The audience, who had been so excited to watch the competition, were already a bit disinterested.
After such a long wait, not to mention the audience in the audience, even Yan Hui on the stage lost patience, "Mr. Vice President, Mu is so playful about this competition. I don't think he wants this first place.
Why should we wait any longer?”
Ma Qichang also frowned and stood up immediately, "According to the rules of the academy, Mu, Zitong, and Yan Hui were supposed to compete in today's competition. However, Mu has been missing, so we will wait for the last moment.
If I count to ten and he doesn’t show up, then it will be regarded as a waiver. Ten, nine..."
In the audience, people became excited when they heard Ma Qichang start counting down.
Zi Tong also recovered her mind and prepared to start the game.
"Six, five, four..." Ma Qichang continued counting, "Two..."
He was about to say "one" when he saw a white shadow flash in the air, and a person landed below the high platform. He was wearing a white robe and lavender eyes. It was Mu.
His white robe was obviously stained with wind dust, as if it had been blown in the wind and sand all night.
"I'm late."
Mu spoke in a low voice, his voice slightly hoarse, and then coughed lightly.
"You are very lucky!" Ma Qichang shook his head gently, "If you show up a little later, we will treat you as a waiver. Now, go on stage and prepare to draw lots!"
Mu didn't make a sound, he just looked around, then turned and walked towards the steps. I don't know if it was because he was too tired or for some reason. When he went up the steps, he missed the step, staggered, and almost fell down.
However, fortunately, he stabilized his figure in time, and then stepped forward steadily step by step, and walked to the position between Zi Tong and Yan Hui on the high platform.
Ma Qichang raised his chin lightly, and the gentleman on the side immediately brought the three prepared lottery tickets to him.
"Look, everyone, there are two bamboo sticks with the word "Competition" written on them. One is an empty lottery. The one who draws the empty lottery can directly enter the competition for first place. If he wins the competition, he will have to compete with the other.
Those who won the lot will compete, the loser will be eliminated, and the winner will enter the first competition." Ma Qichang showed the three lots to everyone, and then put the lots into the bamboo tube, "In order to show fairness and justice, we
Please, the Lord of the City, personally preside over this draw."
He raised his hand and handed the bamboo tube to Lan Mo. Lan Mo stood up, held the bamboo tube and flew down to the audience. He was the first to land in front of Zi Tong.
"Zitong, work hard!"
"Thank you City Lord."
Zi Tong blinked, and the bamboo tube had already become transparent. She was optimistic about the blank sign without words. She raised her hand to pinch the bamboo stick and handed it to Lan Mo without looking at it.
Lan Mo took the signature from her hand, took one look at it, and immediately laughed, "No word signature!"
The absence of a signature means that there is no need to compete and one can advance directly. This result is very beneficial to Zi Tong, and Lan Mo is naturally very happy.
When Yan Hui heard Lan Mo say the words "no signature", his eyebrows stood up and he immediately raised his hand to point at the two of them.
"You cheated!"
"Miss Yan Hui." Lan Mo turned away displeased, "Don't talk nonsense about this matter."
He was the lord of a city and was accused of cheating in his own territory. How could the old man not be angry?
"In full view of everyone, we can all see clearly that the Lord of the City showed great affection for Zi Tong just now. She won the wordless lottery with one hand. Isn't it a hint from the Lord of the City?!" Yan Hui said loudly.
