Xiang Lan'er paid no mind whatsoever to that bullshit threat at the end. What intrigued her was how this fellow kept talking about taking first place. She probed, "You've seen the people I have. They're only fit for running errands and odd jobs. Taking first place with them? That joke isn't funny at all."
Shi Chun said, "I'm not joking, and I'm not asking them to fight and kill. Each sect can only send in five people. Surely your people didn't all come in from the same continent?"
How could they take first place without fighting? Xiang Lan'er thought for a moment, then asked doubtfully, "What difference does it make if they're from different continents?"
Shi Chun said, "I don't know exactly how many people you have. Just have them find ways to return to their respective continents' groups. I don't need them to fight and kill, only to find out the current situation of each continent's main force."
Xiang Lan'er blinked slightly. "That's all? You can't take first place that way. In the end, there'll still have to be fighting and killing. Do you have another force?"
Shi Chun nodded. "That's right. My people will handle the fighting and killing. Yours only need to gather the information I mentioned."
"Heh heh heh heh." Wu Jinliang laughed like a mountain bandit.
Xiang Lan'er silently sucked in a breath of cold air. She had thought these two were joking, but they were actually serious. How many people would they have to plant here to take first place?
Whatever else might be uncertain, at least one thing was now confirmed: these two really did have a faction behind them. They had hidden it deeply enough to nearly fool her.
She pressed, "Why do you want first place? Surely you aren't after that
