Chapter 318: Coming! (2/2)

Hearing Tong Gui’s voice from behind him. Jiang Wei paused, and wondered what else they had to deal with.

…..

Standing in the air, Ai Hui looked at the mess on the ground and sighed, thinking that Miao Hai was strongest opponent he had met in the last few years.

The challenge was different from previous battles. It was like a big exam.

In the fight with Shi Youguang, he was in the dark, while his enemy was in the open, and he won by ambush and sneak attacks. But the fight today was a one-on-one confrontation, during which he could not take advantage like that any more.

The battle didn’t last long, but it was extremely dangerous, especially the hellfire. If it were not for the [Skyheart Flaming Lotus Lamp], he’d have already lost.

In this fight, he had also done his utmost. The [Gale Bat Slash] and [Skyheart Flaming Lotus Lamp] that he had practiced long and hard, and [Sword Chime] and [Soaring Flames, Cascading Muslin] that he only comprehended recently had all been utilized in this fight.

The fight lasted only a short period of time, but it was a battle of wit and courage. The mental and physical pressure was tremendous.

Now as the battle came to an end, Ai Hui felt that he had used up everything he owned, which seldom happened to him.

He felt that anyone could defeat him now.

Miao Hai was completely destroyed by Ai Hui’s last move, [Soaring Flames, Cascading Muslin], and both his spirit and body had vanished. Even his cloud deck was destroyed and turned into fog that dissipated into the air. The only things that were left were the Baneslayers.

Ai Hui picked up the two Baneslayers and sighed. Miao Hai was not a vile guy, but he was an excellent opponent. It was a pity that he almost didn’t leave anything behind. So Ai Hui reluctantly had to take the two javelins Miao Hai left in memory of this opponent.

Therefore, under the gaze of everyone of the city, he carried the javelins and flew back to his training hall groggily.

Ai Hui looked exhausted and his azure wings were flapping heavily.

It seemed that crossing the city had taken all his effort.

A puzzled look appeared on Ai Hui’s face.

This was not what he had expected. He thought that by now, someone should have jumped out and accused him of being heartless and cruel, and then a group of people would come to take him down.

But why was there no one?

No follow-up? That was it?

Even if there was no brotherhood between the conspirators, didn’t they have brains? That was all they could think up?

If so, the rest of the tricks he had arranged would be wasted!

Ai Hui felt remorseful about the money he had used and the time he had spent with Lou Lan on this follow-up arrangement.

And now it was wasted?

Ai Hui still could hardly believe this result. He knew that it was less likely he’d get anything useful from Miao Hai, but he thought they would definitely come to retaliate. So he had made delicate arrangements in hope of getting some benefits this way.

But he now knew that this hope seemed no longer achievable, which meant that in this fight, he only got two Baneslayers in reward. Of course the whole set of Baneslayers was of great value, but now as he only had two of them, it wasn’t worth much.

Thinking about the essence elemental beans he had spent, Ai Hui almost cried. What a money-losing deal!

Because of this, everyone in Peace City saw something very weird. Although Ai Hui was the one who won the fight, he looked melancholy and not the slightest hint of happiness could be seen on his face.

Those observing businessmen were also confused.

But they were calm enough. They were also all waiting, including Sea Pacific Enterprise and Evergold Enterprise. The purchase prohibition on Ai Hui’s fire lotus seeds was given from the superiors. The shrewd businessmen knew that the Ling residence must have been involved in this.

As the Ling residence had taken action, it would not stop so easily.

So everybody was waiting.

Just at that moment, a group of people appeared in the sky far away and were flying towards Ai Hui at a fast speed.

This excited everyone, especially Ai Hui, who began to think about how to act his part well enough to lure them into his trap.

The group of people soon came in front of Ai Hui. Their clothes were all embroidered with the badge of Elders Guild.

Finally!

The bystanders said to themselves in their hearts, and widened their eyes.

Finally!

Ai Hui said to himself, and began to prepare to feign defeat.

A middle-aged man, who looked cold and gloomy, stepped forward and asked, ”Are you Ai Hui?”

Ai Hui pretended to be suffering from severe injuries, and asked with fright and vigilance, ”Who are you?”

The middle-aged man stared at Ai Hui. The flicker in his eyes looked fierce. Then he took out a round insignia.

The insignia was about the size of a palm, with a red word, ”Order”, on the front and the badge of Elders Guild on back. This was called the Elders Guild Order, and it would be used only when the order to be conveyed was officially issued by the Elders Guild.

The bystanders were surprised. The Ling residence had connections everywhere!

Ai Hui was desperate. If the manipulator was Elders Guild, then he’d better pack up his things and prepare to run.

The middle-aged man unclenched his fist and the insignia was suspended in the air. The moment he pointed to it with one finger, the insignia began to shine with glorious radiance, and an old, but dignified voice could be heard all over the city.

”As agreed by the Elders Guild, I hereby announce that Wang Shouchuan, the deceased teacher of Central Pine Academy, is honored with the title of Master. As a teacher of Central Pine Academy, Master Shouchuan had been working conscientiously with perseverance and consistency for decades. He had played a key role during the battle in Central Pine City. Besides this, the school of thought that he created was unique, unprecedented and meaningful…”

Ai Hui was shocked.

The others’ facial expressions changed too.

Although they had already known this information, the Fu family’s Big Sister and her brothers were also surprised. They didn’t expect that it would be announced at this time in this situation. They were further shocked by what they heard next.

”His great deeds blessed every one of us. And his disciple, Ai Hui, followed in his footsteps and devoted himself to studying his teacher’s theories. He had killed the Sand Sentinel to prevent people in the Peace City from suffering. This is a brilliant contribution. Therefore, Ai Hui is awarded as follows…”

Ai Hui was dumbstruck.

Everyone else in Peace City was also dumbstruck.
