"I say, Yang Chen, you should join Cloud Tiger Peak. Heh heh, come with us brothers—we can look out for each other!" Lin Hao grinned broadly.
"Hmph, you two certainly have it all planned out. If Yang Chen really joins your Cloud Tiger Peak, wouldn't your arrogance soar even higher?" Su Yao appeared at some point, giving a delicate snort as she scolded them.
Wei Zheng and Lin Hao looked thoroughly embarrassed. "Senior Sister, didn't you teach us a lesson last year? This year, it should be Cloud Tiger Peak's turn to take first place, shouldn't it?"
"Which peak Yang Chen chooses is his own business. Don't spout nonsense, praising yourselves while belittling others. If the seniors hear you, you'll suffer for it." Su Yao rebuked them.
Wei Zheng and Lin Hao were so frightened that their faces turned bitter.

Lin Hao and Wei Zheng saw this
