura is bad at math in the future, she can really say that her math was taught by her PE teacher.

Elementary school homeroom teachers in Japan are also quite different, often holding multiple positions.

They can teach anything—Chinese, math, physical education, crafts, and more.

Sakura now has one less excuse for being bad at math.

"Alright, students, today we're going to learn floor gymnastics. Let's start by practicing side rolls!"

Mr. Terada clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.

He briefly explained the key points and precautions of the movements, and then gave a standard demonstration on the mat, with smooth and standardized movements.

Tomoyo looked at Sakura, her purple eyes curving into a smile: "For Sakura, a side somersault is far too easy."

Just as Sakura was about to say something, she felt a murderous aura coming from behind her that almost materialized.

She shrank back and whispered to Tomoyo and Ye Hui, "Tomoyo, Ye Hui, Li Meiling has been staring at me..."

"Go for it, Xiaoying! Show her the true power of a big sister!" Ye Hui clenched his fist to encourage her.

"Uh, hi..." Sakura responded weakly.

[Sakura Kinomoto's mood value +8]

Sakura: (╥_╥)～

She's really not some kind of boss.
After everyone practiced for a while...

Mr. Terada asked everyone to gather together and go up one by one to try.

"next."

"Sakura, it's your turn."

Tomoyo smiled and encouraged her, "Go for it!"

"Okay!" Sakura took a deep breath, answered energetically, and walked to the starting point of the mat.

She stretched out both hands and placed them on the mat.

He spun around.

One, two, three...

She executed three consecutive side handsprings in one smooth motion, landing steadily.

This immediately drew applause from the students.

"Wow, Sakura is amazing!"

"That's amazing! Si Guoyi!"

Mr. Terada nodded in satisfaction and praised her.

Li Meiling then raised her hand: "Teacher! I'm next!"

Mr. Terada paused for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

Li Meiling walked to the front of the mat and gave Xiaoying a provocative look.

Then, she also performed three consecutive side handsprings, her movements even faster and more powerful than Sakura's.

"Wow! Li Meiling is amazing too!"

The students applauded again, and the applause was just as enthusiastic.

Amidst a burst of surprised cheers.

Li Meiling walked up to Xiaoying and proudly raised her chin.

Li Xiaolang watched helplessly from the side, raising his hand to his forehead, looking like he couldn't bear to watch.

"Li Meiling also did a great job!"

Mr. Terada clapped his hands, "Next."

Soon it was Ye Hui's turn.

"Ye, it's your turn."

Ye Hui had nothing to do, so he calmed his mind and began to cultivate.

He only came to his senses when Tomoyo gently reminded him.

"Keep it up! I think this will be easy for Ye too!"

Zhi Shi looked at Ye Hui with a smile and waved her arm in front of him.

Tomoyo Daidouji's emotional value +6

"Yes, I think you're right~" Ye Hui replied with a smile.

Talk about it.

Elementary school students in Sakura-gumi even have to learn floor gymnastics in their physical education class.

Moreover, it's a bit outrageous that everyone knows a few floor moves.

However, moves like side handsprings and front flips are not allowed.

It's true that the younger you are, the easier it is to master.

After all, it has a low center of gravity.

To put it simply, being short has an advantage.

Ye Hui stood at the starting point of the mat, swayed slightly, and floated over.

One, two, three, four, five...

He flipped five times in a row, and even turned it upside down in his mouth.

Until it landed, it was silent and steady.

The applause rang out again, even more enthusiastic than before.

"Wow, Yezi, you're amazing!" Sakura's eyes widened in admiration.

[Sakura Kinomoto's mood value +8]

"A side roll is really easy for Ye-kun, and the move is really cool." Tomoyo smiled and nodded in agreement.

Tomoyo Daidouji's emotional value +6

Li Meiling stared wide-eyed at Ye Hui, her face full of surprise.

Why is this person turning in mid-air?
[Li Meiling's mood score +20]

[You demonstrate the spell you just learned in front of everyone, but suddenly, disciples of the Heavenly Spiritual Root, including Kinomoto Sakura, stand up and mock you for overestimating yourself and lacking knowledge, treating such a simple spell as a secret manual. You feel deeply humiliated!]

