70 First Trial’s Results (2)

There were only the names of fifteen clans written in the pedestal with a nonagonal prism shape. Compared to the number of clans participating, it was a low number; yet it still was a surprising number to many and not because of the disparity between the total clans and the ones listed but because there were more clans listed than the ones knowledgeable people were expecting, and as Men Kun had said, many teams had done great. It was so good to various people that they couldn't comprehend why Men Kun was expecting more, how he could expect more if he surely had had his people thrown the high-level tokens in impossible places?

An Bing Qing began to read the list from below; they had gotten a low-level green token card at the beginning of this trial so An Family's name was bound to be written. Nonetheless, she didn't find their clan's name after reading the four last places that had acquired one green token card, making her stare at it with wavering eyes and pressed lips, 'Did something happen?' she thought inwardly.

Noticing his little sister change of face from the corner of his eyes, An Yu Yong said with a flat tone as he turned to look at the pedestal, "Read the fifth place".

"…" She turned to look at her eldest brother at his opening, only to see him not looking at her but forward with a face whose contained anger had yet to fade. Therefore, she looked back and locked her eyes on the fifth place; there, beside the number five, was written the An Family's character.

She raised her brows in surprise, 'The fifth place? And a blue token card?' According to the information listed, the An Family had got two green token cards and a blue one, adding together a total of thirty-five places. Because of the unbelief, she rubbed her eyes with her hands and read again, 'Our clan's name is indeed in the fifth place'; she hadn't read wrong.

Wanting it or not, An Yu Yong was still paying attention to his little sister's actions; he was the one in unbelief now.

'Sigh,' he heaved a sigh in his heart before voicing out as he turned to look at the pedestal again, "After you disappeared…" she turned to see him as she listened to him, "…we divided and by chance Xi Ming, who was one of the three persons that had gone back to look for you, found a green token card while Yi Kong found a blue token card as he followed Cheng Dong".

She nodded in understanding, turning back with a hand on her chest as she thought in relief, 'So, we can say that my escape was fruitful somewhat'.

And as if hearing what his little sister was thinking, An Yu Yong turned around, saying, "But those token cards only mean something because you have come back".

The relieved An Bing Qing shrank her head down at his words, she pressed her lips, 'Did I speak aloud?' she couldn't help but think before looking up at him sideways but she couldn't cope with his deep serious stare and quickly looked down.
