"If I'm not mistaken, they probably won't be competing." Li Shaoqiu said.

"How is it possible that you are not competing?" Li Shaoqiu stopped his chopsticks and looked at Xiao Tianying suspiciously. The Shangyuan country is a first-grade vassal country, once they give it up, they will directly become a fifth-grade vassal country, how can they give it up?

"I'm just guessing, anyway, you just need to prepare." After Xiao Tianying said this, she walked out calmly.

Li Shaoqiu and the others looked at each other, and they all knew that Xiao Tianying had made a special trip this time because he didn't want to take advantage of the Southern Xia Kingdom, but how did he learn the news that the Shangyuan Kingdom might abstain?

"The Uehara Kingdom has occupied the position of a first-class subject country for many years, and its strength has increased greatly, and it has already posed a threat to the Dinglin Kingdom, maybe the Dinglin Kingdom does not want them to become stronger and stronger." The envoy said. As an envoy, he has been dealing with countries for many years, and he has seen this kind of relationship between countries more thoroughly than several others, and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, it makes sense, I also heard my old man say this, the reason why our Nanxia Kingdom has been peaceful all these years is precisely because of the five-grade subordinate country, if it really wants to become a first-grade subordinate country, maybe it will not be so peaceful." Li Shaoqiu felt the same way, and then said suspiciously, "But how can that crow's mouth know this, regardless of him, eat first, and then talk after eating." Li Shaoqiu said and picked up the chopsticks again, and his expression froze suddenly.

Just as he was talking, the dishes on the table were gone!

Is there any heavenly reason, no matter how fast the action is, it doesn't have to be so fast, right? Li Shaoqiu looked at the envoy whose mouth was stuffed with vegetables, took a sip of rice, and wanted to cry without tears. The envoy looked at Li Shaoqiu with wide eyes, and that look seemed to say, don't look at me, Young Master Li, it's not my fault. And you don't want to make me spit it out of my mouth for you. Li Shaoqiu twitched the corner of his mouth, it was very weird, he actually understood the meaning in the eyes of the envoy. He was so disgusted that he turned his face to the side in disgust.

"When you go back, you must let grandpa take a good look at you, you can be so vicious when you eat, you will lose all the face of Nanxia Kingdom." Li Shaoqiu said in an angry whisper.

The envoy's expression froze, chewed a few times, and swallowed it with a grunt, with a sad face. Can he be blamed for this?

Ling Chuxi frowned slightly on the side, she quickly understood the key to this. However, will Uehara really not be able to participate in the competition this time? If yes, then...... A hint of melancholy flashed between Ling Chuxi's eyebrows.

……

In the morning, there were crowds of people outside the martial arts arena, colorful flags fluttering, and there was a loud call for gongs and drums in the arena, and the spectators from the Southern Xia Kingdom and the Dongxing Kingdom were desperately waving the flags in their hands, and they were more enthusiastic than a few days ago.

The draw ceremony began, and the arena was a little quieter, due to the sudden emergence of the Southern Xia Kingdom and the Dongxing Kingdom, the final outcome of this evaluation competition has also become confusing.

"Uehara Kingdom, abstain, Dongxing Kingdom and Southern Xia Kingdom directly advance to the finals." A majestic voice rang out above the arena.

There was an uproar at the scene, and all the people who were waiting for the results of the draw were shocked, the champion of the last evaluation competition, the traditional power of the five major subject countries, the Uehara country, actually abstained, that is to say, they will be directly demoted from a first-grade subject country to a five-grade subject country, what is going on?
