Challengers came in an endless stream, and those of lower strength were dealt with by Jin Shanshun. When Jin Shanshun couldn't defeat them, it would be Ye Qiu's turn to step in. Each time, Ye Qiu ended the battle with a narrow victory, and the two of them managed to acquire a fair amount of herbs and weapons over time.
"This guy is too odd. Some challengers are clearly weak, but he still seems to struggle so much during the fight. Could he be faking it?"
Some people noticed Ye Qiu's strangeness. Logically, after battling continuously for so many days, Ye Qiu's strength hadn't seemed that impressive, but somehow, he always came out on top. Once or twice might be dismissed, but time and again, it became too suspicious.
