Chapter 1116: Chapter 1116: About the Tournament; Good Night
After Su Yunling set the dishes, he laid out two sets of tableware. Gu Zhiqi, seeing this, paused slightly on her way to the sofa, "Brother, you haven’t eaten yet either?"
Su Yunling softly replied, "Mm." After responding, he added an explanation, "I was a bit busy today. I just managed to come over, and unexpectedly, I coincidentally ran into you waking up."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiqi secretly clicked her tongue.
Came across her just as she was waking up?
Obviously, he knew she had just woken up not long ago.
If he didn’t check on her earlier, how would he know she just woke up?
"Oh." As if she believed him, she softly responded and sat down by the table.
After finishing the meal, Su Yunling didn’t leave immediately but instead talked to Gu Zhiqi about her current place of residence, "This is the Yun Family, my maternal home. You can rest assured and stay here for a few days. I am staying right next to your room, so if you need anything, feel free to ask me anytime."
Gu Zhiqi nodded.
But in her heart, she was making wild guesses.
She remembered there was a Su Family in the Ancient Martial Arts World, and she originally thought Su Yunling was from that Su Family. Now it seems he might not be, or, perhaps he isn’t from the direct lineage of the Su Family, hence he stays with the Yun Family.
Unaware of Gu Zhiqi’s speculations, Su Yunling began telling her about the Ancient Martial Arts World, and mentioned the annual grand competition of the Ancient Martial Arts World.
Every place has its powers, and the Ancient Martial Arts World is no different.
The Ancient Martial Arts World has a total of nine major powers, comprised of four top-tier families and five organizations.
The four top-tier families are the Fu Family, Yun Family, Su Family, and Feng Family.
The five alliances are the Qianji Alliance, Law Enforcement Hall, Martial Arts Alliance, Immortal Medical Alliance, and Mystic Alliance.
The annual grand competition of the Ancient Martial Arts World is held after discussions among these nine major forces, with the aim of recruiting newcomers.
The competition begins at the start of November each year and wraps up at the end of December, lasting a full two months.
The competition is divided into several tracks. Participants wishing to join a particular force may register to compete in the event hosted by that force.
Each track has different contest content, such as medical skills, alchemy, fragrance refining, Ancient Martial Arts, and formation.
After the competition concludes, the rankings for each track will be released. Those who make it to the rankings, upon passing the review, can join the corresponding force. The higher the rank, the easier it is to get in, with abundant resources and bonuses also available.
Upon hearing about the generous bonuses, Gu Zhiqi shamelessly felt tempted.
"You’re not in a hurry to leave the Ancient Martial Arts World, right?" After finishing the topic of the competition, Su Yunling suddenly asked Gu Zhiqi this question.
Gu Zhiqi immediately shook her head.
"Tomorrow..." once realizing it was already midnight, Su Yunling corrected himself, "Today is the first day of the competition. After you attend to Grandfather Fu, I’ll take you to have a look at the competition site."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiqi randomly nodded, but her attention was no longer on the bonuses but rather on what Su Yunling said about today.
At this point, she also remembered that it was already midnight.
She had slept enough after being in a coma for so long. She wasn’t sleepy at all, but Su Yunling was different.
It was evident that he had been staying up late until this moment.
"Isn’t it late? Brother, aren’t you going to sleep?" Gu Zhiqi looked up and asked Su Yunling.
Su Yunling: "Why, feeling sleepy?"
Gu Zhiqi nodded.
It wasn’t that she was sleepy, she thought he was.
Su Yunling lowered his head, glanced at his wristwatch, and found that it was already past four in the morning, "Alright, then you should sleep. Brother will sleep too."
Saying this, he got up and walked towards the door.
Reaching the door, before closing it, he said to the inside of the room, "Good night, child."
Sitting on the sofa, Gu Zhiqi slightly raised her eyes, looked at Su Yunling, and said, "Good night, brother."
The door closed, and the room fell into silence, leaving Gu Zhiqi feeling the room was quite empty.
Staring at the doorway for several seconds, Gu Zhiqi then withdrew her gaze and took out her laptop.
