Chapter 448 – Inter-School Basketball Tournament (Part Two)

The icy, subdued tone was cold and sharp as frost. Having followed Di Junxie for so long, Mo Yuxiang understood the meaning behind this tone—the Young Emperor truly cared deeply about Miss Yunxi!

“Keep her well protected!”

After saying this, Di Junxie hung up the phone, his exceptionally handsome face dark and gloomy.

Even if Ye Yunxi possessed the power to destroy heaven and earth, he would absolutely never exploit her.

This was the woman he loved—not because of her extraordinary abilities, nor because of her miraculous Medicinal Pills, but simply because this person was Ye Yunxi!

It was precisely this affection that could soothe the bloodthirsty restlessness within him!

Therefore, Yunxi’s gifts belonged to Yunxi alone. He would not covet them, and others should not even think about it!

Hearing the Young Emperor’s instructions, Mo Yuxiang let out a long sigh.

If they had this Medicinal Pill, the Di Family’s position would undoubtedly be much more secure!

But the Young Emperor was unwilling to let Miss Yunxi feel that he was using her.

Emotions like love were truly powerful—powerful enough to make even the ruthless and fierce Young Emperor become gentle and kind.

Somehow, it felt rather irritating!

Mo Yuxiang thought to himself, but there was nothing he could do. He could only sigh again and slowly make his way to the Classroom.

After half a month of training, the inter-school basketball competition officially began.

Jun Yao had only eight classes per grade level, meaning they would need to play four matches before advancing to the final school-wide competition.

Ye Yunxi was in Class One. Gao Shuying brought over the team jerseys embroidered with “Class One, Grade Ten” and excitedly called everyone to change into them.

Bai Ruoyue cast a displeased glance at Ye Yunxi before coldly walking away.

Making sure no one was following her, Bai Ruoyue went downstairs and turned into a small pavilion in the greenbelt.

Zhang Qi was already waiting there. The young man had a towel draped over his head and wore a snow-white Basketball uniform. Hearing the noise, he slowly lifted his head, the shadows on his face gradually fading to reveal sharp, handsome features.

Bai Ruoyue’s face instantly flushed red.

Zhang Qi was quite popular in the tenth grade. Although he hadn’t made it into the top three school heartthrobs, he could still rank within the top ten.

“Hey, Bai Ruoyue, what brings your old classmate here?”

Zhang Qi grinned as he looked over. Bai Ruoyue instinctively sat closer, tilting her head to gaze at his handsome profile. “Um, I just wanted to tell you—be sure to watch out for Ye Yunxi. She can throw the ball into the basket with her eyes closed! A backshot, do you know what a backshot is?”

“Hahaha, that fierce?” Zhang Qi couldn’t help but laugh heartily, his bright face seeming to glow with a golden light, making Bai Ruoyue’s cheeks burn even redder.

“C-can’t you be serious? I’m telling the truth! She stood on the boundary line and made a backshot—our whole class saw it! If you want to win, you have to mark Ye Yunxi tightly!”

Bai Ruoyue grew anxious. Truthfully, she hoped Zhang Qi would win because… she really liked him!

“Haha, how is that possible? I’m the man aiming for the scoring title—how would I have time to mark just one person?” Zhang Qi chuckled and stretched lazily. “If Ye Yunxi is really that good, then I’d accept defeat willingly. Thanks for the heads-up!”

Zhang Qi stood up, ruffled Bai Ruoyue’s hair, and waved with a smile before walking away.

His retreating figure was carefree, and his white jersey looked incredibly dashing. Bai Ruoyue’s face remained slightly flushed.

It seemed Zhang Qi hadn’t taken her warning seriously, but she refused to accept it!

She would not let Ye Yunxi take first place!By the way, there were people she knew in Class Eight, so she went to inform them as well!!

Keep a close eye on Ye Yunxi!

Everyone, keep a close eye on Ye Yunxi and stop her from scoring!!

Bai Ruoyue gritted her teeth and thought.
