"Since you want to get first place, how many points do you have now?"
Yu Liu sat curiously on the white cloud, resting her chin on her hand, with a bright and happy smile on her face that was irresistible.
Xie Qiong pursed his lips, and after a long while, he uttered a slightly embarrassing number: "0".
This number really shocked Yu Liu. Xie Qiong was not weak, and even the other Zhu Ye was very strong. Logically speaking, if he had completed the mission well, his score should have been high, but he didn't have a single point.
"How come you have so few? I heard that points can be stolen. Did someone else steal your points?"
"……No."
"Then why didn't you get any points? You're so amazing!" Yu Liu frowned, looking at Xie Qiong with suspicion, and suddenly asked casually, "You didn't get any points, is it because Zhu Ye is causing trouble?"
“Yes…” Xie Qiong uttered a single word helplessly. After speaking, he suddenly sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere and turned to Yu Liu with some surprise, which caught the cunning look in her eyes.
"We've been through thick and thin together, so I'll ask you one question. Can you answer me honestly?" Yu Liu sat lazily on the white cloud, changed her posture to crossing her arms, and looked down at Xie Qiong with arrogance.
Xie Qiong suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, but he forced himself to say, "Okay, go ahead and ask!"
"This question is very simple. Are you Xie Qiong?"
Xie Qiong's face stiffened.
"I don't want to hear a negative answer, because it's very likely a lie!" Yu Liu sneered angrily. "I came here to find Xie Qiong. I didn't expect to be so lucky; the first person I met was Xie Qiong. But I'm also unlucky. After following you for so long, I finally found out your true identity!"
Sensing her anger, Xie Qiong stopped and stood quietly with his hands at his sides: "...I was careless."
These three words reignited Yu Liu's anger: "You just said you wanted to get first place. You heard what I said to Zhu Ye, right? I told you I was here to help Xie Qiong win first place. Why didn't you reveal your identity to me? And you even tried to drive me away. I'm not afraid to tell you, I have three tokens on me, one of which is the Azure Dragon Token. If you had just revealed your identity to me, you would have been first in no time. Did your brain suddenly go awry? If I hadn't suddenly realized what was going on, were you not planning to reveal your true identity?"
Yu Liu's words were merely a test. She suddenly remembered that earlier, during her conversation with Zhu Ye, Zhu Ye had said that he and Xie Qiong were enemies and didn't want Xie Qiong to win first place. He even went so far as to renege on his promise and demand the Xuanwu Token back from Yu Liu. Actually, Yu Liu was already somewhat puzzled at that time. Zhu Ye seemed very unwilling to let Xie Qiong win first place, so why didn't he rush to Xie Qiong's side and stop him?
After all, Xie Qiong is a master, and a very powerful one at that. He is a favorite to win the championship. If he is not distracted, it should be easy for him to take first place, right?
But Zhu Ye never seemed anxious or showed any hostility towards Xie Qiong, which made Yu Liu suspicious. So, she had a sudden inspiration and asked Xie Qiong if he wanted to win first place. When she learned that Xie Qiong only had zero points, Yu Liu became suspicious and asked if Zhu Ye had sabotaged his score. Xie Qiong's answer was yes.
Zhu Ye doesn't want Xie Qiong to win first place, so the person he's harassing must be Xie Qiong. So far, the only person he's harassed is the one in front of Yu Liu, so his identity is pretty obvious.
Faced with Yu Liu's questioning, Xie Qiong regained his composure and said, "This is between the two of us. The token on you was obtained by you, and I will not use it, so there is no need to say anything."
"In that case, aren't you afraid I'll give the token to someone else and ruin your first time?"
Yu Liu said in a huff.
"I just need to do my best."
These words infuriated Yu Liu so much that she felt like she was about to explode. She reached into her robes and pulled out the Xuanwu Token: "Since that's the case, then take this back. It wasn't mine, so I have no reason to keep it!"
Yu Liu held the token out to Xie Qiong, raising her hand high, as if to say, "If you don't take it, I'll keep holding it up."
Xie Qiong looked at the token and finally accepted it.
"Hey! That's more like it!"
He accepted the token, and Yu Liu was immediately delighted: "I really don't know what you're so fixated on..."
Before Yu Liu could finish speaking, a bad premonition suddenly rose in her mind, a dangerous intuition appeared, and she only had time to lie down before the broadsword slashed across her head, bringing with it gusts of air.
"Xie Qiong, what are you doing?"
Yu Liu was startled by the sudden attack. She raised her head and shouted at Xie Qiong, only to meet his cold eyes in an instant.
"You... are Zhu Ye?"
She was a little unsure.
"Hmph!" Zhu Ye didn't bother with any more words. He raised the hand holding the token and suddenly flung it into the distance. The token reflected light as it traced a perfect parabola before falling into an unknown distance.
"I told you, I have a grudge against Xie Qiong. It's true that I gave you the item, but you handed it over to my enemy. What a forgetful little girl!"
He gripped the long sword with both hands, and lightning began to flash.
"Hey, are you going to hit me again? Do you really think I'm a pushover?"
Yu Liu was already furious with Xie Qiong, and now that Zhu Ye had joined the fight, her anger burned even brighter.
In response to Yu Liu, a long blade slashed down again. Lightning crackled across the blade, clearly indicating that Zhu Ye was not holding back.
"Since you won't stop, then I'll teach you a lesson first!!" Yu Liu said in a harmless voice, then opened her palms and pushed forward.
The power of her wish gathered in her palm, forming two small vortexes. After Yu Liu quickly pushed it outward, a gust of wind swept through the surrounding ruins. Zhu Ye did not expect her attack to have this effect. Caught off guard, she was blown back several steps by the wind.
"watch out!!"
Yu Liu withdrew her outstretched hand, changed her gesture, and extended her right index finger, gently tapping it in the air.
A surge of energy condensed into a small white ball at her fingertips, which she then gently flicked away.
"boom--"
Upon landing, a violent explosion erupted around Zhu Ye, sending him flying almost instantly.
"Humph!"
Yu Liu snorted coldly, lightly touched the white clouds with her toes, and disappeared instantly, suddenly appearing on Zhu Ye who had flown away, her two feet landing right on his chest.
"Bam—"
The two landed together, and Yu Liu, using the momentum, slammed heavily into Zhu Ye's chest, instantly injuring him severely.
