Zu An thought to himself, "What a mess this is! The image of a gentleman who doesn't deceive in secret that I've worked so hard to build has completely collapsed. I should have just ignored it earlier."
To ease the awkwardness, he said, "Has anyone come to see me tonight?"
"No," Xie Daoyun shook her head slightly, then suddenly remembered something, "Oh right, Biluo Palace did send someone over with gifts to express their gratitude, and also conveyed a message from Miss Pei, saying that she was recovering from her injuries with her master's help today, and that she would personally thank you in a few days."
Zu An's heart skipped a beat. He figured that Da Manman was tied up with her sect and couldn't come over. She was worried that I would be seen by her master if I went over, so she reminded me.
"Brother Zu, have you finished your business?" Xie Daoyun felt it was impolite to lie down like this, and wanted to sit up but found that her current clothes were inconvenient.
"Is it almost done? We might have to make a few more trips later." Zu'an noticed her embarrassment and stood up, saying, "Ling'er, please rest well. I won't bother you anymore."
After saying that, he ran into the inner room as if fleeing.
"Oh dear, how embarrassing!" Xie Daoyun grabbed the blanket and covered her head. "Brother Zu won't think I deliberately seduced him, will he?"
Actually, she had been feeling uneasy for the past few days, and always dressed very conservatively. But having been a pampered young lady since childhood, she had never suffered like this before.
Having gotten to know Brother Zu these past few days, I know he is a gentleman. Since he went out tonight, I went back to my usual light clothing for sleeping. I never expected that Zu An would see me like that.
Thinking about what had just happened, she felt both ashamed and angry. She wasn't angry at Zu An, but at herself, as she had no idea how to explain such a thing.
As Zu'an lay in bed, his mind was filled with the beautiful scene of the crabapple blossoms in spring. He quickly shook his head to clear his mind and began to ponder the Prince of Yan's account books, wondering whether he should hand them over if he found them.
After all, the enemy of my enemy can be my friend.
However, the image of fighting alongside the seventh-ranked gold medalist suddenly flashed through his mind, and the hesitation in his eyes gradually disappeared.
It seems I'll need to find time to contact Prefect Yi later.
However, traveling back and forth at night is too tiring. If only I had a clone technique.
Wait, does having a clone count as cheating on yourself?
...
The next day, the Zhengyang Sect had finished repairing the arena, and the various sects continued the competition that had not been completed.
At the end of the day, the winners of all nine groups were determined. Except for one group that caused an upset, the winners of the other eight groups were all the chief disciples of their respective sects.
Then the eight best-performing second-place teams began to fight each other. Because he was one of them, after being treated by various spiritual medicines from Lihentian and Guanchouhai overnight, he barely recovered some of his fighting strength.
His opponent came from Kunlun Xu and originally wanted to take advantage of his serious injury. However, the opponent seized an opening and used Iron Mountain Strike to knock him out of his mind. Then he was completely defeated by Shadowless Ball.
Perhaps it was because he was holding a grudge after losing yesterday, but he took his dribbling skills to the extreme, displaying dazzling dribbling techniques and making every attack seem unpredictable.
The surrounding disciples were all astonished. Even though he was seriously injured, he still had such exaggerated combat power, which showed how big the gap was between the chief disciple and the other disciples.
At the same time, I admire Pei Mianman even more. How could she defeat Zhiyin at his peak? What kind of monster is she?!
Besides Zhiyin, Zhao Xiaodie from Lihentian also defeated her opponents to obtain a spot. Her beautiful figure, like a colorful butterfly, left a deep impression on everyone on the Golden Summit. Coupled with her noble princess status, her popularity is rising, directly approaching that of Chu Chuyan and Pei Mianman, the two recognized goddesses.
The other two spots were taken by the Zhengyang Sect. One was Zhang Xi, the chief of Guanxin Peak who had greeted guests at the mountain gate, and the other was Song Chu, the chief of Leiyin Peak. Everyone exclaimed that the Zhengyang Sect was indeed the strongest. Out of a total of 13 spots, their sect had managed to get 3!
In the next few days, the top young generation of the nine sects will be determined. The four second-place teams from the groups will not participate. After all, the reason they became second-place teams is because they lost to the first-place team in their group. To become the top of the nine sects, they cannot lose any match.
The remaining nine people will draw lots in each round, with one person receiving a bye and the others paired up to fight.
The results of the draw are in:
Wu Xiaofan of the Zhengyang Sect faced off against Luo Dongjiang of the Luofu Mountain Sect.
Biluo Palace's Wan Guiyi faced off against Qingxu Mansion's Qiu Chanzi;
The Five Cities of Baiyujinglou faced off against the Stone Peak of Taixuan Cave;
Liang Ling of Kunlun Mountain faces off against Peng Wuyan of Kongming Island.
Pei Mianman, on the other hand, was lucky enough to get a bye!
Yun Jianyue was quite dissatisfied with this: "There must be something fishy about the big-breasted girl being given a bye. Maybe that guy is pulling some kind of shady deal!"
