Chapter 34
An hour later.
Xiao Yueyin and Guo Xinyi left along with the others, returning to their disciples. The colosseum has become packed with people with high anticipation for the competition. For those that were unable to obtain a seat, there was a large screen outside the colosseum that was powered by a couple of runes. It broadcasted the scenes inside.
The burly man, Senior Lin was also present, next to him was Lin Roulan who was eagerly looking everywhere with curiosity.
There were over one hundred and fifty Sects participating in the All Desolate Competition. Each one with hopes to put their name out there to increase their prestige. For the top ten sects, they were rather relaxed, especially the Elders. They sat in separate seats in different areas of the colosseum to observe their disciples.
The participating Sects were divided into ten groups with the top ten sects leading them. They will only be one winner per group. After that, the ten winners will go against each other.
As the competition begins, Ji Xian was drawn to the matches. Underneath his messy long hair, his eyes shined with a subtle clear light. Xia Lihua was beside him, she was also watching with some interest as she was curious about the Divine Arts and cultivation method of this world. She glanced at Ji Xian and was amused seeing how focused he was.
What are you doing? She asked.
Studying.
Xiao Yueyin and Guo Xinyi were beside Xia Lihua, they had also heard him, and the two of them shared the same confused expression as her.
Studying fights?
Xia Lihua wanted to ask more questions but Xiao Yueyin suddenly cut in before she could do so.
Senio- Miss Xia, there is something I need to ask.
She was feeling conflicted, it was only natural to call Xia Lihua Senior based on her strength but there was something deep down in her soul telling her not to lower herself. Thus, she changed her form of address.
Xia Lihua looked at Xiao Yueyin indifferently and waited for her to continue.
After listening to Ji Xian, she was no longer as cold to Xiao Yueyin as she was before. They belonged to the same lineage after all. But deep down, she still dislikes her. As for why it was too hard to explain.
Less than a week ago, did you release your pressure at East Solitude Inn?
So what if I did? Said Xia Lihua with a flat tone.
Xiao Yueyin nodded, and her suspicion was confirmed. She breathed out a sigh of relief but inwardly, she was uncomfortable with how indifferent Xia Lihua acted towards her.
Guo Xinyi was currently shocked, Xiao Yueyin didnt use her spiritual sense to talk with Xia Lihua so she heard their exchange.
He stood up and stretched his body, Ill be right back.
Where are you going? Asked Xia Lihua.
Just going for a stroll. Im not going far, after all, I might have to take my own life if I separate too far from you. Ji Xian teased.
Suddenly being reminded of what she once said, Xia Lihua felt embarrassed and she blushed.
Xiao Yueyin noticed this and her heart skipped a beat, she stared at Xia Lihua, carefully observing her beautiful features and her face reddened, causing Guo Xinyi to suspiciously look at her.
It can't be helped Xia Lihua was just too beautiful!
As Ji Xian leaves, he can feel Xiao Yueyin glaring at him behind his back.
He shook his head and chuckled to himself, finding the situation absurd.
After leaving the colosseum, he walked aimlessly on an empty street and took in the sights around him.
He saw an ordinary old lady selling steamed buns, he found it strange and approached her.
Granny, why are you selling your buns here? Wouldnt it be better to sell it near the Colosseum?
The old lady sighed, How can I compete with the other vendors, my old bones cant handle it.
Ji Xian smiled gently, Ill take everything you got. Go home and rest.
He paid the old lady with mortal currency, gold.
She gratefully accepted the money and handed Ji Xian a large bag filled with steamed buns before leaving.
Lifting his mask, he popped a bun into his mouth and appreciated the taste.
Miss Hong, why are you here and not participating in the competition? He suddenly said aloud.
Behind him, standing a hundred feet away was Hong Tian, wearing a bright red robe that looked too big for her. Her dark crimson hair swayed gently to the wind and partially covered the golden flame symbol on her forehead.
There isn't a need for me to participate."
