Super Gene Hunting Ground-Chapter 1020 - 1014: To Win One Heart, Grow Old Together
Long Jing and Xiao Ling gazed at each other,
Yang Xiao stood between the two,
Xiao Ling’s hand intimately hooked around Yang Xiao’s arm.
And another gorgeous woman, Yelu Caiyun, stood watching the three.
The scene was extraordinarily peculiar,
Yang Xiao felt a chill on his back, and cold sweat began to emerge.
Long Jing and Xiao Ling both maintained their poise, each sharing a slight smile, but both their gazes swiftly scanned the other from head to toe.
Both possessed breathtaking beauty, upon seeing each other’s appearance and temperament, admiration filled their hearts.
The saying goes that heroes appreciate each other, and beauties don’t necessarily have to be jealous.
Of course, both felt a sudden jolt in their hearts.
Xiao Ling was fortunate to have understood the issues between her and Yang Xiao last night, as long as Yang Xiao was by her side now, he was hers, and she was in an undefeatable position.
She didn’t need to act out to force Yang Xiao away from anyone, nor did she deign to do so.
Xiao Ling now intimately clung to Yang Xiao’s arm, declaring her relationship with him, as well as her status, achieving victory without battle.
The atmosphere on site was quite eerie, even Yelu Caiyun realized, before entering the fray, she had already become collateral damage,
luckily she wasn’t deeply involved, otherwise, she wouldn’t have stood a chance against Long Jing and Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling advised herself not to panic, to be composed, graceful, beautiful.
"Yang Xiao, aren’t you going to introduce this beauty to me?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao awkwardly chuckled and glanced at Long Jing:
"Ah, let me introduce you, this is Miss Long Jing from Heavenly Dragon Academy, and this is Xiao Ling, the instructor from Flying Leopard Academy."
Long Jing and Xiao Ling clearly unsatisfied with Yang Xiao’s introduction, as he hadn’t explained the relationships like friends or girlfriends.
Their gazes at Yang Xiao simultaneously grew sharp, like two swords ready to pierce Yang Xiao’s heart.
Yang Xiao felt sweat on his forehead and involuntarily trembled.
He glanced at Xiao Ling, then at Long Jing.
"Haha, well, Miss Long Jing is someone I knew back on Earth... a good friend,"
Yang Xiao found his words difficult, akin to swallowing stones.
To introduce Long Jing as a "good friend," would she agree?
We have shared intimacy, I bore you a son, can such a good friend exist? Do let me know if you find more!
Long Jing looked at Yang Xiao, a layer of frost slowly covering her face, her gaze like an Ice Sword; Yang Xiao shivered just looking at it.
Xiao Ling lightly smiled, her grip tightening slightly on Yang Xiao’s arm as she said:
"Oh, so someone from your past, how come I’ve never heard you mention her? Pleasure to meet you!"
With the enchanting smile, as a victor, Xiao Ling reached out to Long Jing.
Long Jing’s gaze at Yang Xiao felt like two swords,
If looks could kill, Yang Xiao would’ve died many times over.
For you, I was confined by my father, bore you a son, disrupted the alliance between Great Dragon Empire and Youming Empire, nearly leading to Great Dragon Empire’s ruin,
I sacrificed so much, only to be regarded as a "good friend,"
Doesn’t your conscience hurt?
And your tenderness two days ago at the inn, where has it gone?
Long Jing naturally understood that the beauty clinging to Yang Xiao is his current girlfriend, Yang Xiao would not introduce herself as the loved one in front of her.
Long Jing shifted her gaze from Yang Xiao to Xiao Ling, suddenly smiling charmingly, extending her hand to grasp Xiao Ling’s.
"Hello, so you’re Master Xiao, do instructors holding students’ arms a trend in Flying Leopard Academy now?"
However refined Long Jing’s demeanor or noble her status, she couldn’t help but become angry over this matter, unable to control her jealousy, she retorted at Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling’s smile froze instantly, looking at Yang Xiao.
This moment demanded explanation from Yang Xiao,
"Xiao Ling is my girlfriend,"
In the academy, it’s normal for instructors to date students.
But would Yang Xiao dare say it?
Both women shared intimacy, Long Jing received the title of a good friend, Xiao Ling only got the "instructor" status.
Yang Xiao now wished an earthquake would strike, hoping a chasm would open beneath his feet for him to fall into, thus escaping the awkwardness.
Yang Xiao glanced at Xiao Ling, forced a bitter smile,
"Ah, this..."
Xiao Ling hoped to hear Yang Xiao call her his girlfriend or similar, but, after two sighs, Yang Xiao said no more.
Xiao Ling’s blush instantly turned cold,
then a sharp pain shot through Yang Xiao’s arm.
