"Huh?" Cheng Tian was very surprised, but he obediently walked inside. Miyamoto Sanya followed close behind, and once the two had entered, the hidden door closed again.
"Hmm?" Everyone in the room beyond the wall turned to look as Miyamoto Sanya led Cheng Tian out. A woman frowned in displeasure.
"Sanya, the hidden door is reserved for insiders."
"I understand." Miyamoto Sanya sounded somewhat apologetic. She had brought Cheng Tian in this way to build a good relationship with him so she could ask about the girl who had been with him.
Cheng Tian did not know what they were saying, but he could tell that Miyamoto Sanya had let him in through the back door.
Although he did not know why she had done it, he still owed her his thanks.
Everyone seemed to be here. They were all much older than Miyamoto Sanya, both men and women, but Cheng Tian immediately spotted the woman in a black qipao smiling at him.
"Honestly, there's still some time before we open," said the woman who had just spoken to Miyamoto Sanya.
"There really are a lot of challengers outside," a man said impatiently.
Just then, Misugi Shii stood up and walked toward Cheng Tian with an alluring smile.
"We meet again, young man," Misugi Shii greeted him. "What brings you here?"
"Uh..." Cheng Tian scratched his head awkwardly. It looked like she was the one in charge. Nalu seemed to be on pretty bad terms with her, and he had come to challenge her Gym this time, which more or less amounted to coming to slap her in the face.
"Well, I'm here to challenge the Gym." Cheng Tian smiled a little sheepishly. "It looks like you're not open yet? Should I wait outside?"
"Oh?" Misugi Shii raised an eyebrow.
