Zhang Xuehua and Le Siyu dragged Tang Yue to a certain place and hid her there. Tang Yue looked in their direction warily.
Sure enough, the Zhenxing gate was full of people, and people from the Wuxi sect and other major sects were waiting for Tang Yue to appear.
Tang Yue: “…” What should I do?
Zhang Xuehua wiped her sweat off her forehead. "You don't know how much the leaders of these sects and schools want to recruit you. Principal Wu is almost unable to recruit them."
Le Siyu had just been anxious for a moment, but now he felt like laughing. "Junior Sister Yue, your escape from the Wuhuan Forest has shocked most people in Xinglu."
After all, one of the people who broke the curse of the Eternal Forest was actually the rumored loser. Although he had awakened his magic, he was still just a novice wizard.
"But I'm not the only one who came out of the Wuhuan Forest." Why did the Exorcist Department block her instead of surrounding her? Tang Yue looked at the group of leaders and schools, puzzled.
Le Siyu and Zhang Xuehua looked at each other and said, "I don't know who said that it was all your credit that we were able to leave the Wuhuan Forest. Your alchemy skills have already been envied by other sects and academies. Now you have left the Wuhuan Forest again and this rumor has spread..." You can imagine.
Tang Yue: "..." She could imagine Chu Liangjun boasting about his success everywhere...
Le Siyu remembered that Tang Yue had already signed up for the various continental competitions. "Oh, right, the selections for the continental competitions will be in a few days. Since you're the first to sign up, you'll be the first contestant to represent Zhenxing and compete against other sects or academies."
"Selection for the continental competitions?" Wouldn't it be enough to just fight Yue Lu and the others directly?
Seeing her confusion, Le Siyu figured it was normal for her not to know the rules of the various continental competitions. "The qualifiers for the various continental competitions are competitions between our Star Continents. We'll select the top dozen or so players from among them to compete against the Moon Continent players again."
Although Xinglu always ranks at the bottom, they never give up any hope.
Tang Yue nodded in understanding, "So that's how it is." It's going to start in a few days? Fine, then, she'll be the first to appear.
Zhang Xuehua wasn't particularly interested in the various continental competitions. Zhenxing always came in last, and Xinglu came in last again. She'd been disappointed countless times in the various continental competitions, and she didn't even want to think about them. When would Xinglu finally rise...?
"Junior Sister Yue, someone said that you saved those people in Wuhuan Forest? Is that true?" If it was someone else, Zhang Xuehua would have just smiled and walked away, but the other party was Junior Sister Yue, and she knew about her super-level strength.
Tang Yue denied it without hesitation, "It's fake."
Zhang Xuehua looked at her "sincere" expression, half believing and half doubting. She said it was fake, but why did it feel like it was real?
Just when Zhang Xuehua was doubting the truthfulness of Tang Yue's words, Principal Wu was already annoyed to death by them!
He picked up the loudspeaker and shouted at them, "Tang Yue is my student from Zhenxing! All of you who are dreaming of poaching her! Get out!!"
The heads of various sects and schools were all so shocked by his loud voice that their ears were buzzing. Elder Wuxi was not convinced. "Tangyue can also choose to leave Zhenxing and come to Wuxi. The scenery is beautiful, there are handsome men, and you can eat and drink as much as you want!"
"Come to me, Gangyi! What are you doing to Wuxi!?"
"Come to my Jianmen!!"
Everyone was clamoring for Tang Yue to join their sect, and no one cared what Wu Xiao said.
Wu Xiao was left disheveled in the cold wind, and Sheng Qingqi had no choice but to wait until their enthusiasm faded before he could calm down.
Tang Yue was helpless and had to refine some pills for Wu Xiao, Sheng Qingqi and Elder Xingdao when she had time, one bottle for each of the three of them, so that they wouldn't have to fight over it and get hurt.
However, the selection competitions for the various continental competitions will begin in a few days. As Zhenxing's first contestant, she doesn't know which sect or academy's disciple she will be competing against.
Cangyue Sect
"In a few days, the qualifiers for the various continental competitions will begin, and the first person to appear will be Tang Yue!"
"Is this true? Zhenxing will probably be laughed at."
"This is a free registration for all mages. Tang Yue is only a beginner in magic, yet he's so bold."
“She thinks she’s amazing.”
"But she also came out of the Wuhuan Forest. Maybe she has the ability now?"
"How could that be her credit? Lin Wuyou and even Ning Li from the Exorcism Department went with them. What could her elementary magic do?"
"But why did I hear rumors that she saved several people from the Exorcist Department, including Su Chen and his sister?"
"Do you believe the rumors?"
"Will Yuan Shuitao run back to Yuelu and come to Xinglu to deal with us?"
"Ah... Although she was born in Star Continent, she was invited to Moon Continent after she became famous. She has long been a member of Moon Continent."
