Xia Xiao was sure that he could not obtain the Ying Hulu just by winning the martial arts competition! But he followed behind Manager Bin with a firm face and stepped into a passage that ordinary people could not enter without fear.

The exterior of Kinmen Wudou City looks like a bird's nest, but the interior is like an anthill. Those who come to place bets are like anteaters with their tongues extended, hoping to have a good meal, but their tongues can only reach into the holes dug by the ants, which are wide and deep, and empty.

Useless ants huddle together, but the lofty ant king is different. It is always in the most spacious place, just like the end of this narrow and long passage, which must be extremely bright.

The steps under his feet made Xia Xiao's feet hurt, but he still walked very fast without missing a step.

Manager Bin glanced at Xia Xiao behind him in the candlelight and happened to meet his eyes.

"You're in such a hurry to leave, are you reincarnating?"

Xia Xiao glanced at him with a cold gaze. The old man must have done it on purpose. He wanted to use up all his strength now so that he would not have the confidence when negotiating the terms. But he underestimated himself. He had more strength than that!

"You should be happy that a great man wants to see you."

"It won't be too late to be happy once I leave alive!"

He took off his helmet and threw it away, the sound of the collision lingering in the long corridor for a long time.

He is really smart. Manager Bin frowned and felt a little wary of Xia Xiao. At such a young age, he is quite thoughtful. I wonder if he has his own trump card to help him make progress or retreat?

At the end of the corridor, Manager Bin opened a door and made a gesture of invitation.

"please!"

Xia Xiao was unarmed, but for Ying Hu, he still stepped in. The room was spacious, but a little dark, which was perfect for these vampires!

There was no telling what was hidden in the darkness. Xia Xiao took a quick look and thought it might be a passage, or it might be a guard. If they disagreed with him, they might rush up and put a sword to his neck.

"please!"

Under the guidance of Manager Bin, Xia Xiao walked towards the sofa. Looking at the one-way mirror, Xia Xiao said:

“It’s a great viewing spot.”

"Only in this way can I see your elegance."

The middle-aged man on the sofa stood up and bowed slightly to Xia Xiao, and the latter did the same.

"City Lord Lin."

"Master Xia."

Lin Jing poured a glass of wine and pushed it in front of Xia Xiao.

"Celebrate Young Master Xia's welcome."

"Thank you very much."

Xia Xiao raised the wine glass and touched it with his lips, but did not drink it. God knows what was in it.

Seeing this, Lin Jing cursed in his heart. You are really just a little brat. If I didn't want to negotiate with you, I would poison you to death right now! Obviously, Lin Jing didn't see the point.

"Please take a seat!"

Lin Jing behaved like a gentleman, but he, who knew Manager Bin best, knew that this was his usual tactic. He would chat with you first, and then suddenly put forward conditions, as if you didn't agree to them, which meant you didn't appreciate them. If you didn't appreciate them, you had to pay attention to the consequences! To put it bluntly, he was a typical smiling tiger.

"Master Xia should have told me when he came to Rongcheng so I could send someone to pick him up."

"I dare not trouble the Lord City Lord."

"Hey, that's your fault. You're too polite. My son Lin Tian will be participating in the competition with you. You should take care of each other in the future."

Xia Xiao was silent. He said so many roundabout things, wasn't he just trying to get himself into the alliance?

"I know that Master Xia is a straightforward person, so I will speak directly. You have a bright future, but this journey is too difficult. You need a backer, not for anything else, but for resources and convenience. And I don't ask for much, just give me some reward when you leave here in the future!"

"Repay? How do you repay?"

"I know some things about Master Xia. To put it bluntly, you must be a very successful person. In half a year, you have gone from being unable to practice to winning the Grand Battle. Others cannot do this, but you did it. You will definitely be able to do better in the future, but it may be difficult for you to do it alone..."

Lin Jing was about to show off his rich resources when he was interrupted by Xia Xiao.

"My Lord City Lord, I am doing this for no other reason than to replenish the gourd."

"Are you sure you only need a Ying Hu?"

"Sure!"

Even in Rongcheng, Xia Xiao's cold and arrogant aura remained unchanged, which made people shudder. He had never thought of joining Rongcheng because the incidents there would disturb his practice. Joining was just a matter of words, but quitting was extremely difficult. In order to avoid unnecessary things from happening, he fortunately refused at the beginning!

Although refusing now would bring disaster, Xia Xiao had a trump card to protect himself. If he didn't even have this confidence, why did he come to Rongcheng? What kind of competition did he participate in?

Lin Jing looked at Xia Xiao with dissatisfaction. The few brief seconds were extremely testing. Xia Xiao glanced around. He was already Lin Jing's enemy because he did not accept the alliance. What would he do?

If it were someone else, Lin Jing would probably kill him with a wave of his hand. If he didn't join, he would be an enemy, but Xia Xiao had a different identity, a disciple of the First Church? The emperor's disciple, this identity made him dare not act rashly. In the end, Lin Jing clapped his hands and walked out of the darkness alone.

It is Rongcheng as expected, it is different from Longgang. Xia Xiao never sensed that there was such a tall man standing by the wall.

