"This old man is Zheng Zhan, the chief referee of this Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament."
Zheng Zhan introduced himself.
Su Yunlin snorted coldly. "Chief referee, right? Are your referees here just to eat for free? When a contestant felt unwell, even her opponent gave a warning, yet he remained completely unmoved. What exactly was he trying to do?"
Zheng Zhan was momentarily speechless. He also did not know what that lunatic had been doing. He glanced at the unconscious referee beside him. Right now, he could not ask anything either.
Xiao Ping also walked over and let out a breath of relief. They had almost caused a huge disaster. He was also one of the students who had gone to Shrek Academy to study back then, so he naturally knew the relationship between Xiao Hongchen and the person before him.
He also knew Su Yunlin and Tang Wutong. Just now, he had almost been scared into wetting himself. Originally, he thought he would be like his earlier teammates and be sent flying with a slap, at most sleeping for a while. In the end, an accident happened.
For some reason, Tang Wutong had started dry heaving, and her entire condition had become abnormal. If he had accidentally injured her, the meaning would have been completely different.
If he had accidentally injured her, the people of Tang Sect would no longer have any restraint. Moreover, the previous 2 team members had only fainted and had not suffered any real injuries.
Su Yunlin no longer paid attention to Zheng Zhan. "We lose this match. Next one, continue."
Su Yunlin carried Tang Wutong off the competition stage. Zheng Zhan let out a breath of relief. He looked at Su Yunlin's back with deep fear. Was this really pressure that a young man could produce? Too terrifying.
"Cough, cough. The third match goes to the Sun Moon team. Tang Sect, please send another contestant onto the stage."
Next, Huo Yuhao went onstage. Su Yunlin returned while carrying Tang Wutong, and everyone from Tang Sect immediately surrounded them.
"Wutong, what happened to you just now?"
Tang Wutong shook her head. "I don't know either. I just suddenly felt nauseous, and my whole body felt a little uncomfortable."
Jiang Nannan froze, then asked, "Wutong, have you been having this kind of reaction these days? Food hasn't tasted good, and you've even been wanting to eat something sour?"
Tang Wutong pondered for a long time. "It seems a little like that."
Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya exchanged a glance. They had roughly guessed something.
"Wutong, you might have it."
"What?!"
Tang Wutong and Su Yunlin were both shocked.
Jiang Nannan continued, "Judging from your symptoms, Wutong might be pregnant. But you should still find a physician to diagnose it."
"Good!"
Su Yunlin suddenly felt dazed. Tang Wutong had it. Did that mean he was going to become a father?
Tang Wutong gently stroked her belly and thought back carefully. Indeed, her monthly cycle had not come for some time. She had thought it was because of her irregular routine.
Before long, Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan brought over the tournament medical staff to examine Tang Wutong's body.
In the end, it was confirmed that Tang Wutong had already been pregnant for over a month.
Now Su Yunlin was certain. Tang Wutong had it. He really was going to become a father.
Tang Wutong touched her belly and pouted. "It came so early. I'm not prepared yet~ But it's Yunlin's child, hehe."
Su Yunlin hugged Tang Wutong. "Tongtong, thank you."
Tang Wutong held Su Yunlin's head and gently patted his back. "I'm here. I've always been here. I'll stay with you forever."
Su Yunlin kissed Tang Wutong's pretty face. "For the rest of the tournament, don't go onstage anymore. Leave everything to me."
Tang Wutong pinched Su Yunlin's face. "What's wrong? Are you treating me like a weak girl? Just now, I was clearly… Aiyo~"
Tang Wutong suddenly felt some discomfort in her belly, frightening Su Yunlin so badly that he trembled.
Tang Wutong touched her belly. This was the crystallization of her and Su Yunlin's love. Although they had not married yet, they had already had their families meet. They could simply make up the ceremony afterward.
Tang Wutong absolutely would not allow the slightest mishap to happen to Su Yunlin's bloodline.
