Return of the Phoenix Lady

On the way to the arena, Han Xing wore a sullen expression, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell she was in a bad mood. Yingchen had come to the conclusion after following her for years that one should never provoke her when she was in a bad mood, or else the consequences would be disastrous.

But often, people with discerning eyes do not include people like Liu Hanyue.

"Hey! Why do you have such an expression? Are you scared? Worried about the upcoming competition? Haha! Don't worry, I will show mercy. After all, you are just a freshman, right? Oh no, I almost forgot, you are about to drop out of school and become the most lowly pariah!" Liu Hanyue, who was treated like a star by a group of people, saw the person she hated the most as soon as she arrived at the arena, and said viciously without mercy.

"I thought it was something barking? Turns out it's you! No, you, Liu Hanyue, are not a thing. You're going to turn into a pig, right?" Han Xing originally ignored her, but now she's very unhappy! Very unhappy! So, since that idiot Liu Hanyue had walked into the trap herself, don't blame her.

"Who are you calling a piece of shit? How dare you call me a pig? You untouchable! If I don't beat you half to death, I won't be called Liu Hanyue!" Liu Hanyue was also angry and cursed viciously.

"Could it be that Miss Liu Hanyue is a thing?"

"Of course not!" Liu Hanyue said bluntly.

"That's it. You've admitted that you're worthless. Why are you still blaming me?" Han Xing sneered.

"You..." Liu Hanyue was so angry that she couldn't speak. When she was a child, Liu Hanyue's eloquence was not as good as Han Xing's, and it was still the same now.

Seeing their beloved goddess being insulted like this, Liu Hanyue's supporters were also furious and started cursing, "You stinky boy, who are you? How dare you insult the daughter of the Prime Minister of Mu Kingdom? Are you trying to kill yourself?"

"That's right, he is indeed a lowly pariah who dares to be so rude to our number one beauty, Hanyue! Such a person has no right to enter our academy!"

"That's right! You lowly untouchables have no right to come here. Look! You've trampled on such a high-class place and made it dirty!"

The supporters were talking at the same time, and now they were not only targeting Han Xing, but also some civilians with no status were included in their insults. The words they used were becoming more and more excessive. Liu Hanyue's expression also improved a little because of the growing momentum.

"Damn it! What right do you have to scold Han'er? What's wrong with having no status? What's wrong with having no position? How does that bother you? Today is Han'er and Liu Hanyue's competition. What does that have to do with you? What do you want now?" Shui Luochen shouted angrily as the words became increasingly unbearable. Feng Shang and Chu Xiang, standing beside him, also glared at the support group. Although Yingchen's face remained expressionless, his clenched fists betrayed his anger.

Because of the two main characters, Han Xing and Liu Hanyue, and the verbal battle, it attracted quite a few onlookers, including some powerful people who had no status and became angry after hearing the words of the supporters, and would occasionally interrupt and curse. This verbal battle also turned into a war between the poor and the rich.

"Yue'er, what's going on?" A soft female voice interrupted.

"Yes, what are you arguing about?" A cute female voice came over.

Han Xing looked up, and there were two more beauties! And they were not wearing school uniforms, so it seemed that they were Liu Hanyue's friends.

"You Ran, Ruo Fu, why did you come just now!" Liu Hanyue pouted her pink lips and complained.

"We are doing this for you. By the way, why are you guys arguing? Aren't we going to compete?" Ruofu's active personality means she likes to join in the fun.

"Don't worry about this for now. Tell me quickly, is he coming?" Liu Hanyue said nervously.

"Miss, you only know him, really!" Ruofu said dissatisfiedly. She would get angry with anyone who didn't satisfy her curiosity.

Liu Hanyue was too lazy to ignore her and turned around to ask, "You Ran, tell me quickly, is he coming?"

“…I don’t know.” Shui Youran thought for a moment before saying.

