C8 Competitive Strength
The next day.
Bai Ziao was leisurely eating breakfast at Old Meng's house. He had no idea that what awaited him would be a very difficult battle.
This morning, Old Meng had been very enthusiastic, picking up food and serving it to Bai ZiAo, causing him to feel a bit embarrassed.
"Brother Meng, there's no need to act like this. I'll do it myself."
Old Meng only smiled and continued to serve Bai Ziao some food, saying, "Don't mention it, I am too polite. "Eat more. I'll take you out for a stroll later. There's going to be a big commotion today."
Bai ZiAo just smiled, and didn't say anything. He knew that Old Meng was talking about today's Groom Search Competition, but that had nothing to do with him. However, since Old Meng insisted on inviting him, it would not be good for him to refuse.
After the meal, Old Meng hurriedly took Bai Ziao out of the house. Along the way, he kept laughing and laughing, but Bai Ziao always felt that his smile was a bit 'wicked'.
At the school field's gate.
Soldier A yawned, and shook his partner who was standing on guard beside him, complaining, "You said we are really unlucky! "We came here before dawn to stand guard. We've already received at least a thousand people by now, but the flow of people is just wave after wave, not one bit less. We still need to stand here until noon. We'll probably be exhausted."
"That's right! Who told us brothers to have such bad luck, in the entire military camp, we were the only ones selected! " Soldier B was also filled with resentment, but he soon fell into his reverie, "I heard that the reason why there are so many people today is because the princess is too beautiful. If only I had the chance to marry such a princess."
"Pui!" What are you daydreaming for, a toad wants to eat swan meat! " Soldier A patted his dreaming companion and said unhappily, "I think we should just obediently stand guard. Maybe we can still get a little reward when we go back. Look, two more people had come. Judging from the temperament of the young man in white, it's quite good. However, with his physique, he probably won't be able to take the martial test today. As for the other one, he's a bit stronger, but not good-looking. "
Soldier B nodded his head repeatedly. In reality, he was still immersed in his reverie, so he did not care about what Soldier A said at all.
"Name!" Soldier A shouted to Old Meng and Bai ZiAo who had walked up to him.
Old Meng quickly said, "Bai ZiAo!"
This shout made Bai ZiAo very depressed, he was just a spectator, how could he ask for the name? Of course, this also woke Soldier B up.
Soldier B hurriedly looked at the list in his hand. "Bai …" Children... Ao, mm, there is such a person, go in. "
"What about you?" Soldier A asked Old Meng again.
"I'm just a spectator." Old Meng was smiling even more happily than before.
Bai Ziao finally reacted, the person being registered was him? He anxiously said, "Brother Meng, this …"
Old Meng signaled Bai ZiAo with his eyes, forcefully pulling him into the school field. Although Bai ZiAo was very unhappy in his heart, but he felt that the situation was not at a point where it was unmanageable.
After entering the school field, Old Meng pulled Bai ZiAo to a relatively quiet place. He smiled sinisterly and explained to Bai ZiAo: "Say, if it wasn't like this, how could we have come in?"
"Brother Meng!" You! Then why didn't you register yourself! " Bai ZiAo was anxious and angry.
Old Meng, on the other hand, had the expression of a dead pig unafraid of boiling water. He said, "I can't do that. I have a wife, so I can't betray my wife."
"Then you'll sacrifice me?" Bai ZiAo was still very unhappy.
Old Meng continued, "How can it be a sacrifice? "Don't you know how outstanding our princess is? She's beautiful and proficient in all sorts of spells. She's truly a rare and wonderful woman in the world …"
"She is her business, what does it have to do with me! I don't want to marry and have children yet, and I don't want to waste time here on someone I don't know! I'm leaving now! " Bai Ziao was so angry that he wanted to walk out of the school field.
Old Meng quickly stopped him and said, "Zi Ao, if you go out now, you will be courting death! This drill ground was only allowed to enter or leave! If you want to leave, you can only do so after the Martial Arts Competition is over. "
"Then what should I do? Go participate in the martial arts exam? Elder Brother Meng, tell me, how could you scam me like this!? " Bai ZiAo was a little angry.
Old Meng still acted as if nothing had happened and said, "How can you say that I'm cheating you? I am really doing this for your own good. Don't you think that this martial test is a great opportunity for you to cultivate? "Let's not talk about whether you're marrying the princess …"
"I'm not!" Bai Ziao directly interrupted Old Meng, "I've never even seen him before, and I'm not the type of person who covets power and status and wants to climb higher!"
To Bai Ziao, it was indeed like that. If he really wanted to marry the princess, then he wouldn't have left the entire Bai Clan behind. What is the White Clan? The greatest clan in the world! Its population spans all over the four continents, and no one is unaware of its existence.
Old Meng saw that Bai Ziao was about to go berserk, and quickly said, "I know you are not. What I mean is, the reason I asked you to participate in this competition is to let you train properly, that's all. If you don't want to do it, can't you just lose it later? "
Bai Ziteng could not calm down even after listening to Old Meng's words. He kept adjusting his breathing, trying to calm himself down as fast as possible.
Time passed second by second, Bai ZiAo began to feel that what Old Meng said was not completely unreasonable. Cultivate well, wait until you can't beat him, just give up, there shouldn't be any danger.
"Alright, Brother Meng. I'll listen to you this time. But, I hope there's nothing else wrong with that!" Otherwise, I won't forgive you! " Bai ZiAo threatened in a "vicious manner."
When Old Meng saw Bai ZiAo calm down, the worry that had been hanging in his heart was finally lifted. In fact, he was really worried that Bai Zi would go on a rampage and leave. If that happened, it would be a crime against the monarch. At that time, he wouldn't be able to stay in the capital anymore.
"Mhmm, that's right. However … "The martial test has a Life and Death Contract. From the moment you entered the school field …" Old Meng deliberately stammered out these words, he needed to make sure he could control Bai ZiAo's condition.
Sure enough, Bai ZiAo's calm mood that he had gone through great difficulty began to get angry again …
"Life and Death Contract!" To die or to live? Brother Meng, are you kidding me? You're not telling me about such a huge matter? My mana is so low, aren't you just sending me to my death? "
"Brother, don't be anxious, don't be anxious …" Old Meng comforted Bai Ziao as he said, "Did you forget that I was still here? Even if I can't, there are still 38 fruits in my hands! Since you dare to register for me, I can definitely protect your life! If you are willing to believe in your big brother, then just treat it as a training session! "
What could Bai Zi Ao do? Even if he went out, he would die. He realized that he had been tricked by Old Meng just like that. Well, believe him.
Bai ZiAo looked at Old Meng with resentment, then shook his head and said, "Let's go, we'll take a look ahead. Ai, Brother Meng, how can you be like this …"
Old Meng did not care what Bai Ziao thought. Since he had achieved his goal, he was already enjoying himself nonstop …
