My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! Chapter 1980

Chapter 1980: Throwing Down the Gauntlet

Gu Liuli’s face darkened as she shouted angrily, “Go away! Have your captain come talk.”

Everybody parted to the sides.

Duanmu Qing naturally served as Apex Academy’s captain in this compet.i.tion.

Duanmu Qing was furrowing his brows as he walked out from the crowd. He looked indifferently at the woman in front of him. “What is it?”

“You are Apex Academy’s captain?” Gu Liuli sized up Duanmu Qing before declaring with a nod, “That’s good then! This is our Catkin Academy’s challenge!”

*Swis.h.!.+* A thin piece of paper flew toward Duanmu Qing’s hand.

Duanmu Qing caught it between two fingers. Subsequently, he gave a shake, and that thin piece of paper immediately slid open.

The two words ‘battle challenge’ appeared in everyone’s sight.

Catkin Academy had thrown down the gauntlet, challenging Apex Academy in a one on one battle. If Apex Academy didn’t want other people to look down on them, then they must accept!

They had to accept no matter what!

…

Duanmu Qing looked at Gu Liuli coldly before giving a nod. “Apex Academy will accept your challenge!”

The spectators were promptly in an uproar.

F*ck, this was getting freakin’ lit!

What kind of background did this Apex Academy have for even Catkin Academy to be targeting them?

Catkin Academy’s existence in Shuntian Prefecture was only second to the four great academies. Their strength was not to be underestimated.

In contrast, this Apex Academy was unknown to the public. They had never heard of it before.

Did the outcome of this contest even need to be said?

It would certainly be Catkin Academy’s total victory, right?

Everybody was making guesses, barely unable to hide their exhilarated expressions.

This was too exciting, right!

“Gu Liuli,” Duanmu Qing uttered this name aloofly. He put away the battle challenge and looked at the other party with a profound but fleeting expression. “You will pay the price for acting rashly today.”

After saying this, he turned around and left.

Gu Liuli clenched her fists and wanted to rebut, but the group from Apex Academy turned around listlessly and walked back to their seats with Zhou Danjin and the other mentors.

Gu Liuli was furious, so she turned around to storm off with balled fists.

As the order of the matches were determined at random, Gu Liuli did not know when their match against Apex Academy would be arranged.

Nevertheless, she was not afraid. It didn’t matter even if they were placed in the first match. She had already made ample preparations to fight against them.

Right now, it was time for the student representatives to ascend the stage to draw lots.

Watching Qiao Mu once again ascend the stage, even a fool would know that this little fellow that drew a bye two times in a row was probably someone with a lot of luck.

However, because there was no free pa.s.s this time, Apex Academy’s future looked bleak.

Everybody watched Qiao Mu to enjoy the show.

Qiao Mu had long finished drawing lots and was waiting on the side. Seeing that everybody was staring at her, the little fellow gripped her bamboo stick and glared back at them one by one.

What’re you looking at?

“Alright, the same old. People with the same numbers, pair up.”

“Number 3.” Qiao Mu looked at her bamboo stick and searched the crowd for a team representative with the number 3.

“Who is number 3?”

“Number 3!”

“What, y-you drew number 3?” The other party suddenly let out a grief-stricken wail.

Qiao Mu turned around and saw the captain of River Horse Academy, Sha Gua, look at her dumbly while holding a bamboo stick. Tears were practically forming in his eyes.
