Chapter 125: Chapter 124: League 10, The Prince is Such a Nice Person

Qu Tong and his team were resting and preparing dinner when they unexpectedly encountered the first-place team.

The members of Fei Wenxing’s team, who had been sitting on the ground, all stood up and entered combat readiness.

Both Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao had hostility in their eyes, but Qu Tong calmly put down the spoon in his hand and switched the stove to simmer before standing up.

"Really now, I never expected a trash team like yours could make it to sixth place. Did someone take a shortcut?" Ouyang Linna sneered as she glanced over at Fei Wenxing’s team, her suggestive gaze resting on Qu Tong.

"Ouyang Linna, don’t forget the competition is being broadcast live. Do you want to listen to what you’re saying?" Cheng Yao held Fei Wenxing back and warned first.

Ouyang Linna snorted coldly, her disdain still apparent, but she refrained from saying anything further out of line.

Qu Tong signaled with his eyes for Cheng Yao and Fei Wenxing to remain silent; their temperaments were too impulsive, easily ignited.

It’s not that they were bad, but in situations with significant power disparities, they were likely to be at a disadvantage.

Ouyang Linna was cautious, but Lan Xingye was not, speaking sharply, "Really though, your team might not be strong, but you have a lot of connections. Who knows?"

"If you want to know, why don’t you ask His Highness yourself? He’s so nice, he’d surely love to answer you," Qu Tong spoke with a hint of laughter.

"Pfft!" Cheng Feng, who was watching the live broadcast with Si Yuting in the command center, sprayed out his water.

He stared in disbelief: "Who told Sister-in-law that you, boss, are a nice person?"

As a Grand Marshal in the Imperial military, second only to Commander Gong, Si Yuting was never easy-going in front of others.

Moreover, what Si Yuting hated most was people like Lan Xingye who flouted Imperial Laws and acted recklessly with the backing of the Alchemist Association.

God, saying he’s nice, Sister-in-law is blatantly lying, isn’t she?

This was clearly telling others to go ask directly if they dared, and if they couldn’t, to shut up.

Sister-in-law’s gentle yet resolute nature was really invigorating.

Feeling Si Yuting’s gaze, Cheng Feng’s spine chilled, and he hastily said with a forced smile, "I’ll tidy up right away, right away."

It was a good thing he was sitting far from the screen; otherwise, he’d surely have been thrown out by the boss.

But how could the boss watch expressionlessly as Sister-in-law praised him for being good?

Didn’t his conscience hurt?

During the live broadcast, with just one sentence from Qu Tong, Lan Xingye was completely provoked and almost resorted to violence.

Who didn’t know about the time when he, naive and fearless, blocked and questioned Si Yuting for rejecting his sister’s kindness and ended up being flung away by Si Yuting’s spiritual power, spending half a month in the Healing Chamber?

The event even made the news, and the Royal Family only provided some resources as compensation, not a single apology from Si Yuting.

Lan Xingye wanted to directly eliminate Qu Tong’s team but was stopped by Lan Weiying.

It was only the third day; although eliminating them wasn’t against the rules, with so many viewers watching, it wasn’t favorable for them.

They had plenty of time to eliminate them later, so why bother with this unfavorable conflict now.

Lan Weiying’s elegantly furrowed brows looked toward Qu Tong, her voice cool, "Are you really F-rank in Physique?"

She found it hard to believe anyone could be so lucky, even if their team had Song Nuan and two others with double SS-rank spiritual power, and had encountered so many Star Beasts.

Although their team had 8400 points, placing first, 5000 of those points had come from a single sixth-level Star Beast.

And Qu Tong’s team, lacking the strength to fight a sixth-level Star Beast, had still managed to score so high.

"Hmm~" Qu Tong rested his hand on his chin, pondering seriously, then asked, "Is it possible that the Genetic Bank confused my data with another baby?"

Lan Weiying did not expect Qu Tong to react this way.

However, this reminded Lan Weiying and the audience watching the screen.

Qu Tong’s parents had low fertility values, so Qu Tong was born in a Genetic Bank through in vitro fertilization.

The Genetic Bank is the most authoritative genetic testing institution, basically eliminating the possibilities of mix-ups or fraudulent data.

Even if there were confusion with another baby, the data tested at the age of 5 for enlightenment and 18 for adulthood would be sent to the database to correct the fundamental information.

Lan Weiying took a deep look at Qu Tong and led Lan Xingye and the others to rest on the other side of the forest.

Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao felt slightly uneasy.

They had been struggling to kill the Star Beast for the past few days, only to be spoken about like that.

Even though their brother also came to the competition as an instructor this year, they hadn’t contacted him since they arrived.

Qu Tong quirkily raised an eyebrow at Fei Wenxing, "Your brother came too?"

She only knew that Cheng Feng was here, but she was unaware that Fei Wenxing’s brother had also come.

"Yes." Fei Wenxing nodded, sullenly said, "He’s working as an instructor at the Fourth Military Academy."

Qu Tong patted the shoulders of the two, whispering comfortingly, "Lighten up, just think, even if he takes first place, it’d still be hard for him to advance."

Fei Wenxing was startled, his mood instantly brightening.

"Hahaha, Sister Tong, you’re right," Cheng Yao laughed along.

"What are you guys laughing about?" Xu An saw the trio laughing and asked curiously.

"Laughing at Lan Xingye, that loser scoring at the bottom of the class every final exam," Fei Wenxing said out loud without any reservations.

"Ah? Didn’t expect him to look decent and be somewhat capable, yet still be an academic failure," Rong Yueqing, unfamiliar with the situation, eagerly joined in.

"That’s right, and let me tell you, last year..." Fei Wenxing started his gossip journey unabashedly.

The atmosphere lightened and became more harmonious again.

The viewers watching the livestream nearly burst out laughing.

[The Prince Consort knows how to comfort people.]

[Lan Xingye: How presumptuous of you all.]

[Help! They’re still not far away, is this really okay?]

[It might be slightly impolite, but it’s really funny.]

[Have to say, the third young master of Lan has severe selective deficiencies, second to last place, haha.]

While everyone laughed and enjoyed, Qu Tong considered whether to take down their first place.

But with the capabilities of Song Ke and the others being inadequate and the risk of encountering danger, it would expose her, so she decided to wait for the second round.

Tonight while Song Ke kept watch, Qu Tong, worried that Lan Xingye and the others might take some action, did not sleep, but rather leaned against a tree trunk, closed her eyes to meditate, and extended her spiritual power to stay aware of the surroundings.

With the moon bright and scarce stars, the night calmed down, and the flickering firelight reflected softly on Qu Tong’s fair, jade-like cheeks.

As 10 pm passed, the micro-livestreaming orb also entered sleep mode.

A gaze lingered on Qu Tong’s face for a while before shifting away, soon followed by faint noises.

Only after the figure had moved some distance did Qu Tong open her bright eyes, pensively watching the silhouette that had blended into the darkness.

About ten minutes later, Song Ke returned, settling back beside the campfire, stirring and adding some wood to make the fire burn brighter and warmer.
