Chapter 325: Is Baili Xie Crooked? (5)_1
After all the elixirs were auctioned off, the final rankings were Green Emperor Xiahou first, Shayan second, Dugu Qianye third, Meng He fourth, and Wuhai fifth.
After the host of the auction left, the Alchemist Guild tallied the rankings and announced them, shocking the audience! Shayan, who had always been first, had unexpectedly fallen to second, while the previously unknown Baili Xie soared to third!
"Tomorrow will be the ultimate semi-finals of our competition, where the top three will be selected to advance to the final round. Please make sure all participants get a good rest today and attend tomorrow’s competition on time."
After the presenter was done speaking, everyone began to leave the venue. As Dugu Qianye was leaving, she felt someone watching her; following the gaze back, she noticed a person in an inconspicuous corner. That person seemed not to expect Dugu Qianye to look over, pausing briefly, then giving her a slight smile.
Dugu Qianye returned the smile and then turned away to leave. For some reason, that person’s presence felt very intimate to her, even though she caught him stealing glances, she wasn’t annoyed.
"What a keen little one," Dugu Yilan said.
Dugu Qianqian glanced around but didn’t see anyone and asked, "Third Uncle, who are you talking about?"
"That little one. Let’s go, we’re heading back."
On the way back to the hotel from the venue, Dugu Qianye was quiet and looking down. When she was about to walk into a roadside branch, Zi Xiao quickly grabbed her and asked, "What’s wrong?"
Pulled back to reality by Zi Xiao, Dugu Qianye realized it was just the two of them and asked, "Where are Senior Brother and Mo Feng?"
