In the fifth arena, Zhou Jie's face was already turning purple. His defeat was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing waves to ripple across the surface.

"Huh?" Lu Tianyou was clearly not prepared. He thought that he had misheard.

It was not only Lu Tianyou who could not figure out the situation, the referees on the spot were also confused. The champion of the joint team competition, the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect, had actually admitted defeat without even competing.

"Judge, our Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect admits defeat." Zhou Jie spoke again without waiting for the referee to ask, and then jumped off the stage. At this moment, he only wanted to escape from this awkward situation.

Lu Tianyou truly understood this time. The judge at the side also understood this as he said loudly: "The Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect admits defeat, the Three Absolute Sword Sect wins, the next round of the Eternal Mountain Sword Sect challenges the Three Absolute Sword Sect. Disciples, please prepare yourselves. We will begin in ten minutes."

Everyone had been baffled by Zhou Jie's decision to jump down from stage five without even competing, but upon hearing the result, the audience was furious and began to curse him.

"What Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect? Bullshit, what a coward."

"This is really embarrassing us warriors, hurry up and f * ck off."

"What the heck is that thing? It's the old sword faction, the pillar of the Heavenly Mountain Kingdom. Ha!"

"I spent 10 gold coins to come and admit defeat?"

"..."

All sorts of complaints and curses were directed towards the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect.

The few sects near the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect all gave them disdainful looks.

Other than Li Xun, the rest of the people from the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect wanted to dig a hole and hide in it. Only Li Xun had an expression of indifference as he continued to eat the various pastries with all his might.

When Zhou Jie returned, his face was as ugly as a horse's, and he looked as if he were about to cry from being wronged.

"Zhou Jie, don't be depressed. Let's go eat lunch. I'll treat you today. Nana, take us to the best restaurant in Songcheng. Right, elders, you have to stay here. You have more experience in gathering intelligence than us. We won't be coming over these few days. I'll bring them over on the eighth day. If you manage to gather anything during the process, you should know where to send it. " After saying that, Li Xun pulled Qin Qing towards the passageway. Zhou Jie and the others were also in a hurry to leave this place. No one would have the face to stay behind even if they were spat on.

Not long after Li Xun and the others left, Elder Gu held his stomach and said, "Aiyo, his stomach hurts. I'm going to go back and rest. I'll leave the gathering of information to you guys, you're not allowed to be lazy. "

The remaining Elders all had bitter faces, but they could only swallow their anger. After all, they had no right to speak.

After exiting the venue, Qin Qing weakly asked, "Husband, why did you admit defeat? I still can't figure it out. "You just heard how those people cursed."

"Hehe, don't ask anything now. "Nana, take us to the best restaurant in Songcheng. I'll treat you guys to a good meal today."

"Then let's go to Wangsong Restaurant." She really had quite a strong opinion of Li Xun. If it wasn't for the past six months, she would have long since been in awe of Li Xun in her heart. With her temper, she probably would have gone after Li Xun and had a fight with him in her heart.

Wang Pine Restaurant was an extraordinary place. Eight tall and slender welcoming beauties were standing at the entrance. Li Xun took the best room and ordered the best banquet, the "Feast of Wealth and Excellence". When the service lady heard this, she immediately went to arrange it, anyone who could order the "Feast of Wealth and Excellence" was either rich or rich, a table cost a hundred purple coins, this service naturally had to be very good.

The dishes were quickly served, and Wangsong Restaurant assigned four beauties to serve them.

"All of you can leave. There's no need for you here. This is your reward. One for each of you." Li Xun passed the four purple coins to the servant girl closest to him.

When the four service ladies heard that even if they didn't do anything, they would still reward Li Xun with a purple coin, which was a hundred gold coins. That was a lot more than their monthly income and they happily thanked Li Xun before leaving.

"Alright, now we are the only ones left. "Tell me, what would happen if we chose to defend the arena? What would happen to us?" Li Xun asked.

"At most, it will fail." Dong Nana replied.

"So you all think so?" Seeing the other four remain silent, Li Xun asked with a playful smile. Let me tell you, the worst situation is that none of you will be able to participate in the final finals, do you understand? Even if you do not get seriously injured, if you were to use up all of the Sword Skill Gem's energy, are you confident that you can recover to your best state before the finals? "

Li Xun's words were like a clap of thunder, causing the five of them to instantly understand the meaning of admitting defeat. Each and every one of their expressions immediately eased up, and their thoughts began to move as well. In truth, they were all very quick-witted. They were just unable to accept the criticism and felt very wronged. However, once this turn of events began, their previous unpleasant mood quickly disappeared.

"Husband, you are too smart." Qin Qing scolded.

"Sister Qing, can you not be so mushy? Why didn't I notice this before?" Tian Fen covered her body and pretended to be cold.

"Little girl, you're teasing me again." Qin Qing and Tian Fen started to fight.

"Senior Brother, we were wrong to blame you." Cheng Kun said.

"We're all on the same side, there's no need to be so polite. Let's hurry up and eat, it won't taste as good if we're cold. You should know that this is the first time Senior Brother of mine spent so much money to treat someone to a meal."

Everyone was in a good mood, so naturally, they weren't polite on the surface.

"Yes, it's delicious. These dishes have quite a different flavor compared to the ones in our Heavenly Mountain Kingdom." Zhou Jie said. Oh yeah, Senior Brother, tell me what the other arena masters will do, will they learn from us? "

"I don't know about that, but there's actually another benefit to quitting the competition. "Didn't they say that someone is working together to harm us? This way at least we won't run into any problems before the finals."

"Qin Qing, let's go shopping in the afternoon. We've been here for quite a while, and I haven't accompanied you out yet."

Qin Qing nodded excitedly as her charming face turned slightly red. She looked extremely charming.

"Senior brother, I want to go as well." Tian Fen strongly requested.

"I'm with my wife, what are you getting involved in?"

"I'm Sister Qing's adviser. You know, our clothing business accounts for one-third of the entire Sky Mountain Country's market. I have a lot of say in this, don't you?"

"Do you know what a light bulb is?"

"Electric light bulb? "What's that?" This was the first time Tian Fen had heard of this term. However, from Li Xun's unfriendly gaze, she could guess that these three words were not good.

Li Xun was depressed. Why was there such a word in this world?

"It's nothing, you confused me. I was just spouting nonsense. But I'm going to spend the afternoon with my wife and I don't want anyone to disturb me. "

Tian Fen saw Li Xun's resolute expression and Qin Qing lowering her head in silence. She knew that it was impossible for them to go together, but she was unwilling. Zhou Jie, I want to go shopping.

"Why are you looking for me? I'm busy. I want to practice the sword. Tell Nana to come with you."

"Sister Nana will naturally go, but we still need to find a bag."

"Then you can find Cheng Kun. He is stronger than me."

"Are you going?" Big Miss Tian looked at Zhou Jie with malicious intent.

"Uh, go, I'll go." Zhou Jie was a smart man. He knew that no one was allowed to offend a woman, especially a woman who would always keep an eye out for him.

"Cheng Kun, come shopping with us in the afternoon." Dong Nana said gently.

Cheng Kun looked at Dong Nana and said in a low voice, "Alright." His face instantly turned red. When the other four saw this scene, they all snickered.
