At this point in the competition, Guan Qingyun was only one step away from becoming the Right Priest. What if Guan Qingyun got carried away and really started fighting Han Yongzhen? Would Han Yongzhen fight him or not?
In terms of strength, Han Yongzhen is definitely far superior to Guan Qingyun, otherwise Guan Xiujin would not have used him as a surprise weapon. But Guan Qingyun is Guan Xiujin's only beloved son, how dare he really take action? If he is accidentally injured by Guan Qingyun, wouldn't it be a big deal?
Although Jiang Ruchu had long given up the idea of becoming an enemy of Mu Hanyan, and Kong Renhe had also begun to back down, Guan Xiujing was determined not to compromise. Now that things had come to this, for the sake of the Temple of Life and his own future, he had no choice but to persevere.
"Don't worry, Lord Kong, I have already made arrangements." Guan Xiu Jin nodded and said.
Hearing him say this, Kong Renhe and others felt relieved.
As they spoke, Han Yongzhen and Guan Qingyun had already walked onto the competition stage. Han Yongzhen bowed to Guan Qingyun and suddenly spoke, saying something that surprised everyone: "I, Han Yongzhen, forfeit!"
"What!" When these words came out, Jiang Ruchu, Kong Renhe and others were all stunned.
Abstaining, Han Yongzhen actually abstained! Wasn't he the surprise force deployed by the High Priest, waiting for the final showdown with Mu Hanyan? Why would he abstain?
If he gave up, wouldn't the final match be between Guan Qingyun and Mu Hanyan? With his limited strength, how could he possibly be Mu Hanyan's opponent? What was the intention of the High Priest in making such an arrangement?
The crowd was stunned. Was Guan Qingyun just here to gain experience? Why would Guan Xiujin have him in the final battle? Wasn't that a clear nod to Mu Hanyan as the chief priest? If he truly had such ulterior motives, why had he targeted Mu Hanyan so often? Was it really as he said, "Heaven bestows a great mission upon one who has suffered and endured hardships?" Even if that were the case, it was Heaven's business, none of his business. They didn't believe Guan Xiujin had such deliberate intentions, nor did they believe he had such good intentions.
Among all the people, there were probably only two people who looked the same, without any surprise at all, and even looked understanding.
One was Liu Taian, who was sitting behind Guan Xiujin, and the other was Mu Hanyan, who was standing in the audience.
As expected, her final opponent wasn't Han Yongzhen, but Guan Qingyun. But what exactly did Guan Qingyun rely on, and where did Guan Xiujin's confidence in him come from? She certainly didn't believe Guan Xiujin's arrangement was intended to hand the position of Right Priestess over to her.
"Guan Qingyun wins this match. In the next match, Guan Qingyun will face Mu Hanyan!" Without giving everyone too much time to wonder, the referee announced impatiently.
After drying for several hours, he couldn't wait any longer. What's more, he had been standing on the stage for so long that he had to pee urgently.
The long tolling of an ancient bell and the deep blast of a horn rang out simultaneously, marking the beginning of the final battle to determine the position of the right priest.
Under the competition stage, everyone stretched their necks and was extremely alert.
In the stands, Kong Renhe and the others were full of confusion, but they also opened their eyes wide.
Under everyone's expectant gaze, Shu Hanyan and Guan Qingyun walked onto the competition stage at the same time.
"Mu Hanyan, you didn't expect that your final opponent would be me!" Guan Qingyun said proudly and confidently.
"Aren't you afraid of death? Wasn't the lesson Huayu City taught you last time enough?" Mu Hanyan looked at Guan Qingyun with contempt.
Look at how cocky this guy is. He really thinks everyone is a fool. Unfortunately, others are stupid, but Mu Hanyan is not. She has already guessed that Guan Qingyun will be her opponent in the final battle. What is there for this guy to be proud of?
