But in the end, no matter what, Yaoyao won this round, without a doubt.
"This is only the top 100! It's a mixed bag. We probably won't be so lucky later on."
But none of this could change the fact that Yao Yao was shortlisted.
Yao Yao stepped off the stage amidst the envious and jealous gazes of those around her. After all, even with the best luck, not everyone is lucky enough to be in the top 100 and still have such incredible luck.
After stepping down from the stage, Yao Yao planned to check on the battle situation on Xu Chi's side. Just as she turned a corner, she ran into someone.
Hmm... she's quite good-looking, but...
"Young master, is there something you need from me?"
Qi Yun asked with a smile, "You're hiding your skills?" Yao Yao didn't care about what he said, since he would reveal them sooner or later anyway. "Why do you think I'm hiding my skills? Maybe I'm just lucky and will win with a good sword?"
Qi Yun affirmed, "No, this is definitely not a matter of luck. Besides his superb martial arts and iron fan, the Smiling Young Master's lightness skill is also superb. Yet you were able to get behind him so easily. Truly lucky people don't have this ability."
"Alright, then that just means I'm good at light footwork. So, what do you need me for?"
Qi Yun's eyes flickered. "Would you be willing to become my retainer? To serve me?"
Is he trying to win her over? Yao Yao couldn't help but think about it seriously. The martial arts tournament has been going on for so long, and she hasn't shown any particular skill. Does he really think he's hiding his true abilities?
"No, I already belong to a sect. Please accept my kindness."
Seeing Yao Yao refuse, Qi Yun was somewhat surprised, "Do you know that I am..."
Yao Yao interrupted him, "I don't care who you are. I said I won't agree, and that's final. Please step aside."
Qi Yun was also a proud person, and being rejected three times made him angry. "Hmph, just don't regret it later."
He turned and left, and as soon as Qi Yun was gone, his men chased after him.
"Master, this kid is so ungrateful, should we..." He made a throat-slitting gesture.
Qi Yun said coldly, "No need. He's just a disciple of a small sect. He'll naturally beg us on his knees when the time comes."
The subordinate was somewhat indignant. After all, their plans had been going smoothly for so many years, and no one had ever dared to disobey their master. So when they saw someone who dared to contradict their master, their desire to protect him naturally arose.
Qi Yun walked ahead, naturally unable to see the expression on his subordinate's face behind him. If he knew what his subordinate was thinking, he would be furious.
Min Liang and his group won a crushing victory without any suspense, and when Yao Yao watched from below the stage, there were cheers and jeers all around.
With the layout almost complete, the group finally had some free time and decided to explore Xie City.
As they walked, Xu Chi approached them and said, "Someone's following us."
Yao Yao and Min Liang naturally realized, "Let's shake him off first and see what he's up to."
The man following behind saw Yao Yao and her two companions chatting and laughing as they turned the corner, so he quickly caught up and passed by.
"Hey, where did this person go? How did they suddenly disappear?"
The taller one patted the shorter one on the shoulder and said, "Look at you! I told you to keep a close eye on them, but you didn't. Now you've lost them. How are you going to explain this to the adults?"
The shorter man was also somewhat confused. "I clearly watched them walk in here. Could it be that our movements were too obvious and we were discovered?"
"Never mind that, let's find it quickly, otherwise we won't be able to explain it to the adults."
Suddenly, she looked up and exclaimed, "They're over there! Quick, follow them!"
