I want to go back to my original world and live an ordinary life.

After introducing the list of the ten groups that advanced, Old Qin exchanged a few polite words and then announced that today's competition was over. He asked all contestants to go home and prepare. The final of the Heavenly Competition would be held early tomorrow morning, and the Ninth Prince of the Holy Sword Kingdom would also be present at the stadium to watch the final of the Heavenly Competition.

After coming out of the Tiansai competition, Qiu Yan became unhappy because he felt that his training in the past few months was in vain. After all, no matter how confident Qiu Yan was, he was not confident enough to fight against people at level 190 and 200! And it was just an estimated level. In fact, their strength would definitely be higher than estimated, so Qiu Yan felt very depressed when he thought about it. However, no matter how depressed he was, he couldn't just give up the competition. At least he had to fight hard and treat it as a way to improve his experience.

Qiu Yan was thinking about this while walking towards the inn. On the other side, in a hidden house in the imperial city, a middle-aged man was sitting upright with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was resting his mind. Next to him stood a young man, who was about 20 years old and looked good, but there were several obvious scars on his face, which made him look a little less perfect. At this time, an old man dressed as a servant walked in, bowed to the middle-aged man sitting in the middle of the hall and said, "Master, the head of the Xiong family is here."

Hearing the old man's words, the middle-aged man slowly opened his eyes and said, "Please let him in." The middle-aged man's tone was very calm, with a feeling of superiority and arrogance. After hearing the middle-aged man's words, the old man replied yes, then turned and left. Not long after the old man left, a tall middle-aged man strode in. The middle-aged man looked angry. After entering, he didn't say anything and sat down directly. This middle-aged man was none other than Xiong Lie, the head of the Xiong family who was determined to kill Qiu Yan!

The middle-aged man glanced at the angry Xiong Lie. He knew why Xiong Lie was angry, so he said, "Brother Xiong, I heard about Tianwei. You don't have to worry about the person named Jin Ling'er. I checked her background. Her name is fake. She used the badge of Jin Yan's daughter to participate in the competition. She is friends with the real Jin Ling'er. As for her real background, I haven't found it out yet, but I guess she doesn't have a big background, so don't worry, brother Xiong, you can just seek revenge on her after the Tiansai is over. Moreover, my son also watched the Tiansai competition today. He said that the means used by Jin Ling'er in the Tiansai field are very similar to Qiu Yan who injured him. It can even be said that except for the different looks and genders, this Jin Ling'er is very similar to the person named Qiu Yan in terms of attack methods and means. You and I both know that there is a thing called human skin mask in the black market. This thing can not only change a person's appearance, but also change a person's voice, making a person instantly become another person. So I guess that this Jin Ling'er may have a certain relationship with Qiu Yan."

At this point, the middle-aged man stood up, then put his hands behind his back and continued, "I have asked someone to invite Elder Yuan here. He can easily see through a person's disguise. When Elder Yuan arrives tomorrow, no matter whether that person is Qiu Yan or not, he will not escape death after the Tiansai is over. So, Brother Xiong, there is no need for you to be angry now. Just wait patiently for another day." The middle-aged man who spoke was actually Mr. Hu's father, the Lord of Guiming Mansion.

After hearing what Lord Hu said, the expression on Xiong Lie's face improved a little, but after thinking about it, Xiong Lie showed an embarrassment again, so he asked Lord Hu again, "Brother Hu, if Jin Ling'er wins the Tiansai three days before tomorrow and gets the qualification to enter the secret realm, then won't I be able to do anything?" Xiong Lie was determined to kill Qiu Yan to avenge his son. If his strength did not allow it, he would not want to wait even a day.

"Don't worry about this, Brother Xiong. Jin Ling'er's strength is at most over 160 levels, and among the ten contestants who advanced this time, at least three are practitioners above 190 levels, so he has no chance of getting into the top three. Moreover, if that person is really Qiu Yan, even if he enters the top three, I will kill him without hesitation." After the Lord of the Hu Mansion finished speaking, a trace of murderous intent appeared on his face. Although he has always acted very calm, his hatred for Qiu Yan is no less than that of Xiong Lie. After all, the face of their Hu family is much more valuable than that of the Xiong family.

Hearing what Hu Mansion Master said, Xiong Lie felt relieved. This way, he didn't have to worry about anything. Anyway, with Hu Mansion Master's support, tomorrow would definitely be the day Jin Ling'er died. Of course, Xiong Lie didn't consider Qiu Yan's entry into the top three, because after listening to Hu Mansion Master's analysis, he felt that Qiu Yan's strength of level 160 would never be able to enter the top three. Thinking of this, Xiong Lie smiled, stood up, clasped his fists and said to Hu Mansion Master, "Brother Hu is still clear-sighted. This way, I feel relieved!"

