“Little Lan Lan, you’re very trustworthy. Remember to take care of me if you have any business in the future!” Leng Ruoxue teased as she put away the silver card.
“Little Snowy, your asking price is too high. I probably won’t be able to afford to ask you if there are a few more times,” Lan Ming joked happily.
“It’s okay. I can give you a discount,” Leng Ruoxue said with a light smile.
“That’s more like it.” Lan Ming nodded with satisfaction.
At this moment, the host’s voice sounded from the stage.
The host stood on the stage again and began speaking on the loudspeaker.. What was rare was that not only did he not get down to business this time, but he even began to talk non-stop. Only when the audience was a little impatient did he stop speaking tactfully and announce the official start of the finals.
But after waiting for a long time, no one saw the participants of the finals go on stage. They couldn’t help whispering and discussing.
“What’s going on? Why aren’t they competing yet?”
“That’s right. I clearly saw Leng Ruoxue and the others.”
“What’s the situation now?”
The audience was puzzled, and the venue blew up again!
At this moment, Leng Ruoxue and the others were at the referees’ seats communicating with the head referee!
“What did you say? Say it again?” The head referee looked at Leng Ruoxue and the others in disbelief, thinking that he had misheard.
“I said, we want to forfeit,” Old Man said word by word in case this head referee was so old that he couldn’t hear clearly. In fact, they had collectively come to the referees’ seats while the host was speaking and said that they wanted to forfeit. But after ten minutes, this so-called head referee was still asking them the same question.
“No, no one will compete if you forfeit. This is the finals. None of you are allowed to forfeit!” the head referee roared loudly and panted heavily. T-this was too childish. He had been in charge of so many competitions, but this was the first time he had encountered such a thing. Moreover, today was only the first round of the finals. During the last round of the finals, President Wu not only wanted to watch the competition, but he also planned to take in disciples. If they all forfeited, President Wu would skin him alive!
“Only the five of them forfeited. The three of us didn’t say we’re forfeiting!” Leng Ruoxue reminded kindly. Alas! The poor old man was immediately dumbfounded when he heard that they were forfeiting. He couldn’t even understand what they were saying.
“You won’t forfeit?” the head referee asked uncertainly. He had clearly heard that they were forfeiting just now!
“I won’t forfeit. I still want the reward!” Leng Ruoxue said honestly.
“Oh!” The head referee wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Fortunately, there were still a few seedlings left. Boohoo… President Wu shouldn’t blame me then, right?
“Since there are matches, can we forfeit?” Old Zao said impatiently.
“Erm… the matches for today have been arranged, so you can’t forfeit now. Of course, admitting defeat is possible.” The head referee braced himself. What he implied was that they had to put on a show and go on stage. After all, the audience at the scene had spent money to enter.
“Oh, alright then! But after our matches this time, we won’t do anything else!” Old Zao said very understandingly. Hehe, Lan Ming had already reminded them just now that it was a little late for them to forfeit, so it probably wouldn’t be approved. Therefore, they were already prepared, and now was the time to sell a favor to the head referee.
“Okay. You can forfeit after your matches today,” the head referee said gratefully, thinking that these people were sensible. At least this way, President Wu would have no reason to blame him.
“Then let the competition begin quickly! Let’s end this quickly!” Old Zao said anxiously.
“Okay, the competition can begin.” The head referee turned to the referee beside him and ordered.
After receiving the notification, the referee walked onto the arena.
On the main stage…
“Hey, what do you think Leng Ruoxue and the others are planning?” Lan Lie asked the people beside him with a puzzled face.
“I don’t know,” Sun Teng answered coolly.
“Won’t we know if we continue watching?” Leng Wudi said nonchalantly.
Lan Lie rolled his eyes at Sun Teng and Leng Wudi,and then said to Su Nan, “Su Nan, why did you forfeit?” Alas! He knew that he wouldn’t get the answer he wanted from these two people. These two boring fellows!
“Of course I have to forfeit if I can’t beat them!” Su Nan said nonchalantly. In fact, it wasn’t a problem for him to enter the top ten. But he hadn’t thought about it before because those dragons were really too abnormal. He didn’t have such powerful pet beasts.
“If not for those dragons, you would have had a chance to enter the top five,” Leng Wudi said lightly. Leng Ruoxue, Ye Chen, and Old Man were definitely stronger than Su Nan. As for Leng Qingtian and Lin Liang, their strength should be on par with Su Nan. It was difficult to say who would win.
“Chance to enter the top five? What does that mean?” Lan Lie blinked, his handsome face full of question marks.
“He can enter the top five if he performs beyond his level. Otherwise, he won’t have a chance,” Leng Wudi explained lightly. He also rolled his eyes at Lan Lie, who was stuffing food into his mouth non-stop. He really didn’t understand how a guy who only knew how to eat and sleep advanced to Mystic Monarch.
“Oh.” Lan Lie nodded and turned his gaze to the arena.
“Eh? Where is everyone? Why isn’t there anyone competing?” Lan Lie looked at the empty arena and the mostly empty audience seats in puzzlement.
“They’ve left,” Sun Teng answered coolly, stood up, and prepared to leave.
“Uh! Why did they leave? Aren’t the matches not over yet?” Lan Lie was puzzled. Could Sun Teng want to leave too?
“Today’s matches are over,” Leng Wudi said helplessly. Alas! People who only cared about food! They had poor eyesight and were actually deaf. How pitiful!
“No way! I just saw the referee go on the arena?” Lan Lie was depressed. There was only the referee standing on the arena, so why did the matches end?
