The figure of the Xiao clan's patriarch disappeared into the night sky and drifted away.
A long time after he left, the invisible pressure that lingered in the square gradually dissipated.
Thousands of Xiao clan members stood up one after another and whispered to each other.
The topic of everyone's discussion revolved around Ji Tianxing and the Xiao clan's patriarch.
But even if they racked their brains, they could not figure out how a 20-year-old peerless genius could be friends with the Xiao clan's patriarch, who had lived for thousands of years.
Recalling what had happened previously, the Xiao clan members still had lingering fear in their hearts. They looked at Ji Tianxing with eyes full of reverence.
At this moment, no one dared to criticize Ji Tianxing anymore.
Everyone was filled with curiosity and reverence towards him, sizing him up without blinking.
The other Elders also calmed down and gathered around the Third Elder, asking about his injuries and the condition of his body.
The Third Elder did not hide anything and happily told everyone that it was Tianxing who had healed his injuries and allowed him to recover his cultivation.
When everyone heard this miraculous news, they immediately exclaimed in disbelief and started discussing.
Not long after, the atmosphere in the square eased up.
The First Elder sent a few guards to drag the corpses of Xiao Zhan and the other two down and clean up the blood on the arena.
Then, he announced loudly, "Everyone, this year's Holy Fire Festival is not over yet. Leave the rest of the time to the young men and women of our clan.
Young men and women who want to receive the approval and blessings of our clan members, please bravely go up to the arena and tell your story and wish in public. "
After saying that, he led the elders out of the arena.
The arena became empty, waiting for the brave young disciples to declare the love in their hearts in front of everyone.
However, everyone was still immersed in the shock from before and were still whispering to each other.
Those young men and women who were prepared to take this opportunity to confess were only focused on discussing Ji Tianxing and the Xiao clan's patriarch. They even forgot to go up to the arena to confess.
After a long time, a graceful figure walked through the crowd and went up to the arena.
Everyone's gaze was attracted, and they all looked towards that graceful figure.
After seeing that graceful, pure and lovely figure, the crowd immediately broke out into a series of discussions.
"Oh my god, it's Xiao Ling`er!"
"What is she doing? Is she going to confess to someone? "
"Wow! Our Xiao Clan's number one beauty, Xiao Ling`er, who countless young disciples yearn for even in their dreams, actually took the initiative to confess to someone? "
Without a doubt, the young woman that bravely walked up the ring under the gazes of everyone was precisely Xiao Linger.
She lowered her head slightly, her cheeks flushed red. She shyly walked to the ring and stood there, not daring to speak.
Perhaps because she was too shy, she kept her head down and didn't dare to look at anyone. Her hands even brushed the long hair on her temples.
Her subconscious action was only to relieve her embarrassment and shyness, but it made her reveal a trace of a charming beauty amidst her innocence and cuteness.
Instantly, countless young men in the square stared at her without blinking.
Everyone was filled with anticipation, eager to know what she was going to say and do.
Ji Tianxing stood in the crowd and looked at Xiao Ling`er with a calm expression. A faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
Xiao Chen stood beside him and also looked at Xiao Ling`er on the stage. He silently waved his fist and cheered for Xiao Ling`er.
He had liked Xiao Ling`er for many years but had never expressed his feelings all along.
Xiao Ling`er's attitude towards him was only that of a friend or brother.
Although he guessed what Xiao Ling`er was going to say, he felt a little jealous and sour in his heart.
However, he also believed that Xiao Ling`er's choice was the right one. He was willing to support and encourage Xiao Ling`er.
After all, the 'love rival' by his side was too outstanding. She was as dazzling as the stars in the sky, and people could only look up to her.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen tilted his head and looked at Ji Tianxing who was beside him.
Finally, when thousands of people were staring at Xiao Ling`er and the sounds of discussion were getting louder and louder, she finally opened her mouth to speak.
She gathered a great deal of courage and bravely raised her head. She looked straight at Ji Tianxing in the crowd and said with a sincere voice, "Brother Tianxing, I don't know if the current me still has the qualifications to call you that ….
Even now, I still don't know what your real name is, but I have a lot of things to say to you! "
When her clear, clean, and pleasant voice rang out, the entire square quietened down.
Countless people guessed what Xiao Ling`er was going to say and looked at Ji Tianxing in unison.
Ji Tianxing, who was in the crowd, became the focus of the crowd once again. He was as dazzling as the stars in the sky.
Even the nine elders, Xiao Han, and the others were smiling as they looked at Xiao Ling`er and Xiao Ling`er. They were secretly discussing with each other via voice transmission.
Xiao Ling`er took a deep breath and continued, "Brother Tianxing, I have always wanted to leave the Xiao Clan. I wanted to see a wider world and see the wonders of the world.
This has always been my wish, and it is also the motivation that supports me to train hard in the martial way.
Thank you for helping me achieve my wish, for fulfilling my dream!
If I didn't meet you, my life wouldn't be so wonderful! "
After she finished speaking, she looked at Ji Tianxing with a sincere gaze and bowed deeply.
Ji Tianxing looked at her with a smile and nodded slightly in greeting.
Xiao Ling`er seemed to have received a great encouragement. There were actually traces of tears in her clear eyes. She said emotionally, "Brother Tianxing, before I met you, my life had always been monotonous and dull. It was like a world of black and white.
It was only until I met you that my life became colorful!
Although we have only known each other for a short period of time, I will always remember your every word, every expression, and every smile in my heart.
I know that you will be leaving the Xiao Clan soon. You still have very important things to do.
You are a world-renowned peerless genius. You are as dazzling as the stars in the sky. Your brilliance makes millions of girls in the world feel ashamed of their inferiority. I am also one of them …
"However, the Holy Fire Festival is our Xiao Clan's grandest celebration. If I don't say the words in my heart tonight, I will regret it for the rest of my life.
I don't want to leave behind any regrets. Therefore, I want to say … Brother Tianxing, I like you!
No matter how outstanding you are, I will work even harder to catch up with you and get closer to you! "
Xiao Ling`er mustered up a great deal of courage before she said the words that were hidden in her heart.
This moment was the boldest and bravest moment in her life.
When she said these words, her face turned red all the way to her neck. Her heart almost stopped beating. She was so embarrassed that she found it hard to breathe.
These sincere and touching words had exhausted all her strength.
After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but lower her head. She didn't dare to look at Ji Tianxing's expression.
Her heart was filled with apprehension and uneasiness. Her fingers were intertwined as she waited for Ji Tianxing's response.
The thousands of Xiao Clan members in the square were stunned for a moment before they cheered and discussed noisily.
