Although Elder Qin’nyao wasn’t worried Xu Linyun would lose against Fang Xing, she couldn’t help but admit that the boy’s battle prowess still made him a threat. If Xu Linyun were to use up too much Qi during this match, if she were wounded, or if she were forced to reveal the secret techniques she’d prepared for Xiao Jianming, even a victory would still bring more loss than gain. That is why Elder Qin’nyao intended to use a few methods to prevent this from happening.
In these past few months, Elder Qin’nyao had personally seen how close the relationship between Xiao Mahn and Fang Xing was. She knew Fang Xing was smart, and he would understand the situation simply by seeing Xiao Mahn at her side.
Xiao Mahn had been watching the entire tournament from a peak some thousand feet away and wasn’t too far; it didn’t take long for her to come over once she received the message. "Xiao Mahn is pleased to see Esteemed Shifu…."
