Chapter 4161: Disagreement

"If only Xiaoxue could open her Mysterious Meridians," she sighed deeply, her eyes brimming with a melancholic glow, "but alas, Xiaoxue is useless."

Zhao Yi quickly comforted her gently. Gu Yixuan, turning his head, smiled at Mu Xiaoxue, "Junior Sister, why humble yourself? Though you lack cultivation, you are skilled in mechanical arts and familiar with various array formations. In the study of ancient texts, you can easily surpass others."

"Indeed," Gu Yixuan nodded with a smile.

Zhao Yi shot him a sideways glance. Although Gu Yixuan agreed with his view, Zhao Yi still felt rather uneasy.

He frowned, his gaze suddenly shifting downwards.

"Is Junior Brother Gu's leg injury truly healed?"

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother," Gu Yixuan smiled faintly, maintaining the demeanor of a gentle young master.

"Fortunately, Master sought medicine for me from Medicine King Valley," Gu Yixuan said with a smile, "Otherwise, my injury wouldn't have recovered so quickly."

Zhao Yi grunted, a hint of mockery appearing in his eyes.

This Gu Yixuan, caught in the Phoenix Wood Forest array, was grabbed by a skeleton arm, resulting in five narrow black finger marks.

He had been poisoned by corpse venom.

No wonder he was so eager to rely on their junior sister.

If he hadn't sought refuge in Shadow City, Gu Yixuan would probably be dead by now.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yi then turned and scoffed at Gu Yixuan, "Junior Brother Gu, you've been in our Shadow City for some time now."

"How about it? Do you want to go up to the arena and fight? Bring some glory to our Shadow Academy," Zhao Yi said with a forced smile.

Gu Yixuan, however, showed no panic. He merely looked up at Zhao Yi and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Zhao is joking. I dare say my strength isn't even as good as Senior Brother Qiu's."

"Even Senior Brother Qiu was defeated, so how could I possibly beat that stoic-faced Crown Princess?" There was nothing shameful in him saying this.

After all, Qiu Ming's cultivation was indeed much higher than his.

Since even Qiu Ming lost to the little stoic, why should he, Gu Yixuan, foolishly go up and humiliate himself?

Mu Xiaoxue, hearing this, also chuckled, trying to smooth things over, "Senior Brother Zhao, don't make it difficult for Senior Brother Gu."

"Senior Brother Gu is new here and isn't familiar with many things yet," Mu Xiaoxue's gentle and understanding consolation drew a grateful look from Gu Yixuan.

He felt that the young lady Xiaoxue before him, with her beautiful appearance and gentle, generous personality, was truly from a completely different world compared to that cold, stoic-faced girl who would lash out at people over a disagreement.

A terrifying woman like the stoic-faced girl couldn't compare to a single strand of his Junior Sister Xiaoxue's hair. The more he looked at Miss Mu, the more his heart trembled.

The decision to seek refuge in Shadow City due to the corpse poison left on his ankle was indeed the most correct decision he had ever made in his life.

Gu Yixuan smiled and nodded at Mu Xiaoxue. When his gaze turned back to the arena, he happened to see Qiu Ming slowly walking towards the Shadow Academy's section.

As soon as Qiu Ming appeared, several Shadow Academy students couldn't help but glance at him, some with thinly veiled sarcasm in their words.

Qiu Ming ignored them all, simply sitting back in his seat with a calm expression.

Meanwhile, the little stoic on the arena had fallen silent again.

She sat cross-legged in the center of Arena Number Six, expressionlessly watching the fight on the opposite arena.

That's right, it was Qi Yinan on Arena Number Three.

That kid was almost at his limit!
