Early morning the next day.
Gu Yu left the agritainment facility with disciples of the Thief Sect, heading directly and secretly to the Land of the Far North.
Meanwhile, Liu Zixuan and the others proceeded as usual to the ravine where the martial arts tournament was to be held, picking up Zhao Yi from the neighboring city in the process.
Regarding last night's events, Zhao Yi merely told them that he was tired and went straight to the hotel to rest. Everyone knew he was lying, but due to the plan, no one exposed him; instead, they playfully bantered for a while.
Actually, without Gu Yu's Fortune Telling Skill, Liu Zixuan could also tell that Zhao Yi was hiding something from them; he is not someone who expresses himself well, nor is he good at lying.
Often, when people lie, they perform some subconscious actions, such as touching their nose or avoiding eye contact.
