Chapter 173: None of them are good people



The small book was only the size of a palm. It left Wang Ling's palm and spun in the air at high speed. The air was creaking as the paper hit the air, and the pages were in disarray. In the blink of an eye, it was already beside the bookshelf, heading towards Xia Xiao, as if to hit him in the face.

Reaching out his hand, Xia Xiao caught it, as easily as bending a finger. A small book, is it really going to be used as a dart to stab itself to death?

His expression was still cold, but with a little curiosity, Xia Xiao opened the little yellow book and realized that it was a collection of quotations from saints. But these profound words were not realistic. If it were an ideal country, it would definitely have some meaning, but in today's world, these words of saints are only shells, and even if they are recited by people, it is difficult to achieve the content.

“Virtue is never alone; it always has neighbors.”

The first thing that caught Xia Xiao's eyes was this sentence, which meant that a moral person would never be lonely, because there would always be people willing to be his neighbors. In the Great Wilderness, virtue is not as good as strength in subduing opponents. Even the standards of civil officials are not just virtue, but also scheming. Governing people and the country with virtue is a bit dreamy nowadays. And it is too ironic for Wang Ling to read this book.

Yesterday, Shelieguo and Nanguo were beaten, and the Adventurer's Guild had their mouths ripped open. This cruelty made the contents of the book empty, and Wang Ling still showed it off, which was really shameless.

Xia Xiao looked up, threw the book aside, and three people stood behind him. They were Long Suihong, the young president of the Adventurer's Guild, Yin Zhiping, the prince of Shelie Kingdom, and Xie Yi, the prince of Nan Kingdom. The three of them, one fat, one short, and one tall and thin, formed a sharp contrast when standing together, highlighting the differences between different places.

Wang Ling had been in the Little West Building, so they couldn't do anything. But now that Xia Xiao was here, they had to make their position clear. This was also a way to vent their anger, and the one who really fought with Wang Ling was only Xia Xiao!

Si Qingling watched from the side, but she didn't expect the three people's cunning mind, but was quite proud of it. This time, none of her tricks worked, but Wang Ling still took the bait, and really made a lot of money!

Unconsciously, Si Qingling felt that Xia Xiao was even more mysterious. He seemed to be doing only what he was supposed to do, but in fact he was waiting. Everything would come to him on its own initiative, and he could solve them one by one!

Xia Xiao did not try to guess what the three people behind him were thinking. As long as he had a grudge against Wang Ling at this moment, it was fine.

"Why, you still want to fight?"

Wang Ling was not afraid either. The forty people behind him followed him forward, showing an unstoppable momentum. But Xia Xiao's expression was too calm, which made Wang Ling feel mocked. Xia Xiao looked at him like an adult looking at a child playing, with disdain.

After taking a look at the deepest part of the small west building, Xia Xiao raised his hand and pointed to the two cushions behind the rows of bookshelves.

"Don't compare words of saints. We are not good people. Let's see who resonates with this little west building first and finds the book they want. How about that?"

Wang Ling looked towards the deepest part. Although he had never been there, why wouldn't he go there now?

"good!"

The books in Xiaoxilou, if not held in someone's hand, would move every certain period of time. Therefore, it was difficult to find the book you wanted. The fastest way to find a book was to establish a connection with Xiaoxilou. But this kind of competition was a bit too exhausting, but it was what Xia Xiao wanted to do, so it didn't matter if he meditated on it.

Walking past a bookshelf, Wang Ling looked ahead and asked:

"I'm looking for the Hidden Light Scroll, what about you?"

“A book about people who come from far away.”

So general?

Long Suihong, who was following behind Xia Xiao, was slightly fat and had a pair of green bean eyes. Even though they were small, he was puzzled at this moment. Like many people, he felt that the scope of the book Xia Xiao was looking for was too large. The larger the scope, the more difficult it was to find. Because even if he established a connection with Xiaoxilou, he would only find the title of the book first. Xia Xiao did not have the exact title of the book, so he had to look at its content. In this way, Wang Ling's chances of winning would be higher!

