Chapter 41 Li Ling's Arrogance



Lin Mo was actually quite familiar with the Jade Brand Tournament. After all, as the infamous Jade Brand Demon King of Luofu, he would participate in such grand annual events.

Of course, thanks to his unique use of the power of destiny and divination, he is the undisputed champion of the Imperial Jade Competition every year.

In fact, aside from his cheat codes and card-playing skills, Lin Mo's luck was also an indispensable part.

If Lin Mo's skill accounts for 20% of a victory, cheating accounts for 50%, and luck accounts for a full 30%.

Although he didn't know exactly what was going on, Lin Mo didn't delve into it, treating it as a compensation for his past life.

After all, his luck in his previous life... well, let's just say it was terrible.

Originally, Lin Mo thought that with his strong attributes, winning this year's championship should be no problem.

But when the fat man suddenly told him about the changes to this year's competition.

Lin Mo was quite surprised, and even Qing Que couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

The contestants for this Imperial Jade Competition will not be selected solely from Luofu. Instead, the competition has been jointly organized with the Imperial Jade experts from the other two immortal ships. The location is still Luofu, but the contestants are not only from Luofu. There are even people from Yuque and Yaoqing.

The two immortal ships also carried many powerful figures from the Imperial Jade Realm. Therefore, everyone was speculating about who would win the championship of this Imperial Jade Competition.

Will it be a powerful outsider who slays gods to prove his Dao? Or will it be the Demon King Lin Mo who shakes the world?

However, these things are still far from Lin Mo's time; there are still two weeks left. He needs to finish the work at hand first.

After the fat man left, Qingque was very excited to hear the news and was also looking forward to the competition in two weeks.

"This year's Imperial Jade Competition is going to be so exciting! I can't wait!"

Qingque couldn't help but ask, then she looked at Lin Mo and said, "Hey, Lin Mo, with so many big shots in this competition, are you still confident of winning?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo glanced at the time, then smiled and playfully pinched Qing Que's nose, saying, "Alright, now is not the time to worry about that. It's already 4:30 in the afternoon, and the summary meeting will start in half an hour. Let's go back to the Engineering and Construction Division."

"Oh, right, right, I almost forgot about that!"

Qingque originally wanted to pinch Lin Mo a couple of times, but then she remembered that the meeting would start in half an hour, and she wasn't in the mood to joke around with Lin Mo anymore.

Lin Mo wasn't particularly interested in this summary meeting and wasn't planning to attend, but Li Ling's brother, Li Yuan, had just messaged him saying that he had contributed a great deal to the meeting and that it wouldn't be able to proceed as planned without his presence.

Seeing that the other party had given him such great face, Lin Mo had no choice but to respectfully comply.

Lin Mo greeted Li Ling, who was standing behind him in a daze, and said, "Hey, Lingzi, aren't you in charge of my safety? Then come back to the Construction Bureau with us."

Li Ling was slightly taken aback, remembering that her serious older brother was handling affairs in the Bureau of Works and Equipment, and felt a little guilty.

Although he was already quite serious, he was still far inferior to his brother...

You have to understand, Li Yuan, that iceberg, is the kind of man who will remember even if someone is five minutes late!

Therefore, Li Ling had a bit of a psychological shadow over his older brother since childhood. Last time he went to the Bureau of Works to find Lin Mo, he deliberately avoided his brother...

But this time is different. Lin Mo is going to a debriefing meeting, and his brother is one of the people in charge of this mission. If he goes with Lin Mo, he will most likely run into him.

This made him somewhat uncomfortable.

However, it was just discomfort. When he thought of the meaningful look on the director's face when he gave him the task, he decided to adjust his mindset.

"Okay...but..."

Seeing the other person's hesitant expression, Lin Mo guessed what the other person wanted to ask.

He looked at Li Ling and smiled, saying, "Hehe, little Lingzi, don't worry. As for the parchment scroll, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Besides, even if the parchment scroll isn't in your intelligence bureau's hands right now, all the data on it has been collected by Yu Zhao, so it won't stop your intelligence bureau from handling it."

Upon hearing this, Li Ling couldn't help but sigh. His face turned grim as he said, "Lin Bu Zhe, I know about this matter. What I want to ask is, why can't you tell me your plan?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo smiled.

Of course, it's to whet your appetite and toughen you up!

However, Lin Mo certainly wouldn't say it out loud.

"Of course it's because I don't trust you."

Lin Mo said indifferently.

"Even if I told you, there's nothing you could do to help me."

He even struck a pose that looked like he was asking for a beating.

Upon hearing this, Li Ling was stunned for a moment, and then his expression turned even more unpleasant.

Distrusting oneself... Denying oneself...

For a passionate and extremely proud person, these two sentences are undoubtedly the most lethal...

The second sentence, in particular, directly denied his value, causing great damage to his self-esteem.

Lin Mo's nonchalant attitude was especially hurtful.

Of these two statements, the first is false, and the second is true.

Because Li Ling really couldn't be of much help.

The purpose of the first sentence is quite simple: to distance oneself from Li Ling so that the second sentence can be more hurtful.
