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

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 competition 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 competition 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.

Wang 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, Wang 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?”

Wang Lu nodded, ”The child can be taught.”

”Child can be taught my ass, I'm right here you know!” Wang 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?”

Wang 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?”

Wang Lu thought for a moment and said, ”I haven't cut off the Master-disciple relationship 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?”

Wang 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 Wang 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, Wang Wu expressed a more surprised look. ”Or do you really have a romantic relationship with that woman? Oh, my little Wang 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.”

Wang 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.”

Wang 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 Massacre and Thousand Illusion Child? Do they even care for their lives?”

Wang Wu said, ”Isn't that obvious? They offended people, and they simply targeted them.”

Wang Lu said, ”Flesh Massacre and Bai Ze are fine, but how could Xuan Mo, with her temperament, offend anyone?”

Wang Wu replied. ”Probably because she is pregnant with your flesh and blood, so she is being treated as unclean.”

Wang 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 Competition is just a competition. So what if they lose? They just merely lost control of the next step. Is it because winning the competition 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 accumulated?”

Having listened to Wang Lu, Hai Yunfan said, ”Aren't these all your assumptions? Do you have any proof to support those assumptions?”

Wang Lu said, ”That's why I want to ask Xuan Mo about it. This matter involves the overall rhythm of the Grand Competition, 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?”

Wang Wu sighed. ”Okay, okay, fine. Tell me the time, and I will accompany you to this dangerous place.”
