Just as Hu Liena and the other two were still in shock, Bibi Dong continued:
"Now you know why I told you to pay special attention to Yu Tianqing, right?"
"If we underestimate him..."
"You will pay a heavy price."
After saying this, Bibi Dong didn't wait for the three of them to respond before getting up and leaving.
After Bibi Dong left, Yan spoke:
"Is this Jade Azure really as powerful as His Holiness the Pope says?"
"Why have we never heard of such a prodigy before?"
Xie Yue glanced at her and spoke coldly:
"No matter how strong Yu Tianqing is, in this elite competition, he will only become our stepping stone!"
At this point, Xie Yue turned his gaze to Hu Liena and said again:
"Little sister, don't overthink it."
"With the Spirit Hall team led by the three of us, we are more than capable of sweeping away all other teams!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Liena snapped out of her thoughts and said earnestly:
"elder brother."
"Since the teacher said we should pay attention to this Yu Tianqing, we shouldn't underestimate him!"
"I'm also very curious to see what's so special about this person that made the teacher give me such a reminder."
Before Xie Yue could reply, Yan suddenly moved closer to Hu Liena and said with a grin:
"Nana, don't worry."
"If we run into that kid, I'll go test the waters for you."
"Of course, he absolutely mustn't be eliminated before he even meets us, otherwise there's nothing we can do."
Hu Liena slightly raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a meaningful smile.
The three of them then left together without lingering.
...
Time passes.
In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.
There are only three days left until the Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies.
At this moment, at Blue Tyrant Academy, Yu Tianqing had just finished training with the girls.
"Tianqing, the competition will begin in three days."
"At that time, our Azure Dragon team will truly shine!"
Dugu Yan excitedly approached Yu Tianqing, her anticipation growing as she thought about the competition three days later.
Before Yu Tianqing could reply, Shui Yue'er spoke up:
"Yan Yan, with Tian Qing as the core of the Azure Dragon team, winning this tournament is a piece of cake!"
As she spoke, Shui Yue'er moved closer to Yu Tianqing's other side, grabbed his arm, and said in a cute manner:
"Brother Tianqing, am I right?"
Yu Tianqing remained calm.
He has made considerable preparations for this elite competition.
But the only thing that gives them something to look forward to is the Spirit Hall team.
After all, the three members of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation were all quite strong.
"Moon, we can't underestimate any opponent, or we might be caught off guard and lose our boat!"
After thinking for a moment, Yu Tianqing replied in this way.
Upon hearing this, Shuiyue'er disagreed and pouted, saying:
"With Brother Tianqing here, how could the boat possibly capsize?"
"Among Soul Masters of the same age, none can surpass Tian Qing."
"You are the backbone of our Azure Dragon team. As long as you are here, we will not lose the championship!"
Yu Tianqing was both amused and exasperated by Shui Yue'er's praise.
At this moment, Shui Bing'er interjected:
"Moon, Tianqing is right. We can't underestimate our opponent."
"Take every game seriously!"
Shui Yue'er paused for a moment, then nodded slightly and said:
"Okay, sister!"
Just as Yu Tianqing and the others were talking, a student walked over from not far away and blocked their way.
"Junior Brother Tianqing, someone is looking for you outside the academy."
"He asked me to pass on the message, saying... saying he really wants to see you!"
After saying this, the student left in a hurry without waiting for Yu Tianqing's reply.
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianqing frowned and muttered to himself in disbelief:
"strangeness."
"Who would come looking for me at this time?"
"You really wanted to see me?"
Just as Yu Tianqing was pondering, Dugu Yan and the other women also became interested.
"Tianqing, tell me honestly, it's not another pretty girl you met outside, is it?"
Dugu Yan questioned.
At the same time, Shuiyue'er also joked:
"Well, Tianqing, you're really getting more and more outrageous, always flirting with other women!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianqing's face was filled with bitterness and helplessness.
At this moment, Shui Bing'er spoke up:
"Alright, let's go with Tianqing and see, then we'll know, won't we?"
As soon as Shui Bing'er finished speaking, Dugu Yan and Shui Yue'er each took one of Yu Tianqing's arms and then helped him head towards the academy gate.
Seeing this, Shui Bing'er, Ye Lingling, and the other women followed suit without hesitation.
You should know that Gu Yuena came to see Yu Tianqing a few days ago, and she is still living in the small courtyard behind Lanba Academy.
The women were already somewhat bothered by this.
Now, someone has come knocking on the door again, saying they want to see Yu Tianqing and that they really want to meet him, which immediately piqued the curiosity of the women.
Not long after, Yu Tianqing led the group of women to the gate of Lanba Academy.
Upon closer inspection, the women didn't see any beauty, but instead saw a person who was wrapped up very tightly.
Upon seeing this, Yu Tianqing didn't hesitate and walked straight towards the person, with Shui Bing'er and the other beauties following closely behind.
Upon approaching, Yu Tianqing sized up the man, but because the man was masked and wearing a hat, his features were completely obscured.
"You were looking for me?"
After a brief silence, Yu Tianqing inquired.
"Cough cough..."
The man coughed twice, nodded, and said:
No...that's right.
"May I speak to you in private?"
Upon hearing the voice, Yu Tianqing was startled.
Shui Bing'er and the others couldn't tell the difference, but he could tell that the person who came was none other than Yu Xiaogang.
"What does he want with me?"
Yu Tianqing hesitated inwardly.
After thinking for a moment, he replied:
"good."
Seeing that Yu Tianqing wanted to talk to him alone, Yu Xiaogang was overjoyed and quickly led Yu Tianqing to the nearby woods.
When Shui Bing'er and the other women saw that the person looking for Yu Tianqing was a man, they immediately lost interest and waited where they were.
Before long, Yu Tianqing and Yu Xiaogang arrived in the forest.
"call..."
Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath, then removed his mask and stared straight at Yu Tianqing.
Yu Tianqing remained calm and asked coldly:
"Speak! What brings you here?"
Yu Xiaogang paused for a moment, his lips twitching repeatedly, but he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
"Um?"
Seeing this, Yu Tianqing frowned slightly and said in a deep voice:
"If you have nothing else to say, I'll head back now!"
Having said that, Yu Tianqing turned to leave.
Upon seeing this, Yu Xiaogang immediately became anxious and shouted, "Wait!"
Yu Tianqing paused, turned around and looked at Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang narrowed his eyes slightly, a resolute glint in them.
Immediately afterwards, there was a thud, and then Yu Xiaogang knelt down directly in front of Yu Tianqing!
