Anger pulsed through her skin in waves.

"You can't do this. I can't be stuck with this loser for the rest of the academic session!"

"I am afraid but that's the fixed rule and there is really nothing that I can do about it!" The guardian quickly replied, apologies filling his voice but Emma wouldn't take it.

She turned to Rex.

"You did this deliberately didn't you? You couldn't keep that slacked d**k to yourself and decided to ruin my life with your horniness didn't you!” The cores of the halls shook by her ravaging again. 

She paused, then her eyes grew wild.

“You have to forfeit, right now!" She glared at Rex like he was something that crawled out of the gutters.

"You're not the only one who's unsatisfied by the results Emma, I would have done that already before you even thought of it if that were possible." Rex replied calmly.

But it only flared Emma's rage even further. 

"And who do you think is stupid enough to believe such lies? You've been stalking me for so long, I am sure you waited to see my numbers before going ahead to choose yours!"

Ohs and Ahhs filled the hall to a daring brim that almost everyone passed out.

"I'd rather stalk a stray dog than waste time on someone who thinks the world revolves around her!" Rex retorted.

Plain shock instantly pulsed through the hall and anger pulsed through her veins.

She raised her hands to slap him to stop mid air with the guard frantically pointing at the inscribed rules in the walls.

"I'm going to make sure that you pay for this!" She stomped away angrily from the hall.

"We should kill her!" Rex heard a voice saying that could only come from the Lung Dragon and he rolled his eyes at it.

The day went by, most people had already bonded with their teammates while Rex stood there, waiting.

A few moments later, Emma sprouted back angrily and dumped a paper right beside him.

Just above it was tagged the partnership program.

"We will talk only when we have to, no touching, I will be in charge of all the fights that would be allocated to us, not like you or that trash of a beast can do anything in the first place. All you have to do is survive. Remember if you are eliminated, I am, and if that happens, you would be dead! I will make sure of it!” She growled.

The Lung Dragon growled back but Rex wasn't in the mood for any drama, he only shot an unreadable expression that pissed her off even further.

"Just hope that you wouldn't need my help in the future!"

"Not even a dying kitten would need help from someone whose beast leaves slime trails everywhere!"

Just then, a presence potent enough to cause Rex's skin to boil over walked into the place, his devious smirk replaced by a charming smile as he peered deep into Emma's eyes.

"I can see that you are having some challenges as it pertains to your partner?" Harold said smoothly.

"I can help with that, I can help change the rules so that he is no longer your partner!"

At first hearing those words caused Emma's eyes to widen in ways that they almost shot out from their sockets at that instant, but looking at Harold, he didn't seem like someone that would pull a mere bluff.

"A lot of people have tried over the decades to change the rules, why do you think that it would be possible with you?"

Harold's smile widened with absolute arrogance.

"Because of the weight that I possess in the society. I'm Harold Blackwood, a name that echoes even among the council. My father has direct connections with almost all the eleven founding families. Rules bend when my family speaks, Emma. They always have."

“And maybe we could be partners then!” His eagle made a swift swore through the room in a graceful motion. 

“Unlike others, my beast actually has potentials!”

    After a rather long while, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, the spirit slowly recovering in them, where a glint of hatred and viciousness gradually rose."Murong Yi Xuan, I did so much just for you. How could you let me down with just a word like this? I will not let you have it your way. You are destined to be mine!"Highly different from what is was like in the Feng Residence, on another side of town in Feng Jiu's courtyard, Old Patriarch Feng who had been brought back to the place was like a kid exploring a new place, looking everywhere around him in amazement as he asked inquisitively: "Little Feng, whose place is this? And you as well, why are you still wearing that veil over your face?"He might be forgetful, but he has not lost his mind. Throughout the entire journey here, he had sensed that something was not normal, especially when his granddaughter, even when they had come into this private courtyard, still continued to wear that face veil, which made him fee

