It didn't matter whom Liu Qing's opponent was. What Jiang Ning told her remained constant.
Jiang Ning would have said the same thing if Zhang Heng had stepped into the arena.
But of course, Liu Qing wouldn't stand a chance if Zhang Heng did decide to take her on personally. Jiang Ning was the one who was confident of winning, not Liu Qing. If Zhang Heng did step into the arena, Jiang Ning wasn't going to just sit there and do nothing about it.
Liu Qing took a deep breath. A look of determination gradually settled on her face.
She made her way slowly to the arena. Something about her had changed.
The atmosphere had transformed.
The entire crowd was watching her.
"I can't believe they allowed this to happen. Liu Qing isn't going to stand a chance."
"It's Senior Luo. Anyone who fights him is going to lose."
"Seems like Third Miss is going to be sent to the Outer Court. Hahaha!"
"Keep it down. You've got some nerve to be laughing out loud like this."
No one believed in Liu Qing. They had no reason to at all.
Liu Qing's opponent was Luo Heng.
He was the strongest disciple in the Inner Court.
This was Luo Heng, Zhang Heng's best student and the one who was going to enter the Portico and become the disciple of the Senior Elder.
"Hello, my dear junior,” Luo Heng said with a faint smile. There was no hint of mockery in his smile because he didn't care at all. "You could yield now. It'll look better for you."
How could yielding look good in any way?
How could surrendering in a fight while so many people were watching look better for her?
There was no hint of emotion on Liu Qing's face. She would rather roll off the arena before she yielded.
She lifted her arms gradually and got into position. Luo Heng burst out into laughter.
"I guess I'll play along since my dear junior doesn't wish to give up. I won't go too hard on you."
Luo Heng's words dripped with unconcealed belittlement. His brand of indifference was different from Jiang Ning's. He didn't respect Liu Qing at all.
SWOOSH!
