Chapter 1249 I forfeit this round of competition
Yun Guiyue pushed Jun Xuanche away seriously, then stared at the old woman and said to Mu Jin, "The old woman comes and goes without a trace, how did you manage to invite her?"
Speaking of this, Mu Jin looked like he had something to say but couldn't express it. He frowned and whispered in Yun Guiyue's ear, "I didn't invite him here, he came here on his own. I... can't even chase him away."
Originally, this last position was intended to be reserved for an elder of the royal family, or for someone from the Yun family, but after this guy came, she refused to leave no matter what, so she had no choice but to let her stay here.
Of course, the most fundamental reason is that the old man is strong enough, and he can't drive him away by force, so he has to stay.
The old woman moved her ears and listened to all the sounds, but she did not even lift her eyelids, and even closed her eyes and began to doze off.
Mu Jin and Yun Guiyue: "..."
That's all.
When the time came, Mu Jin waved his hand, and the host immediately announced, "The competition for first to tenth place in the Beiqing Empire Genius Competition begins now!
The competition will be conducted by drawing lots, with two groups competing simultaneously. Now, everyone can start preparing for the draw."
Everyone was ready to go, and everyone was a little nervous.
In a draw-based competition, in addition to strength, luck is also very important. If you meet a tough opponent, you can only be ranked tenth.
But in a competition like this, even a difference of only one place can make a world of difference.
So everyone prayed that they would not meet Fang Ping.
Fang Ping also sat in his seat, quietly watching everyone draw lots, until everyone had drawn their lots and only the last one remained.
At this point, everyone who should have found their match has already found one, leaving only one person without a pair.
Du Yan.
Du Yan, who had a chubby face like a baby, looked at Fang Ping and then he sighed deeply.
"It's over, I'm going to be tenth..."
Everyone couldn't help but sigh when seeing this scene, because Du Yan's performance in the previous rounds was very outstanding, and almost everyone thought he was second only to Fang Ping. But at this time, Fang Ping was drawn, so wouldn't he only be tenth?
But the next moment, Fang Ping's voice rang out in everyone's ears:
"I forfeit this round."
"What? Did I hear correctly? He's actually going to give up? He's already competed this far, and he's actually going to give up. Wouldn't that mean all his efforts are wasted?"
"Yes, first place is a piece of cake for him, not to mention that he hasn't even summoned his contracted beast in the first few rounds. It would be a shame to give up now."
"Is it possible...that he doesn't actually want first place in this competition?"
No one noticed that Mu Jin's face, who was sitting on the judges' panel, was terribly gloomy.
Yun Guiyue's expression changed slightly.
Fang Ping's behavior shows that he disregards the imperial power, as if participating in this competition is just a stepping stone for him.
As for what the stepping stone is...
It was probably his stepping stone to get in touch with the Yun family.
What Yun Guiyue could think of, it was not difficult for Mu Jin to think of, so his expression looked so ugly at this moment.
Fang Ping was not afraid at all. After saying he would give up, he even looked at Yun Guiyue.
The host glanced back at Mu Jin's expression, then asked Fang Ping, "Are you sure you want to give up this competition? If you do, all your previous results will be invalidated, you will lose your eligibility to compete, and you will not be allowed to participate in the Genius Competition in the future."
