“Brother Wang…”
Li Kaifu held Wang Xiao’s hand and said with an extremely sincere expression, “Can you stop talking? I don’t hope for the throne now. I only hope that after this selection, I can still live…”
Wang Xiao frowned. “Brother Li, do you not believe in my strength?”
Li Kaifu sighed heavily. “Brother Wang, if you continue to speak like this, I can only stop this cooperation.”
Wang Xiao’s expression changed. He immediately turned around and cupped his hands at everyone. “Everyone! I didn’t sleep well last night and said some nonsense just now. Please don’t mind me!”
Everyone had strange expressions when they heard this. Even Zhou Xiruo had an unbearable expression.
When Wang Xiao challenged the entire venue just now, Zhou Xiruo was still able to hold back. However, now, she really could not hold it in anymore. She directly leaned close to Wang Xiao’s ear and complained softly, “Can you have some principles? Where did your domineering aura go just now?”
“What’s the use of being domineering? Li Kaifu still hasn’t given me the nine [Breakthrough Stones]!”
Wang Xiao replied softly. Then, he squeezed out a smile at Li Kaifu. “Brother Li, what do you think of that?”
..Whatever.”
Li Kaifu covered his chest and waved his hand. It was obvious that he did not want to talk to Wang Xiao anymore. He told the two of them to wait here and not walk around. Then, he hurriedly squeezed into the crowd and disappeared.
Yu Bo sneered a few more times and turned to leave. This farce-like storm finally came to an end.
Soon, everyone continued to busy themselves. However, there was a hint of high battle intent in the tense and busy atmosphere.
No one took Wang Xiao’s apology seriously, but no one continued to clamor. After all, no matter how loud the clamor outside the arena was, it was inferior to a heavy punch in the secret realm.
Sensing the subtle atmosphere in the air, Zhou Xiruo could not help but look worried. “Did you go overboard just now? This will make us everyone’s target.”
“I know. So what?”
Wang Xiao chuckled indifferently and stretched out his hand to let Zhou Xiruo tie a strip of cloth for him. “To capture bandits, you have to capture the leader first. As long as you defeat the strongest few, the others won’t dare to act rashly. If we reduce the number of times you appear, the chances of you being discovered by your fiancé will be even lower.”
“It’s my ex-fiancé!”
Zhou Xiruo corrected him angrily. As soon as she finished speaking, she hurriedly corrected herself. “No! I have nothing to do with him anymore!”
Wang Xiao sneered and was about to speak when he suddenly felt someone pat his shoulder. He turned around and saw a handsome young man standing behind him.
“Hello, are you Wang Xiao from the Kaiyang Academy?”
The young man asked with a smile. However, that cheerful smile always felt a little hypocritical in Wang Xiao’s eyes.
“I’m Wang Xiao, but I’ve already transferred to Yuheng Academy.”
Wang Xiao nodded and admitted. Then, he frowned and asked curiously, “Who are you? Have I robbed you before?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xiao suddenly felt his wrist tighten. He turned around and saw Zhou Xiruo staring straight at the young man. The cloth on his wrist was almost cut into his flesh!
“Big Sister! That’s enough! You don’t have to tie it so tightly!”
Wang Xiao hurriedly patted Zhou Xiruo’s hand. At the same time, he had already realized that this handsome young man was most likely Zhou Xiruo’s “former fiancé”!
Just as Wang Xiao thought of this, the young man took the initiative to introduce himself. “My name is Liu Yuyang. We haven’t met before, but I have a relationship with your vassal lord, Zhou Xiruo.”
Wang Xiao thought to himself, “As expected.” However, his expression did not change. “Is that so? What a coincidence!”
As he spoke, Wang Xiao took a step to the side and blocked Zhou Xiruo behind him. He looked at Liu Yuyang and smiled apologetically. “However, it’s quite unfortunate that she didn’t come today, so I could only ask my friend Fang Tianyu to help.”
When he said the words “Fang Tianyu”, Wang Xiao deliberately emphasized it a little, intending to remind Zhou Xiruo behind him. Otherwise, her straight gaze would really be too suspicious.
Fortunately, Liu Yuyang did not seem to notice. He smiled and continued, “It’s okay. I’m not here to look for her. I have something to discuss with Mr. Wang.”
Wang Xiao asked curiously, “Oh?”
“To be honest, Zhou Xiruo and I were engaged in the past. Moreover, my talent has to cooperate with her to unleash higher strength. Therefore, I want to ask Mr. Wang to part with her and pass her [vassal contract] to me.”
Liu Yuyang smiled politely and explained before Wang Xiao could speak, “Of course! I won’t let you hand over the [vassal contract] for nothing. How about 10 million star coins?”
Hearing Liu Yuyang’s matter-of-fact tone, the smile on Wang Xiao’s face disappeared, and his eyes suddenly turned cold. “Only by cooperating with Zhou Xiruo can you unleash stronger strength? What do you take her for? A tool that can be traded at will?”
Liu Yuyang seemed to not know why Wang Xiao was suddenly angry. He was stunned for a moment before continuing to smile. “Mr. Wang, do you think the price is too low? Then 20 million? If it’s not enough, 30 million star coins is also fine.”
“I’m a person of quality. Otherwise, I would have already brought up your family.”
Wang Xiao squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth and opened the trading interface. “How about this? If you become my vassal lord, I’ll give you
50 million!”
Hearing this, Liu Yuyang retracted his smile for the first time. “It sounds like… Mr. Wang doesn’t agree?”
“I agree…”
Wang Xiao almost cursed, but in the end, he held it in. He looked at Liu Yuyang and squeezed out a cold smile. “I roughly know something about the two of you, so as long as I’m still alive, don’t even think about this.”
“I got it.”
Liu Yuyang nodded and looked at Wang Xiao expressionlessly. “That’s a pity. Since Mr. Wang doesn’t agree, I can only shatter the core of your territory and snatch her [vassal contract].”
Wang Xiao looked straight at Liu Yuyang without backing down. “I’m not interested in your trash core, but if you want to die, I don’t mind shattering it!”
“Good! Good! Good!”
Liu Yuyang laughed in anger and said “good” three times in a row. Then, he retreated into the crowd with a resentful expression.
Almost at the same time, Wang Xiao was hugged from behind. Zhou Xiruo’s voice sounded in his ear. “Wang Xiao, thank you…”
“What are you thanking me for? For not selling you for less than 30 million?”
Wang Xiao sneered and turned around. Only then did he realize that Zhou Xiruo’s eyes were red, as if she had just cried.
“Pfft! Nothing good comes out of a dog’s mouth!”
Zhou Xiruo punched Wang Xiao hard, and her eyes suddenly revealed a hint of shyness. “However, what you said just now really touched me… Why do you have such an expression?”
“I-I’m fine!”
Wang Xiao reacted and hurriedly rubbed his face to adjust his expression.
Actually, he should have been a little touched just now, but looking at Fang Tianyu’s face, he really could not be touched…
