Ma Zhao was originally determined to bribe so of the miscellaneous servants from the Outer Sect, so that as soon as the level-playing competition started, they would besiege Ye Lingyue and Huang Jun together, eliminating them in the first round.
He thought Feiyue would agree with him, but unexpectedly, she raised an objection at this mont.
"No, Senior Brother Ma, I actually think that we should let Ye Lingyue and her companion enter the second round, and ideally, let them reach the third round."
Hong Mingyue, listening on the side, said with a smile.
"Junior Sister Feiyue, what do you an by this? Do you want to help that Ye Lingyue enter the top ten?"
Ma Zhao said unhappily.
He was from Xuefeng, and since Ye Lingyue had humiliated his master and also had a grudge against him, he naturally didn’t want Feiyue helping Ye Lingyue.
"What are you thinking? I just believe that being eliminated in the first round might only an minor injuries. But if we let them advance further and then defeat them, especially when they are just a step away from the top ten, letting them taste the agony of falling from a high place and getting utterly shattered would be much more satisfying."
Feiyue finished speaking and whispered sothing in Ma Zhao’s ear.
Ma Zhao was first stunned, but then burst out laughing.
"Junior Sister Feiyue, you truly are clever, you’re absolutely right. For those ant-like resilient servants, an ordinary punishnt isn’t enough. Simply driving them out of the Lonely Moon Sea is too lenient; it would be perfect if we could kill them in the competition or at least seriously injure them."
"Right, if you trust , Senior Brother Ma, leave this matter to . I assure you that the final outco for Ye Lingyue and that servant called Huang Jun will be extrely tragic."
A vicious glint flickered in Hong Mingyue’s eyes.
She had been awaiting this day for too long.
After the servant turmoil, the sect competition finally comnced.
This ti, due to various reasons, this sect competition later beca one of the most significant competitions in the history of the Lonely Moon Sea.
It was Ye Lingyue’s first ti participating in the sect competition, and she knew nothing about it. Fortunately, Manager Xiong collected a lot of materials from past sect competitions for Ye Lingyue and Huang Jun to quickly catch up.
From this, Ye Lingyue learned that the sect competition spans three days.
The first day is called the sa-level competition, which is a chaotic fight among contenders of the sa level.
During the sa-level competition, servants fight servants, Outer Sect Disciples fight Outer Sect Disciples, and Inner Sect Disciples fight Inner Sect Disciples.
The top fifty winners from the sa-level competition can advance to the second round, the level-crossing competition.
When the level-crossing competition starts, there will no longer be distinctions between Inner and Outer Sect or servants; it becos a drawing of lots for group matches. The top three from each group advance to the final round, the top ten competition.
The day before the competition began, a temporary stage was set up at the Outer Sect’s training ground in the Lonely Moon Sea.
Early that morning, Ye Lingyue had just arrived at the Refining Hall when Huang Jun dragged her to the training ground.
"Huang Jun, why are you in such a rush?"
Ye Lingyue was puzzled. The competition didn’t start until noon, and it was only morning, so Huang Jun was overly eager.
"If we go late, we won’t even have a place to stand."
Huang Jun pulled Ye Lingyue along with several servants from the Refining Hall and hurried to the training ground.
When Ye Lingyue arrived at the training ground, she understood why Huang Jun was so anxious.
It turned out the entire training ground was already a sea of people, with heads moving everywhere.
Those who ca to compete, and those who ca to watch, surrounded the stage completely, making it extrely difficult for Ye Lingyue and the others to grab a good spot to watch.
Fortunately, recently, due to Ye Lingyue taking on Hua Feng’s business, the Refining Hall had accumulated so Spirit Stones.
Manager Xiong had conveniently given everyone a few days off to cheer for Ye Lingyue and Huang Jun.
With the power of numbers, the dozen or so tall and sturdy servants from the Refining Hall together managed to squeeze close to the stage.
As they were about to find a place to wait for the competition to start, one of the male servants standing on the outside was suddenly pushed, falling to the ground.
"Look at your status; is this the place where you can stand?"
It was then that Master Tan Yi walked over, surrounded by several disciples from the Elixir Cauldron.
Seeing Master Tan Yi personally leading the group, the crowd parted a bit.
"Servants should go to where servants should be." Master Tan Yi glanced at Ye Lingyue and the others.
Especially seeing Ye Lingyue’s increasingly beautiful face from the past two years, Master Tan Yi felt his right hand’s severed fingers ache faintly.
As soon as Master Tan Yi finished speaking, a sudden kick landed on his backside, catching him unawares, and he ended up sprawled on the ground.
"Who! Who dares kick , the true master."
"It was , your little master. Wherever you’re from, go back there. Barking and yelping everywhere — people who don’t know might think, what stray dog is kept in our Lonely Moon Sea."
Master Tan Yi’s face changed drastically when he saw the person clearly.
It was Little Di Shen, accompanied by several senior brothers and sisters, who approached.
Though Master Tan Yi had so face in the Outer Sect, he dared not provoke anyone from the Inner Sect, especially since the other party was a disciple of Master Wuya, the Sect Leader.
At this ti, Ma Zhao from Xuefeng, Xue Xuan, and Feiyue from Moon Peak also arrived together.
Ordinarily, Master Tan Yi was attached to Xuefeng, so seeing Ma Zhao and the others, Master Tan Yi imdiately saw them as his support, quickly got up, and approached them.
"Junior Brother Di Shen, those words of yours aren’t right. No matter what, Master Tan Yi is a manager in the Outer Sect. How can you speak so disrespectfully?" Ma Zhao frowned, clearly displeased with Little Di Shen’s actions.
"Xiao Liu, as they say, you must look at the owner before beating the dog. Now that the dog’s owner is here, let’s not argue."
Qin Xiaochuan forced out a dry laugh.
This infuriated Master Tan Yi, but he dared not get angry.
"Alright, senior brothers, the competition is about to start. Let’s not harm our harmony."
Seeing this, Hong Mingyue glanced at Ye Lingyue and smiled secretly, thinking, Ye Lingyue, I’d like to see how long your little man can protect you. On the stage, I want to see whether you have the skills to stay.
Ye Lingyue exchanged a knowing glance with Little Wuya behind Xue Xuan.
With the appearance of the female disciples from Moon Peak, the crowd erupted in whispers, especially the male disciples from both the Outer and Inner Sect, who were stunned by the graceful and charming Feiyue.
Ma Zhao took pride in seeing those n seemingly gluing their eyes to Feiyue, thinking to himself that she indeed was the woman he favored.
Upon witnessing this, Xue Xuan scanned the crowd, her face only easing slightly upon seeing several female disciples sharing the sa resentful look as hers. She glanced secretly at Hong Mingyue, also looking forward to the competition starting soon.
