The elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect finally arrived after the many disciples had gathered in the courtyard. Enthusiastic voices filled the place, spreading excitement and joy.
Yuan Xingren has also come. He sat in the very front seat among the other elders. To his right and left were the seats of Rong Jian and Elder Peng.
"Sect Leader, shall we start now?" asked Gu Dongjiang, who was standing in front of Yuan Xingren. He was the elder who would be the referee during the competition.
Yuan Xingren didn't answer right away. He looked at the students watching from below the stage. His brow furrowed slightly.
"What is it, Master Yuan?" asked Elder Peng from the side.
"I didn't see Miss Xue and Young Master Bai. Aren't they coming?"
