"Oppa!"
Kim Myungjin wanted to persuade Lin Baici not to be reckless.
She had had too little interaction with San Miyairi, they weren’t friends yet, so naturally, she didn’t want to see her beloved man take risks for her.
She stopped herself from speaking the words because she understood Lin Baici’s character; he was loyal and righteous, and once he had spoken, he would never go back on his word.
"Little Linzi!"
Xia Hongyao looked at Lin Baici, her fists clenching with excitent.
Here it cos! Here it cos!
My Little Linzi is about to perform again!
Gu Qingqiu raised an eyebrow.
What’s the situation?
Did Lin Schoolmate discover sothing?
Gu Qingqiu quickly ran through the details and confird she hadn’t missed anything. Why did Lin Schoolmate know the answer faster than she did?
Compared to Hua Yue Yu and Kim Myungjin’s worried concern, Gu Qingqiu understood Lin Baici more deeply; he was a man who planned carefully before acting.
Strike to win!
"Lord Lin?"
San Miyairi’s face was full of amazent, as if she’d fallen into Hell only to find an angel waiting for her.
She hoped Lin Baici would lend a hand, but she never expected him to actually intervene.
Because it’s impossible, it could really lead to death!
"Lord Lin!"
San Miyairi mumbled again, feeling indescribably moved.
Wang Helin was surprised, while Dudek eyed Lin Baici with interest.
Honestly, Lin Baici’s action surprised everyone, but he simultaneously earned their admiration.
It would be great to have such a friend.
"Bai Ci!"
Gu Qingqiu didn’t call him schoolmate anymore, not caring if it displeased the king, she stood up, walked briskly to Lin Baici’s side, covering her mouth for a private conversation.
"Is the key to this purification to kill soone specific?"
"Yes!"
Lin Baici expected Gu Qingqiu’s cleverness, so he wasn’t surprised hearing her say this.
"Just as expected!"
Gu Qingqiu worried about alerting the target, so she didn’t ask Lin Baici who it was, but hugged him tightly then knelt on one knee to plead with the king.
"Your Majesty, please allow my husband and to dance the sword for you!"
Wow!
Gu Qingqiu’s words caused a stir throughout the venue.
"What’s with this husband stuff?"
San Miyairi pouted, feeling irritated.
She never regarded Kim Myungjin and Hua Yue Yu as competitors, only Gu Qingqiu was the enemy in her quest to marry Lin Baici.
Now that Gu Qingqiu volunteered, how much favor could this gain in Lin Baici’s eyes?
San Miyairi was self-aware that Gu Qingqiu’s volunteering wasn’t for her sake, but to have a backup if Lin Baici made a mistake.
The Sakura Girl was right.
Once the two went on stage, if Lin Baici killed the wrong person, Gu Qingqiu would have a chance to kill again imdiately.
"Interesting! Interesting!"
The Marquis Changxin laughed, clapping, and suggested to the king: "Why not let them perform together?"
"Hmm!"
The king was indifferent.
"Lord Lin..."
As San Miyairi and Lin Baici brushed past each other, her words lingered.
"Thank you!"
Wang Helin sincerely thanked Lin Baici.
Dudek didn’t speak, but everything was understood; he’d return this favor.
Lin Baici and Gu Qingqiu both received a Bronze Sword.
The musician struck the wooden mallet on the chi bells, sounding the music.
Gu Qingqiu hadn’t learned sword dance, but given her family background, she had trained in music and dance, so she perford waltz as a sword dance.
Admittedly, it’s unconventional to dance waltz holding a sword, but Gu Qingqiu was so beautiful, her grace combined with her outstanding deanor, silhouette, and dance skills captivated everyone’s attention.
The Marquis Changxin was about to urge Lin Baici to start his sword dance quickly, but seeing Gu Qingqiu’s performance, he focused on her instead.
Most guests wore this expression, making Lin Baici seem like an intruder.
Lin Baici took a deep breath, not daring to delay further, starting his sword dance.
He worried the king would dismiss him, which would be troubleso for Gu Qingqiu, as she likely didn’t know whom to kill.
Kim Myungjin and Hua Yue Yu didn’t care about Gu Qingqiu’s sword dance; their attention was solely on Lin Baici.
"Looks like it’s not going well?"
Hua Yue Yu was anxious.
"..."
Kim Myungjin said nothing, but her tightly furrowed brow spoke volus about her mood.
Lin Baici certainly wouldn’t know sword dance; his family couldn’t afford extracurricular classes, and his focus from childhood to now had been solely on academics.
Over these twenty years, Lin Baici had only perford the school’s broadcast exercise.
Such performance could never satisfy the king, so Lin Baici activated Drunken Immortal Fist, using the sword as a dance prop.
Though even with Divine Grace’s blessing, Lin Baici’s movents still looked awkward.
Lin Baici inched toward the target while dancing, as directly approaching would draw attention.
He couldn’t afford to waste ti, yet even so, the king started to frown.
"What kind of dance is this?"
The king waved his hand, his wide sleeves fluttering like butterfly wings: "Get off!"
"It’s over!"
Kim Myungjin and Hua Yue Yu imdiately beca tense.
The king said to get off, not letting Lin Baici off, suggesting after Gu Qingqiu finished, he’d likely cause trouble for Lin Baici?
Gu Qingqiu imdiately looked at Lin Baici, sending a signal.
Don’t wait, Schoolmate!
Act quickly!
Lin Baici initially aid for the perfect opportunity to strike, ensuring success in one hit, but now, having no choice, he activated Lighting Fast.
Swoosh!
Everything in Lin Baici’s view slowed down instantly.
He treated the long sword in his hand like a War Hamr, hurling it towards the bearded envoy ntioned by the palace maid.
