Chapter 283: The Chance to Get Beaten (3k)
The next day, as the first rays of dawn appeared, the Yulin Road was already crowded with students. Although the auction day had not yet arrived, there were an unusually large number of people gathered here.
Su Jiu specifically went to the counter to get two hooded sweatshirts. While waiting for the hooded sweatshirts at the counter, they encountered that young girl, Jiu Ling’er again.
“Two young ladies… Sir, regarding yesterday, I only offended you by accident.”
However, the other party’s face was somewhat swollen, as if she had been severely slapped. When she saw Su Jiu and the other person, her expression was like a mouse seeing a cat, as respectful as could be. Her hands were placed flat, as if she couldn’t leave without Su Jiu’s forgiveness.
“You can go. Tell your father that I have received his sincerity and he doesn’t need to come again.”
Seeing the other party’s cautious attitude, Su Jiu found it a bit amusing. After retrieving the items, she waved her hand and said with a faint smile.
When Su Jiu and the other person left the auction house entrance and arrived at No. 94 Yulin Road, the nearly overwhelming crowds and the soaring noise caused them to be slightly stunned.
Coming back to their senses, Bai Zhi kept looking around and then glanced at Su Jiu, asking curiouly, “This isn’t your masterpiece, is it?”
“I don’t know… there should be some people who came to watch the excitement, right?”
Shaking her head, Su Jiu also pursed her lips and said softly.
Last night, she was only focused on answering phones, receiving nearly ten to twenty calls. However, she was also confused about how these people got her phone number, as she had only given it to a few people.
Su Jiu glanced at the time and found that there were still about twenty minutes before the agreed time.
Wearing masks and not revealing their identities, Su Jiu pulled Bai Zhi’s hand and sat in their pre-booked seats. Like a transparent person, she wanted to hear what these people thought about being called by her, this “scummy girl.”
As Su Jiu’s gaze swept across, she happened to see a group of people sitting directly in a nearby tavern. Her gaze swept over this group. Most of them had Caucasian faces and wore golden silk robes with an emblem of a giant grasping lightning in the center…
“What a dominant emblem. It shouldn’t be from our country. Which university are these people from?”
After a moment of contemplation, Su Jiu’s gaze finally stopped at a very beautiful white-haired girl in the center. From her appearance, her age seemed to be only around eighteen or nineteen.
However, judging from the occasional blue light seeping out from her, her strength was probably not simple. Su Jiu’s powerful mental power could sense that it was power exceeding the War General Level.
“I didn’t expect someone to reach this level at such a young age. The major universities are indeed full of hidden talents. Their target is probably that Crimson Flame Dragon Egg.” Su Jiu murmured inwardly, looking at the white-haired girl with slight surprise.
“This school seems to be a top institution from Snow Bear – Constantine University. The girl in the middle should be their school’s top freshman – Heather, right? I can’t even sense her aura.”
“It’s strange that you can feel her aura. It’s said that she has received special family training and cultivation with various medicinal herbs since childhood. As the legitimate daughter of the family, her bloodline is extremely high… It is said that she has already reached the level of Peerless Battle General.”
“Peerless Battle General? Isn’t that the same level as Hu Yang, the new chief of Magic City? I wonder who will win in the world competition two weeks later.”
Hearing the whispered conversations from the crowd, Su Jiu finally understood something. She didn’t care about her chief position being replaced, as everyone had been “lying” for more than a month, so it was normal to be replaced.
Immediately, she frowned slightly and whispered again, “This girl is not just at the level of Peerless Battle General. With that guy Hu Yang, he might not be able to withstand three of her moves.”
She also kept this girl and her school in mind. If the rewards for the world competition were appealing, she would participate. As for honor, it was purely nonsense.
As if sensing a slightly different gaze, the white-haired girl, who was about to take her seat, suddenly paused, tilted her head slightly, and her cold, emotionless eyes glanced at Su Jiu and the other person, who were hidden by hoods and masks. She immediately frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then her brow showed a trace of confusion.
She could feel being watched by a strong person. The other person’s mental power seemed to be no weaker than hers, and she was likely also at the Intermediate Battle King level.
“She doesn’t feel like a student… This feeling is somewhat like a butcher.” Being stared at by the white-haired girl for a few moments gave Su Jiu a strange sense of destiny, as if she and the other person had some natural incompatibility.
Not long after the Constantine school entered the tavern, more students entered. From the whispered conversations around them, Su Jiu realized that many of them were from foreign schools, which gave her some impression. No wonder the Chinese spoken on the phone last night was a bit broken.
In the following time, Su Jiu actually saw some familiar faces again. Her gaze swept over the belated Magic City University team, and then she looked at the red-clothed woman leading them. Su Jiu’s face showed a strange expression.
