The Emperor Wants To Marry The Doctor

Once he said this, the crowd fell into dead silence.

Everyone looked at Rong Xiu with a strange gaze.

Jiang Ping was so angry that he laughed as he sized Rong Xiu up mockingly. "Just by yourself?"

He had already heard that the new Rong Xiu was a demigod when he was still in his teens.

Just this talent and skill alone could surpass most students in the academy, but these people didn't include Jiang Ping. That was because he was a genuine true god!

Soft whispers started to sound in the surroundings. "Is Rong Xiu crazy? How dare he challenge Jiang Ping?"

"Who doesn't know that Jiang Ping just broke through to become a true god last month and that his skills have greatly strengthened? Even though it's outstanding for Rong Xiu to have broken through and become a demigod at this age, his cultivation level is still lower…"

"Even though there is only a one word difference between a 'true god' and a 'demigod', the strength difference is between heaven and earth. This is the newcomer's third day in the academy, yet he dared to do this. Youth really knows no fear!"

"When Jiang Ping was a demigod, he was already fifth on the Qing Yun Ranking. Now that he has broken through again, he has the potential to become first. These two newcomers could offend anyone, but they had to offend the strongest one."

…

When Shangguan Yue heard this, her ears moved. She lightly coughed and leaned toward Rong Xiu. "Oh, Brother Xiu, did I cause trouble for you?"

The young girl's clear and sweet voice swiped across his ears, with a hint of combat intent.

Rong Xiu raised his brows slightly, tilted his head to look at her, and said with a slightly hoarse voice, "What did you call me?"

Shangguan Yue raised her chin and smiled like a flower. "Brother Xiu."

During the whole way, the two of them had been addressing each other with their names. But after hearing that those people misunderstood they were siblings, Shangguan Yue found it funny.

She used the name 'Rong Yue' because she was too lazy to think of another name. She didn't know such a mistake would be made.

However, when Jiang Ping challenged her, she never thought that Rong Xiu would react faster than her. He stood before her with his tall figure and had an absolute protective stance.

Shangguan Yue blinked.

She was born distinguished and requested for perfection in many areas. Thus, the feeling of being protected was really extremely rare for her.

It was rather foreign, but… it seemed not bad?

Actually, she was not someone who easily got close to others. However, she already trusted Rong Xiu a lot after knowing him for a month or so. She even brought him along and depended on him in a way that even she was unclear about.

Seeing him stand up for her, she didn't feel that it was amiss after finding it strange for a moment. She readily accepted it.

In such a dangerous situation, she even had the mood to joke with him.

Even if the crowd all looked down on Rong Xiu and felt that his actions would cause trouble for himself, Shangguan Yue did not think so. Perhaps it was because she had seen Rong Xiu attack, so she was very confident in him—even if Jiang Ping's cultivation level was slightly higher.

Rong Xiu didn't speak as he looked into her eyes, and they seemed to darken.

Shangguan Yue pulled his sleeves and softly asked, "Brother Xiu, can you win?"

She always felt that Rong Xiu had tricks up his sleeves. Since he dared to accept it, he must have confidence.

However, the other party was not weak. After all, he was a true god…

Rong Xiu looked at her and smiled extremely faintly. "Just watch."

As he spoke, his gaze turned and landed on Jiang Ping.

His expression was especially calm, and his surrounding aura was composed. Not only did he lack the embarrassment and fear of going against a strong warrior, but there was even a hint of nonchalant smile on his lips, as if he was in a good mood.

He smiled and said, "Brother Xiu will stand up for you."

…

After a temporary silence, the crowd broke into an uproar.

Too arrogant!

This newcomer is too cocky!

He's just slightly talented and has the slight liking of the director, yet he actually dared to challenge Jiang Ping?

Hearing that tone, people who did not know would think that he would beat Jiang Ping into a pulp!

However… A demigod going against a true god—even a fool knew the result!

At this moment, the crowd looked at Rong Xiu with complicated gazes.

Some were gloating, and they desperately wanted to see the newcomer be tortured into submission.

Others were hesitant as they were afraid that Jiang Ping would be too harsh and hurt Rong Xiu's peerless face.

Even more people were joining in the fun, curious to see how capable Rong Xiu was, such that the director could give him special care.

However, Shangguan Yue was stunned. When she heard that sentence, she clearly felt her heart tighten.

At one moment, she almost thought that her heart had stopped, but following that, the sudden and quick heartbeats drowned her. Then, it was passionate and hot.

It seemed as if something was about to rush out of her chest.

She suddenly raised her hand and squeezed her earlobe.

Hot.

Rong Xiu seemed to notice something as he tilted his head and looked over.

She immediately put down her hands guiltily, averting her gaze and not looking at him.

She never had such a feeling, as if something was about to lose control.

At that moment, Jiang Ping was infuriated by Rong Xiu's arrogant attitude. He was so angry that he laughed. "Okay! Since this is so, let's go to Qing Ming Square and battle it out! What do you think?"

The crowd kept quiet.

If they went to Qing Ming Square, this so-called 'challenge' would be real.

According to the academy's usual rules, the two parties could casually attack during the fights in Qing Ming Square as long as they did not harm each other's lives.

If they really went there, Rong Xiu would most likely be beaten until he was handicapped!

Rong Xiu's expression didn't change as he nodded. "OK."

Someone could not help but remind, "Junior Brother Rong Xiu, you guys just came, so you might not know. Qing Ming Square—"

Before he could finish, Jiang Ping suddenly interrupted him. "Since he has already agreed, others can't chime in."

This time, nobody dared to speak further. They were still scared of offending Jiang Ping.

However, Rong Xiu did not seem to care as he brought the lady next to him and followed them calmly.

…

When they reached Qing Ming Square, quite a few people were gathered there. They all heard the news and came to watch the show.

A large space was emptied in the middle for their battle.

Jiang Ping stood first and looked at Rong Xiu. He coldly smiled and said, "In the competition, swords have no eyes. Junior Brother Rong Xiu, you have to be careful."

Rong Xiu ignored him.

Shangguan Yue could not help but ask, "Then… do you really have the confidence to fight someone who has a higher standard than you?"

Rong Xiu paused for a moment and replied, "Who said he has a higher standard?"

Shangguan Yue was dazed and slightly widened her eyes.

Quite a few people had also heard this, and they were all confused.

Rong Xiu took a step forward, and his surrounding aura exploded!

Everyone's expressions changed drastically!

Jiang Ping almost shrieked, "True god?!"
