"… …"

The combination of the piano and the violin was full of passion. It was like a war song before the battle, filling people with fighting spirit. The surrounding dancers all consciously stopped, opening up a path.

The road led to the platform where the old man had spoken earlier. Two men walked through the crowd and stepped onto the stairs. The woman followed closely behind.

Liang Yue whispered into Xi Yue's ear, "What kind of activity is this, for it to be like this?"

Following Liang Yue's question, two men stepped onto the stage. With a "ka" sound, the edge of the stage suddenly stretched out and surrounded the stage. The microphone in front of the stage withdrew.

Xi Yue, the two people on the high platform, and the woman who was watching them with her hands on the edge of the stage replied, "It's a tradition for the snowy night balls for boys to invite girls to dance. Naturally, more than one boy would invite them."

Liang Yue was slightly surprised. Looking at the two people on the stage, she couldn't help but say, "At a time like this, isn't it fine as long as the girl chooses?"

"Oh, it's a tradition. A rejected boy can challenge another boy for the first dance." Xiyue looked meaningfully at Liang Yue. Her eyes curved into a smile like a fox as she said, "Even if the defeated boy is favored by the girl, he won't have the face to continue dancing with her."

Seeing that the girl below the stage looked extremely pretty, Liang Yue guessed that the two on the stage naturally liked her very much. Otherwise, they wouldn't have fought each other. She could only say with some emotion, "It really is youth …"

Xiyue rolled her eyes at Liang Yue, and stretched out a hand to poke her face, saying in annoyance, "Don't make yourself sound like an old grandpa!"

Liang Yue shook her head. Her gaze shifted to the black dress that Xiyue was wearing and said, "Do you think I'm not passing my time as an old grandpa?"

Xiyue was suddenly at a loss for words. Thinking of his relaxed appearance with Elder Zhang in the academy, she was unable to refute him. However, she smiled and said, "But I am now the companion of the old grandpa. Don't tell me I am still the old grandma?"

"But I'm not an old lady!" Xiyue smiled adorably. "That's why you're not an old grandpa.

Xiyue's smile was very cute, but from Liang Yue's point of view, she always seemed like a little demon with two horns.

The passionate music suddenly stopped, and the two people on the stage seemed to have already made their preparations, just like the calm before the storm. It was so deathly still, so silent, that everyone held their breath, waiting for the first battle of the ball to begin.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The piano began to play, low and deep. Then, it began to brighten up bit by bit. Then, the violin was added to the music. It was like a gale wind that blew through the entire arena as the battle began.

Two men, one a swordsman and the other a fighting expert. Both sides fought in close combat, so in this arena, they did not cower like mages. They appeared to be extremely intense, with neither side winning.

Liang Yue held her chin as she watched the two fight on the stage. She seemed to be very interested, and from time to time, she would stuff some of her lips into her own.

"What's so good about children fighting?" Xi Yue took a piece of cake from his plate and felt her face turn red. Thankfully, Liang Yue didn't mind this, so when she saw the two people fighting on the stage, she said in a bored manner, "What's so good about this kind of fight? It's really boring."

Liang Yue smiled and said, "It's just boring here. Moreover, the way they're fighting is really pretty."

In their eyes, it was just a battle between two kids. However, the spectating nature of the fight was not bad at all. Furthermore, there were times where both sides fought back and forth. The intensity of the battle caused the eyes of many students to light up.

Although to the two it didn't seem like a real battle, Xiyue was also bored. She was brought over by Liang Yue, leaned on her side, and watched the battle onstage together with him. From time to time, they would chat for a bit.

"Who do you think will win?" Xiyue drank the champagne in front of her and asked.

Liang Yue looked up at the stage and shook her head. "Although I don't want to admit it, that swordsman is indeed a bit weaker than that fist wielder."

"Bring me the cake." Xiyue curled her lips in disdain. She didn't look like a lady at all as she said, "He can even use a sword like that without any skill. Freshmen who haven't been in the academy for a few months are even stronger than him."

Liang Yue sighed and shook her head with a smile. "Don't not give others face. In any case, we are still considered guests, and he is not a student of the academy."

Xiyue stuck out her tongue at Liang Yue, "As a peacemaker, you definitely won't give face to others if you go up there later on."

The latter half of the sentence was spoken in a rather soft voice. Liang Yue only tilted his head to look at her and asked, somewhat puzzled, "What did you say?"

Xi Yue saw the crowd dispersing not far away as if they were making way for someone. She then laughed happily, like a fox who had succeeded in his scheme. "Guess!"

Liang Yue turned her head, feeling somewhat puzzled. Guess? Guess what? If I don't even hear his words, how can I guess?

Seeing Liang Yue like this, Xi Yue's smile became even happier. The crowd opened up a path, and a few men walked over. When Xi Yue felt that it was enough, she pulled Liang Yue's arm and leaned into his embrace.

When Barton came over and saw her in the man's arms, his mood became even worse. That was the woman he wanted, so he decided to teach her a lesson.

Liang Yue felt a hand on her shoulder. She pulled Xi Yue out of her embrace and turned around. She saw the man whom Xi Yue had splashed red wine on her face was standing behind her, his hand still on her shoulder.

He hadn't done anything yet, so naturally, Liang Yue was extremely polite. She smiled at him and asked, "What is it?" As he said that, he removed Ba's hand from his shoulder and used a wet towel to wipe his hand.

Barton looked at the man in front of him who had lowered his head and lowered his eyes to wipe the hand he had just taken down. He had an unexplainable anger, but he suppressed it and pointed at Xi Yue who was laughing, "I want her to be my partner. You decide for yourself."

He felt that it was a very interesting thing. He glanced at the smiling Xi Yue beside him, then looked at Barton with a serious expression, "You want to have a fight with me?"

You want to fight me...?
