Chapter 20 Saving the Situation Without a Familiar

Lucia was like a proud phoenix, coming to taste the fruits of her joy even under the scorching sun. She didn’t hide the mockery in her eyes and raised her chin provocatively.

“What are you doing here? I don’t have time to argue with you,” Cui Anyu said calmly.

Even though she was anxious like an ant on a hot pan, Cui Anyu’s expression was still as cold as ice, especially when she was facing someone like Lucia.

Lucia only thought that she was bluffing. She proudly admired her manicured nails and said, “Why are you so upset? I’m here to tell you that when the test begins, you are not allowed to enter except for the audience. Is your partner going to the stands?”

Cui Anyu ignored her and tightened her grip on her phone.

“Tsk, tsk, I advise you to go in and get ready. Otherwise, even you will lose your qualification.” Lucia was not forgiving. Seeing that Cui Anyu was unmoved and rebellious, she wanted to anger Cui Anyu even more.

She pulled Han Nan, who was about to leave, and introduced him. “I happen to have nothing to do. Let me show you my partner, Han Nan, A-class giant tree. What’s the background of your partner?”.

As Lucia spoke, she circled around Cui Anyu, making it impossible for the latter to ignore her.

Cui Anyu and the others’ line of sight was blocked, and they only wanted to send her away as soon as possible. “My partner is my deskmate.”

Lucia grinned and said, “Deskmate means…he’s of the same level as you and only awakened his subdued beast talent two days ago, right? Doesn’t that mean he doesn’t even have a subdued beast?”

That’s right!

After Lucia said that, Cui Anyu remembered the most important thing. Yu Guang’s subdued beast bait had been eaten by her. If he, a beastmaster without a subdued beast, were to participate in the combat test, he would be no different from the audience who had entered the arena. He would only stand there and take a beating.

Cui Anyu had a bad feeling. She lowered her head to check her phone, but there was no missed call from Yu Guang. The other party might not know that she was looking for him. Maybe Yu Guang went to look for his familiar.

If that was the case, it was understandable that he couldn’t make it in time. Now, Cui Anyu hoped that Yu Guang wouldn’t show up.

After thinking through all this, Cui Anyu stopped waiting at the door and turned back to the sports field.

As a girl, Lucia could naturally guess what Cui Anyu was thinking.

She hurriedly pulled Han Nan to catch up, then she continued to add fuel to the fire. “Why aren’t you waiting? If you participate alone, don’t blame us for fighting two against one! Or maybe your deskmate really doesn’t have a familiar? Hahaha, don’t be too sad. Losing to me isn’t a bad thing.”

“Even if it’s a one against two, I won’t lose,” Cui Anyu said calmly.

She would never run away from a fight. Even if she couldn’t win against two people, it was still good to win against one!

Lucia continued to whisper into Cui Anyu’s ear, “Hey, hey, if you say something nice now, I’ll help you find a partner. I just kicked out one of from my group. That person’s strength isn’t bad either. Don’t say I’m bullying you when the time comes.”

She didn’t like Cui Anyu because Cui Anyu had stolen the limelight as soon as she entered. The chief even gave her the green light. She was definitely a little unhappy, but when she saw that Cui Anyu was stood up by someone, she felt that she was a little pitiful. Her hostile feelings somewhat calmed down now.

However, Cui Anyu didn’t appreciate her kindness and said disdainfully, “Didn’t you say that you can’t affect unity? Then what’s wrong with you kicking people out? Have you ever considered the feelings of the person you kicked out?”

OT

“That’s right, that’s right.” Han Nan couldn’t help but agree. He felt helpless about Lucia’s attitude.

“Shut up! Who’s your partner?!” Lucia said angrily. She was already angry enough after being mocked by Cui Anyu, but she was also backstabbed by her teammate.

She gritted her teeth and pointed at Cui Anyu. “You dare meddle with me? I gave you a chance, but you didn’t accept it. I’ll teach you a lesson later!”

Cui Anyu did not want to have a war of words with her at first because it would only make her angry. However, Lucia was used to being arrogant, and her fingernails were almost touching her eyeballs.

Cui Anyu’s almond-shaped eyes were filled with anger, and she stopped in her tracks to confront her.

Han Nan, who was standing at the side, didn’t dare move. He only felt that there were invisible sparks between the two girls, and the sparks were about to splash onto his face.

“Who do you think I should call?”

A low male voice broke the silence. The three of them turned their heads and saw a handsome and tall man walking over from afar. He was wearing a simple sportswear, and his pants were still stained with mud.

The moment she saw him, the stone in cui Anyu’s heart dropped, and another stone hung in the air. He didn’t have a familiar, so wouldn’t he be making a fool of himself by coming here?

Yu Guang hurried over and finally arrived at the location Cui Anyu had mentioned. As soon as he arrived, he heard someone provoking Cui Anyu. After all, they were classmates. How could she let outsiders bully her?

“Why are you here?” Cui Anyu grabbed Yu Guang and pulled him to the side.

Yu Guang was already prepared to stand out, but she suddenly interrupted him, making him confused. “Didn’t you ask me to come? I’m not late, am I?”.

Cui Anyu didn’t know how to explain herself. She asked, “I called you to turn off your phone. Did you go out to look for your subdued beast?” “No,” Yu Guang answered truthfully

This time, the stone hanging in Cui Anyu’s heart was stuck in her throat. A beastmaster without a subdued beast would just be a sitting duck.

She didn’t have time to explain further and hurriedly pushed Yu Guang out. “What are you doing? Aren’t you going to take the test? I ran a long way to get here!” Yu Guang was also confused. Women were really fickle-minded, wanting and not wanting a thing at the same time.

“Where are you guys going? The test is about to start!” Lucia blocked the two of them. Cui Anyu pushed her to the side, but she refused to let the two of them leave.

Han Nan, who was silent, could not stand it anymore. “Stop fooling around! If everyone is here, let’s go! Otherwise, we won’t be able to enter!”

Of the four people here, two were competing and one was a foil. He was the only one who was simple-minded and wanted to get better results. In the future, he would have more choices and be assigned to a less busy area.

Therefore, he valued the combat test very much and was willing to accompany Lucia. Doing that would also benefit him. If he had known that they were dawdling, he definitely would not have come!

“Let’s go!” Lucia raised her thumb and taunted.

Cui Anyu felt uneasy and wanted to push Yu Guang away. She opened her mouth and was about to say something when she heard Yu Guang say, “Let’s go.”

Yu Guang felt that Cui Anyu was probably angry with him and wanted to chase him away. Therefore, it was best for him to be proactive and gentle and let her pass the test

first.

After saying that, he hesitated for a moment and held Cui Anyu’s wrist as they walked in.

Cui Anyu’s face turned red, but she didn’t have the time to be shy and pulled Yu Guang back as she said softly, “You don’t have a familiar yet. You’ll only get beaten up if you go in. It’s better not to go.”

“It’s fine. Trust me.” Yu Guang smiled confidently and continued to pull her forward.
