Liu Yao was taken aback when he heard her address him as "old gentleman".

Here, only sages and wise men with countless disciples are usually addressed as "Teacher," so he was momentarily taken aback by this title.

The person behind Liu Yao tugged at him, bringing him back to his senses. He looked at Shu Jianyue and asked, "Is Palace Master Shu truly capable of fighting beyond her level?"

Shu Jianyue was speechless. Why did she have to repeat herself for every single question?

"Yes, otherwise why do you think I could suppress someone at the first stage of Tribulation Transcending without being able to make a move, even though I'm only one level higher?"

"If you don't believe me, I don't mind having a contest with you, but if you get hurt, don't blame me."

She actually preferred to win without lifting a finger and just sit here and wait for the result.

But now, everyone is eyeing their own Supreme Temple, this new piece of meat, as if they'd be missing out if they didn't take a bite.

Liu Yao wasn't at the competition venue at the time, so he didn't know and looked at the sect leader of the Bronze Sect.

The sect leader coughed lightly and nodded.

Everyone can see this clearly. Even if he wanted to win, he couldn't gamble with the Supreme Elder. If he lost the Supreme Elder, the Bronze Sect would drop several places in the rankings.

Liu Yao glared at him secretly, then smiled at Shu Jianyue and said, "Since that's the case, then this old man won't make a fool of himself."

After Liu Yao sat down, Shu Jianyue stood up, looked around, and said, "Anyone who has a problem with me sitting in the second seat, speak up now. If you do it after this time, don't blame me for being ruthless, no matter if you admit defeat or not."

Shu Jianyue looked around again, and seeing that no one else was standing up, she smiled and sat back down.

Yeah, it feels pretty good to win without even having to fight.
