Shi Lei was startled for a moment, but he quickly calmed down. After smiling lightly, he nodded and said: "I understand, I will pay attention."

Coming out of the hall, the two intended to directly return to their rooms. From the looks of it, although a lot had happened to the Chinese Medicine Competition this time, they still needed to continue with it.

This surprised Shi Lei. According to his understanding of the Manor Owner, it might be safe, or even if the competition was cancelled, he might not be able to tell. After all, there had been too many things happening recently.

But now, it was actually the Manor Owner himself who said that they were going to continue, and things had become much more interesting.

Shi Lei suddenly didn't want to return to his room at this time, so he brought Hua Rou to a nearby garden and slowly said: "This time, the whole thing is a bit complicated."

That's right, from the moment he entered this High Dragon Manor, everything seemed to have become unusual.

Not to mention his unfathomable bet with Huang Hedi, and Huangfu Hua's invitation afterwards, these things did not seem to be a problem.

But right after the start of the competition, An Zidao poisoned him, Qi Yang's death, the plague poison from the Xanthium's fur, and then Lu Sen's counterattack, everything seemed to happen one after another during this period of time. It was hard to imagine it happening at such a high frequency.

"You mean, there are a lot of hands manipulating it?"

Hua Rou looked at Shi Lei and said.

"That's right, he might not be just An Zidao's Ghost Doctor."

Shi Lei said calmly: "The Lu family and the Xanthium. Maybe the Manor Owner knows more, but it seems like they won't tell us."

Hua Rou was depressed for a while, but did not speak. After Shi Lei finished speaking, he smiled, then said: "Didn't you just say that to Manor Owner? It's useless to be anxious now, all you can do is to be prepared."

Shi Lei looked into Hua Rou's eyes and laughed.

The hall at the back of the hall was quiet and empty. If it wasn't for the traces of the battle earlier, nobody would have been able to tell what had happened here.

"Elder Yang, things are getting more interesting these days."

Manor Owner did not know who he was talking to, but he looked very serious.

"I know, I have already heard about your manor, about that staff member, we will also investigate him in detail. Manor Owner, right now, your most important task is to find that person, he is the only one who can break this situation."

After hearing the voice on the phone, the Manor Owner was silent for a moment. Then, he made a sound of agreement and continued, "The Lu family …"

"The Lu family doesn't have to worry about this for now. Rich Lu family still has a lot of power, and the Lu family has a special position. We should just wait and see."

"Alright."

With that, the Manor Owner hung up the phone.

Manor Owner, who hadn't smoked for a long time, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and started lighting them up. In the midst of the smoke, he seemed to be thinking about something.

After resting for a few days, Shi Lei also gradually felt that the Yin And Yang Power in his body had recovered.

A few days ago, he was in the midst of healing and fighting. If not for the elixir, he might not be able to last until Lu Sen was defeated.

"Dong, dong, dong."

It sounded like someone was knocking on the door.

Shi Lei who was in a good mood walked forward, planning to see what exactly was going on.

"You are …"

"President Shi, it's like this. Manor Owner said that today is a good day to reorganize Chinese Medicine Competition, so he asked me to come over and inform you about it, and to bring you over directly."

Because of what happened in front, many people started to panic, so two days ago, Manor Owner made it so that no one wanted to continue to go back, but in the end, they did not expect that there would be more people retreating in the middle.

After carefully counting, there was no need for the remaining 16 people to continue with the second round of matches.

Now, the elimination round was about to begin. The rules for the competition had already been made clear. The participants would draw lots and then compete in twos and twos. The time and quality of the competition would be compared and the winner would enter the next round.

The competition for points was also a rather serious test for Shi Lei. After all, he was only half-way through the competition, so he naturally did not understand some of the basics.

But if he really came to the elimination round, which was a stage that focused on actual combat, Shi Lei was extremely confident.

"Sure."

Shi Lei smiled slightly.

"Oh yeah, please ask President Shi to call Miss Hua Rou Hua. She's a girl, it's still not convenient for me."

It was as if everyone had tacitly agreed to the relationship between Shi Lei and Hua Rou. Shi Lei didn't have a single impression of what he had said to Lu Sen after waking up from his sleep, but everyone present had heard it clearly.

"She is my woman!"

Tsk tsk tsk, why do I feel like those words are quite interesting.

still went to Hua Rou's room to find her, and the two of them followed the person who walked in together to a slightly smaller arena.

With the last lesson, it seemed that the dangerous factors had been completely eliminated, and a thorough search of the manor had been carried out.

However, Manor Owner was still extremely careful, afraid that some mishap would occur if he did not notice them. Who knew if he would get lucky last time?

Just in case, the Manor Owner s would bring them one by one. They would not talk about the time and place, but they would talk about it after all the participants had arrived.

"Sixteen people, be it in terms of strength or character, you are all outstanding people among the seventy to eighty people this time. Naturally, there are more outstanding people among the outstanding people, so I will not waste any more time."

Manor Owner seemed to be in a good mood.

"Everyone has a number plate in their hands, which corresponds to their own number. Then everyone will go to the big box over there, the first eight will draw out the red line, and the red line will write the number corresponding to the duel."

The rule for drawing lots was actually very simple. Shi Lei looked at his number two, then at Hua Rou's number seven, and instantly felt a lot more relief.

"We won't be able to see the first round."

If it was really two people fighting, to Hua Rou, it would practically be a battle that ended prematurely. This was something that Hua Rou was very clear about in her heart.

"Rest assured, I will be waiting for you in the second round."

Hua Rou smiled and followed them to the box.

Number one was Huangfu Hua. Before Huangfu Hua went up, he gave Shi Lei a meaningful look, as if he was saying something.

It was just that Huangfu Hua's previous performance had made him feel extremely disdainful, so he naturally wouldn't have a good expression.

"Number 10!"

Huangfu Hua's opponent appeared very quickly, and upon seeing that his opponent for the tenth floor was Huangfu Hua, that person's face instantly fell.

"No way …"