Tang Wutong looked at Su Yunlin and said with a giggle, "This girl is pregnant now, so you have to make delicious food for me. I want sweet and sour pork ribs, sweet and sour tenderloin…"
Tang Wutong began wildly listing dishes, while Su Yunlin smiled and nodded in agreement. At this moment, Su Yunlin felt that he was the happiest person in the world.
After Huo Yuhao defeated 2 opponents, he stepped down. Immediately afterward, Xu Sanshi went up. After he defeated one opponent, Xiao Hongchen announced their surrender in the individual matches. He wanted to decide victory through the team battle.
But on Tang Sect's side, they surrendered the team battle, because Su Yunlin did not want to fight right now. He only wanted to stay with Tang Wutong.
Seeing that Su Yunlin and Tang Wutong could not participate, Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao discussed it for a while and decided to forfeit the team battle. After all, Xiao Hongchen was no simple character either. He would definitely go all out, and when the time came, they would expose even more things.
In any case, their points were enough, so they might as well preserve their strength.
Thus, the Sun Moon team and Tang Sect team each won one match.
Xiao Hongchen had originally been fully prepared to display his might in the team battle. Although he might be sent flying by Su Yunlin's slap, he still wanted to work hard and make Su Yunlin take him a little more seriously. In the end, Tang Sect did not fight the team battle.
This left Xiao Hongchen stunned.
After the match ended.
Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen went directly to Tang Sect's side to see what was going on.
After learning the truth, Xiao Hongchen was dumbfounded. "So, Tang Wutong is pregnant? Su Yunlin didn't want to fight, so you forfeited?"
The Tang Sect group nodded. The corner of Xiao Hongchen's mouth twitched. But when he saw Su Yunlin showing off his cooking skills nearby, he immediately understood.
"Heh, love really makes people crazy. Meng, look, Su Yunlin has already fallen hopelessly into the river of love. Meng? Are you listening to me? Meng?"
At this moment, Meng Hongchen was looking at Su Yunlin with deep affection. Hearts seemed to appear in her eyes. "Wow He can even cook. It smells so good Yunlin looks so handsome while cooking too~"
Xiao Hongchen felt a pain in his chest. His lovestruck younger sister was acting up again.
"Brother Xiao, are you alright?" Huo Yuhao patted Xiao Hongchen's shoulder.
"I'm fine. Just a little tired in the heart. Let's go out and talk."
The Tang Sect group and Xiao Hongchen left. Meng Hongchen shamelessly stayed behind to freeload a meal. In her words, Tang Wutong was unwell right now and needed a girl to take care of her.
But how could Su Yunlin let Meng Hongchen approach Tang Wutong? Meng Hongchen was poisonous. What if she poisoned his child? In any case, Meng Hongchen was not allowed near Tang Wutong.
Although the Beautiful Silk Tulip had extremely high poison resistance, a pregnant woman's body was very fragile. Su Yunlin would not allow even the slightest accident!
"Mm Yunlin's cooking is still so delicious. Ah-wu"
Tang Wutong ate wildly there.
Meng Hongchen also personally tasted the food Su Yunlin made, and it nearly made her ascend to heaven.
"So delicious!"
...
The elimination matches ended very quickly.
Next came the round-robin matches. In the end, Tang Sect's first-round opponent was still the Sun Moon team. Even worse, Tang Sect and the Shrek team were placed in the same group.
In other words, to fight for this group's qualification spot, Tang Sect and Shrek Academy were destined to clash.
It seemed that the Sun Moon Empire's officials had tampered with the grouping.
Xiao Hongchen looked at the round-robin grouping and rubbed his chin. "This tournament is a little different. It looks like something major has happened inside the country. You guys, go back and contact your families. After the tournament, Illustrious Virtue Hall will organize a trial.
"Bring your families and come train with me."
The Sun Moon team members did not quite understand. They were all elites selected by Illustrious Virtue Hall. Not many had deep backgrounds. Most were ordinary.
Xiao Hongchen guessed that if they lost this tournament, these people might not escape death. Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen might survive, but these team members might all be finished.
Xiao Hongchen did not want them to become someone's tools for venting anger. Instead, he wanted to pull them out if he could.
