"I ate a little, so I wasn't hungry."
Su Bai nodded.
"Okay then, let's go back to the hotel first, take a rest and then go have dinner. It happens to be almost noon."
Chen Ruoxue said, holding Su Bai's hand and walking out of the airport.
"Yes." Su Bai nodded and let her pull him.
"By the way, have you finished what you need to do in the Monster Wilderness?"
Chen Ruoxue turned around and asked again.
"It's done. Thanks to Senior Wei Ya's help, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to come back." Su Bai nodded.
"That's good. Actually, I'm thinking it might be better if you don't come. This game is not as simple as we thought."
Chen Ruoxue sighed and said.
Su Bai was silent for a moment and asked: "Is it because this competition involves the ownership of the city where it will be held next year?"
"Yes, there are a lot of interests involved. It's too complicated. During the semifinals, several provinces felt like they were giving in."
Chen Ruoxue sighed.
The interests involved in where the city league is held are very large. It seems to be a competition based on strength, but in fact, everyone has a tacit understanding of which city and province each year, and there is a set of rules secretly.
"It's okay, we just have to compete seriously. We have come to this point anyway."
Su Bai hugged her shoulders and said.
Ziyu transformed from a kitten into a big cat and took Chen Ruoxue and Su Bai to the hotel where their club was located.
As soon as they arrived at the hotel entrance, a group of people who had been waiting here stopped them: "Please wait a moment."
"What's the matter?" Su Bai looked at them.
"Hello, I'm Hou Qingfeng, Hou Lan's cousin. Can you give me a chance to chat in the cafe next door?"
A young man dressed in trendy clothing, with yellow hair permed and dressed like a Bangzi actor, stepped out of the Rolls-Royce, looked at Su Bai and the two of them and said with a smile.
"If you have anything to say, just say it here. We don't have that much time."
Su Bai said expressionlessly.
Su Bai's words made Hou Qingfeng pause slightly. Although his face did not change much, he continued to smile and said: "That's it. As far as I know, your relationship with my cousin Hou Jie seems to be unusual. It is better than that of ordinary teachers and students." The relationship is much closer.
My cousin was alone with you several times before she disappeared, and she seemed to have driven quietly to the mountains, so I wanted to ask about her whereabouts. You should know.
Before my cousin left, she said that she already had someone she liked, and she had given away her whole body to make us give up. She would never agree to the marriage.
After the Wang family found out about this, they have already chosen to marry my sister, so my cousin has nothing to worry about, so I want you to inform her that she can come back, and the family will not blame her.
And we will not stop whoever she wants to marry. We hope she can come back soon. "
Hou Qingfeng behaves in a gentle and gentle manner, not in a hurry, and coupled with his handsome face, which is only slightly worse than that of Yu Su Bai, he gives people the impression of a humble young man.
But his eyes actually kept falling on Chen Ruoxue's face, observing the changes in her expression.
His words stunned Su Bai, then shook his head and said, "I don't know where Teacher Hou is, so I can't bring you a message."
"That's such a pity, but just tell us when you see her. Don't worry."
Hou Qingfeng said with a smile.
"Okay, I understand, is there anything else? If not, we'll leave."
Su Bai nodded and said in a calm and unhurried voice, and it was impossible to see any mental activity on his part.
In fact, he was thinking about how to deal with this guy without finding any trace. He could tell from his expression that this guy had provoked Chen Ruoxue.
"One last thing, I sincerely invite you two to join our Hou family, and I can promise that I will pay for the expenses of raising pets for you in the future.
You must know that after reaching the monarch level, pets will consume tens of millions just for basic energy replenishment every day, and a little training will cost hundreds of millions.
Without a stable source of income, just venturing into the monster wilderness is not enough. "
Hou Qingfeng said again.
"Okay, we will consider it." Su Bai nodded and said.
"What about Chen Ruoxue, are you interested? You don't need to do anything to join the Hou family. You just need to help at some critical moments. I won't disturb you at ordinary times."
Hou Qingfeng invited again with a smile.
"I'm not interested, I'm sorry." Chen Ruoxue refused more decisively than Su Bai.
After Chen Ruoxue finished speaking, Su Bai patted Ziyu, and Ziyu took the two of them away. She also bared her teeth at the people blocking the way, indicating that she would kill anyone who was blocking the way.
After Su and Bai entered the hotel, Hou Qingfeng's expression gradually darkened: "Damn, you really think of yourself as a person. Let's go."
