Chapter 1417

Although knowing the opponent is indeed a skilled fighter, masters are never ones to admit defeat.

If given another chance, Fan Yi thought, he must challenge that person again.

“Is he one of Nangong Yun’s men?” Baili Xia softly asked, noticing his embarrassment.

Just like Bei Tianyou, wondering which person’s subordinate might be hiding such an expert.

“I don’t know. I suppose since he comes and goes from the Wangyue Pavilion, he should be.”

Baili Xia was slightly startled in her heart, subconsciously glancing at Bei Tianyou, who happened to be looking at her as well.

Unexpectedly, Nangong Yun has someone under her who is even more formidable than Fan Yi.

This competition, it seems, is fraught with difficulties.

“Nangong Yun repeatedly causes trouble, I suspected it was her who injured the three brothers before, and now she’s come after you.”

Feeling resentment towards Nangong Yun, Baili Xia said angrily.

But Fan Yi hurriedly shook his head, his face turned bright red, shamefully saying, “It’s not him causing me trouble, it’s me…”

He looked somewhat embarrassed to speak but after thinking about it, he decided to continue.

“It was my own issue, I was resentful towards Nangong Yun, so when I saw this person I went to provoke him voluntarily, and as a result… was injured instead.”

After saying this, he looked at Bei Tianyou and suddenly knelt down with a thud.

“I’m sorry, Young Master, I’ve brought shame to you.”

Bei Tianyou ignored him, minding his own business, pouring himself a cup of tea, took a sip, as if pondering something.

Baili Xia stood up, walked to Fan Yi’s side, bent over, and helped him up.

“Alright, winning and losing are common in battles, losing once is just that, win it back next time.”

“Let me examine you to see how serious it is.”

Fan Yi nodded heavily, feeling immensely grateful towards Baili Xia.

Thinking she would also blame him for bringing shame, like the Young Master, unexpectedly Miss Xiaxia even encouraged him to win back next time.

This Miss Xiaxia is really to his liking!

If she could become the Young Mistress…

“Hiss…” The beautiful thought had not yet finished when a sharp pain came from his arm.

Baili Xia was examining his wound.

After checking, there were no external injuries on his arm; only when moving it, the joint was somewhat painful.

“It’s okay, just a sprain; rest for a few days and you’ll be fine, won’t affect your competition.”

Putting down Fan Yi’s arm, she gently said.

“Um, thank you, Miss Xiaxia.” Fan Yi was also somewhat relieved.

If this injury led to him not being able to exert himself in the competition, his guilt towards Bei Tianyou would be significant.

Baili Xia strolled back to the sofa and sat down again.

Looking at Bei Tianyou, she slowly said, “The opponent has already shown mercy, otherwise this arm would have been crippled.”

“What? He showed me mercy?” Fan Yi was a bit dazed when speaking, not daring to believe Baili Xia’s words.

“Indeed, if the opponent hadn’t shown mercy and exerted more force, your bone might have been broken. I believe he could easily do it.”

Baili Xia said calmly, her gaze falling on Bei Tianyou.

Bei Tianyou remained calm and serene, yet Baili Xia could tell that there was slight restraint hidden in his brows.

This restraint was similar to what she saw the previous days when hearing about Qin Yu’s mishap.

“How could Nangong Yun have such an expert by her side? Her subordinates could at most draw with you.”

Bei Tianyou pondered deeply for a while, then suddenly said faintly.

He had a relatively good understanding of the Bei Family’s situation.

There shouldn’t be such an expert by Nangong Yun’s side, unless they are newly arrived.
