Chapter 933: Anxiety
Ye Leng’an was quite excited upon hearing this. “Then I’ll definitely take a good look when the time comes.”
Listening to Huangfu Ruiling’s description, she was still very interested.
“Do you want to join in the fun personally?” Huangfu Ruiling raised an eyebrow, asking. “If you’re interested, I can ask the Grand Elder to sign you up.”
“Forget it.” Ye Leng’an shook her head. “I won’t join in. It feels like taking advantage of others.”
Although she also wanted to go see, going personally was out of the question. After all, she was confident that very few people in the Hidden World could match her strength. If anyone could rival her, it would probably only be Huangfu Ruiling.
Thinking of this, Ye Leng’an couldn’t help but raise her head and look at Huangfu Ruiling.
She really wanted to have a match with him, to see her strength. So far, she only knew that his strength was unfathomable, but she wasn’t sure how far it went.
Huangfu Ruiling naturally felt Ye Leng’an’s burning gaze. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, then he laughed. “What’s up?”
“Nothing.” Ye Leng’an shook her head, but her gaze remained fixed on him. “I’m just curious about your strength! Come to think of it, we haven’t sparred before!”
Huangfu Ruiling burst into laughter at her sudden words. “How did you suddenly come up with this idea?”
Ignoring Huangfu Ruiling’s teasing, Ye Leng’an said with a smile, “So, when can we have a sparring match?”
She wasn’t joking. She really wanted to see it. At the same time, she wanted to know her own limits.
Looking at her serious expression, Huangfu Ruiling smiled helplessly and continued, “Alright! If you insist, we can find a chance to spar when we return to the Hidden World.”
If it were in the mortal world, it would be quite inconvenient.
“Great!” Ye Leng’an laughed happily.
Since handing over the slander lawsuit to Huangfu Shaohua, Zhou Cui’an had completely put it out of her mind. She felt that with Huangfu Shaohua’s power and status, this lawsuit would surely be resolved.
During this period, she had been constantly criticized at school and had a hard time getting along with others in the dorm. So, she had been staying in a hotel off-campus.
However, as time passed, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of foreboding. Because she hadn’t been able to contact Huangfu Shaohua during this time. Although the phone still worked, she couldn’t reach him. Calls went unanswered, messages unread.
Most importantly, as the court date for the summons approached, someone from the court called her, reminding her not to forget to respond.
Receiving the call from the court, Zhou Cui’an was dumbfounded. She had always thought Huangfu Shaohua would take care of everything. But now she realized that maybe things weren’t as she imagined.
She took a few deep breaths, trying to calm down, then took out her phone and hurriedly dialed Huangfu Shaohua’s number.
As before, either it was off or busy. For a moment, she felt a little hopeless.
Looking at the familiar number on the screen, Zhou Cui’an’s face lost its sweetness, replaced with fear and worry.
She didn’t know what was going on. There were no signs, but Huangfu Shaohua suddenly became unreachable.
What should she do now? The court was about to hear Ye Leng’an’s defamation case. She didn’t know what to do next. She didn’t even know if Huangfu Shaohua had made any arrangements for her.
After all, this case directly affected her punishment. If she lost, the school’s punishment would be severe. In the future, this demerit might follow her for life.
Unable to contact Huangfu Shaohua, Zhou Cui’an was frantic. Then, a thought occurred to her, and she dialed Murong Yumeng’s number.
Receiving Zhou Cui’an’s call, Murong Yumeng felt annoyed. But because she didn’t know if she could still use Zhou Cui’an, and Huangfu Shaohua didn’t seem tired of her yet, she agreed to meet.
Seeing Murong Yumeng’s annoyance after hanging up, Xiao Lingling observed her for a while and cautiously said, “Senior Sister, Zhou Cui’an is really shameless! Why does she always trouble you? Doesn’t she have any self-awareness?”
“If she didn’t still have some use, I really wouldn’t bother.” Murong Yumeng’s face showed naked disdain. “But, you’re right about one thing. Zhou Cui’an really lacks self-awareness.”
Despite saying that, Murong Yumeng decided to meet Zhou Cui’an. After all, they hadn’t had any conflicts so far. There was no need to turn hostile just yet.
Soon, she arrived at a pavilion by a small lake in the school. Before she got close, she saw Zhou Cui’an sitting on a stone bench, waiting. Her face was full of anxiety.
Seeing Zhou Cui’an like this, Murong Yumeng was surprised.
Zhou Cui’an sounded anxious on the phone, but seeing her now, she felt something was off.
Though Zhou Cui’an was a little uneasy because of the slander case, she couldn’t be as haggard as she was now. After all, Huangfu Shaohua had already intervened. Ultimately, Ye Leng’an would not be able to sue her and would be completely humiliated.
Therefore, Zhou Cui’an’s current condition couldn’t be that bad. Unless something else had happened.
Completely lost in her thoughts, Zhou Cui’an didn’t notice Murong Yumeng’s arrival. It was only when the latter walked up to her that she snapped out of it. Then, as if startled, she stood up from the stone bench with a hint of surprise on her face. “Senior Sister, you’re here!”
