Chapter 295 - Such Worship (2/2)

“Why can’t I see his face? Oh, because he’s wearing a hat.”

“The Lord Divine Messenger actually has silver hair. Wow!”

“I really want to take a look at the Lord Divine Messenger’s face.”

Ling Chuxi was slightly stunned by these words and she raised her head to look up at the highest watching platform. When she did, she saw Huangfu Qingjue’s familiar figure. He was currently wearing a wide, lavish robe that made him look very otherworldly. He was also wearing a veiled hat which made it impossible for people to properly see his face. However, the moment Ling Chuxi looked up at him, he turned to face her. Ling Chuxi could clearly feel Huangfu Qingjue’s gaze through the veil, and indeed behind the obscurity of the veil, Huangfu Qingjue was looking at Ling Chuxi steadily at the moment.

Ling Chuxi smiled at Huangfu Qingjue and Huangfu Qingjue nodded slightly before sitting down.

“Wow, the Lord Divine Messenger nodded at me!”

“Get lost, you are dreaming. The Lord Divine Messenger was nodding at me!”

…

Huangfu Qingjue’s single nod had caused the people watching below to start arguing amongst themselves.

Ling Chuxi took another bite of her glutinous rice ball as she secretly felt speechless. She secretly lamented that the people gus.h.i.+ng over “the Lord Divine Messenger” were so wors.h.i.+pful of the Deity Temple that they had reached a point of blindly believing anything about it was great.

The list of the four semi-finalists had long since been released to the public. In addition to Ling Chuxi and Baili Han, there was another person who had qualified to be in the semi-finals because of Ling Yichen’s forfeiture, and another who earned a spot by defeating Xia Zhuoyi—Chu Jianyi. Xia Zhuoyi’s strength was not very strong in the first place, and throughout the compet.i.tion, it was not easy for Chu Jianyi to get as far as he did. So, he was not surprised at his defeat to Baili Han. After all, he had previously lost to Baili Han as well. As for the match between Ling Chuxi and the contender who had only come this far due to Ling Yichen forfeiting, it was no surprise that Ling Chuxi won. This meant that the final two in the compet.i.tion were none other than Ling Chuxi and Baili Han.