Hu Ling, this woman, is personally leading the team? Should she give the other party a 150% discount?
“Bastard! Do you want this young lady to stand?”
“I’m sorry, Ms. Huizi, I’ll arrange seats immediately.”
But her gaze was soon attracted by the black-clothed team on the other side. Their broken Chinese gave her a sense of familiarity. Looking carefully, Su Jiu’s expression stiffened slightly, and soon a trace of blood appeared in her eyes, with a cold smile on her lips – Suzuki Yoshiko.
Here’s another acquaintance. Six months ago, she bullied me, an Advanced Stage Warrior, with her Peerless Battle General strength. It must have felt quite good, right? Now, if you are still only at the Peerless Battle General level, you probably won’t even be able to withstand one of my swords.
Calming down slightly, Su Jiu pondered. Since Xiangzi is here, it means the K Organization should also be here… However, in broad daylight, it’s not convenient for her to make a move.
“We were called here, where is that con artist?”
“Damn it, he really is a con artist! I thought he was a pure-hearted girl and felt a bit bad for him. Damn it!”
“The floor price he told you was three hundred and fifty, but he directly told me five hundred. Are you playing an outdoor auction here!”
After a while, it was exactly nine o’clock. Amidst the chatter, these students seemed to understand the intentions of Su Jiu, this mysterious merchant, which was to make them look around and scold each other, with their fists clenched.
“You two, quickly give up your seats!”
Seeing this scene, Su Jiu felt that the time had come and was about to slowly get up when a shout came from her side, with a slight accent.
Obviously, the tavern was full. Seeing that Su Jiu had only two people and was small in stature, Xiangzi’s servant had the idea of forcing them to give up their seats.
All eyes were drawn to this voice. They saw that it was Xiangzi’s servant from before. Some people were watching for fun, while others raised their eyebrows in displeasure. How dare a mere Japanese dare to act so presumptuously in the territory of the Dragon Country?
Before Su Jiu could speak, someone wanted to step forward to scold the servant. Facing this verbal criticism, the servant, who was only an Initial Stage Battle General, dared not say anything more. He then looked to Xiangzi not far away for help.
Xiangzi saw this scene, frowned slightly, stepped forward, and a fierce aura surged out, impacting the surroundings. The imposing aura of a Peerless Battle General immediately repelled those who wanted to be righteous knights. Then, she came to Su Jiu and the other person, casually threw two hundred-yuan bills, and said faintly, “This seat is mine now. Go wherever it’s cool.”
Still with her head down, Su Jiu’s shoulders trembled slightly. Her voice was suppressed very low, and she held Bai Zhi’s hand tightly, as if confirming the other person’s thoughts again: “Sorry, this seat is reserved by us, and we don’t want to give it up…”
“But it’s mine now. I’ll give you ten seconds. If you don’t leave, hehe…” Xiangzi said with a faint smile.
After saying that, she stepped forward, waved her hand, and a powerful hot airflow, accompanied by a pressing aura, completely enveloped Su Jiu and the other person.
Seeing Su Jiu seemingly trembling and afraid from being bullied, the surrounding students and passersby wanted to help speak for them, but they were simply not strong enough to contend with a Peerless Battle General. They could only look towards the people from the powerful universities.
Constantine University, the white-haired girl’s gaze fell on Su Jiu and the other person, her brow furrowed slightly. Was that unease she felt earlier coming from these two?
Beside her, the tall young man glanced at the white-haired girl and whispered, “What? Are you going to make a move?”
Taking a sip of tea, the white-haired girl slowly withdrew her gaze and said with a faint smile, “Why bother with matters of other countries?”
On the Magic City University side, Lin Yun, looking at Su Jiu, who was surrounded by three servants, slowly withdrew his gaze and glanced at Lu Bingyu, who was quietly wiping her blade beside him, and whispered, “Are you going up?”
“We can’t let people from other countries bully a weak woman in the heartland of our Dragon Country.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Bingyu smiled but didn’t say much. Just as she was about to step forward, she was stopped by Hu Ling behind her. She then raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the latter, whispering, “Senior Sister Mo Bu, are you trying to stop me?”
“Take me with you.”
Meeting Lu Bingyu’s somewhat handsome face, Hu Ling shook her head slightly, but she was already holding a crimson long whip in her hand. She was not a good person, but when it came to uniting against external enemies, she was a qualified former student council president.
“Bang!”
Just as they were about to step forward to stop this, a loud noise sounded, shocking everyone. Hu Ling’s pupils widened slightly, and they didn’t even pay attention to the flying wood chips…
