Spirit City, a chance encounter on the top floor

Ning Rongrong gave a soft snort.

"Stop sleeping! Come with us to Spirit City to go shopping and buy clothes!"

Xiao Wu echoed this,

"Exactly! We've been sleeping in the carriage for twenty days already, and we still want to sleep?"

Zhu Zhuqing said softly,

"Rongrong, Xiao Wu, sleeping in the carriage is still resting, but it's definitely not as good as sleeping well in bed."

"You guys go buy clothes, I'll stay with Lin Xuan and let him rest."

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu both looked at Zhu Zhuqing.

"Zhuqing! Don't even think about running away!"

Seeing this, Lin Xuan said helplessly,

"Alright, alright, let's talk about it after we've finished showing you around Spirit City."

Jiangzhu watched as Xiao Wu and the other two vied for attention and sighed. The captain's charm was indeed great.

Even she actually liked it a little.

Lin Xuan looked out the car window at Spirit City. The city walls were towering, made entirely of hard bluestone, and the walls were covered with the flags of the Spirit Hall.

Outside the city gate, two squads of the Spirit Hall guards in silver armor were greeting the crowd. In addition to the guards, a cardinal in red robes was also there to greet them.

After all, the Soul Master Tournament is a grand event for the entire continent, and also a great opportunity for the Spirit Hall to showcase its strength.

The Heaven Dou Empire's convoy slowly entered the city and stopped in the outer city area.

Then, Lin Xuan and the others got off the carriage, while Dugu Bo and the others also got off the carriage.

Dugu Bo frowned, looking at Lin Xuan with a displeased expression.

"Lin Xuan, you're quite the ladies' man!"

With Dugu Bo's Spiritual Power, he naturally discovered the situation inside the carriage ahead.

Lin Xuan gave an awkward smile.

"It's just so-so."

Dugu Bo gave a soft snort.

"You better pay more attention to Yanyan, or I won't stand for it!"

Lin Xuan sighed helplessly. It was impossible for him to say that he had no thoughts about Dugu Yan at all.

But Lin Xuan hasn't even settled things with Xiao Wu and the others around him yet, so it's not a good idea to overthink it.

Just then, a purple-robed deacon from the Spirit Hall walked up to Lin Xuan and the others.

"Teachers and team members of the Blue Tyrant Academy, please follow me."

Flender nodded, and then the group followed the purple-robed deacon from the Spirit Hall toward the hotel where the participating team members were staying.

Before long, the purple-robed steward led everyone to a hotel.

Because Blue Tyrant Academy ranked first in the Heaven Dou Empire's Promotion Tournament, they were directly assigned to the luxurious rooms on the top floor.

Besides Blue Tyrant Academy, the top-tier team consists of the Heaven Dou Empire's seed team, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Imperial Fighting Team.

However, because the Blue Tyrant Academy's carriage was behind the Crown Prince's carriage, the Blue Tyrant Academy arrived faster than the Imperial Fighting Team and the others.

After the deacon led everyone to the top floor, he handed a booklet to the team leader, Ye Mengyao.

"This is the competition handbook and the rules for byes. Please be on time in three days at the square in front of the Pope Palace to draw lots for the matches!"

After giving his instructions, the steward bowed and left the hotel.

Ye Mengyao opened the booklet, glanced at it, and then spoke. She discovered that the three seeded teams had a bye in the first round, while Blue Tyrant Academy had a bye in the second round.

At this moment, Flender looked at everyone and spoke.

"Alright, everyone's had a long journey, let's go pick out our rooms first. Then we can rest. We'll talk about the competition the day after tomorrow!"

Liu Erlong also chimed in,

"Yes, that's how it should be!"

Dugu Bo didn't speak. He chose a private room and went inside.

Flender chose the room next to Dugu Bo's, as did Liu Erlong and Ye Mengyao.

Seeing Xiao Wu pulled Lin Xuan along and led him into a luxurious suite.

"Lin Xuan, shall we stay here? This suite has rooms, and it's perfect for the four of us and Jiangzhu."

Seeing this, Tang San wisely went to another suite. Tai Long and the other two followed Tang San, and the four of them stayed together in the second suite.

There were thirteen people, and they occupied exactly three suites on the top floor.

The other three suites are on the other side of the stairs.

Inside the second suite, Lin Xuan looked around the room: four beds, a bathroom, a living room, and a kitchen.

Xiao Wu chose a room, followed by Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Jiangzhu Zhu.

Lin Xuan was naturally pulled into Xiao Wu Wu's room. Xiao Wu turned around and said...

I got you!

Lin Xuan looked at Xiao Wu, and gently pulled Xiao Wu into his arms.

"No need to fight over it, I'm here."

Xiao Wu leaned against Lin Xuan, her eyebrows curving upwards, her face full of joy.

The two embraced quietly.

Just then, Ning Rongrong knocked on Xiao Wu's door.

"Xiao Wu! Don't even think about stealing my man! Come out here now!"

Zhu Zhuqing was taken aback when she saw Ning Rongrong standing next to her. She hadn't expected Ning Rongrong to be so direct.

After hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Xiao Wu pouted and crawled out of Lin Xuan.

"Let's go, Rongrong will definitely throw a tantrum if we don't go out soon! She's so eager to be number one!"

Seeing this, Lin Xuan took Xiao Wu's hand.

Let's go.

Afterwards, Xiao Wu opened the door, and the two walked into the living room together.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing noticed that Jiangzhu had not appeared, so she asked,

"Jiangzhu, aren't you going?"

Jiangzhu spoke in a deep, muffled voice.

"Zhuqing, I'm going to rest."

Jiangzhu hadn't had much rest lately, so now that she had finally arrived in Spirit City, she naturally needed to get some rest.

Ning Rongrong looked at Xiao Wu holding Lin Xuan's arm, and then reached out and held Lin Xuan's other arm as well. She then urged him...

"If Jiangzhu isn't going, then the four of us will go. Hurry back!"

Lin Xuan had no objection to this.

The four of them then walked out of the suite together. Just as they reached the stairs, they spotted a group of people walking towards them.

These people are members of the Imperial Fighting Team.

Ning Rongrong glanced at Ye Lingling at the back of the group, then immediately ran over.

"Lingling!"

When Ye Lingling saw Ning Rongrong in front of her, her gaze shifted and she saw Lin Xuan, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing on the steps.

Upon seeing this, Yu Tianheng and the others did not greet Lin Xuan and went directly to the room.

As for why he now favors Lin Xuan, it's naturally because his pursuit of Dugu Yan has been thwarted, and the biggest obstacle is Lin Xuan.

But Yu Tianheng was also helpless. Lin Xuan was so strong that he couldn't beat him, and Lin Xuan was someone Dugu Bo recognized.

Forget it, I can't beat them.

On the other side, Ning Rongrong addressed Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan,

"Lingling, Yan, how about we go for a stroll in Spirit City? Xiao Wu, Zhuqing, Lin Xuan, and I are going shopping!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling glanced at Ning Rongrong and then at Dugu Yan.

"Yan, shall we go?"

Dugu Yan glanced at Lin Xuan, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"Let's go, it's been a long time since we went shopping together."

Just then, Ye Mengyao and Dugu Bo suddenly appeared on the steps to the top floor. They looked at Lin Xuan and the others with inexplicable smiles on their faces.
