Just then, Little Fish's bedroom door opened.
The pretty young woman emerged from her room, pouting.
Qin Feng frowned slightly.
Had she been eliminated?
"Qin Feng, that look on your wife's face... don't tell me?"

"No way. Little Fish is pretty strong. She shouldn't have been knocked out in the first round!"
"It's not impossible. What if she ran into a really strong opponent?"

He pulled it out and saw a WeChat message from Bai Xiyue.
