Chapter 1513: Chapter 1493: Snow Palace Spectating the Battle

The two people were taken aback first when they heard the other’s words, then both laughed.

Huangfu Yihui then said, "Forget it, let’s wait until we meet in the finals."

Even with masks, they couldn’t hide from their family, even though they could deceive others. So as long as they participated in the finals, it would be the moment their identities were exposed.

And at that time, the Nine Heavens Pavilion under the finals quota would provide them with the best protection.

Finals? So close yet so far. The road to the finals was fraught with obstacles...

And in a blink of an eye, it was the second round of the competition. This time, the lucky audience wasn’t Old Master Luo, but even if it were, he couldn’t influence the draw results, so all they could do was leave it to fate.

But in this round, it was hard to tell if they should consider themselves lucky or frustrated.

Lucky because Sky Inquiry got a bye, allowing them to maintain their friendship and not let these matters bother them. Even if they didn’t meet this round, they would eventually face each other.

Frustrating because the Overbearing Sect, which had a bye last round, was their opponent this time.

The Overbearing Sect was truly overbearing because... they were all Body Refinement cultivators. They looked sturdier than our group, clearly putting a lot of effort into body refinement, with a muscular demeanor.

And they were also ’fortunate’ to be the first to appear, which made Luo Qianqian quite unhappy, not even having time to arrange anything.

She glanced at Yann Yao and sighed, "Let’s go with the people from the last round since both Yihui and I have already been exposed."

It’s best to keep some cards in hand if possible. After all, the strength of Yann Yao and Luo Shufan could not be underestimated now.

Luo Shufan, despite being displeased, agreed and looked at a somewhat grave Yan beside him, instantly feeling nervous, asking, "What’s wrong? Is the opponent strong this time? Are Shiqi and the others in danger?"

Yan was momentarily stunned, then quickly shook his head, "It’s not about that. Look at the guest seats in the audience." This time, Old Master Luo and his entourage were sitting right next to Yang Feng, dressed in low-key green long robes, not intending to draw attention at all.

The people from the Ten Thousand Sect were still there, glaringly noticeable with their white attire, but they all looked quite low-profile.

Moreover, there was a group dressed in blue, looking ethereal, with Haan Bing from the Snow Palace at the lead, whom Luo Qianqian is familiar with.

They were seated in the front of the guest area, clearly intending to stand out. However, Luo Qianqian’s attention was entirely on He Wenyu.

"What? Are you serious?" Looking at the very flashy decorations on the hammer, Luo Qianqian found it hard to believe this was He Wenyu’s aesthetic.

He Wenyu nodded seriously, "Of course I’m serious. On such a good weather day, shouldn’t we make the entire arena more beautiful?"

"But this thing..." It’s beautiful, but it seems a bit unserious, right?

Haan Bing quietly watched the arena, eyes without any waves.

After so long, he naturally wasn’t as excited anymore, and obviously, he wasn’t as easily swayed as before.

It’s just that the little girl at the foot of the Holy Mountain back then didn’t seem that special.

From the initial regional selections to now, they had experienced quite a lot.

He was once annoyed by Luo Shiqi’s despicable actions, angered that she avoided the selection rounds through underhanded means. But now, he was genuinely curious about how much Luo Shiqi had grown.

And how did she manage to reach the top of the Star Path? He was very curious and quite eager to see Qhianqhian’s transformation.

After all, if the opponent was too weak, there wouldn’t be much worth to his efforts.

His appearance in the second match was simply because the Nine Heavens Pavilion won the first match, and there was a lot of cheering from the arena. Even the Sword Sect seemed very supportive of the Nine Heavens Pavilion, which piqued his interest.

Moreover, in the venue, there were indeed many people dressed in Nine Heavens Pavilion’s support colors, which couldn’t be helped since the clothing styles were both novel and appealing, making people take notice. It’s strange if people didn’t admire them.

Both the men’s and women’s styles were enthusiastically mimicked by the audience in the arena. The Nine Heavens Pavilion, rather than just an eye-catching dark horse, was leading the fashion trend like a style icon.

As the five took the stage, looking at the opposing team, all of whom were tall, imposing, and majestic, He Wenyu swallowed hard, "I almost want my dad to go learn from them."

"Does becoming like that look good?" Luo Qianqian glanced around and then looked at the others, "Feel free to do your thing, but don’t get hurt. Little Grey is responsible for support, and I’ll handle... hehe, stealing the spotlight!"

Huangfu Yihui’s mouth twitched slightly as he listened to Luo Qianqian’s nickname, thinking don’t assume he didn’t know, that’s the name of a wolf cub from a cartoon, a very kind one at that.

"Take it easy with the showboating." Luo Yanhai gazed calmly at Luo Qianqian, "Also, give us a chance to shine!"

"That’s right, your brother is eagerly waiting." Bai Yizhu also curved his lips in excitement.

When it comes to other matters, he might be powerless, but fighting... there’s no way Bai Yizhu would miss it!

He Wenyu was also waving a large hammer adorned with a layer of bows, full of excitement.

Luo Qianqian was even more puzzled because when did He Wenyu start liking bows? It was illogical!

However, He Wenyu’s face evidently showed visible affection, and the way he looked at the bow was tender, as if he were looking at his idol...

But He Wenyu hadn’t displayed any peculiar behavior recently. If there were any abnormalities, as someone living under the same roof, Luo Qianqian would have no reason not to know.

But in the past few nights, Luo Qianqian hadn’t noticed anything, not even knowing when He Wenyu got those bows. If she weren’t so familiar, Luo Qianqian would surely have suspected that he was impersonated. But clearly, he wasn’t.

And those bows were obviously made of high-quality materials, not something just used for playing around, nor leftovers from clothing-making given to He Wenyu for fun.

While Luo Qianqian was lost in thought, the host finished the introductions, allowing them to get a bit acquainted with each other.

After the mutual salute, the match began.

Only, regarding the other party, they could be said to know nothing, yet the other party knew something about them. This was undeniable.

After all, in the last round, they completed the match under the scrutiny of all eyes.

There was no cheating, much less any trickery.

But it must be admitted, in the end, Luo Qianqian did secretly trick that ’Pretty Boy’ once.

The question was whether the Overbearing Sect in front of them would find out about those matters.
