She counted them patiently, "Twenty-one people."
"Bingo!" The little girl snapped her fingers in a childish manner, her big, grape-like eyes curving into a sly smile. "According to the rules, if there are four or five people in a group, that's twenty-one people. There's a high chance that the other side, plus Wu Qian, will form two groups.

Similarly, if the other party accepts Wu Qian, there will inevitably be a group of five. The next chapter will cause another minor disturbance, naturally disrupting the neat arrangement of four groups of five.
