Gu Ruoyun did not reply but she turned her gaze towards Elder Wuxu.
Perhaps it was because he had a guilty conscience, Elder Wuxu quickly turned away and let out a dry cough when he met her eyes. He then said, “Alright, you can start drawing lots now. Those who have drawn the same numbers shall become opponents!”
After Elder Wuxu had spoken, a eunuch walked out with the lottery box and slowly passed it around.
A faint smile formed on Gu Ruoyun’s face as she saw the eunuch slowly approach her. Then, without a change in expression, she placed her hand into the lottery box and pulled out a piece of paper. After reading the number on the paper, Gu Ruoyun put it away calmly.
“Number one, step onto the arena!”
Elder Wuxu shot Su Lin a look and cleared his throat again. His elderly yet dignified voice slowly rang out through the garden.
An arena had been set up overnight in the rear garden. It was obvious that this arena has been prepared for today’s competition!
After Elder Wuxu had spoken, the two young people who had drawn the number one slowly walked into the arena and released their spiritual beasts before leaving!
“Guess whose spiritual beast is going to win?”
A seductive voice rang out beside Gu Ruoyun which made her raise her brows and turn around. Her eyes then landed upon the man’s defined, peerless features as she replied, “Your body hasn’t completely healed but instead of resting in the guest house, what are you doing here?”
“Xiao Yun’er, are you worried about me?” The evildoer shot Gu Ruoyun a coquettish glance and replied with a grunt, “Even though I’ve given up on the competition, I still want to watch your performance! After all, it’s not easy to have the opportunity to witness such an exciting battle.”
Gu Ruoyun rubbed her nose but did not say anything else. She then sensed a pair of fiery eyes glaring straight at her. Turning around, she saw Su Lin’s face which was nearly twisted from jealousy!
However, Su Lin did not cause any trouble for her this time. There was a smile on her pretty face as she walked towards Zuo Shangchen.
“Brother Chen, you’re right, such an exciting competition is rare to come by! Especially since I’m participating in it! Watch closely after this and watch how the Silver Heaven Wolf in my possession gobbles up the piece of garbage in her arms!”
She raised her head arrogantly as her face filled with confidence.
The little fellow overheard the woman calling it a piece of garbage and was enraged. Its large eyes glared fiercely at her as it squeaked and scolded her angrily.
Pfft!
Su Lin burst into disdainful laughter. “Your spiritual beast can’t even talk, where’s the use in that? Gu Ruoyun, if you have no way of making a powerful spiritual beast bow to you, you’d better admit defeat. I can kill this useless thing with one blow!”
Su Lin had wanted to compete against Gu Ruoyun from the beginning to take this advantage to kill her. However, she no longer has that intention now.
After all, Gu Ruoyun was at the late-stage of the exceptional state! Even though Su Lin was confident that she could not be defeated by Gu Ruoyun, that does not mean that Su Lin would be able to kill her int he competition! Hence, she had accepted the Underworld’s cultivator’s help! She would defeat Gu Ruoyun in the second round of the contest and make her leave!
Gu Ruoyun had offended the Underworld’s cultivators after all so even if Su Lin does not kill her, the people from the Underworld would not leave her alone either.
