Chapter 439: Treat others in their own way
What?
They were really grouped together?!
On the large screen, Ye Fan's and Xu Xianglei's photos were successfully paired. The moment they saw this result, a hint of joy appeared in the eyes of many contestants.
This way, one of the two would definitely be eliminated.
Judging from the information alone, whether Ye Fan or Xu Xianglei, both were strong contenders for the top four. The fewer such strong opponents, the greater their chances of advancing.
Shen Li's fine brows lightly furrowed, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes. She turned her head to look at the expressionless Ye Fan, "Brother Ye, your opponent seems very strong, you must be careful."
Ye Fan didn't say anything, raised his hand and pointed at Ning Xi.
Shen Li was stunned.
What does that mean?
Ning Xi secretly took off one side of her mask, her small hand blocking in the direction of the camera, smiled charmingly and naively: "Gege, accompany me to practice Go tonight, okay? Sister Ziyi has been complaining that we don't report to the team. We definitely have to go sometime, there's a competition in October."
"Okay."
Ye Fan pulled away the girl's jade hand, readjusted the mask on her face, "No recording tomorrow, going to Sister Ziyi's place is also fine."
Their conversation left Shen Li completely bewildered .
Practice Go? Team? Competition?
What on earth is all this?
"What are you guys talking about?"
Shen Li stared at Ning Xi with eyes full of doubt, her fine brows lightly raised: "Aren't you worried about Brother Ye?"
"Not worried."
Ning Xi smiled lightly, her fair hand propping up her chin, prettily tilted her head up to look at Ye Fan's profile, her words light and graceful: "Xiao Li, although you are Gege's childhood sweetheart, in terms of understanding, you probably aren't as good as me. Gege is very formidable. As long as he is willing, no one can beat him."
Rather than saying believe, it's better to say blind worship.
Hearing this, Shen L was stunned.
Meeting Ning Xi's clear and flawless eyes, Shen Li finally understood the meaning of Ye Fan's action just now.
Seems like, unconsciously, she had lost to Ning Xi again...
Ye Fan smiled slightly, slowly stood up, "Neither of you need to worry, wait for my good news."
Plain words, yet filled with incomparable confidence. Paired with that sunny and handsome face, it was as if a celestial god had descended from heaven.
Four contestants ascended the stage.
He Dong walked over, smiled and said: "Tsk tsk, the collision between a number one seed contestant and a Genius List member, never thought the strong-versus-strong clash would begin in the first elimination round. I believe this match will definitely be very exciting."
Ye Fan smiled lightly, his whole body exuding an ethereal and light temperament.
Xu Xianglei, however, huffed coldly with disdain, his expression showing contempt.
To the left of the stage.
Looking at the imposing Ye Fan, Xia Jiuqi's eyes slightly lit up. She glanced inconspicuously at Jin Jueping and Pang Yunfei on her left and right, a plan gradually forming in her heart.
"Cough——"
"Teachers, how about we play a small game?"
Looking at the pure and captivating Xia Jiuqi, both Pang Yunfei and Jin Jueping were completely astonished, their hearts feeling blocked.
This is...
Treating others as they have treated you ?
Hiss!
Pang Yunfei, having tricked Jin Jueping just now, didn't give an immediate response.
Jin Jueping felt his temper rise, squinted his eyes and asked: "Little Xia, how do you want to play?"
Lose the person, lose the formation; but cannot lose the momentum!
Xia Jiuqi pursed her lips into a smile, "Let's guess who between contestant Ye Fan and contestant Xu Xianglei will win. The one who guesses correctly will have the right to pick one contestant first when selecting members later, how about it?"
"Good!"
A meaningful smile appeared on Jin Jueping's face.
He had seen Xu Xianglei's information, knew deeply Xu Xianglei's formidable ability in this maze event.
Pang Yunfei was also the same.
And Xia Jiuqi only flew to the Imperial Capital today, fundamentally had no time to understand these. The two silently looked at each other.
Pang Yunfei chuckled and spoke: "Little Xia, just now you won against us two. This time, how about you let us choose first?"
"No problem."
A trace of amusement flashed in Xia Jiuqi's eyes.
Really think she's young and doesn't understand anything?
Looking like this, she keenly sensed the two definitely knew some inside information, but she wasn't worried at all.
Don't know why, Xia Jiuqi had a strong confidence in Ye Fan. Intuition told her this young man was absolutely very strong. No matter how the two chose, she would choose Ye Fan. The agreement didn't say they couldn't choose the same contestant.
If Jin Jueping and Pang Yunfei chose Ye Fan, then she would also choose Ye Fan.
Conversely, if the two chose Xu Xianglei, she would still choose Ye Fan.
"I choose contestant Xu Xianglei."
"Me too."
After the two made their choices, their gazes landed on Xia Jiuqi's face.
Xia Jiuqi's crystal high heels rhythmically tapped against the floor, the jade legs under her skirt hem swaying captivatingly, "Since both teachers choose Xu Xianglei, then I'll choose Ye Fan."
Seeing the three made another bet, quite a few contestants chuckled secretly.
Never forget to create some buzz !
He Dong also turned to look at the three, caught between laughter and tears. Then he threw the topic to Ye Fan and Xu Xianglei. He walked to Ye Fan's side and handed him the microphone, "Regarding the bet made by the three guest judges just now, what does contestant Ye Fan think?"
Ye Fan's face was calm, not a single trace of nervousness could be seen on his face. He said composedly : "Quite good."
"And?"
"Nothing more."
"…"
Facing Ye Fan who cherished words like gold , He Dong helplessly handed the microphone to Xu Xianglei's mouth. Before he could ask, Xu Xianglei proactively spoke, his face full of arrogance: "No matter who the opponent is, the final victor will only be me!"
"Looks like contestant Xu is very confident."
After saying some polite words, He Dong hastily ended the pre-match interview, began to announce the competition rules.
"Later, staff will transport a honeycomb maze onto the stage. The maze is composed of one hundred hexagonal small rooms, each two square meters. Each room has six doors. Contestants will have one minute to memorize the correct route."
"After the competition begins, contestants will be blindfolded. Contestants need to rely on the memory in their minds to walk out of the maze following the correct route. The one with the shorter time advances."
"This event greatly tests the contestants' spatial ability, because once the direction deviates slightly, all previous efforts will be wasted."
"Bring on the props!"
Following He Dong's announcement, dozens of staff members quickly transported movable hexagonal small rooms onto the stage, then quickly assembled these small rooms together.
More than ten minutes later, a maze like a honeycomb appeared on the stage.
The contestants below the stage started discussing in low voices.
"This event doesn't look too difficult either."
"I also feel it's not difficult."
"But at the beginning, Teacher He said the third event was the most difficult one!"
…
He Dong walked to the edge of the stage, extended his right hand and pressed down. The recording site quieted down, "Just now I seem to have vaguely heard someone say this event isn't difficult?"
