Volume 3 Chapter 108 Is being so simple really enough?!

  The original Ice Emperor VS Seigaku, now joined by a fourth member from Shisheng Temple.

  At this time, the two people who were punished to run laps also returned, their faces pale, and it's unknown whether they were sweating from the heat or cold sweat due to exhaustion. Emperor Ice made them run 20 laps, which was simply taking their lives! Qing Xue running 20 laps was still a small matter, why did Emperor Ice build such a big thing for nothing?! Ahhh, the evil of being rich!

  Taicheng Wu and Haitang Xun fell to the ground as soon as they came back, seemingly unable to get up. Huaming Chi supported his forehead and opened his mouth, "Does this mean that two regular members of Qingyuan Academy have dropped out?"

  Do these two still have the energy to compete? She was very skeptical. Who would have thought that Handa Koko would take out his own teammate? LOL.

  The Qingxue Zhengxuan were at a loss for words. If it was really like that, they couldn't do anything about it either. When they couldn't compete, they really wouldn't force the issue.

  Teito Kokoro didn't say a word, but in the end, it was still Katsuragi who knelt down with concern and looked at the two pale-faced people. "Touka, Haito, are you guys okay? I'll have Jingwu take you to the school infirmary first... At least get some physiological saline."

  Poor doll, Ice Emperor is too big, sometimes it's also a helpless existence.

  "I'm fine! Don't worry!" Tao Cheng Wu let out a breath, stood up, and Haitang Xun also got up with him, their faces starting to look better.

  "It's really nothing, Akagi, I and Kaido are famous for our physical strength in Seirin, haha" said Tachibana Kuroba with a bit of embarrassment.

  Xu Mu was stunned, indeed, it's unlikely that these two would be able to withstand the physical demands.

  "That's good......" Akagi Aoi smiled faintly and returned to Hyōga's side, her gaze inadvertently falling on a pale-faced, cold-sweating person.

  At the moment when Akane Mitsuki looked over, Shimizu Ryōsuke noticed and raised his eyes to meet hers, those blue pupils of hers really made him clench his teeth in anger. His stomach hurt too much, he couldn't get off the bus, and the princes hadn't gotten off yet either, so she wasn't going anywhere.

  "Qingmu Sang, I'm not feeling well, can you help me?" The voice was weak and barely audible, but it caught the attention of Zheng Ze, who hadn't noticed them before. He also happened to notice Yuanshui Yurou, who wasn't far away. What's going on? There were two more girls here that he hadn't seen before. It was as if they had a very low presence.

  Rikka furrowed her brow slightly, as if she was going to use the same trick as before. This mother cat really is unbeatable. Who knows what she'll do to Akane Ayako when she gets close to that ill-intentioned mother cat, even though she seems to be genuinely uncomfortable.

  "Ah!" Tooyama Kintarou finally realized and looked at the person beside him, "Hey, Shiroishi, that older sister is bleeding, but she refuses to go to the hospital and says her condition is normal! Is there a disease with bleeding that's considered normal?"

  The simple kid was really naive and innocent, blinking his eyes and asking Baishi.

  But the scene isn't as simple as a naive little kid's brain, anyone can guess what's going on, although there are girls present, but more boys! And to make matters worse, the girls are just nearby! You're really irresponsible to throw out such words!

  Most of the boys' faces turned red. Please, they may have many admirers, but they rarely get in touch with girls, aren't they very innocent? Except for that scoundrel Nishikido Ryo, of course. Even someone as icy as Teshigawara Naoya's eyes flickered for a moment, and Atobe Keigo's mouth twitched slightly.

  But Bai Shi couldn't help but slightly lose his composure, fortunately only his teammates were present, otherwise who knows if he would be properly educated on what a normal hemorrhage is.

  Qingshui Liang Si almost choked on his breath, Far Mountain Jintaro! Your simplicity is really enough!

  "Hakusei! Can it be that there's a question you can't answer?" Tōyama Kintarō stared at the silent Hakusei, his eyes wide with surprise. Had their Shitennōji temple's sacred scripture stumped him?

  Bai Shi's eyes twitched slightly at the corner, and he glanced away, "I'll tell you about this privately later, Xiao Jin..."

  Even if it was a white stone that answered like this, he still felt embarrassed, and could even feel the gaze of a girl in the room staring at him strangely. That's right, it was Huamingchi!

  This kind of question is quite obscene even in private discussions!

  Doesn't Bai Shi know this principle? The problem is that this simple kid isn't always easy to fool!

  "Why say it in private? But people want to know now" Far Mountain Jintaro was a very curious person, couldn't White Stone answer on the spot? Should he go back and check? Thinking so, looking at White Stone's flickering eyes, he curled his lip, "It seems that even sacred books are not perfect..."

