"Ayun, you're really being too impulsive!"
Tang Rou also spoke in a reproachful tone towards Ayun at her side.
"No need to consult with you, it's just killing someone, whoever dares to resist will be killed!"
Facing Chu Yan and Tang Rou's questioning, Ayun replied indifferently, without a hint of emotion.
"You..."
Chu Yan was surprised that Ayun dared to speak to her like that, her delicate face turning slightly cold as she stared at the other party.
"Alright, stop arguing. Although Ayun is a bit impulsive, she is completely following Yun Hao's orders!"
Liu Mengqi said calmly, then stood up and addressed the crowd below, "The match continues!"
Following Liu Mengqi's words, another person jumped onto the stage below, and the competition continued as planned.
Upon hearing Liu Mengqi speak up, Chu Yan and Tang Rou said no more.
"Ah, having too many women is really troublesome. It was alright when Yun Hao was here; everything was harmonious. Once Yun Hao is not here, the conflicts surface!"
Seductive Snake leaned casually against the sofa and spoke lazily. Upon seeing Liu Mengqi's glare, she pouted and stopped talking.
"Seductive Snake, what do you mean?"
Chu Yan stared coldly at Seductive Snake and questioned her in a low voice.
"What could I mean? I was just saying it casually. If you don't like hearing it, I won't say it!" Seductive Snake shrugged indifferently and then took out a book to read.
"Alright, stop arguing. Let's wait until the husband comes back and then discuss it!"
Seeing the situation getting out of hand, Zhao Ya kindly suggested they stop arguing, otherwise it would be difficult to handle when Yun Hao returned.
However, Zhao Ya's words completely ignited Chu Yan's anger.
"Who do you think you are? Calling 'husband' over and over, do you have no shame?"
Chu Yan asked Zhao Ya coldly, then angrily turned and left.
"Don't mind it, I'll go check!"
Zhao Shishi said awkwardly to the other women, then hurriedly chased after her.
No matter what others said, she and Chu Yan had been close friends for so many years, she couldn't just ignore her now.
Tang Rou glanced at the group, snorted coldly, and also chased after them.
In an instant, three women left, leaving Zhao Ya a bit at a loss, secretly blaming herself.
She shouldn't have spoken that extra line, it only made things worse...
"Don't think too much, wait for Yun Hao to come back and let him handle it!"
Liu Mengqi softly comforted Zhao Ya, who was standing there with her head lowered, unsure of what to do.
Meanwhile, Su Qiao, who hadn't spoken, gently took Zhao Ya's hand, indicating her not to worry too much.
The day's competitions ended, except for Cheng Ye, who was killed by Ayun, two more cultivators passed the selection. These cultivators, however, didn't cause trouble and respectfully cupped their fists towards Ayun and others before sitting on the prepared wooden chairs on the other side.
Only when Liu Mengqi and Zhao Ya went home did they choose to return to the villa Liu Mengqi had purchased.
The rift among the women officially opened today.
Seven days, by the seventh day, there were already eight people who passed the selection, the highest cultivation among them was an early-stage eighth grade master.
"I, Wu Dufu, request teachings from everyone!"
Early in the day, an elderly man with white hair and beard jumped on the stage, gently cupping his fists towards the audience below.
Ten people went up in succession, yet none of them could even touch Wu Dufu, including a peak seventh grade master who couldn't touch Wu Dufu.
"What's this old man's cultivation?"
Seductive Snake lightly nudged the expressionless Ayun.
"Eighth grade, late stage!"
Ayun sensed Wu Dufu's aura and answered softly.
"Wow, this is impressive, really powerful!"
Seductive Snake nodded, then started reading her book again.
"Ye Wuqing!"
At this moment, another young man jumped onto the stage, with a sword in hand, and spoke to the crowd below.
During Ye Wuqing's fight against many people, Gu Feng and Sun Fei arrived with a dozen people by Ayun's side, "We descended from Kunlun Sacred Land, the master sent us!"
"Sit over there, Yun Hao has instructed us!" Liu Mengqi pointed to the position in front of them, speaking to Gu Feng and Sun Fei.
The two nodded and sat down with their people.
Soon, Qing Luan and Lu Qingzhu also arrived, nodded to Ayun and the others, and sat down.
Meanwhile, on the stage, Ye Wuqing also defeated ten people, easily advancing, without ever unsheathing his Treasure Sword.
The crowd below the stage watched Gu Feng, Qing Luan, and others sitting near Liu Mengqi with their minds full of doubts, but no one dared to ask. Who knew if they'd get killed by Ayun, the Cold Face woman, with one slash?
As the match was about to end, with an early-stage eighth grade master soon to achieve ten consecutive victories, a woman appearing to be in her thirties jumped onto the stage.
With one palm, just one palm, she knocked that early-stage eighth grade master off the stage, then proceeded to fight several others, regardless of their realm—whether seventh or eighth grade, all defeated with one palm.
This woman is called Gu Yueshuang!
Ayun stood up, announcing that thirty-two people passed the selection and would draw lots now, dividing into four groups. The first round of formal matches would start tomorrow.
After the draw results came out, coincidentally, Wu Dufu, Ye Wuqing, and Gu Yueshuang, considered the top contenders for taking the throne, were placed in different groups.
But Wu Dufu and Gu Yueshuang were in groups A and B, which meant they would inevitably fight in the finals.
For three or four days, the women hadn't spoken much to each other.
Since Chu Yan and Zhao Ya's last argument, Chu Yan seemed to have changed, becoming slightly irritable, and Zhao Ya also changed, becoming somewhat reticent, only replying with polite smiles to whoever spoke to her.
As the semifinals began, things became busier. Chu Yan once again focused on the company, reverting to the workaholic female CEO she was before.
However, compared to before, now the entire Prosperous International didn't dare to speak loudly because once, just because an employee spoke a bit louder and laughed somewhat exaggeratedly, he was spotted by Chu Yan passing by, and the next day, the employee was fired.
