83: Nanya is so brave

Gu Xiaoyue stared at the match schedule. Did Xiao Yun have the strength to guarantee a victory against Qian Mingyu?

"Teacher, it is like this: Xiao Yun is my cousin. She is in poor health and will likely only be able to participate in this National Competition once. I did not hold back during the team competition, but now that I have a bye in the individual competition, I would like to switch with her. Even if it is just to move up two spots, it would not be in vain for her to have come to compete!"

As Gu Xiaoyue spoke, her eyes filled with tears. "I beg you, Teacher. You would not want a young girl in the prime of her life like Xiao Yun to leave this world with regrets, would you?"

The teacher hesitated. In fact, the scheduling for this tournament was not generated by the brain; it had been worked out by several teachers themselves.

Gu Xiaoyue's strength was obvious to all; in their eyes, she was practically the guaranteed winner of the individual competition! Therefore, he had also contributed to her getting a bye, but Xiao Yun—

"Alright then, I will switch it for you!"

Seeing that the first step of her plan had succeeded, Gu Xiaoyue continued to plead with the teacher. "There is one more thing, Teacher. Although she has a bye, I want to give her a surprise after the competition ends. Could you please not let her leave the competition venue yet?"

"That is no problem at all."

The teacher readily agreed; preventing Xiao Yun from leaving was much easier than switching the opponent.

Gu Xiaoyue thanked the teacher profusely, expressing her gratitude for his understanding and support.

The teacher also stated that he would do his best to fulfill Student Xiao Yun's final wish, and that no thanks were necessary.

Afterward, Gu Xiaoyue sent a message to Chu Li: move once the competition ends.

In this individual competition for the round of fifteen to eight, Xiao Yun's strength was indeed at the bottom.

She had originally thought that regardless of whether she faced Gu Xiaoyue or not, as long as Gu Xiaoyue saw that letter and knew that Ye Wanrou had been kidnapped and withdrew from the competition—she would feel much better.

Who told Gu Xiaoyue to have Chu Li and still go around provoking her cousin!

When the match results came out, Xiao Yun had a bye. She was secretly delighted—winning without a fight and advancing directly to the top eight!

But what was going on with Ye Wanrou? Although her subordinates kept assuring her that Ye Wanrou was still being held captive, then who was the person she had seen?

Xiao Yun thought that with a bye, she could go back directly to check on the situation, but she did not expect the official teacher to say that because of a problem with the brain system, the top eight contestants had to resubmit their data before they could leave.

That meant that as long as the other matches had not ended, Xiao Yun could not leave!

Xiao Yun was anxious inside, but on the surface, she remained calm, having no choice but to wait for all the matches to end.

She waited patiently, watching Gu Xiaoyue on the stage defeat Qian Mingyu in just a few moves. Xiao Yun was furious!

Why could Gu Xiaoyue, with a Human Level talent, summon four pet beasts while she could not!

Xiao Yun was going crazy with jealousy!

Finally, all seven matches ended. Gu Xiaoyue, Chu Li, Fang Xiaoyu, Yang Zheming, He Zhichen, as well as Shen Qing from Chongbei and Hu Zichao from West River had won.

Following the official teacher's requirements, they filled out their data and then left one after another.

Gu Xiaoyue first released Xiao Mo, equipped it with a pinhole camera, and had it follow Xiao Yun while invisible.

Chu Li also summoned the Youming Tiger. He and Gu Xiaoyue entered the Youming Tiger's hidden space and also followed Xiao Yun while invisible.

The Xiao Family's background was not weak; it was the maiden family of Shui Lingyu's grandmother.

Relying solely on Gu Xiaoyue and Chu Li, they might not be able to deal with Xiao Yun's subordinates.

Chu Li had a positioning system installed on him; if he could not handle it, he would activate it immediately, and his bodyguards would be deployed.

Chu Li had four quasi-legendary level bodyguards. Previously, because Gu Xiaoyue had contracted the Yinglong and the Hou, he had specifically asked Old Master Chu to dispatch two quasi-mythical level bodyguards.

