Just now, Yang Zhe sent a telepathic message to Li Jin before he left.

Yang Zhe ranked first among the contestants and sat at the front, while Li Jin was in the middle.

Several other contestants stood between the two, including Liu Feiyun, Tie Weiqi, and Shen Kuan, all of whom possessed martial arts skills. While Liu Feiyun and Shen Kuan's skills were not particularly high, Tie Weiqi was at the peak of the eighth rank, making him a formidable opponent.

But Yang Zhe transmitted his voice without any restraint. The reason was simple: he relied on his peak ninth-grade cultivation.

There are very few martial artists in the world who have reached the Grandmaster level, and each of them has a name and a reputation.

Aside from renowned Grandmaster-level figures, Yang Zhe could roam freely wherever he went, thanks to his cultivation level. Therefore, he naturally had no reservations about transmitting his voice.

He never expected that Chu Xiaoxiao, the most skilled martial artist in this world, was sitting quietly not far from him. Therefore, Chu Xiaoxiao heard his telepathic message to Li Jin perfectly.

In fact, Chu Xiaoxiao had overheard He Yunxiao's careful telepathic communication, but she simply wasn't interested in paying attention to him.

Now, upon hearing the keywords "Du Yinyun" and "Chu Family Army" in the telepathic message, Chu Xiaoxiao became interested.

She transmitted her voice to He Yunxiao, saying, "Yang Zhe just transmitted his voice to Li Jin."

Upon hearing Chu Xiaoxiao's half-finished sentence, He Yunxiao knew that this girl was up to no good again.

He deliberately asked, "What did you say?"

Chu Xiaoxiao said, "If you want to know, chop off one of your hands and exchange it with me."

Holy crap, this little girl is still holding a grudge about me biting her.

He Yunxiao transmitted his voice, "Chuchu, are you holding a grudge?"

Chu Xiaoxiao said, "I never hold grudges. Also, you are not allowed to call me Chu Chu."

It's clearly just holding a grudge...

He Yunxiao said, "Chuchu, I already know what Yang Zhe said."

Chu Xiaoxiao said, "You can hear his telepathic communication too? Don't call me Chu Chu."

He Yunxiao said, "Chuchu, I can't hear you. But I can guess what Chuchu is like."

Chu Xiaoxiao said, "I don't believe it. You are not allowed to call me Chu Chu."

He Yunxiao said, "How about this, Chuchu, we make a bet?"

Chu Xiaoxiao asked, "What are we betting on?"

This time he didn't argue, great!

Seeing that Chu Xiaoxiao was gradually getting used to being called "Chu Chu", He Yunxiao felt quite proud, with a feeling of "defeating" the number one in the world.

He Yunxiao said, "Let's bet on whether I can guess what Yang Zhe is saying in his telepathic message. If I can't guess, I'll give you a palm strike; if I can guess, you'll do something for me."

Chu Xiaoxiao said, "Okay. Aren't you afraid I'll disown you?"

After the incident where Chu Xiaoxiao directly gave him the antidote, He Yunxiao had come to understand the girl's true character and her ability to keep her word.

I'm afraid you won't acknowledge someone who dares to give me the antidote directly.

Seeing Chu Xiaoxiao agree, He Yunxiao thought to himself: Hehe, you've fallen for it, Miss Chu.

He Yunxiao said, "Lord Chu Chu is a woman of her word, and naturally she would not stoop to such petty tricks."

He Yunxiao watched as Chu Xiaoxiao slightly curled the corners of her lips.

She's currently reciting poetry on stage, so she's only half "Chuchu" in a state of composure, maintaining a blank expression but lacking the aloofness one might expect. Even so, her smile at this moment is completely different from the usually cheerful "Xiaoxiao".

Her current smile is like a deep red, thorny, and poisonous rose in full bloom—beautiful, stunning, and dangerous.

He Yunxiao was stunned.

Of course, it only lasted for a moment.

Chu Xiaoxiao said, "Speak."

He Yunxiao said, "Yang Zhe must be referring to the matter of letting Li Jin compete for Du Yinyun, thereby gaining control of the Chu family army."

Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly fell silent.

She looked up at He Yunxiao, this spoiled brat with only an eighth-rank cultivation level, who could actually "hear" Yang Zhe's words, a ninth-rank cultivator. Even if it was a guess, it was still incredibly unbelievable.

Initially, she only intended to use He Yunxiao to deal with women who got close to Chu Fan. But now, this man named He Yunxiao is not only resolute but also exceptionally capable, skilled in poetry and strategy, making him increasingly unpredictable.

However, Chu Xiaoxiao was a woman of her word and had no intention of going back on her word.

"what do you want to do?"

He Yunxiao laughed inwardly.

What do you mean by "number one in the world"? She's still just a sixteen-year-old girl, too young to know the wickedness of the world.

He Yunxiao had already figured out what to do, but not now; he would wait until later.

The next female lead, Fan Ziruo, is no pushover. If things don't go smoothly with her, this opportunity can be used to win over Chu Xiaoxiao and get her to let her off the hook or give her more time.

"I haven't decided yet, I'll let you know when I do."

Just when everyone thought the conversation was over, Chu Xiaoxiao said, "You called me 'Chu Chu' five times just now, and I won't hold it against you. Tomorrow at Chenshi (7-9 AM), behind Chunfeng Tower, you will face my five moves."

"I never hold grudges" and "I won't hold it against you."

He Yunxiao's lips twitched. Was that supposed to be taking five of your moves?

That was just getting beaten up.

He was afraid that Chu Xiaoxiao had hit him too hard, so he quickly tried to recall what he had just said. After calculating, he realized that he had called out "Chu Chu" six times.

But he wouldn't righteously correct Chu Xiaoxiao, saying, "Wouldn't it be better to get beaten less often?"

He Yunxiao said, "I have something to do tomorrow..."

That's true. He Yunxiao plans to find the antidote for the Soul-Devouring Pill during the day and ask Sister Jiang for money in the evening. It's going to be another fulfilling day.

Chu Xiaoxiao said, "If you want to die, don't come."

He Yunxiao: ...

He Yunxiao: "I'll definitely go tomorrow!"

...

Chu Fan wasn't disappointed that he hadn't been able to compete in the poetry contest. He wasn't even disappointed that he had missed the opportunity to meet Du Yinyun.
