She did try to lower her voice, but she didn't lower her volume. She wanted everyone to know that Schilling's Shadow had fled the scene.
The Xi Clan Head glanced at her with an enigmatic expression. His dignified face was unreadable.
Very quickly, the news of Xi Nuoying's absence spread throughout the drill grounds.
"Schilling's Shadow ran away? She didn't even come to the arena?"
"That trash didn't come. At least she knows her place. She knows that she's bound to lose this match."
"She's smart. Young Master Li is a Level Six fighter. Even without a fight, the result is obvious. She will only be beaten up badly. If I were her, I would definitely do the same thing. Haha." Following that, a series of laughter followed.
The Xi Family Patriarch's face darkened as he listened to the mocking laughter of the crowd.
Xi Mengdie carefully observed his expression. "Grandpa, Ninth Sister is too willful. Even if she doesn't have the confidence to win the competition, she should still be here. She shouldn't be so irresponsible and not come."
That's great. Grandfather's expression is scary. Even if Schilling's Shadow manages to survive the competition, he won't be able to escape Grandfather's punishment.
Thinking of this, Xi Mengdie's eyebrows almost flew up, but she concealed her emotions very well. On the surface, she still looked like an elder sister who was worried about her younger sister.
"Patriarch, do you want us to go out and look for him?" Third Elder gave Xi Mengdie a reproachful look. Her little tricks couldn't escape his eyes. "Even if we lose, the Xi family will lose fair and square. We won't be cowards."
The First Elder and Second Elder nodded heavily upon hearing this. Their blood was boiling because of the Third Elder's tough tone.
Patriarch Xi, on the other hand, turned to look at Young Master Li.
"Young Master Li clearly knows that Nuo Ying doesn't have Dou Qi, but he still said those words. It's obvious that he won't show any mercy to Nuo Ying once they're on the stage." He calmly pointed out his own opinion.
"He has always been boastful and narrow-minded. It is not surprising that he has such a mentality." The First Elder's words were full of disdain for Young Master Li.
"Today, Meng Die has already embarrassed the Xi Clan once. Are we going to let Nuo Ying embarrass herself a second time?" Patriarch Xi scoffed.
Xi Mengdie had never thought that she would be implicated. Her complexion changed slightly. She was a little annoyed.
Weren't they talking about Schilling's Shadow? Why was he talking about her?
"Patriarch, what do you mean?"
"It's enough that the Xi Family has been humiliated once. Third Elder, please report to the Elder Council that Schilling's Shadow's stomach is not feeling well this morning. He is still bedridden and will not be able to participate in the competition."
Third Elder nodded seriously. He felt that Patriarch Xi's concerns were not unfounded, but the fact that the girl he had his eyes on turned out to be a deserter made him feel extremely disappointed.
Amidst the increasingly unpleasant discussions, he walked towards the Elders Council of the Great Wall's main family. Just as he was about to speak, a joyful voice rang out. "Ninth Young Lady, you're finally here."
Miss Nine, there was only one Miss Nine in the whole of Bei An City!
Schilling's Shadow has appeared!
The Third Elder abruptly turned his head and indeed saw a woman in a red muslin dress strolling into the Drill Ground from outside. The Young Master of the City Lord's family quickly chased after her.
