**Chapter 1517: Sis, Why Are You Blushing?**
Returning to the lakeside, Lin Moyu resumed his usual routine. His gaze was calm as he looked towards the sky.
The direction he was looking at was where the palace of Saint Hao and others was located.
Although he couldn't see anything, he just wanted to take a look.
"I wonder how my sister is doing."
He knew very well that advancing to the God Sovereign realm was not something that could be achieved overnight. It could take months if fast, or decades to centuries if slow. The duration and success depended on the individual.
However, with Saint Wu and others present, Lin Moyu didn't need to worry.
A fragrant breeze wafted over, and Lin Moyu looked towards the source of the scent, seeing Qing Fei and Qing Xiaoxiao walking over.
Qing Fei was valiant and heroic, her entire being like an unsheathed sword, exuding sharpness.
Her steps were powerful, and her gaze was firm.
Beside her, Qing Xiaoxiao followed closely, glaring fiercely at Lin Moyu when she saw him.
It was clear that she still held a grudge against Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu calmly said, "530," "Senior Sister Qing, do you need something?"
Qing Fei slightly bowed towards Lin Moyu, "Qing Fei is here to thank you on behalf of my younger sister. Thank you, Junior Brother Lin, for showing mercy."
Lin Moyu sat down in the pavilion, the tea he had brewed earlier had already cooled, so he started brewing tea again and said, "It was just a small matter, Senior Sister Qing doesn't need to mind."
Qing Xiaoxiao wrinkled her little nose, still looking proud and defiant, "Hmph, who needs his mercy? In the competition, he couldn't kill me anyway. At most, it would have been a loss."
Qing Fei lightly tapped Qing Xiaoxiao on the forehead, not holding back. Qing Xiaoxiao yelped in pain, clutching her head with tears streaming down her face.
Qing Fei sternly scolded, "Even if he couldn't kill you, he could have seriously injured you. Do you not want to participate in the round-robin tournament?"
Indeed, someone like Qing Fei could see clearly that the round-robin tournament was the most important part.
Those who couldn't make it to the top 16 would ultimately focus on the round-robin tournament.
Using all their strength in the first two rounds, even at the cost of injury, was foolish.
Qing Xiaoxiao seemed very afraid of her sister, and under the pressure of their bloodline, she didn't dare to say much.
Qing Fei said, "Regardless, we must thank Junior Brother Lin. This was my sister's first real fight, so her words might have been a bit thoughtless."
Lin Moyu understood that Qing Xiaoxiao had likely told Qing Fei about what happened earlier.
Lin Moyu chuckled, "At that time, I was curious about her talent, so I deliberately thought a few things. Please don't take offense."
Qing Fei shook her head, "I never doubted Junior Brother Lin's character. Including the two lessons on Fire Seed Island, I also remember them well."
Lin Moyu, thick-skinned, said, "Actually, occasionally suffering a loss isn't a bad thing."
At this moment, Qing Xiaoxiao seemed to think of something, her big eyes turning, "By the way, you're only at the fourth rank of the God King realm, and I'm at the ninth rank. According to human rules, shouldn't you call me Senior Sister?"
Lin Moyu straightforwardly said, "Indeed, that's correct. What guidance does Senior Sister Xiaoxiao have?"
Qing Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment. How could he call her so straightforwardly?
Shouldn't he be angry first and then refuse to call her?
This reaction was different from what she had expected.
Qing Fei suddenly laughed, "See, your little tricks were seen through by Junior Brother Lin long ago."
At this moment, the fragrance of tea wafted over, and Qing Xiaoxiao's nose twitched, "Wow, it's Enlightenment Tea."
Qing Fei also smelled the fragrance of Enlightenment Tea, and within the aroma, there was a faint hint of the laws, a characteristic of Enlightenment Tea.
Lin Moyu extended an invitation, "Senior Sister Qing, Senior Sister Xiaoxiao, would you like to join me for tea?"
The two didn't stand on ceremony and walked directly into the pavilion.
Lin Moyu wasn't surprised that Qing Xiaoxiao could recognize Enlightenment Tea.
The Qing family certainly had God Sovereigns, and as the little princess of the family, Qing Xiaoxiao naturally often interacted with God Sovereigns.
She must have had Enlightenment Tea before, and probably more than once.
This also showed that the Qing family's rules were not as strict as some families in the Divine City. The Yu family and the Xu family he had encountered had very strict rules.
They imposed many restrictions on the younger generation, with clear hierarchies.
After sitting down, Qing Fei didn't let Lin Moyu do the work. Instead, she naturally started brewing the tea.
Her movements were skilled and full of Dao charm, indicating that she often did this in her family.
And she had been doing it for a long time, far longer than Lin Moyu.
After all, Qing Fei was at least a few hundred years old, living dozens of times longer than Lin Moyu. Some things, unlike cultivation, couldn't be compared.
Qing Xiaoxiao drank the tea and exaggeratedly exclaimed, "This tea seems better than Grandpa's."
Qing Fei was a bit surprised. She first smelled the tea, then tasted it, and her eyes lit up, "Indeed, it's better than Grandpa's tea."
"I didn't expect Junior Brother Lin to have such good tea. This kind of tea either grows in dangerous places in the great world or is a treasure in the ancestral lands of various races."
Lin Moyu casually said, "It was a gift from a senior."
Qing Fei didn't pursue the matter further and changed the topic, "Junior Brother Lin should know that for those who don't make it to the top 16, the round-robin tournament is the most important competition."
"Do you know the competition format for the top 16?"
Lin Moyu shook his head, "I don't know."
Qing Fei said, "The rules for the Four Star Regions Competition change slightly each time. But the rules will eventually be exhausted, and every few decades, they will form a cycle."
"I have some guesses and would like to share them with Junior Brother Lin as a token of gratitude for your mercy."
Qing Fei wanted to repay the favor with information, showing that she didn't like to owe favors. Lin Moyu smiled, "I'd love to hear it."
Seeing Lin Moyu agree, Qing Fei smiled, "I think the top 16 contestants are likely to compete in three formats."
"First, the simplest, one-on-one matches, with the winner advancing and the loser eliminated."
"Second, like the other contestants, a round-robin tournament."
"Third, a team competition, dividing the contestants into four or eight groups for a team battle."
"However, since the other contestants are using a round-robin format, it's less likely that the top 16 will also use a round-robin format."
"And this time, with outsiders coming to watch, I think one-on-one matches are the most likely."
"Junior Brother Lin, do you think this makes sense?"
Indeed, what she said made sense. Lin Moyu had considered this and discussed it with others, and their thoughts were similar.
But Lin Moyu also had his own ideas, "I've heard that in some editions of the Four Star Regions Competition, multiple formats were combined."
"And in some editions, they used secret realm exploration."
Qing Fei shook her head, "Multiple formats combined is possible, but unlikely."
"As for secret realm exploration, it has happened before, but it's very rare and probably won't be used this time."
"Regardless, we should be prepared for anything."
As she spoke, Qing Fei poured tea for Lin Moyu, her pretty face blushing slightly.
It wasn't because she was shy but because she felt a bit embarrassed.
She had come to repay the favor, regardless of whether Lin Moyu wanted it or not.
In fact, what she said wasn't very useful to Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu still accepted it calmly, acknowledging that she had repaid the favor.
This made Qing Fei feel even more embarrassed.
Qing Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, didn't understand anything. She just drank tea, enjoying the wonderful taste of Enlightenment Tea. Suddenly, she widened her eyes and stared at Qing Fei, "Sis, why are you blushing?"
