In the Huo family’s section of the stands, Huo Ling sat in her chair, her eyes twinkling.
She watched Ye Ling with a face full of smiles, and also glanced at Zhang Shengnan, who had just turned and left.
The mischievous Huo Ling had previously informed Zhang Shengnan about Huo Xian’er and Ye Ling becoming good friends and having meals together.
She wanted to see how Zhang Shengnan, who had always liked her sister, would deal with Ye Ling this time.
Although she didn’t dislike Ye Ling, she didn’t have any particular fondness for him either.
If she could stir up some trouble, why wouldn’t she?
Mischievous Huo Ling loved causing a ruckus.
“Sister, you’re the main character this time. These two are about to fight over you.”
Supporting her fair chin with both hands, Huo Ling murmured to herself with a smile.
Sitting next to her, Huo Qingshan also heard his youngest daughter muttering.
“Ling, what are you talking about? Mumbling to yourself.”
Hearing this, Huo Ling snapped back to reality and shook her head vigorously.
“Nothing, Dad. I was just saying that Sister is amazing and might even make it to the finals.”
Hearing Huo Ling say this, Huo Qingshan felt very pleased.
No matter what, Huo Xian’er had already made it to the top four, and it wouldn’t be bad no matter what happened next.
Entering the Black Tortoise Spirit Tamer Academy was already a sure thing.
His mood was naturally very good.
At least a weight had been lifted from his heart, and he no longer had to worry about Huo Xianer becoming a Spirit Tamer.
Due to the intense battles earlier, many parts of the arena had been damaged.
To avoid affecting the upcoming matches, Shang Lingkong had arranged for people to quickly repair it.
One had to admit, even though this was the era of Spirit Tamers, technology was not lacking at all.
The arena, which had been in tatters, was restored to its original state in less than half an hour, which was quite impressive.
With the arena repaired, it was almost time for the semifinals.
The two who would enter the finals would be decided from among Ye Ling and the other three.
As the four approached the arena, Huo Xian’er looked at Ye Ling, her eyes filled with a hint of excitement.
As she had almost expected, Ye Ling had made it to the end.
No matter what, at least Ye Ling could enter a top Spirit Tamer Academy.
Maybe, just maybe, they might even end up in the same top Spirit Tamer Academy.
Of course, this was just Huo Xian’er’s wishful thinking at the moment.
She didn’t know which Spirit Tamer Academy Ye Ling would enter, but that didn’t stop her from fantasizing.
While Huo Xian’er was looking at Ye Ling, Zhang Shengnan was also staring at him.
However, Zhang Shengnan’s gaze was far from friendly.
If looks could kill, Ye Ling would have been dead countless times by now.
Especially when Zhang Shengnan noticed Huo Xian’er paying attention to Ye Ling, her heart filled with rage.
This betrayal was real!
It drove her mind into a frenzy.
Zhang Shengnan wished she could jump onto the arena and tear Ye Ling apart right then and there.
The head of the Zhang family in the stands was curious as to why his daughter seemed to hate Ye Ling so much.
He also noticed Huo Xian’er looking at Ye Ling.
“What did this Ye Ling do to make my daughter hate him so much?”
The head of the Zhang family stroked his beard and muttered softly.
He had always been troubled by his tomboyish daughter, who did everything with the vigor of a boy.
“Damn! Could it be… this Ye Ling messed with my daughter and then abandoned her?!”
The head of the Zhang family suddenly had this thought and was startled by his own idea.
Although it seemed absurd, it felt plausible.
Otherwise, why would his daughter look at Ye Ling with such anger, and why would Huo Xian’er be looking at him too? The more he thought about it, the more it seemed to make sense.
Wasn’t this a love triangle?
Of course, he wouldn’t have thought this way if he knew his daughter liked Huo Xian’er. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have such a bizarre idea.
Immediately, the head of the Zhang family felt his blood boiling, gripping the armrest of his seat tightly, veins bulging on his hand.
He glared at Ye Ling, thinking he had figured everything out.
Zhang Shengnan, standing below the arena, could never have imagined that her father would come up with such a wild idea.
If she knew, she would probably lose her temper.
She, Zhang Shengnan, would never like men, not now, not ever.
“You, go find out what the young lady has been up to recently, and get all the details about that boy, even the smallest things. Understand?”
The furious head of the Zhang family whispered to a trusted aide beside him.
He wanted to know what had happened between his daughter and Ye Ling.
If Ye Ling dared to bully his daughter, he would teach the boy a lesson on how to treat a lady.
“Yes, sir!”
The trusted aide responded quickly and hurried off to carry out the task.
The head of the family looked very angry, and the orders had to be executed immediately, or else he would suffer the consequences.
The aide clearly understood this and didn’t dare to slack off.
Back at the arena, the referee announced loudly.
“Next, we will have the semifinals. From you four, the final two will be decided for the finals.”
