Chapter 154: Battle between Phoenixes

"If I say no, what will you do?" Xia Xing Yue asked dryly. Na Lan Yan Ran scowled, her eyes narrowing and flaring crimson.

"You're a coward."

"Perhaps." Xia Xing Yue shrugged. "Call me whatever you want. I'm not obligated to fight you."

"Actually, you are." Cai Pan looked uncomfortable. "Since you haven't fought in the first round yet, you can be challenged. And if you refuse the challenge, it counts as your loss."

"Good idea!" Xia Xing Yue beamed brilliantly and nodded. "I'll do that then. I'll forfeit the match. Happy, Ms. Na Lan?"

Everyone gaped at her.

"You can't do that!" Hong Hua spluttered. Beside her, Qing Ye nodded vehemently.

"Don't forget that you're representing Ten Thousand Swords University! You can't just give up for no good reason."
