"Participant Jing Jiaren took the initiative to withdraw from the competition!"
When he heard that Yu Huang had taken the initiative to withdraw from the competition, Jing Ruge felt surprised and puzzled. He thought to himself, "What is Yu Huang doing? How can she withdraw from the competition so easily? Is she crazy?"
However, a few seconds later, when he heard the news of Jing Jiaren taking the initiative to withdraw from the competition through the radio again, his expression changed drastically.
Jing Ruge lost his composure in public and exclaimed, "How is this possible?!" All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
He instantly turned from a spectator to someone involved.
For a moment, all the family members looked at Jing Ruge. They were also curious and puzzled about Jing Jiaren's sudden decision to withdraw from the competition. Therefore, they all looked at Jing Ruge to hear her explanation.
"Mr. Jing, why did your daughter take the initiative to withdraw from the competition?" The representatives of the major families closest to Jing Ruge couldn't hold back their curiosity and asked Jing Ruge this question.
But Jing Ruge himself didn't even know why his daughter did this, so how could he answer them?
Jing Ruge smiled mysteriously and said, "Jiaren naturally has her reasons for doing this."
In fact, Jing Ruge and Zhang Zhanyi were also confused.
As parents, they knew Jing Jiaren the best in the world. From the day Jing Jiaren awakened the power of divination, she had set herself the goal of participating in the Divination Conference and becoming the Saintess. In order to become the Saintess, Jing Jiaren had been enduring and waiting. It was only
when she obtained the Divination Ultimate Art two years ago and thought that the time was right that she signed up for the competition.
How could someone who thought so highly of the Divination Conference withdraw from the competition so easily?
Zhang Zhanyi whispered to Jing Ruge, "Could it be that Jiaren was treated unfairly?" As soon as she said this, even Zhang Zhanyi herself found it funny.
Firstly, the Jing family had always been the most respected and feared superpower on the Divination Continent. Even the clairvoyant association wouldn't offend Jing Jiaren easily. Secondly, Old Madam Jing was Jing Jiaren's grandmother and the chief supervisor of this Divination Conference. With her around, who would dare to bully Jing Jiaren?
The only person who could make Jing Jiaren withdraw from the competition was herself.
Then, what exactly happened in the hall of examination hall 2?
Just as Jing Ruge and her husband were feeling puzzled and the other onlookers were feeling curious, the tightly shut door of Hall 2 in front of them was suddenly pushed open. Then, two women in black robes walked out side by side.
The woman on the left was beautiful, and her phoenix eyes were filled with nobility and charm. She was wearing a clairvoyant competition robe, and the words "Yu Huang, Level 1 Wizard" were embroidered on the left side of her collar.
The woman on the right was also tall and slender, but her facial features revealed a cold aura. The words "Jing Jiaren, Level 8 Prophet" were embroidered on the collar of her long robe.
"It's Jing Jiaren and Yu Huang!"
Seeing that Jing Jiaren had really withdrawn from the competition midway, Jing Ruge's expression changed drastically. He immediately stood up from her seat and strode towards Jing Jiaren. Then, he grabbed Jing Jiaren's arm and asked curiously and worriedly, "Jiaren, why did you withdraw from the competition? What exactly happened?"
Zhang Zhanyi also came to Jing Ruge's side. She had always been calm and composed, and rarely revealed her emotions.
Even though Jing Jiaren had decided to withdraw from the competition without informing her, Zhang Zhanyi didn't react too agitatedly. Seeing that Jing Jiaren and Yu Huang's expressions were a little serious, she asked thoughtfully, "Did something happen?"
Jing Jiaren nodded and told her parents, "I think that the current clairvoyant association has already gone against its original intention." After seeing through the nature of the clairvoyant association, Jing Jiaren lost interest in joining the clairvoyant association and entering the Divination Star Tower to further her studies.
"What happened?" Jing Ruge sounded even more anxious.
Jing Jiaren glanced at Yu Huang and said, "Yu Huang, you tell them."
Yu Huang looked up at Jing Ruge and his wife, the group of eliminated clairvoyants standing behind Jing Ruge, and all the family members watching the competition.
Noticing that there were a few reporters from the cultivation world in the crowd, Yu Huang looked at the camera on the reporter's shoulder. Then, she raised the green unicorn hair in her hand and said firmly, "The green unicorn race, which lives in the desolate place of the Cang Lang Continent, are suffering the calamity of extermination. The hair in my hand is the unicorn hair that the unicorn warriors pulled from their necks. They are asking the outside world for help, in hopes that we can help them overcome this crisis."
"Our clairvoyant association had already received an emergency distress signal from the unicorn clan the day before yesterday. However, as powerful prophets, they actually hid this news when they had long predicted that the unicorn clan was about to be exterminated. They treated the survival of the unicorn clan as a way to test the prophecy abilities of the participants."
"As prophets, the purpose of our existence is to predict the future in advance and take measures to minimize the damage of an inevitable disaster. However, the actions of the clairvoyant association completely violated the purpose of prophets…"
"Through this incident, we realized that not every powerful prophet has a noble character worthy of respect and admiration. Such a clairvoyant association isn't an association that Miss Jing and I want to join. We, who are extremely disappointed in the clairvoyant association's actions, decided to take the initiative to withdraw from the competition. Compared to this competition, what we should do is hurry up and inform the Space Administration of the calamity the unicorn clan encountered and call on big shots to go to the desolate place together to save the unicorn clan!"
After hearing Yu Huang's explanation, the reactions of the people standing in front of her were different.
Some compassionate people were filled with indignation when they found out about this. Like Yu Huang and the others, they felt that the clairvoyant association was despicable and not worthy of their respect. However, most of the clairvoyants from the major families felt that Yu Huang and Jing Jiaren's actions were stupid and self-destructive.
Offending the entire clairvoyant association for a mere unicorn clan wasn't called heroism. It was called extreme stupidity!
After Jing Ruge heard the whole story, he gave Jing Jiaren a questioning look and asked Jing Jiaren, "Is that so?"
Jing Jiaren nodded.
Seeing Jing Ruge's complicated expression, Jing Jiaren suddenly said softly, "Daddy, haven't you always been curious why I treat my aunt as the person I admire the most?"
Jing Ruge was stunned.
He frowned at Jing Jiaren and asked her, "Why?"
Jing Jiaren said, "Because my aunt remembers her responsibility as a prophet. Before she lost the power of divination, she swore to become a God's Prophet. However, her purpose for becoming a God's Prophet was never to develop the Jing family's power and increase our prestige. She wanted to become stronger because she wanted to predict more disasters and save more people."
"Before my aunt lost the power of divination, she had always been doing this."