  Bai Shi: "......" You little brat! Who taught you to speak like that?!

  Looking at this scene, Akane Hino truly didn't know what to say. She looked over at Kiyoshirou Shinomiya, and she shouldn't have deceived her; that genuinely painful expression was really hard to fake, especially for someone like Kiyoshirou whose acting skills weren't that refined, it wasn't very possible to pretend so convincingly.

  "Kageo, if you're not feeling well, can't you take a break?" Akane Kiryu asked Kageo Kizuki. Even if he disliked Mizuha Shimizu that much, it was impossible for him to ignore her in this situation and leave her suffering there.

  Kiroku Kageo looked at Akane Watanabe, the tenderness and tolerance in her blue eyes made him sigh. He turned to Shimizu Ryōshi, whose sharp eyes didn't show any sympathy for her pale appearance, as if looking at someone insignificant, making Shimizu Ryōshi feel a sudden relief from her stomachache, but her heart felt extremely uncomfortable.

  She hated that feeling of not being truly seen in his eyes! Especially those eyes that were filled with someone else's image just a second ago!

  Watching Kizami Akira, it seemed like he was really going to agree with Toguchi Aya's words and take a leave of absence. But just as he was about to open his mouth, he refused, "No need! I can participate!"

  She won't accept any kindness from Akane Motomiya! Let alone the charity of those princes who listen to her words! It's too damn ironic!

  Her behavior like this makes the right-wingers feel disgusted.

  What right does a thick-skinned, annoying flower idiot have to take the lead in asking Xiang Fu for help, only to resolutely refuse their kindness? Are they playing with Xiang Fu?

  "Cut! Hypocrisy! If you don't want anyone's help, then don't ask for Xiaoyan's help! Are you really playing with people's hearts?! Hanamingchi, which sentence to say, especially looking at that annoying Qing Shui Liang, can't bear not to mock?"

  The originally simple Tōtarō Yamano still hadn't realized anything, but a single sentence from Haname Ishi made him understand and somewhat disagree: "It's normal for big sister to be in a bad mood when she's sick, but you can't mess with beautiful sisters!"

  Tojirou Kinomiya has a pure heart and always thinks positively about everything, but he knows that there is no absolute right or wrong. It's like... it's like when someone promises to play with him but then refuses, which makes him feel down. Why did the older sister make the beautiful sister so upset?

  "I..." As he listened to Toyoji's words, Kiyoshi's lips moved slightly, and his heart sank deeper.

  Her good luck didn't last long. Originally, he was the first prince to be friendly to her after she had a falling out with Qing Xue, smiling at her without any impurities. But now he's standing on the side of Ling Mu Xiang, looking at her disapprovingly. Even if she doesn't have feelings for Tooyama Kintarou, it's absolutely unbearable! Always being disliked and ignored by the princes, Tooyama Kintarou's previous attitude made her a bit concerned!

  Qingmu slightly lowered her eyes, and for a moment, she really felt that her actions were unnecessary. She raised her eyes again, not looking at the even more unsightly face of Qing Shui Si anymore.

  Just looking at Xing Mu Yan's appearance, the Ice Emperor was really unbearable. A flower idiot actually played her on the spot, and giving her a slap in the face wasn't much different. They wouldn't mind if she didn't have a heart or lungs, just so she wouldn't be hurt in the slightest.

  "Ah, En?" Kageo Tsubaki really wanted to take this frail figure into his arms, but Haname Shizuku had already come over and was leaning on her friend's shoulder, seemingly whispering something in a soft voice. He couldn't just grab Haname and throw her away, could he? These two people seemed to be getting along pretty well.

  Kiyoharu Kise's gaze, filled with pressure, made Shinra's heart tremble. His pale lips quivered as he listened to his words, "If you can participate, then get down here immediately! Dilly-dallying, whoever it is, will have their academic credits reduced to 0!"

  Unassuming mother cat!

  Kiyokawa Kengo's words were directed at Shimizu Ryosuke, but also at Toin Akiyoshi on the other side, as if he hadn't noticed Toin Akiyoshi's gaze towards Sayaka was filled with coldness!

  They're all plain tabby cats!

  Qingshui Liangsi and Yuanshui Yurou both looked extremely unwell, yet they spoke in unison, "I want to compete with you!"

  Huh?!

  These two humble mother cats!

  "This is our business, what does it have to do with you two mother cats?! Xiang Riyue was already unhappy because of Qing Shui Liang Si's behavior, and now he even dares to bring in a stinky foot?! Don't think that just because she's a girl I'll go easy on her!"

  "Meaning, you scoundrels who bully Akane, don't appear in front of me...!" Kiyoshiro Akutagawa spoke with a sleepy tone and soft voice, but the displeasure in his words was very firm.

