Chapter 148 - No Give Up
Everyone was discussing about how Xiao Qianhan did not appear.
Looking at the Western Lantern Kingdom Princess' devastatingly beautiful face from afar, it seemed to suddenly understand why Xiao Qianhan had not appeared at the last moment.
In this world, no matter which woman saw the Grand Princess of the Western Lantern Kingdom, they would feel ashamed of their own inferiority. Of course, any man would choose the Grand Princess of the Western Lantern Kingdom, and not choose Xiao Qianhan instead.
"But maybe you guys are overthinking things. Xiao Qianhan is Young Lord of the Zhao Family's adopted sister, even if she does not participate in the third round today, she would still be able to enter Infernal Forest."
"I almost forgot about this, the moment you said it, I remembered, this Xiao Qianhan really has some skills, he can actually transform into the adopted sister of the Young Lord of the Zhao Family!"
"Sister-in-law? I don't think the relationship is that simple, right? Young Lord of the Zhao Family has never appeared in front of anyone, but suddenly, for Xiao Qianhan's sake, no matter how you look at it, the relationship between the two of them is not ordinary. "
"You're saying …"
"It's good that we all know, but don't mention it the night before, this matter is extremely well-known, Xiao Qianhan is just like a woman with a water personality. When we were at Western Lantern Kingdom, I heard a few warriors discussing that since Xiao Qianhan was annulled by her fiancé, Yang Hua had been seducing people everywhere, and then it seemed like she was exposed by someone else, but she suppressed it all the time!"
"Listening to what you said, Xiao Qianhan is a very scheming person."
"That's only natural. If she doesn't have mental ability, would she be able to seduce Crown Prince of Beiming Nation and Young Lord of the Zhao Family? However, it is possible that her water nature has been exposed, and both Crown Prince of Beiming Nation and Young Lord of the Zhao Family found out about it. Thus, she should now be prohibited from participating in the competition. "
"Why do I feel like this rumor is wrong? Didn't you all not watch yesterday's competition? No matter how you look at it, Xiao Qianhan does not seem like a woman with a normal personality. "
"What do you know? You know the face but not the heart …"
Not only were ordinary people discussing, even the warriors were also discussing amongst themselves.
Of course, the topic of discussion was similar to those people.
Right now, the matches will be arranged according to the ranking for the third round yesterday.
In this way, what counted wasn't luck, but strength. Only the strong could make it to the end.
Perhaps, it was a good thing that Xiao Qianhan did not come. If she was beaten to a miserable state by someone in the end, she would truly become a big joke.
"Have you found anything?" Yue Lan asked a maid beside him who had gone to find out more news.
The maid shook her head and replied, "I've already asked the people at the inn, but Xiao Qianhan has never left the inn yet.
"Give up the duel?" "No, that shouldn't be the case." Yue Lan shook her head. Yesterday, before Zhao Zhu appeared, Xiao Qianhan had practically fought with her life on the line to win against her. Since she wanted to enter the third round, how could she suddenly give up?
There must be a reason.
This servant asked the innkeeper about it, but the innkeeper did not reveal much, only that Xiao Qianhan and Ning Siqi did not leave the inn, when this servant still wanted to ask further, this servant discovered that Zhao Zhu was in the inn, and immediately left.
"Zhao Zhu is at the inn?" Yue Lan was slightly surprised. Why would Zhao Zhu see Xiao Qianhan alone in the tavern?
"Yes."
Yue Lan nodded her head, "There's no need to ask about Xiao Qianhan anymore." She was very clear about the relationship between Zhao Zhu and her, a close brother who risked his life and risked his life, so it was impossible for Xiao Qianhan to have the kind of ambiguous relationship that others described, so, there was only one possibility, and that was that something had happened to Xiao Qianhan?
What could it be?
Looking at the match on the stage, Yue Lan was slightly absent-minded.
Nearby, Ye Jun looked behind him but didn't see any trace of Xiao Qianhan. Her expressionless face showed a little surprise, a person who dared to gamble his life against Xiao Qianhan just to enter the Infernal Forest, how could he give up at the last moment? There was only one reason, which was probably because he had suddenly encountered something that he couldn't get out of.
What a pity.
Groups of martial artists were having their final matches on the stage.
"Have you found it?" Yuan Shu asked, looking forward expressionlessly.
The guard shook his head, "I didn't manage to find out what exactly happened, all I know is that Xiao Qianhan seemed to have been severely injured and she hasn't left the inn even until just now."
"Yes." The light in Yuan Shu's eyes flickered, and he gently nodded his head.
In the beginning, the first group was Yuan Shu and Yue Lan, but Yuan Shu still chose to concede. Then, Yue Lan entered the second round.
Gradually, in the last group, only one martial artist walked onto the stage. He had no match.
Seeing that, the judge looked down the stage and asked: "Where is Xiao Qianhan? Why not go up on stage? "
Everyone was sizing up their surroundings, Xiao Qianhan was nowhere to be seen.
"It looks like Xiao Qianhan really isn't coming anymore!"
"I wasted a slot!" How many people thought that they could make it into the third round, but were wasted by Xiao Qianhan just like that? "
"Yeah, it's so unfair!"
When the warrior saw that Xiao Qianhan had not appeared, a smile immediately appeared on his face. To be able to fight in the second round without fighting anyone, his luck was simply too good! Perhaps, if his luck was better, he would become famous after today's top three!
Maybe the evaluator was afraid that Xiao Qianhan was Young Lord of the Zhao Family's adopted sister, so he waited for a while longer, and in the end, when he did not see Xiao Qianhan again, he understood that Xiao Qianhan might not appear.
"Since Xiao Qianhan is not participating in the third round, then I shall announce the cancellation of Xiao Qianhan's entry into the Infernal Forest …"
Before the judge could finish his sentence, someone suddenly shouted, "Wait!"
Ning Siqi ran over quickly, panting as she raised her head to look at the judge, she anxiously shouted out: "Xiao Qianhan is here, she did not give up on the competition!"
Hearing that, everyone looked at Xiao Qianhan who was slowly walking over.
If anyone was more careful, they would definitely be able to see that the woman walking slowly towards them under the sunlight was extremely slow, as if every step consumed the energy of her body. However, she walked with determination, her eyes filled with determination, causing everyone to ignore her slow steps.
The woman's skin was as white as jade under the sun, and her jet-black hair fluttered in the wind. In that instant, she seemed to have become the most attractive starlight in the world.
Even under the gazes of the crowd, she remained calm and collected, her steps calm.
"It's really Xiao Qianhan." Someone said in a daze.
Ning Siqi's eyes reddened, and she was the only one here who knew how difficult each step Xiao Qianhan took was! The entire room was filled with blood, all of it was Xiao Qianhan's blood! Xiao Qianhan currently had a pitifully low amount of spirit energy. It was possible that even if she were to face a practitioner in the early stages of Violet Profound Realm, he would still be easily defeated.
