"We don't know either."
Situ Tingting gently shook her head:
"After all, there are too many people coming. In a place like the United States, there are usually quite a few people from the Hidden World gathered, not to ntion how many hidden people have been drawn in by the news those guys released these past two days."
Yang Yan couldn't help but squint his eyes and mutter softly:
"This is quite interesting. Aren't those guys afraid of angering the Arbitration Committee by doing this?"
"Those old folks just issued an order for the people of the Hidden World to withdraw from the present world! What a big risk they're taking!"
Situ Tingting gave a wry smile:
"That's sothing they've already considered. The competition location is on an uninhabited island on the border of the United States."
"And around the island, a barrier has been set up by those who are proficient in Space Law, so it won't affect the present world."
Yang Yan raised an eyebrow and said disdainfully:
"So they say it won't affect, and it won't? If that's the case, why don't those guys just go to the Hidden World to fight? If they fought in the Hidden World, they wouldn't have to worry about these things!"
Hearing Yang Yan's words, Situ Tingting looked at him in surprise.
That look was as if she was looking at an alien.
"You really don't know about this?"
Yang Yan frowned and retorted:
"Know about what? Are you saying there's sothing else going on here?"
Speaking of which, Xiaocao was basically in charge of these things.
And he did tell Xiaocao not to bother him unless it's sothing particularly important.
After all, if I want Red Dust Heart Refining, I need to stay away from the Hidden World stuff.
Situ Tingting explained:
"Whether it's the Innate Eight Trigrams Diagram or the Lance of Longinus, or sothing else, none of these can be brought into the Hidden World."
"Because once they enter, they'll disappear without a trace, only to reappear sowhere in the present world."
Yang Yan furrowed his brow and murmured to himself:
"Oh? There really is such a thing?"
The Luoshu has always been carried on the back of that Black Tortoise guy, and Yang Yan had never taken it into the Hidden World, so he wasn't aware of this rule.
"I told you you're becoming a hermit, and you didn't believe . Now what, got nothing to say, huh!"
"To be honest with you, there have been quite a few incidents in the Hidden World these past two years."
"Especially here in the United States. Nearly every day, so person from the Hidden World is killed."
Situ Tingting spoke with a serious expression, as if intentionally warning Yang Yan.
"That's not surprising, as the Hidden World isn't exactly a nice place for everyone."
Yang Yan understood what she ant, but he seed indifferent.
Situ Tingting frowned and said:
"But the frequency is too high! How many strong people does the Hidden World have?"
"There are deaths here every day. Sotis it's not just one or two. How many strong people can the Hidden World afford to lose?"
Hearing her say this, Yang Yan also realized the situation.
He frowned and asked:
"You an, all those who died were strong warriors?"
Situ Tingting nodded and said seriously:
"Yes! At least A-level and above. Even so SS-level individuals have died."
"Now that's interesting."
Yang Yan squinted his eyes again and muttered softly.
He hadn't been aware of these things because he never paid attention to them.
Since Xiaocao didn't remind him proactively, it was evident that he believed Yang Yan could handle it on his own.
"Alright, let's not talk about this while eating; it might spoil my appetite."
Situ Tingting laughed, effectively bringing an end to the topic.
The beef shank atballs lived up to their na. One bite, and your mouth is filled with broth.
Situ Tingting might have been in a rush to eat, as so broth dripped from the corner of her mouth...
Surprisingly, the taste was quite authentic.
"This is pretty good. Can you pack so to take away? Also, do you deliver here?"
After trying so, Yang Yan was quite impressed and couldn't help but loudly ask the owner.
"We do, we do!"
The owner replied with a warm smile, saying hurriedly:
"But for now, we only deliver around Queens. Any further, and we just can't manage. It's simply too busy."
As they say, it's better to have one person eat a thousand tis than a thousand people eat once. That's just how it is.
Seeing how much Yang Yan liked his food, the owner generously added a lot of extra beef atballs in Yang Yan's order.
After finishing the al, and having ordered quite a bit of takeaway for Zhou Hanyun and the others, Yang Yan and Situ Tingting returned to the clinic.
After all, Situ Tingting's injuries hadn't fully healed, and being treated at the clinic, without interruptions, would speed up the progress quite a bit.
"Do I really have to take everything off?"
Back at the clinic, Situ Tingting hesitated, looking at Yang Yan, and asked as they prepared to start the treatnt.
"Obviously!"
Yang Yan exaggeratedly rolled his eyes, saying in a bad mood:
"You know what happens to your body after I perform acupuncture, so why even ask?"
"Of course, if you don't mind having no clothes to wear afterward, I won't stop you."
"But let's agree on one thing! I'm certainly not going to run out to buy clothes for you!"
Situ Tingting blushed and, with a shy face, said:
"But... I'm still an unmarried girl! You're going to see my whole body, what am I supposed to do afterward?"
Yang Yan scoffed, giving a cold laugh:
"What do you want to do? You expect to take responsibility? Keep dreaming!"
Upon hearing Yang Yan's words, Situ Tingting exploded in anger.
She roared furiously:
"Hey! What do you an by that? What's this about dreaming? Am I so terrible that you can't even look at ?"
No wonder Situ Tingting was so worked up.
As a young maiden, having him see everything and not demanding responsibility was gracious enough. Yet, he showed such disdain—what's the deal with that look?
"Heh, enough with the nonsense; I'm not interested in won from the Situ Family!"
"Are you going to take it off or not? If not, I'll do the acupuncture like this."
"But I'll tell you in advance, this session won't be short. You might wake up with those Heaven and Earth Society guys waiting outside."
"If you end up without a stitch on, don't expect to find clothes for you! My clothes are off-limits to people from the Situ Family."
"Asking to buy clothes for you? Forget it."
Yang Yan sneered as he reminded her.
"You..."
Situ Tingting found herself, once again, lost for words under his infuriating remarks.
