Geng Xia… I cut off my ties with him, Kang Wu and Hu Yun. Geng Xia is no longer my friend, but he is different from Kang Wu and Hu Yun. There is no reason for me to be hostile to him.
Su Jun raised the corners of his lips, forming a slight smile, “Hello, junior brother Geng Xia. Have you already recovered?”
All the disciples surrounding the arena widened their eyes and gasped in shock as they didn’t expect Su Jun to act so friendly towards Geng Xia. They all from the rumours knew that Su Jun had a fight with Geng Xia and they they were all on the impression that the two were on bad terms.
Duan Xi furrowed her eyebrows,
A few weeks ago Su Jun wanted to beat up Geng Xia so badly, that he threatened him with expulsion from the sect. So why is he now acting so friendly towards him?
Geng Xia nodded, “Yes, senior brother Su Jun. Thank you for your concern and thank you for not expelling me from the sect, like Kang Wu. Senior brother Su Jun, why did you spare senior brother Hu Yun, but not Kang Wu?” He shook his head, “No, that doesn’t matter now. I want to ask something else. Something really important, do you know why did junior sister Yi Ya leave the sect?”
All the disciples surrounding the arena and Duan Xi tilted their heads in confusion and furrowed their eyebrows; only one thought went through their heads, ‘Who is Yi Ya?’
Su Jun widened his eyes in surprise, “Yi Ya left the sect?” he mumbled.
Geng Xia lowered his head, “So you don’t know either…”
She didn’t even tell neither senior brother Hu Yun or senior brother Su Jun…
Yi Ya left the sect?
Why did she do it? And when did she do it?.. Was it because of what I said to her…
Su Jun thought.
The elder moved his eyes to Su Jun and then to Geng Xia, “Are you two done with your chat? If you are, I am going to start the match.”
Su Jun and Geng Xia turned their heads to the elder.
Geng Xia shook his head, “That won’t be necessary, elder. I didn’t stand against a chance against Su Jun before and I don’t stand a chance against him now. I concede the fight.”
Su Jun turned his head to Geng Xia and raised the corner of his lip.
I was about to advise him to surrender the match. It seems I don’t have to do it anymore. Geng Xia is still rank 2 martial mortal. And I can fight against people with higher cultivation bases than I am. I may have killed or crippled him even if I held back my strength. It is good that he surrendered.
The elder nodded his head seriously, “Are you certain?”
All the disciples surrounding the arena frowned and few of them said.
“That’s disappointing, I wanted to see Su Jun’s strength,” a male disciple said.
“Yeah,” the second male disciple said.
“It was a waste of time coming to this arena,” the third male disciple said.
“We will get to see him in action later on,” the fourth male disciple said.
“I guess you are right,” the first male disciple said and all other disciples nodded their heads in agreement; they all started to disperse.
Geng Xia nodded his head, “Yes, elder. I want to concede.”
The elder nodded his head and loudly announced for Su Jun, Geng Xia, Duan Xi and the departing disciples to hear, “Su Jun is the winner of the qualifier match and he will move onto the main competition.”
The departing disciples stopped and they turned around shocked and a few of them shouted out and a few others mumbled.
“What?!! He won one match and he qualified for a normal competition?!” a male disciple shouted out.
“There are more than five hundred participating disciples and he needed to win a single fight to qualify?!” the second male disciple shouted out.
“What the hell?!” the third male disciple shouted out.
“I can’t believe it,” a female disciple mumbled.
“Why?!” the fourth male disciple shouted out.
Geng Xia blinked his eyes and then smiled, “I wish you luck, senior brother Su Jun.”
“Thank you, junior brother Geng Xia,” Su Jun said with a smile. Duan Xi moved her eyes to Geng Xia.
Geng Xia nodded, “Yeah,” he said, turned around and his eyes met with Duan Xi’s. He gulped down his saliva,
That’s the goddess... She is not someone I should even dream about. I will leave the sect and search for junior sister Yi Ya. I will woo her and take her as my wife.
He averted his eyes and left in the direction of the house area. Duan Xi moved her eyes to Su Jun
The elder turned his head to Su Jun and looked into his eyes and said in the voice that only Su Jun could hear “You are qualified into the main competition. The token you received will light up when the qualifiers are finished. Go to the first arena when that happens. You can leave, disciple Su Jun.”
Su Jun bowed his head respectfully, “Yes, elder.” He walked off the arena and walked up to Duan Xi.
The moment Su Jun reached her, Duan Xi opened her mouth, “Who is Yi Ya?” she said with slight annoyance and interest in her voice.
Su Jun nodded his head, “She is my childhood friend… and the reason why she left the sect, might be me…”
I don’t really care why she left the sect.
Duan Xi slightly tilted her head in confusion, “What do you mean? Why would she leave the sect because of you?”
Su Jun sighed and shook his head, “I told her that I would leave everything behind that can’t keep up with me. Those words may have been the reason why she left the sect.”