Perhaps only Shu Shuang knew that Xia Xiao didn't want to bother with Wang Ling at all. The latter just wanted to find a book he had read and win. But Xia Xiao wanted to read those books! In terms of the original intention, Wang Ling had already betrayed him, but this was a competition. But winning or losing was not that important to Xia Xiao. He just wanted to force himself to hurry up and find the book quickly.

Instead of constantly flipping through books, it is better to establish connections. Although I have not been successful, now that there is competition, maybe I can establish them faster.

The two aisles between the bookshelves were full of people, and they walked to the deepest part of the small west building. When they stopped, they looked at the lifelike statues.

The stone sculpture is integrated into the wall, and it is an owl with its wings spread. This animal has nothing to do with the Little West Building, nor with books, but its big round eyes are really enviable to people with small eyes.

Instead of just staring, it felt like one's mind was being seen through. Many people looked away, but Xia Xiao and Wang Ling stepped forward from the crowd and looked into their eyes.

After climbing three steps, they stopped beside the futon.

The futon was too dusty, and no one had sat on it for a long time. Because this location was too conspicuous, it gave people a sense of foreboding. Moreover, the teacher said that as long as one was in the Little West Building, one could contact it, but if one wanted to sit on the futon, one had to be well prepared, otherwise the damage to one's mind would be difficult to make up for.

"For such risky behavior, there must be a gamble!"

Wang Ling stared at Xia Xiao and thought of another idea.

This is obviously a bait! But yesterday, when Wang Ling attacked the three people in his dormitory, he hesitated. But the atmosphere was heated to a certain extent, and there were so many people watching, let alone stopping, he was afraid that the action would not be too radical and the stakes were not high enough.

Sure enough, Xia Xiao did not refuse, but his reaction was not as intense as Wang Ling expected.

"I choose the method, you choose the bet!"

He is straightforward enough. Long Suihong likes Xia Xiao's personality.

Wang Ling said:

"If I find it first, you kneel down and apologize for the offense."

"What if I find it first?"

"Same!"

This is a bit of a big deal. After all, men have gold under their knees and they all represent a country.

Will Xia Xiao agree?

Everyone watched, expectant, and even a little nervous. Even if they disagreed, they couldn't possibly fight in the Little West Building!

"Sure! But don't kneel for me, kneel for them."

Xia Xiao raised his head to one side of the crowd, and all the students who shared the same dormitory with Wang Ling were moved, especially the man with a cut on his mouth. He originally thought that the young president would avenge him, but Long Suihong did not. He was secretly waiting for the opportunity to achieve higher benefits.

There are very few bonds between adventurers. They have no blood relationship, no common nationality, and can only be considered as people on the same road. Long Suihong would not care about an extremely ordinary adventurer. The latter also understood it, but he never expected that Xia Xiao would think about the three of them!

This request is a bit strange and doesn't even fit Xia Xiao's style of doing things.

Si Qingling asked Shu Shuang.

"Why did he suddenly become a good guy?"

"Xia Xiao doesn't like to involve others."

So that's it, Si Qingling nodded, and suddenly thought of Huiyue. Although the humiliating incident was not made public, it was also spread everywhere. It seems that there is a reason for Xia Xiao's strong personality charm.

Now we just have to wait for the result. If Xia Xiao wins, Wang Ling will lose both the literary and physical fights. If Xia Xiao loses, once he kneels, he will probably lose everything!

Speaking of kneeling, Wang Ling has never knelt before anyone except to the heaven, the earth, and his parents. But he knows his own advantages. Xia Xiao is looking for countless books, but he only has one. Even if his qualifications are not as good as Xia Xiao's, he should still win.

With the experience of the last time in the square, Wang Ling did not get carried away. He just looked at Xia Xiao with a strong fighting spirit in his eyes.

"good!"

Wang Ling agreed and sat cross-legged on a dusty cushion. He raised his hands, formed seals, activated his vital energy, and concentrated his mind.

The operation was extremely smooth, but the world they saw had gradually changed and became different from that of everyone else.
