After the semi-finals, there was a day of rest.
Those reporters were also quite resourceful. They actually found Jiang Chen's residence and directly staked it out here.
Some people wanted to go in and interview Jiang Chen, but Ning Ya coldly blocked them outside.
"These reporters are really patient. They're all staking out outside."
Standing upstairs, Xiao Luoxue saw the reporters staking out around the villa.
"If they want to stake out, let them. They'll just be squatting for nothing in the end."
Tomorrow, at the venue, Jiang Chen would directly have Gardevoir use instant movement to get there. They wouldn't be able to catch Jiang Chen at all.
"Oh." Duan Wanqiu let out a light sound, pointing outside and saying, "Those people have been driven away."
"Driven away? It must be my old lady who sent someone to drive them away."
Jiang Chen saw a familiar car, it was his old lady's car. Ning Ya had told Jiang Chen that she would come to watch Jiang Chen's finals when the finals arrived.
"Let's go, let's go downstairs."
Jiang Chen immediately went downstairs, and behind him, Duan Wanqiu and Xiao Luoxue immediately straightened themselves up. Facing Jiang Chen's mother, Xie Yulan, they couldn't be so casual.
Although it wasn't their first meeting, they were still nervous when facing Xie Yulan. It felt like a daughter-in-law facing her mother-in-law. They didn't want to leave a bad impression on Xie Yulan.
Seeing Jiang Chen, Xie Yulan's face broke into a smile. And when she saw Duan Wanqiu behind Jiang Chen, the smile on Xie Yulan's face deepened.
In front of others, Xie Yulan was a cold-tempered, strong-willed woman.
Only when she was with her family would she show her warm and gentle side.
"Old lady, you're getting more and more beautiful."
"Son, you're getting better at talking. No wonder you attract so many girls."
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Xie Yulan smiled, then softly asked Jiang Chen, "Which of them do you like more? Or do you want all of them?"
His old lady's words left Jiang Chen somewhat speechless.
Looking at his old lady's expression, it seemed as if she expected him to want all of them.
Indeed, Xie Yulan was very strict with Jiang Yuan. If Jiang Yuan dared to be ambiguous with other women, she would definitely break Jiang Yuan's leg.
But when it came to her own son, it was different. She wished she had more daughters-in-law.
If Jiang Yuan knew how lenient Xie Yulan was with her son, he wouldn't know whether to feel jealous.
Looking at Duan Wanqiu and Xiao Luoxue, Xie Yulan was very satisfied with all of them. Whether it was their appearance or other aspects, they were all a good match for her son.
"Chairman, those reporters haven't left yet. They're still lurking nearby," Xie Yulan's assistant walked into the room and said.
Upon hearing this, Xie Yulan frowned. She knew Jiang Chen didn't like being disturbed by those reporters.
"Mom, don't mind them. Let them stake out here. Anyway, they won't find anything."
Jiang Chen said to Xie Yulan.
Anyway, he had already planned that tomorrow, he would have Gardevoir use instant movement to take them to the Imperial Elf Arena.
Even if those reporters stayed here, they wouldn't be able to meet Jiang Chen.
"Then don't pay attention to them."
Hearing Jiang Chen say this, Xie Yulan said to her assistant.
"Will my dad come to watch the finals?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Originally, he planned to come, but now he has more important things to do."
"If you reveal your divine beast, people from other countries might harbor ill intentions towards you, so he needs to keep an eye on things and also guard against some petty tricks."
Xie Yulan told Jiang Chen.
If Jiang Chen didn't need to use Articuno, perhaps Jiang Yuan would have come to watch Jiang Chen's finals.
The complete revelation of Jiang Chen's divine beast had quite an impact. During this time, some people might try to cozy up to Jiang Chen, and others might attack him.
Jiang Chen put away his divine beast. For the Summer Kingdom, it was a good thing. For other countries, it was not a good thing.
Because the friction between various countries was great.
For example, when a secret realm or ruins appeared, whoever had the bigger fist would naturally gain the greatest advantage.
If a country like the Summer Kingdom appeared, controlling a divine beast, who else could beat them? This was not what they wanted to see.
"If you find anyone making a move against you, don't worry. No matter the consequences, your father and I will help you deal with the aftermath."
