Yun Jingting bowed respectfully to His Majesty and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. My father is doing well."
The Lord nodded with satisfaction, "That's good."
As he spoke, the Lord glanced at Duan Qingxi's location vaguely, frightening Duan Qingxi so much that the hairs on his body stood up.
The smile on his face widened, and he continued to ask, "Then...how about your mother?"
Yun Jingting was stunned for a moment, and his expression seemed to become even gentler. "Mother and brother should be fine too. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
Duan Qingxi: ...???
It would be fine if the people of the Yun family mistakenly thought she was a boy, but the Lord clearly knew that she was a girl. Why wasn't he surprised at all when he heard Yun Jingting say that?
And, Your Majesty...what's the meaning of your evil smile?
At this time, Rong Xu whispered to Duan Qingxi, "This person is our formidable rival. The Yun family is a Qinglong family. The head of the Yun family has six sons. The youngest one is unknown, but the fifth son is incredibly talented! He's only fifteen years old, but he's already broken through to the eighth level! Even the eldest son of the Yun family, the future head of the family, has only just broken through to the ninth level! Therefore, the monarch is quite partial to this family. Now, in the entire Lingdu, who dares to challenge the Yun family?!"
After a pause, he continued, "But I heard that the Lord and the Patriarch of the Yun Family have been friends since childhood. Back then, the Lord was born first, and the Patriarch of the Yun Family was born later. It was said that if the Patriarch of the Yun Family gave birth to a girl, they would have arranged a marriage. But unexpectedly, the birthplace was a fat boy, which was a pity for many people. When the Lord was young, he was ignorant and saw that the Patriarch of the Yun Family was good-looking, so he insisted on taking her back to the palace to raise her!"
Duan Qingxi: ...Oh wow, there is such a story!
No wonder I felt they had a special relationship the first time I saw them!
Wen Yu naturally listened as well, and whispered, "Alright, stop talking nonsense, and let's compete seriously later."
Rong Xu was a little embarrassed when his tutor overheard him gossiping and even scolded him. "Oh, okay!"
After some greetings, the competition officially began.
There are actually a lot of supplies, but because people from the four major colleges insist on excluding Tianhao College, they divide these supplies into five different rewards. The first place gets the best supplies, the second place gets the inferior supplies, and so on. The last place gets not only the worst supplies, but also the quantity is pitifully small.
Of course, as Wen Yu said, these are just formalities.
If they win, the four major colleges will still be able to get the best supplies. If they lose, they will definitely get the worst supplies.
That's too shameless!
The rules of the competition are actually very simple, which is to draw lots among the colleges.
The representatives of the colleges that are drawn will go on stage and accept challenges from others. If they win, they will get one point, but if they lose, they will get one point from others. Then the winner will stand on the stage to accept challenges from others, regardless of college. The last person standing on the stage will be the first place. The second, third, fourth and fifth places will be determined by the points lost and won.
The tutors from the five colleges went to draw lots. Whether it was good luck or bad luck, Wen Yu drew the lot to go on stage.
Rong Xu blinked and asked, "...Then, who among us will go on stage?"
Ji Yichen said, "If we send our worst students, they will definitely send their best students, and we will definitely lose a point. But if we send our best students, they will be very tired if they keep accepting challenges from others. By then, when their masters come to challenge us, we will have very few people left."
Yun Ting was confused. "So should we go up or not?"
Lan Yue said, "Of course we will, but Yi Chen's consideration is correct. Why don't we send those among you with moderate strength first?"
Everyone nodded, and Ye Xun said, "Then I'll go up?"
"good."
Although Ye Xun was nervous, he had been trained by Duan Qingxi for quite some time, and his strength had greatly increased compared to before. In addition, he had fought with the Red Flame Tiger before, so he was also somewhat famous.
As soon as he took the stage, the other houses scoffed, "Sending the best from the house so soon is foolish."
But they didn't know that no matter how powerful Ye Xun was, he was only average among the people who came.
Ye Xun accepted the challenge on the stage, and the four major colleges each sent their own middle-level students to test his strength, but they all lost!
