C24 (1/2)
Now that Huo Tian had mentioned it before, the veins on Huo Tian's body popped out. He used one hand to pull at his collar and laughed merrily as he looked at Huo Lao and said: ”You're causing trouble.”
”I came for your highest prize. After the competition, I would have armor.” Su Wan Qing grinned with confidence.
Who?
These words stumped Huo Lao, as he looked at the curious Su Wan Qing with a face full of pity: ”I'll tell you after you win.”
Su Wan Qing laughed without a heart, and said while looking at everyone with a proud and pampered expression: ”I don't want to know who it is, I only want the prize money!”
After saying that, Su Wan Qing domineeringly signed the form, and glanced at Huo Lao with a smile that was not a smile, as if he was absolutely not going to be duped, which made Huo Lao feel extremely awkward.
Huo Lao looked at the group of people who had disappeared behind the counter after receiving the forms. He then turned to the warriors beside him and said thoughtfully: ”Tell them to not show any mercy.
”Yes sir!”
Watching the guard leave, Huo Lao quickly turned around and walked towards the stairs leading to the upper levels. He took the wine jug from the servant girl beside him and walked towards the VIP room that wasn't too far away. The inside of the Sky Room was extremely quiet, and if he didn't go closer, he wouldn't have expected that there would be someone sitting inside.
Behind the beautiful screen sat a man with a jade crown with white teeth, lazily lying on the soft couch with one hand supporting his head, his eyes gazing at the square not too far away and his face showing a trace of weariness. He was dressed in black silk clothes that made him look extremely noble, his features so exquisite that even women would feel ashamed of themselves, and even though there was a scar on his forehead, it was hard to look at him.
Su Yun Yang was seated beside him, looking calm, with a chess piece in his hand. The two of them were deep in thought, while the maid beside them became even more cautious.
”Your Highness!” Huo Lao bowed respectfully as he looked at the man who had succeeded in making himself look like a prince.
Maybe it was because she was nervous that the maid's hands were trembling, revealing a look of grievance under her beautiful face. Her tears kept rolling down her face, because she had been holding the board for too long, causing her entire body to stiffen.
They had all said that the King Chen would not live to see eighteen years old, that he was born weak and had been driven out of the imperial family by the emperor, or even the capital city. Perhaps he felt that he was in debt for it, but the emperor had been doting on the King Chen for the past few years, and no one could shake his position in the Ximen Imperial Family, even with his ruthless and evil reputation.
”Your Highness... Today, he had come to help his students! ”He has already signed up for the Colosseum.” Huo Lao spoke softly, but everyone around him understood, Su Yun Yang who was holding onto a chess piece frowned and looked up at Huo Lao, private battles were against the rules in Dragon Cavalry Academy.
Yu Wen Zhan played with the teacup, and glanced at the silent Su Yun Yang, then laughed sinisterly: Who is so daring?
”It's Huo Tian.”
