Wen Bufan fiddled with the zither key again: ”Time has passed and water has passed!”

Wen Bufan's voice was cold and clear as it resonated throughout the entire land. The zither music was like a cry, transforming into a pool of water that slowly flowed in the air.

Time quietly passed in this lake. The killing intent also quietly faded away, and unknowingly, closed in.

”Awesome!” Xia Qingyue said before passing through this autumn water. Feeling that he had lost control of his body, his consciousness began to become a little blurry.

”Bastard!” This was the most unbearable torment for Xia Qingyue. Originally, he was a person who knew how to swim, but in this lakewater, he was enveloped by it. This lakewater looked clear and transparent to others, but the water surrounding Xia Qingyue, in his eyes, was completely dark.

Not only that, it was suffocating. There was not even a trace of air in the water.

He shouted loudly, wanting to rush out of the water, but he was like a person choking on water. The more he struggled, the more scared he became.

”I don't want this!” Xia Qingyue felt helpless, but it was the first time in his life that he felt fear towards the flow of life, ”I can't die, I definitely can't die like this. ”I'm still young, and I still have so much youth. I've never squandered much of it. I've been cultivating all this time.”

Even if he bit his finger to try to awaken his consciousness, it would be to no avail.

The next moment, he found himself powerless: ”Well, I lost. ”I admit it.”

After Xia Qingyue finished speaking, the water started to recede, and the water that was initially on top of his head turned into nothingness in an instant.

”We won, we won.” The Wen's Mansion disciples cheered in their hearts as they jumped in joy. But he didn't dare to act too arrogantly. Who knew if this cold faced young lord Xia would go back on his word?

”As expected of the second place on the Hero Rankings, I admit defeat!” Xia Qingyue said sincerely. This time, all of his pride was shattered in front of the real deal. He was no longer as arrogant as he was before.

”I've heard that Young Master Xia is adept at deducing things. Did you not deduce the amount we have to offer today?” Wen Bufan said with a smile.

”Cough, cough, you're right. I have indeed deduced it, but what's strange is that I was unable to deduce the result from the trigram. This is an anomaly.” Xia Qingyue mocked himself.

”Hur hur, then can we leave now?” Wen Bufan gazed at Xia Qingyue. Just as she was about to move her foot forward …

”Wait!” Xia Qingyue called out to her.

”May I ask what you have to say, Young Master Xia?” Wen Bufan tilted her head and looked at him.

”Don't misunderstand, it's best if you don't participate in Cang Du Competition.” Xia Qingyue said quietly with a red face.

”Why?” Wen Bufan looked at him in surprise.

”When you just walked out, I did a deduction for you. I'm afraid something unexpected might happen if you participate in the competition.” Xia Qingyue said seriously.

”Oh, so you want to stop me from participating in the competition because of me?” Wen Bufan said in shock.

”It can be said that I didn't mean it. I was asked by someone else to help me, but in the end …” Xia Qingyue blushed.

”Asked by someone? ”May I ask who entrusted you with this task?” Wen Bufan asked.

He thought that on the way to the inn, there were several times that they would automatically reserve rooms for them. If it wasn't for this person secretly helping them, they probably wouldn't have been able to reach this place so smoothly.

”Hahaha, with such a beautiful woman's intelligence, I don't believe you can't guess it.” Xia Qingyue said with a smile.

”Is it Sir Xia Fuhai? You are brothers? ” When Wen Bufan mentioned Xia Fu, she unconsciously blushed.

Binghe Lanling and Big Yellow could see what was happening, but their hearts felt as if they had been knocked on a wall, and their hearts felt a little sour.

”Ai, it's good to be rich and have authority!” He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

”Beauty, you are right. We are still brothers.” Xia Qingyue laughed and turned away.

If not for Brother Fuhai's consideration, I, Xia Qingyue, would chase after this woman. She is truly a peerless beauty in the world. Brothers and wives were not to be cheated.

Thank you for Young Master Xia's kind intentions. Wen Bufan cupped his hands towards him gratefully.

”Goodbye, remember, if possible, try your best not to participate in the competition. If you do, and meet Emperor Xia in person, please remember to cover your face, otherwise you will not be able to escape this calamity, remember this! Xia Qingyue said it all. Xia Qingyue turned his back and whispered into her ear.

”Thank you! Young Master Xia, please take care. ” Wen Bufan said with a sound transmission.

”Let's go!” After Xia Qingyue finished, he led his men and left.
