Chapter 201 First Match, The Debut of New Shrek_1

Ning Fengzhi smiled at the corners of his mouth and nodded as Qin Xiao arrived.

Qin Xiao could understand; this was a crowded place, indeed not a place for lengthy conversations.

He nodded slightly, considering it a response.

"May I ask why Your Majesty has summoned me, what is the matter?" Qin Xiao asked directly.

Qian Renxue, with a gentle smile, said, "It's just that His Majesty the Thunder Emperor seems more suited to sit here."

What?

Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, a look of astonishment appeared on Qin Xiao's face. What kind of joke was this? He was a team member, okay?

However, with so many people around, he had to save Qian Renxue some face and couldn't speak too bluntly.

"I appreciate Your Majesty's kindness."

"It's just that I am but a commoner and don't have the right to sit here."

He politely refused.

However,

a mischievous spark flashed in Qian Renxue's eye, as if she hadn't understood Qin Xiao's words at all and, taking a few steps forward, pulled him to the seat.

"His Majesty the Thunder Emperor, there's no need to belittle yourself; how many in the entire Tiandou Empire can compare to you? So-called nobles are not worth mentioning."

"I have already reserved a place for you, please sit next to Sect Master Ning."

Uh... Qin Xiao was completely speechless.

He had no words for what Qian Renxue had said.

After a moment's thought, he still nodded and accepted Qian Renxue's request. He also wanted to see just what tricks Qian Renxue was playing.

"Well then, I shall humbly comply," Qin Xiao conceded.

"Good."

Qian Renxue, wearing a warm smile, called out, "Everyone, please take your seats as well."

After speaking, she took the lead and sat down.

In the VIP section at the very front, the three seats became four.

The second row then belonged to Dream Divine Machine and others.

However, they had no objections to Qin Xiao taking a seat in the front row.

After all, some of them had witnessed firsthand how Qian Renxue had secured the throne, largely thanks to this young man's intervention.

Now recalling Qin Xiao's unsurpassed elegance, they were still filled with admiration.

But many did not understand.

"Hey, who is that young man, and why is he sitting with His Majesty?"

"Now that you mention it, I've noticed something too. Beside His Majesty is one from the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, Sect Master Ning Fengzhi, and another is Salas, the Spirit Hall Platinum Bishop. Who's that young man, and what has he done to sit on an equal footing with these people?"

"Could it be he's the heir of some major power?"

"Pfft, you say he's the illegitimate son of the Pope of the Spirit Hall, he doesn't have the right to sit there either!"

"But the problem is, he's sitting there, isn't he?"

Many in the venue cast their eyes on Qin Xiao.

They were curious about his identity.

But this mystery wouldn't remain unsolved for long.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please let us welcome with the warmest applause the last team to enter the competition."

"They are the nine members of the Shrek squad from Blue Tyrant Academy."

At the same time, the announcer shouted with enthusiasm.

The entire audience was once again stirred up, paying no further attention to Qin Xiao, turning their gaze to the last competing team.

"Shrek, what a strange name?"

Many began to murmur.

However, when Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, Ah Yin, Meng Yiran, Jiang Zhu, Huang Yuan, Jing Ling, and others appeared, everyone was thrilled.

"Damn, it's actually a team of beauties!"

"They're so pretty; these girls are even more stunning than the Skywater Battle Team beauties!"

"..."

The many over-eager spectators, whistled lewdly.

But seeing Huang Yuan and Jing Ling after all, everyone felt it was a letdown.

"It's a pity, those two lads at the back really spoil the scene. They really shouldn't be on stage... it should be me instead."

Of course, although they found Huang Yuan and Jing Ling an eyesore, they were envious and wished to be in their place.

That's human nature.

Once Zhu Zhuqing and others stood firm on the stage, the announcer continued, "Ladies and gentlemen, please give another round of warm applause to these nine members of the Shrek squad!"

However, as soon as the announcer finished speaking, he realized something was amiss, "Wait, wait, why are there only eight people?"

Even in his mind, he checked quickly once again, and there were indeed no mistakes, only eight people.

So, the question was, where was the last person?

But as an experienced announcer, he knew it was not the time to fuss about the missing team member but to find a way to save the situation.

He immediately smiled and said, "Haha, you must all be aware that it's quite normal for a team of nine members to have eight people."

Laughter broke out below the stage.

Yet, the awkward atmosphere was diffused, followed by a warm applause.

However, some observant individuals noticed that the clothing of the Shrek people on the stage seemed familiar.

Subconsciously, they glanced at Qin Xiao, and suddenly they became somewhat unsettled.

"Hey, why? I feel the clothes of the person next to Sect Master Ning seem extraordinarily similar to those of the Shrek members?"

"Now that you mention it, I've also noticed the issue. Their clothes are not just similar, they're exactly the same."

"Is it possible then, that young man is a member of the Shrek squad?"

Some were full of doubts.

But, the next moment, their voices of skepticism were drowned out by a tide of opposing voices.

"What a joke, I've never even heard of the Shrek squad, do you think one of its members has the right to sit with His Majesty and great figures like Sect Master Ning?"

"Brother, you really dare to dream, I think you still don't grasp the concept of what kind of person gets to sit on an equal footing with His Majesty."