Ye Hui: “…”

Next, Mr. Terada taught a few simple floor gymnastics moves.

Thus, a one-sided "war" was reignited.

"Teacher, do you think my movements are correct?"

After Li Meiling finished a move, she immediately ran to Teacher Terada and waited for his evaluation.

"Teacher, teacher, did I jump high?"

Sakura wasn't going to be outdone, so she hopped and skipped over to join them.

However, she was simply having fun and didn't notice Li Meiling's hostile attitude towards her at all.

"Hmph, I can jump even higher!"

Seeing this, Li Meiling immediately jumped as well, determined to see who was better.

that's it.

The entire afternoon's PE class turned into a showcase for Sakura and Li Meiling's floor exercises.

The students were stunned, and even Mr. Terada was somewhat overwhelmed.

In the end, Terada-sensei could only try to smooth things over by saying, "Kinomoto-san and Meiling-san are both very capable..."

Ye Hui and Zhi Shi sat leisurely to the side throughout the entire class, silently cultivating while becoming spectators in the front row.

"Sakura had a lot of fun in PE class today."

Tomoyo said with a smile, but then suddenly felt a little regretful.

"It's a pity we can't use cameras in class, otherwise I would definitely record all these wonderful moments."

Ye Hui clicked his tongue: "Yes, mainly because Li Meiling is also very energetic."

He casually pointed to a spot not far away, "Look at Li Xiaolang, his face is almost green."

Tomoyo looked in the direction he was pointing and couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, that's right."

Indeed, Li Xiaolang was caught in the middle, unsure whether to offer advice or not.

He was pulled over by Li Meiling to watch her performance one minute, and then he was complained about for not cheering her on the next.
After a class.

Li Xiaolang exuded an aura of despair.

If the Evil Sword Immortal were here at this moment, he could probably feed him until he was completely full.

However, this competition in physical education class was just the beginning.

For the rest of the afternoon, Li Meiling launched a comprehensive challenge against Xiaoying. During music class...

The teacher taught everyone a new song.

Sakura followed along, learning each word with great care, her voice clear, sweet, and perfectly in sync.

Li Meiling, however, strained her voice and sang at the top of her lungs, as if she wanted to exhaust all the air in her lungs, just to outdo Xiaoying in volume, which made the classmates next to her turn their heads.

In art class, the teacher asked everyone to draw self-portraits.

Compared to singing, Sakura's drawing skills, after a period of training, are currently quite good.

She picked up her paintbrush and soon drew a chibi version of herself.

She has a round face and big eyes, and is especially cute.

"Sakura's drawing is really good!" Tomoyo leaned over to take a look and praised her sincerely.

"Yes, it's very cute!" Ye Hui echoed with a smile.

Li Meiling stood there for a long time, her brows furrowing and then relaxing.

Finally, a female warrior with wide-open eyes and a fighting stance was drawn, with sharp lines and a powerful presence.

"How was it? Was my drawing pretty good?" Meiling asked, grabbing the little wolf.

Ye Hui and Zhi Shi watched the whole thing from Xiao Ying's side.

"Mei Ling, you really are... persistent," Tomoyo sighed softly.

"That's what you call commendable spirit," Ye Hui commented, glancing at Li Xiaolang not far away. "It's just a bit of a hassle... Li Xiaolang."

After art class.

Li Xiaolang lay face down on the table, covered his head with books, and remained motionless.

He's given up; let the world just end.

"Dingling bell~"

The school bell had just rung.

Li Xiaolang suddenly sprang up as if he had been electrocuted, grabbed his schoolbag and rushed out, his movements as fast as the wind.

"Hey? Little Wolf! Wait for me!" Li Meiling called out and immediately followed him out.

"Phew, it's finally over." Sakura breathed a sigh of relief.

After an afternoon, even the slowest person would eventually realize what was happening.

Meiling is targeting her.

"She's run away now, but who knows, Li Meiling might come back later," Ye Hui joked casually.

"Huh? No way!" Sakura immediately pouted.

Being targeted for no reason all afternoon must have been exhausting!

