To the Quarterfinals (4)
"Qin Xiangmei! Xiyadie! To the stage!"
Finally, Elder Maomao called for the last pair of contestants. Xiyadie was already a big name, and just having her called would cause the entire venue to erupt in loud cheers.
Quinlan was confused as to why this phenomenon was happening to her and not to him, but he didn't care much about it either way. They simply cheered her on as she came up on stage, not wanting to lose to the enthusiasm of the crowd.
Before Xiyadie, who was waving toward the crowd like some humble celebrity with a troubled expression, stood a fierce-looking beauty. She had golden hair tied in twin buns on either side of her head. Her blue eyes glared at Xiyadie as the two wooden daggers in her hands spun round and round as if she couldn't wait for the fight to begin.
"You've gotten famous, newbie." Qin Xiangmei grinned. "However, this is the end of it! I'll be the one entering the quarterfinals!"
