Their eyes met, and sparks flew.
Jiang Fan finally realized what was going on and said speechlessly, "You're not talking about Wang Yao, are you?"
"Isn't that right? You two were hugging in public just now."
Hearing Lan Shengxue say that, Jiang Fan felt utterly speechless.
"What kind of look is that? She clearly grabbed me unexpectedly and hugged me forcefully, okay? I didn't even dare to put my hands down."
Lan Shengxue raised an eyebrow, "But you didn't push her away in time."
"Then I also need to be able to push her away!"
"With your strength, you think you can't push her away?"
"You're wronging me. Don't let her strength fool you; she's only at the High-Stage Third Rank. She's incredibly strong. And—"
Jiang Fan paused for a moment at this point.
"And what?" Lan Shengxue looked at Jiang Fan with suspicion, waiting for his next words.
Jiang Fan paused for two seconds before speaking, "She's not simple. I suspect she has a hidden, special identity."
"Special identity?"
"Um."
At this point in the conversation, neither of them spoke again.
Lan Mingxi, sitting in the audience, was getting so angry he was practically standing on end. His beard was practically standing on end.
How dare he take advantage of my granddaughter in public! I really want to give that brat a good beating!
At first, the Little Turtle would say some teasing things, but now it doesn't dare to utter a single word, afraid that Wang Yao's jealous outburst would affect it.
Some are happy, some are sad.
The fat man was so excited he almost clapped and shouted things like "Brother Fan is awesome!" and "Brother Fan is a tough guy!"
Excitement aside, a man's intuition told him...
If you really do that, you'll probably be badly injured, if not killed.
After an unknown amount of time, Lan Shengxue lowered her eyes, her tone revealing neither joy nor anger.
Why are you explaining so much to me?
"Huh?" Jiang Fan blinked. "Didn't you ask me, Miss Lan?"
"You can let go now." Lan Shengxue tried to pull her hand away from Jiang Fan's grasp, but failed.
Jiang Fan dared not let go immediately. He had finally managed to grab her, and if he let go, the other party would start hacking and slashing again, and he would have another headache.
"So, are you still going to fight me?"
Lan Shengxue's gaze shifted and landed on Jiang Fan's feet.
Why aren't you wearing the shoes I bought you?
Jiang Fan was even more confused; the topic had changed way too quickly!
Why did we suddenly start talking about shoes again?
"Those shoes are so expensive, I can't bear to wear them in the ring."
Are you kidding? Two hundred thousand a pair!
Although those shoes, specially designed for Martial Artist, were quite durable, he would be heartbroken if they broke during a match.
It's important to understand that Martial Artist have a lot of expenses; otherwise, so Martial Artist wouldn't choose to join a faction to obtain its resources.
He could have chosen to do that, but he didn't want to.
After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Your family's influence isn't something they nurtured for nothing; they'll definitely have to give back to you in the future.
To put it bluntly, if your family forces want you to do something against your will, you have no choice but to bite the bullet and do it.
He didn't want to be tied down, so he had to rely on himself.
"It's just a pair of shoes, there's no need to be reluctant to part with them."
When Jiang Fan heard Lan Shengxue's voice, his tone had clearly changed.
Unlike the coldness just now, it felt like I had returned to the past.
Looking at the girl's face again, it no longer had the sharpness it had before, but instead showed a hint of gentleness.
Seeing this, Jiang Fan breathed a long sigh of relief and slowly released his hand, but still remained vigilant to prevent Lan Shengxue from suddenly acting out.
After taking a few steps back, Lan Shengxue turned to look at the referee.
I surrender.
It's finally over.
Jiang Fan wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, and his slightly anxious heart finally settled back into his chest.
The next second, Lan Shengxue said, "By the way, Grandpa said he'd like to invite you to his home after the competition."
hiss--
Jiang Fan gasped, his heart, which had finally calmed down, tightening again.
My heart is pounding.
If he wasn't mistaken, it was most likely because when he was dodging Wang Yao, he accidentally used the Phantom Gale Leg, which aroused Lan Mingxi's suspicion.
It wasn't that he was careless and made a mistake; it was simply that Wang Yao's pressure was too overwhelming, so it was more of a conditioned reflex than an accident.
"Okay, I understand, I'll definitely go."
There's no escaping this; we have no choice but to face it head-on.
After Jiang Fan stepped off the stage, he saw Ye Qizhen walking towards him.
"I'll set off for the Outer Wilderness Zone in a couple of days to train, and try not to fall too far behind you."
"Isn't it unnecessary to push yourself so hard?"
"Are you afraid I'll catch up with you?" Ye Qizhen teased. "Seriously, training in the Outer Wilderness Zone is far superior to any other kind of training. Do you want to come with me?"
"I--"
Jiang Fan was about to speak when his phone rang, interrupting him.
He raised an eyebrow after seeing the caller ID.
"Hey, Instructor Wei, what's up?"
Wei Cangyue: "You're pretty good, kid. You've broken through to the Early-Stage Third Rank so quickly. I thought it would take until at least the end of this semester."
"You've come to watch the game?"
"I didn't go, but I know someone in the audience."
"Oh, I see."
" Jiang Fan, seriously, aren't you really considering joining us for training in the Outer Wilderness Zone? Let me tell you, I ran into Ye Qizhen in the Outer Wilderness Zone the other day. That kid's Psychic Power isn't even as good as yours, but he dared to go. You wouldn't be too scared, would you?"
"As long as you're willing to come, my previous promise still stands. If you're willing to join my Sharp Edge Squad, I'll definitely lead you to slaughter everything in sight, and even leave the dying monsters for you to finish off."
Wei Cangyue tried both provocation and sweet talk, but even so, he wasn't very confident in pulling Jiang Fan into the fire.
However, their Sharp Edge Squad's rating is too low, and if they continue like this, they will soon disband.
This was also the main reason why he was so eager to go to Fortress No. 31 to recruit talent.
So no matter what, he had to do everything he could to bring Jiang Fan into the team, even if the chances were slim.
"Not only that, you can also make conditions. As long as I can fulfill them, I—"
"Okay, I'll join. When are we going?" Jiang Fan asked.
Wei Cangyue???
What?
That's it? You just agreed?
Did he hear that right?
Are you serious? You're not kidding me?
Jiang Fan found it a bit funny. " Instructor Wei, you can't be frivolous about something like this, can you?"
"You don't regret it?" Wei Cangyue asked, while pinching his thigh hard.
groove!
It hurts like hell.
"If you don't tell me when we're going, I might regret it."
We'll set off early three days from now!
Wei Cangyue spoke at an unprecedented speed, spittle flying everywhere.
What should I prepare in advance?
"You don't need to prepare anything. Our team has plenty of supplies, enough pills, and more alloy weapons than we can use. All you need to do is come!"
