When Chu Chen stepped out of the Trial Tower, all eyes fell upon him.
These gazes carried envy, jealousy, admiration, and disdain.
Seeing this, Chu Chen dared not linger in place and quickly went to where Lu Hongfei and the others were.
But upon his return, he was not greeted with flowers and applause, but rather a slap from Wang Lu.
Wang Lu smiled and slapped Chu Chen's shoulder.
"You sly fellow, keeping such secrets." Wang Lu said with a laugh.
Chu Chen quickly waved his hand and said, "I haven't hidden anything, you just never asked."
Wang Lu paused, then wrapped an arm around Chu Chen's neck and said, "You sly devil, still defending yourself."
Watching the two playfully arguing, Lu Hongfei and the others did not intervene but smiled at the scene.
It wasn't until the staff announced the names of the next competitors that the two stopped their playful banter.
"Chu Chen, you really have given me a big surprise." Lu Hongfei said with a smile.
