689 Unwilling-to-be-Left-Out Little Baldy (2/2)

In that interview, there was an interesting dialogue.

”Excuse me, Daoist Master Luo Xiao, do you feel surprised at the results that you have achieved now?”

This question was actually a standard question. Luo Xiao could modestly reply the same as before, such as: Yes, I did not expect to play so well, it's probably because of the support from everyone. I hope to continue to have this support in the future so that I can make my due contributions to the Grand Competition.

This time, however, Luo Xiao chose another answer.

”Yes, I didn't expect that this ten consecutive wins would be delayed this late. I thought it would happen earlier. Unfortunately, my applications for the previous matches were put down. Thus, I could not prove myself at that time.”

At that time, the reporter who heard this was stunned for a long time before he realized that Luo Xiao was openly targeting Wang Lu.

Thus, the reporter immediately threw out more exciting questions.

”I think Daoist Master Luo Xiao also knows that your ten consecutive win record has broken the previous record in this Grand Competition so far. The previous record holder is Supreme Wang Lu with six consecutive wins. What do you think of this?”

Luo Xiao smiled and replied, ”This is not a simple numerical comparison. Wang Lu's achievements are much higher than mine, and his competitions were much heavier in difficulty… However, this is only temporary. Grand Competition has only arrived at the halfway point. Most of the key competitions haven't started yet. So I think I have enough time to surpass the previous records.”

When it came to this, his meaning was already clear enough.

In this regard, people were amazed at Luo Xiao's overnight celebrity status, but also marveled at the fact that there were some cultivators of this generation that dare to challenge Wang Lu out in the open… And then they began to wonder how Wang Lu would react to that.

As everyone knew, Wang Lu didn't like Luo Xiao from the beginning, and the suppression against the latter had been talked about by many people over the meal. At this time, Luo Xiao's ten consecutive victories had made Wang Lu's suppression policy look very embarrassing. Thus, now it was reasonable that the tit-for-tat move was the retaliation.

Whether Luo Xiao could shake Wang Lu's position or not, regardless of Wang Lu's gesture to this rising star, what attitude would he take?

As everyone knew, Wang Lu never seemed to be a magnanimous person.

In one of the courtyards in the Immortal Five area, Wang Lu looked at the latest report presented by Hai Yunfan in rage.

”What a joke! They actually dare to question my intention? These media reporters are more and more knowledgeable about and resorting to stealing and trickery. If I am really petty, it would be very easy for me to shut down several newspapers and magazines publication with my present authority. That is to say, it's exactly because they knew of my magnanimity that they dare to jump up and do this in front of me.”

On this, Hai Yunfan disagreed, ”I don't think it's that simple. These newspapers and magazines have been pushing for Luo Xiao's success in the past, so obviously, some people are manipulating them. At first, I thought it was Four Element Supreme, but after investigating it, I found that this was not the case.”

Wang Lu said, ”It doesn't matter who is manipulating behind them. The important thing is that, since they have questioned it, I must give my reply. Little Hai, help me prepare a celebration ceremony in two days.”

”Celebration?” Hai Yunfan frowned and said, ”To celebrate your successive wins?”

Wang Lu smiled and said, ”Wrong. This is not to celebrate my successive victories, but to celebrate Luo Xiao's ten winning streak. Doesn't he want to be in the spotlight? Then I'll give him the spotlight!”

Two days later, the celebration ceremony set by Hai Yunfan officially began.

The theme was to celebrate Daoist Master Luo Xiao's ten consecutive victories. The organizer was the Organizing Committee of the Grand Competition, meaning that this was a very high-level celebration. The host was the chief planner and standing elder of the Organizing Committee, which was Wang Lu himself. This occasion naturally became a heated discussion in the City of Immortals. The way people saw it, Wang Lu's arrangement definitely harbored unfathomable motives. Perhaps he had set up an ambush squad at the celebration, ready to chop Luo Xiao into the mud.

However, Luo Xiao could not avoid this ceremony because Wang Lu had also invited many Supremes from Heavenly Sage Hall, including Supreme He Tu who had always supported Wang Lu. Thus, the occasion was unmatched in grandeur.

Even though he knew there would not be a good feast at the banquet, how could Luo Xiao dare to ignore so many Elders?

Thus, Luo Xiao finally came.

Then he immediately regretted it.

At the beginning of the ceremony, he realized that he really shouldn't have come today. Even if he had to tell an excuse such as he had suffered injuries in the match a few days ago, it would've been better than attending such a ceremony.

There was no ambush squad in the ceremony. In fact, Wang Lu did not show any trace of hostility. He just sat at the rostrum with a serious expression while reading aloud the report in his hand.

The title of the report was, the study of the report of Daoist Master Luo Xiao's exemplary deeds situation.
