Chapter 699 - It Always Feels Like the Spring Festival Is Not Over Yet... (2/2)

Outside the major casinos, people laughed until they suffocated. Some people jumped from the height of dozens of feet on the spot. Large restaurants were so full of traffic that they needed to transfer the stock liquors to meet the needs of customers. The streets and alleys were full of drunks lying on their backs. Within the shops, several authorized merchandise related to the Deity Stage contestants were swept away.

All the rooms in the inns were full, and every room had the same ‘ah-ah’ and ‘uh-uh’ sounds, like a symphony that even the soundproof array in the room could not contain. This day was the carnival day of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals. Many men and women who had never met each other, just because they shouted the cheers of victory or supported the same Deity Stage contestant, could be found kissing together out in the open. They then joined hands to spend time in the inn.

The Elders of Kunlun shouted that morality of the world had fallen, and thus when the Grand compet.i.tion ended, they must reshape the overall moral standard of Nine Regions with the immortal treasures from the tomb. Meanwhile, these festivities overjoyed Four Element Supreme. He repeatedly praised the Nine Regions for its great achievements. He wished the contestants in the compet.i.tion to win in succession to provide more opportunities for mating and breeding.

In any case, most people were euphoric about this victory. However, there were always a few exceptions in the big picture.

w.a.n.g Lu was one of them.

——

“This victory is so odd that we still can’t identify where it came from, so I don’t think it’s any different from losing.”

In one courtyard in Immortal Five Area, w.a.n.g Lu said to his secretary Hai Yunfan with a straight face, “Since it’s a lost, in fact, we need not issue the victory bonus. Of course, during this period, we have to prepare for hard battles ahead, so we should still issue the bonus. However, we would exempt tardy men who exhibit mediocre behaviors.”

Hai Yunfan smiled and said, “For example, you don’t have to send a bonus to your respected Master, right?”

w.a.n.g Lu nodded, “The child can be taught.”

“Child can be taught my a.s.s, I’m right here you know!” w.a.n.g Wu slapped the table angrily. “Do you guys think I don’t exist!? Who told you I don’t work hard? If it weren’t for me, how could they have won so easily?”

w.a.n.g Lu immediately asked, “Please explain in detail your half-a-cent connection to this victory then.”

“I’m your Master, and you are the master planner of this match. Is this connection not enough?”

w.a.n.g Lu thought for a moment and said, “I haven’t cut off the Master-disciple relations.h.i.+p with you yet?”

“… How could you be so bold to me? All right, all right, what do you want from me, just say it? Don’t make a joke about this sensitive topic okay?”

w.a.n.g Lu earnestly said, “There’s indeed one thing. I want you to accompany me to the Tomb of Immortals. I want to talk to Xuan Mo.”

This shocked w.a.n.g Wu. “You still want to find Xuan Mo? Do you really not want to surrender until death is upon you? First, you find her before the match; now, you want to meet after the match. Do you really think that’s not suspicious? It’s rare for us to have close contact with someone on the opposite camp, so it’s not good for anyone to force her out of her comfort.”

After a pause, w.a.n.g Wu expressed a more surprised look. “Or do you really have a romantic relations.h.i.+p with that woman? Oh, my little w.a.n.g Lu has suddenly grown up, he has begun to look for women. Xuan Mo is a good woman. Once you’re tired of playing with her, remember to call me.”

w.a.n.g Lu sighed and ignored his Master’s nonsense. “I still can’t figure out what happened to that match. The Earth Immortals lost too much.”

w.a.n.g Wu laughed and said, “What’s strange is that the Earth Immortals don’t want to win. They gave away the victory just like that. Everyone who has seen the scene understands it.”

“The question is, why did they relinquish the victory? The score of the match is as high as one thousand and five hundred, which is something you just can’t let it go. Moreover, let’s say they can give up the points, what about Flesh Ma.s.sacre and Thousand Illusion Child? Do they even care for their lives?”

w.a.n.g Wu said, “Isn’t that obvious? They offended people, and they simply targeted them.”

w.a.n.g Lu said, “Flesh Ma.s.sacre and Bai Ze are fine, but how could Xuan Mo, with her temperament, offend anyone?”

w.a.n.g Wu replied. “Probably because she is pregnant with your flesh and blood, so she is being treated as unclean.”

w.a.n.g Lu said, “… If nothing else, these Earth Immortals are all comrades-in-arms who used to fight against the Fallen Immortals. They lived and died together. What contradictions do they have to let their comrades die in the match? When all is said and done, the Grand Compet.i.tion is just a compet.i.tion. So what if they lose? They just merely lost control of the next step. Is it because winning the compet.i.tion is not so important? Do they think the peace among their team is a better bet than their comrades’ lives? Now that they don’t even care about the overall situation, to what extent has this internal contradiction acc.u.mulated?”

Having listened to w.a.n.g Lu, Hai Yunfan said, “Aren’t these all your a.s.sumptions? Do you have any proof to support those a.s.sumptions?”

w.a.n.g Lu said, “That’s why I want to ask Xuan Mo about it. This matter involves the overall rhythm of the Grand Compet.i.tion, so we must not be careless. Therefore, to whom it may concern, but you’re dilly-dallying by my side in the name of part-time jobs while receiving high subsidies… Don’t you think you should do something good sometimes?”

w.a.n.g Wu sighed. “Okay, okay, fine. Tell me the time, and I will accompany you to this dangerous place.”
