Gu Yanduo, who occasionally opened his eyes to observe his daughter's reaction, was now unable to close them again. His mouth tightened, fists clenched, with a trace of unwillingness flashing in his eyes.
Soon, someone shouted, "She's got a nosebleed!"
The crowd looked closely, and indeed, blood seeped from one of Gu Lianni's nostrils as her body trembled slightly.
The Shudao Mountain group was collectively stunned.
Elder Jin Guiqi immediately turned to the Sect Leader beside him and said, "If this continues, something might happen. Senior Brother, let Lianni withdraw from the match."
Gu Yanduo's face was stern, and he repeated the same response, "No one forced her to participate. She fought for the spot herself. Whether she can endure it or not, she knows in her heart. Whatever price she pays is on her; she brought this on herself. After all, she is my daughter, and no one is allowed to intervene!"
