Hao Zhao was already sitting on the bench that was prepared for him along with Yang Gao as well as Yue Yie on his right and left side, respectively, where there had been actual talks before between Yang Gao and Meng Kiao although Hao Zhao did not care much because most of the talks were just boring pleasantries according to Hao Zhao.
In addition, Meng Dali had also previously tried to talk to him several times. Where only Hao Zhao responded to his potluck because Yue Yie who was constantly staring at him with threats made Hao Zhao uncomfortable, where because of this Meng Dali like giving up on his own and no longer trying to attract his attention.
“Sucks isn't it, Brother Zhao?" asked Yue Yie.
Hao Zhao immediately glanced at Yue Yie, questioning who Yue Yie meant to be annoying in his remark.
“That woman, she just kept trying to get close to you before. It was fortunate that Brother Zhao did not pay any more attention to her, otherwise it was impossible for her to be sitting next to Brother Zhao and not me," Yue Yie continued with her cheeks that had puffed up.
Hao Zhao only raised his eyebrows, not at all understanding what reason Yue Yie could be so worried at such a thing that it seemed completely impossible.
“I know him not even, what makes you think I'd rather sit next to him than you?" ask Hao Zhao.
Yue Yie only clucked irritably at Hao Zhao's words before saying, “Who knows if Kak Zhao likes a female figure like her, one thing that Brother Zhao should know is that I don't like Brother Zhao close or know him any further" Yue Yie said before throwing his face away.
Hao Zhao heard it immediately felt astonished, before feeling intrigued because he thought how Yue Yie was acting looked so adorable.
Putting her palm on Yue Yie's head immediately Hao Zhao patted her head softly saying, “If it wants you then there is no reason for me to refuse it, then there is no reason for me to, if I just had to not know him any further it could easily be done."
Yue Yie immediately turned her head before looking at Hao Zhao happily, after which saying, “Is that true?"
Hao Zhao immediately nodded in response form, making the smile behind the thin cloth covering a part of Yue Yie's face widen even more.
Hao Zhao could only sigh in relief after noticing that Yue Yie seemed to be no longer upset, which meant that he could feel a little calm to follow the course of his upcoming tournament.
“Son Zhao, can you bring yourself close to me for a moment?" asked Yang Gao not long after.
Hao Zhao raised his eyebrows questioning what Yang Gao wanted to do by asking him to do just that, even so, Hao Zhao continued to follow Yang Gao's request clearly aware that there seemed to be something important that Yang Gao wanted to do or convey.
Not long after drawing himself closer towards Yang Gao, immediately Yang Gao whispered something to Hao Zhao making Hao Zhao frown.
“Should?" hao Zhao asked, not thinking that kind of thing needed to be done.
“Of course, this can give a more related impression of yourself to everyone who is here" Yang Gao said, nodding slowly.
Hao Zhao only fell silent afterwards, what Yang Gao whispered to him was indeed still related to Yang Gao's desire to make him the figure of the famous and famous younger generation of Treasure Lanterns.
Even so, what Yang Gao had told him to do made Hao Zhao feel a little uncomfortable.
“Well, I will do as you wish, Uncle Gao," Hao Zhao said.
“Hehe, it's only the owner of part of my Treasure Lantern" Yang Gao said before standing up from his chair to leave from there leaving Hao Zhao as well as Yue Yie.
“Kak Zhao ..." Yue Yie looked at Hao Zhao expectantly, for Hao Zhao to tell him the contents of the previous conversation between Hao Zhao and his teacher.
Hao Zhao only stared back at Yue Yie in silence before smiling lightly, “No need to know, you will see for yourself."
Yue Yie immediately clucked annoyed at Hao Zhao's remark, clearly upset that she felt that being eliminated did not participate in the conversation.
Hao Zhao himself just laughed softly seeing how Yue Yie's expression looked, it didn't matter that Yue Yie became like that because if she told him she would feel ashamed of herself.
Not long after that someone climbed the fighting arena which was none other than Meng Kiao, where immediately given a warm welcome presence by everyone present there.
Hao Zhao only watched the reception, not how long Meng Kiao gave a speech, immediately surprised every one of them who came to hear Meng Kiao's words.
“Tournaments in this city are more special than what is in other cities because we have special guests present for you, someone who gave a buzz with his presence made every swordsman in this empire have more support for the increase of their strength. Patriarch of the Treasure Lantern sect, Mr. Gao please give a few words to each participant as well as the audience present," said Meng Kiao to let Yang Gao climb the battle arena.
Yang Gao seemed to emerge from the void in the middle of the fighting arena, his aura was so strong that every one of them who was there even had to hold their breath for feeling the tremendous pressure from Yang Gao's presence.
“Mr Gao, can you pull your aura? So suppressing how your aura feels makes ...."
Meng Kiao who was the closest to Yang Gao could not even continue her words because the aura belonged to Yang Gao, who was the closest to him, it was clearly a tangible proof of how much pressure Yang Gao had.
No different from Meng Kiao every one of them present also felt the same way, where now they had difficulty breathing every one of them did not care even a swordsman.
“I didn't come to see anything boring, so I'm going to add to the list of prizes for winners .. So take out all the skills you have in the tournament later," yang Gao said with his aura that began to recede before disappearing completely.
Each of those who were there could breathe a sigh of relief before cheering the participants in particular, they understood as much as how rich the Treasure Lantern was so sure that the gift from Yang Gao was no ordinary gift.
“Don't be happy first because not only that I prepared, I also let one of my sect's Main disciples participate which means you can only get the prize after defeating him," yang Gao said not long after that made the cheers immediately turn silent.
Ohmm!!!
Hao Zhao landed out of nowhere right next to Yang Gao, causing the arena to suffer considerable damage as it could not resist the landing of Hao Zhao's foot there.
“Beating me? I was worried that none of them could do that," Hao Zhao said coldly, so piercing the hearing of every single one of them who heard it.
Every one of them present was immediately fixated, be it the audience or participants were no different as each of them stared at Hao Zhao in a way that was so difficult to explain.
They were stunned to realize Hao Zhao's presence there, but along with that they also felt an overwhelming horror that they could not describe in words.
Hao Zhao stared intently at everyone around him before murmuring softly, “What I did was right, right?"
