After saying that, Bai Chenxiang extended her right hand towards A'li.
A'li looked at Bai Chenxiang's outstretched right hand, a hint of surprise and emotion flashing in her eyes.
She quickly extended her own right hand and gently grasped Bai Chenxiang's hand.
"Young Sect Master, I am truly happy to receive your recognition."
A'li's voice trembled slightly, and she continued:
"I have always admired you. You are the pride of our clan and the goal of my efforts."
Bai Chenxiang smiled at A'li, her eyes full of encouragement:
"A'li, with your talent and hard work, you will surely become a pillar of our clan in the future. I look forward to your growth. Keep up the good work!"
A'li nodded heavily, a strong fighting spirit surging in her heart.
She secretly resolved to cultivate even harder and live up to the Young Sect Master's expectations.
"Young Sect Master, I will definitely work harder to bring glory to our family,"
A'li said firmly.
Looking at A'li's determined eyes, Bai Chenxiang was extremely happy and walked forward to give A'li a big hug.
"Okay, I believe in you. If you have any problems or need help in the future, come to me at any time."
A'li looked at Bai Chenxiang gratefully, her heart filled with warmth.
"Me too, I, Zhuge Lan, also believe in you!"
Zhuge Lan shamelessly opened his arms and slowly walked over.
A'li looked at Zhuge Lan approaching her with open arms, her face showing a sense of bewilderment.
From the conversation between Zhuge Lan and Bai Chenxiang's group just now, she could tell that Zhuge Lan's relationship with her Young Sect Master was definitely not ordinary.
However, she couldn't judge exactly what was going on and could only stand there blankly.
"Try hugging her!"
Bai Chenxiang said with her eyes closed tightly, her eyebrows furrowed, and in a tone that suppressed her anger.
Zhuge Lan immediately chickened out:
"I was just joking. Hahahaha."
Zhuge Lan touched his head on his own, trying to ease the embarrassment.
Looking at Zhuge Lan's innocent face.
Bai Chenxiang wanted to laugh, but she was also angry and helpless.
She had no choice but to look helplessly at Pei Xijun.
Pei Xijun was standing aside, watching the two quarrel with a maternal smile on her face.
Bai Chenxiang said to Pei Xijun helplessly:
"Xijun, look at him, he's always so frivolous."
Pei Xijun smiled and walked forward, teasing:
"Chenxiang, don't take him seriously. Zhuge Lan is just like that."
Zhuge Lan quickly nodded in agreement:
"Yes, yes, Xijun is right. Xiang'er, please be generous and don't be angry."
Bai Chenxiang rolled her eyes at him and said, "If you act so recklessly again, see how I deal with you."
Zhuge Lan quickly assured:
"There will definitely not be a next time, I swear."
Pei Xijun looked at the two and shook her head with a smile, saying:
"You two are really a pair of happy rivals."
Bai Chenxiang's face flushed slightly, and she said:
"Who is a happy rival with him?"
Zhuge Lan chuckled and said:
"I think so. Xijun, you think so, right?"
Pei Xijun smiled without saying a word.
As everyone chatted and laughed, the last few groups in the women's group also completed their matches one after another.
The loudspeaker once again made a very official announcement:
"The first round of the Extreme Challenge is now over. Please have each member of the advancing groups go to the preparation area to sign and confirm. The second round of the competition will be held at noon tomorrow."
"Speaking of which, Miss Xijun, since you won first place, you should treat us to a big meal to celebrate, right?"
Zhuge Lan said mischievously.
Pei Xijun also spread her hands helplessly:
"Okay, okay, let's go sign first, then go eat a big meal, okay?"
"Yay!"
Zhuge Lan and Bai Chenxiang shouted at the same time and jumped up to high-five, as if their plot had succeeded.
"Little Li sister, do you want to come with us?"
Zhuge Lan looked at A'li with a leering expression.
A'li's face turned slightly red, and she asked:
"I… can I go?"
"Of course!"
Zhuge Lan jumped up excitedly.
However, A'li ignored him and looked at Bai Chenxiang with expectant eyes.
When Bai Chenxiang heard A'li's question, she clapped her hands happily:
"Great! Of course, you can come! I couldn't wish for more. Let's all four of us go together! It will be lively!"
"That's right, that's right, let's quickly go sign and then go eat a big meal. I'm starving to death."
Zhuge Lan lightly pushed Bai Chenxiang towards the preparation area with his hand on Bai Chenxiang's back.
The four of them arrived at the preparation area. Pei Xijun was looking down, preparing to sign, when she suddenly felt a gaze fall on her.
She raised her eyes slightly and saw Lu Lingfeng wearing a black robe.
The black robe was as deep as ink, tightly wrapping his tall body, revealing a calm and restrained temperament.
In the sunlight.
The direct sunlight and the shadow blocked by his outline half-covered his face, revealing only a sharply lined chin, which carried a firm stubbornness when slightly raised.
The wide sleeves of the black robe swayed gently with his movements, as if he could unleash a mysterious power at any time.
He stood tall, large and majestic.
A pair of deep eyes flickered with a sharp light in the shadows, quietly looking at Pei Xijun.
Pei Xijun nodded slightly, revealing a polite smile:
"Young Master Lu, I have long admired your name. This is our first meeting, congratulations on advancing."
"Young Master Lu's extraordinary strength and outstanding demeanor displayed in the competition are truly admirable."
Lu Lingfeng returned a smile:
"Miss Pei is also exceptionally strong. Today's first place is well deserved."
"Young Master Lu is too kind. There are many experts in this competition, and I was just lucky."
"If I hadn't been lucky, then this first place should have belonged to Little Li sister, right?"
Pei Xijun said modestly, looking at A'li gently.
A'li lowered her head shyly:
"Not at all, I was just lucky to have the opportunity to tie for first place with Sister Xijun. Maybe Sister Xijun deliberately let me win."
Lu Lingfeng said with a smile:
"Both ladies are too modest. I, Lu Lingfeng, watched both of your matches from beginning to end, and your strength is beyond doubt. Presumably, tomorrow's second round will be even more exciting."
Pei Xijun nodded in agreement:
"Yes, I wonder if Young Master Lu has any preparations?"
Lu Lingfeng pondered slightly:
"I will just do my best, take it one step at a time, and adapt to the situation. What about Miss Pei? Do you have any strategies?"
"I don't have any good ideas either. This Extreme Challenge is full of variables, so I can only adapt to the situation."
Pei Xijun sighed softly.
Lu Lingfeng looked at Pei Xijun, a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
"Miss Pei is so intelligent that she will surely stand out in the competition."
Pei Xijun responded politely to Lu Lingfeng's compliment:
"Young Master Lu is too kind. I'm just doing my best. Young Master Lu is the real strong one, and I still need to learn a lot from Young Master Lu."
"Hahaha, Miss Pei is too polite, mutual learning is the key."
Lu Lingfeng said gently.
At this moment, Zhuge Lan and Bai Chenxiang came over with water.
Seeing Pei Xijun and Lu Lingfeng talking, Zhuge Lan couldn't help but tease:
"Yo, Miss Xijun, are you exchanging competition experience with this handsome man? Or are you exchanging life experience?"
