"They are different!" Elder Su roared angrily.
"Wow! Freak, this old man is so fierce!" Leng Ruoxue was so scared that she hurriedly hid in Freak's arms to seek comfort.
"d.a.m.n old man, why are you scaring my woman? She's very timid," Freak threatened fiercely while hugging Leng Ruoxue tightly and glaring at the uninvited Elder Su with a displeased face.
"…" Elder Su was speechless, and his forehead was full of black lines. He didn't have any inkling that Leng Ruoxue was timid. How could someone who dared to offend the Sun family be timid? Alas! Elder Su even had the intention to bang his head against the wall when he encountered these unreasonable people.
"I didn't do it on purpose," Elder Su said, wanting to cry. Boohoo… He really regretted coming here to suffer this.
"Yes, you did it on purpose," Freak said with certainty.
."I really didn't." Elder Su felt wronged! He clearly didn't say or do anything here.
"Hmph! d.a.m.n old man, tell me quickly. Why are you here? Hurry up and scram after speaking," Freak said irritably.
"I'm here to inform you that all the compet.i.tors have forfeited except for the eight of you, so the group stage has been canceled. The finals will begin tomorrow." Elder Su was so angry that he was about to vomit blood. But he still had to forcefully finish what he wanted to say. Who asked him to take on this task! Boohoo… Regret!
"Oh, that's all?" Freak asked lightly.
Elder Su wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and quickly said, "Yes." Alas! Why did this man give him so much pressure?
"Hurry up and scram before I kick you out!" Freak roared with widened eyes.
"Uh! You're too rude," Elder Su said angrily. He was an elder of the Mystic a.s.sociation Headquarters and a trusted aide of the president. Everyone was respectful no matter where he went. He had never received such treatment!
"Politeness is for people," Freak said lightly. What he implied was that Elder Su wasn't human!
"You… you barbarians." Elder Su almost fainted from anger.
"Are you really waiting for me to kick you?" Freak frowned in puzzlement.
"Hehe, Little Chen Chen, don't kick. I'll just sneeze," interrupted Icy, who was watching the commotion by the side, unwilling to be left out.
"You… Ah!" Elder Su was about to go crazy from anger, but he disappeared with a whoosh.
"Uh! Little Icy is still the most powerful!" Freak said with a smile.
"Of course, hehe." Icy smiled proudly, his little tail curling up.
"Say, what do you think Wu Gong is doing? Why did all those people admit defeat? Even Su Nan admitted defeat. What's going on?" Lan Ming was puzzled. Moreover, he felt uneasy. He thought that this matter wasn't so easy!
"Old Little Lan Lan, why are you thinking so much? Aren't you tired? It's not bad that they admitted defeat! At least my reward is about to arrive," Leng Ruoxue said happily. They could leave after the compet.i.tion ended.
"But I feel a little uneasy." Lan Ming voiced his concern.
"It's useless to be uneasy! Worrying won't solve the problem. What should come will come," Leng Ruoxue comforted. Alas! Lan Ming just couldn't bear not paying attention to it.
"Little Lan Lan! Don't even think about it. It won't be easy for them to plot against us," Old Zao comforted.
"Yes, that's right. The meal is ready. Everyone, eat quickly! Rest early after eating," Feng Jing mediated.
Leng Ruoxue and the others were very happy during this meal, but Lan Ming was preoccupied.
After dinner and tidying up, Leng Ruoxue said, "I'm going to rest,"
"We're going back to our rooms too." Leng Qingtian and the others looked at Lan Ming.
"Okay, I'm going back too," Lan Ming said.
The next morning, Leng Ruoxue and the others had breakfast and then went to the compet.i.tion venue.
Although there was no longer much suspense in the compet.i.tion, and the top three spots in this compet.i.tion would definitely come from among the eight of them, there were still many spectators at the venue. After all, they were still very curious about who the top three would end up being. Moreover, they might even be able to appreciate the fierce compet.i.tion on the arena!
After everyone sat down in their seats, Lan Ming looked at everyone with a puzzled expression.
"Why didn't you ask me about the rules of the finals?" Lan Ming finally couldn't help asking curiously. These people were strangely too quiet!
"What's there to ask? We've already decided to forfeit," Old Zao said nonchalantly. Last night, they had secretly discussed it, and everyone unanimously agreed that they had to end the compet.i.tion as soon as possible so that they could leave this place. After all, they were new and really too unfamiliar with this Boundless Heaven Continent. Therefore, after completing the compet.i.tion, they planned to travel around properly.
"Forfeit? Why? Don't you want the reward anymore?" Lan Ming said in surprise. He couldn't understand. The current situation was good, so why did they want to forfeit? Could forfeiting be contagious?
"Why not? We didn't say that everyone would forfeit. La.s.s, Little Chen Chen, and Old Leng won't forfeit," Old Zao explained. How could they let go of the rewards that they deserved!
"Oh, you scared me. I thought you didn't even want the rewards!" Lan Ming said as he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
"Little Lan Lan, don't forget our appearance fee!" Leng Ruoxue reminded with a smile, raising her eyebrows slightly.
"Little Snowy, you're already very rich now. Why do you still care about the appearance fee of tens of millions?" Lan Ming asked in disbelief.
"Of course I care. Tens of millions is enough for ordinary people to live for a lifetime. It's not a small sum," Leng Ruoxue said very seriously. She had already decided to glorify the spirit of frugality after coming to the Boundless Heaven Continent.
"Uh! Here! I've already prepared it," Lan Ming said helplessly and handed Leng Ruoxue an anonymous silver card. Alas! He had become very helpless since meeting this girl.