  "Brother Ci, I didn't bully her..." Yuanshui Yurou didn't want to be implicated by Qing Shuilian.

  Akutagawa Jirō glanced at her with a raised eyebrow, and Haru Minami was extremely looking forward to seeing his attitude towards her being different from that of Kiyoshi Shinomiya. However, Akutagawa Jirō turned away, ignoring her, causing her smile to stiffen slightly. This simple and gullible Sleeping Prince actually ignored her?

  Tōka was a bit resentful and wanted to say something, but Tsuba Katsugorou interrupted him, "Alright! Unrefined mother cat! Whether you participate or not, stay far away!"

  Kiyokawa Kengo didn't care about these two unglamorous mother cats attending or not, anyway he didn't care about those two people! Would his grandfather be concerned that if they don't attend, their grades will be zero?

  Huang Mu Yan liked sliding down slopes. When everyone else was still on their bicycles, she had already slid down ahead of them.

  Facing the cool breeze, her beautiful face wore a smile that deepened from faint to profound.

  She likes wind, whether it's sea breeze, mountain wind, or the wild gusts before a heavy rain.

  The wind of nature always makes her feel like all the pressure and troubles in her heart are blown away.

  But why did the corners of my eyes get wet?

  Soga……

  She is thinking of someone from her past life who would accompany her to climb mountains, blow wind, watch the sea and appreciate the moon.

  The strong wind also has another benefit, it can quickly dry the tears that didn't have time to be wiped away, and tear stains seem to never have appeared.

  In this way, sorrow is just a dream, and you, with your smiling face, are still as warm as ever.

  "Little ribbon......" sauce......

  As she approached the side of Kaito Mika, a sense of discomfort rose in her heart. She was too familiar with Kaito's current expression. It was the same look that appeared on her own face when she stood in front of the mirror.

  A person who laughs at their own sadness is actually unaware, others have already seen through your sadness, but you think you've hidden it well. As long as the sadness remains, there will be traces.

  The right ones have gradually caught up, and the people in front don't know at all. The people behind are not making a single noise, why is that?

  They can't bear to see her smiling sadly, and when everything is gone with the wind, they are still playing behind her without a care. What else can they do but stare at her seemingly ethereal figure?

  They still wouldn't let her notice anything unusual and would act as if nothing had happened when they stopped the car.

  Tokyo General Hospital, a slender boy stood on the rooftop, blowing in the natural wind, his purple hair was disheveled, and he suddenly covered his mouth with a frown.

  He who seemed to have no worries at all as he faced the wind, was clearly not thinking about his illness, so why did he suddenly become so sad.

  What is that sadness?

  Yes, thinking...?

  The boy with his head down had his hair blown by the wind, covering his eyes, looking at the water stains on the ground that fell and quickly dried up.

  Why did he cry for no reason, and his first tear was such a strange feeling...?

  ……

  Ice Emperor, Elric

  The students of Ice Emperor went down the slope and didn't need anyone to lead or supervise them anymore, they started riding in the Erice Stadium.

  Eris Field is the exclusive venue for Ice Emperor Cycling Festival. This place isn't very luxurious, just because Eris thinks that cycling should be a simple and joyful thing. Eris Field is very simple, but from another perspective, it's still not simple enough. Because Eris is actually... a maze!

  That's right! It's a maze!

  All students should ride a bike through the maze, Traces of Jingying thought he was really a handsome good man at first, running through the maze and walking around in circles is so tiring, with bicycles as a means of transportation to help you walk, it's time to laugh!

  But Ice Emperor's students couldn't possibly think like him, rushing into the maze and all that, they really didn't love it! Turning around in circles, even riding a bike (let alone an unfamiliar one), facing those monotonous obstacles on all sides, their heads would still spin!

  Qingmu Yanfeng didn't expect it would turn out like this either.

  When they came down, only a few students were left outside, but soon they all went in too. Those figures all disappeared into the maze inside, and nothing could be seen from the outside.

  The content of the three schools' competition is actually very simple, which is to navigate through a maze!

  But it's not just about escaping the maze, the three schools' correct choices will disrupt the team members. Two people form a combination (combinations of two or more encountered along the way can work together to escape), and when they successfully escape the maze, if all the correct choices from one school have come out first, that school wins! In other words, even if there are three schools' correct choices among those who successfully escaped, as long as all the correct choices from one school have already come out, it is determined that that school has won.

  "Two people in a group, then I'll be with Tsumugi!" Hiyori Yūto spoke up first, but too many people didn't let him have his way. One by one, the disapproving gazes made Hiyori's face fall as he looked at Kiriya Tsumugi - she should agree, right? Tsumugi wouldn't refuse him, would she?!

