Master Han clenched the fist in his hand, a murderous glint passing through his eyes.
Actually, he didn’t care whether Xiao Liulang advanced or not; after all, even if Xiao Liulang did advance, there was no way for him to pass the final challenge.
But the taste of being played for a fool was indeed unpleasant.
This lad named Xiao Liulang... was a very infuriating guy.
Outside the barracks, Han Lei shook his head slightly at Master Han, signaling with his eyes not to act impulsively.
This was not the place to fight; being expelled from the competition would be bad news.
Master Han closed his eyes briefly, exhaled a breath of foul air, and calmed his emotions before saying to Gu Jiao, "It’s all in vain."
Gu Jiao nodded in strong agreement, "You’re absolutely right, it’s futile, so you might as well admit defeat now and let Brother Feng compete with me in the next round."
Feng Ling was so frightened that he jolted!
Aside from the eleven competitors in the barracks, there were also the examiners appointed by the imperial court and some cavalry who, although eliminated, were allowed to watch the battle.
All eyes simultaneously fell on Gu Jiao.
This youngster, with his flawed appearance and young age, dared to speak so arrogantly in front of Master Han.
Was he not afraid of death?
Compared to the sharp and exposed Crown Prince Han, this low-profile Master Han was the real slaughter god of the Han Family.
Master Han was highly valued by the old Lord Han; if he hadn’t been poisoned, even the position of family head might have been his for the taking.
Master Han’s temper wasn’t so easily provoked, and what happened earlier was an exception—there wouldn’t be a second time.
He looked intently at Gu Jiao and said, "I’ll see you in the next match."
Gu Jiao spread his hands, "Who knows if we’ll meet, after all, I’ve advanced, but you haven’t yet."
Stirring the pot!
Master Han clenched his fist.
Outside the barracks, Han Lei gestured with his eyes to one of the examiners.
The examiner immediately cleared his throat, "Ahem! Alright, let’s start! Xiao Liulang, since you’ve advanced, you can stay to watch or you can leave now."
Everyone looked at her enviously, wondering why such luck couldn’t fall upon them.
Gu Jiao reluctantly said, "Since you, the examiner, have asked me to stay, then I’ll grudgingly watch."
Examiner: "..."
