Chu Hongluan was a little confused, but she didn't think about it too much and focused her attention on Liu Jinghong.
Why did you come here?
You see someone lusting after you.
Liu Jinghong glanced at Qiao Yue coolly again, but replied gently, "My mother sent me down to inspect. By the way, I wish Miss Chu a successful start."
"Of course, you just watch."
After saying goodbye to Liu Jinghong, Chu Hongluan went to find Gu Chunxiao. Song Nanhe was still obediently staying by Gu Chunxiao's side, but his flamboyant face looked wilted, like a frostbitten eggplant.
"Thank you very much, Young Master Song."
When Song Nanhe saw Chu Hongluan return, he visibly breathed a sigh of relief. He was usually so eloquent and thought he could quickly become friendly with anyone, but he never expected that he would be completely useless in front of this young girl!
"You're too kind, too kind." Song Nanhe cupped his hands in greeting to Chu Hongluan. "Does Miss recognize me?"
"We just met." Chu Hongluan smiled. "However, I see that Young Master Song has an extraordinary demeanor and is clearly a trustworthy person, so I entrusted my sister to him for the time being."
A hint of doubt flashed in the beautiful fox's eyes. Really? He couldn't quite believe it.
"May I ask your name, young lady?"
"Chu Hongluan".
"Chu Hongluan".
Two voices rang out at the same time.
Song Nanhe turned his gaze to behind Chu Hongluan, where a young man in black robes walked slowly towards them, his brocade robes and jade belt exuding unparalleled nobility.
"Who are you...?"
"Liu Jinghong".
"So it's Young Master Liu, my apologies for not recognizing you."
What Liu Jinghong finds most annoying is when people call him Young Master Liu. Does he not have a name?
The boy frowned and scrutinized Song Nanhe from head to toe with extreme skepticism.
He's nothing special. Why should Miss Chu personally greet him?
Chu Hongluan looked at him with a half-smile, "Weren't you on patrol? Why did you follow me again?"
"Ahem, I just happened to be patrolling this area." Liu Jinghong's arrogance instantly vanished.
"Really? Then please continue."
Liu Jinghong reluctantly gave an "oh," then gave Song Nanhe a subtle glare before slowly walking away.
Looking at her back, she seemed a little aggrieved.
Song Nanhe stood by, marveling at the sight.
This Miss Chu is no ordinary girl! He had heard about it when he arrived. Since the Spirit Mansion was shattered, Young Master Liu has become unruly and dissolute. He doesn't give face to anyone except the Pavilion Master's wife. He even kicks dogs that pass by on the street.
Moreover, it is said that Young Master Liu dislikes women the most, so it seems that the rumors are wrong.
"How did your chat go, Young Master Song and Chunxiao?"
Song Nanhe subconsciously looked at Gu Chunxiao and found that Gu Chunxiao was also looking at him. Her dark eyes were like a stagnant pool, and he could not see any emotion in them. But his intuition told him that she hoped he would give a positive answer.
"Hmm... I hit it off with Sister Gu at first sight."
?
There's no need for that.
Gu Chunxiao grabbed Chu Hongluan's clothes, which made Chu Hongluan rub her head again.
Time passed slowly, and soon the winners and losers were determined. During this time, Liu Jinghong, under the guise of patrolling, strolled over to them eight times. Each time, he would intentionally or unintentionally exchange a few words with Chu Hongluan, and secretly had someone bring over some spiritual fruits, fearing that Chu Hongluan might be thirsty.
Chu Hongluan was very accommodating and shared the fruit with Gu Chunxiao and Song Nanhe. However, after Song Nanhe finished eating the fruit, he found that his back felt increasingly cold.
After the winners' bracket and losers' bracket are separated, the winners' bracket will play against each other, and the losers' bracket will play against each other.
After the winners' bracket, the winners are classified as Grade A, and the losers are classified as Grade B.
After the losers' bracket, the winners advance to the second tier, and the losers are eliminated.
Then, teams of Group A competed against each other in pairs, and teams of Group B competed against each other in pairs.
Then, among the groups in Group A, a clear distinction is made between the better and worse groups. In Group B, the winners are promoted and merged into the worse group, while the losers are eliminated.
And so on, rankings were determined, and gradually, only ten people remained on the field.
Chu Hongluan was among them. She had a smooth journey without encountering anyone who could make her draw her sword. She ended the battle with everyone in a second without any hesitation. It was as if a max-level expert had accidentally entered a newbie village. Even the elders on the stage could not see her strength.
Song San, huddled in the crowd, trembled with fear.
He actually had quite good talent, already at the late Foundation Establishment stage, so he naturally had some confidence and arrogance. He didn't see Chu Hongluan's cultivation level at first, so he assumed that she was too weak...
Among the top ten, besides Chu Hongluan, there are Song Nanhe, Gu Chunxiao, and even the super-strong loli Qiao Yue.
Not bad, this girl. To make it all the way from the loser's bracket to the top ten shows considerable potential.
Qiao Yue noticed that Chu Hongluan was looking at her, and her face flushed slightly.
?
Chu Hongluan felt that something was off about this young girl.
The battles between the top ten will directly determine the five spots for direct disciples, so everyone should be taking it very seriously.
But Song Nanhe was secretly studying Gu Chunxiao. He had been frustrated by her, so he couldn't help but become curious about her.
Gu Chunxiao was looking at Chu Hongluan, who was the most radiant color she had ever seen in her short life of just over ten years. Just looking at her made her heart feel warm.
Qiao Yue kept her head down, her ears flushed red, and her eyes kept drifting towards Chu Hongluan. With each glance, she felt her face grow hotter.
What is Chu Hongluan doing?
She secretly winked at Liu Jinghong on the high platform, which made Liu Jinghong flustered and almost knocked over his teacup.
The highly anticipated competition for the right to be a direct disciple has finally begun.
