In the past ten days, Liu Hao has been in seclusion in the cave and has no idea about the outside world.
And as soon as the ten days passed, Liu Hao came out of confinement.
However, he did not go anywhere else, he just opened the mountain door of the cave and waited there.
This day was the day he and Hermione made an appointment to go to the Fire Spirit Sect together.
He didn't know where Hermione was, but he knew that Hermione would come to him, so he waited in the cave.
Whoosh!
As soon as the sun came out, a figure came very quickly and landed outside the cave.
This person is not Hermione, but Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang saw the mountain gate open and wanted to go in.
However, before taking action, Liu Hao had already walked out.
"Where's Hermione?"
When Liu Hao arrived at Zhang Liang's side, there was no Hermione around. He couldn't help but frown and asked, "Why didn't she come over?"
Zhang Liang replied, "She wants to participate in the sect competition. She said she will wait until the sect competition is over before taking action."
Liu Hao nodded and said, "Oh, then I will wait for him."
Zhang Liang saw that Liu Hao really had no intention of participating in the sect competition, so he said, "She also said that you have to participate in the sect competition anyway."
"..."
Liu Hao frowned and said, "When did I say that I would participate in the sect competition?"
"You said before that you would participate in the battle for resources and get back the hand that is owed to you."
Zhang Liang said, "As for the number of places to participate in the resource competition, our Longyang Sect only has ten places!"
He added, "So, you must be among the top ten elite disciples in order to be qualified to participate in the resource competition."
Liu Hao asked, "Does it have to be a competition?"
"This is the rule, no one is exempt."
Zhang Liang replied, "Including Hermione, who is no longer a disciple of the Elite Hall, she will also participate."
Liu Hao didn't want to participate in this sect competition.
For a moment, I felt dizzy.
However, since the rules were set like this, he also knew that it would be impossible to break them just for him alone.
He said, "Can I just participate in one competition?"
"this……"
Zhang Liang frowned when he heard this.
"I will just pick one of the top ten disciples to fight."
Liu Hao said, "Based on my credit for risking my life to save Hermione twice, I believe that the master of Longyang Sect will not refuse, right?"
Hearing this, Zhang Liang's brows furrowed even deeper.
Seeing that Zhang Liang was silent, Liu Hao frowned even deeper.
His face also condensed slightly, "What? Does the leader of Longyang Sect have other ideas?"
Then he said, "Or maybe he doesn't take us seriously at all?"
"No."
Zhang Liang shook his head and said, "If he didn't take us seriously, he wouldn't have given us so much convenience. However, this matter is not a trivial matter after all, and I'm not sure he will agree, so...
You have to ask him before you can be sure."
In fact, Zhang Liang was actually unwilling to talk about this matter.
Because, he already had some opinions about He Tianlei in his heart.
He was not willing to owe He Tianlei any more favors.
But, as Liu Hao said, he saved Hermione twice.
Based on this merit, He Tianlei would definitely not refuse if he made such a request.
However, at this time, he no longer trusted He Tianlei, so he was not sure that He Tianlei would definitely agree.
Therefore, there was no immediate response.
"Then you go and ask first."
Liu Hao said, "I'll go over after it's confirmed."
Zhang Liang asked, "What if he disagrees?"
"If he really doesn't agree..."
Liu Hao said, "Then you tell him that I can participate in the sect competition, but anyone who fights with me has to sign a life and death certificate. I don't know when it will end. I only know that you will live and die until you get on the stage."
, life and death are determined by fate.”
Hearing this, Zhang Liang's expression also changed slightly.
However, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Okay, you wait."
After saying that, Zhang Liang turned around and left.
…
After Zhang Liang left, he did not go to find He Tianlei.
Instead, he found Hermione directly.
Ten days ago, He Tianlei came to him and explained the matter clearly to him.
Saying that there was some misunderstanding before, he promised that similar misunderstandings would never happen again in the future.
Originally, Zhang Liang felt quite comfortable.
I feel that since He Tianlei admitted his mistake, the matter will be over.
