On the National Team's side, Ai Jiangtu and his team said that they couldn't get involved in this kind of situation at all!
Tang Miao, this master of verbal sparring, single-handedly "thumped" them all. Even if they stood in his way, they probably wouldn't have been able to withstand it.
Upon entering the West Guardian Pavilion, the foundation of the entire castle began to rise, and the recessed areas between the walls and the foundation became rivers and lakes, irregularly distributed around the West Guardian Pavilion. Except for the side facing the cliff, which lacked these rivers and lakes, the other three sides had them.
The water in the river and lake is quite clear; you can see some fallen leaves floating on the surface, the stones underwater, and even the shadows of the leaves reflected on the stones.
The water must be very deep, but it appears shallow like a stream because it is so clear.
There is a wooden walkway on the water, winding and turning across the surface. There are many small pavilions, and it takes a while to walk directly to the Lower Pavilion of the West Guardian Pavilion!
The guardhouse is divided into three tiers: upper, middle, and lower. The Lower Pavilion section has numerous halls and rooms, winding through each other like a maze. The four directions—east, west, south, and north—are all symmetrical and similar fortified houses, making it difficult to distinguish one place from another without a guide.
Following the steps between the castle buildings, you can enter the central pavilion.
The middle pavilion has everything: a museum, library, Training Ground, Meditation Room, teaching halls, main hall, palace, tool shop, foundry, apothecary... all of them are high-class! The upper pavilion, on the other hand, contains military conference halls, watchtowers, guard corridors, magic array towers, and the like. Apart from some heavyweight figures from Osaka and the guardian mages, no one else is allowed to enter the upper pavilion.
The most impressive place is still the central pavilion, which has all kinds of luxurious facilities. It is the perfect place for mages to cultivate, and it basically has everything one could want.
Because of their displeasure with Tang Miao, the blond man and Wangyue Qianxun only gave them a brief tour, and soon everyone walked towards the direction closest to the cliff.
The aerial passageway suspended between the two mountains actually led directly through a large observation tower in the upper part of the pavilion.
If the Upper Pavilion is off-limits to visitors, this means that the East Guardian Pavilion, located opposite this mountain, is also off-limits.
Most importantly, the two sister pavilions are not connected by a corridor, but by drawbridges on either side!
In other words, a suspension bridge must be built on the West Guardian Pavilion and East Guardian Pavilion sides of the pavilion for the entire corridor spanning the mountain stream and cliff to be fully passable.
Jiang Yu asked, "Is that watchtower across the street not open to the public?"
That's forbidden territory.
Tang Miao scoffed, "It's such a waste of resources to turn a perfectly good castle into a place where no one can set foot.
The blond man ignored him, while Wangyue Qianxun said coldly, "Going near there is a dead end, but I do hope you'll try."
Upon hearing this, Tang Miao retorted, "You wicked woman, don't you know that you should be welcoming my little friends right now?"
"You!!"
Wangyue Qianxun felt like she was about to explode; an unnamed fire was erupting within her body!
The blond man, clearly impatient, said coldly, "I've given you enough of a tour. I'll call you for the banquet. The rest of the time is up to you!"
After saying that, he left.
After the blond man left, Wangyue Qianxun lost all patience.
Originally, she was going to glare at Tang Miao to give him a warning! But when she saw his strange look as he stared at her... she remembered the "celebrity" from before!
Wangyue Qianxun suddenly said, "You bastard, where are you looking with your dog eyes!"
Tang Miao, who had just been so defiant, had completely changed his attitude. Seeing her embarrassed and angry but unable to retaliate, he provocatively said, "Let me see if you're suitable for shooting blockbusters. I must say, apart from your disgusting personality, your figure and face are not bad. How about I give you a free ride?"
Wangyue Qianxun clenched her fists and said, "You should be glad you're a National Team, otherwise I would definitely make you regret the foul language you uttered!"
Tang Miao's attitude remained unchanged. "You should also be grateful that this world has laws. Otherwise, you might be somewhere being disciplined right now."
Wangyue Qianxun turned and left, not continuing her verbal sparring with Tang Miao.
Clearly, she was no match for him...
Moreover, those thieving eyes seemed to see right through her, which was utterly hateful.
The banquet Lower Pavilion, which boasted a grand banquet hall comparable to a castle. Many important figures from the West Guardian Pavilion attended to welcome the members of the Huaxia National Government.
Of course, the group of equally proud and ambitious young academic elites who served as the guardians of the library were also present.
This group of people were also top mages selected from various universities, and had undergone months of special training, all to block the path of the national team contestants from various countries.
Each national team's contestants must gain recognition from their National Pavilion they can enter the Venice Honor Finals. Therefore, Osaka's West Guardian Pavilion can be considered the first place where the Chinese National Prefecture Team gains recognition. The fact that the mentors have given up on them does not mean that they can be careless in the battle against the National Pavilion!
Each country's National Pavilion defense team is not much weaker than the National Team's, and some defense teams are even stronger than the National Team if their teamwork and team composition are more perfect!
Of hundreds of countries, only a select few can ultimately enter the Venice Water City. The challenge of the National Pavilion is the only path to the final battle. If the National Pavilion isn't strong enough, wouldn't all National Team be able to pass?
However, in Tang Miao's view, they were all guardians of the museum, so naturally they couldn't be much better. They were all just younger brothers. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been left behind!
At the dinner party, the girls arrived. Since they were the last to arrive, they were carrying large and small bags of things they had bought in Osaka.
Especially that little vixen Jiang Shaoxu, her table is piled high with the luxury goods she's bought: clothes, shoes, bags, jewelry...
Of course, this little vixen didn't forget to bring some back for Tang Miao after going out to eat. She's really thoughtful when it comes to caring for people.
In particular, she was still clinging to Tang Miao, describing how to eat it and what it tasted like...
Tang Miao neither refused nor gave much of a response.
Seeing Tang Zha neither taking the initiative nor refusing, the other male comrades all felt a wave of disdain.
At first, Tang Miao would consider Mu Ningxue's feelings, but as time went on, he simply ignored them.
After all, this woman remained an unyielding ice sculpture from beginning to end. It seemed that nothing mattered to her except cultivating and becoming a formal team member, not even when Tang Miao and Jiang Shaoxu were being affectionate...