Xie Yulan warned Jiang Chen.
"I won't be lenient towards those with ulterior motives."
Jiang Chen was no saint. If someone dared to attack him, Jiang Chen would not only eliminate them, but he would not let go of the people behind them either.
After chatting with his old lady for a while, Jiang Chen changed into fresh clothes and joined Duan Wanqiu and Xiao Luoxue, who were chatting happily with Xie Yulan.
The next day, after breakfast, they busied themselves packing up the prepared items.
Mainly, Ning Ya had found someone to make some support cards for Jiang Chen.
"Today, we'll all cheer you on. Win beautifully." Xiao Luoxue held a card that said "Go Jiang Chen!" with a big heart on it.
"What do you mean by 'win beautifully'?"
"Of course, it means to break through your opponent. Auntie specially came to watch your match. If you don't break through your opponent, how can you face Auntie?"
Xiao Luoxue waved her fist.
"Gardevoir, take us to the Imperial Elf Arena," Jiang Chen said to Gardevoir.
With so many people, and the Imperial Elf Arena being quite a distance from the villa, Gardevoir felt no fatigue at all.
The reporters who were still staking out near the villa didn't know that Jiang Chen had already arrived at the Imperial Elf Arena.
"Who is my opponent?"
At this time, Jiang Chen still didn't know who his opponent was. Regarding the battle between Shao Feichen and Qin Han, he hadn't paid attention and didn't know who won earlier.
"Your opponent is Qin Han," Gu Xuanyue said to Jiang Chen.
"Do you need to see Qin Han's information, Young Master?" Ning Ya took out a piece of information.
"No need. I've already seen Qin Han's information before."
Earlier, Jiang Chen had already read the information collected by Ning Ya. His memory was excellent, and he was very clear about Qin Han's information.
"Jiang Chen, come on!"
Not far away, Avril walked over and made a cheering gesture to Jiang Chen, holding a support sign that read "Jiang Chen, I love you."
Seeing Avril, Duan Wanqiu and Xiao Luoxue's expressions changed, especially since Avril was holding such a bold support sign.
"My son has a lot of romantic luck."
Xie Yulan glanced at Avril, who had just appeared. She felt that Avril was no worse than Duan Wanqiu or Gu Xuanyue.
The difference was that she didn't know the other party well. She wasn't someone who was close to Jiang Chen, and Xie Yulan was naturally vigilant.
After returning, she would definitely have someone investigate Avril's background to ensure there were no issues with the other party.
If this woman had a problem, Xie Yulan would not let go of any woman who harbored ill intentions and approached Jiang Chen.
"Thank you for cheering me on."
Jiang Chen smiled faintly at Avril, but this smile wasn't as sincere as when he faced Ning Ya and the others.
For Jiang Chen, Avril could only be considered a friend. Whether they would be friends in the future was another matter.
He had always suspected that Avril approached him with ulterior motives.
"Time is almost up. I'll go to the competition arena first."
Jiang Chen glanced at the time. It was less than ten minutes until the start of the match. It was time to go. Jiang Chen wouldn't make a big deal out of his identity or play any tricks to delay.
The competition this time was a grass field, a field covered with green grass. In fact, no matter what kind of field, it had no effect on Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen was a Water-type Master.
If it were someone who specifically trained fire-type legendary Pokémon, they would indeed be in trouble on a water-type field.
"Hello."
Qin Han had already arrived at the competition arena. After seeing Jiang Chen, he greeted him.
"In this match, will you use a divine beast? If you use a divine beast, I won't have any chance of winning."
If Jiang Chen used a divine beast, Qin Han could only smile bitterly. However, losing to a divine beast was not shameful, and Qin Han even secretly hoped that Jiang Chen would use a divine beast.
If Jiang Chen used a divine beast, he could boast later that he had fought against a divine beast. Even if he lost tragically, it would be worth it.
The referee was also very concerned about this question.
The current referee was not the referee who had officiated Jiang Chen's previous match. He was very envious of that referee and naturally hoped that Jiang Chen would release a divine beast so he could watch it up close.
"Whether I use a divine beast or not, you guess," Jiang Chen said with a chuckle, not answering him.
