The slots for the Flower Pinning Conference were quickly settled, and since the Xuanyuan Sect did not join this year, the competition among the Five Great Sects was reduced to four. Consequently, the age restriction for participants had to be adjusted, and three more competitors were added from each sect. As a result, many disciples under eighteen now also had the chance to take part in this year's Flower Pinning Conference.
Early that day, Xuanji and Yu Sifeng were called to the main hall and informed that they, too, were on the list of disciples participating in this year's conference.
As Chu Lei added names to the list, he said, "This year is an exception. Even if you participate, there's no need to be bent on winning; consider it an experience."
After he finished, he looked up at Xuanji. As expected, she was first taken aback, then quickly showed an impatient expression, grumbling, "I have to participate too? But I really don't want to..."
