Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss Chapter 319 - Don’t Retreat, Don’t Give Up!

Chapter 319: Don’t Retreat, Don’t Give Up!

Lan Xinyu could see her grandfather’s emotions and knew how hard it was for him to admit defeat. She knew better than anyone how much her grandfather had done for their family all these years. It was he who had worked hard all this time without a single complaint and supported the family all by himself. He was like a giant tree that protected the descendants of the Lan family from the wind and rain. Seeing the white hair on her grandfather’s head and the wrinkles on his face, Lan Xinyu felt her heart clench. Determination fired up in her.

“Grandfather, for the Lan family, I will not give up,” Lan Xinyu called out bravely. She remembered the words Ling Chuxi had once said: “Today, I am fighting for the Ling family. Perhaps, tomorrow you would have to fight for your Lan family. Don’t retreat, don’t give up. Remember!”

Lan Xinyu smiled faintly at Ling Chuxi, who nodded encouragingly.

Lan Xinyu’s determination comforted his troubled heart, and Master Lan kept quiet. To have handed Lan Xinyu over to Ling Chuxi for tempering back then was undoubtedly the best decision he had made in this life.

Lan Xinyu had finally grown up, Master Lan realized in relief. The burden he had been carrying on his shoulders for more than a decade was lifted. Regardless of the outcome today, as long as Lan Xinyu was around, the Lan family would definitely not disappear.

Master Lan glanced at Ling Chuxi gratefully.

The drums rang once again. Fang Yuanqiu’s fingers became illusory as he once again used that mysterious finger gesture. His sword emitted a low chirring and the Level-9 Battle Qi emerged. Lan Xinyu’s golden whip also emitted a faint golden light.

Silence ensued below the stage. Everyone felt like their hearts were caught in their throats. This battle was not only related to the Lan and the Fang family’s reputations, but also to the imperial merchant business and who it would belong to for the next ten years. In other words, it affected the survival of the citizens of White Stone City.

Fang Yuanqiu gave a shout as he slashed out with his sword. That dazzling ray of Battle Qi was frightening to look at, but Lan Xinyu did not even flinch as she concentrated on the sword that was approaching her. It was only when the sword was right before her did the golden whip suddenly light up and launch itself at the sword like a raging dragon.

A crisp sound rang out and a strange light flashed brightly. That deadly move that seemed unstoppable had been halted by the lash of Lan Xinyu’s whip!

Lan Xinyu took two steps backwards, her face a little pale. Her hand that was holding the whip was also trembling slightly, but she showed no signs of giving up.

Below the stage, there was a brief silence, then a thunderous applause erupted. Her Level-8 Battle Qi was actually able to withstand Level-9 Battle Qi – she was indeed a talented young maiden of White Stone City and the genius of the Lan family that could only be found once in a hundred years.

“Lan Xinyu, great job!”

“Lan Xinyu, all the best! Send the Fang family back to where they came from!”

Below the stage, waves of cheers could be heard.

Everyone had forgotten the fact that Lan Xinyu had once lost to Ling Chuxi, and could only remember her tough, unyielding spirit right now.

The corners of Ling Chuxi’s lips curled up into a smile. Her initial concerns disappeared. Fang Yuanqiu completely relied on the sudden leapfrogging of his Battle Qi under that wondrous finger gesture, and his actual combat experience seemed to be lacking. Lan Xinyu’s use of Battle Qi and her grasp of the situation were far better than his. As long as she persisted, victory would definitely be hers. Lan Xinyu was truly worthy of being called a peerless genius!