Xiao Ling, while holding Yang Xiao’s arm, mercilessly pinched him.
The amount of hatred Xiao Ling felt matched the strength in her grip.
As Xiao Ling’s fingers tightened, Yang Xiao winced, his facial muscles contorting, nearly crying out.
Yelu Caiyun couldn’t resist anymore and turned away laughing quietly.
Though agitated, Xiao Ling hesitated to pinch further and released her hand in frustration.
Long Jing cast a lingering glance at Yang Xiao, feeling somewhat comforted inside, at least Xiao Ling hadn’t received Yang Xiao’s public acknowledgement, considering the equal treatment somewhat satisfying,
Additionally, Xiao Ling pinched Yang Xiao. Although she felt a sense of relief inside, she also felt a twinge of heartache.
Long Jing cursed herself for being soft-hearted,
and her gaze towards Xiao Ling became much gentler.
Yelu Caiyun finally did something that made Yang Xiao deeply grateful,
as Yelu Caiyun suddenly shouted:
"Let’s go take our seats, the banquet is about to start. I’ll lead you all over there."
Yang Xiao quickly said:
"Yes, yes, you all must be hungry. Let’s sit together, there are already many people seated there, we can eat and chat as we go."
Long Jing smiled faintly,
"I’m not eating, you all take your time."
After saying this, she glanced at Yang Xiao, and turned around, leaving resolutely.
Yang Xiao stood dumbfounded, watching Long Jing’s departing figure, unsure of what to do. He took a step forward and then froze, awkwardly withdrawing his step after glancing at Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling loosened her hold on Yang Xiao’s hand,
"I have some official work at school to handle, so I’ll leave first."
After speaking, she too left without hesitation.
"Ah...."
Yang Xiao called out towards Xiao Ling’s retreating figure, but she didn’t pause in the slightest, heading straight towards the door.
Yang Xiao sighed as he looked at Yelu Caiyun, shrugging self-deprecatingly with a bitter smile.
Yelu Caiyun, however, laughed heartlessly and said:
"Haha... Yang Xiao, you’re in trouble now, no one can save you."
Yang Xiao scratched his head, hesitated for a moment, and then walked towards the outside of the auditorium.
"Where are you going?"
"I’m going to die!"
"..."
After taking just a few steps, a figure suddenly floated up beside Yang Xiao and grabbed his hand.
"Hey, Yang Xiao, come quickly. Dean Xinghai and Dean Long Kui named you to join them for a meal, I’ve been looking everywhere for you."
When Yang Xiao looked, it was the director of academic affairs, Zhu Peng.
"I, I have something right now and can’t go."
"What could be so urgent? I’m telling you, this is a rare opportunity, come with me quickly, everything else can wait."
Zhu Peng dragged Yang Xiao towards a large dining table in the center of the hall.
Seated at this table were the main leaders and mentors of the two academies.
Xinghai waved to Yang Xiao,
"Come, Yang Xiao, sit next to me."
The affection was evident.
Yang Xiao had no choice but to steel himself and walk over, first greeting the dean and other leaders before respectfully taking his seat.
This meal was just a formal ceremony, everyone exchanged pleasantries without any substantial focus.
Halfway through, Dean Xinghai and Dean Long Kui had drunk quite a bit, and started boasting. Yang Xiao found an excuse to use the restroom and left the banquet hall.
After leaving, Yang Xiao headed directly towards Dormitory 9 at the academy’s guest house.
The people from Heavenly Dragon Academy were all in the banquet hall at this time, with two guards standing at the door. When they saw Yang Xiao approach, they immediately stopped him and said:
"Young Master Yang, are you looking for Miss Long Jing?"
Yang Xiao was stunned, then nodded.
These past few days, he had come here every day to find Long Jing, so the guards at the door already knew him.
One of the guards took out a letter and handed it to Yang Xiao, saying:
"Miss Long Jing instructed us to give you this letter if you came. If you didn’t come, we were to destroy it when we left Flying Leopard Academy."
Yang Xiao was shocked and asked:
"Miss Long Jing, she’s not in the room?"
"She left through the academy’s transmission array half an hour ago."
"Left? Where to?"
"Of course, she went back to the Great Dragon Empire."
Yang Xiao suddenly felt a surge of panic and urgently asked:
"Can I catch up with her now?"
"It’s impossible. She used the transmission array, and we don’t know her exact destination. It’s better if you read the letter first."
Yang Xiao quickly opened the envelope in his hand, pulled out a sheet of white paper, and read the few lines written on it:
"I wish to have one person’s heart, to be together till old age,
If you have a change of heart, we shall not meet again."
At the bottom was a single word: Jing
Yang Xiao stared at the message on the letter, his mind a blank.
