Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 1996 Official Competition 5

Some things were straightforward. All he needed was time.

When the time came, everything would naturally fall into place.

At that point, the four of them would lead a good life.

Trying to please them?

How absurd!

Bai Ruiguang thought to himself, stifling a chuckle.

However, he maintained a neutral expression on his face.

He simply replied, "I understand."

The head of the Bai family nodded, satisfied with his response.

He didn't dwell on the matter too much.

After all, it was a competition day. Ruiguang was competitive by nature, so it was normal for him to appear serious.

It was good that he possessed discipline and rationality.

Following that, Bai Ruiguang proceeded to join the competition.

Well…

In the preliminary rounds like these, it was relatively easy for someone of Bai Ruiguang's caliber to secure victories.

On the other hand, anyone unfortunate enough to be matched against him would feel quite unlucky.

While they might not emerge victorious in the end, it would still be beneficial for their family if they could win more rounds.

As the competition progressed, some participants emerged victorious while others suffered defeat.

A total of 20 individuals were selected as winners.

Among these twenty, Hong Fang, Wu Zimo, and Fu Huarong claimed four spots.

This outcome was beyond the expectations of many.

However, the unexpected had indeed occurred.

As they made their way out…

Passing by the crowd, the people's attitude towards them had noticeably changed. They either ignored their presence or regarded them with mocking glances.

Many individuals approached them with obsequious greetings, shamelessly trying to establish a connection and claiming past acquaintanceship.

The four of them responded politely but kept a respectful distance throughout.

Gu Chaoyan, observing their behavior, felt satisfied with their current stance. She remained silent and walked alongside them, her cold expression deterring anyone from approaching her.

By this time…

Wu Tian approached with a group of Wu family elders, wearing a proud expression on his face. "Zimo, Ziming, well done!"

"…"

"I never expected both of you to have already achieved the level of a martial artist. Why didn't you mention it earlier?"

"…"

"A few days ago, I tried to visit you, but the Bai family refused to let me see you. So I returned."

"…."

"After seeing you today, Father had a good conversation with both of you," Wu Tian stated.

"…"

"In the past, the head of the Wu family treated you strictly, hoping that you would be sensible. But now, the Wu family wants you to return home. I am getting old, so when you come back to the Wu family, you can take care of him," he continued, wearing a smile.

It seemed as if he held no grudges against their previous expulsion, and the severity of his words about not being a burden had vanished in a short period.

"…."

Wu Tian introduced the Wu family elder, saying, "This is your Uncle Wu. He came with me to bring you back."

The elder of the Wu family spoke kindly, "It's wonderful to see you both achieve the rank of martial artist. In the future, you can contribute to the Wu family. There are still more competitions ahead, and it would be beneficial for you to return early."

As he spoke, he discreetly assessed Gu Chaoyan, seemingly attempting to discern her cultivation level.

Indeed, the Wu family's attention was also directed at her.

"That's impossible," Wu Zimo firmly replied. "We cannot go back. Since we were driven out, our lives have no connection with the Wu family anymore. That is what the head of the family said."

"…"

"There's another competition tomorrow. We will be returning for now."
