Chapter 1158: Chapter 1158: Competition Details
Back then, Xun Tianhai and Bai Changfeng both thought the big sponsor was Xun Tianhai’s Pilgrim.
But unexpectedly, it was Fu Shiyan.
Earlier in front of Jiangli, he was merely covering for Fu Shiyan.
But none of this was important.
Master Qu Lin had him come to receive Fu Shiyan, likely knowing that Fu Shiyan would stay at Jingtian Hotel and naturally meet Jiangli.
Why go to Jiangli, not directly approach him, but instead contact Xun Tianhai?
Perhaps once a seed of suspicion has been planted in one’s heart, even the smallest incident can cause it to rapidly take root, sprout, and thrive.
At present, Bai Changfeng felt inexplicably uncomfortable inside.
Xun Tianhai noticed the changes in Bai Changfeng’s expression but thought perhaps Bai Changfeng was overthinking.
President Qu Lin might have just asked casually and didn’t inquire much about Jiangli, so it shouldn’t be that important.
He patted Bai Changfeng on the arm, telling him to relax.
Jiangli and Fu Shiyan had already entered the private room, so he told Bai Changfeng not to overthink.
Seeing this, Bai Changfeng knowingly nodded, suppressed his discomfort, and joined everyone in the private room.
The group had a meal together, and in the following two days, Jiangli and Fu Shiyan stayed in the hotel to rest.
During these two days, Jiangli was not so free.
Many from the great families were quite curious about Jiangli, who suddenly emerged as a dark horse.
Especially since Jiaoyang Temple represented by Jiangli came by invitation, this couldn’t be concealed internally; once it got out, the Xuanmen family members became even more curious.
In these two days, people often knocked on the door, under the pretense of discussing Xuanmen Mystical Technique with Jiangli, probing to understand Jiangli’s depths.
The first time, Jiangli was unprepared and got entangled for a long time.
Later, she simply played dead in her room, seeing no one and taking care of all needs within the room.
Anyway, no matter where she stayed, it was all the same to her, making no difference.
As long as she could avoid their entanglement.
While she managed to hide, Xia Xin and Fu’er, including Wu Master and others, had to go out.
Once they went out, they would be stopped by those from the great families, bombarded with questions.
Some even wanted to spar with Xia Xin.
Xia Xin knew clearly that although they claimed it was to spar, they really wanted to probe his skills.
Knowing his own limits, Xia Xin repeatedly declined, making him feel a bit tense every time he went out.
Enduring like this for two days, finally, the day of the competition officially began.
The night before, everyone received their participation certificates and the content sheet for the first day of the event.
But the content sheet contained just one sentence, reminding them to gather at B City’s Minghe Plaza at six in the morning.
Everyone was a bit surprised to see this one sentence.
Even Xia Xin was taken aback upon receiving the content sheet, not expecting it to be so simple.
And at that moment, the group chat exploded.
Due to rapid information exchange, right on the night of checking into Jingtian Hotel, Xia Xin was pulled into the hotel group chat, filled with contestants from the Xuanmen family staying at the hotel.
At this time, everyone had received the content sheet; the noisy group chat quieted for a moment before exploding once more.
Everyone was chattering, asking what the content sheet represented.
While looking at the messages in the group, Xia Xin asked Jiangli, “Ancestor, what do you think this sentence means?”
Nesting on the sofa, holding her phone, Jiangli continued gaming, not the least bit nervous about the next day’s competition.
Hearing his question, she indifferently replied, “What else could it mean? It just says the competition location is there; the content must revolve around Minghe Plaza. What’s there to ask?”
