The line for the lottery was very long, stretching past one or two stands. Tu Nian followed two fellow clansmen and stood at the end of the line. The three of them chatted from time to time to pass the little free time they had left.
As Yuqing's top seed in this competition, Su Youzhi participated in the sword competition and sect melee in the last two days of the competition.
According to this, she doesn't need to watch every other competition, but her image as a beautiful and kind-hearted junior sister is there, and so many senior brothers and sisters are good friends with her. If she doesn't watch any of them, it will seem that she is not paying enough attention.
Helplessly, she could only follow the team and sit bored in the sun every day, accepting the admiration of her senior brothers. She thought that these six days would pass so dully, but who would have thought that today's boredom had just begun and she found something new.
"That's... Tu Nian?"
Looking at the smiling face in the drawing team, Su Youzhi's eyes were full of disbelief.
"Tu Nian? How come?"
Xiao Yunxiang was startled when he heard the voice and quickly looked at the group drawing lots. When he recognized the person at the end of the group, his face showed the same disbelief as hers. "Didn't she switch to practicing talismans? How could she be participating in the formation competition?"
Su Youzhi's eyes darkened slightly. He pursed his lips and thought for a moment before saying, "Looking at the first two competitions in Jixue, it seems that there will be enough people to participate in each game, but it is just a sufficient number of people. Only one of them can actually perform well."
Xiao Yunxiang suddenly understood and nodded, "If she is the one who made up the numbers, then it does make sense."
"But we can't rule out the possibility that she has cultivated a new formation to participate in the competition."
At this point, Su Youzhi glanced sideways at Xiao Yunxiang, "Brother, have you forgotten what happened at Daluoyan that day?"
"Of course I haven't forgotten."
Xiao Yunxiang lowered his eyes and said coldly.
He remembered it very clearly. On that day, Tu Nian robbed Jinwu and stole the same top-grade treasure from him. Wasn't Fang Yuan, the eldest disciple of the Blue Sea Sect Leader, colluding with her?
"So what should we do? I was expecting her to make an appearance, but I didn't expect it to be so early. Everything has been handed over to the talisman master and the disciples fighting in the sect. Should I go and tell the formation master?"
Lowering his voice, Xiao Yunxiang asked Su Youzhi.
They had been preparing for Tu Nian's design in this competition for a long time.
In response, Su Youzhi did not answer, but turned his head to look at the hooded man next to him, "What do you think?"
A clear female voice rang out from under the hood, "She's not a foil."
Su Youzhi was silent for a moment, then he curled his lips into a smile, "Then I'll leave this matter to you."
"good."
The hooded woman responded simply, leaving her seat and heading for the draw. Xiao Yunxiang watched her disappear into the stands with suspicion, and asked worriedly, "Will this work? What if she's unreliable..."
"Don't worry," Su Youzhi propped up his face and looked at Tu Nian in the crowd from afar with a subtle expression, "When enemies do something like this, they are much more careful than their opponents."
…
After about a quarter of an hour, the drawing ceremony finally came to an end.
Tu Nian was the last one to get the signature slip. She held the slip in her hand and begged for a long time, trembling. She thought to herself that as long as she was not in the first or second group, she would accept to go on stage at any time.
The result... is what I said.
"One group!"
The signature slips of the three people in the sect were put together, and the other two who were just doing nothing stared blankly at Tu Nian's signature slip, with confused looks on their faces.
"What should I do?" Tu Nian was in tears.
She understood Murphy's Law, but why would it show up at such a critical moment?!
Not to mention the other two people, one in a group of five and the other in a group of seven, there was also a low EQ person in the middle who immediately hit her with the knife, "Everyone has drawn, and there is still a group left for you. I really don't know whether to say you are lucky or unlucky..."
"Stop talking."
She would rather believe that it was the Tushan bloodline that was causing trouble and that everything was the best arrangement.
After bidding farewell to the two paddler athletes with a sad face, Tu Nian handed the sign slip to the referee and reluctantly lined up in the first group.
"Oh, isn't that a coincidence?"
When Tu Nian was still immersed in the sorrow of drawing the ghost sign, a familiar voice came from the front. She looked up, then quickly turned her head away again, and her whole state became even more sorrowful.
"It seems like you are destined to be taught a lesson by me."
Zhang Yang lives up to his name. He is afraid that others can't see how awesome he is. He swings the whisk in his hand like the tail of a stallion in heat.
Fortunately, the referee had finished counting the number of people and started to call the first group to prepare to go on stage, so Tu Nian was able to avoid being annoyed by him again.
Taking a deep breath, she brushed shoulders with him and walked onto the arena. She then glanced back at him with a look of regret. "There are some things I didn't want to say, but I felt that if I didn't, you probably wouldn't realize it."
"Most of the time, I don't argue with people for three reasons. First, the other person is right. Second, the other person doesn't know what they're talking about, so there's no point in arguing with them. Third, their appearance doesn't match any of the truths I say."
Shaking her head with a complicated expression, she said, "Unfortunately, you are not one of the first two."
After she finished speaking, she no longer paid attention to the superior brother with a really sorry appearance, and walked onto the fighting stage with her head held high, feeling everything in the field nervously but firmly.
"Hey, Tu Nian."
On the terrace, Xue Shiqian, who had been looking bored, sat up straight the moment he saw Tu Nian come out, and looked towards the field with a lively look. "I was actually drawn into the first group to play? That's not very lucky..."
Nie Yanchen was worried that Tu Nian was under a lot of pressure, so he was inevitably a little nervous. Furthermore, Xue Shiqian was chattering in his ear, and he said angrily, "Why are you chasing after my disciple instead of going to see your own disciples?"
Xue Shiqian sighed and said, "To be honest, with the level of those little bastards in my sect, at most they are better than Tu Nian in terms of experience and basic knowledge. When it comes to innovation and understanding, no one can compare with her. So what's the point?"