"Let's go home together," Tomoyo said with a smile, having already packed her schoolbag.

"Okay! Let's go quickly!" Sakura nodded and immediately started packing her things.

Ye Hui also stood up, just about to walk with them, when someone blocked his way.

Li Meiling really did come back.

Sakura was stunned, then looked at Ye Hui with teary eyes: "Ye-kun, are you a jinx...?"

[Sakura Kinomoto's mood value +8]

Ye Hui awkwardly touched his nose, somewhat embarrassed: "Uh, I was just saying..."

Tomoyo covered her mouth and chuckled.

Li Meiling ran to Xiaoying's desk and stopped, panting, clearly having run all the way back.

"Kinomoto Sakura!"

She called out, her tone unusually solemn.

"Ah? Here!"

Sakura was startled by her posture and instinctively straightened up.

It's more like a student who's daydreaming in class and gets suddenly called on by the teacher.

Li Meiling took out a neatly folded piece of paper from her pocket.

Then, with a "smack," he slammed his hand on Sakura's desk.

"What...what is this?" Sakura asked timidly, looking at the piece of paper.

"A challenge!"

Li Meiling said, enunciating each word clearly.

His eyes burned with fierce fighting spirit, showing no sign of joking.

"A duel book?"

Sakura picked up the paper, unfolded it, and took a look.

The words "Duel Scroll" were written in crooked cherry blossom language on it.

Below, the time and place were written in a crooked and messy manner.

"That's right!"

Li Meiling put her hands on her hips, chin held high, and said, "Tomorrow after school, in the school's grove, let's settle this with martial arts! Do you dare to come?"

Sakura was completely dumbfounded, blinking her eyes.

Martial arts?

She doesn't know any martial arts!

After being repeatedly instructed by Ye Hui, his swordsmanship was barely passable.

But this is completely different from martial arts!

"But... I don't know martial arts..." Sakura explained softly.

"I don't care!" Li Meiling's attitude was firm, refusing to budge an inch. "You have to come! If you don't come, you're disrespecting me! I'll pester you every single day from now on!"

This……

This is absolutely unreasonable!

Who is the real boss?

No, she wasn't originally either!
o (╥﹏╥) o Waaah~ What should I do...?

She looked pleadingly at Ye Hui and Zhi Shi: "Zhi Shi-chan, Ye Zi-kun..."

[Sakura Kinomoto's mood value +6]

Just as Tomoyo was about to say something to help Sakura out of the predicament.

Ye Hui picked up the duel book on the table first, glanced at the crooked handwriting, looked up at Li Meiling, and spoke calmly.

"A martial arts competition, huh? Sure."

Li Meiling was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting Ye Hui to speak first, and then raised her chin.

"What? You want to stand up for her?" Li Meiling waved her hand, her tone impatient. "But this is my duel letter to Kinomoto Sakura, it's none of your business!"

Ye Hui twirled the piece of paper and shook it gently: "She really doesn't know martial arts. This duel is more of a challenge than a harassment."

Sakura looked up at him, touched: "(﹏) Yezi-kun..."

"So what do you want?" Li Meiling stared at him warily, like a cat whose tail had been caught.

"It's very simple."

Ye Hui's lips curled into a smile, a sly glint in his eyes. "I'll take Xiaoying's place and fight you."

Even Li Xiaolang was no match for him in close combat, so dealing with Li Meiling was naturally a piece of cake.

Even if she's a cute girl, you can't always target others like that!

—I'm already a little troubled by not watching Sakura-chan.

"You?" Li Meiling looked him up and down with suspicion in her eyes. "Are you even capable? Don't think you're so great just because you can do a nice side roll."

[Li Meiling's mood score +10]

Ye Hui was somewhat surprised: "Li Xiaolang didn't tell you about me?"

"What did you say? Do you have some kind of relationship with Little Wolf?!" Li Meiling's train of thought instantly veered off course, and her tone became a bit more urgent.

Ye Hui's lips twitched: "No, no, it has absolutely nothing to do with it."

He guessed that Li Xiaolang had probably mentioned him, but Li Meiling hadn't taken it to heart at all.

