âShe managed to clear the examination too?â
Upon seeing the key Yin Daifen was holding, the expressions of the crowd around turned slightly complicated.
Fu Feiyue, Long Xiaoxiao, and Yu Yin were still fine because they had managed to clear the examination, but Yu Hong, Bao Yue, and Kui Wudi found the situation extremely hard to accept.
Yu Hong even turned to question the old woman, âThis isnât fair! How can this be allowed? Why is it that only one of us can clear the examination whereas the two of them are allowed clear the examination together?â
âWho told you that the two of them cleared the examination together?â the old woman replied with a cold glint in her eyes.
Feeling the gaze on him, Yu Hongâs body trembled fearfully, and he quickly fell silent. A moment later, he turned to Chu Feng and asked, âChu Feng, didnât you say that you cleared the examination? Whereâs your key then?â
âThatâs right, little benefactor. Whereâs your key?â Long Xiaoxiao asked as well.
âI did manage to clear the examination. My key is over there.â
Chu Feng pointed at the key that was in Yin Daifenâs hand before continuing on, âMiss Yinâs elder sister is my friend, and Miss Yin told me about just how important the training is to her. So, I have my slot over to her.â
âThis...â
Everyone was stunned to hear those words. They didnât think that he would actually give such a precious opportunity over to Yin Daifen.
In the first place, just the Godwish Pearl that they had used to get here already cost a massive fortune. In their view, no one in the right mind would give away such an opportunity easily.
The one who felt the most conflicted about this situation at this moment was no other than Long Xiaoxiao. She was, after all, the person who gave Chu Feng his Godwish Pearl.
However, she chose not to say anything at all. She simply lowered her head quietly. Yet, even her silence felt particularly sorrowful.
âYoung master Chu Feng, you mustnât spout nonsense. I, Yin Daifen, cleared the trial with my own strength. Why are you speaking as if you were the one who sacrificed yourself for me?â
Who could have thought Yin Daifen would turn around and mock Chu Feng at this moment?
She refused to admit that the violet key in her hand was something which Chu Feng had given to her.
âYin Daifen, you sure are impressive. I didnât think that you would be so unrepentant even after the chances I have given you. Very well, I, Chu Feng, will remember this!â Chu Feng looked at Yin Daifen as he spoke.
âWhat a joke! What do you have to remember? You are just a sore loser!â Yin Daifen replied.
âChu Feng, just how shameless can you get? Losing my junior isnât embarrassingâyou came from a humble background, so no one can blame you for your shallow knowledgeâbut donât you think itâs embarrassing for you to insist that you gave away your slot to my junior after you lost? Do you think that anyone would believe such nonsense? Thereâs no sane person who would do something like that!â Fu Feiyue berated Chu Feng coldly.
âHmph! Princess Xiaoxiao, you should see the true colors of the man whom you fawn so much over for yourself!â Yu Hong turned to Long Xiaoxiao and said.
But at this moment, the silent Long Xiaoxiao suddenly raised her head and directed a sharp glare toward Yu Hong and Fu Feiyue, saying, âShut your mouth. What rights do you have to question little benefactor?â
Following that, she turned to Yin Daifen and said, âYin Daifen, you sure are a shameless person. Itâs out of kindness that little benefactor gave his slot to you, but you actually refused to admit it. One day, karma will strike down a vile woman like you!â
Despite having seen nothing at all, Long Xiaoxiao still chose to unconditionally believe Chu Fengâs words.
âThis... You are really blinded by him!â
Seeing how Long Xiaoxiao blindly trusted Chu Feng, Fu Feiyue and the others felt incensed yet jealous of Chu Feng.
Regardless of whether Chu Feng had really cleared the examination and given his slot to Yin Daifen or not, just the truth which Long Xiaoxiao had toward Chu Feng was something that was enough to make them feel deeply envious.
Long Xiaoxiao was not just the princess of the Dragon Clan. The fact that she had defeated Yu Hong and received a slot for herself was more than enough to prove your capability, and on top of that, she had a ravishing appearance as well.
She was far more likable as a person compared to Yin Daifen.
Just how much good karma did Chu Feng accrue in his previous life to earn the steadfast trust of such a talented and lofty woman?
