Liu Qingqing certainly hadn't considered continuing to deal with Zhou Minggao. They weren't the same type of people to begin with. Even the reason she took Zhou Minggao in was simply because he was too clingy, and because she needed help at the time, and Zhou Minggao's status and position were just right for it.

However, it is different now, or rather, it has been different since Liu Qingqing knew about the existence of the meta-world. From that time on, Liu Qingqing no longer needed Zhou Minggao.

An Yanxi nodded, not quite understanding. It didn't take long anyway, so he didn't mind waiting any longer.

During the following period of time, An Yanxi and other members of the team deliberately avoided Zhou Minggao. They did not want to continue to associate with Zhou Minggao.

However, Zhou Minggao always pretended that nothing had happened and continued to learn ancient martial arts from Liu Qingqing. Liu Qingqing also never mentioned anything about Zhou Minggao.

Just like that, the one-year deadline was approaching. Zhou Minggao seemed to have sensed something during this period, and he always felt a little anxious.

It was as if something was slowly moving away from him, but Zhou Minggao couldn't figure out what it was. Zhou Minggao knew that he and Liu Qingqing were becoming increasingly distant, but he just didn't show it on the surface.

As for the fact that he did not acknowledge Liu Qingqing as his master and instead recognized a capable person as his master, he did not think there was anything wrong with it.

People always strive for higher goals, and he felt that what he did was absolutely right!

Although he knew Liu Qingqing was very capable, she just seemed so relaxed all the time. Even the other members of the team seemed indifferent to the competition, which made Zhou Minggao very anxious.

So he made this decision. Liu Qingqing was not happy to win but he was different. He just wanted to stand at the top and attract everyone's attention.
