Baili Qingxue had just gotten off the Griffin and felt his legs were still a little wobbly. Even though he was a Heaven Elementalist, it was hard for him to adapt after experiencing a display of high-level riding technique without any prior training.

His usually pale lips were even paler than usual, and his clear and cold eyes were filled with the smug look on the young lady’s face.

The young lady was in a suit that was supposed to be fitting, but it was still a little too large for her skinny and frail body, so it did make one feel bad for her.

However, her bright expression exuded a vigorous amount of energy. Her bright eyes, her bright smile, her flying hair, and that carefree laughter. She was so full of energy and so dazzling that she looked like a naturally occurring bright light. Even those green spots on her face couldn’t block her poise.

His heart suddenly seemed to be beating a little quicker.

Baili Qingxue blinked several times in confusion. His long eyelashes looked like a butterfly’s wings fluttering and he looked so good.

He suppressed that unfamiliar feeling in his heart. His expression was distant and aloof, and his voice even more so. “I didn’t regret it.”

Yun Qingyan didn’t expect Baili Qingxue to answer her and she was caught by surprise. When she looked again all she saw was the back view of his white clothes flapping in the wind.

“Hur hur…” A mocking smile appeared on her lips.

He was really good at pretending. Did he think she didn’t notice how his legs were wobbly and how pale his face was? Ha!

“Congratulations, Mister Baili, for being the first one to reach the assembly point. I am the teacher-in-charge of the assembly point for this competition, Fang Gui, and according to the rules, you will get an additional ten points.” The teacher came forward to welcome Baili Qingxue with a big smile on his face. His smile was gentle and affectionate, and it even carried a tinge of respect.

He was a teacher at Qingxuan Academy, but his cultivation level wasn’t as high as Baili Qingxue’s. He was now faced with someone who was destined to become an extremely powerful fighter in the future, so of course, he had to be respectful towards Baili Qingxue.

“On top of that, Mister Baili, you’ve also broken the record the school has for the shortest flight time, so you will get another additional 20 points as a reward.” Fang Gui’s smile was practically blooming. His eyes were filled with nothing but Baili Qingxue’s aloof elegance and his pure white image.

As for the useless Yun Qingyan in black who had no Elemental Power at all and was as ugly as a monster? Too bad, he was blind to her and couldn’t see her at all.

“What the hell?! I was the one who rode the Griffin, so how could Baili Qingxue get all the credit for it?” Yun Qingyan thought to herself.

Yun Qingyan frowned hard and walked over to stand next to Baili Qingxue. She waved a skinny and sallow hand in front of Fang Gui, who didn’t bother himself with her and continued to look at Baili Qingxue with a big smile.

“Mister Baili, stretch out your points bangle and I’ll add points for you.” Fang Gui even nodded in a very pleased manner and said with a comforting look on his face, “Mister Baili, you are truly the top genius of Qingxuan Academy. Your cultivation level is so high and even your riding skills are top-notch. I’m really envious! Qingxuan Academy is going to count on you for the next inter-school competition!”

Yun Qingyan had been completely ignored, so her eyes grew cold and she waved her hand in front of Fang Gui again. Her clear voice sounded as chilling as a fountain that had frozen over, “Hey! Teacher Fang, don’t you think you’ve left someone out?”

Fang Gui raised an eyebrow and glanced disdainfully at Yun Qingyan. “Only the rider gets the points, the pillion rider isn’t eligible to receive anything.”

After saying that, he glanced at Yun Qingyan from head to toe with great contempt in his eyes. “Mister Baili was kind enough to help you and ride with you, so you should be happy enough that you’re the first to reach the assembly point. Don’t be too greedy.”

He had never liked this useless Yun Qingyan from the beginning. Since when did Qingxuan Academy start taking in useless bums like her who couldn’t even cultivate Elemental Power? She was pulling down Qingxuan Academy’s standards at all sorts of competitions.

Alas, unfortunately for him, Yun Qingyan had a short temper.

The smile on Yun Qingyan’s face grew brighter, but her aura became even colder than before. She smiled faintly, “In that case, Teacher Fang, please give me those points that belong to me.”
