Chapter 410 - A Successful Draw or Not

Chapter 410: A Successful Draw or Not

The good person Valley Master really wanted to cry.
You could say that this little girl was cruel, yet she was such a soft, tiny thing and was more fair and adorable than anyone else.
If you said that she wasn’t serious! But she spoke more seriously than anyone else with that expressionless face of hers. Each of her sentences would sound quite serious when disassembled, but would be incredibly hilarious when strung together…
And that sentence, ‘I am the person who is about to beat you to death,’ really was totally comical.
“We still have to draw lots according to the competition’s rules, since this will be more fair to everyone.” Xixia Valley’s Valley Master gave out the pretext he had long thought of.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the little girl’s brows knit together in slight annoyance.
Xixia Valley’s Valley Master was inwardly distressed and hurriedly smiled amiably at the little girl. “However, you don’t have to be impatient, Little Miss. Even if you don’t draw Mu Liangde as your opponent for the first round, it doesn’t mean that you won’t be able to draw him for the subsequent rounds!”
Mu Liangde: … What was this? He kept feeling like the valley master’s words made it seem like he was a prize! A successful draw or not? With a successful draw, you’ll win the prize. Don’t be discouraged either if you’re not successful; hang in there and continue to draw!
She continued to ask good naturedly, “Then will the results be publicized? Will the name of the person who draws the number tile that will do battle with Mu Liangde be publicized?” The little girl seemed to be especially willing to reason things out today.
The valley master instantly felt like the little girl was really protecting his pride, and he nodded delightedly. “That’s right, that’s right! The list of all the contestants that will do battle with each other will be publicized the day before. At that time, I will let the valley’s disciples prepare it properly!”
“Okay!” Our dear Qiao Mu didn’t say anything more and sat down docilely.
Only the Three Sects and Five Factions’ disciples kept feeling that some kind of gloomy atmosphere was faintly encircling the top of their heads.
Something was amiss! The little girl’s actions today were a bit queer.
Shouldn’t she immediately start lashing out at Mu Liangde?
Why did they feel that it was so strange when she abruptly asked the valley master if whatever list would be publicized or not?
On the other hand, it was like Mu Liangde was unaware of his impending doom and smiled unaffectedly. He gathered his white robe and sat down with an upright posture. He sensed a gaze on him and followed it to meet Duan Yue’s eyes.
Mu Liangde naturally did not dare to slight the sect master’s eldest personal disciple and smiled with a nod at Duan Yue. However, he was completely puzzled by why the other party would send him a meaningful gaze.
Seeing that everyone was in preliminary agreement, the valley master’s tense mood finally improved slightly. He said to everyone with a chuckle, “Since we still need to wait two days, then everyone can feel free to do their own thing! You can go take a walk outside the valley if you would like, while those who want to engage in closed-door cultivation can make the most of this time.”
The valley master’s implication: it didn’t matter if you took a hike outside or closed your doors to cultivate, just please do not stir up trouble in Xixia Valley!
Everyone only pretended to not understand the valley master’s implication and all nodded with a smile before following their sect or faction back to their lodgings.
The valley master was greatly comforted that the Three Sects and Five Factions all closed their doors and did not go out during the following two days, choosing to rest in their courtyards instead.
The valley master’s nerves that had tensed up for a good two days finally relaxed slightly when Xixia Valley’s disciples brought back news that all was quiet each time after they sent over everyone’s meals.
That night, Ning Bihuan finally arrived at Xixia Valley with the team of 20 or so people she was leading.
Because everyone’s behavior had been extremely good the past few days, the valley master decided to treat everyone to a small feast out of his own pocket as a welcome reception for everyone.
When everyone went over, Ning Bihuan and her party had already arrived.
