Chapter 137 I don't like you
What did he say?
Xiao Duan is Duan Haiping?
How is this possible?
Liu Jianan said he didn't believe it at all.
He didn't know where Xiao Duan knew the name Duan Haiping, or whether the summoned creature itself could know what the summoner was thinking.
It is also possible that Xu Zhaoxin and Yang Shu told Xiao Duan. He often saw the three of them looking around and talking about something.
The reason why he didn't believe Xiao Duan was Duan Haiping was also very simple.
Duan Haiping in the novel was cruel and bloodthirsty, killing people like flies, and would do anything to get to the top. He
didn't care about the lives of his subordinates at all.
He was stubborn and crazy, and he didn't allow others to disobey him.
But Xiao Duan was different. Although Xiao Duan looked arrogant and indifferent, when you get along with him, you will find that he is considerate and gentle.
He would try to protect others and accept the voices from others instead of being stubborn and insisting on his own way. Although
the two of them look exactly the same, they
are clearly different individuals.
"Xiao Duan, I'm sorry." Liu Jianan was a little embarrassed. He couldn't bear to hurt the other party.
But he couldn't accept Xiao Duan's confession for his own selfish desires when he clearly had someone else in his heart.
The hope in Duan Haiping's eyes gradually dimmed, and he lowered his head like an abandoned puppy.
"I, can I ask why?" His voice was hoarse, mixed with deep loss and frustration.
Liu Jianan wanted to touch his hair to comfort him.
His fingers froze in mid-air, but they didn't fall for a long time.
He didn't dare, he didn't dare to give Xiao Duan hope anymore, it was too cruel for Xiao Duan.
"I don't like you," Liu Jianan decided to cut the Gordian knot, "Xiao Duan, you are my summoned creature, we are companions, comrades-in-arms."
Duan Haiping interrupted him: "Why can't we be lovers?"
Liu Jianan: "..."
"I understand." Duan Haiping clenched his fists, "I am delusional."
"Xiao Duan..."
"Don't worry, I won't force you to like me, you are right, we are the best comrades-in-arms." Duan Haiping said this, but he didn't think so in his heart.
What he wants, he must get.
He didn't believe that Liu Jianan didn't have any feelings for him. Although he didn't understand why Liu Jianan rejected him, he firmly believed that the other party just didn't see his heart clearly.
Liu Jianan thought that Xiao Duan had really let it go, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's best if you think so. We will always be best comrades."
The time limit for summoning has come.
Duan Haiping slowly opened his eyes and looked at the snow-white ceiling, with a look of sadness in his eyes for a long time.
Tang Wenhan was surprised and said, "You're awake! Doctor, nurse! The patient is awake!"
Duan Haiping still had a headache, and he didn't know whether it was because he was tired these days or Liu Zhen comforted him: "I'm fine, don't make a fuss."
"Okay, I'm glad you're fine." Tang Wenhan was finally relieved, "Otherwise, you'd die before you could accomplish your mission, and the position of the commander of the superpower army would be handed over to someone else?"
Duan Haiping didn't care about the position of commander, he only cared: "Captain Tang, have you ever chased someone?"
Tang Wenhan was stunned by Duan Haiping's sudden question.
Thinking of the fact that Duan, a kid in his twenties, didn't seem to have a partner, he thought Duan Haiping was looking for a partner, and he laughed out loud.
"Xiao Duan, with your wealth and your current status, do you still need to chase girls?"
Tang Wenhan said earnestly: "You are very good, it is normal to have high standards, but not too high, otherwise when will you find a target." Duan Haiping sighed
.
His standards were too high, and he looked down on everyone except Liu Jianan.
It happened that the doctor came at this time. He simply examined Duan Haiping's body: "The patient was just overtired, and now he wakes up. Pay more attention to rest in the future, and never overdraw your physical strength like before."
Duan Haiping nodded. He had lost all hope before, so he didn't take care of his body.
But now it's different.
He has a clear goal and motivation.
…………
The next day, Liu Jianan took everyone to the Martial Arts Guild to see if anyone was interested in the notice he posted yesterday.
Unexpectedly, the entrance of the Martial Arts Guild was crowded early in the morning.
Hu Jianye put his arm around a passerby and asked, "Brother, I have a question for you. Why are there so many people in the Martial Arts Guild today?"
The passerby glanced at him and said, "
Are you new here?" Hu Jianye nodded, "Yeah, brother, how did you know?"
"Nonsense, if you weren't new here, how could you not know that something big happened in the Martial Arts Guild!" The passerby explained to them excitedly, "Yesterday, a great god left a notice on the bulletin board, and he actually wanted to use top-level martial arts to exchange for some low-level martial arts!"
Hu Jianye asked in confusion, "Isn't that possible?"
"It's not impossible, it's unheard of!" The passerby shook his head and laughed, "The owner of the top martial arts is at least king-level. Having a king-level master is a blessing that many people wish for!"
