Chapter 338: Attack (2/2)

”I thought that was what was happening. If not for me especially looking for you, I wouldn't have noticed at all.”

”Good job. You did great,” she finally smiled and said. Alex smiled too.

”Thank you, master,” he replied.

”Alright, now leave,” she said.

”Huh?… oh, right. Ok, I will see you guys later after this competition ends,” Alex said and went to the front of the seating area where the Tiger sect was located.

”Hey, good job, Yu-Ming. I am proud of you,” Wen Cheng said the moment he reached there.

”I am honestly so surprised at the result, Junior brother. What happened out there?” Luo Mei asked.

Alex thanked them and explained everything.

”Oh, I see. So everyone who flew over the beasts got doomed huh?” Luo Mei said.

”Not really, as that second-ranked, you could just be fast. But I think, Yu Ming is genuinely an extreme case in this competition,” Wen Cheng said.

”That is true too,” Luo Mei said.

”Sister, aren't you going to leave now?” Alex asked. The top 16 was going to start soon and it was time for her to leave.

”I will go down after the stage is fixed,” she said as she gestured towards the stage.

The opaque barrier had returned and Alex could tell that they were destroying the stage inside there. He had a pretty good guess that most of them were just formations, but he was still surprised how well it was.

So, while the stage was getting ready, they all waited.

”Did you like that, father?” the second price asked.

”Yes, Yes, that was very fun to watch. It's truly amazing how the last person flipped the points around so much that it went below zero. This is truly the first time I have seen something like this happen,” the Emperor said.

”Truly well said, dear. It was the most fun I have had watching a competition in a long time. Not only were the different Maze fun to watch them go through, but the final result was also equally as fun to see,” the Empress said.

”That was great of you, dear Nephew. I enjoyed it very much too,” Zexi said with a burst of loud laughter.

The rest of the four looked at him with surprise. ”You liked it?” the second prince asked.

”Of course, it was very entertaining to watch,” Zexi said with a smile.

”You know what daddy,” the Princess intervened, ”that's actually the same robe as the boy I met,” she said.

”Is it?” the Emperor asked in surprise.

”Yes, but that wasn't him. The one I met had long hair,” the Princess said.

”Well, that's very unfortunate,” the Emperor said.

Zexi had a smirk on his face as he looked down at the seating areas of the different sects and said, ”Truly unfortunate, indeed.”
