He's spoiled rotten; that wolf cub knows how to flirt and be affectionate.

“Zhong Yuxin is most likely sick. When I arrived, she went crazy. If I hadn’t dodged quickly, she would have pounced on me. She was muttering incoherently, and then she would stop talking, as if someone was choking her. My uncle thought she had been framed. But after checking, there was nothing wrong.”

Fang Tinglan finished speaking in one breath, and then quickly poured herself a glass of water.

"I also think her behavior is quite strange, and I don't know what's going on."

He paused, then turned to look at her: "Sister, why don't you go and take a look? You'll definitely be able to tell."

"...I won't go."

【Host, I think your visit to Zhong Yuxin is like a murderer returning to the crime scene, hahaha—】

"........."

This year's competition venues were reselected by the organizers, and several events were held in different locations.

The competition officially begins tomorrow, and today each sect has brought its most outstanding disciples to the competition venue.

"Have you packed everything?" Qu Yi glanced at the black backpack on his back. It didn't look big or bulging, and it seemed like he didn't have much stuff with him.

"Ah."

"What time is the appointment?"

"Old Qiu said he'd come at five o'clock."

Fang Tinglan checked the time.

4:50.

A few minutes later, the doorbell rang.

The person sent to pick up Fang Tinglan arrived; it was Old Qiu who had sent him.

Upon opening the car door, Fang Tinglan saw the elderly man in the back seat, his cane resting against the door. He exuded an air of authority and dignity.

"Old Qiu actually came in person. Didn't you say you were recuperating?"

"It's the same as resting at the competition venue."

On the way, Fang Tinglan turned her head and glanced at the small truck following behind her car. It didn't look particularly special.

"Did Elder Qiu bring something with him?"

"Did you see it?"

"They were following the car the whole time; you couldn't help but notice them."

"These are the raw stones we'll be using in this competition."

Fang Tinglan was taken aback: "Aren't you afraid something will happen if you use this car to send it over?"

Old Qiu snorted coldly: "I, Qiu Zhen, have been in the underworld for so many years, and I have never met anyone who dared to rob me."

"Yes, Elder Qiu is mighty."

The old man glanced at him but didn't say anything.

At the airport, the truck took another route, while Fang Tinglan and the others went through security and boarded the plane.

More than an hour later, we arrived at our destination.

Someone was already waiting at the exit. Someone took Fang Tinglan's luggage, and Fang Tinglan then pushed the person who was following Qiu Lao into the car.

People inside the car can see outside, but people outside cannot see inside.

Fang Tinglan spotted Fang Xu and Fang Lin immediately; they were talking to someone next to them.

A black car drove past them. Fang Lin and Fang Xu turned their heads and saw it. Fang Xu immediately showed a look of surprise.

"Is this Old Qiu's car?"

"Why is Elder Qiu here too?"

"I heard that they came to participate because they had a recommender."

"Hahaha, Old Qiu really won't give up. Did he find another half-baked person somewhere?"

In previous years, Qiu Zhen had indeed recommended other people to participate, but unfortunately they were all eliminated in the first round.

"The first round is usually about gambling on stones."

Lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, Fang Tinglan spoke.

"This is not difficult."

"Isn't it difficult?"

"Is it difficult?"

There was a hint of helplessness in his rhetorical question.

Fang Tinglan immediately grinned, revealing her teeth: "It's not difficult."

I can't help you with this competition.

"It's nothing," Fang Tinglan said nonchalantly. "Just keep an eye on me."

Before Qu Yi could speak, he continued, "Is there a reward for winning the competition?"

"what do you want?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Qu Yi saw the boy's bright eyes and quickly added, "You can't kiss him."

Fang Tinglan instantly wilted, like a blade of grass ravaged by a storm.
