71 Right!

"Aah…" Regretting having retrieved her sight as it demonstrated he was right with his guessing of her unsaid thoughts, An Bing Qing looked back at him wanting to say something to counter her eldest brother's words but she couldn't come up with anything good to argue back; she perfectly knew that if she hadn't come back not only her eldest brother but also her father would have gone mad.

An Yu Yong saw through her intentions and the hilarity of she not saying anything was quite something. Even so, as he could guess what was going through her head, he couldn't help but think that his little sister liked to get into trouble despite knowing what implicated; his face grew stern.

An Bing Qing closed her mouth and bit her rosy lips, she felt as if her eldest brother was reading her mind; it was a scary feeling that made her feel guilty.

Amid the silence that was built around them, Men Kun's voice rose again, "As you might have seen only fifteen clans passed this trial. Usually, the clans not listed wouldn't have the chance to participate in the following one but this time all the clans will take part in the second trial. Now, all of you take a good rest and we will see here the day after tomorrow at noon for the next trial rules".

A commotion rose within the clans, the rules of this Ghost Forest Competition were being completely changed. Even so, it was for the good of many, or so many people thought while little were trying to guess why.

"Men Kun, what is…"

"Men Hai, don't fret. I'm the one in charge so step aside". Men Kun hadn't identified the people he was ordered to get so he could only come with this countermeasure and ask for a second opportunity along with more details; his heart was uneasy.

"You…" Men Hai was left standing in place. Men Kun had already flapped his sleeves and was walking towards the elders of the sects, ignoring him completely.

"Tch", not having a word in Men Kun's decisions, Men Hai could only follow him and do as though nothing had happened.

The majority of clans stayed in the building around the platform to rest for a bit before going back to their inns while other didn't think it twice and dashed to their inns. An Clan's people was the latter.

They had obtained the fifth place while many other powerful clans hadn't even been included in the list so they wanted to get back to the Ancient Inn as soon as possible. Though, in fact, there was no much need to be worked up as the places already obtained couldn't be transferred even if they wanted to do it. Even so, caution was never bad.

An Family reached the Ancient Inn without trouble but An Bing Qing didn't think so as she was in trouble; her eldest brother hadn't seen her even once when they were in the carriage.

'Ugh… now what? Will he confine me in my room?' She was getting stressed more by the minute as they were walking through the second floor. However, An Yu Yong entered his room without saying anything and left her outside, 'Huh?!' She was confused.

'Haah, just what is it?' she squatted down with her hands covering her face, 'This is… argh, I would have preferred to get an earful instead of this'. She was losing her nerves. Nonetheless, it only lasted for a bit as she remembered when she was thinking of a way to appease and make happy her eldest brother, 'That list… Right! I need to find Zi Hui and tell him about the auction list…' she sprang to her feet at that thought.
