Chapter 856: Chapter 856: Taking Advantage of the Goddess in Public

Early morning the next day.

Gu Yu left the agritainment facility with disciples of the Thief Sect, heading directly and secretly to the Land of the Far North. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Meanwhile, Liu Zixuan and the others proceeded as usual to the ravine where the martial arts tournament was to be held, picking up Zhao Yi from the neighboring city in the process.

Regarding last night’s events, Zhao Yi merely told them that he was tired and went straight to the hotel to rest. Everyone knew he was lying, but due to the plan, no one exposed him; instead, they playfully bantered for a while.

Actually, without Gu Yu’s Fortune Telling Skill, Liu Zixuan could also tell that Zhao Yi was hiding something from them; he is not someone who expresses himself well, nor is he good at lying.

Often, when people lie, they perform some subconscious actions, such as touching their nose or avoiding eye contact.

Since getting in the car, Zhao Yi had intentionally changed the subject and kept looking out of the window, which was very different from his usual behavior.

After the drive, nothing unpleasant happened along the way.

Upon reaching the ravine entrance, Liu Zixuan smiled and said, "The martial arts tournament is about to start, so everyone should prepare themselves, and we will reconvene here afterward."

"Just watch; my name will definitely be in the top ten!" Jiang Yunxuan boasted with a grin, then directly tugged Huzi towards the left side of the venue.

Zhao Yi grinned: "I’ll go and prepare too."

Watching Zhao Yi leave, Mo Chengfeng nodded to Liu Zixuan: "Brother Xuan, I’ve arranged quite a few disciples from the Thief Sect inside. If any emergency arises, I’ll bring the brothers to you as fast as I can."

"Stay safe," Liu Zixuan cautioned seriously.

Mo Chengfeng’s lips curled into a smile: "Rest assured, everyone knows that it’s better to offend a wise person than a foolish one. In front of those reputable sects, we outsiders are the foolish ones; they dare not provoke us easily. Otherwise, if the Thief Sect gets angry, they all might lose everything they have!"

Mo Chengfeng’s smile gave Liu Zixuan a very peculiar feeling.

Liu Zixuan smiled slightly and then headed towards the right side with Ye Lianyi.

Ye Lianyi chuckled softly with a meaningful smile: "I suddenly feel that if the Four Great Clans and Eight Great Powers really go against us, it would be their biggest mistake."

"Why do you say that?" Liu Zixuan asked.

"You’ll know later," Ye Lianyi said mysteriously.

However, before Liu Zixuan could probe further, a familiar figure suddenly approached from one side and blocked their path.

The appearance of this figure slightly surprised Liu Zixuan, as in his memory, he had seemingly no dealings with the person opposite!

"Miss Yafei, is there something you need by blocking our way?"

Indeed, blocking Liu Zixuan and Ye Lianyi’s path was the host of the martial arts tournament, the extremely terrifying Yafei!

Yafei swayed her enchanting figure, took two steps forward, and said with a seductive smile, "I’m here to congratulate Mr. Liu ahead of time."

"Congratulations?" Liu Zixuan furrowed his brows. "It seems that under the current circumstances, I don’t have any joyous occasions, where are the congratulations coming from?"

"With Mr. Liu’s skills, standing out in this martial arts tournament is a piece of cake. I think as long as you want, even winning the first place wouldn’t be a problem, right?" Yafei said, crossing her arms in front of her.

Liu Zixuan squinted his eyes: "The Star Sea Martial Artists are numerous, and there’s always someone better out there. I wouldn’t dare boast that I can take first place!"

"There are many experts, but none in the realm that threaten you are participating in the martial arts tournament."

Yafei continued with a fox-like smile hanging at the corner of her mouth, "The Four Great Clans and Eight Great Powers have merely sent their most talented disciples to participate, but their patriarchs and ancestors haven’t appeared. Based only on those young masters, they shouldn’t pose a threat to you."

"But what if I don’t wish to compete for first place?" Liu Zixuan retorted playfully.

Unexpectedly, Yafei wasn’t angered. She raised her hand and lifted Liu Zixuan’s chin.

That’s right, right in front of Ye Lianyi, she lifted the chin of her man with a seductive gesture, blatantly provoking Ye Lianyi.

Seeing Ye Lianyi’s complexion change dramatically, a hint of pride flashed in Yafei’s eyes. Leaning slightly, she whispered into Liu Zixuan’s ear, "But you must take first place, or else your beautiful master won’t survive!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zixuan’s eyes instantly turned sharp, and he asked hoarsely, "Are you from the Medical Immortal Sect?"

"I’m merely a messenger. Take first place first, and then I’ll tell you what to do next!"

As Yafei finished speaking and was about to leave, Liu Zixuan suddenly reached out and grabbed her waist, pulling her firmly into his embrace.

The previous actions were already quite ambiguous; this sudden hug left everyone around wide-eyed!

She was the goddess in their eyes, and Liu Zixuan was publicly taking advantage of her!

Not only were the others stunned, but even Yafei was startled, her expression turned furious: "Liu Zixuan, what are you doing!"

Liu Zixuan’s large hand on her waist slowly descended, and he suddenly slapped her shapely derrière.

Slap!

Suddenly, Yafei’s face turned extremely red, and that fiery sensation turned into a tingling feeling, spreading throughout her body.

Pushing Yafei away, Liu Zixuan joked, "Beauty, this is only part of the interest for threatening me, I’ll collect it all with principal and interest after it’s done!"

"You!"

"Your cute little backside’s elasticity isn’t bad, but compared to Little Ripple, it’s lacking a bit of excitement," Liu Zixuan interrupted Yafei, took Ye Lianyi’s hand, and walked away.

With a wave of his sleeve, he only took away a girl!

Watching his smug face, Yafei clenched her fist but then restored her charming smile and spoke softly, "I’d like to see how you’ll collect the principal and interest!"

"This martial arts tournament is becoming more and more interesting," Liu Zixuan muttered as he walked to the side.

Ye Lianyi frowned and asked, "Is she the messenger sent by the Medical Immortal Sect? What did she just say to you?"

"To win first place in the martial arts tournament," Liu Zixuan shrugged and laughed.

Ye Lianyi paused in silence, then asked, puzzled, "Just asking you to get first place? The Medical Immortal Sect wouldn’t do such meaningless things, right?"

Liu Zixuan shook his head, "That was just the first step. Yafei said just now, once I get first place, she will tell me what comes next. Honestly, I can’t figure out what the Medical Immortal Sect is up to."
