Super Gene Hunting Ground-Chapter 1018 - 1013: Left Eye Twitching—Omen of Misfortune
Yang Xiao walked in and saw a few dishes on the table under a big tree, with two meal boxes on the ground.
Xiao Ling and Elder Ye stood by the side.
Seeing Yang Xiao enter, Elder Ye quickly moved to the table, grabbed two pieces of meat and put them in his mouth, then poured himself a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp, looking very pleased.
Yang Xiao noticed Xiao Ling's troubled expression and asked:
"Xiao Ling, what's wrong? Have you eaten yet?"
"I haven't, and you...why are you back so late?"
Her words carried a bit of resentment.
Yang Xiao held Xiao Ling's hand, led her to the table, and said:
"Let's eat together then. I'm hungry too. I was chatting over there for a while, and then I just wandered around the academy."
Yang Xiao wasn't candid enough to tell Xiao Ling that he had been chatting with Long Jing all along,
Having encountered many women, he had some experience regarding women's jealousy.
Concerning the issue with Long Jing, Yang Xiao didn't feel he did anything wrong. After all, he knew Long Jing first, and their relationship was special. Although they were separated by fate, he never expected to meet her here again.
For Yang Xiao to ignore Long Jing as if nothing had happened in the past was something he just couldn't do.
Yang Xiao was currently in a very awkward position. He couldn't abandon Long Jing, but he also had to face Xiao Ling. He could only put things off for now and find a suitable opportunity to explain later.
Xiao Ling glanced at Yang Xiao,
"How is Long Jing's injury?"
"Hmm, it's not life-threatening. After a few days of rest, she should be okay."
"Oh, that's good then."
Xiao Ling initially wanted to ask more but suddenly remembered Elder Ye's earlier words to her and held back.
So she sat down to eat with Yang Xiao.
Elder Ye left a few dishes in the meal boxes for them, which they now took out to fill the table. The three of them poured wine and toasted to celebrate Yang Xiao's victory.
After the meal, Xiao Ling pouted, asking Yang Xiao to walk her back to her dorm. As they strolled through the campus under the night sky, they returned to Xiao Ling's dormitory. After a passionate encounter, Yang Xiao stayed the night.
Lying in Yang Xiao's arms, Xiao Ling suddenly realized that regardless of Yang Xiao's relationship with Long Jing, Yang Xiao was currently by her side, in her bed, and she lay in his arms. That was better than anything!
She was the one who truly possessed Yang Xiao!
Even though she despised fighting for it, she could still work hard to protect her love.
Xiao Ling, being someone who dared to love and hate, once she figured certain things out, all inner turmoil disappeared.
Having something real was more effective than all sorts of doubts!
...
The next day's competition was for the Empire Middle Level Realm group. This group had no advantage for Flying Leopard Academy, and they lost all three matches, even skipping the afternoon's resurrection challenge match.
The third day's competition was for the Empire Level Advanced realm group, and once again, Flying Leopard Academy lost.
However, this no longer mattered. Flying Leopard Academy's greatest achievement this time was defeating Heavenly Dragon Academy in the Primary Level group, ending a decade-long streak of losses.
Moreover, this victory also earned them the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword. Such a fruitful result completely overshadowed the defeats in the next two matches. If the story spread, people would only remember Heavenly Dragon Academy's failure in the competition and how their Institute Divine Weapon was lost to Flying Leopard Academy.
These past two days, besides attending the competitions, Yang Xiao took the time to visit Long Jing and chat.
By the third day, Long Jing had mostly recovered and could move about freely.
On the fourth day, the academy organized a genetic evolution seminar. The deans and mentors from both academies gave speeches one after another, exchanging and discussing successful methods and experiences in genetic evolution training,
making this seminar harmonious and friendly, clearing away the tense atmosphere of the past few days, marking a perfect conclusion.
In the afternoon, a banquet was held to celebrate the successful conclusion of this exchange competition.
As a competitor and the most sensational figure of this competition, Yang Xiao naturally attended the banquet. He even took a bath and changed into new clothes for the occasion.
Xiao Ling said that she needed to welcome a batch of new students into the academy in the following days, so she didn't accompany Yang Xiao during the day and didn't appear when the banquet started.
The banquet took place in the academy's grand hall, attended by nearly a hundred instructors and students, all high-ranking members of Flying Leopard Academy and participating students.
Yelu Caiyun, being one of the academy's beauties, also attended the banquet, in charge of some hospitality and logistics, serving as a beautiful embellishment.
However, since her conversation with Yang Xiao last time, Yelu Caiyun completely changed her attitude from just being a decoration and started actively cultivating, no longer clinging to the powerful and wealthy.
This banquet was an excellent opportunity for the academy's high-ranking members and some outstanding senior students to connect with powerful and wealthy geniuses,
Yet, Yelu Caiyun behaved with utmost propriety, showing not even a hint of coquettishness, engaging only in polite exchanges without attempting to seduce anyone proactively.
Yang Xiao, indeed, looked at Yelu Caiyun in a new light and praised her greatly.
Yang Xiao walked over to Yelu Caiyun and complimented:
"Caiyun, you look truly beautiful today, and your demeanor is excellent."
Yelu Caiyun smiled charmingly and teased:
"Do I catch your eye?"
"..."
"Look how scared you are. Oh, by the way, you should keep teaching me ancient martial cultivation. I've hit some bottlenecks in my cultivation of the Heavenly Silkworm Technique lately, so drop by when you have time to guide me."