This setup was definitely enough to deal with Xiao Yun's subordinates!

Xiao Mo and the Youming Tiger, which not only concealed their figures but also their auras, followed Xiao Yun all the way to her private dormitory building.

Even Shui Lingyu lived in a regular dormitory with his teammates, yet Xiao Yun actually had her own dormitory building.

It was unclear whether it was because she was a member of the Huaqing school team, or if she had always been this arrogant and extravagant.

Xiao Yun walked to a room where two men in black suits were guarding the door.

"Is the person still inside? Has there been no movement at all?"

Xiao Yun asked the two men in black suits impatiently.

One of the men in black suits explained patiently once again: "She is, Eldest Miss."

Xiao Yun pushed the door open and entered. She saw Ye Wanrou tied up from head to toe, her mouth sealed tightly with tape.

Ye Wanrou made wuwu sounds, as if she were saying, "Let me go immediately!"

Xiao Yun let out a cold laugh. "I left a letter for Gu Xiaoyue, telling her to withdraw from the competition if she wanted you to live! She still went to compete; it seems that in her heart, you are nothing!"

Ye Wanrou sobbed while shaking her head; she did not believe that Xiao Yue would completely disregard her safety!

A fierce light appeared in Xiao Yun's eyes. "If you do not believe me, that is fine! If it were not for the fact that I made it into the top eight today, I would have already had those two at the door shave your hair off and send it to Gu Xiaoyue, so she could see the price of her disobedience!"

Ye Wanrou's tears could not stop flowing. She thought to herself: This woman is a lunatic! She will really kill me! Xiao Yue, save me!

"I will give her another letter today; if she does not withdraw, she can just wait to receive—"

Before Xiao Yun could finish her sentence, Chu Li and Gu Xiaoyue appeared beside her.

"Receive what? Receive your corpse?"

Gu Xiaoyue's twin swords were already pressed against Xiao Yun's neck; the coldness of the blade was no match for the iciness of her words.

Xiao Yun instantly broke out in a cold sweat; she could even feel that a shallow cut had already been made on her neck.

Ye Wanrou was also a bit stunned by the sudden appearance of Gu Xiaoyue and Chu Li, and then her tears flowed even more heavily.

"Do not scream, or else my hand—might shake, oh."

Gu Xiaoyue leaned close to Xiao Yun's ear and said softly.

Only Xiao Yun could hear the implication of a death threat in her words.

Gu Xiaoyue was not actually afraid that she would alert the men in black suits outside. After all, with her sword pressed against Xiao Yun's neck, those two in black suits would not dare to act rashly.

She just needed to stall for some time, waiting for Chu Li's people to arrive, to ensure that Ye Wanrou could leave safely.

At this point, this matter could not be easily resolved. After all, Xiao Yun was not just messing around; she really intended to kill.

Chu Li did not stand on ceremony with her either. Not only did he notify his own people, but he also had Chen Yixuan, Ye Junhe, Lin Zhiyi, and even Shui Lingyu, Head Teacher Ding, and Director Wu called over.

The first to arrive were Chu Li's bodyguards, and they watched as they subdued the men in black suits at the door.

Soon, several more men in black suits joined the fray, and they were also easily subdued.

Seeing that they were all her own people, Gu Xiaoyue put away her twin swords and prepared to tie Xiao Yun up.

Seeing that she was no longer restricted, Xiao Yun immediately began to scream for help, even calling her head teacher to notify them.

Director Wu and Head Teacher Ding moved faster than Chen Yixuan and the others.

As soon as they entered the room where Xiao Yun was holding Ye Wanrou, they saw Xiao Yun crying while calling for help, and Ye Wanrou tied up all over, streaming with tears.

"What on earth is going on here!?"

Director Wu and Head Teacher Ding were completely baffled. Before they could get an answer, another person walked in from outside.

"I heard that Student Xiao Yun has been kidnapped. You Nanya people are so bold, running wild on our Huaqing territory!"
