All ten contestants from Zhuque Banner Academy were defeated by Ma Xiaoyao, and Ma Xiaoyao won again today!
It was getting dark, so the referee stopped the game.
Ma Xiaoyao returned to the inn where he stayed with the support of Leng Rufeng and others.
…
Just after dinner, Huo Yuntian came to the door with a stern face and asked for the Shadowless Needle.
"Shadowless needle? What shadowless needle?" Ma Xiaoyao pretended to be dumbfounded. He would not hand over such a good thing as the shadowless needle.
"Ma Xiaoyao, don't act stupid here!" Huo Yuntian's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "The Shadowless Needle is my family heirloom, you must return it to me!"
"Why are you pretending to be stupid! I really don't know what Shadowless Needle is." Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "You must be mistaken."
"You don't admit it, right?" Huo Yuntian nodded: "Do you dare to let me search you!" Huo Yuntian is very smart. Ma Xiaoyao will definitely keep something as precious as the shadowless needle close to his body, and he can find it with just a search.
Ma Xiaoyao frowned: "Why should I ask you to search me!"
"Dean Huo, you have gone too far." Leng Rufeng stood up: "Let's not talk about whether Ma Xiaoyao has the so-called shadowless needle on his body. Even if there is, it is still his trophy! He deserves it.
Yes! Others have no right to ask for it!"
"You..." Huo Yuntian's eyes suddenly widened.
"It's getting late, we're going to have a rest. Dean Huo, please leave and don't disturb our rest." Leng Rufeng said calmly.
Huo Yuntian's face twitched several times: "Okay! Very good! Leng Rufeng, I will remember you! Let's see!" After saying these harsh words, Huo Yuntian left angrily.
"Master, actually I..." Ma Xiaoyao was about to explain, but was interrupted by Leng Rufeng.
"No need to explain." Leng Rufeng waved his hand: "You just need to understand some things in your heart. You don't need to say it out loud. I trust you very much. Okay, it's getting late. You should go and rest quickly."
"Yes." Ma Xiaoyao nodded, turned and returned to his bedroom.
After returning to the bedroom, Ma Xiaoyao made himself a cup of hot tea, sat on a chair and savored it slowly. Drinking tea can indeed make people feel calm.
Ma Xiaoyao could feel that Leng Rufeng cared for him sincerely. Originally, Ma Xiaoyao worshiped Leng Rufeng as his teacher just casually and did not take Leng Rufeng too seriously. However, after some contact, Ma Xiaoyao
Only then did she realize that Leng Rufeng was a person who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside. On the surface, he was very strict with Ma Xiaoyao, but in fact, he cared about Ma Xiaoyao very much. In a strange and secret place, Ma Xiaoyao was quite touched to have such a person who truly cared about him.
of.
There is no love without reason in this world, and there is no hatred without reason! The reason why Leng Rufeng cares about Ma Xiaoyao is because Ma Xiaoyao is his apprentice! He is the apprentice that Leng Rufeng has the highest hopes for.
The ancients said that once a teacher is always a father! When the ancients compared master and father together, they can see the weight of the word "master".
Of course, not all masters will care for their disciples selflessly. There are also some people who appear to be sanctimonious on the surface, but are actually full of male thieves and female prostitutes. If you meet such a master, it can only be said that you are unlucky.
Ma Xiaoyao is certainly lucky to have met a good master who is selfless and upright.
"Dong dong dong..."
While Ma Xiaoyao was deep in thought, there was a slight knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Ma Xiaoyao put down the teacup, stood up, walked over and opened the door: "Ouyang Zilan? You... why are you here?" Standing outside the door was a beautiful woman wearing a long skirt and long flowing hair.
It's Ouyang Zilan.
"What? I'm not welcome?" Ouyang Zilan smiled slightly.
"Uh... no, I'm just a little surprised..." Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand hurriedly: "Then what... do you have anything to do with me?"
"Well, it's a little something...can I go in and talk about it?"
"Ah...please come in, please come in..."
Ma Xiaoyao stepped aside, invited Ouyang Zilan into the room, and then personally made a cup of tea for Ouyang Zilan. Ma Xiaoyao did not close the door to avoid suspicion.
"Well, the tea is so fragrant." Ouyang Zilan praised.
"I bought the tea from the street. If Miss Ouyang likes it, I can give you some." Ma Xiaoyao said with a smile.
