Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 121 The Eve of the Competition
After saying goodbye to Hai Liang and the others, Lan Tian lingered outside Shura City for quite a while before looking for an opportunity to return. Inside the city, everything was as lively and bustling as ever. The people of the capital lived a happy and prosperous life, still carefree. Everyone was looking forward to the competition, and the streets and alleys were filled with advertisements for the event. Shura City had put a lot of effort into this competition, providing excellent service, which made Lan Tian very excited. The atmosphere of escaping death just now instantly disappeared, and he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the competition.

The city of Shura at night is even more enchanting, with the blue sky lingering over it, allowing one to savor the joys of life.

When Hai Liang and Lan Tian parted ways, they had already arranged a time and place for their next meeting. This had become the moment Lan Tian was most looking forward to. Watching Hai Liang and the others leave, he was silently heartbroken. He was the object of so much affection, and he didn't know how to stop them. He could only watch them disappear from sight.

When Lan Tian returned to the Royal Hotel, he was overwhelmed with memories. The past with Hai Liang and Cao Yuqing kept replaying in his mind, leaving him no time to think about anything else.

Having not seen Lan Tian all day, Yi Mengying was very worried, wondering where he had gone! She had gone to Lan Tian's place several times but had not seen him. Just now, someone said that Lan Tian had returned! She came over immediately and saw Lan Tian looking absent-minded, which made Yi Mengying very sad. She thought that he must have encountered something unhappy to make him look like this.

"Brother Lantian, what's wrong? Did something happen?" Yi Mengying asked Lantian softly.

When Lan Tian heard Yi Mengying's question, his mood immediately improved. He pulled himself out of his deep affection and looked at Yi Mengying with an indescribable feeling. He calmed down immediately, looked at her tenderly, and nodded slightly.

"It's okay, I'm fine, don't worry!" Lan Tian said tenderly to Yi Mengying.

"It's good that you're alright. Where have you been all day? I was so worried about you!" Yi Mengying said to Lan Tian, ​​feeling aggrieved.

"I'm sorry, Yingying. I made you worry! Director Zhao asked me to go out on some errands today, so I came back a little late. I'm really fine, everything is normal. I'm sorry to have made you worry!" Lan Tian said to Yi Mengying with a sense of shame. He didn't want her to know about Hai Liang and Cao Yuqing's affair yet. Focusing on the competition was the most important thing right now.

"Have you eaten yet? How about we go out for a walk?" Yi Mengying said.

"Okay! Now that you mention it, I'm actually a little hungry. Let's go out for a walk and get something to eat," Lan Tian said.

Afterwards, Lantian and Yimengying went out for a stroll and had a great time!

In a secluded place in Shura City, Crown Prince Luo Meng was listening to a report from a group of men in black. It seemed that their mission had gone awry, which greatly displeased the Crown Prince. The leader didn't even dare to look him in the eye. This setback had dealt a heavy blow to their operation, which would allow the enemy to prepare and cause uncontrollable factors to emerge. Therefore, Luo Meng was furious and gave them a severe dressing-down.

"Next, get that matter done properly, and if anything goes wrong, don't come back!..." Luo Meng took the matter very seriously, as it concerned his future and destiny!

……

The next morning, Zhao Qingyun gathered everyone together for a pre-competition pep rally to boost their confidence and get them fully committed to the competition!
"This competition will adopt a direct elimination system, with no second chances. Therefore, everyone must go all out and strive to have the confidence to win," Zhao Qingyun said to everyone.

"You must all understand one principle in this competition: never give up, never surrender, and never surrender until the very end. This time, your endurance and courage will be tested. You must obey commands and follow orders. Everything must be for the final victory. Be prepared to sacrifice your lives to win the Holy Mountain for the Empire, for our descendants, for our loved ones, and for survival. You must forge ahead bravely, even unto death… Do you have confidence?" Crown Prince Zhao Ying roused the crowd with his voice. "Yes…"

"it is good!"

……

A thrilling mobilization meeting ignited everyone's passion, making them eager to rush into battle and die on the battlefield. This competition became a battlefield where victory was imperative; they had to win the final victory.

Lan Tian considered the cruelty and difficulty of the competition system that his master had mentioned, and decided to calm down, focus on cultivation, and comprehensively improve his strength by going into seclusion for a few days.

Indeed, everyone is adjusting their mindset and preparing wholeheartedly for the competition.

The situation in Shura City is constantly changing, and a great battle is about to begin. Both sides are striving to improve their combat skills and gain the upper hand.

Yi Mengying was cultivating in her room. She knew her feelings for Lan Tian; it was her destiny, her future happiness! However, when Yi Lant told her about the closeness of Lan Tian's relationship with Hai Liang and Cao Yuqing, jealousy and the competitive spirit that only women have. This planted the seeds of competitiveness and belligerence in her heart, and her once peaceful world was suddenly thrown into turmoil, filled with countless thoughts.

She knew that Lan Tian treated her like a younger sister, but she didn't feel the same way. Over time, their sibling-like relationship had transformed into romantic love, and the seeds of love had been sown. She harbored the thought that she would marry no one but Lan Tian. However, at this moment, Lan Tian was unaware of this. He didn't feel that love and simply continued to take care of Yi Mengying as before.

Now, Yi Mengying's heart can no longer hold any other man; her only thought is of her beloved Lantian. She wants to be with him every moment, and for this reason, she is extremely concerned about Lantian's whereabouts. Curiosity is a woman's nature. For Lantian, she is now willing to give up everything; this is the nature of a woman's heart, how could one not understand it?

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was time for the official competition. The entire city of Shura mobilized, with people flocking to the arena to watch the matches. The streets and alleys were filled with lively scenes and a joyous atmosphere.

Led by Zhao Qingyun and Crown Prince Zhao Ying, everyone set off for the competition in high spirits and with renewed vigor. Luxurious carriages were already lined up outside the Royal Hotel, specially arranged to transport everyone. The entrance was crowded with citizens from the Luo Yi Empire, praying for their team's victory and to bring glory to the empire.

The weather today is perfect for the game—sunny, birdsong, and fragrant flowers—it's truly invigorating. A new day is about to begin!

Lan Tian strolled onto the carriage and followed everyone to the arena. The outcome was uncertain, but perseverance was key. Only through hard work and dedication could one reap the rewards.