âXiaoxiao, give your key to me.â
All of a sudden, Chu Feng turned to Long Xiaoxiao and demanded.
âAh?â
Hearing those words, everyone widened their eyes in shock. They couldnât help but wonder if they were hearing things.
âAre you willing to give your key to me?â Chu Feng asked again.
âChu Feng, just how shameless can you get? After failing to secure a slot for yourself, you actually still have the cheek to ask Princess Xiaoxiao to give her key to you. Thatâs something that she earned with her own effort!â
âHow can there be such a man in the world? You canât just exploit Princess Xiaoxiaoâs feelings for you to bully her in such a manner!â
Yu Hong, Yu Yin, and Fu Feiyue berated Chu Feng furiously.
âBrother Chu Feng, this is... really going a bit overboard.â
Even Bao Yue and Kui Wudi couldnât stand watching this. Even though their words werenât as critical as that from the others, they still expressed their disapproval of Chu Fengâs actions.
âAlright, little benefactor. Iâll give it to you.â
Yet, a shocking sight happened. Long Xiaoxiao actually entrusted her key into Chu Fengâs hand without any hesitation. On top of that, there wasnât the slightest hint of reluctance on her face. She was doing it all with a smile on her lips.
âMiss Long, are you a fool? How can you give your key to him for real?!â
âJust what kind of sorcery did he cast over you that you are going to such an extent for him?â
Yu Hong and the others simply couldnât understand why Long Xiaoxiao was doing this.
âYou canât imagine the lengths which little benefactor has gone to help me in the past. Itâs not something that any of you would ever be able to do for another person. Heâs my benefactor, a person whom Iâm indebted to for life. So long as little benefactor wills so, Iâll even give my life up for him, let alone a mere key!â Long Xiaoxiao told the crowd.
Speaking up to this point, she even released her oppressive pressure to show just how seriously she took this matter.
âThe rest of you should zip up your mouths. I wonât stand still if you dare to speak another word of insult toward little benefactor!â Long Xiaoxiao warned the crowd.
Hearing those words, the others fell silent.
Putting aside the others, even Fu Feiyue was feeling envious of Chu Feng at the moment.
Long Xiaoxiao was an outstanding woman who wouldnât pale in comparison to his Junior Yin Daifen at all, and he knew that Yin Daifen would never treat him in the same way Long Xiaoxiao treated Chu Feng.
They were all men, so why was it that they were so different from one another?
âLong Xiaoxiao, do you really intend to give up your key for him?â
It was at this moment that the old woman suddenly asked Long Xiaoxiao.
âElder, I, Long Xiaoxiao, am willing to entrust my rights to undergo the training to Chu Feng,â Long Xiaoxiao replied earnestly.
âHah, what deep feelings you have for one another! Since thatâs the case, Iâll fulfill you then. The two of you can leave together with one another!â the old woman replied.
Realizing the intention of the old woman, Long Xiaoxiao exclaimed nervously, âE-elder! I have already given my slot to Chu Feng, but youâre still asking him to leave despite that?â
She was willing to leave. From the moment Chu Feng made that request of her, she had already resolved herself for this.
However, she couldnât accept seeing Chu Feng leave together with her.
âWho here told you that he wouldnât have to leave just because you gave your key to him? Iâll only say it once more, the two of you can leave together. The same goes for you, you, and you as well.â
The old woman pointed to Yu Hong, Bao Yue, and Kui Wudi as well, indicating that they were all going to be eliminated.
âHahaha, Chu Feng! You must have thought that you were smart. You tried to exploit Miss Longâs feelings for you to acquire her key so that you can undergo the training too, but who could have thought that itâll all be for naught. On top of that, you even pulled Miss Long down with you!â Yu Hong sneered in disdain.
Yu Yin and Fu Feiyue were also gazing at Chu Feng in scorn.
As if that wasnât enough, Yin Daifen was also sneering by the side too.
While others might not know better, she knew full well that her slot was given to her by Chu Feng. Yet, she didnât reciprocate the favor at all. Instead, she even mocked Chu Feng, saying, âYouâre reaping what you sow!â
Chu Feng didnât pay any heed to how the crowd was reacting at all. Instead, he turned to Long Xiaoxiao and asked, âXiaoxiao, do you regret giving your key to me?â
