The Hidden Dangers of the Battle of Geniuses
The ninth floor of the building.
The first and second floors were for leisure, for entertaining guests, and for dining. The third to fifth floors were for bedrooms and secluded cultivation. They were for students participating in the Battle of Geniuses. The sixth floor and above were for training, as well as for post-match meetings and post-match reviews.
When Ye Zichen entered the building, Xue Mo and the others were sitting on chairs in the main hall, chatting.
However, only Anti-Upheaval's members were present. The other student societies weren't here. As for the accompanying teachers and Qiu Enhuai, they weren't there either.
"Brother Ye, you're back."
As soon as he entered, Li Hu and the others greeted him. Xue Mo walked up to him as well.
"I'm back."
Ye Zichen nodded, then sat down on a leather sofa across from Li Hu and the others. He picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of fragrant tea, and took a sip.
"It's already so late, yet you're still up? What are you doing here?"
"What do you think?" Xue Mo rolled her eyes in exasperation. "We were waiting for you, of course. There were so many of us, but you let that senior take you away. I don't know how you're doing, so we could only wait for you to come back."
"I'm so tired," snorted Xue Beibei lazily like a little kitten.
"What's there to worry about? Hu Bazi took me away, and the dean agreed. What else could he possibly do to me?"
Ye Zichen chuckled and shook his head. Xue Mo arched her brows.
"Hu Bazi? Isn't he one of Lady Providence's Divine Generals? If that's the case, then the people who came to pick us up are from the Profound Pavilion, not the God Emperor's Estate. Why are they looking for you? "
As the second daughter of the Sea of Innocence, Xue Mo didn't know all of the major powers and experts of the other Divine Mountains, but she'd heard about them from time to time.
When Hu Bazi was mentioned, Xue Mo knew he was from the Profound Pavilion.
The Profound Pavilion was in charge of justice and divination. It was hard for Xue Mo not to be surprised that they'd come looking for Ye Zichen.
In response, Ye Zichen merely smiled and said nothing.
When she saw his expression, Xue Mo knew he didn't want to say anything. She wasn't the type to get to the bottom of things. Ye Zichen didn't want to say anything, so she didn't pursue the matter. Xue Beibei, on the other hand, wrinkled her nose.
"Acting mysterious."
Ye Zichen merely chuckled in response. Xue Mo frowned at Xue Beibei, put her hand on her head, and shook her head.
"I almost forgot. We're here to tell you that the lot-drawing ceremony will be held tomorrow."
"So fast."
Ye Zichen couldn't help but knit his brows. "Have the other Divine Mountains all arrived? The Demon Clan and the Devil Clan had also come? The lot-drawing ceremony will be held tomorrow? "
"They're all here. Skyspan Academy is probably the last to arrive," said Xue Mo with a nod.
"Then why don't I sense any yao or demons at all?" asked Ye Zichen.
This time, Luo Zi pursed his lips into a smile and said, "Actually, we had the same doubts in the beginning, but not long ago, we asked the people from the Divine Martial Academy, and they said that the yao and demons don't stay with us. The academy has a separate area for them, and I heard that they've even set up restrictions around the area, so we can't sense their auras. "
No wonder.
Ye Zichen couldn't help but nod. Just now, when he'd entered the academy, he hadn't sensed any yao or demons' auras, so he'd assumed they hadn't arrived yet.
Now it seemed that the people in the Imperial Capital had made them stay in other places for the convenience of management, and then set up the restriction. They could say that it was to protect the clansmen of the Demon Clan and the Demon Clan, but in fact, it was to monitor their movements through the restriction.
Ye Zichen hadn't expected the Yao and Demon Realms to agree.
"That's not all. The battle between the Yao and Demon Realms will directly remove all restrictions on the Yao and Demon Realms. All they need to do is say they'll watch the competition, and they'll be able to come and go as they please. "
"I've more or less guessed that," said Xue Mo. "Also, I saw quite a few yao and demons in the capital."
"The dean told us that the Battle of Geniuses won't be as simple as we thought. I didn't really understand before, but now it seems it really isn't as simple as I thought. "
Xue Mo's gaze darkened. Combining this series of events, she naturally sensed that something wasn't right.
Besides, she'd experienced the yao and demons' invasion of the Northern Divine Mountain. She was even more vigilant than before.
Everyone else in the hall had grave expressions on their faces. Xue Beibei was the only one who didn't seem to care. Her head drooped, her hands covering her mouth as she yawned.
From the looks of it, she really was exhausted.
Ye Zichen took a deep breath, then crossed his arms over the tea table. Then he put his hands behind his back and smiled.
"We'll deal with soldiers with arms, and water with earth. Furthermore, this is the Divine Capital, the most fortified location among the Nine Divine Mountains. Even if the yao and demons really wanted to pull any tricks, with the God Emperor's presence, they'd have to think twice before doing anything. We're just here to participate in the Battle of Geniuses. The rest has nothing to do with us. Let the higher-ups deal with all that scheming and scheming. All we need to do is deal with the Battle of Geniuses. "
He glanced at the yawning Xue Beibei, then pressed his lips into a smile.
"Beibei, you're tired. Since the lot-drawing ceremony is tomorrow, you should all go back and get some rest. If the yao and demons are up to something, we'll have to wait until they do it. Then, we can come up with a countermeasure. "
The others nodded and left. In truth, Xue Mo wanted to talk more with Ye Zichen, but Beibei kept whining about going to bed. She had no choice but to take him back to his room.
Before long, Ye Zichen was the only one left in the main hall.
There were too many things that he had to think about in his mind, but he was too tired after the day, so he simply threw all of these things to the back of his mind and took out a Communication Jade Slip from his bosom.
This slip contained Liu Jing's contact information. Ye Zichen glanced at the sky, then hesitated for a moment before sending her a message.
"Hey."
After sending the message, Ye Zichen's heart thumped wildly.
He didn't know why, but he was indescribably nervous. However, a full hour passed, and he still hadn't received a reply.
Ye Zichen muttered like a deflated balloon.
"She should be asleep by now."
