A choice, Xiao Xiao: Is everyone asleep?

Xu Jiujiu, she understood and blushed, but she did not refuse. Instead, she responded in a barely audible voice and nodded.

"Um..."

She already had a slight liking for Gu Yunxiao, and under Xu Jiawei's urging, this liking naturally spread in her heart.

Moreover, Gu Yunxiao's excellence also contributed to the development of this positive impression.

Seeing Xu Jiujiu's expression, Xu Jiawei smiled slightly; at least it wasn't all bad news.

He intended to bring them together, and his own younger sister also liked them, so it just so happened that they ended up together.

I hope everything goes well.

Xu Jiawei looked at the darkness outside the hall and sighed inwardly.

He wouldn't have made such a decision if he hadn't truly had no other choice. After all, having already enjoyed the feeling of being above everyone else, no one wants to be inferior.

He was willing to gamble the entire Star Luo Empire if the odds of winning were even slightly higher.

Unfortunately, the chances of winning are too slim.

The Dragon God Hall has too many powerful figures. They could choose not to confront the Empire head-on, but instead bypass the army and slaughter the Empire's leadership from top to bottom.

At that point, will the outcome of the match still matter?

They're all dead, what good are they!

Several days later.

The Round-Robin Tournament continued to be fiercely contested, with all Team putting on impressive performances and occasionally a few dark horses emerging.

Of course, the Dragon God Team remains the strongest dark horse.

It's worth mentioning that Shrek Team's support arrived, and they were able to register midway through the Round-Robin Tournament thanks to their 'Academy Privilege'.

Moreover, Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochеn, and Xi Xi have recovered from their injuries, so the team is now complete.

For a time, the Shrek Team shone brightly in the Round-Robin Tournament, and their popularity gradually surpassed that of the Dragon God Team.

Secondly, there's the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy Team, who, as always, performed with remarkable consistency.

This year's tournament favorites are the Dragon God Team, the Shrek Team, and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy Team.

"The Round-Robin Tournament is about to end. With our Team's points, even if we give up the last match, we can still advance as the second-place team in our group."

"For this last match, the seven of you will play; I won't."

In the Hotel suite, Gu Yunxiao smiled at the group of women.

"Um."

The seven nodded, smiles appearing on their faces.

After these Round-Robin Tournament, they all gained something. Although their Soul Power Level didn't increase, they accumulated a lot of combat experience.

They witnessed various Martial Soul and Soul Skill, and learned many ways to deal with them.

Compared to the reserve teams of other Team, their growth is more readily apparent.

"Alright, go and rest." Gu Yunxiao waved his hand and was about to get up when he noticed that all seven of them were staring straight at him.

Jiang Nannan and the others are one thing, but what's with Tang Ya?

It seems he didn't have time to do anything, did he?

"There's a competition tomorrow, so save some energy for yourselves." Gu Yunxiao said calmly, his gaze lingering briefly on Jiang Nannan and the others.

Watching Gu Yunxiao leave, the seven people exchanged glances, all blushing slightly.

Xiao Xiao, Wang Dong'er, and Tang Ya couldn't help but look at Jiang Nannan and the other three with some envy, recalling the scenes from the past few days.

Jiang Nannan was fine being stared at by the three of them; she was already used to it.

Nan Qiuqiu gradually accepted it, though she was still a little shy.

Only Wu Feng and Ning Tian kept their heads down, not daring to speak. Their brows had lost much of their youthful immaturity, and they now appeared somewhat mature.

Yes, during the Round-Robin Tournament a few days ago, when it was their turn to rest, Gu Yunxiao took advantage of them completely.

"Cough cough."

Jiang Nannan coughed lightly, adopting a bossy demeanor, and said, "It's getting late, everyone should rest. We can talk about anything else later; there's still plenty of time."

Everyone nodded and got up to leave.

"Sister Nannan, are you still sharing a room with Yunxiao?"

Xiao Xiao suddenly thought of something and turned around to ask.

Upon hearing this, the others were also taken aback, instinctively turning around to stare at Jiang Nannan with suspicious expressions.

Jiang Nannan: "..."

Oops, I've been exposed.

Xiao Xiao is such a clueless girl.

"... No, I sleep with Qiuqiu and Xiaoya." Jiang Nannan's eyes darted around, her face slightly flushed, giving off a 'very serious' look.

However, all the women could see it.

Jiang Nannan's little secret was exposed by Xiao Xiao.

"Oh no, will Sister Nannan make things difficult for me in the future?" Xiao Xiao was startled, and a bitter feeling welled up inside her.

"Xiao Xiao, get some rest." Jiang Nannan gave Xiao Xiao a smile, then went into the room with Nan Qiuqiu and Tang Ya.

"..."

Looking at Jiang Nannan's harmless smile, Xiao Xiao felt inexplicably uneasy.

With these thoughts in mind, Xiao Xiao nervously followed Wang Dong'er into the room, lay on the bed, and couldn't fall asleep no matter what she did.

for a long time.

"Dong'er, are you asleep?" Xiao Xiao asked softly.

However, there was silence; there was no response.

This made it even harder for Xiao Xiao to sleep.

"Or..."

Xiao Xiao thought for a moment, and a bold idea suddenly popped into her head. "Should we eat Yunxiao when no one is paying attention?"

Thinking of this, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but swallow.

Gu Yunxiao already said that winning or losing tomorrow's match doesn't matter, so whether she's one more or one less, it doesn't really matter, right?

Furthermore, given Gu Yunxiao's stamina, even if he fought for several days and nights, he could still maintain ample energy for the next battle.

So... take action?

Xiao Xiao was still hesitant, but her body obediently got out of bed, moving quietly so as not to disturb the sleeping Wang Dong'er.

Like a greedy little cat stealing some cream, she slowly walked to the door, opened it very gently, slipped out through the crack in the door thanks to her petite body, and then quietly closed it again.

The living room was dimly lit.

"Is everyone asleep?"

Xiao Xiao looked around, and her eyes lit up.

Without turning on the light, she groped her way to Gu Yunxiao's bedroom in the dark, tried to open the door, and found that the lock was unlocked.

Xiao Xiao was overjoyed. Just like before, she quietly opened the door, slipped inside, and then closed it.

"Phew~"

Xiao Xiao looked at the closed door and was about to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Staying up in the Midnight like a kitten stealing cream, what are you planning to do?"

Suddenly, Gu Yunxiao's voice came from behind Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao was startled and instinctively turned around to look. She saw a tall figure standing in front of her, whose purple eyes were deeper than the darkness.

Based on a glimpse of light and shadow, and a familiar aura, Xiao Xiao immediately recognized the person in front of her as Gu Yunxiao.

"Ah? Yun... Yunxiao?"

Xiao Xiao feigned surprise and confusion, waving her hands repeatedly, saying, "I... I didn't know this was your room, I came to the wrong place..."

Gu Yunxiao: "..."

Little girl, your story is so fake.

It's less credible than the phrase "just rub against it without going in".

Okay, I'll just peek through the door, I won't go in. I absolutely have no improper thoughts. Anyone who's thinking dirty ideas, go stand outside as punishment and listen up!

"If you've gone to the wrong door, then hurry back," Gu Yunxiao said with a smile.
