Heiliao was silent and did not answer Huo Bing's question. The bird was right. Heiliao did not believe in Xingli, not Xika.

"Buddy, they create problems together, so they solve them together as well. After all the girl did not mind bearing the rumors with Xika and intended to settle this matter together, instead asking Xika to do all the responsibility. Isn't that girl pretty good?"

"What are you saying that's not all true," Heiliao said, "have you forgotten what we saw when it came to her room? The girl hugged him, not Xika who hugged him. So what created the problem was the girl herself, not the two of them. I wouldn't take it well anyway, not on those who have the power."

Huo Bing faintly guessed that the 'power' Heiliao was talking about was Xingli's white hole. Though it looks very similar to Heiliao's own ability. Why even fight?

"Well, but it was Xika who chose not to leave the girl, right? It can also be said to be one of the causes of this. If he came out last night, it probably wouldn't have caused this much trouble, just a rumor."

"............."

Heiliao said no more. But his expression remained wary of watching Xingli. If the girl does a little something suspicious, she will act.

Huo Bing was aware of Heiliao's gaze. Then he sighed.

"Hey, Wolf Shit. Did you know that you're not the only one with a broken heart?"

Heiliao frowned. Faintly remembering. "Yes, I think I remember a little bit of your story."

"Listen, I know your story doesn't end happily, neither do I. But I think our story ends differently, for different reasons. If it's not wrong, the point is that the woman left you?"

Heiliao nodded wryly confirming.

"Well, my story is a little different. The woman died, because of me." Huo Bing looked at Heiliao's stunned face for a while before continuing, "He sacrificed himself for me. There were some people chasing us. I should have beaten them, but-but I didn't. All I did was keep quiet until the woman sacrificed herself. I realized and fought back. But it's too late, you know.

I know you have a bad history with that girl, so when Xika gets close enough you feel anxious. Partly because of your bad relationship with that girl, partly because you don't want Xika to repeat your story. Didn't they?

I don't blame you, but I don't want Xika to repeat my story either. It's too late to realize that the girl next to you is the best, and only to realize it when it's too late, you know. So how about we watch him for a while? Honestly, I don't want Xika's story to end up the same as any of us. I hope the story ends happily.

So I hope he can do everything slowly naturally, without any of our interference in it. But if he starts showing signs of ending up like one of our stories, then we act. How's it?"

Heiliao. It seemed that he was thinking carefully about what Huo Bing had said. His eyes alternately looked at Xika and Xingli. His expression hardened every time he saw Xingli. Finally he took a deep breath.

"alright. I'll try. But if that girl makes Xika disappointed, I'll cut off her head myself." Heiliao's eyes flashed with determination, a sign that he would do as he said.

Huo Bing smiled slightly. He patted Heiliao on the back.

"In addition, if we continue to interfere, he may become a monk" said Huo Bing imagining Xika with a bald head and walking for alms who refused to marry because of heartbreak.

Heiliao gave a small laugh hearing Huo Bing's words.

Then the sight of the two followed a pair of warriors fighting against the entire Jade Village occupants. The two formed a good combination, even though they had never fought together before. The previous fight against Black Scorchpion did not count as both fought as individuals, not as a team.

Finally, the fight is over. And the last ones standing were Xika and Xingli. Both of them managed to defeat the entire Jade Village residents. Xika's condition is not too good to finish the fight. His clothes were torn here and there, and he had a lot of scratches. But only his appearance was bad, his actual condition was still fine.

While Xingli, his appearance was still better than Xika's. There were some scratches, but not as many as Xika. Even so, anyone who saw Xingli would definitely feel heartache. A girl as beautiful as Xingli did not match a scratch wound, it ruined her appearance. But the girl doesn't seem to care.

"Look, they did it, didn't they? You have to take it off so that it can develop." Huo Bing said as if Xika was a bird child learning to fly.

Xika walked over with a smile on her face. He passed through a pile of Jade Village residents who were now unconscious. Xingli followed behind him.

"Well, where are we going now?" xika asked cheerfully, as if the people lying unconscious had nothing to do with it at all.

"Hm, challenging the Great Hundred? Last time you challenged to what rank?"

"Ah, yes. I don't know. Let's go find them."

But it turned out that Xika did not need to search because there were already many people gathered in front of the Jade Village. It seemed like everyone in the academy already knew about the rumors. Most who came carried weapons and auras ready to be collected. One of them shouted.

"Which scoundrel dares to tarnish my gods? Out now! Or I'll break your door!"

