Chapter 176: School Beauty and Dream Lover?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After a friendly and unobstructed question-and-answer session, Lin Yan turned around and glanced at the five people from Fenghe City. Their bodies trembled and they immediately raised their heads and puffed out their chests.
“Are they telling the truth?”
“Yes!”
“That’s right!”
“They’re not lying!”
Lin Yan nodded and gestured for the five people from Fenghe City to carry the five people from Qingliang City away.
The five people from Fenghe City seemed to have been pardoned. They carried the five people from Qingliang City and fled as if they were hugging their loved ones.
Lin Yan and Ning Xiaohui looked at each other and saw the extreme speechlessness on each other’s faces.
Just as Lin Yan had thought, these geniuses from Qingliang City and Fenghe City did not understand Liu Lanqing’s strength at all.
In fact, their contempt for Liu Lanqing came from the tacit approval of Huo Qing and the others.
Five days ago, after Huo Qing and the others were humiliated in public, he really couldn’t take it lying down, so he kept finding ways to make up for it in private. He said that Liu Lanqing’s strength was actually average. She was just relying on her status as the acting leader of Ding’an City, so she was unscrupulous and used her power and background to suppress them until they didn’t dare to resist.
If Liu Lanqing didn’t have this skin of power, they would beat her up until she couldn’t take care of herself!
Of course, that was not the original words, but after Lin Yan summarized it, it was more or less the gist.
In fact, he was just bragging in front of these juniors, but due to the tacit agreement of the other inspectors, none of them exposed him.
In that case, a portion of the geniuses would really believe their words!
They really thought that Liu Lanqing’s domineeringness came from her identity and not her strength.
That was why there was such a misunderstanding today.
“However, Issuer Liu might really be in trouble!”
Ning Xiaohui looked nonchalant. “You’re saying that the prefecture capital is sending people to take over Ding’an City? Isn’t that just right? Managing Ding’an City was a problem to begin with. Issuer Liu had no choice but to take over. Now that someone is coming, we can return to our job in the Demon Suppression Division!”
Lin Yan shook his head. It wasn’t that simple.
From what Qing Liang and Feng He had told him, it was obvious that the conflict five days ago was an open scheme for Liu Lanqing. It was specially designed for the people from the prefecture capital to take over Ding’an City.
However, Ning Xiaohui was right. Liu Lanqing was indeed eager for the prefecture capital to send someone to take over Ding’an City.
Then why did these people do such an unnecessary thing and even cause such a thing?
Wouldn’t it be better to just send someone over?
Unless they felt that Liu Lanqing wouldn’t agree, or that there were any other changes that would cause Liu Lanqing to disagree.
That was why they had to find such an excuse…
At this moment, a loud bang suddenly sounded.
Lin Yan and Ning Xiaohui turned around in shock and saw that in the direction of the Demon Suppression Division’s residence, a scarlet flame soared hundreds of feet into the sky, like a huge fiery red lotus blooming. Even from a district away, they could feel a heat wave.
However, in the next moment, a biting cold and white frost aura seemed to be alive. It climbed up the huge fiery red lotus and actually froze the flames that surged high in the air!
“Crackle—”
It was as if cold water had been splashed on a red-hot iron bar. A large ball of scorching steam burst into the air and expanded, forming a low air cloud that enveloped the upper part of the inner city.
The frost and flames had already disappeared. It was obvious that they were evenly matched.
“Something happened!”
Lin Yan’s expression changed slightly, and he instantly flashed out. “I’ll go take a look first! Inform the others!”
The Nine Districts of the inner city were close to each other to begin with. With Lin Yan’s speed, he could see the location of the Demon Suppression Division’s residence in almost a few breaths.
From afar, Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief. The Demon Suppression Division’s residence was safe and sound, so Xiaozhi and Senior Sister Chen should be fine.
After taking a few more steps, he saw that at the entrance of the Demon Suppression Division, a large space was divided into red and white. Two people stood in the middle of the two colors and were facing each other.
One of them was Liu Lanqing, and the other was actually a peerless woman. However, her temperament was completely different from Liu Lanqing’s. She was as cold as frost, like a high and mighty fairy.
That woman’s skin was as fair as snow. Her perfect and exquisite face was so beautiful that it could move one’s soul. Her eyes were as bright as the stars, carrying a trace of independent coldness.
Her black hair hung down to her slender waist like a soft cloud. Every strand of her hair was distinct, and every strand of hair was mixed with a trace of silver, adding to her strange nobility.
However, what attracted Lin Yan’s attention the most was her strange outfit.
Actually, it wasn’t right to say that it was strange.
She was wearing a snow-white corset dress that accentuated her perfect figure. There was even a small circle of lace on the edge of the dress.
Her calves were partially exposed, and she was wearing a pair of simple and exquisite white hollowed-out heelless shoes, revealing her round and full toes. Coupled with the two round white jade earrings on her earlobes, she looked even more intimate and graceful on the basis of her cold and noble temperament.
If she were to walk around the university campus in this outfit, coupled with one or two books, she would definitely be the dream lover of countless young men!
But those were all memories of his previous life…
Lin Yan’s entire body trembled, and the muscles on his face trembled uncontrollably. This outfit was almost similar to the clothes he remembered in his previous life. In Ding’an City, no matter how he looked at it, it was too out of place!
Between Liu Lanqing and her, one was as hot as fire, and the other was as cold as ice. Even the ground under their feet had clear marks left behind by the collision of fire and ice, as if water and fire could not be compatible.
Behind the white clothed woman stood a group of strangers that similarly wore out-of-place clothes and had indescribable expressions.
The clothes were tailored in the right proportions, and the materials were soft and comfortable. They unconsciously evoked his memories from his previous life.
Lin Yan thought of the gold-framed glasses Guo Fan had worn back then and felt awkward. Now that he thought about it, these were not decorations of this era!
Footsteps sounded. One after another, people were attracted by the commotion here, including the inspectors, many genius seeds, Qin Xiang, Xiao Ye, and the others.
All the inspectors stayed far away from the two of them and did not approach the battlefield. They vaguely stood behind the beautiful woman in white.
As for Qin Xiang and Xiao Ye of the Demon Suppression Division, for some reason, their eyes flickered slightly. They did not stand on Liu Lanqing’s side, so Liu Lanqing looked like she was alone as she stood facing many people.
This atmosphere isn’t good… Lin Yan took a deep breath and suppressed the helplessness and shock in his heart. He slowly walked out and stood behind Liu Lanqing.
It was not that he wanted to die for Liu Lanqing, but… the entrance of the Demon Suppression Division was behind Liu Lanqing!
Xiaozhi and Senior Sister Chen were still inside!
This place was close to the door. If there was really any problem, he could immediately turn around and rush in to take Xiaozhi and the others away!
This action naturally caused many inspectors and others to be shocked and mocking, but no one dared to say anything.
Liu Lanqing naturally didn’t know what Lin Yan was thinking. She turned around and looked at Lin Yan with a much gentler gaze.
She turned around and her gaze collided with the cold and beautiful woman again. The atmosphere became even more murderous.
Just as they were facing each other and their auras were about to overlap to the peak, the beautiful woman suddenly smiled and said softly, “All Qing, you’ve found a good subordinate!”
The opposing and hostile atmosphere instantly fused with this smile, turning into a warm and harmonious atmosphere..
