"If you don't want any green, there's a way—just pull out all the weeds."
"Can they be pulled out?" Zhu Zhuqing asked instinctively.
"As long as you want to pull them out, of course you can. After all, I'm your master."
"From the day you became my disciple, I became your greatest support. No one in this world can make you do something you don't want to do."
"Master, those words were so domineering. Anyone who didn't know better might think you really were His Excellency the Arbiter."
Even though she felt her master's words were somewhat absurd, Zhu Zhuqing's mood improved considerably.
"Why don't you believe that I'm the Judgment Douluo?" Lin Mian felt that this was utterly unfair. These days, no one believed the truth.
"Yes, yes, yes. Master, you are the Judgment Douluo, the strongest and most formidable existence on Douluo Continent."
"Since you are the Judgment Douluo, then please accompany me into the hotel and take a look at what that person is really going to do."
"After all, only with His Excellency the Arbiter here can your disciple feel completely safe."
"Let's go."
Lin Mian naturally knew that his disciple was being sarcastic, but he did not care.
Being sarcastic was better than constantly being sad and wearing an icy expression.
A person needed some liveliness. What was the point of being like a block of ice?
Inside the hotel.
Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Xiao Wu were already locked in a heated confrontation.
"I'm not giving it up. Third Brother and I got here first, so why should we give it to a snob like you? If you want to take our room, you'll have to get past Sister Xiao Wu first."
Dai Mubai snorted coldly. "It won't be so easy even if you want to give it up. You insulted this young master, so don't think you can just leave. No matter what, I'll make you pay today."
Outside the door, Lin Mian spoke after hearing the conversation inside.
"Your fiancé seems to visit hotels quite often. They even kept a room specifically for him. But he's far too arrogant. As your master, I can't stand the sight of him."
Zhu Zhuqing had originally still held onto a sliver of hope.
What if this was Dai Mubai's first time?
Now that she had heard this conversation, she was completely disappointed in him. He was an utter scumbag.
"He isn't my fiancé. I don't want to watch anymore. Let's go."
"You may not want to watch, but I do. We'll leave later. Let's watch the show first."
The good part had only just begun. Why leave now?
Unable to argue with her master, the two looked back inside the hotel.
Xiao Wu had long been the boss lady in Nuoding City. How could she tolerate someone acting so arrogantly? She immediately prepared to charge forward.
Tang San grabbed Xiao Wu's hand. "Let me handle this."
"Why? I can do it myself. I'll beat him until even his mother won't recognize him."
Tang San frowned. "You're a girl. Watch your language."
"Have you forgotten what I told you before? I'll always protect you. This is a matter between men."
Xiao Wu's expression softened. She glanced at Tang San and said, "Then be careful."
Outside the door, Lin Mian spoke again.
"Disciple, what do you think of this man?"
Zhu Zhuqing did not think much of it and answered honestly.
"He's all right, I suppose. At least he knows to protect that girl. He's much better than Dai Mubai."
"Not bad judgment."
Lin Mian was worried about his disciple's taste in men, and his words were dripping with sarcasm.
The two continued peeking inside.
The conflict continued.
"Stop bickering. The two of you can come at me together. This young master can take it."
Tang San stepped forward two paces. "Please enlighten me."
At that moment, Lin Mian's voice sounded beside Zhu Zhuqing's ear. He had begun giving live commentary.
"Dai Mubai suddenly raised his right fist and lunged at Tang San.
His movements were simple, without any unnecessary flair, yet Tang San's expression changed."
"This man isn't weak!"
"Tang San thought to himself as his right hand turned milky white as well. This was his Mysterious Jade Skill. With a bang, his right hand collided with Dai Mubai's."
"Tang San staggered back four or five steps. Dai Mubai had clearly gained the upper hand in their first clash, and then the two of them released their Martial Souls."
"At such a young age, Dai Mubai was already a three-ring Soul Elder. His talent was truly terrifying."
"Tang San had also reached level twenty-nine. He was a genius as well!"
Lin Mian gave an impassioned commentary, even describing their inner thoughts.
Zhu Zhuqing only found it noisy.
Why was her master not composed at all?
"Master, can't you be a little more composed?" Zhu Zhuqing could no longer endure it and spoke directly.
"Disciple, don't you think your master's commentary is passionate?"
"It certainly is passionate, but I can see for myself."
"That isn't important. What matters is, who do you think will win?"
Although Zhu Zhuqing was unwilling to admit it, she had to admit that Dai Mubai's Soul Power was much stronger. The outcome was obvious.
"It should be Dai Mubai. His Soul Power is much stronger, and he also has one more Thousand-Year Soul Ring."
Zhu Zhuqing felt that her analysis was quite sound.
"As expected of my disciple. You have good judgment. Theoretically speaking, Dai Mubai indeed has better odds."
"What if we don't speak theoretically?" Zhu Zhuqing wanted to know whether her master had some other conclusion.
"If we don't speak theoretically, then if Tang San uses cheats, he'll definitely win!"
Zhu Zhuqing felt that she should never have asked.
Lin Mian continued his passionate commentary.
"Tang San used his first Spirit Ring skill, Blue Silver Entanglement. A huge mass of Blue Silver Grass is about to bind Dai Mubai."
"That Blue Silver Grass carries poison and could very likely cause Dai Mubai some trouble."
"Dai Mubai used his first Spirit Ring. His first Spirit Ring skill is called White Tiger Barrier, a defensive soul skill. It seems he's using it to resist the poison."
"Look! Dai Mubai's second Spirit Ring has lit up. His second soul skill is called White Tiger Intense Light Wave."
"Can Tang San withstand it?"
"Oh, heavens! Tang San blocked it, but he seems to be injured. What soul skills will both sides use next?"
"Tang San's second Spirit Ring has lit up as well. His second soul skill is called Blue Silver Parasitism, and its poison is stronger than that of his first soul skill.
The seeds of the Blue Silver Grass had long since parasitized Dai Mubai's body. How would Dai Mubai resist it?"
"Look! Dai Mubai has used his Thousand-Year soul skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation. This soul skill can enhance all aspects of his physical abilities. Tang San's poison is useless against him now."
"Will Tang San surrender? Let us wait and see."
Zhu Zhuqing did not know how her master knew the names of their soul skills.
She only knew that she seemed to have gotten used to listening to the commentary. When it suddenly stopped, she felt somewhat unaccustomed to it.
"Master, keep talking. Why did you stop?"
Lin Mian wore a solemn expression.
"There's no need. The FBI is here."
"What is the FBI..."
Before Zhu Zhuqing could finish asking, a burst of commotion suddenly came from behind them.
"Judgment Hall is conducting business! Move aside! Who is causing trouble in the city? Don't you know that soul masters have designated places for duels?"
Zhu Zhuqing turned around and saw four or five soul masters in Judgment Hall uniforms walking in behind them.
She understood why her master had stopped commentating.
So Judgment Hall had sent people. It seemed this battle would end just like that.
