81 : Queen!

The bustling atmosphere of the fishing river was alive with the sound of disciples training and competing, their focus on earning points and climbing the leaderboard. Ria and Eric, standing near the points table, couldn't help but be amused to see Lambu's name at the top.

Their moment of amusement was interrupted by the approach of a servant from the Autumn Wind Sect, the same one Eric had slapped on their first day. 

"What are you staring at? Your top rank already washed away. Look at the young man in thr river. He is on top now." she sneered. With a smug look, she taunted Ria about a powerful new competitor who had arrived the day before.

Eric and Ria exchanged a knowing glance before bursting into laughter, much to the servant's annoyance.

 "Why are you laughing?" she demanded.

"You'll see," Eric replied with a smirk.
