Wu Tian smiled at them and said, "I'm sorry."
"I knew about the bell poison, but I didn't tell you. You won't blame me, will you?"
At this moment, the admiration these team members had for Wu Tian was like the endless flow of the Yellow River. How could they blame Wu Tian?
In the past, when they followed Ling Tengyun, they might not have truly respected him.
It was only because Ling Tengyun's status was higher than theirs that they had to obey.
But now that they had seen through Ling Tengyun's true colors and knew he was finished, they no longer had any reason to fear him.
On the other hand, their admiration for Wu Tian came entirely from their personal respect for him, and had nothing to do with status.
Everything Wu Tian had shown was enough to make them bow down in admiration.
At this moment, to them, Wu Tian was like a god, so they would never defy him.
Therefore, they quickly said, "Brother Wu Tian, please don't say that."
"If you say that, we really can't bear it!"
"You did this because you had your own considerations. Since that's the case, how dare we say anything more?"
"Besides, without you, we would have all been harmed by that scoundrel Ling Tengyun. You are like a savior to us."
"From now on, whatever you say goes, and we will definitely support you!" httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Seeing the light in their eyes, Wu Tian couldn't help but chuckle.
After all, not long ago, these people had been looking down on him along with Ling Tengyun, but now they had become his followers.
It was quite amusing to think about.
But the world had always been this way; if you were outstanding enough, people would eventually fall at your feet.
And if you were truly useless, then I'm sorry, you couldn't blame others for looking down on you.
Afterward, Ling Tengyun was taken away by the organizing committee.
The competition had also reached its conclusion.
The China team had successfully defeated the New Jianbo team and finally entered the finals.
Wu Tian did not stay to watch the subsequent matches, as they were predictable.
He was one hundred percent sure that the final match would be a showdown between him and Yagami Yuriko.
However, as he left, he didn't notice that Yagami Yuriko's gaze was fixed on him.
For the first time, a hint of contemplation appeared in Yagami Yuriko's dark eyes.
She seemed to want to say something to Wu Tian, but ultimately abandoned the idea.
The next day, Wu Tian received notification from the organizers.
As expected, the situation was exactly as he had imagined. Under Yagami Yuriko's overwhelming victory, the Bird Country team had advanced to the finals.
The final match was scheduled to take place three days later. Although the other members of the China team felt nervous, Wu Tian had no particular thoughts.
He stayed in his room, doing whatever he usually did, as if he didn't take the competition seriously.
In reality, it wasn't that he didn't care, but rather that he knew caring would be futile.
Yagami Yuriko's strength was undeniable. No matter how hard he thought, the match would proceed as it was meant to.
Instead of overthinking things, it was better to relax, as rest was more important than anything else.
However, while Wu Tian wanted to rest, there were clearly people who didn't want him to have an easy time.
On the afternoon of the second day of the break, Wu Tian was fast asleep when his door was suddenly knocked upon.
He woke up from his sleep, didn't think too much about it, and went to open the door.
However, the person standing at the door made him freeze.
There were several tall men in black, all wearing sunglasses. They exuded an oppressive aura, clearly arriving with a purpose.
Seeing this, Wu Tian's sleepiness vanished instantly.
He sized up the men in black and then asked with a frown, "Who are you, and what do you want with me?"
The leader of the men in black spoke Chinese and said, "Hi, are you Mr. Wu Tian? Our young lady would like to invite you over. Please come with me."
"Your young lady?" Wu Tian asked, confused, "Who is your young lady? I don't think I know any young ladies."
The man in black replied, "No, you definitely know her. We are from the Yagami family, and our young lady, like you, is a participant in this competition."
"You mean Yagami Yuriko?" Wu Tian was surprised and asked, "No, why is she looking for me, and with such a grand display? This clearly isn't a good thing, is it?"
The man in black said, "We don't know why the young lady is looking for you."
"You just need to come with us. As for other matters, you'll find out when you get there."
Wu Tian recalled that Yagami Yuriko had approached him before and spoken about the Medicine God, which made him wary.
He hadn't dismissed the matter after that encounter, but since Yagami Yuriko hadn't contacted him again, he hadn't paid it much mind.
However, it seemed that Yagami Yuriko was still persistent, otherwise, she wouldn't have sent so many people to find him.
Despite this being an invitation from Yagami Yuriko, Wu Tian had no intention of going.
After all, the matter involved the Medicine God, and Yagami Yuriko had close ties to the Divine Doctor Sect. If he went rashly, it might be dangerous for him.
Moreover, there was a very important reason: Wu Tian fundamentally disliked people from Bird Country.
Therefore, he directly shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I appreciate Miss Yagami's kind offer, but I have my own matters to attend to, so please allow me to refuse."
But the man in black said, "No, our young lady said you must come this time, so you'd better come with us. Stop talking nonsense."
The attitude of the men in black made Wu Tian feel displeased.
He continued to frown and said, "Nonsense? What do you mean nonsense? Don't I have the right to refuse?"
"She can invite me, but I can also refuse to go. I have no intention of obeying her."
"So, please go back. I will not go with you."
He had spoken quite firmly, but to his surprise, the man in black said coldly, "Matters like this are not up to you to decide."
"The Yagami family never fails to invite someone. If you don't come with us, then we will have to forcibly escort you."
