Cowardly Turtle
"Don't talk nonsense. My big brother is not avoiding the battle. He's just in seclusion and doesn't know that the ranking battle has already begun."
Hearing these people's curses, Xia Jun and Little Fatty immediately retaliated and defended Ye Fei. However, there were only two of them.
Since the news of Ye Fei flattening the Holy Court had spread, many Earth stage disciples were very unhappy with Ye Fei. A few of the top ten Earth stage disciples even publicly announced that they would teach Ye Fei a lesson in this ranking battle. They would let this Heaven Abandoned Trash know the immensity of heaven and earth.
At this moment, they were obviously making a fuss about Ye Fei being late. Angry curses and sarcastic remarks were everywhere. Not only did no one believe Xia Jun's words, many of them even cursed more and more harshly.
"What? He's in seclusion and lost track of time? Can you please find a better excuse?"
"Keep making up stories. Don't think that we don't know that Ye Fei deliberately avoided the battle because he was afraid that his undefeated legend would be broken."
"Pfft, what legend? I think that's just bullshit! What Heaven Leaderboard's number one? He's so scared that he doesn't even dare to show his face when he meets our Senior Brother Zhou. "
"Cowardly as a mouse, cowardly turtle! Heaven Abandoned Trash, true to his name! "
...
In the end, Xia Jun and Little Fatty were still unable to convince the hundreds of people present. No matter how they explained, no one would believe them. Shangluo was also very angry. "Don't talk to them anymore. If you want them to shut up, just get Ye Fei here. I'll go back now and drag him out of the cave abode."
"Shangluo, this won't do. If you leave, what if it's your turn to participate in the ranking battle?" Xia Jun was more rational. However, Shang Luo said angrily, "Why not? This fairy has opened a bet and bet heavily on him. I bet that he will enter the top three. When I do business, I have never lost money!"
"What? Business?"
Xia Jun and the chubby boy were both stunned. They finally understood why Shangluo was so anxious about Ye Fei not participating in the match. After all this time, it turned out that the person behind the scenes who was betting on the ranking match was right in front of them.
Xia Jun was not the only one who was speechless. Even Zhou Xiaoyu, who was standing not far away, was speechless. However, she was the one who invited Ye Fei to join the Saint Academy. If Ye Fei became known as a coward, her prestige would be damaged.
"Forget it. You guys stay here. I'll go over and see what's going on with Ye Fei." After Zhou Xiaoyu finished speaking, she left the Martial Arts Practice Field and rushed towards Ye Fei's Spirit Mountain. Her speed was very fast. By the time Xia Jun reacted, it was already too late to stop her.
Xia Jun immediately pulled a long face and slapped himself in the face. "It's over. Why did I say that Big Brother is in closed-door training... I have a feeling that if Instructor Zhou goes up the mountain, there will be a big problem."
After all, Xia Jun had been following Ye Fei for the longest time. He was no longer a martial arts rookie. He was very smart and alert.
In particular, Ye Fei came back in a hurry. He didn't even care about the ranking match and immediately went into closed-door training. This made Xia Jun vaguely feel that the situation was very serious.
"No, I have to inform Big Brother about this. Chubby, quickly send a message to Big Brother. I'll think of a way to delay Instructor Zhou on the way." After saying this, Xia Jun hurriedly chased after Zhou Xiaoyu. The chubby boy immediately took out a Voice-transmitting Charm and sent a message to Ye Fei and Gua Wang at the same time, explaining the situation.
Fortunately, Xia Jun was alert enough to think of this. Otherwise, when Zhou Xiaoyu went up the spiritual mountain and found Gua Wang in the cave residence while Ye Fei took Gua Wang out of the Saint Academy at the same time, the Saint Academy would immediately notice the problem.
The time that Xia Jun bought for Zhou Xiaoyu was very precious.
However, Ye Fei didn't know that there were already uninvited guests who wanted to enter his mountain to look for his whereabouts.
According to the place that he and Fa Yihai had agreed on, Ye Fei took the Corpse Official that had turned into Gua Wang and walked towards the exit of the Saint Academy unhurriedly.
Ye Fei also completely forgot that today was the day of the ranking match. However, at the entrance, the instructor in charge of the inspection didn't forget. After checking Gua Wang's identity, the instructor was about to let them go when he suddenly found that Ye Fei, an Earth-stage disciple, also wanted to go out. He looked very puzzled.
