Quan Ji listened, pretending that she had never understood.

She said, "Lan is really amazing, she knows so many things that I don't."

Then, the piece of wood was successfully stolen.

He blushed and patted the back of his head, saying shyly, "These... are all in the books. You read them a few nights ago."

Quan Ji: "..."

Oh dear... oh dear, how could she not have thought of this? How embarrassing.

Jun Chenlan countered, "From now on, you need to focus on your reading and not let your mind wander. Otherwise, you'll waste time and learn nothing, which is a waste of time, understand?"

Quan Ji suddenly felt like she was Jun Chenlan's student.

She coughed twice and awkwardly said, "Okay."

Jun Chenlan looked at the girl helplessly and reached out to hug her shoulders.

He asked, "Kwon Ji, have you ever been bungee jumping?"

Quan Ji was momentarily confused about Jun Chenlan's train of thought. How did he suddenly get involved in bungee jumping?

She shook her head.

Jun Chenlan's dark eyes gleamed with anticipation as he asked, "Do you want to play?"

Quan Ji's eyes widened, and she suddenly had a very bad premonition.

But seeing Jun Chenlan's expectant look, she gave in.

"Let's try...let's give it a shot."

She used to cherish her reputation and valued her life highly, never daring to do anything reckless.

But... if Jun Chenlan thought that way, he couldn't possibly take himself with him to die.

It's not impossible to try it once.

As he spoke, Jun Chenlan said in a hoarse voice, "Hold me tight."

Quan Ji instinctively hugged Jun Chenlan's waist tightly, feeling a powerful aura emanating from him, and his body felt incredibly strong.

"I'm in."

With that, Jun Chenlan jumped down from the clouds with Quan Ji in his arms.

In that instant, the sound of the wind drowned out all the screams, leaving only excitement and thrill.

Jun Chenlan held Quan Ji in his arms, and the two of them plummeted vertically through the air.

This was the first time Quan Ji had experienced something like this, and she felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

Her blood was rushing through her body, every cell was becoming more and more active, and she felt as if she had been set ablaze with energy.

Cool!

That was the only word left in Quan Ji's mind.

Like meteors falling, just before they hit the ground, Jun Chenlan guided Quan Ji to unleash an extremely powerful energy that slammed into the ground.

whoosh whoosh—

A crack passed by, and the two floated in mid-air like soft clouds, as if it had just been an illusion.

Everyone else in the central city was stunned.

"Marshal Jun... Marshal Jun?!"

"Could it be that some extraordinary figure has emerged at today's Preacher Rising Star Competition, that even Marshal Jun has personally graced us with his presence?!"

"How can you be so sure it's the Rising Star Tournament? Our Central City has more than just the Rising Star Tournament!"

"Fool! Look at the girl in Marshal Jun's arms. Her clothes and appearance clearly indicate that she is a missionary!"

"Holy crap... How come Marshal Jun is holding a girl?!"

...

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Marshal Jun held an extremely high status and was a frequent visitor to their central city.

But this was the first time they had ever seen Marshal Jun bring a girl to the Central City.

Who is this girl?!

Immediately, someone broke the news.

"This is the Holy Lady Quan, whom the gods recently announced! She is also Marshal Jun's fiancée!"

hiss--

Everyone gasped.

Marshal Jun's fiancée is also participating in this Rising Star Competition?!

Although the name Quan Ji is not unfamiliar to everyone, it is only to a certain extent.

The average quality of the people in the Central City is above that of residents of a Level 5 Empire, and they only care about outstanding young people or big shots who have already achieved great success.

For someone like Quan Ji, the biggest highlight they could think of was...

Marshal Jun's fiancée.

The only one to be granted a Holy Seal.

These two identities.

The rest are completely unworthy of attention.

However, no one expected that Quan Ji was actually a missionary who could participate in the Rising Star Tournament as a representative of a faction!

Everyone quickly realized it.

"Wait... could her outfit be... a representative of Azure Academy?"

"Huh... Didn't Azure Academy not produce a Preacher for five years? When did they get another one? Could it be that they really didn't have anyone who could perform this year, and they just put together someone at the last minute?"

"Shh... Keep your voice down, they're still here. Do you want to be hung on the city gate by Marshal Jun?"

The man was spreading alarmist rumors, so I immediately shut up.

However, Kwon Ji listened to all these rumors.

Jun Chenlan said with a guilty expression, "I'm...I'm sorry, it's all..."

Quan Ji smiled and said, "What's the big deal? They can't remember my name, but I have plenty of ways to make them remember it. Come on, take me to the Rising Star Tournament venue. Master is probably already waiting."

Jun Chenlan said "okay" and led Quan Ji in one direction.

As he walked, he turned his head, and a powerful sword beam cleaved a tree next to the man who had just spoken in two.

The man was so scared he wet himself.

Apart from that, Jun Chenlan didn't do anything out of line again.

He had already made a promise to Kwon Ji.

Princess Quan protects the world, and he protects Princess Quan.

...

The Rising Stars Competition is being held at the headquarters of the Missionaries Association, which is now packed with people queuing up to qualify for the competition.