"Didn't they say she was missing?"
"That's what the rumor says. It's impossible that the genius Yuan Shuitao was tempted by Yuelu's high salary, and the whole family went to Yuelu and abandoned Xinglu?" With this precedent of opening the river, more talents will definitely flow into Yuelu.
"That family is truly spineless! They actually betrayed us Xinglu in disguise!"
"We were so kind to her." She turned out to be a traitor!
"If she can make it through this inter-continental competition, she'll likely use her new identity from the Moon Continent to face off against our Star Continent."
"So angry!! Compared to this, Tang Yue is so much better!"
"Except for not being a genius, Yuan Shuitao is truly no match for Tangyue. Speaking of backbone, who after joining our Cangyue sect is willing to quit without making any mistakes? Except her. After being abandoned in the Black Cliff Forest, she left Cangyue as soon as she woke up."
After hearing what they said, a female disciple sat down beside them and said, "Tang Yue is good to begin with. We targeted Tang Yue because we were wrong, not because of her. Besides... Senior Brother Feili and Senior Brother Bai have already proven that they are blind."
The female disciple felt very sorry for Tang Yue, but Senior Brother Feili and the others had also been punished. Their injuries had just healed, and they had been beaten very badly by Master Lu.
"I never thought that Senior Brother Feili and the others would actually watch Elder Xingdao die without helping him?! I'm so shocked!"
"It seems that he was busy comforting Yuan Shuitao, and was deceived by Yuan Shuitao to take the grass, and almost killed Elder Xingdao..." The female disciple quietly made a gesture of wiping her neck.
"Oh my God! This is horrible! This is so inhumane! How dare they! That's their master!"
"I thought I just didn't help, but I didn't expect there was such an inside story." No wonder Sect Leader Lu fought without mercy.
"Elder Xingdao is so pitiful..."
"That's why Elder Xing Dao refused to return to Cang Yue. Senior Brothers Fei Li and Bai went to see Elder Xing Dao despite their injuries, but were kicked out by Wu Xiao and the others!"
"Principal Wu and the others were extremely angry. Elder Xingdao was their sect's darling, and everyone loved him. After the incident, all of Elder Xingdao's brothers and sisters blocked Cangyue's door and made a scene. Sect Leader Lu sighed for several days."
"When did it happen? Why didn't I know about it?"
"Not many people know about this. Sect Leader Lu didn't even let us get close to the gate a few days ago. Only a few people know about this."
"Tsk tsk... Sect Leader Lu is just too greedy. Why are all the people from Moon Land being brought back to Star Land?"
"It's because I really want the sect to flourish."
"Ah...typical example of shooting oneself in the foot."
During the time Mu Feili was recuperating, his mind was filled with Tang Yue's image. Her anger and accusations on the Changshan Cliff were all imprinted in his mind.
He thought he would be heartbroken after losing Yuan Shuitao, but he didn't expect that the regret in his heart would be completely losing Tang Yue. Perhaps there would never be another unwavering smile rushing towards him...
Ye Juebai was almost beaten to death. He understood the anger of Sect Leader Lu, but he didn't expect Yuan Shuitao to turn around and flee back to Yuelu...
Did she like Yue Lu so much? He sighed, remembering Tang Yue's kick... He had always misjudged Tang Yue. She wasn't the useless person they made her out to be.
And it was her timely arrival that saved the master. If it weren't for her, he would have lived in regret for the rest of his life.
Yan Xiu drank and got drunk, regardless of the damage to his body. He hated it! He hated himself for being so blind! Tang Yue... How many times had he hurt her with his words? In the end, he hurt Master, but Tang Yue saved Master. Master... He felt sorry for him...
Chunshan Sect
"The qualifiers for the various continental competitions will be held in two days. Are you confident?" The head of the Chunshan sect asked the female disciple in front of him.
The female disciple nodded with a cool and elegant appearance, "I have confidence." He was just a junior magician who was once a waste and did not pose any threat.
"I heard that Tang Yue is very popular recently and is the third alchemist in Xinglu. Aren't you afraid?"
"It's true that you are the third alchemist in Xinglu, but the selection competition is about strength and magic, not alchemy." The female disciple did not take Tang Yue seriously at all.
"Well, it's good that you have confidence. We must win the first game against Zhenxing." We can't embarrass Chunshan, not to mention that we are facing Zhenxing Academy. This useless academy is simply here to give away our heads.
"Yes, Master." The female disciple responded without any pressure.
Liuyue Academy
"I bet on the first match, the winner is Chunshan's Gu Yiyi!"
"I'm also betting on Gu Yiyi."
"How do we place this bet? Who would bet on Tang Yue to win?"
"One is high-level and the other is beginner. Is it even necessary to say who will win or lose?"
"Of course it will be Gu Yiyi!"