"You're an Earth-stage disciple. Isn't today the day of the ranking match? Why are you going out now? Are you going to be eliminated so soon? " The instructor was a little puzzled. Although Ye Fei was abandoned by the heavens, his reputation as the first on the Heaven List was so well-known that even the instructor in charge of the inspection had heard of him.
Hearing the instructor's words, Ye Fei was, of course, shocked. Then he patted his head and said, "Oh no, I completely forgot about this. Gua Wang, you go out first and look for those spiritual herbs. If you can't find them, we'll figure it out later."
"Young Master Ye, don't worry. I'll definitely find those spiritual herbs." There were no flaws in the Corpse Official's words and actions. The instructor in charge of the inspection also noticed that the instructor in charge of the inspection didn't notice anything strange.
He was speechless that Ye Fei actually forgot about such an important matter as the ranking match. He couldn't help but lecture him, "Ye Fei, what's wrong with you? The ranking match of the Sacred Academy is related to your position in the Sacred Academy. How can you miss it? Hurry back now and you can still make up for it. Oh right, even if you miss the match, you can still challenge the top ten disciples. Once you succeed, you'll also receive a corresponding reward."
The instructor in charge of the inspection was kind-hearted and took the initiative to remind Ye Fei. Of course, while the two were talking, the Corpse Official was also very alert and quickly left the Martial God Space of the Sacred Academy to meet up with Fa Yihai, who was waiting outside.
According to Ye Fei's orders, the Corpse Official would be brought to the territory of a Quasi-emperor family by Fa Yihai, and then wait for an opportunity to stir up trouble and spread rumors that the Hall of Life and Death had risen from the ashes.
After seeing that the Corpse Official that he had refined had successfully passed the test, Ye Fei breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he rushed to the martial arts practice field of the ranking match as fast as he could.
Halfway there, Ye Fei received a voice-transmitting talisman from the little fatty, and learned that Zhou Xiaoyu had actually personally gone to the mountain peak to look for him.
Fortunately, Xia Jun was there to help him stall for time on the way. Ye Fei secretly exclaimed that it was a close call, and hurriedly rushed back to his own mountain peak as fast as he could.
Just as he reached the foot of the mountain, he saw that Zhou Xiaoyu was already standing at the foot of the spiritual mountain from afar, and was about to go up to look for him.
Xia Jun, on the other hand, was constantly playing tricks, falling down one moment, and screaming the next. He was desperately stalling for time, but Zhou Xiaoyu was already very impatient. "Xia Jun, you're deliberately playing tricks. What's going on? Did something happen to Ye Fei?"
"Instructor Zhou, I'm not playing tricks. I just like you, and I want to stay with you for a while longer." Xia Jun thickened his skin, and actually mustered up the courage to confess to Zhou Xiaoyu.
Zhou Xiaoyu was stunned. Looking at Xia Jun's shameless stalling tactics, she did not know how to react.
Ye Fei was also stunned. He felt that Xia Jun was indeed loyal to his friends. In order to stall for time, he could actually come up with such a trick. This time, it was impossible for Zhou Xiaoyu to doubt him even if she wanted to.
He coughed, and pretended that he had just returned from outside.
Zhou Xiaoyu was also shocked. When she finally reacted, she glared fiercely at Xia Jun, and pretended that she did not understand Xia Jun's words. She turned her head to Ye Fei and said angrily, "Ye Fei, what are you doing? Today is the day of the ranking match, and you're actually strolling outside?"
"What? There's another ranking battle today. Oh no, I was so focused on cultivating that I forgot about it. Instructor Zhou, I wonder if I'm still in time if I participate now? "Ye Fei had a very nervous expression as he secretly gave Xia Jun a thumbs up.
Unfortunately, at this time, Zhou Xiaoyu was a little flustered and did not know what to do. She did not ask any more questions, and only urged Ye Fei, "You definitely won't be in time for the competition. However, you can issue a challenge in front of everyone. As long as you can defeat the top ten contestants, no one will be able to say anything."
With that, Zhou Xiaoyu hurriedly led Ye Fei and Xia Jun back to the Martial Arts Practice Field as quickly as possible. At this time, the Martial Arts Practice Field was indeed as Zhou Xiaoyu had expected. The ranking match was nearing its end.
Besides Ye Fei, there was another person who did not make it in time to participate in the ranking match. This person was naturally Qiu Mingshan.