But, later, He Tianlei told him that Hermione had promised him to marry Wang Zhongyun of the Fire Spirit Sect.
The Huo Ling Sect has also agreed.
However, this matter must be kept secret for the time being, and it cannot be officially made public until the battle for resources is over.
After hearing this, Zhang Liang understood in his heart.
Hermione agreed to marry Wang Zhongyun as a condition for He Tianlei to apologize to them.
In other words, if Hermione had not agreed to the marriage, perhaps He Tianlei would not come to him.
Of course, this is not the most important thing.
The most important thing is that He Tianlei's purpose in telling him the news was undoubtedly to hope that Liu Hao would stop pestering Hermione.
Obviously, she was still guarding against him.
Therefore, Zhang Liang was completely disappointed with He Tianlei.
At that time, he didn't say anything, turned around and left.
Originally, he planned to leave with Liu Hao.
However, Hermione found him.
Hermione first apologized to him, and then said very sincerely, "I know that Junior Brother Liu Hao doesn't mean that to me. His purpose of saving me is only because of you and the Longyang Sect."
"I also know that my father's speculations have hurt you."
"But, I don't want you to leave Longyang Sect."
"I don't want you to tell Junior Brother Liu Hao about this."
"Because I don't want Junior Brother Liu Hao to think that we are all ungrateful people."
"My father cares about me, so although his guess is a bit excessive, it is out of protection for me after all. You can blame him, but I can't really blame him."
"Junior brother Liu Hao is a very sensitive person. Elder Zhang Liang, if you tell him about this, he will definitely be very disappointed with us."
"Of course, I also know that you must be very disappointed."
"I have no other request, I just hope that you don't leave before the battle for resources, and you don't tell Junior Brother Liu Hao about this."
"After the battle for resources, I will personally tell Junior Brother Liu Hao about the matter. At that time, if you want to leave or stay, I won't force you."
It was precisely because of Hermione's rebuttal that Zhang Liang stayed.
Therefore, at this time, he did not go to He Tianlei, but chose to go to Hermione.
After finding Hermione, Zhang Liang told Hermione about Liu Hao's request.
"He said he saved you twice. Based on this credit, it shouldn't be too much for him to want to be a little special."
Zhang Liang replied, "Furthermore, based on his strength, I believe you should also know that he has this strength."
"I know."
Hermione nodded and said, "I'll go discuss it with my father right now."
"besides……"
Seeing that Hermione was about to leave, Zhang Liang added, "He also said that if your father doesn't agree, then he will sign a life and death certificate."
He added, "He doesn't know how to stop. He only knows that it's life and death. If he really wants to take action, he won't hold anything back."
"I see."
Hermione nodded, then turned and left.
Zhang Liang continued to stay in Hermione's room and wait.
…
When Hermione found He Tianlei, it was when the sect competition was being prepared.
At this time, He Tianlei was sitting with the eight elders of Longyang Sect, discussing the agenda of the sect competition.
And, the training activities after the sect competition.
After all, after the sect competition ends, in less than half a year, there will be a battle for resources in the third region.
Naturally, we need to have a good discussion on how to improve everyone's strength.
"Father, I have something to discuss with you."
Due to her special status, Hermione can enter this place directly.
At this time, he made his request in front of everyone.
"whats the matter?"
He Tianlei didn't know what happened to Hermione, so he couldn't help but frown and asked.
Hermione asked, "Can we talk in private?"
He Tianlei asked, "Do you want to talk about your marriage to Wang Zhongyun?"
He didn't shy away from the eight elders and said it directly.
"Min'er and Wang Zhongyun's marriage?"
At this time, some elders were surprised, "Sect Master, when did this happen?"
He Tianlei smiled and said, "It was just a few days ago. However, this matter is of great importance and it is not suitable to announce it yet before the battle for resources, so I am not in a hurry to tell you."
"Wang Zhongyun is a genius cultivated by the Huo Ling Sect. The sect master has found a good son-in-law."
"..."