"The key is that his asking price is so cheap. Whoever can grab this order must have earned his luck by saving Nor Continent in his previous life!" said a passerby.
When Hu Jianye relayed these words, everyone understood.
Zhao Simo said with a smile: "It turns out that you are too capable and ask too low a price, which disrupts the market."
Liu Jianan did not expect this to happen.
He even specifically asked about the pricing of top-level martial arts yesterday, thinking that one thousand gold coins plus a few martial arts would be enough, but he did not expect it to cause a sensation.
"It's my fault. I didn't investigate the market well." Liu Jianan reflected deeply.
However, the martial arts still need to be exchanged.
Liu Jianan and others had a hard time squeezing into the Martial Arts Guild. Hu Deyi was arranged to take care of the little monkey outside because he was too fat.
Liu Jianan found the person in charge. When the person in charge saw him coming, he immediately greeted him warmly: "You are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a whole day!"
"It is my negligence this time. I am really sorry to trouble you with this matter." Liu Jianan took out two coins and gave them to the person in charge as a tip.
The person in charge quickly refused, saying, "You are embarrassing me. I didn't recognize you before. I'm grateful that you don't blame me."
The two exchanged some pleasantries, and the person in charge got straight to the point, saying, "The president of our guild wants to exchange top-level martial arts with you. What do you think?"
Liu Jianan declined, saying, "I only need some martial arts that ordinary people can quickly master, not such advanced martial arts."
The person in charge: "..." I've seen such a thing in my life.
Helplessly, he had to take Liu Jianan to the display stand.
"Everyone, be quiet," the person in charge signaled everyone present to be quiet, "Let me introduce you, this is Earl Liu Jianan who has entrusted our guild to sell top-level martial arts."
Most people present knew Liu Jianan's name.
If the glorious feats of slaying dragons were just rumors from the mouths of bards,
then yesterday's destruction of the Foundry Guild by his own strength became a headline in Bantu City that everyone knew overnight.
"Is he Liu Jianan? He looks so young!"
"He looks so good, but I didn't expect him to be so ruthless. It is said that Sid, the president of the Foundry Guild, couldn't survive a single move from him!"
"Then why are you hesitating? Hurry up and buy his top-level fighting skills!"
The enthusiasm of buyers is unprecedentedly high.
Faced with the offers from the audience, Liu Jianan only focused on martial arts schools and academies, which have a large reserve of fighting skills and have teaching experience.
This screened out a large number of buyers at once.
Finally, Liu Jianan chose to cooperate with a combat academy called Hongri Academy.
This combat academy can tailor combat skills for students, and it guarantees that they will learn until they learn it,
which is very conscientious. The one who made a deal with him was the dean of the academy, Duopu.
After sending everyone to the academy one by one, Liu Jianan and Duopu agreed that he would teach Duopu combat skills in the morning.
Because he had an appointment with Sanila, the president of the Magic Guild, to learn magic in the afternoon.
Sanila's teaching method was also simple and rough. She first condensed a ball of fire and let Liu Jianan observe how she operated her magic power.
Fortunately, with the help of the Book of Powers, he learned the third-level fire power in just one time.
The same was true for the second-level earth power and the third-level instant teleportation power.
Sanila was also shocked by Liu Jianan's learning speed, but she didn't know that he could only learn so much.
He couldn't make magic stronger by injecting more magic power like Sanila did.
Limited by the level of superpowers and the rules of the Book of Superpowers, his superpowers would be weaker than those of the same level, and the instant teleportation superpower could only teleport him.
But he was already very satisfied.
In the next few days, he went back and forth between Hongri Academy and the Magic Guild.
Although the strength of superpowers could not be improved, he could change into different patterns through his understanding of earth and fire superpowers.
For example, he could change the direction of the flow of superpowers to decide whether the earth element would eventually form an earth wall or collapse into a pit.
But that's all.
Compared to magic, superpowers have greater limitations. He can only release earth elements or turn the soil into sand through superpowers, but he can't control the earth elements to form various things according to his wishes.
Earth magic is more like a fusion of the two superpowers of earth and controlling earth elements.
He saw Sanila easily create a sand snake with earth magic and use it to attack. He
can also choose the location of the earth wall at will. Not only can it be generated from the ground, but it can also be formed directly in mid-air, which can more flexibly resist the enemy's attack.
After some trade-offs, Liu Jianan decided to replace the third-level fire superpower with the third-level earth element control superpower.
Although she gave up the fire element with strong attack power, she has the control of earth element, which allows her to attack or defend, and she can use earth element more flexibly.
When Sanila saw that Liu Jianan could use earth magic so skillfully, her jaw almost dropped to the ground: "Liu Jianan, you are the most talented student I have ever taught, you are worthy of being a talent in all fields."
Liu Jianan said embarrassedly: "Teacher, I decided to only learn earth magic."
Sanila kept smiling: "I am old, please don't joke with me."