"Master Feng, it seems that the relationship between Chen Ruoxue and Su Bai is deeper than you thought. Her expression didn't change at all after what she said just now."
Several subordinates got into the car and said.
"Hmph, the seeds of doubt have been planted, and they will sprout sooner or later. If I didn't value the two pure-blooded divine dragons in her hands, I wouldn't even bother chasing a shabby shoe like her.
Those who are prettier and stronger than her don't like to play anymore, so Su Bai, who has never seen the world, treats her as a treasure. "
Hou Qingfeng said disdainfully.
Pure-blood dragon pets are in a monopoly in the alliance, and are only owned by the few gyms and families that were originally established.
If other forces want it, the best way is to recruit this kind of pure-blooded dragon pet that naturally appears in the wild into their own family, so that they can have dragon pets and pass them on.
Hou Qingfeng and many other people only got interested after seeing the two dragons in Chen Ruoxue's hands, but Su Bai became a thorn in the side, and many people wanted to kill him.
"That's right, those talented and beautiful girls who are so high on TV all surrender to Master Feng's crotch. She is nothing."
"But Lord Marquis, I heard that Su Bai has some background. He seems to be in the Pet Masters Association, and he seems to have an ancestral blood dragon in his hand. Isn't it a good idea to play like this?"
One person reminded softly.
"Hmph, he is nothing. If my stupid cousin Hou Lan hadn't given him an egg from a purgatory tyrant, would he be where he is today
He's just a white-eyed wolf who doesn't know how to be grateful. I invited him kindly, but that's not a compliment. A guy who came out of a ravine, really thinks this society is as simple as he imagined? Can you rise if you have talent
Can he touch the ancestral blood dragon? Is he worthy
He would be dead even without the Ancestral Blood Dragon. Do you think I am the only one targeting him
This is the territory of the Wang family. As long as the person dies, the rest of the background is just a cloud. "
A sneer appeared on Hou Qingfeng's face, "When he dies, I will still chase his girlfriend and play in front of his portrait."
Several subordinates didn't answer. They all knew that they couldn't be persuaded. What Hou Qingfeng couldn't stand the most was that civilians with no background were so arrogant in front of him. The last few times people who did this had a miserable end, playing with other people's girlfriends in front of their boyfriends. He never did less.
"Let's go, I'll take you to play in heaven and earth today." Hou Qingfeng said after calming down.
They drove away and soon arrived at the heaven and earth a few kilometers away. They were about to get off the car and go to the club.
Suddenly an invisible force appeared out of thin air, and the entire Rolls-Royce turned into ashes silently. From the beginning to the end, no one in the car made any resistance.
But some people on the road nearby didn't seem to notice this scene at all.
…
In the hotel elevator, Su Bai looked at Chen Ruoxue and said, "I finished the college entrance examination that day, so I just went for a walk with Teacher Hou, nothing else."
"Do you think I will believe other people's instigation? Do you look down on my trust in you too much? And don't I still know who Teacher Hou is?"
Chen Ruoxue said angrily that Hou Qingfeng's words, which he thought were perfect, were no different from farts in Chen Ruoxue's opinion.
"Haha, I know, but it's better to say it. It's nothing."
Su Bai said.
"It's very annoying. Just because I used two dragons in the game, a lot of people have come to bother me recently. These people are so shameless. I even said that I have a boyfriend and they keep annoying me.
It made me afraid to go out. If I had known it, I wouldn’t have come to the competition. "
Chen Ruoxue hugged Su Bai's waist, leaned on Su Bai and said irritably.
"They are just coveting the two dragons in your hands. Don't worry, now that I'm here, you just need to stand behind me."
Su Bai said, he hugged Chen Ruoxue gently.
Mainly because they have no background, so anyone dares to harass them.
There is nothing we can do about it. This society has developed for so many years, and the power of chaebols and capital is huge, so they are naturally extremely arrogant.
"Hmm~"
Chen Ruoxue buried her head in Su Bai's arms and nodded.
Soon they went up to the third floor and entered the club suite.
"Su Bai, you are welcome to come in time."
In the living room, Yu Lingyue and others quickly welcomed him with a smile.
"Thank you, I will try my best to win the game the day after tomorrow."
Su Bai responded with a smile.
Li Xing poured two glasses of ice cola for the two of them, and Yu Lingyue handed the collected information about his opponent to Su Bai.
Su Bai looked at the information. In the national league, their opponents were much stronger than them. Among the five, the one with the lowest strength also had a commanding-level mid-level pet.
