Chapter 497 – My Name Is Zheng Longjiang

The moment Lan Xuanyu saw the honest youth, he understood everything. Help him bribing his sixth year opponent for him? He was the one who was going to participate in the competition! No wonder he agreed so readily; he was scheming against him. This guy had a cunning heart behind his honest appearance.

“Senior, is this really alright?” Lan Xuanyu looked at the honest youth opposite him and asked.

The honest youth laughed. “Junior, what’s wrong? Don’t worry, I will keep my word. I will definitely do what I promised you. Let’s get to know each other. My name is Zheng Longjiang, and I’m in my sixth year in the Outer Court.”

Zheng Longjiang, this name was naturally unfamiliar to Lan Xuanyu and the rest. The promise? That meant that he would still respect their one minute agreement and him still paying the 30 purple emblems. If not for Nana’s reminder, Lan Xuanyu might have been secretly delighted. But it was clear that he wouldn’t be. The person in front of him probably had the confidence to defeat them within a minute.

Right at this moment, Zheng Longjiang’s soft voice resounded in Lan Xuanyu’s ears. “It’s a pity, junior. You guys are first years. If you guys were fifth years, or even fourth years, losing to you guys wouldn’t have been a big deal. You’d just have to pay me a little more. But if I lose to first years, I’ll probably get beaten to death by my peers. I can’t take this risk! So, as a senior, let me remind you out of goodwill. One minute isn’t easy.”

Lan Xuanyu obviously didn’t think that the other party was being kind and smiled bitterly. “Senior, why do you look so anxious? If not for my first impression of you being a teacher and thinking that you were an Inner Court senior, I wouldn’t have fallen into your trap.”

Zheng Longjiang’s face darkened. “Junior, that’s not right. Although I’m not as good looking as you, I’m not that old, right? I’m only 18 years old this year. If you say I’m old, it will affect my happiness. This makes me very unhappy.”

The two of them conversed and what surprised them was that the referee did not appear and they were the only ones present.

Lan Xuanyu said in annoyance, “Even if we make you happy, what good will it do us?”

Zheng Longjiang nodded his head seriously and said thoughtfully, “That’s true. It doesn’t seem to be beneficial. Eh, why isn’t the referee here yet?”

Right at this moment, a figure of light floated down from the sky and stopped there. A cold voice resounded, “Zheng Longjiang, don’t try to play tricks on me. Focus on the competition, otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite. I will be the referee for today’s match.”

Both parties looked up at the same time and saw Ying Luohong floating in the sky, looking at Zheng Longjiang coldly.

Zheng Longjiang immediately revealed an aggrieved expression. “Dean, I’m not happy with what you’re saying! How am I not serious? I’m Zheng Longjiang, known as an honest and dependable young man!”

“Shut up! You’re reliable? You’re the most unreliable in the entire academy. Don’t you know what you’ve done? Don’t you know?” Ying Luohong said in annoyance.

Zheng Longjiang’s achievements in the Outer Court could be said to be too many to be counted. This guy had refused to go to the Inner Court in advance not because of dignified reasons such as he’ll miss being in the Outer court, but because it wasn’t easy to fool the seniors and teachers from the Inner Court. Even if he succeeded, it wouldn’t be easy to escape! He was best at fighting for various benefits within the rules. Compared to his honest appearance, he definitely had a black-bellied heart.
