Since they didn’t need to fight, why should she still waste her time here? She was naturally going to do whatever she needed to do!
The young couple drifted away after flicking their sleeves. Feng Chen, the Little Despot, Dao Wuji, and the other third wheels naturally couldn’t care less about staying here. Hence, they also left with the couple.
Mentor Zhou laughed awkwardly and scratched his nose. “Ah, everybody watch how other people fight in competitions. You’ll be able to gather more experience by doing so. As the saying goes… you have to know yourself and the enemy in order to come out unscathed.”
Mentor Zhou speechlessly looked at the students who had turned around to discuss.
Alright, children, as long as you’re happy!

On the other side.
Xu Xinran turned her head with a frown. There was a huge mass of black heads behind them, so she simply couldn’t find what Yu Gui was looking at, but she was fully aware that Yu Gui’s thoughts had wandered from the competition starting from earlier.
Xu Xinran said coldly, “Our academy is about to go up. Yu Gui, Jiang Qi, you people best concentrate.”
“Don’t get eliminated in the first match!” A crisp laugh came from behind Xu Xinran.
The young lady who spoke was in her early twenties. Her round face was full of smiles.
She purposely tilted her head to act naive, as if she was only making a joke with no malice at all.
“Zhuang Meng, don’t worry. We will definitely take responsibility for our own matches,” Yu Gui responded. She then turned her head, not looking at Xu Xinran and them anymore.
Zhuang Meng shrugged. “Fine, fine. I was only worrying about you guys. After all, even though we belong to different teams, our total points will be tallied together.”
Since Yu Gui didn’t respond to her, Zhuang Meng didn’t say anything more.
In reality, Xu Xinran and Zhuang Meng were indeed worrying too much.
Yu Gui and company’s strength basically determined that they would be crushing the competition in the first few rounds of the semifinals.
Soon, Yu Gui led Jiang Qi and them from the arena stage. They did not return to their seats and simultaneously headed out of the battle arena.
“Where are you going?” Xu Xinran and Zhuang Meng’s voices suddenly appeared behind everyone. They scrutinized the group.
“Since we finished our matches, we planned to take a walk outside,” Lu Ling responded quietly.
“Mhm, it’s rather stuffy in here.”
“These two senior sisters, please pay more attention to your imminent matches.”
Xu Xinran smiled. “I find that you all are very strange. You people couldn’t be spies from another academy, no?”
Yu Gui’s expression turned cold. “What does Godsend Academy have that we would covet?”
“Oh? Is there not any? Godsend Academy’s spiritual techniques are at earth rank at the least.”
“Who would covet those spiritual techniques?” The little cannonball Fang Xu sneered, “You people only have that bit of discernment!”
“Fang Xu, pay attention to your attitude!” Xu Xinran berated.
What a joke, these bumpkins who came from the Lower Star Domain thought that they had a broader scope than the natives of the Six Prefectures Continent after living here for several years?
“Aiya, everyone are schoolmates from the same academy. There is no need to fight.”
“Shut up, you still act cute when you’re so old already. You think that you really are cute just because the character ‘Meng’ in your name means cute?” Finding a release, the little cannonball made a direct attack. “So disgusting! Your coquettish tone just makes me so squeamish every time. Sorry that I’m a woman and can’t fall for your charms!”
“You!!” These incisive words thoroughly beat down Zhuang Meng, and she was so enraged that her entire body shook.
