Li Heng was badly injured and could no longer continue watching the competition, so Xu Mu had Shang YaoYao take him back.
Shang YaoYao had already advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage and was no longer eligible to participate in the competition. So it made no difference to her whether she watched the contest or not.
Shang YaoYao was unhappy about being treated like a maid by Xu Mu.
"If it weren't for the fact that you're capable of making money for me, I wouldn't even bother dealing with you! Humph!"
Despite grumbling, Shang YaoYao obediently heeded Xu Mu and returned with Li Heng.
Xu Mu and Luo Qingchen continued to watch the competition until the end, and then returned to Lonely Sword Peak. The second round of the competition would start the next day.
By the time they returned to Lonely Sword Peak, Li Heng had already awakened. However, his internal injuries were severe and he couldn't get out of bed yet.
Li Heng leaned against his bed, looking disheartened.