"Whether it works or not, we'll know tomorrow."

Ye Hui casually put the duel letter into his pocket. "However, simply fighting isn't very interesting. Let's add a prize—the loser has to grant the winner a request."

"What are the conditions?" Li Meiling asked casually, not really caring.

"If I win, you're not allowed to cause trouble for Xiaoying again," Ye Hui said calmly.

Li Meiling recalled Ye Hui's neat side flip during the afternoon's PE class, and her heart suddenly pounded a little, but she was not about to admit defeat.

"Okay! It's a deal! What if you lose?"

Ye Hui said calmly, "Then let's never go near Li Xiaolang again, how about that? But I reckon we won't lose."

Regardless of winning or losing, they won't lose anything.

Moreover, they never intentionally tried to get close to Li Xiaolang.

Ye Hui's overwhelming confidence left Li Meiling speechless for a moment. After a few seconds of hesitation, she forced herself to say, "Then it's settled!"

She paused, then emphasized, "Don't be late for the grove after school tomorrow!"

After saying that, he turned and ran, this time without looking back.

The classroom finally fell completely quiet.

This time, she was really going to pursue Li Xiaolang.

Only Ye Hui, Xiao Ying, and Zhi Shi remained in the classroom.

Sakura looked at the duel notice in Ye Hui's hand and whispered, "Ye-kun, this is too much trouble for you..."

Ye Hui folded the paper, stuffed it into his pocket, and smiled: "It's okay, just consider it a good workout. Besides, I can't really let you go and fight her in martial arts, can I?"

Tomoyo said softly, "Yo-kun has thought this through very well, Sakura, so don't worry."

Sakura looked at the two of them, her panic gradually subsiding, but her eyes welled up even more: "Thank you..."

"Is Li Meiling really gone this time?" Xiaoying peeked into the doorway, and when she turned back, her eyes held a hint of accusation.

Ye Hui shrugged: "It shouldn't be that bad..."

Before he could finish speaking, the classroom door creaked open again.

Ye Hui's smile instantly froze on his face.

No way……

Is this a side effect of "cuteness"?
Or has your luck been affected recently?
In just a few seconds, Ye Hui considered all the possible reasons.

The only thing I didn't want to believe was that I had really become a jinx.

"Oh, Sakura, you guys haven't left yet? I forgot something."

Naoko entered after the door was opened.

"Huh? Why are you all looking at me?" She entered the room and met three pairs of eyes, scratching her head in confusion.

"No, it's nothing!" Sakura quickly shook her head.

Naoko didn't think much of it, picked up the notebook from the corner of the table: "I'll be going now, see you tomorrow!"

A smile spread across Tomoyo's purple eyes as she said softly, "Ye-kun's expression just now was so interesting—it was kind of cute."

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +6】

The corner of Ye Hui's mouth twitched.

Is he cute?

He smacked his lips.

Fine.

As long as Tomoyo is happy, it doesn't matter if he makes a little foolish mistake...

Sakura, however, hadn't forgotten the important matter and asked with some worry, "Ye-kun, are you really going to duel with Li Meiling? What if something goes wrong..."

She paused, then added in a low voice, "What if you hurt her?"

Ye Hui initially thought she was worried about him and was about to speak to comfort her.

Upon hearing this, he immediately looked embarrassed: "Don't worry, I'll keep a good eye on things."

Sakura doesn't seem to be worried about him at all.

Should he be happy that Sakura truly has faith in him...?

Tomoyo smiled and asked, "Can I go and film Yoko's duel tomorrow?"

Ye Hui: “…”

Tomoyo-chan, your focus is always so unique.

but……

He glanced at the expectant light in Tomoyo's eyes and nodded silently: "Of course, just remember to make me look handsome in the photos."

Tomoyo now has a desire to photograph him as well as Sakura, in addition to Sakura herself.

Not bad! This is a huge step forward in the process of winning over defectors!

Tomoyo smiled, her eyes crinkling: "Don't worry, I definitely will!"

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +9】

Sakura packed her things: "Let's hurry back, it's getting late. See you tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow."

Ye Hui nodded in agreement.

