Competition Bet, Tang Hao Finally Returns
"Lin Xiao, what exactly are you plotting?"
On the way back to the team with Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu thought absentmindedly.
She could sense that Lin Xiao was genuinely not interested in her Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone! So what else about her was worth plotting for?
Xiao Wu had previously thought he was after her body.
But Lin Xiao never laid a hand on her, not even a physical touch. Could this be the behavior of someone lusting after her flesh?
She tried her best, using her almond-sized brain to think.
Finally, she came to a conclusion:
Lin Xiao could only be plotting for her as a person!
However, he didn't want her body, he wanted her heart!
Otherwise, why would he be so nice to her?
Which normal Soul Master could resist the temptation of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast?
Xiao Wu sighed.
Zhu Zhuqing asked with concern, "Xiao Wu, what's wrong?"
Xiao Wu: "In the end, my beauty is still the cause of trouble."
Zhu Zhuqing: ???
...
Lin Xiao waited for Xiao Wu to go in first, and after a while, he leisurely entered the Heaven Dou Soul Arena.
He found the seat where the Burning Maple Battle Team was located.
As soon as he sat down, he saw Ye Qingxian looking at him with a smile that was not quite a smile.
"Lin Xiao, you're quite charming."
Lin Xiao's face was full of question marks.
Beside him, Dugu Yan also teased:
"That's right, in the blink of an eye, you've captured the heart of a young girl!"
Ye Lingling echoed:
"Exactly, playing with a young girl's heart in the palm of your hand."
Lin Xiao was covered in black lines, "What's going on?"
Shui Binger whispered, "Lin Xiao Gege, a girl with red wavy hair came up just now, she was very beautiful. She came to find you, and when she saw you weren't here, she left a message for us."
"She said she remembered you, and hopes that when you meet in the finals, you'll have the strength to match your aloofness."
Lin Xiao slapped his forehead.
"Okay, I know who it is."
"Seriously, is she crazy!"
"Didn't you guys help me argue back?"
Ye Qingxian said, "How would they help you argue? They're too busy watching the show! Besides, wouldn't it be more interesting to see that girl's reaction during the finals?"
Lin Xiao: "..."
"Let's see if she can even make it to the finals first."
He twitched his lips, not taking the matter to heart.
He sat down to watch the match.
Soon after, a staff member came forward and respectfully said:
"Mr. Lin Xiao, Your Majesty is waiting for you and the other members of the Burning Maple Battle Team in the VIP area backstage."
Lin Xiao stood up and, along with his teammates, followed the staff member to the VIP area backstage.
Emperor Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi, the Platinum Bishop, and Dugu Bo were all there, and their gazes all fell on Lin Xiao.
Especially the Platinum Bishop, who kept sizing up Lin Xiao, as if trying to see through him.
Emperor Xue Ye said gently:
"Lin Xiao, do you know why you have been summoned here?"
Lin Xiao shook his head.
Ning Fengzhi, standing to the side, smiled:
"A few of us had a whim and made a bet, betting on whether you, Lin Xiao, can lead the Burning Maple Battle Team to win the championship in the Soul Master Competition."
As he spoke, Ning Fengzhi winked at Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao immediately understood and, seeing Dugu Bo barely able to suppress his laughter, knew that this was a scheme jointly concocted by Ning Fengzhi and Dugu Bo.
Their purpose was to fleece a rich client.
It seemed they had succeeded?
Emperor Xue Ye said:
"As long as you, Lin Xiao, can lead your team to win the championship in the Soul Master Competition and bring honor to my Heaven Dou Empire, I will gift you a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone as a reward."
Dugu Bo said:
"This old man has also acquired quite a few good things recently, which you can distribute among the members of your team when the time comes."
Ning Fengzhi then said with a smile:
"The Platinum Bishop and I have a gentleman's agreement. If I lose, I will have to pay him a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone. Conversely, if he loses, the same applies."
"As for what we're betting on, it's whether the Burning Maple Battle Team can win the championship in the Soul Master Competition!"
"Hey, counting my own, I'll have two Soul Bones on hand, which will serve as a reward for you."
Lin Xiao understood.
No wonder the Platinum Bishop was sizing him up; he was judging whether Lin Xiao had the qualifications to win the championship, to strengthen his own resolve.
However, the Platinum Bishop must know the strength of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, otherwise, how could he have made such a bet with Ning Fengzhi because of a few words of provocation?
The so-called calculation was just both sides going with the flow.
Lin Xiao smiled slightly, his voice revealing confidence.
"Then please, Your Excellency Salas, prepare the Soul Bone in advance, I don't want to have to wait a while to get it when the time comes."
Platinum Bishop Salas sneered.
"Soul Bones are always available."
"I'm just afraid it won't be so easy to get!"
The strength of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation far exceeds previous teams, this arrogant young man simply doesn't know what kind of opponent he will be facing.
...
When Lin Xiao and Dugu Bo came out together, this scene happened to be seen by Shrek Academy.
They were all awe-struck in their hearts, and everyone's eyes converged on Lin Xiao.
Yu Xiaogang hated Lin Xiao for publishing Critique of the Ten Core Theories of Martial Souls, tearing off his last fig leaf;
Dai Mubai looked at Zhu Zhuqing, whose eyes were glued to Lin Xiao, with half hatred and half fear, his eyes spitting fire;
Xiao Wu stood beside Tang San, a strange feeling rising in her heart;
Yu Tianheng saw Dugu Bo and lowered his head in fear, his gaze falling to his lower body, and he felt a pain, filled with resentment for a time;
Tang San's Eight Spider Lances began to ache faintly, and he subconsciously glanced at Lin Xiao's fair palm.
Lin Xiao also noticed the Shrek Team, but he didn't say hello, nor did he intend to provoke them, he just glanced at them and silently looked away.
This attitude of ignoring them made Shrek Academy feel stifled in their hearts.
Dugu Bo turned his head and glanced faintly.
Yu Tianheng's heart twitched violently, and he turned his head away in panic, not daring to look Dugu Bo in the eye.
Flender said with a wry smile:
"This Soul Master Competition, the Burning Maple Battle Team is a guaranteed team, that is, if we can reach the finals, we will inevitably have to meet them."
"Little monsters... will they really be the Burning Maple Battle Team's opponents?"
Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists and said in a low voice:
"Now that things have come to this, whether they are opponents or not, we can only bite the bullet and go on."
"At that time, everything will be under Tang San's command."
Yu Xiaogang bet everything on Tang San, he wanted to wash away his name as a waste, and wanted to turn the tables in a desperate situation.
Then Tang San must stand out in the Soul Master Competition, even at the cost of sacrificing his own team!
At this time, Lin Xiao, who was walking away with Dugu Bo, heard Feng Yu's voice in his mind, and his footsteps suddenly stopped.
After many days.
Tang Hao finally appeared!
However, does the other party now know the news that the Clear Sky Sect is already on its last breath, lingering on?
I really want to know!
The corner of Lin Xiao's lips slightly curved up.