"What do you mean you don't know? I asked you to invite people, but you just give me a perfunctory answer? Did you go or not?" Liu Hanyue was anxious and her tone became aggressive.

"Why are you in such a hurry? We worked so hard to invite him for you, and you treat us like this?" He Ruofu pulled Shui Youran, who was lowering her head, over and said angrily.

Liu Hanyue wanted to explode, but when she thought about how she still needed their help, she could only hold it in. She immediately lowered her posture and said gently, "My dear sisters, I'm sorry! You know I have a quick temper, especially when it comes to him. Please don't be angry with me, just tell me now!"

"He didn't say anything. He just left without saying a word after listening to what we said." Although He Ruofu was angry, she knew her friend was anxious, so she spoke honestly.

"Then why don't you stop him and ask him clearly?... You also know what I'm thinking, you must help me!" Knowing that his tone was a bit rude, he quickly said ingratiatingly.

"Yue'er, sometimes, matters of the heart cannot be forced." Shui Youran, who had been silent all this time, advised.

"But how do you know if you can get it if you don't fight for it? Besides, there is nothing I, Liu Hanyue, can't get if I think of it! Youran, you are too indifferent, that's why everything is snatched away by others." Liu Hanyue looked down on Shui Youran's temperament, but she was of noble status after all, so it was good to be friends with her. Besides, how could he let go of such an easy-to-bully woman?

"Who are they?" Han Xing asked Shui Luochen.

"Shui Youran is the princess of the Water Kingdom. She is calm, introverted, and doesn't like to talk, but she is also well-known as the third most beautiful woman in the academy. He Ruofu, the granddaughter of the general of the Wood Kingdom, is the fourth most beautiful woman in the academy. She is also somewhat related to Liu Hanyue."

"Oh? What do you say?"

"He Ruofu's aunt married Liu Hanyue's father. Even though that aunt is dead, they are still somewhat related, right?"

"Where's the second most beautiful woman?"

"The identity of the second beauty is quite mysterious. I don't know either. Her name is Xue Ling."

"By the way, Yue'er, who is competing with you today?" He Ruofu looked around curiously.

"It's him!" Liu Hanyue pointed with her slender hand.

"Wow! So... handsome!" She'd wanted to say "beautiful," but then she wondered if that would offend the handsome guy. After all, handsome guys don't usually like people calling them beautiful! She immediately changed her tune. It was the first time He Ruofu had seen a man comparable to Huo Aoxuan. Huo Aoxuan had a masculine beauty, while this handsome guy had an androgynous beauty. She couldn't understand why Yue'er, who always loved beauty, had such a grudge against this handsome guy.

Shui Youran was stunned the first time she saw Han Xing. She felt that her long-calm heart was stirred, her heart was beating like a deer, and two cute little red clouds rose on her cheeks. His handsome face suddenly appeared in her heart, and she couldn't forget it even if she wanted to. She could only lower her head to hide her loss of composure.

"What's the point of being good-looking? He's just an ignorant pariah!" Liu Hanyue got angry when he saw that his friend seemed to have a good impression of him.

"Yue'er, is he really the audacious guy you mentioned?" He Ruofu asked uncertainly.

"Why not?"

"Is there some misunderstanding?" Shui Youran didn't believe that such a good-looking boy would do what Yue'er said.

"What misunderstanding is this? What's wrong with you? Are you fascinated by his appearance and start to not trust me? I have known you for so long, and you just met him, and you don't trust me?" Liu Hanyue shouted in disappointment.

"We didn't mean that, Yue'er, don't be like this!" He Ruofu also felt that she seemed to have gone too far. After all, she and she had been friends for four years!

"Of course not! I see you guys are like that. Not only do you not help me, you don't even trust me!" Liu Hanyue was furious. Why did everything go wrong for her the moment she saw that evil star? How annoying!

The three girls suddenly froze.

"Stop talking nonsense for so long, do you want to compete?" Han Xing broke the silence.
