"Why are you here?"
Gong Qi was utterly stunned.
Young Mistress Gong San had said she was already tens of thousands of years old and had long lost the right to participate in the clan competition. What was she doing here joining the fun?!
She had even made such a grand entrance. Anyone unaware would have thought some immortal had descended.
The swan approaching from afar carried a surging, majestic aura, Heavenly River Water winding around her body like an enormous water sleeve as she drifted freely across the sky.
When she swooped down at Gong Qi, it was as though she brought the entire firmament crashing down with her, making pressure mount instinctively in one's heart.
Gong San's ears and eyes were sharp, so naturally, she heard Gong Qi's words.
Her smile was brazen as her voice spread through the sky. "The Sovereign knows your strength. This clan competition holds little challenge for you, and she did not want you to take the Phoenix Ancestor Lotus Platform so easily, so she sent me to test you."
"Isn't this cheating?"
What kind of rule was that?
As if she could read minds, Gong San said, "The rules are all set by the Sovereign. Whatever she says goes. How can that be called cheating?"
Gong Qi's heart trembled. "Are you sure the Sovereign sent you? Not that you did something..."
Gong Qi had originally wanted to say that Gong San had held a grudge against her for ages and was deliberately using this chance as an excuse for revenge.
But she was afraid of angering Gong San and provoking her into truly trying to kill her.
As expected of real sisters.
Though Gong Qi did not say it aloud, Gong San successfully guessed it—and thought even further.
A cold gleam surfaced