Tomorrow, let Li Meiling, the body-cultivating girl mentioned by the system, see what a cultivator's "martial arts" really is.

The setting sun streamed into the classroom through the windows.

The three of them cast long shadows as they walked together out of the school gate.

After Li Meiling issued the duel challenge, she didn't bother Xiaoying for the entire day.

After school the next day.

As soon as the bell rang, Sakura couldn't wait to leave.

"Ye Zi, let's go to the grove."

Ye Hui looked at her helplessly.

Is it because the opponent isn't himself that he's so excited?
Zhi Shi then took out a design and handed it to Ye Hui: "This is a design I specially made for you, Ye! What do you think? Isn't it perfect?"

The picture shows a dark blue Taoist robe embroidered with auspicious clouds and Tai Chi patterns in gold thread, which is both simple and grand.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +5】

It can only be said that Tomoyo's aesthetic sense has never disappointed.

Ye Hui used the Illusory Cloud Robe to create this outfit, stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself; it really did look like he was going to participate in a martial arts competition.

The grove of trees at Youzhi Elementary School.

Li Meiling arrived early.

She was also wearing a Taoist robe, the style of which was somewhat similar to Li Xiaolang's. It was a combination of anime style and traditional Hanfu outer robe, which made her look very heroic.

They saw Ye Hui and the others approaching.

Li Meiling put her hands on her hips and said arrogantly, "You made me wait so long, I thought you didn't dare to come!"

"Since you promised, of course I'll come, but you should at least pack your things first, right?"

Ye Hui spoke calmly as he walked to the center of the open space and stood opposite Li Meiling.

"Well then, let's clarify the rules before we begin."

Li Meiling snorted: "The rules are simple: beat the opponent until they can't stand up or admit defeat! No weapons allowed!"

Ye Hui nodded: "Okay."

"Shall we begin now, Miss Li Xiaolang's fiancée?"

(._.)
"You're quite the smooth talker!"

(｀へ)
Li Meiling was taken aback by Ye Hui's sudden address, but she was quickly appeased and her expression brightened.

"Since you're so good with words, I can go easy on you later!"

The words have not yet fallen.

She charged forward like an arrow released from a bow, her fists fierce and aimed straight for Ye Hui's face.

Tomoyo held up the camera, the lens firmly locked onto the figures in the room, not missing a single moment.

Facing an oncoming fist.

Ye Hui's expression remained unchanged.

Just as the fist was about to touch his cheek, he slightly shifted his body and easily dodged it.

Li Meiling missed her first strike, but without pausing, she switched her fist to an elbow and swept it towards Ye Hui's ribs.

Ye Hui took half a step back, his timing perfect, and calmly dodged again.

"You're quite good at dodging!" Li Meiling stood still again, her eyes becoming even sharper.

"Well, I am indeed a rather flexible person." Ye Hui smiled.

He always felt guilty for bullying a girl when he fought with Li Meiling.

"Stop being so proud!"

Li Meiling's attacks became increasingly fierce, her punches and kicks clashing with powerful force.

However swift and fierce her attacks were.

Ye Hui was always able to dodge with minimal movement, as if he had anticipated every move she made.

Sakura tilted her head in confusion and whispered to Tomoyo, "Tomoyo-chan, don't you think that Yoko... he seemed to have dodged all of Li Meiling's attacks without even moving?"

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +7]

Huff~ Huff~
After a while, Li Meiling was already panting heavily, her forehead covered in sweat that slid down her cheeks.

"Why...why are you only dodging and not attacking?"

She stopped what she was doing, her chest heaving violently, but she tried her best to calm it down, and asked defiantly, "You look down on me?"

[Li Meiling's mood score +13]

“I was giving you a chance, and also testing your strength, but now it seems,” Ye Hui shook his head, “that if you admit defeat now, it’s not too late.”

"I will not admit defeat!" Li Meiling gritted her teeth and suddenly raised her leg to sweep towards Ye Hui's lower body, with unstoppable force.

[Li Meiling's mood score +15]

Ye Hui accepted the duel.

Besides helping Sakura solve her problems.

Another reason was that he coveted the emotional points that Li Meiling provided.
