The two chatted as they drank, and their friendship grew deeper.
Che Tong Tong was a smart person and she also guessed that those rumours would be unfavourable towards Yu Qing Qian, “How are you going to deal with those rumours? Recently, many rumours in the Red Peak are about to turn you into a god.”
“Doesn’t matter, the happier they are creating rumours now, the more they’ll regret it in the future.” Yu Qing Qian played with the wine cup carefreely.
Che Tong Tong reminded: “But now many of the Red Peak’s old pupils hold bad thoughts about you. They think that a new pupil like you is too ostentatious, be careful they unite against you in the challenge.”
“There are also advantages to being ostentatious. If they can really unite to deal with me, then I won’t have any problem with it either.” Yu Qing Qian hooked her lips up.
During the apocalypse, she had always been a high-profile person. She had occupied and integrated countless bases, and there were many people who disliked her or hated her to the core. In the end, didn’t they still end up in acquiescence. Strength determined everything.
What was more, in such a holy land of cultivation with many geniuses, the more prominent one was, she believed the more attention she would receive from the higher-ups of the Holy Academy, which would be the most beneficial to oneself.
“As long as you’re aware.” Che Tong Tong noticed that Yu Qing Qian understood and sighed in relief, “By the way, Leng Qiu Yu went out to complete a mission seven days ago and was besieged by a group of bandits and was robbed of a lot of things. She’s furious right now. The Leng Clan’s currently investigating this matter, wanting to clear out the bandits, but there’s no progress.”
Yu Qing Qian only found out about this now. She recalled what the Third Sword of the Seven Swordsmasters said before and couldn’t resist narrowing her eyes, “Was she being avenged by the pupils of the Academy?”
The Seven Swordsmasters all had nicknames. The handsome man in the brocade robe in the secret ground was the Third Sword, and the petite woman was the Seventh Sword.
Che Tong Tong nodded: “I think so too, but there’s no evidence. Leng Qiu Yu can only swallow her broken teeth.”
Yu Qing Qian was quite satisfied with the efficiency of the Seven Swordsmasters. It seemed that they could cooperate more in the future.
“What’s Xie Feng Zhi doing recently?”
“Nothing. That woman entered seclusion half a month ago, saying that she needed to be fully prepared to challenge the Green Peak’s challenges.” Che Tong Tong pouted, “But I wish her failure in passing the challenge.”
“Green Peak geniuses are as many as crucian carps crossing a river. The chance of her passing isn’t high.” Yu Qing Qian also revealed a gloating smile: “Of course, it’s best to fail, we can also go ‘beat up the drowning dog’.”
“I like that idea.” Che Tong Tong smiled heartily. She hadn’t done anything bad for a long time now.
Yu Qing Qian asked after thinking about it: “Are you participating in the Red Peak’s challenge this time?”
The challenges of the Seven Peaks of the Holy Academy were separate. The Red Peak was the earliest, followed by the Yellow Peak, and last the Purple Peak. This made it easier for the pupils, superiors and Elders of the Holy Academy to watch.
“I will, but I don’t think I have a chance. I’m just looking for experience and try to pass it next time.” Che Tong Tong sighed: “The competition in the Holy Academy is too strong, I’m under a mountain of pressure.”
Among the Seven Great Clans on the Central Continent, she was considered a proud daughter of Heaven with extraordinary talents. However, after entering the Holy Academy, she was quickly submerged in the group of geniuses. It wasn’t easy to stand out.
New pupils like Yu Qing Qian who made a lot of noise as soon as they entered the Holy Academy simply couldn’t be more powerful. Che Tong Tong and the new pupils admired her very much.
Of course, there were also pupils who were envious, jealous, and hateful, hoping that Yu Qing Qian would make a fool of herself during the challenge.
“Maybe you can break out and become the dark horse, who knows until the end.” Yu Qing Qian encouraged with a smile.
Che Tong Tong nodded and winked: “I will try my best, but I’m still more optimistic about you. I have a bet with many people that you’ll pass the challenge, you can’t let me lose, otherwise I’ll suffer heavy losses.”
“…” Yu Qing Qian smiled in spite of herself and said jokingly: “I’ll try my best, but if you win, you can’t miss my share. You have to at least take care of the good wine.”
“Then that’s settled.” Che Tong Tong’s eyes sparked, as if she had already seen many bets beckoning her.
