Chapter 20 The Girl with a Heavy Heart

"I will challenge you in the official ranking battle next month."

When these words came out of Aize's mouth and reached Toudou Qilin's ears, Toudou Qilin froze.

"I came to you, besides wanting to talk to you, I actually wanted to tell you this."

Aize said this without changing his expression.

"If I could beat you, your expression wouldn't be as heavy as it was just now, right?"

These words made Toudou Qilin break free from her stiff state and turn around abruptly.

"Senior, you..."

Unfortunately, when Toudou Qilin turned around, Aize had already taken a step forward.

"You better prepare yourself, don't accuse me of bullying the weak later."

After leaving these words, Aize left.

Only Todo Qilin was left, looking at Aize's gradually receding back, as if she wanted to call out to him but didn't know how to start.

After a while, Toudou Qilin left with a heavy heart.

…………

Comprehensive arena, back door.

Toudou Qilin left from here.

After leaving the arena, she immediately came to a forest trail for walking, where she met a person.

The other party seemed to have come from the comprehensive arena and was standing not far from the back door entrance of the comprehensive arena.

However, it seemed like he had been waiting here for a while, and looked almost impatient.

"uncle……"

Toudou Qilin called out to the other party with some fear.

Given the physique of the two, Toudou Kirin does need to be afraid of the other.

The other person seemed to be a man in his prime, with a very strong physique. Although he was wearing a suit, his face was very fierce. He gave people the feeling that he was not a social elite, but rather a gangster.

However, the man did not seem to be from the Star Vein generation, and had no aura of star power at all. Even though he was physically strong, if it came to a matter of strength, he would probably be knocked down by the petite Toudou Kirin in one go.

Even though this was the case, Toudou Qilin looked timid when she came in front of the other party, as if she was very afraid of the other party.

The other party did not restrain his ferocity at all because the girl standing in front of him was too cute. He looked down at Todo Kirin and spoke coldly.

"What took you so long? Didn't I tell you to come to my side as soon as the duel was over?"

This attitude can no longer be described as arrogant, but rather as bullying.

"I'm sorry." Toudou Qilin lowered her head very low, and said in a trembling voice: "I, I just chatted with the senior for a few words..."

"Senior?" The sturdy man frowned and asked bluntly, "Which senior? The one from the senior department?"

"Yes." Toudou Qilin said truthfully, "It was the one who just defeated the thirteenth-ranked one."

"Oh?" The burly man narrowed his eyes and asked, "The one who uses the Blackforge Devil Sword?"

Toudou Qilin carefully observed the sturdy man's expression and nodded imperceptibly.

"What did he tell you?"

The sturdy man asked a question that was very inquiring.

"he……"

Toudou Qilin hesitated again, looking as if she didn't know whether she should say it or not.

"Speak!" The sturdy man immediately said angrily: "Do you want to resist me again? Think about your father!"

Toudou Qilin's delicate body trembled slightly, as if she was hit in the vitals by an invisible sharp blade, and she huddled into a ball.

"...He said that he would challenge me by name in the official ranking battle next month."

Toudou Qilin told this story with difficulty.

"what?"

The sturdy man's expression suddenly changed slightly.

This is not good news.

He was also present at the official ranking battle just now, and was sitting in the VIP seat on the other side.

Therefore, he also witnessed Aize's duel with his own eyes.

Thinking of the power that the other party had finally unleashed, the sturdy man couldn't help but smack his lips.

“As soon as you were promoted to rank 13, you’re already targeting rank 1? That’s why I say these brats from the Star Vein Generation are annoying!”

The burly man who said this seemed to have completely failed to consider that the niece standing in front of him was also from the Star Vein generation.

As for this, Toto Kirin seemed to have gotten used to it and just lowered her head even lower.

The burly man did not notice this, or even if he noticed it, he did not care. After calming down, he spoke to Todo Kirin.

"That's good, at least we know who our next official ranking battle opponent will be." "Although that guy is quite capable and the Black Furnace Demon Sword cannot be underestimated, we have a month, which is enough time for us to come up with a countermeasure."

"Nothing, just a thirteenth-ranked one. Even if he has the Blackforge Demon Sword, he will not be your opponent."

The burly man seemed to be very confident in Toudou Kirin's ability, and his tone became more and more impolite.

"That kind of small character, when the time comes, you will quickly get rid of him, got it?"

Hearing this, Toudou Qilin couldn't help but speak out.

"Senior is not a small character." Toudou Qilin said in defense: "His swordsmanship is very unique. Although he does not have a fixed set of moves, he can make the most appropriate response according to the battle situation. It is so perfect that it seems to have no flaws. It is very difficult..."

Toudou Qilin was unable to utter the word "deal with".

"No matter how powerful he is, you must win!" The burly man interrupted Toudou Qilin and said in an unquestionable manner: "No matter how powerful he is, he is only ranked thirteenth. If you lose to a thirteenth-ranked person, your reputation will definitely plummet!"

"This is absolutely not okay!"

The sturdy man said this as if giving an order.

"I will collect all the information about him. For this month, you just need to concentrate on your research."

"In the official ranking battle in a month, you must defeat him quickly and efficiently. It cannot take too long."

"have you understood?"

The sturdy man's almost unreasonable remarks made Toudou Qilin lower her eyes.

"……Yes."

After a long while, Toudou Qilin finally uttered the answer in a low voice.

The burly man finally relaxed his frown, but he still didn't stop his sharp words.

"Listen carefully, Qilin, you must always be number one."

"It's not the current No. 1 in the Xingdao Academy, but an unprecedented No. 1 that will go down in history and will never be surpassed."

"Only in this way can I fulfill my ambition and you can realize your wish."

The burly man revealed an expression mixed with disgust and sarcasm, and spoke word by word.

"If you want to save your father, you have to listen to me, understand?"

Faced with these words, Toudou Qilin's body trembled slightly again.

"...Yes, uncle."

Her answer was still so difficult and so quiet.

"Let's go."

The burly man ignored Toudou Qilin and turned away.

Toudou Qilin followed the burly man with even heavier steps than before, without raising her head.

However, when passing by the fountain, Toto Kirin inadvertently saw her own expression reflected on the water.

That face was obviously very delicate and cute, but it was full of tears.

For no reason, Toto Qilin remembered what Aize said.

"If I could beat you, your expression wouldn't be as heavy as it was just now, right?"

For some reason, these words kept echoing in Toto Kirin's heart.

It has not dissipated for a long time...

…………

Night soon fell.

The students of Xingdaokan Academy don’t seem to be very keen on nightlife. I don’t know if it’s because they have to go to class the next day, but after nightfall, basically no one hangs around outside.

This is also related to access control.

Once night falls, many places in the Xingdaoguan Academy will automatically close and lock, and students cannot wander around even if they want to.

Of course, if we just ignore them, these places may not be able to stop the students from the Star Vein Generation.

For example, tonight...

"It's right here..."

In front of a classical building, the young man suddenly appeared here.

The young man was Aize.

He came here under the cover of night, stood in front of the building and watched for a long time before he sighed.

"Hope everything goes well."

Aize lowered his pace and rushed towards the classical building - the girls' dormitory.
