The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 62

Chapter 62: Sit On My Lap

It took almost an hour before You XiaoMo accepted the reality that he had to share the same room and the same bed with Ling Xiao. But because the time for the competition was fast approaching, he had no time to restore his traumatized mind.

Although two people would be sharing one room and one bed, the Warrior Division didn’t provide them with beddings and such. Items needed for washing were also not provided. All these were up to the Mage disciples to bring their own. Luckily they all had a magic bags. Although not huge, it was more than enough to carry these things. By the time You XiaoMo took out and arranged his things, the time of the competition arrived.

Although the Central Lineage had fewer people, when a big group of people descended on one spot, it was still a sizable number. A dense mass of people sat spread out in various areas. One of the areas was for the elders of the Tian Xin Sect. It was located right in front of the arena, fifteen chairs in a row. Ten of them were already occupied by elders, the ones who have not arrived were probably the big shots, so they would show up last.

Another area was for the participants. The participating disciples seemed to have all arrived. Some had their eyes closed, resting their minds to properly prepare for the competition , while some were chatting with their Xiongs. Overall, the atmosphere was pretty good. There were definitely no cold attitudes just because they might be facing each other later.

The last area was for the mages. Although not many, most of them were already in attendance, including the one that hated You XiaoMo all the way to her bones, Tang YunQi.

When the two of them appeared, the looks they gathered could almost be felt physically. The most lethal one is the one from Tang YunQi.

You XiaoMo had long expected that the princess would turn up at the Central Lineage so he had prepared himself mentally , but it still shocked him. There was an unbelievable amount of hate condensed into that glare. He had no doubts that if look s could kill, he would not only be dead but also without an intact corpse.

Butting against the pressure, You XiaoMo lifted his foot wanting to head to the mage area but his arm was suddenly seized.

Ling Xiao frowned at him, “Where do you think you’re going?”

You XiaoMo froze for a moment before pointing at the mage area , saying, ” O ver there. That is our area. I just saw that Second Shixiong is also there.”

“There are too few people over there. You can just follow me to the competitor seats.” Ling Xiao glanced at the mage disciples that were continuously looking over at them. He didn’t like how Tang YunQi and company were looking at You XiaoMo.

” Ah ? Is that alright?” You XiaoMo didn’t expect that Ling Xiao would say that.

“I say it is , so it is.” Ling Xiao said that and didn’t ask his opinion again before dragging him by the arm to the competitor seats.

You XiaoMo quickly adjusted his steps to avoid falling over in front of everyone. It was a while before he said, “But, the competitor seats seem to be fully occupied. Where am I going to sit if I go over there?”

Ling Xiao turned around and glanced at him with a slight smile, “Even if there isn’t a seat, I will make it so there is. If not, you can also sit on my lap. I don’t mind.”

You XiaoMo slipped and almost fell. Luckily his arm was being held by Ling Xiao. After getting over the shock he gnashed his teeth saying, “But I mind!”

What ‘sit on my lap’? He was a man, not a girl. If that were to happen, not only would he completely lose face, he would most probably also drown in other people’s spittle. At that time, even if he were to jump into the Huang river, he wouldn’t be able to clear off this shame !

Ling Xiao shruged indifferently.

Just when You XiaoMo was being led by Ling Xiao to the competitor seats, flames of rage were almost shooting out from the eyes of Tang YunQi who was seated with the mages.

The extreme jealousy was even more intense than the time she heard that they would be sharing the same room. She had thought that once he came over, she would definitely give him a dressing down but he didn’t even give her the chance. If Tang YunQi had a handkerchief in her hand, it most probably would have been torn to bits.

“Shimei, could it be that Lin-shixiong knew about our plan?”

“Probably not.” Tang YunQi said with a dark face. They came up with the plan on the spot. At that time, there was no one else around so they couldn’t have been overheard. Furthermore, with her status as the daughter of the Grand Master , there were only a few who would dare offend her.

“Then it is most probably just a coincidence.” The person speaking suddenly lowered his voice.

“Looks like I can only use that method.” Tang YunQi said gloomily. Actually , she didn’t want to use that pawn so quickly. It was only that seeing how Xiao-ge was protecting You XiaoMo at every turn, she felt that if she were to endure it any further, she would soon explode.

When everyone was lost in their own thoughts, they forgot that sitting among them was a disciple from the same peak as You XiaoMo, Fu ZiLin. Most probably because he was too quiet, Tang YunQi and company completely forget that he existed.

On the opposite side, You XiaoMo was being pulled by Ling Xiao into his camp. There were five rows of competitor seats and each row had ten spots. Ling Xiao’s seat was in the middle of the first row and a very good position. To the left and right were Zhou Peng and Qin ShiYu; the both of them had arrived long ago. Zhou Peng saw Ling Xiao dragging You XiaoMo over , immediately stood up and gave up his seat voluntarily. The Shidi by his side also stood up and readily gave up his seat to him, running to the back seats.

Seeing this scene, You XiaoMo was at a loss for words. These people were too nice , it was no wonder Ling Xiao was so confident.

With the passing of time, the Grand Master Tang Fan finally showed up and he brought along a few high level seniors. The Central Lineage disciples were core disciples , so it was only right for them to receive all the attention. After that, Tang Fan started by saying some encouraging words. Since this was a friendly competition, the fights would only go so far.

After saying a few opening remarks, Tang Fan retreated back to his seat giving way to the judge, an elder named Jiang.

“This year’s friendly competition will be held by drawing lots, just like last year. The people who are chosen will get on the arena. The first one to fall from the stage will be the loser. The one who voluntarily admits defeat will also be the loser. I hope you all will act according to your abilities. Now , we will begin drawing lots.” After Elder Jiang said this, a junior brought up a square box. In order to prove that there was no cheating, Elder Jiang shook the box forcefully in front of everyone. He then put his hand inside and took out two pieces of paper.

Opening the pieces of paper, Elder Jiang said forcefully, “The first one is Zhou Peng. The second one is Lin Xiao. Please get into the ring!”

Immediately a huge commotion erupted under the stage. This was only the first first fight and already the two of them were chosen, it really was too much of a joke.

Everyone knew that the relationship between Zhou Peng and Lin Xiao was very good. Furthermore, even though Zhou Peng was not as strong as Lin Xiao, he was still among the top ten. It looked like one of the two would have to be eliminated.
