(Some book friends cursed me for leaving them hanging, but isn't that a regular tactic of authors here... emmm... However, let's forget about it. Author Germ will add an extra chapter for everyone over the weekend to finish the plot of the martial arts tournament, and start a new case on Monday!)
…
Xia Qianyue not interested in the position of Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch?
But she wants to spar with Wu Shentong and claims it's just for practice.
To outsiders, it looks like she's putting on an act.
You say no with your lips, but your actions scream yes!
Claiming no interest in the Alliance Hierarch position and yet planning to challenge Wu Shentong?
If you win, wouldn't the position of Alliance Hierarch still be yours?
Are you going to feign surprise and say something like, "Oh dear, I really didn't want to be the Hierarch, but since I beat Wu Shentong, I guess I have to take the position"? Is that the plan?
Hypocritical!
Cunning!
