"Ah?"
Ning Rongrong covered her head and shot Ye Qiu an aggrieved glare.
"Xiao Qiu, why isn't it true?"
Xiao Wu was utterly confused.
"Yeah, Brother. You were clearly right about how that fierce-looking sister reacted just now."
Xiao Lan licked the candied hawthorn in her hand, her glossy red lips glistening.
Hearing what Xiao Lan called her,
Huo Wu looked slightly embarrassed, but she still stared at Ye Qiu and snorted coldly.
"Tell me. Why would I withdraw from the competition?"
Ye Qiu gave a teasing smile and said casually:
"I'm guessing you've temporarily joined Godwind Academy, right?"
"You!"
Huo Wu stared at Ye Qiu in shock.
This was something she, Feng Xiaotian, and Shui Bing'er's group had discussed in private.
How could Ye Qiu possibly know?
"Could Shui Yue'er have told you?"
"Hm? Skywater Academy is competing too?"
Ye Qiu looked at Huo Wu in surprise, utterly baffled.
"You!"
Huo Wu's expression changed slightly, and anger rose in her face.
She had not expected Ye Qiu to have no idea that Skywater Academy had withdrawn as well.
Had she just spilled everything?
"The three academies joined forces?"
Zhu Zhuqing narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly. It seemed the pressure they had put on Huo Wu's group really had been considerable.
"Hmph! You'll find out sooner or later anyway. Ye Qiu, I'll be waiting to face you again in the arena!"
Huo Wu said no more. With a cold snort, she turned and left.
Ye Qiu shook his head helplessly.
Now that the three academies had joined forces, their combined lineup was indeed formidable.
With every member a Soul Ancestor, they were already considered a strong team.
The finals did not open with the grand spectacle everyone had imagined.
Everything was very simple.
