Did Mo Fan remember the wrong date?
He already asked the junior who was on duty at the Three Step Tower to remind him of the time. Did that idiot tell him the wrong time?
How could this happen? The Zu Clan treated the duel as important as a national festival. The Magic Association was using it to get rid of old ideas and beliefs, and to motivate young Mages to become fighters, so it was supporting the duel.
The preliminaries among the young Mages had just finished recently. The rise of young Mages was currently the trending topic, and the duel between Mo Fan and Zu Xiangtian had gotten everyone’s attention.
Yet Mo Fan had skipped the duel that so many people were placing their attention on…
“I must say, everyone thought the people of the Black Vatican had assassinated you since you missed the duel, yet the actual reason was so stupid. What are you going to do now? Being stood up is going to feel worse than being defeated for Zu Xiangtian,” Zhao Manyan said.
“What else can I do? Just reschedule the duel. It’s only a slight delay… is he still at Fanxue Mountain? I’ll go roast him right now,” Mo Fan said.
“He should be there. Since you didn’t show up, Mu Ningxue might fight him on your behalf. You should go now, you might make it in time,” Zhao Manyan told him.
“Damn it, don’t let me find the name of that junior who was on duty at the Three Step Tower!” Mo Fan clenched his teeth.

Mo Fan headed to Fanxue Mountain right away. He realized how serious it was when he saw the number of people there.
“Since when is Fanxue Mountain as popular as the Parthenon Temple? Why are there so many people under the mountain?” Mo Fan exclaimed.
“Just get your ass up there!” Zhao Manyan swore at him.
He had been forced to give Mo Fan a lift with his Magical Wings, as he did not want to take a plane. How many kilometers was it from the Magic City to Feiniao City? His Wings were almost broken by the long flight!
Mo Fan landed on Fanxue Mountain. He initially thought he was going to have a grand entrance, but he could only sneak in via the back door when he saw the people complaining about him down the hill.
The duel yesterday had been canceled. Mu Ningxue was going to fight Zu Xiangtian on Mo Fan’s behalf today. Mo Fan had promised to trample Zu Xiangtian himself. How could he leave the job to his woman?
Everyone was preparing for the duel when he walked into the meeting room. Mu Ningxue had already put on her battle outfit. She looked cool and unusually charming in the tight black outfit.
“I’m here!” Mo Fan said.
Everyone turned around. They all had strange expressions when they saw it was Mo Fan.
“Mo Fan?”
“Mo Fan!”
“Where the hell have you been? Mentor, you have no idea how arrogant that Zu Xiangtian was. He gathered a thousand of his men on Fanxue Mountain to curse you out for the whole day. The words were so terrible that I don’t even dare to repeat them. I even had the urge to tear them into pieces if it weren’t for my lack of strength!” Bai Hongfei said angrily.
“Mo Fan, what happened? Everyone was worried about you.”
Mu Ningxue looked at Mo Fan. She did not speak, but her eyes were full of worry. She finally calmed down after she saw he was okay.
“Ugh, the people of the Black Vatican set me up. I almost ended up like Mu Bai, but I was being awesome and impressive as I usually am. I killed the scum of the Black Vatican and came here right away.” Mo Fan believed it was better to use that excuse after thinking about it.
“I told you it was the Black Vatican. Brother Fan, you’re the best!” Zhang Xiaohou had shown up too. He had purposely asked for some leave to watch the duel.
