Although Ling Xiaoyu was very reluctant, Lin Xiaoqing had already announced her forfeiture. According to the competition rules, Ye Qingchen had indeed advanced.
"Senior Brother Ling Xiaoyu, aren't you going to announce the result?" Xiao Xiao was elated. In her heart, she believed that even if they had truly fought, Ye Qingchen would have advanced easily. Advancing this way, however, made her even happier. Seeing the disgusted expression on Ling Xiaoyu's face, as if he had swallowed a fly, made her feel a secret thrill of delight.
Ling Xiaoyu sighed but stood up and announced loudly, "The Sect Leader of the Yuhua Sect, Lin Xiaoqing, has voluntarily forfeited the match for personal reasons. Therefore, I declare the winner to be Ye Qingchen of the Qingyun Sect! Today's matches are now over. The final round of the individual tournament will be held tomorrow morning!"
