Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Xu Qianqian Gets Provoked!

"Oh, isn’t that Miss Xu from the Xu Family? If I recall correctly, the Xu Family still doesn’t dictate what the Shang Family does, do they?"

Having bottled up a bellyful of anger, Shang Qing was not afraid of the Xu Family.

Although the Xu Family was powerful, they could not match the financial resources of the Shang Family.

Shang Qing didn’t care, but Qin Zhantian had to offer a smile and said, "Miss Xu, this is just for fun, we’re just joining in the excitement!"

"Little prince," Xu Qianqian suddenly smiled coquettishly, fully aware of her own status in the academy, to say nothing of today, when these martial artists, led by Qin Zhantian earlier, had stopped Lu Chen because of her.

"With a life-and-death battle going on above, isn’t it a bit inappropriate for you guys to be betting down here?"

"Miss Xu," Qin Zhantian subconsciously took two steps back. He had no desire to stay away from Xu Qianqian, but at this moment, he also felt a hint of foreboding, believing that maintaining distance was the right choice.

"We’re just here to watch the excitement, that’s all."

The other martial artists around couldn’t grasp the nuances of the relationship and instead, a young martial artist called out loudly, "Miss Xu, why don’t you place a bet too?"

"Yeah, Miss Xu, with your brilliant talent and studying under the same master as Wu Chiren. I heard you also invited Chen Lu to dine today. Miss Xu, please tell us, whom do you favor?"

"Right, Miss Xu might be the person who understands them the best in the academy, do you have any insider information, Miss Xu?"

A group of people shouted and hollered, foiling Xu Qianqian’s plan on the spot.

She was extremely displeased but wanted to maintain her persona within the academy, so she could only force a couple of laughs and said, "I’m not that familiar with Chen Lu. We’re all students of the Heavenly Book Academy, and I don’t wish for them to fight!"

At that moment, another martial artist squeezed his way in from outside, "Miss Xu, couldn’t it be that they are fighting out of jealousy over you?"

This question immediately piqued the interest of many.

Indeed, they only knew it was a life-and-death duel but had no idea what had prompted the fight.

Wu Chiren’s admiration for Xu Qianqian was common knowledge, and Xu Qianqian had never publicly taken a stand.

Secondly, someone just mentioned that Xu Qianqian had asked Lu Chen to dine with her!

Could it be that this was what prompted Wu Chiren to challenge Lu Chen to a life-and-death duel?

Suddenly, everyone was abuzz with discussion.

Xu Qianqian clenched her teeth and squeezed her way to Lu Chen’s side.

"Chen Lu, can you give up the life-and-death duel? Even if Wu Chiren was in the wrong today, wasn’t it a bit too much for you to initiate a life-and-death duel?"

The only thing she could think of was Wu Chiren finding Lu Chen, wanting Lu Chen to apologize to her.

Lu Chen was recommended to enter the academy by Yu Qingqing, which indicated he had strength and was unaware of Wu Chiren’s prowess!

Now, the Xu Family had ordered her to gather information about the Black Jiao Snake. If Lu Chen died, even if there was a Black Jiao Snake, it would likely fall into the hands of Li Mingru!

As a result, the Polar Treasure Meeting would fail to acquire the Black Jiao Snake, and naturally, the blame would fall on her!

At this moment, Xu Qianqian hated both Wu Chiren and Lu Chen to death in her heart, yet she had no solution!

Apart from stopping it, she had no other choice!

At that time, Wu Chiren arrived!

"Qian Qian, why are you here?"

Seeing Xu Qianqian’s body almost pressed against Lu Chen, he nearly ground his back teeth to powder!

"Wu Chiren, I command you, it’s not too late to refuse the challenge now!"

Xu Qianqian suddenly turned around and said loudly.

This scene naturally caught everyone’s attention.

The main parties were here.

But this time, a third person intervened.

And listening to what Xu Qianqian said, and the expression on her face.

Could it really be because of Xu Qianqian that this started?

Not just the martial artists, even Wu Chiren thought the same. Normally, he wouldn’t refuse any of Xu Qianqian’s requests.

But this time, his heart ached wrenchingly as he gritted his teeth and said, "Qian Qian, after I kill him, I’ll apologize to you!"

Having said that, he jumped onto the platform and called out loudly, "Chen Lu, you chose the life-and-death battle yourself, don’t blame me for being in the Marrow Refinement Realm and bullying you!"

Lu Chen flashed a grin, suddenly turned around, and shouted toward the Shang Qing side, "Qin Zhantian, are my three Spirit Stones bet on the option that Wu Chiren will die?"

At those words, the entire place was in an uproar!

This newcomer was so certain of his victory?

And what’s more, he had wagered three Spirit Stones, which were worth three thousand Yuan Stones!