"Then I'll be disrespectful." Ouyang Zilan didn't refuse, and agreed happily.
"Miss Ouyang, why did you come to me..." Ma Xiaoyao asked doubtfully.
"Well, I have something to do with you... Strictly speaking, I am asking you to do a favor, a small favor." At this point, Ouyang Zilan's face turned slightly red, as if she was a little embarrassed.
Ma Xiaoyao blinked: "Ask me for help? What are you doing?" Ma Xiaoyao was very confused. He had almost no friendship with Ouyang Zilan, and they had very little contact. Moreover, he injured Ouyang Zilan in the ring a few days ago.
, Logically speaking, Ouyang Zilan should hate him, shouldn't she come to him for help?
"It's like this, my family has arranged a marriage for me..." At this point, Ouyang Zilan's face turned even redder.
"Oh, this is a good thing. Congratulations, congratulations." Ma Xiaoyao said with a smile: "When will the wedding take place? I will definitely prepare a generous gift then!" He stole hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from that idiot Young Master Long.
Ma Xiaoyao is considered a wealthy man now, so he has such confidence to speak.
"What are you talking about!" Ouyang Zilan glared at Ma Xiaoyao: "I don't like that man at all! It's even more impossible to marry him!"
"Um... I said something wrong... Miss Ouyang, please forgive me..." Ma Xiaoyao looked a little embarrassed.
"You don't know!" Ouyang Zilan sighed: "My parents are urging me to find a man, saying that I am not young anymore. If I don't find one quickly... I will become an old girl in the future."
"Well... parents are like this." Ma Xiaoyao said with a smile: "As parents, you don't want your children to live happily."
"I understand my parents' thoughts very well." Ouyang Zilan said: "I also want to find a man who likes me... But after so many years, I have never met... Now my parents are forcing me to go on a blind date, and I am almost
So annoying."
"This... this problem is indeed difficult to solve." Ma Xiaoyao said with a bitter smile. Back then, he was also forced by his parents to go on a blind date. His helplessness could not be expressed in words.
"I don't want to go on blind dates anymore!" Ouyang Zilan raised her head and looked at Ma Xiaoyao: "But I don't want to make my parents sad. After thinking about it, I can only come to you for help."
"Look for me...how can I help you?" Ma Xiaoyao suddenly felt a sense of crisis in his heart.
"Well...I..." Ouyang Zilan's face flushed, and she began to hesitate when speaking: "I...I...I plan to let you be my boyfriend..."
"Be your boyfriend!" Ma Xiaoyao's eyes suddenly widened: "Did I hear that right!!!"
"Why are you so excited!" Ouyang Zilan pouted: "I just asked you to play my boyfriend, not really! As long as you can hide it from my parents!"
"You..." Ma Xiaoyao really didn't know what to say.
"Don't worry, I won't let you help in vain." Ouyang Zilan took out a stack of silver notes from her arms: "Here are fifty thousand taels of silver. As long as you are willing to help me, these silvers will be yours."
What a big deal! He could easily take out fifty thousand taels of silver. It seems that Ouyang Zilan has a good family background.
Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "I'm sorry! I can't help you with this!"
"Why!" Ouyang Zilan frowned.
"First of all, I already have a woman I like. Secondly, I don't want to lie to others..."
"I just asked you to play my boyfriend and shut my parents' mouths at the critical moment! As for your private life, I won't interfere! And... you help me for the sake of my future happy life. This can't be called
It's a lie...it can only be said to be...a white lie..."
"I'm just wondering, why did you fall in love with me? I don't have any background, I'm just an ordinary little person. Even if I agree to play your boyfriend, your parents probably won't accept me."
"You are too arrogant to belittle yourself. You are the disciple of Dean Leng Rufeng, and then you won the first place in the joint competition of the five major colleges. This honor is not something ordinary people can get. No surprise, your future achievements will definitely be
It's limitless, my parents love young talents like you!"
"No, this... Ouyang Zilan, go back, I will never agree to your promise."
"What? You think the money is too little? I can give you more..."
"It's not about the money, it's about me... I have principles in doing things. I can't help you deceive people. If the matter is exposed, how do you want me to behave?"
"Don't worry, as long as we are careful, no flaws will be exposed. To put it bluntly, even if there are flaws, I will take all the responsibilities and will never implicate you."
"It's easy to say, but if something unexpected happens, it won't be that simple."
