Seeing the president’s reaction, Tan Su’s earlier disbelief turned into resentnt.
"What’s so good about that woman? Is she more beautiful than ? Have you considered that you’ve been separated from her for years, and she might have moved on long ago."
Tan Su has always been proud, known as a beauty in the Ancient You Province, and her strength has reached the Reincarnation Five Paths, on the verge of breaking through to the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Inside and outside the Heroic Society, many n pursue her.
For the president, she has always rejected those n’s pursuits, refusing to believe that woman is more outstanding than her.
"She is very beautiful, the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. Whether or not she has moved on cannot shake my admiration for her because, sooner or later, she will be mine alone." At this point, a storm of anger arose in the president’s eyes.
In his mind, a face with a golden mask appeared.
Two years have passed, and to defeat that man and beco the only one standing beside her, he left ho, abandoning his parents and his sect, to co to the Ancient Nine Provinces Continent.
All for the sake of one day defeating that strongest man.
Soon, once he enters the Central Plains and obtains the sect inheritance, he can defeat that man.
"Wu Zhong, just wait and see, one day I’ll steal Ling Yue back from you."
A wicked light shone in the man’s eyes, but whenever he thought of those crescent-like eyes when they smiled, his lips curled into a smile.
In the past two years in the Ancient Nine Provinces, he has kept his feelings buried deep, entered Newbie City, and beca a Demon Hunter, almost wading through blood along the way.
Unlike the Qing Province Continent, where he was cared for by parents and sect elders since childhood.
To him, the Ancient Nine Provinces was a brand new beginning.
No one knew his identity, and even to avoid attracting undue attention, he concealed his usually proud appearance.
Starting from the lowest level, several tis he nearly died at the mouths of Fierce Beasts, and even when he joined the Heroic Society, he was plotted against and almost killed.
Yet, at the bleakest monts, he would always think of the one buried deep in his heart.
Just thinking of her gave him the strength to persevere.
Recalling his beloved, the previously calm face of the man lit up with vibrant joy because of the smile.
Seeing this, Tan Su was stunned again, and she finally believed everything the president said.
He truly has soone he loves, and it looks like that woman might already be married. Who knows what kind of spell she cast on the president to make him so devoted.
For the first ti, Tan Su felt such jealousy toward a woman.
Her heart felt like thousands of ants were gnawing at her, both painful and numb.
"President..." Tan Su wanted to say more.
"Tan Su, there’s no need for further words. My heart is small, only able to hold one person. I once swore to myself that I would marry none but her in this lifeti. You’ve helped a lot over the years, and I don’t want this to ruin our friendship. Let’s put it this way: if the Wu Wu Team wins this ti, I plan to have them join us as we head to the Central Plains. On the contrary, if the Mu Huo Team wins, I will resign from the presidency and let you take over, as I know this has been your wish all along."
The reason he chose Tan Su initially was because she was different from other won.
Tan Su was not only strong but ambitious. He had initially thought Tan Su wouldn’t be like the other won, making unreasonable trouble, but now it seems Tan Su is no different from the rest.
Once she succumbs to romantic feelings, she is no different from other won to him.
Tan Su clenched her teeth; she’s a clever woman and knows the president well. She understands she overstepped today and lost control of her emotions.
Now that the president knows her thoughts, he probably has the intention to leave.
She has always known in her heart that the president doesn’t actually see the Heroic Society as worthy.
It now seems that his joining the Heroic Society was only for that woman.
No matter who ultimately wins this ti, the president won’t accept her.
She must reconsider her plans; if she can’t capture the president’s heart, then winning the presidency of the Heroic Society is also good.
"Be that as it may, I will respectfully accept. Let it be settled."
The two of them imdiately struck hands in pledge, reestablishing the wager.
Outside the Waiting Area, Ye Lingyue and Si Xiaochun had just returned.
"Ling, you nearly scared to death earlier! Why do you want those scraps?"
Si Xiaochun and Ye Lingyue were preparing to leave after completing their match.
Unexpectedly, Ye Lingyue suddenly descended straight into the arena, almost being torn to pieces by those Spiritual Beasts.
Si Xiaochun was worried for a while, only to find out that Ye Lingyue had collected the remnants of a shattered Interdiate Elixir Puppet.
"I’ll put them to good use," Ye Lingyue said mysteriously.
She has quite an interest in Elixir Puppets; unfortunately, she hadn’t had the chance to engage with them before.
This ti she managed to get so Interdiate Elixir Puppet fragnts, and she planned to study them well. Maybe, with a bit of luck, she could repair the Interdiate Elixir Puppet for her own use.
As they spoke, they entered the Waiting Area, and having defeated Lady Dan, the way people looked at them had changed. Many altered their previous dismissive attitude and made way for them.
Except for Yuan Xing, who continued to sit indifferently in his small booth, unconcerned about the outside match results.
Not far from Yuan Xing’s booth, the Female and Male Killers were staring at him with malice.
From ti to ti, their gaze fell on the Spiritual Artifact beside Yuan Xing.
Yuan Xing’s Spiritual Artifact is a ruler-shaped weapon.
The weapon’s surface is intricately adorned with nurous spiritual patterns.
Seeing the ruler, malicious smiles curled on the faces of the Female and Male Killers.
"Did you hear? Yuan Xing’s opponent this round is the Female and Male Killers. I’ve heard that in all their matches, they leave no survivors. Hopefully, he’ll manage to stay safe. It’s not that I care about that cold martial artist boy; I’m just worried that if sothing happens to him, there’ll be no one left to treat the Old City Lord’s illness."
Si Xiaochun, although annoyed by Yuan Xing’s indifference, does care since Yuan Xing is soone he knows, and the opponent is acknowledged as the strongest duo, the Female and Male Killers; he couldn’t help but be concerned, despite being stubborn.
"Don’t worry, he’ll definitely be fine," Ye Lingyue reassured, casting a aningful glance at Yuan Xing and the Spiritual Artifact at his feet.
Ye Lingyue thought to herself, "Yuan Xing, what I can do for you is limited, so whether you can ultimately win now depends on your own luck."
