"Alright, Ye Qiu, I should go now."
Feng Xiaotian smiled slightly, lifted his foot to leave, but after taking two steps, he suddenly turned back.
"Ye Qiu, I thought this year's contestants still wouldn't be able to defeat those monsters from the Spirit Hall."
"But now, I just want to say... you're the real monster. I'll be cheering for you in the finals!"
Ye Qiu smiled slightly.
"Then I'll thank you in advance."
"Yes, I look forward to your victory."
Feng Xiaotian nodded slightly, turned, and left.
Ye Qiu called out, "By the way, do you need us to treat your teammates?"
"No need, we can handle it ourselves."
Feng Xiaotian waved behind him and left.
Ye Qiu smiled and shook his head, then led the six girls towards the rest area.
Xiao Wu nestled beside Ye Qiu, blinking her eyes, and asked with some doubt,
"Xiao Qiu, will the people from the Spirit Hall be very strong?"
"What? Are you scared, Sister Xiao Wu?"
Ye Qiu squeezed her soft little hand and asked with a smile.
"Hmph! How could I be scared? I'm just excited!"
Xiao Wu raised her fist; she was simply looking forward to the opportunity to fight alongside Ye Qiu.
"Haha, don't worry, the final championship will definitely be ours."
Ye Qiu chuckled.
Although confident, Ye Qiu wasn't reckless.
If it were a battle between peers, the Blue Tyrant Academy team would absolutely not fear any challenge.
But the age limit for this All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament was twenty-five.
Geniuses may be few, but they certainly exist. What
Ye Qiu was worried about now was whether the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation would be strengthened by the butterfly effect.
That
would undoubtedly cause some trouble.
"You naughty guy, how was it? Did you enjoy being praised just now?"
Ning Rongrong hugged his arm, squinting at Ye Qiu.
"That's a bit too much."
Ye Qiu smiled helplessly, still blushing a little when he thought about it.
"Hmph! You'd better give us an explanation, or you'll regret it."
Ning Rongrong bared her teeth, threatening.
"Uh..."
Ye Qiu broke out in a cold sweat.
He had truly suffered an undeserved calamity this time.
...
When he returned to the rest area, Liu Erlong and the other two women had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Ye Qiu return...
they immediately went to greet him.
"Husband, how are you? Are you alright?"
Liu Erlong raised her soft hand with concern, stroking Ye Qiu's body to check him over.
"I'm fine, I just used up a lot of soul power. Let's go back to the academy first."
Ye Qiu looked at the gazes of the people around him.
Besides the audience's stares, there was also the awe and gossip of the participating teams.
He finally understood why he had attracted such gossipy looks.
It was all because of Huo Wu!
"Alright, then let's go back to the academy first."
Liu Erlong paused, having also noticed the unusual gazes around her.
It's hard to explain here.
Ye Qiu's performance was just too dazzling; it's better to leave early.
...
On the other side.
Huo Wu originally wanted to go to the Blue Tyrant Academy team's rest area immediately after Ye Qiu finished his match to explain to him and tell him not to overthink it.
But after Ye Qiu's team finished their match,
it was Blazing Fire Academy's turn, so she had no choice but to play her match first.
She planned to explain after her match.
But by the time her match ended, Ye Qiu and the others had already disappeared from the entire Great Soul Arena.
She was so angry that she stomped her feet.
Meanwhile,
Feng Xiaotian also came up. Looking at Huo Wu, he realized he didn't need her anymore.
He just wanted Huo Wu to be happy.
"Sister Huo Wu, are you looking for Ye Qiu and the others? They've already left."
"Feng Xiaotian, why did you follow me? Aren't you supposed to be healing?"
Huo Wu frowned.
She felt a little guilty for encouraging Feng Xiaotian to confront Ye Qiu.
Fortunately, Feng Xiaotian was alright. He recovered quickly from the blow, otherwise she really wouldn't know what to do.
"Healing isn't urgent,"
Feng Xiaotian smiled slightly.
"Hmm?"
Huo Wu raised an eyebrow. She felt that Feng Xiaotian was a little different.
His reaction seemed a bit calmer.
If it were before, if she spoke to him like this, he would definitely think she was concerned about him.
Although this time there was a bit of that, it was only due to her guilt.
However, it would be a good thing if Feng Xiaotian stopped bothering her.
Their two families had a fairly good relationship.
She didn't want things to get so bad over this.
"Sister Huowu, I know some gossip about Ye Qiu, do you want to hear it?"
Feng Xiaotian's sudden question stunned Huowu.
"What...what nonsense are you talking about? What do I need his gossip for?!"
Huowu said, though inexplicably
she felt an urge to know more about Ye Qiu.
She changed the subject.
"However...maybe I can find a way to defeat Ye Qiu from the information you provide. Tell me, I'm listening."
Feng Xiaotian smiled wryly.
He had been in love with Huowu for so many years, so he knew her well.
He understood that Huowu was truly in love.
...
Blue Tyrant Academy.
In the courtyard, after being interrogated by the women, Ye Qiu finally proved his innocence.
After spending some time cultivating with them
, before lunch, Ye Qiu received a message from Tang Yuehua.
It was Xue Ke who came to deliver it personally.
"Xue Ke, why are you here?"
Ye Qiu was very surprised by Xue Ke's arrival.
Xue Ke watched the other women living with Ye Qiu, her eyes filled with deep envy.
Liu Erlong, of course, knew that the message from Yuexuan meant that Yuehua had something important to discuss with Ye Qiu.
Otherwise, Tang Yuehua would rarely take the initiative to approach Ye Qiu.
She pulled the other women into the kitchen, not wanting to delay Ye Qiu's business.
"Xue Ke, do you know what Yuehua wanted to talk to me about?"
Ye Qiu pulled Xue Ke aside and asked her softly.
"I don't know. Sister Yuehua just asked me to tell you that if you have time, go visit her. She...she misses you."
Xue Ke's face flushed as she said this.
The last sentence was clearly something she had added on her own initiative.
"Oh, is that so? Then I'll go right now. Wait for me a moment, I need to talk to Erlong and the others."
Ye Qiu gently patted Xue Ke's hair, turned and went into the kitchen to tell them he wouldn't be back for dinner, then took Xue Ke to Yuexuan.
...
The top floor of Yuexuan.
Ye Qiu appeared there directly with Xue Ke.
The layout was as usual:
elegant sandalwood, rustic yet magnificent decorations, and the sound of traditional Chinese string and wind instruments filling the air.
"Come in, Qiu."