The man held the treasure chest and handed it to Lin Jing, who did not give it to Xia Xiao immediately, but played with it repeatedly.

"If you take a Ying Hu now, you will have one less life to enjoy the elixir in the future. I'll give you one more chance, Master Xia Xiao, you are a wise man!"

Xia Xiao stood up, his voice colder than before.

"Don't worry, City Lord. No one can take my life away!"

Even the Zhu family and the black smoke on the road didn’t kill me, so what is Rongcheng?

"A newborn calf is really not afraid of a tiger!"

Taking the treasure chest, Xia Xiao snorted inwardly.

"My Lord City Lord, Rongcheng is not worthy of being called a tiger!"

Xia Xiao finished speaking, bowed, and walked out the door. Also, he is not a bull calf!

With his back to Xia Xiao, Lin Jing's face turned pale. After drinking the wine in the glass, he crushed it with one palm.

"Go find the heads of the Yu and Li families. I need to hold a meeting in the mansion!"

Lin Jing's voice was annoyed. When he stood up, the tall man behind him had disappeared into the room. Only Manager Bin was left here. He stroked his gray beard. It was really interesting. A little Xia Xiao not only refused the emperor's order, but now he was making such a wild statement. Did he really think he was still living in the past? Humph! Even if he had that status, what would it matter? It was easy for the three major families in Rongcheng to kill someone. In this area, they were gods!

There were fewer people coming in and out of the lobby on the first floor of the Martial Arts City. Xia Xiao put the number 99 into his trouser pocket and walked out, dragging his tired body.

He attracted a lot of attention, but no one recognized him. Who would have thought that the man who killed three generals of the Fighting City could be like a child?

Xia Xiao walked out of the door under the eyes of the guards and took a deep breath. Although the air was still hot, it was no longer bloody and felt much better.

Glancing at the box in his hand, Xia Xiao could feel the vitality in it. Now that he had the gourd in hand, it was time to go back!

Xia Xiao took a step forward, but was supported by a pair of delicate hands. Her again? Xia Xiao took a look and became impatient.

"Don't touch me!"

Huiyue was surprised. How many men wanted to touch her, and yet this little girl still despised her?

"How can you be so ungrateful? Do you know how long I have been waiting here?"

“It has nothing to do with me!”

Xia Xiao, who just had a grudge with Lin Jing, couldn't contact anyone, otherwise he would have an extra handle. He didn't want to have a knife stuck in his door one day, with a note on it saying that if he wanted to save someone, he had to come to such and such.

Although Xia Xiao was hard-hearted, he still had to go in that situation, so it was better to make fewer friends! Especially those whose fate was controlled by others.

Suddenly, Xia Xiao stumbled and leaned forward. He cursed inwardly, "Damn it! Those No. 1 and No. 2 focused on his legs. He had walked so many steps before, but he couldn't keep his balance anymore!"

Xia Xiao hugged the treasure chest, thinking he was going to fall to the ground in pain, but at the critical moment, a pair of slender and soft arms stretched out from the side and embraced him.

"I told you to show off your bravery, so you might as well fall to your death."

Huiyue finished speaking and helped Xia Xiao walk down. Xia Xiao walked as fast as he could, and after going down the stairs, he broke away from the woman's hand and walked onto the street.

"Hey, why are you so rude?"

Huiyue shouted, but Xia Xiao still didn't reply, he just kept walking.

Because contestants in the fighting city often behave like this, the people are not surprised, and of course no one dares to ask about it. Those who participate in the fighting competition must be ruthless people. It would be bad if they get hurt in a bloody killing spree. Therefore, people around Xia Xiao stay far away from him, but it doesn't matter. It's not the first time he has enjoyed such strange looks.

Looking at his back, Manager Bin, who was standing on the steps, sighed and shook his head.

"He was a real genius to be able to walk out of the fighting arena standing. What a pity."

"Huiyue, come with me!"

When Huiyue heard Manager Bin calling her, she was scared. Was it because of what happened just now? It was over. She shouldn't have helped that guy. Was Manager Bin punishing her? She was scared when she thought about her sisters being treated like that by Manager Bin.

Following Manager Bin into the room, the tall Huiyue hugged her arms, looking a little timid.

"My Lord, what is it?"

"Do you know that person just now?"

“No.”

Huiyue shook her head, her beautiful eyes shone with tenderness. Was it really because of him? Did Manager Bin also know that I wrote a note to him? I just didn't want such a young child to suffer!

"Then let me tell you, he is the winner of tonight, number ninety-nine Xia Xiao!"

"ah?"

Huiyue's task was to welcome the guests. She had been standing outside and didn't know what was going on inside. She was a little surprised. A child, how could he become the champion? And he was a newcomer. In this case, would the city lord do anything to him?

"I'll give you a task. If you can do it, I'll help you cure your mother and brother's illness, and I'll also help you with your family's affairs!"

Huiyue's eyes lit up, but she hesitated. She bit her lower lip and finally spoke:

"Sir, please speak!"

After listening to Manager Bin's words, Huiyue was stunned, but Manager Bin's face was gloomy, as if if she didn't agree, she would be in trouble. What could Huiyue, a weak woman, do? She could only nod.