"I don't care, I'm attracted to you anyway, you have to play my boyfriend!"
"impossible!"
"Say it again!"
"It's the same thing even if you say it a hundred times, it's impossible!"
"...If that's the case, then don't blame me."
"Hey, what are you doing!"
"Take off your clothes, I will shout loudly, saying you are going to molest me..."
"You...why are you so vicious..."
"This is what you forced me to do! I'm counting to three now. If you don't agree to help me, I'll shout... It'll be up to you how you behave then! One, two..."
"Okay, okay, I promise you! I promise you! You little witch, I'm afraid of you!"
"Ma Xiaoyao, this is what you said! If you dare to lie to me, I have many ways to deal with you! At worst, I don't want to be chaste anymore, and I will make you stinky!"
"...You are cruel! Don't worry, since I promised you, I will naturally help you."
"Well, it's getting late. You should rest. There will be a fierce battle tomorrow." After receiving a satisfactory answer, Ouyang Zilan stood up with a smile on her face: "Ma Xiaoyao, although we are pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend, but you
You can pursue me hard, maybe we can even make it real!" After teasing Ma Xiaoyao for a few words, Ouyang Zilan left calmly.
"Crunch!"
Ma Xiaoyao hurriedly closed the door and let out a long breath: "I made a mistake. I really made a mistake. I thought this Ouyang Zilan was a very upright and innocent woman, but now it seems that she is clearly a ruthless person."
Little witch! If you fall into her hands, you will definitely not have a good life."
unlucky!
What bad luck!
Winning three games in a row originally made Ma Xiaoyao feel very happy, but something like Ouyang Zilan happened, which immediately made Ma Xiaoyao feel bad.
No, I have to think of a way to deal with Ouyang Zilan, and I can't let her get too arrogant!
…
Ma Xiaoyao was depressed, and there was someone even more depressed than him. This person was Tao Dewang, the vice president of Imperial City College.
The dean is concurrently served by a prince. This prince has a loose temper and rarely interferes with the affairs of the Imperial City College. Most matters are handled by the deputy dean Tao Dewang. It can be said that Tao Dewang is the real person in charge of the Imperial City College.
In the spacious living room.
Tao Dewang sat on the chair, frowning: "You all tell me what to do next... That Ma Xiaoyao from Baihu Banner Academy won three games in a row, defeating a total of twenty-eight players and scoring two hundred points.
Eighty points, even if the players from our college can defeat Ma Xiaoyao tomorrow, Ma Xiaoyao can still be elected first with high scores in the end." On the territory of Imperial City College, being taken first by other students is simply unbelievable.
It's just a slap in the face of Imperial City College. It's so embarrassing.
"This... we didn't think it through beforehand." A burly-looking man smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that the White Tiger Banner Academy, which has always been weak, would actually produce such a genius! I have observed it carefully. Although Ma Xiaoyao is just
He is a fourth-level warrior, but he has the fighting skills of a fifth-level warrior... Ordinary players are no match for him."
"Yes, maybe even our Imperial City College will be wiped out tomorrow." An old man with half a head of white hair sighed.
"Nonsense!" Tao Dewang's face darkened: "That Ma Xiaoyao is great, but our students at Imperial City College are not bad either! We will definitely beat him tomorrow!"
When Tao Dewang got angry, everyone fell silent.
"What we are discussing now is how to stop Ma Xiaoyao from winning the first place!" Tao Dewang said with a heavier tone: "Speak out any ideas you have!"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one said anything.
"What? There's nothing we can do?" Tao Dewang waited for a long time, but no one spoke, and he suddenly became unhappy.
"Um...I have an idea..." a man sitting in the corner said.
"What's the solution? Tell me quickly!" Tao Dewang asked hurriedly.
"Uh..." The man licked his dry lips: "Tomorrow we will announce in public that the scoring system will be cancelled! Whoever persists to the end will be ranked first!"
"Doing this...doesn't it mean you are slapping yourself in the face?" Tao Dewang frowned: "The rules were customized by us, and now they are changed, isn't it a bit unreasonable..." In fact, this is what Tao Dewang thought, but he didn't want to start from the beginning.
I said it myself, and now someone has taken the initiative to bring it up. Tao Dewang happened to be the one to push the boat along. People nowadays love to play their own tricks. Are you tired of it?
"Compared with the reputation of Imperial City College, personal reputation... is nothing." The man said.