    The sudden and unexpected female voice reached the shopkeeper's ears, the words making him feel like he had heard the voice of heavenly deities, and his eyes sparkled as he turned to look in the direction of that voice.The common citizens surrounding the scene turned in surprise as they looked at the girl walking slowly in approach and when their eyes fell upon that figure, their eyes all lit up, their hearts secretly rising with praise.[Such outstanding grace and elegance on that girl.]Although her face could not be seen under that veil, but the clear and elegant grace on her made everyone's eyes light up, all of them subconsciously opening up a path for her, to allow the lady to pass."Miss? Is what this Young Miss just said really true? You know this Old Master? That's just great! Can I trouble you to hurry up and take him away? My business has already been held up by him for the entire day." The shopkeeper pleaded, his eyes seeming like he had just seen the piece of driftwood t

    "What's wrong with you, old man? Haven't I already given you wine? Why did you pour it all away?"The shopkeeper glared at the old man, his voice stiffening in helplessness. Who knew where this old man had come from, having suddenly appeared and plopped himself right at the front of his shop's entrance. He had even refused to go away, threatening he was not going to leave til he was given wine. It really infuriated him now that he was given the wine, the old man had simply poured it all onto the floor instead!Old Patriarch Feng pouted and with a look of unmasked contempt, he said: "Who told you to not give this old man the good stuff? The wine you gave me was so diluted it was like plain water, even if you can drink it, there's no way that's going to go down my throat!"The shopkeeper was so furious he shouted out loudly as he pointed a shaking finger at the old man: "You….. You darned old man! Which family are you from! How can you be so unreasonable! ? You're not paying a single ce

    Guan Xi Lin met his grandfather eyes without the slightest tinge of fear: "Whether all of you have mistreated me, are you saying none of you really don't know it in your hearts? In this Guan Family, I do not have my parents here, whether I have been treated unfairly, don't tell me no one is aware of it at all?"Hearing the accusatory questions from Guan Xi Lin, the senior Patriarch Guan's lips shook slightly, but he could not say a single word.Although they had fed him till this age, but, they had not spared him much attention at all. When they heard of his demise, they had not even grieved at all as they arranged for the funeral rites, before quickly annulling his marriage betrothal and letting Guan Xi Ruan marry his fiancee. Even to the point when they later knew he was not dead, they wished that he would remain outside and not return. And when he had finally come back to the Guan Mansion today, the senior Patriarch Guan had gone out to stop him, unwilling to let Guan Xi Lin partic

    Among the crowd, the surprised were surprised, the shocked were shocked, and only the Guan Family Head's face was dark like the bottom of a claypot, some gloomy the gloom almost dripped off his face.His hands were clenched up into fists, his gaze darkened as he stared at Guan Xi Lin upon the stage, as chilling murder flashed within his eyes.At that moment, Guan Xi Ruan already had an arm broken, and the other twisted and held down against the raised platform, unable to move in the slightest with his face pressed against the surface of the stage, whereby he could not even make any noise.Guan Xi Lin's gaze was rather conflicted as he looked at his cousin defeated and held down under his grip. He had intended to cripple his arm but in his mind, scenes of the times when they were younger and training together flashed through his mind and his heart helplessly softened."You've lost."Guan Xi Lin released his grip and turned his eyes away to look below the competition platform. That knif

    When the people below the stage saw that scene, their expressions showed varying degrees of surprise.The competitions within Family Clans were usually contests of mystical powers and martial arts, hence, weapons were very seldom drawn. Like Guan Xi Ruan who found himself not a match in a bare knuckle fight and had drawn arms, once a weapon was drawn, the very nature of the contest had changed.Moreover, because he drew out his weapon, even if he won, there would be no glory. And from what everyone could see, with Guan Xi Ruan's current powers, he was simply not a match for Guan Xi Lin at all.As the Head of a Family Clan, if they didn't even possess that level of judgement, they wouldn't have been able to hold their positions as Family Heads firmly.Seeing his son draw out his sword, the expression on the Guan Family Head's face did not improve, but he did not utter a single word to stop him, but had just allowed the situation to continue to unfold.[Today is the selections for the Y