After Xiong Lie finished speaking, Lord Hu smiled, and then stopped talking about this matter. Instead, he sat down again and said to Xiong Lie with a smile, "Brother Xiong, now that you have figured it out, don't think about it anymore. I came to you today because I have something more important to discuss with you."

Hearing that Lord Hu had other matters to discuss with him, Xiong Lie waved his hand generously and said, "Lord Hu, you are too polite. When I can kill Jin Ling'er tomorrow, just tell me directly if you have anything to say. I, Old Xiong, will never say no!" Xiong Lie said this very casually and in a humble manner, as if he was following Lord Hu's lead.

Hearing Xiong Lie's words, Lord Hu smiled. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since Brother Xiong is so free and easy, I, Hu, will not beat around the bush." ​​As he spoke, Lord Hu whispered to Hu Lie about the real purpose of his visit this time.

Qiu Yan didn't know what the Lord Hu and Xiong Lie were planning. He had already returned to his room at the inn, but Jin Ling'er hadn't come back yet. Although it was still early, Qiu Yan didn't want to practice anymore because he felt it was no longer necessary. He had practiced day and night for the past few months, but in the end he still couldn't get into the top three of the Tiansai, which made him feel very tired and exhausted. So he sat alone at the table, holding his head in a daze, not wanting to do anything, just wanting to be in a daze like this.

Qiu Yan wanted to ask Da Piaoliang if there was any way to quickly upgrade his level, but Da Piaoliang went back after what happened this morning, saying that she was going to bring her real body over. Qiu Yan didn't understand what Da Piaoliang meant. She had been hiding in the wooden sword for the past two days, but she still said that she was going back to bring her real body over. Although he didn't understand, Qiu Yan didn't think much about it. Anyway, he couldn't control Da Piaoliang. Qiu Yan had no say whether she left or stayed. So now Qiu Yan didn't even have anyone to think of a solution for him.

Qiu Yan sat there until it was completely dark. At this time, Jin Ling'er, who had been out for the day, came back. She seemed to be in a very good mood. She lit the candles after entering, and then looked at Qiu Yan who was sitting in a daze at the table and jokingly said, "What's wrong? Mr. Qiu, who usually practices as soon as he has some free time, is in a daze today? Are you regretting not attacking me yesterday?"

Hearing Jin Ling'er's joke, Qiu Yan looked up at Jin Ling'er, who had changed into new clothes and put on the magic hairpin he gave her. Qiu Yan and Jin Ling'er had been together for so many days, and although Jin Ling'er changed her clothes every day, her clothes were only in two colors, one yellow and one blue, and the styles were similar, so if you were not familiar with her, you might think she only had those two clothes.

But Jin Ling'er's clothes are all very beautiful, mainly because she is beautiful. Jin Ling'er had a playful expression on her face at this time, holding her hair with her hands and looking at Qiu Yan with a smile. Qiu Yan didn't want to chat with Jin Ling'er now, he glanced at Jin Ling'er unhappily and said, "Have you heard about the list of finalists of the Tiansai?"

The Tiansai is a competition that the entire kingdom attaches great importance to, so the events that happened in the Tiansai spread quickly in the imperial city. It can be said that the entire imperial city is talking about the Tiansai now, so even if you don’t go to the Tiansai competition venue, as long as you stand on the side of the road, you will know everything that happened in the Tiansai competition. Just like the incident between Qiu Yan and Xiong Tianwei, the fastest, most widespread and most exaggerated thing that spread in the imperial city in the past two days was that incident. Take this morning, for example, Qiu Yan heard someone say on the way to the competition venue that Jin Ling’er was a poison saint who was immune to all poisons!

Qiu Yan wanted to laugh when he heard this. It would be fine if people in the previous world had nothing to do and liked to do these meaningless things, but it made him depressed that in this world, cultivators also did such groundless things. However, Qiu Yan did not pay attention to those people. Anyway, it didn't matter what others said or how they spread the news. The important thing was that he knew it in his heart.

After hearing about Qiu Yan's question about the Tiansai competition, Jin Ling'er didn't even think about it and replied directly, "I know! You are the weakest among the ten people, and you are the underdog to win the championship. The odds outside the venue have reached 100 to 1!"

Jin Ling'er's tone was very relaxed, and she didn't look anxious or worried about Qiu Yan at all. She looked very happy, which made Qiu Yan very puzzled. He thought that Jin Ling'er was still his friend no matter what, and it was fine if she didn't think of a solution for him, but she shouldn't be so gloating! So Qiu Yan sat up straight and argued with Jin Ling'er, "Miss Ling'er, we are friends after all, and we were even engaged. Now you look at me like this and you don't help me think of a solution, but you look so gloating. Isn't it not good for you to do this?"
