Mo Ning, as Sir Gu's apprentice, was now technically in opposition to Li Huai as Sir Gu was about to face him in combat.
Logically, even if Mo Ning didn't assist Sir Gu in fighting against Li Huai, at the very least, she would hope for Sir Gu's victory.
But she herself couldn't understand why she was harboring a desire to dissuade Li Huai.
True, Li Huai did manage to defeat Jiang Hao, but what was Jiang Hao worth? He probably couldn't even match up to her, and with a single finger, her master could potentially crush him.
Therefore, Mo Ning didn't consider Li Huai to be a match for her master, even predicting an inevitable defeat for Li Huai within three rounds.
Would a narrow-minded woman like Xu Lan easily forgive Li Huai if he truly lost?
But just as Mo Ning was about to warn Li Huai out of kindness, she was astonished to find that he had already disappeared from the hall.
"Could he have already gone outside?"
Upon this realization, Mo Ning hurriedly chased after him.