  It wasn't until Qingmu Xiang looked up at him that Baishi spoke, "You can't do this now, both of you are from the same school. If you go out together, your chances of winning will undoubtedly increase, it's not fair. But if you're still in the same school under fair circumstances, then that's just your good luck."

  Then, Baishi's words were unanimously approved by everyone, and they all expressed their willingness to draw lots. Among these people, Linmu Xiangxiang was the most impartial because she had no personal motives. So she was in charge of drawing lots.

  The phone rang just before drawing lots.

  Looking at the incoming call display, Lin Xiang was stunned for a moment, her eyes narrowed slightly and sparkled imperceptibly. The number belonged to the slender young man who had sent it to her last night. She told everyone that she would take a walk and listen to the phone, but didn't notice the person behind her eavesdropping with his ears perked up.

  "Jing City..."

  Two words, caused a lot of people's complicated thoughts, especially Huamingchi inner turmoil.

  Your Majesty...

  "Are you uncomfortable?" Akane didn't expect Yukimura to call her at this time. She remembered that he sometimes gets sick and suffers a lot, and her heart suddenly hurt.

  "No... " Clearly she was asking if he was uncomfortable about something, but Yukimura Seiichi smiled and denied it as he stood on the rooftop. Even if he really was uncomfortable, it wasn't what she thought.

  Because of the sudden sadness, he thought of a girl and picked up his phone on a whim, dialed that seemingly soul-stirring number, answered the call, and heard her worried voice on the other end. He suddenly felt all his sorrow had been vented, feeling carefree.

  "Excuse me, am I disturbing your class?"

  "No way......" Akane Kaito was explaining the Ice Emperor's cycling festival to him on the other end, but how could she know that he was extremely annoyed right now when she wasn't even in front of him?

  "Hey, Akane, I won't be able to attend your school festival, sorry...". The clear and refreshing voice of Yukimura Seiichi seemed to have no cloudiness, but it made the other side's voice pause for a moment. Before Tsurugi Akane could respond, he spoke again, "Can I ask Genichiro and others to go on my behalf? Because your festival seems like so much fun, it would be a shame to miss it..."

  "I won't be able to attend, I wish teammates could replace me..."

  He had already said so, what else could she do?

  "...What porridge do you want to drink?" Akagi Towa suddenly said, and Sugimura Seiichi's chuckling laughter came, "Century egg lean meat porridge, simple yet delicious..."

  "Good..." Akane replied.

  She put down her phone and silently stared at the "call ended" message on the screen.

  She seems to be reliving something that should have been happy, but feels inexplicably more sorrowful.

  Qingmu Xiang turned around and saw that the candidates were all rubbing their noses, looking at each other or gazing at the sky with sparkling eyes.

  Such an obvious eavesdropping behavior.

  A gaze from Hana-ike that didn't waver at all made Kiriya Ayaka look up at her, and without Hana-ike saying a word, Kiriya Ayaka knew she was troubled because the person she was talking to on the phone was Yukimura Jin'ichi.

  However, Lin Mu Yan didn't know how to react and could only stare at her, unknowingly looking a bit silly. In the end, Huaming Chi let out a snort of laughter, ran over with a patter of footsteps, and hugged her tightly.

  She's a pure, gentle and cute girl, has she hit your soft spot or what?! She believes in this young girl because she trusts her own judgment, this girl isn't the type to play tricks on her to steal men.

  She knew that this little Calamity Jane was too dazzling, perhaps even the master was not an exception and was attracted to her?

  But what's the difference? As long as the master doesn't say a word that makes her leave his world forever, she still wants to chase after him until he has her in his heart.

  Her mental preparation had been done in China long ago. The warm and endearing girl in front of her was too tempting to resist getting close to, she had to face the possibility that the master might like her.

  Although it's unclear what the situation is now, if the master really likes this girl, she will compete with her in a fair and clean way, and those messy ideas of attacking her love rival can be discarded.

  But if things were not like that between the master and her, it would be for the best!

  "Can you make a preserved egg and lean pork congee?" asked Akane Matsu, looking at Kaori Ike.

  "Hua Ming Chi's face fell, and she pointed at her fingers with a wronged pout, 'I won't, I'm just a kitchen rookie...'"

  Huamingchi felt a sour taste in her heart. The master wanted to eat preserved egg lean meat porridge, but she didn't know how to make it, QAQ...

  "Even a rookie can level up..." Hu Mu Xiang also said such a sentence, Hua Ming Chi stopped the movement of her fingers, and her eyes shone with bright light.

  Although the regulars pretended not to eavesdrop, in fact, Kizuna's behavior immediately "betrayed" them, because without Akane saying a word, Kizuna had already started inviting people from Rikkaei!

  At this moment, it will be a gathering of the top students from four schools...