The strength of the captain and vice-captain is unclear. They have at least commander-level pets, and according to speculation, they may even have monarch-level pets.
Su Bai looked at the information and felt that he had no chance of winning. His teammates were too weak.
In fact, this is normal. It is difficult for ordinary people to compare with these children of the family who have not worried about resources since childhood and are guided by professional trainers. What they can fight for is combat experience, the combat experience gained from fighting life and death in the monster wilderness, and the experience from the emperor level. At the beginning, there was no way to rely on resources anymore.
"Where is Director Tang?" Su Bai asked curiously.
"He's not here. I don't know where he went. He left yesterday." Yu Lingyue spread his hands and said.
"Can we say that he has given up the game?"
Su Bai raised his head and asked.
He suddenly became disappointed with the game and rushed over in a hurry, but the result was this
Everyone else was also silent. Tang Long left without saying a word at this critical moment, and his meaning was self-evident.
"I don't know what he thinks, but I really want to win."
After a long time, Yu Lingyue said, "The result is not important anymore, just do your best."
"Okay, I'll go back to the room first."
Su Bai breathed out and asked Chen Ruoxue to take him to her room to rest.
It's really ironic. It was Tang Long who asked him earnestly to help win the championship, but now he is the first to leave, which is completely unreliable.
However, his coming here actually had nothing to do with Tang Long. He came mainly for Chen Ruoxue.
"It's okay. We can just play casually in this match." After returning to the room, Chen Ruoxue comforted Su Bai and said.
"I just feel unworthy for you. Besides, I asked you to help me win the semifinals. I'm really sorry. It's all my fault."
Su Baidao said that reaching the semi-finals was all thanks to Chen Ruoxue. She almost exposed all her cards in order to reach the semi-finals.
But Tang Long left directly on the eve of the finals, damn it.
And what made Su Bai most angry was that even if he tried his best to win the championship, Tang Long would still be able to enjoy the fruits of his labor for free in the end.
"I'm fine. Just treat it as exercise. From now on, we can just play normally. Don't expose all your cards anymore. That will put both of us in danger. We are unfamiliar with the place here. Your little blood dragon is still here." There are always people coveting it.”
Chen Ruoxue took Su Bai's hand and said.
Su Bai was silent and didn't speak.
"Promise me, please. It's just a competition, it's not that important. This is not the only way to participate in the King's round-robin competition. Listen to me, otherwise I will ignore you."
Chen Ruoxue rubbed Su Bai's face and said softly.
"Okay, I promise you." Su Bai took a deep breath, "Go to hell with the competition. I won't participate in it anymore. There's no point in actually riding a horse."
He also looked away. No matter how many competitions he participated in, his strength would not improve more.
"Thank you, you are so kind." Chen Ruoxue kissed him.
The two chatted for a while, and when it was almost noon, Chen Ruoxue said: "Let's order takeout. It's very troublesome to eat out."
"Okay, let's order takeout."
Su Bai said.
After dinner, Su Bai didn't go out in the afternoon and stayed in the hotel room.
At night, Su Bai and Su Bai were playing games, and there was a thump at the door: "Su Bai Ruoxue, are you asleep?"
"Li Xing, what's wrong?" Chen Ruoxue opened the door and asked.
"People from the Pet Management Bureau came to you and said they were conducting an investigation. They are in the living room."
Li Xing pointed to a few people in police uniforms standing in the living room and looked at Chen Ruoxue with envy.
"Understood, come right away." Chen Ruoxue nodded and said.
"Put on your shoes. Let's go out. The pet control department will have to find us."
Chen Ruoxue patted Su Bai.
Su Bai nodded, he heard everything Li Xing said.
"What's the matter?"
The two got dressed and came to the living room.
The people from the Pet Management Bureau took one look at them, took out five photos and said, "Please come with us to the Pet Management Bureau. We suspect that the deaths of these five people are related to you. According to the investigation, they ended up with you not far from the hotel. You met once."
"Hou Qingfeng? Are they dead?!"
Su Bai and the two were shocked when they saw the appearance of the five people in the photo. "We have met them once, but this should have nothing to do with us. We have been staying in the hotel since we left. You can adjust the surveillance."
"We have already investigated, but we still need you to go with us to the bureau to record a confession using polygraph skills. It only takes half an hour. Please cooperate with our investigation."
The three people from the Pet Management Bureau said.
"Oh well."
Su Bai looked at each other and said helplessly.
