After He Pingsheng stepped onto the platform, Patriarch Zhenyu let out a deep sigh.
In truth, he did not trust He Pingsheng all that much.
And he had every opportunity to refuse his request.
After all, he was the team leader.
As long as he refused the rematch, this bout with the Qi Kingdom could not take place.
But he had not done so.
Why?
It was simple. If He Pingsheng really had colluded with the other side, what good would stopping his rematch with Xiao Xuan do?
After Xiao Xuan, the Qi Kingdom still had nine more contestants!
As long as He Pingsheng deliberately lost one of the later bouts, the Qi Kingdom would win.
So there was no need!
Rather than offend He Pingsheng, he might as well be gracious about it.
"He Pingsheng went to the Qi Kingdom's Other Courtyard yesterday. There must have been some shady deal!" Liang Huaqiu's face was full of anger.
Zhenyu shook his head. "Not necessarily!"
"Let's wait and see!"
On the fighting stage!
Inside the small world.
It was the same valley.
To his surprise, He Pingsheng discovered that all the damage their battle had done to the valley yesterday had been completely repaired.
This...
That was possible?
After briefly surveying the world, He Pingsheng turned his gaze back to Xiao Xuan.
Xiao Xuan had none of yesterday's idle chatter, nor any of yesterday's arrogance.
He knew perfectly well that he was no match for He Pingsheng. The only reason he stood here again today was that Lord Long Yuan had told him He Pingsheng would definitely let him win.
He did not like victories handed to him like this.
He even despised them.
But he had no choice.
For the Qi Kingdom's victory, he could only accept this humiliation.
