Xiao Yi's arrival naturally attracted the attention of many people.
This was the current genius of the Tianqing Kingdom who was in the spotlight—if it had been any other time, countless powerful individuals would have approached to befriend him.
But now...
Less than a month remained until the deadline for the duel between Xiao Yi and the Royal Martial Arts Academy.
For the crowd.
The Royal Martial Arts Academy and Xiao Yi were at odds, with an evident lean towards Xiao Yi.
In their eyes, Xiao Yi's life and death were uncertain, and in this gamble, the Royal Martial Arts Academy was clearly more likely to win. To befriend Xiao Yi now and, should he die at the hands of the Academy in a month, they might face retribution come autumn.
That's exactly why.
Even though many in the banquet hall nodded and made polite gestures towards Xiao Yi, not one person came forward to start a conversation.
"Amitabha!"
