Female lead: No, it's me again??

Chapter 371 The Academy Tournament Begins

Manager Cai shook his head. "Although I don't know what happened last night, Young Master Yu, the Bai family will not tolerate the Royal Academy's actions against the two young ladies."

"The two young ladies don't seem to care, nor do they bother me, but I still don't want to see anyone from the Royal Academy for the time being. Please come back later."

Seeing that there was no hope, Yu Qing had no choice but to give up.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Manager Cai."

"Qinghe, let's go back."

Qinghe glanced at Steward Cai and could only suppress his resentment for the time being.

In the past two days, Qianshui City seems unchanged, yet everything seems to have changed.

The city was filled with many more patrolling cultivators, as well as sect disciples searching for their disciples. A curfew was imposed on Thousand Water City at night.

No one knows whether among the people you pass by are elders from sects or academies who are hiding their identities.

It wasn't until Sang Qiu and the other two returned that this happened.

'Knock knock'.

Pian Zi knocked on the door politely.

Today is the 21st, at noon.

'Crack.'

Yan Nanfei opened the door.

Upon seeing it was him, Yan Nanfei said, "I thought you weren't going to participate."

Pian Zi fanned herself with her hand to calm the dryness on her face. "How could that be? Didn't I just get back by express courier? Hurry up and let me in for a glass of water, I'm dying of thirst!"

Yan Nanfei turned sideways.

The boy walked straight into the courtyard and, not seeing Wushang Huan and Tu Yao, asked, "Where are Wushang Huan and the other girl? What are they doing?"

"You need to see her?"

"Isn't the academy competition tomorrow? I'll go talk to her."

Feng Siyue came out carrying a bowl. "What are you chatting about?"

Pian Zi picked a persimmon from the persimmon tree in the yard with her bare hands, and without washing it, she stuffed it into her mouth.

"The list for the first round of the Academy Tournament has been released, consisting of 112 academies and 19 sect teams. The first day will feature individual competitions, excluding the opening ceremony, and the top ten will be determined within five days."

Feng Siyue asked, "Aren't other events like animal training and team competitions held simultaneously?"

Pian Zi shook her head. "No, the other competitions will start in five days. Because the individual competitions take too long, the other competitions have been delayed."

"In the individual competition, players are randomly paired. The loser in the first round will automatically enter the revival round. The top ten in the revival round can participate in the main competition."

Seeing how clear he was, Feng Siyue asked, "Didn't you just get back? How do you know all this so well?"

The boy patted his chest smugly, "Don't you know who I am? How could I possibly miss this kind of news?"

"The first round of match list has been announced on the stone tablet outside Qingli Academy. There will be a free-for-all between academy disciples and sect disciples, totaling 1544 people, with 244 substitutes."

"Ten arenas will start simultaneously. The person who falls off the arena within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn loses."

"Among them, poison and hidden weapons cannot be used, and killing is prohibited; there are no other restrictions."

"I've already found out your opponents. Wu Shang Huan will face Dai Qi from Mo Tian Academy, and Luo Fei Shuang will face Li Xiao from Zhong Huang Academy. Both of them are at the Great Spirit Master level."

After chatting about the college competition for a while, Pian Zi left.

He wanted to stay for lunch, but Wushanghuan and the others had just finished eating, so he had to leave disappointed.

Before leaving, Feng Siyue remembered something and said to him, "Let's meet at the entrance of Qingli Academy for the competition tomorrow, so you don't have to make an extra trip."

Pian Zi had no objection, "Okay!"

After the person left, the three of them returned to Hanxi Auction House.

In the evening, Xuan Li sat by the window, passing the time by counting the falling raindrops.

"Ah Li, what are you doing?"

Shenya flew down from her hair and landed on the edge of the window, quietly fluttering her wings.

"Counting raindrops~"

"What else can you do?"

Xuan Li watched the water droplets fall one by one, her bright eyes beneath her eyelashes seeming to be veiled by a layer of gauze.

"Even Xuanzu left no way to contact me, just leaving without a second thought, without considering whether I might encounter danger outside..."

Shen Ya listened, "Does Ali miss her brother?"

"elder brother?"

Xuan Li scoffed, "You've been leaving me in that courtyard all year round, what kind of older brother are you?"

Then she remembered something else, "Ya Ya, you woke up after I went to Snow Crystal Imperial City, and we were basically inseparable during that time. How did you know about Xuan Zu?"

"Or did you go to see the Ancestor during your time in the Desolate Flame Thunder Continent?"

How did you find him?

Faced with so many questions, Shen Ya didn't know which one to answer first. She said, "Hmm... sort of."

Xuan Li asked, puzzled, "But you've never seen him before?"

Shenya explained, "I followed... the aura of the array in your pouch to find it."

breath?

Xuan Li looked down at her purse and asked, "Where was he when you went last time?"

"Senyang Hengzhou Wangyou Gorge".

"Forget-Worry Gorge?"

"What is that place?"

"I do not know either."

Xuan Li paused, then asked casually, "Did he say when he'd be back?"

It's been so long, and you haven't come to see her at all.

He said he would come to find you after he finished taking care of his business.

"work?"

Xuan Li leaned against the window, chin resting on the back of her hand, and pouted, "Is it going to be my funeral?"

Shen Ya's tone instantly turned serious, "Ah Li, what nonsense are you talking about!?"

She can't curse herself like that!

"How can that be considered nonsense?"

The woman lowered her eyes. "Ya Ya, I've been feeling worse lately."
