Lin Yue vs Wen Shao

She then handed her to Ranran and the latter took her to her room.

"Mingzhu, I can explain." Lin Weidong said softly.

"Explain? To tell me how you sleepwalk or what?"

Lin Weidong choked as he watched his wife's retreating figure.

*****

The next morning.

With her hands on her waist, Xiao Ba's face was scrunched up in frustration as she look at her Young Miss, who was holding onto the blanket and refused to get up.

"Aya, Young Miss, it is morning already." She tugged on the latter's blanket but Lin Yue turned to the side, legs clamping on the blanket.

Xiao Ba sighed, slapping her forehead in dismay, she didn't know what to do to this sleepyhead of hers.

"Young Miss, aren't you going to participate in the competition anymore? Anyway, I will just let them know that you've withdrawn from it."

"Don't you dare!" Lin Yue jumped off the bed, pushing away Xiao Ba, who sighed as she look at her frantic Young Miss.

"Xiao Ba, have you prepared my bath?"

''Yeah..."

"Help me pick out my clothes then, red one."

"Yeah..."

After washing up, a freshly showered Lin Yue entered back into the room and get dressed, she shivers lightly, thanks to the cold since winter has arrived.

After that, she ran to the dining room.

Her parents were eating already and she take seat beside her mother.

"Good morning Mother!" She said as she eyed the dishes, swallowing.

"Morning Yue'er, did sleep well? And why are you wearing such a thin dress? Don't you know it is cold? Where is your maidservant? Didn't she know to dress you up?" Xie Mingzhu's forehead was creased into a frown.

The cold here is three times colder than the one in her past life, and Lin Yue would have frozen if not for the fact that cultivators' bodies are more resistant to cold.

"I will go get a pelt later, okay, Mother? And I think we might run late to the competition, what if they started before we reached there?" She said, after finishing chewing on the vegetables.

"You should eat more, Yue'er." Her father quietly placed dishes on her plate when he saw that his kid and wife has no intention of adding him to their conversation.

Not bothering to spare him a glance, Lin Yue ate meat instead and Lin Weidong sighed. He was really worried about her, that's why he searched less efficiently, and he felt his chest prickled with guilt.

Anyway, there was still time for them together before he went back to the border.

And speaking of which, he wondered what Fu San was doing, after all, it is been more than two months since he was sent to Red Moon Empire to purchase a fire thunder skill scroll and since then, he hasn't heard from him.

Naturally, it shouldn't take more than half a month to reach Red Moon Empire, considering one of the skills that he had, but now, he is taking two months already, if it wasn't three.

Think of these, Lin Weidong frowned, for some reason, he felt uneasy as if something bad was about to happen and he couldn't pinpoint what it was.

Xie Mingzhu felt the change in her husband's mood so she look at him, causing Lin Weidong to put aside the feeling for now and comforted himself that it was alright.

After finishing breakfast, Lin Yue was forced to wear a a blue pelt over her dress and then, the family of three made their way into the public training ground.

There were many people as usual, and the battle this time around involved five kids, four with high-grade elemental roots and Lin Yu.

They are Lin Yue, Lin Yu, Lin Si, who was a girl, and two other boys, Wen Shao, and Lin Yizé.

The start of the battle was as usual, opponents were chosen through lots of drawing.

They stood in front of Lin Huang, who watched as each of them pick up a lot from the jar.

Lin Yue could feel her heart pumping against her chest, not from his brooding gaze but from who her opponent would be.

Breathing deeply, she was number one, and much to her pleasure, her opponent is Wen Shao.

'Thank God' Lin Yue muttered under her breath.

Lin Yizé and Lin Si are up for the second round and luckily for Lin Yu, he was promoted to the semi-final directly.

Everyone left the stage, leaving behind Lin Yue and Wen Shao, and the battle commenced.

"Brat, you dare to beat me up once, and even threaten me, I will advise you to admit defeat right now because I am going to beat you up until you vomit blood." In a voice that only the two of them could hear, Wen Shao said, to which Lin Yue frowned upon, for she find his behavior suspicious, after all, she beats him up before, shouldn't he cower away at her presence?
