95 You Came to Scout for Information but Ended Up Annihilating the Beastmen Tribe?
Su Wan didn’t care about anything else and rushed to hug Xu Yuan. She trembled. She was very worried. She thought she had lost Xu Yuan.
When Su Wan hugged him, Xu Yuan instinctively stretched out his claw to push her away. However, when he saw the tears in the corner of her eyes, he let her hug him.
A Lord and a hero remained in a strange atmosphere. However, a loud voice interrupted everything.
“Wanwan, be careful!” Shi Linglong cried out. “The White Dragon is coming!”
Su Wan was startled. She turned her head to look. The White Dragon, almost as big as Xu Yuan, was watching them from a distance.
“B*stard!” Su Wan was angry. It was because of that dragon that she had almost lost Xu Yuan!
Shi Linglong mustered up her courage and walked over to the White Dragon Saint. Shi Linglong and the Flower Fairy glared at him.
The White Dragon Saint looked at Xu Yuan as though it was all unfair. The Lords seemed to have a complicated relationship with his new master. He wondered if he was going to get beaten up.
Before the White Dragon Saint could figure out what to do next, several other Lords rushed to the area.
The battle had been so intense that the Lords had rushed over to see what was going on. They finally arrived at the scene.
“Captain, what happened here?” an Overlord asked Su Wan.
There were potholes around and the ground was cracked. The place looked chaotic. The buildings of the Beastmen Tribe had been destroyed. The place was in ruins. Moreover, the ground was covered with the corpses of the Beastmen.
Su Wan was stunned. She didn’t know how to answer them. She tried to recall why she had come here in the first place.
She finally remembered that she was here for the mock tournament. She was supposed to work with the other Lords to defeat the Beastmen Tribe.
However, after meeting Shi Linglong, things had gotten complicated. Shi Linglong was prepared to explain everything.
Su Wan noticed that the White Dragon Saint, who once had blotted out the sky and struck fear in their hearts, followed Xu Yuan like his little fan.
‘Scammer Xu, well done!’ thought Su Wan happily. ‘It seems he has taken in that terrifying dragon as his little brother.’ Su Wan secretly praised him in her heart.
Su Wan stopped Shi Linglong. She rushed to explain everything. However, Shi Linglong found her explanation a little strange. Su Wan told them that she had come to scout the area and found Shi Linglong. She explained that Shi Linglong had found out that the Beastmen Tribe was colluding with the Dark Screen. Therefore, they worked together to destroy the Beastmen.
That was roughly true. However, Shi Linglong noticed that Su Wan kept Xu Yuan’s involvement a secret, as well as the matter of the White Dragon Saint.
Shi Linglong was good at reading people. She understood that Su Wan was trying to hide something. So, she decided not to expose her.
When the other Lords heard this, their eyes widened. “So, Captain, you came to scout for information but ended up annihilating the Beastmen Tribe?”
Everyone was baffled. They all knew how powerful the Beastmen Tribe was. Su Wan, who had gone to scout the area, had ended up killing them!
“It seems like there’s no point in this mock tournament?” said a Lord.
The purpose of the mock tournament had been to teach the Lords to work as a team, but Su Wan had destroyed the whole Beastmen Tribe by herself.
“This wasn’t all me,” said Su Wan. “Linglong’s role was indispensable.”
Su Wan was afraid that the whole thing would seem too unbelievable, so she credited Shi Linglong even though she had done nothing, except get kidnapped by the Dark Screen embers.
Su Wan, in her explanation, implied that Shi Linglong had discovered their scheme and had gotten captured willingly to put an end to their dangerous plan. When the enemy brought her here, Shi Linglong had discovered their stronghold.
“The junior’s courage is commendable!” said a Lord. “But don’t take such risks in the future.”
Everyone praised Shi Linglong. Several Lords had seen Su Wan in action and even fought with her in the selection round. They knew that Su Wan’s level was nowhere near the battle that had taken place in this place. So, they assumed Shi Linglong had contributed a great deal to the fight.
Shi Linglong was confused and embarrassed because everyone praised her. However, for her friend’s sake, she tried her best to smile and thanked everyone.
Since the Beastmen Tribe had been destroyed, the smock tournament was considered completed. The teacher appeared and announced the end of the mock tournament.
The other Lords didn’t even get a chance to participate, and the mock tournament was already over.
…
Beams of light illuminated the dark cave briefly. A human figure appeared in the light beam.
“Reporting to Lord Holy Envoy,” said the figure. “The array set up in the grassy plain has been destroyed.”
The figure was covered in a black cloak so tightly and completely that nothing could be seen clearly.
A bat flew past and stopped in front of a light beam. The bat made some sounds.
“We already know the array in the grassy plain has been destroyed.”
“The White Dragon Saint is also missing.”
“What happened?” The bat’s eyes were bloodshot as it stared at the figure in the beam of light.
The figure trembled in fear. “I followed the plan and participated in the mock tournament with the other Lords of the academy. There was a terrifying battle going on in the distance. When we arrived at the scene, everything was in ruins and the White Dragon Saint was nowhere to be found. I suspect a girl called Shi Linglong is responsible for everything.”
“Shi Linglong?” said the bat hoarsely. “What a familiar name… That little girl… Why is she hellbent on foiling the organization’s plan time and again?”
The bat recalled Shi Linglong’s name. Her name was on the organization’s Hit List.
The bat understood the situation briefly. From the information reported by the spy, Su Wan didn’t have much involvement in the battle. On the other hand, Shi Linglong had deliberately sabotaged the organization’s plan.
“Go back and keep an eye on that girl! Our plan is about to enter a critical stage. Inform me about every move of that girl.”
“Okay!”