"Have you forgotten the time Tang Yue challenged Senior Brother Ya Pei to a competition?"
"That was just an accident. A beginner can challenge a mid-level one, but how can a beginner challenge a high-level one? Is Tang Yue dreaming?"
"That's right, beginners are just beginners. It's too hard to beat higher-level opponents. Who made Tang Yue unlucky? The first one to go on stage was against the devil Gu Yiyi."
"I can't say anything else, but Gu Yiyi is definitely going to win! I'm betting everything on her! I'm putting all my money on her!"
"You're smart, who wants to gamble with us?" Who wants to be the sucker? The winner is obvious.
Abbott heard them making bets, "Who are you betting on? Who do you think will win the first game?"
"Gu Yiyi!"
"Gu Yiyi!"
"Gu Yiyi!"
"Okay! You all want to place a bet, right? I'll join in too!" Abbott took out his bank card and placed it directly on the table, but he didn't specify who would win the bet.
"Brother Ya Pei has already left, I want to suppress Gu Yiyi as well."
"Gu Yiyi!"
"Gu Yiyi!"
Soon a large crowd gathered around, all betting on Gu Yiyi to win. Yapei felt like he was going to be rich! !
"Okay! Is there anyone else who wants to suppress Gu Yiyi? Don't miss her if you pass by!" Yapei's loud voice once again attracted all the students.
"Pressure! Gu Yiyi!"
"Come on! You'd be a fool not to buy this sure-win deal."
After putting all the money on Gu Yiyi's name, the table under Gu Yiyi's name was full, while the table under Tang Yue's name was clean, without a single cent of money.
Lou Chang originally wanted to shout them away, but it turned out that all the students from various Liuyue sects were relying on Gu Yiyi from Chunshan sect, while Tangyue didn't rely on anyone, which was a bit embarrassing.
"You have no regrets, right? Once you've made up your mind about who will win, you can't change it." Abbott's eyes gleamed.
The Liuyue students looked at each other in bewilderment. Who would be so foolish as to change Tangyue? It was obvious that anyone who changed would be a fool!
"Brother Yabei, we know who will win just by looking at it. How can we possibly change?"
"That's right, there's no way Tang Yue will win. It's a beginner versus a high-level battle, there's no doubt about it."
Abbott didn't care what they said, "I'll count to three, two, one! You can't go back on your word!"
As a result, none of the Liuyue students moved, and they even deliberately pulled away the money near Tangyue's name.
"Three, two, one!" As soon as Yapei finished speaking, he pressed the entire card on Tang Yue's name with a "snap".
Liu Yue students: “!!!” Did he bet on the wrong number?!
"I bet on Tang Yue! You guys have everything I have. If I win, all of this is mine. If I lose, I'll give all the money to you." Abbott said proudly.
They had no idea how terrifying Tang Yue's strength was. Although he was at the intermediate level, he had no way to resist Tang Yue, and he could feel that Tang Yue was showing mercy, so he accepted his defeat with a sincere heart.
The Liuyue students were overjoyed. Senior Brother Yapei was going to give them money to spend! Senior Brother Yapei was such a nice guy!
"Brother Yapei, if you want to do something kind, just say so. There's no way Tang Yue could possibly beat Gu Yiyi."
"Yes, you know how terrifying Gu Yiyi's strength is."
"Don't be so pessimistic. We're just joining in the fun. Take the cards out. We're not going to play."
"Yeah. Senior brother, don't be so nice."
When Abbott saw them trying to take the money, he immediately stopped them, "Hey, hey, hey! Stop it! We agreed on a bet!"
As a result, the Liuyue students were unwilling to cheat Abbott of his money and were only willing to bet on a meal, with the loser treating the other.
Abbott: “…” I finally managed to earn some pocket money, but it was gone just like that.
Tang Yue didn't know that she was being bet on by various parties because of the qualifiers for the various continental competitions. All of them were bets on Tang Yue losing and Gu Yiyi winning.
Even Zhang Xuehua and Gao Binghua were worried that Tang Yue would lose. "Junior Sister Yue, don't be nervous about the match the day after tomorrow. Just do your best."
"Yes, we all know how terrifying Gu Yiyi's strength is. There's no need to put so much pressure on yourself."
Tang Yue, who was concentrating on eating: "?" She didn't feel any pressure.
"Gu Yiyi is a high-level mage. She happened to be facing you. She was also the first to sign up." Zhang Xuehua didn't want to add to her anxiety, but knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle.
Tang Yue was still eating. What about Gu Yiyi? In the story, she seemed to like Mu Feili, and they were childhood sweethearts. However, in the story, Mu Feili was completely focused on Yuan Shuitao and never paid any attention to Gu Yiyi.
Originally, Zhonggu Yiyi defeated Yuan Shuitao, and Mu Feili and the others were quite angry.
