Yan Geng said, "A Qin, only you would think like this. Look at Feng Yao's expression. Isn't she really enjoying herself?"
"And she keeps looking in our direction deliberately or not. The provocation in her eyes is undisguised." Yan Xiao also slowly spoke up.
"It's okay. I don't care," Feng Yuqin replied. "Cousin, you should understand that it's not a good thing to be targeted by too many people. After all, there are only three spots in that group. No matter who is selected, it's easy to offend the rest."
Only Feng Yao couldn't see this clearly and was even self - satisfied.
However, Feng Yuqin found that Feng Chi was a bit more adept at handling such matters.
Although the distance between them was a bit far and there were many people, she couldn't hear what Feng Chi was saying.
But she knew lip - reading, so she noticed that if it weren't for Feng Chi by her side, Feng Yao would have offended quite a few people today.
Compared with Feng Qing, Feng Yao was a bit smarter and more scheming, but she was also easily provoked and impulsive.
The Second Lady always thought her third daughter was better than the second. Presumably, it was because Feng Chi had been mediating for her. Otherwise, with Feng Yao's temper, she would have offended even more people.
Feng Yao and Feng Chi quickly finalized the members of their group. They were from three major families on good terms with the Prime Minister's Mansion, including a nephew of the Queen. Their strengths had all reached the level of Soul Masters.
That is to say, everyone in Feng Yao's group was a Soul Master.
The nephew of the Queen had the highest strength, at the sixth rank of Soul Master.
Another person in his mid - twenties was at the peak of the fifth rank.
Such strength was a great threat to most groups.
As the time of one incense stick was almost up, Feng Yuqin and the other two were standing at the edge, completely ignored.
It was really because Feng Yuqin's reputation as a good - for - nothing was too well - known.
Coupled with the decline of the Yan family over the years, in the eyes of everyone, the three of them were just three good - for - nothings.
Slowly, some people in the groups that had already formed started to talk about them.
"A good - for - nothing is really a good - for - nothing. No one is willing to team up with them?" someone in Feng Yao's team said contemptuously.
"They're destined to be a losing group. Who would dare to join them?"
"Knowing they're going to lose, it's better to sleep at home than to team up with them."
"It's really embarrassing." Xia Yujia, who had just successfully formed a team, heard these people talking about Feng Yuqin and said with a look of disgust.
"Cousin, there's no need to care about such people. Anyway, they're going to come in last," Meng Yuanhang beside her said indifferently.
Xia Yujia nodded. "That's right. We'll definitely get the quota to enter the trial ground today."
"A Qin, you're really calm," Yan Geng heard the voices of those people getting louder and louder, all saying that they were good - for - nothings.
Mostly they were talking about A Qin.
But seeing her so calm, as if they weren't talking about her at all, he was really impressed.
"Otherwise? Go up and argue with them?" Feng Yuqin asked indifferently.
Yan Geng: "..." If he could, he really wanted to argue with them.
Although he was usually frivolous, he was quite reliable at critical moments. So he understood that this wasn't the right time to argue.
"Second cousin, people have their own mouths. As long as they don't go too far, those who are just venting don't really need to be taken to heart. After all, strength will speak in the end," Feng Yuqin said confidently.
"A Qin is right, A Geng. You're just a bit impatient. You should learn from A Qin more often and temper your character," Yan Xiao said.
"A Qin..." Just as the three of them were chatting, Meng Xingyu's voice came from afar.
Feng Yuqin watched as Meng Xingyu ran in front of her. She asked curiously, "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to participate in the competition," Meng Xingyu replied.
"Didn't you say last time that you might not come? Why did you suddenly come?" Yan Geng asked curiously.
Feng Yuqin glanced at him and raised her eyebrows. "Don't tell me you came here because you heard that I didn't have a team?"
Meng Xingyu scratched his head embarrassedly. "You even know this."
Yan Xiao and Yan Geng: "..."
"Damn it. When did Meng Xingyu get so close to Feng Yuqin?" Feng Yao saw Meng Xingyu chatting and laughing with Feng Yuqin. Her face darkened.
"Maybe he's on good terms with the Yan brothers," Feng Chi said.
"How could the Meng family have a relationship with the Yan family?" Feng Yao was in a great mood when she heard those people talking about Feng Yuqin being a good - for - nothing.
But now that Meng Xingyu had come, it instantly ruined her mood.
"Sister, Meng Xingyu was injured and his strength has been stagnant for a long time. He's just relying on the Meng family. But today it's a group competition," Feng Chi's words made Feng Yao feel better.
As long as she saw Feng Yuqin in trouble, she would be in a great mood.
Many people knew that Meng Xingyu had been injured.
But few people knew that his injury had recovered.
So Meng Xingyu's appearance didn't make people optimistic about Feng Yuqin's group.
"There's only half a quarter of an hour left. Please form teams if your group members are not enough," the cold voice of the Third Elder rang out again.
Everyone looked at each other. Finally, they found that except for Feng Yuqin's group, everyone else was complete.
Xia Yujia gave Feng Yuqin a sinister look and then started to pick on the weak. She pointed directly at Feng Yuqin's group and asked, "Third Elder, their group doesn't have enough members. They should be disqualified, right? After all, they don't even have enough people. How can they participate in the competition?"
Some people had this thought but didn't dare to say it.
After all, no matter what, Feng Yuqin was the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Many people didn't know the situation of the Prime Minister's Mansion as well as Xia Yujia, so they could only vent their anger verbally but didn't dare to provoke Feng Yuqin like Xia Yujia did.
"Xia Yujia, you're looking for death," Meng Xingyu stared at Xia Yujia coldly.
"What? Can't I even raise a question?" Xia Yujia was so eager to drag Feng Yuqin down that she didn't care about offending Meng Xingyu.
Meng Yuanhang beside her kept giving Xia Yujia hints not to offend Meng Xingyu, but Xia Yujia still insisted. She looked at the Third Elder and the others, determined to get an answer.
Feng Yao and the others were gloating. She didn't like Xia Yujia because Xia Yujia was close to Feng Qing, and they were both good - for - nothings. But she disliked Feng Yuqin even more.
So now seeing Xia Yujia causing trouble for Feng Yuqin, Feng Yao couldn't hide the smile on her face.
"Miss Xia, the competition rules don't have such a requirement," the Third Elder of course didn't want Feng Yuqin to participate in the competition, but the rules didn't say that a group with insufficient members couldn't participate.
"The rules are made by people. I think groups with insufficient members like theirs should be disqualified from the competition," Xia Yujia said.
"Who said their group has insufficient members? I'll join," a female voice sounded outside the crowd.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.
When they saw who it was, a look of surprise flashed in their eyes.
The faces of Feng Yao, Xia Yujia and the others turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