Immediately, all the elders began to congratulate.
However, the Great Elder Hong Tianming did not speak, and instead frowned.
Obviously, he was somewhat dissatisfied with this marriage.
After all, he once proposed marriage for his disciple Zuo Yuankun.
"Father, this is not the case!"
Seeing that He Tianlei had told this matter, Hermione's face was slightly troubled.
Of course he knew what his father meant.
He was just afraid that he would regret it, so if he said it in front of all the elders, he would not refute his face.
It is impossible to say that you are not angry.
However, Hermione was her daughter after all, so she endured it in the end.
"Oh, it's not this, what else is there?"
He Tianlei smiled and said, "All the elders sitting here are our own people. Is there anything that we cannot say?"
Hermione said in a deep voice, "It's about Junior Brother Liu Hao!"
Liu Hao's reputation in Longyang Sect is not good.
In the eyes of these elders, Liu Hao might just be a waste.
Therefore, Liu Hao's request is very likely to be rejected.
Hermione wanted to discuss the matter with her father first, and then let his father step in and force the decision.
But now, if it were raised in front of all the elders, it was unclear whether his father would force the decision.
"Okay, I get it now."
When He Tianlei heard this, he smiled and said, "Is he not planning to participate in the sect competition again? Okay, I understand, let him practice well as he wishes."
"Sect Master, I'm afraid this is against the rules, isn't it?"
At this time, the Great Elder Hong Tianming spoke up and said, "I have often heard Yuan Kun mention this Liu Hao, saying that he has been a member of the sect for forty years and has not participated in the four sect competitions.
"
"Moreover, he himself entered the Longyang Sect through connections."
"His cultivation resources also come from the elite disciples' share."
"Sect Master, if such a person does not participate in the sect competition, then how about you let other disciples do it?"
After saying this, other elders also followed suit.
"Yes, yes, this Liu Hao has been in the sect for forty years and has not participated in four sect competitions. This is a bit too much."
"Although the Eighth Elder is only a disciple, he can't treat him specially every time, right?"
"If you take care of me once or twice now and then, let's forget it. If you keep treating me like this, I'm afraid the sect's rules won't be upheld."
"..."
Almost all the elders voiced their opposition.
He Tianlei waved his hand and said, "This kid helped Min'er a lot when he and Min'er went to the polar abyss for training. Now, he is also injured. Let's forget it this time. I will definitely do it next time
Let him participate."
When it comes to this, the tone is set.
Although the elders were still dissatisfied, they didn't say anything more.
Hermione frowned and said, "Father, it's not that Junior Brother Liu Hao won't participate in the sect competition, but that he just wants to compete. His purpose is also very simple, as long as he gets a quota in the resource competition."
"..."
At this moment, He Tianlei's expression turned a bit bad.
The other elders also looked a little unhappy.
Obviously, they all knew that He Tianlei was lying!
Everyone is going to get a quota in the ‘Resource War’, and this is obviously due to careful preparation.
However, it would be too funny to participate in only one competition and then get a spot in the resource competition, right?
"You only participate in one competition and you have to get a spot in the resource competition?"
The Great Elder spoke first and said with a sneer, "Min'er, I want to ask, did he designate an opponent? Or can he just fight with anyone?"
Hermione thought for a moment and then replied, "He probably just wants to be in the top ten."
"He just wants to be in the top ten?"
The Great Elder Hong Tianming laughed and said, "It's easy. Let him fight Yuan Kun. If he wins Yuan Kun, we will give him the spot."
Zuo Yuankun is the chief disciple of the Elite Hall.
If you win against Zuo Yuankun, you will definitely be qualified to participate in the resource war.
However, it is obviously not an easy task to defeat Zuo Yuankun.
Even though Hermione had a certain degree of confidence in Liu Hao's strength, she didn't think Liu Hao would definitely be able to win over Zuo Yuankun.
Therefore, Hermione frowned at her father He Tianlei.
However, what disappointed him was that He Tianlei did not speak.
Obviously, he had no intention of interrupting at all.
