“What’s wrong with Heiress of Princess Jing? Why isn’t she fighting?”

“Exactly. She seems quite frightened.”

The onlookers saw the two people not fighting on the platform and started to murmur.

Staring at Duanmu Qing who looked abnormal on the platform, Duanmu Shuang also slightly frowned.

What was wrong with Qing? What on earth did Duanmu Xi say to her? What was she afraid of?

Duanmu Qing was completely dumbfounded now.

The total wreck she looked down upon had gained such a high level of competence that she could never approach in her whole life and ridiculously, she still acted like a pathetic clown.

“Duanmu Qing, as I said, even if I die, you can never become the crown princess…”

Again, Duanmu Xi’s words sounded in Duanmu Qing’s ears coldly.

Duanmu Qing couldn’t move at all, as if being bewitched.

Those were the words that made her unable to fall asleep at night as well as the last words Duanmu Xi uttered when jumping into the Infinite Sea.

It turned out that Duanmu Xi didn’t lose memory at all. She remembered everything. She lied to everyone. Today, she must want to seek revenge on me! A kind of unspeakable fear welled up in Duanmu Qing’s heart.

Duanmu Qing turned around and wanted to run away but she suddenly tensed and directly collapsed.

The last thing she saw was the brutal smile of Duanmu Xi.

Duanmu Xi bent down and wiped her blood-stained dagger with Duanmu Qing’s red clothes. The scarlet blood set off the bright red clothes.

Duanmu Xi’s action astonished all the people present and caused a sudden silence to fall.

Her Highness the Crown Princess just killed Heiress of Princess Jing with ease…

Even Duanmu Xue and Huangfu Che were stupefied with an astonished look in disbelief.

Only Xuanyuan Mo and Phoenix One looked calm and not surprised at all.

While the crowd was still in shock, something more astounding happened. A streak of dark red light spurted out of Duanmu Xi.

Duanmu Xi got leveled up. She became a peak-level Mysterious Knight.

Now, everyone was slack-jawed.

What was going on? Wasn’t it that Her Highness the Crown Princess was a total wreck incapable of martial arts? Why was she even leveled up?

She was a peak-level Mysterious Knight rather than the low or medium level. A 12-year-old peak-level Mysterious Knight! She was definitely not a total wreck! Clearly, she was a superb talent.

The man in red gazed at Duanmu Xi enshrouded with the dark red light, his eyes gleaming.

He could be sure that he had never met this human girl before but why did he find her familiar? Not only she but also the man in black gave him such a feeling.

Duanmu Xue and Huangfu Che were also speechless in shock, their eyes full of thrill.

Their daughter had repaired her meridians and even became a mysterious master.

This was so great! Their daughter didn’t need to be called a total wreck anymore. Neither did she need to feel self-abased. Finally, she was capable of protecting herself.

Thinking of that, Duanmu Xue shed tears of happiness.

Huangfu Che held Duanmu Xue into his arms with pity and wiped her tears off.

“Silly, we should be happy for Xi. Why are you crying?”

After a moment of shock, all the people started to exclaim with excitement.

“Long live Her Highness the Crown Princess. Her Highness the Crown Princess is so great…”

Duanmu Shuang recovered from the shock and immediately rushed to Sparrow Slaying Platform.

“Qing…”

Duanmu Shuang helped Duanmu Qing up carefully and tried to take her pulse tremblingly.

Unable to feel any pulse, Duanmu Shuang slumped on the ground with a sad face.

Dead. Qing was dead…

Suddenly, Duanmu Shuang glared at Duanmu Xi with resentment.

It was Duanmu Xi. It was this total wreck who killed Qing. She must seek revenge for Qing.

She reached out her hand and struck a streak of cyan mysterious Qi at Duanmu Xi.

Duanmu Xi stood still and didn’t mean to dodge at all.

“Bang…”

A rush of cyan spiritual power directly smashed Duanmu Shuang’s mysterious Qi back.

As a result, Duanmu Shuang staggered two steps back.

Huangfu Che and Xuanyuan Mo flew to Sparrow Slaying Platform at the same time and surrounded Duanmu Xi.

Seeing Huangfu Che and Xuanyuan Mo, Duanmu Xi felt warm in her heart.

Seeing the situation, Duanmu Shuang knew that she couldn’t get her way alone. Hence, she stopped attacking and immediately put on a grieved look.

“You’ve gone too far.”

Duanmu Xi sneered and looked at Duanmu Shuang coldly.

“We’ve gone too far? What do you mean by that? I can’t follow you here.”

With fierce eyes, Duanmu Shuang stared at Duanmu Xi resentfully.

“You total wreck, don’t play dumb with me. Tell me, what evil magic did you use to kill my daughter?”

Seeing the arrogant Duanmu Shuang, the onlookers all gasped in shock.

“How dare Princess Jing censure Her Highness the Crown Princess like that?”

“Her Highness the Crown Princess has killed Heiress of Princess Jing with ease. How can she say the Crown Princess is a total wreck?”

“When did Her Highness the Crown Princess use any evil magic? Why didn’t we see that?”

The eyes of Huangfu Che and Xuanyuan Mo became cold at the same time.

On the contrary, Duanmu Xi appeared rather composed, her baby face expressionless.

“Your daughter couldn’t defeat me and now, you are accusing me of using evil magic. How eloquent you are!”

“You…”

Pointing at Duanmu Xi, Duanmu Shuang was lost for words.

Seeing the exasperated Duanmu Shuang, Duanmu Xi raised her eyebrows lightly.

“All I can say is that my conscience is clear over this matter. The duel was proposed by Qing. It was also her who suggested dueling on Sparrow Slaying Platform. She wanted to kill me. And I shouldn’t fight back? Now that she is dead, you want to blame me for that. How ridiculous!”

Duanmu Xi’s words immediately struck a chord with the onlookers.

“Exactly. The truth must be that Heiress of Princess Jing thought Her Highness the Crown Princess was incapable of martial arts so she deliberately challenged the latter to a life-and-death duel. Now, she was killed by Her Highness the Crown Princess instead.”

“You are right. She must have failed to think that Her Highness the Crown Princess was not a total wreck but a superb talent.”

“The only problem was that she was too weak. An elementary Mysterious Master couldn’t defeat a peak-level Mysterious Knight.”

“Yeah, a 17-year-old was no match for a 12-year-old. How could she have the cheek to accusing Her Highness of using evil magic?”



The onlookers talked increasingly harshly. Duanmu Shuang paled in anger.

“You… Good. Very good. Just wait and see.”

Holding Duanmu Qing’s corpse, Duanmu Shuang flew away from Sparrow Slaying Platform.

She not only lost her precious daughter but also lost face.

Sooner or later, she would seek revenge on Duanmu Xi and Duanmu Xue for her daughter.

As Duanmu Shuang left, a great cheer went up from the crowd.

“Long live Her Highness the Crown Princess. Her Highness the Crown Princess is so great…”

Thanks to the duel today, Duanmu Xi rose to fame and removed the label of the total wreck from her. She presented herself in front of the public as a 12-year-old Mysterious Knight of the peak level.

Now, everyone knew that the crown princess of the Zhuque Empire was not a born total wreck but a superb talent. As a 12-year-old high-level Mysterious Knight, she killed a low-level Mysterious Master with ease. How could anyone else be as talented as her in the world?