Xika looked at each other with Xingli. While Huo Bing and Heiliao had already made the decision not to interfere in their fight. Unless there are some who are outside the boundaries of Xika, like the elders, then they will intervene.

"It seems like it's going to be a busy day" Xika said as she walked towards the front door.

The man who shouted out was already on the verge of destroying the entrance of the Jade Village when Xika walked out with Xingli. For a moment, the man was stunned to see Xingli. Then his gaze turned into anger. He had always been chasing Xingli all this time, but had always been ignored. Then a brat in the middle of nowhere suddenly appears and seizes his lover? If he can't have Xingli, then no one can have him.

"Are you the one who desecrated my gods?" ask the man who is not really necessary. Xika coming out with Xingli could already be considered a clarification for all those present that Xika confessed to her deeds.

"I don't understand what you're talking about." said Xika calmly.

"It seems you don't want to talk. I intended to forgive you as long as you kneeled to me. But I changed my mind. Now I won't forgive you anything you do."

Xika looked at the man as if he was a madman. Who is he? Why should Xika ask for her forgiveness?

"So," the man said again, "You want to come here well or I have to drag you forcibly?"

Xika frowned. That guy's getting weird. Why should he obey this man?

"It seems I have to drag you down forcibly. Alright. Let me teach you what you can and cannot do." the man smirked vilely. He had already prepared various plans to torture Xika.

Xingli jumped up and gave a horizontal slash across the man's chest.

CRASHES!

THE TEST!

"A....Miss, I'm warning you, I'm 37th, you'd better be"

Not done yet the man spoke, Xingli slapped his sword again. The man dodged with great difficulty because he did not want to hurt Xingli.

"Miss, I mean well-"

A SHOCK!

"My goal is just the guy-"

SLASHY!

"Miss-on"

WHUSHES!

It seemed that the man did not want to fight Xingli. But Xingli didn't care. He constantly attacked the man no matter what the man said. Over time, the man's patience began to run out.

TRANGS!

He managed to fend off Xingli's sword with the back of his hardened hand.

"DON'T! You fucking girl! I tried to be polite, but you forced me."

Eventually the man started attacking. He no longer evades. And Xika had to admit, that guy was quite great. It seemed that he was not lying about his rank. But Xingli couldn't be underestimated either. The girl was fast, and every slash was deadly.

The rank 37 was quite overwhelmed dodging Xingli's attacks even though he had already started attacking. It is a user of the land element. Slow but strong. Just once Xingli had his attack, then it was over.

THE DUAK!

But unfortunately the man managed to stage an attack. Xingli crashed into the wall behind him until it cracked. Xingli's stomach was in great pain. He has difficulty standing. While the man approached slowly.

"Well! Feel that! You think you're great? All this time everyone liked you and no one dared to do anything to you, so you thought you were the greatest huh? Let me teach you a lesson. Remember this, above the sky there is still sky."

THE DUAK!

The man raised his fist but Xingli managed to dodge to the side.

"Is that all you can do? Dodge? Escape? Where's the ice princess who always ignored me, huh?! This time I'll repay you! I'll make you kneel licking my feet! Feel the pain of my heart all this time!"

A BLAR!

Xika could not hold back her aura. His aura just exploded. He was so angry that it made some people who were near him find it difficult to breathe. If not seeing Xingli's gaze, Xika must have come forward to teach the bastard a lesson.

If the non-humiliated Xika was so angry, then what about the humiliated Xingli back then?

It was similar to Xika. His aura just exploded. But her aura did not make it difficult for people to breathe like Xika. Xingli's aura made everything around him shiver with coldness. Somehow, it seems like the air temperature suddenly dropped dramatically.

"HUH!"

But the man was unaware of Xingli's change. He smashed his fist covered in stone and broke Xingli's sword, leaving only the hilt.

THE CRETE!

The air grew colder as Xingli stood up. He stared at the broken sword in his hand. Then a thin layer covered the hilt and slowly made a new sword blade. The blade seemed to be made of ice.

Xingli turned his head and made the rank 37 suddenly feel fear in his heart. But he didn't show it.

"Well, what are you?"

But then the man realized that his fear was unwarranted. Xingli had already been hit by his blow. Not many were able to stand up again after being hit by his blow. Xingli must have used all his strength to stand up. He has nothing to fear. One more blow and his name will be famous as the man who managed to conquer Xingli.

So he started to raise his hand. Why did his hand not move? He turned his head and found both his legs and arms frozen in ice for some time.

"W-what's that....."

Xingli made a squeezing motion with his hand, and in that instant there was also an agonizing and miserable scream.

PRANGS!

"Ice Jade the Magic of Valkyrie."
