Chapter 387 - Leng Ruoxue vs. Su Nan (4)

“Grandpa, don’t worry! We’re safe for now,” Leng Ruoxue comforted.

“Little Tian Tian, don’t be afraid. I’ll protect all of you,” Icy said without looking up while eating the food in front of him.

“Why don’t you settle down in Carefree City! No one will dare to do anything to you here,” Lan Ming suggested. Even though many mystics wanted to settle down in Carefree City, the property prices here were quite high, so ordinary mystics could hardly afford to live here. But Leng Ruoxue had won so much money and could definitely afford the houses here.

“No, I don’t want to live here.” Leng Ruoxue declined Lan Ming’s good intentions. She had discussed with her grandfather and the others some time ago that they planned to buy a relatively remote small city in the future as their residence. After all, they had a lot of people and many secrets that weren’t good to reveal.

“But it’s relatively safer here than outside,” Lan Ming advised stubbornly. He was really worried about the safety of Leng Ruoxue and the others.

“There will also be hidden dangers in safe places. Moreover, this place is under Wu Gong’s jurisdiction. If we live here, we could die without knowing why. How sad would that be!” Leng Ruoxue didn’t want to live in this seemingly safe place. They even had to be wary of some people now that they were staying in the headquarters. However, if they bought a house in Carefree City, those people might not dare to do anything openly, but that didn’t mean they wouldn’t dare to do anything. After all, the rules of Carefree City were dead, and the headquarters would probably turn a blind eye. They were merely weak mystics, so no one would uphold justice for them.

After hearing what Leng Ruoxue said, Lan Ming was speechless. Alas! This girl might be young, but she’s much more experienced in thinking things through than I am. Boohoo… He suddenly felt that he was really too useless and couldn’t help much.

“Alas! Let’s compete in peace first! We can discuss these things slowly,” Leng Qingtian mediated. Some things really couldn’t be rushed.

“Little Lan Lan, why is only Su Nan from the Ten Great Geniuses of the Boundless Heaven Continent participating in the competition?” Leng Ruoxue asked curiously, changing the topic. Although some of the mystics participating in the competition were very strong, they were not among the Ten Great Geniuses. So she really wanted to know what kind of strength the famous Ten Great Geniuses had now.

“Every mystic is allowed to participate in three competitions held by the Mystic Association Headquarters at most. Most of the top ten geniuses have already competed three times, and some have already advanced to Mystic Monarch. Thus, only Su Nan participated. But the other nine geniuses should be coming to watch the competition in a few days,” Lan Ming explained.

“How are the other nine geniuses compared to Su Nan?” Leng Ruoxue continued asking.

“Su Nan only ranks eighth among the Ten Great Geniuses. He’s not very strong compared to the others. The most powerful among the Ten Great Geniuses should be Leng Wudi. He ranks first among the Ten Great Geniuses and is also the leader of the younger generation of the Leng family of the Three Great Families,” Lan Ming said lightly while staring at Leng Ruoxue strangely.

“His name is Leng Wudi, and yours is Leng Ruoxue. Don’t tell me you’re also from the Leng family?” Lan Ming’s handsome face was full of doubts.

“Does having the surname Leng mean you have to be from the Leng family?” Leng Ruoxue asked instead of answering.

“Uh, of course not. I’m just a little curious,” Lan Ming said shyly. Hehe, everyone had the gift of gossip!

Leng Ruoxue rolled her eyes at Lan Ming. Then seeing that everyone was almost done eating, she said, “Everyone, rest early after dinner!”

Everyone nodded, cleaned up, and returned to their rooms.

Three days passed quickly.

On the morning of the fourth day, Leng Ruoxue and the others arrived on time to prepare for their matches today…

As usual, Leng Ruoxue and the others went directly to their seats after entering the venue. Seeing them, the people from Sun Zhou City sitting next to them revealed jealous and slightly hateful gazes…

Leng Ruoxue looked at the people from Sun Zhou City with a smile that was not a smile. Alas! These people are really too childish. Everyone was obviously a mystic, but they were hostile to them for the sake of a small association competition. But since they liked to be used by others, they asked for it no matter the outcome, so she wouldn’t pity them.

Not long after Leng Ruoxue and the others sat down, Lan Ming, who had gone to draw lots, returned. Of course, Zhou Kun, who had a very gloomy expression, returned with him.

Sun Zhou City’s Mystic Association had sent a total of fifteen people to participate in the competition this time. But only five people entered the top 100 in the end. On the other hand, all of the participants from Windless City’s Mystic Association, which Zhou Kun had always been hostile to, entered the top 100, making him very uncomfortable.

Moreover, he couldn’t understand why they had all entered the top 100 even though he had clearly set up many obstacles. One had to know that the future of the mystics who could enter the top 100 would be very bright, and this would also affect his future as the president!

“Little Snowy, there are ten groups in the first round today. If you can all win, there’s no need to participate in the additional round,” Lan Ming said happily. Ten mystics would be eliminated from today’s competition. But he believed that it wouldn’t be a problem for Leng Ruoxue and the others to advance to the next round with their strength. Moreover, the three weakest people still had dragons in their hands. Their powerful beasts were enough to let them sweep the entire competition.

“We will try our best to end the battles quickly,” Leng Ruoxue said calmly. She had no intention of participating in the additional round anyway. It would be a waste of time.

“The strength of your opponents today is not much different from yours,” Lan Ming continued while glancing at Zhou Kun. Leng Ruoxue and the others would be facing three mystics of Sun Zhou City today. He didn’t know if it was intentional or a coincidence.

“Okay.” Leng Ruoxue nodded slightly. She leaned in Freak’s arms, closed her eyes, and pretended to sleep. In fact, she wasn’t at all curious about who her opponents were. After all, she had basically understood the strength of those people after competing for a week, so she knew very well that no one among them was her match. But even though she couldn’t rule out the possibility that some people had hidden their strength, she wasn’t afraid.
