Hearing the murmurs of the crowd, the Ninth Elder let out a quiet sigh.
He had originally held some hope that Luo Cheng might reach the top three in the tournament.
But the battle between Fei Jue and Yan Qingshuang had completely dashed that notion.

Luo Cheng chuckled and said, "Master, actually…"
