***********************************
An old man approached Shangguan Tianxin softly.
"Your Majesty, this official has sothing to report." He said softly.
Shangguan Tianxin was currently feeling rather disquiet; the battle between Zhou Weiqing and Shen Little Demon was constantly in his mind.
After the fight, Shangguan Longyin had also left. He had no mood to continue watching the other fights.
Hearing the old man's voice, Shangguan Tianxin turned around. It was his Finance Minister.
"Zhan Tang, what is it?"
The finance minister, Long ZhangTang, gave a bitter smile and said. "Your Majesty, the Fei Li Battle Team mbers actually all bet a lot on their fight this morning… that Zhou Weiqing alone bet five million gold coins. They are actually here to collect their winnings now, and it is no small sum. What is Your Majesty's decision?"
The odds were set by the ZhongTian Empire, and they controlled the entire betting. If they truly wanted, they could easily renege on it, with at least ten ways they could use to avoid paying out.
Shangguan Tianxin started, and his mouth twitched a little. After a mont of silence, he finally said. "Give it to them, we shall not throw our face as the greatest Empire. We'll pay out what we owe."
Long ZhanTang hesitated a while, before saying. "Your Majesty, that is almost thirty percent of our usual annual gross national revenue! Our total profits from this year's Heavenly Jewel Tournant betting is barely above one hundred and sixty million gold coins, if we pay out five hundred million gold coins, we would have to pay from our pockets."
Shangguan Tianxin gave a humph and said. "What do you suggest then? Renege on it? They fought this and won on their own power. Go, do as I said."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Long ZhanTang did not dare protest further, quickly leaving after acknowledgnt.
Seeing his finance minister leave, only then did Shangguan Tianxin turn back, shaking his head. He muttered to himself. "Little brat, are you trying to get Bing'er's dowry beforehand? Our ZhongTian Empire's money isn't that easy to earn. Where is Longyin? What has happened that he hasn't returned after such a long ti?"
Naturally, the Fei Li Battle Team mbers did not know that they had given the ZhongTian Emperor a sore heart. When Zhou Weiqing got the shining gold card with thirty-two gold various colored gems inset on it, a huge grin appeared on his face.
This was the most famous gold storage card in the entire mainland, ford by the ZhongTian Bank, and could be used almost everywhere.
Every single mber of the Fei Li Battle Team felt as if they were in a dream.
To be able to actually defeat one of the seeded teams, not just by strategy, but actually defeating their top two powerhouses, such a brilliant victory was sothing they had not even dreamt of.
When they returned to the inn, Lin TianAo gathered everyone and said.
"First, we have won against the seeded team and everyone has worked hard. But we just cannot relax now since the actual drawing lots will be held one day before the quarter-finals. Weiqing, do you have any plans going forward?"
Zhou Weiqing shook his head, saying. "Without knowing our opponent, I'm unable to co up with anything concrete. At least we do know that we will not be facing another seeded team for the next fight. I have confidence that we will be able to face any of the second teams and enter the top four; the only one we need to be careful of will be the Kalise Empire. As far as I can see, they have the Heavenly Demon Sect supporting them. Even if they do not dare to use the secret techniques of the Heavenly Demon Sect and reveal themselves, they are still not to be underestimated."
Lin TianAo nodded, saying. "There are four groups, so there is only a quarter chance of us drawing them. We shall discuss our strategy in greater detail the day after tomorrow after drawing lots then."
After saying that, he swept his gaze around the entire team, before finally saying softly.
"I know that everyone is extrely excited after defeating the Dan Dun Battle Team. However, I must remind everyone not to get ahead of ourselves. We still have not reached our goal, the top four, and are still currently at the top eight. Indeed, we have taken a huge step towards it, but I need all of you to hold yourselves back. There is ti for excitent and celebration after we have t our goals. If any of you are overly excited, causing your form to deteriorate, I will not hesitate to stop you from entering the next fight. Understood?"
"Understood!" The rest of the team chorused.
Upon hearing their agreent, only then did Lin TianAo's face relax, and he smiled. Turning to Zhou Weiqing, he said. "There are still a few days for us to rest, and everyone should get sufficient rest. Of course… defeating the Dan Dun Battle Team is a great team effort… and sobody won five hundred million gold coins! You all decide what you want to do, I'm heading out first. I didn't see anything…."
As he said that, he turned out and walked out the door, with Zhou Weiqing staring at him with his jaw agape.
The other mbers also turned their gazes to Zhou Weiqing, green in their eyes as they looked at him wickedly…
Zhou Weiqing said pitifully. "Everybody… Heroes… Beloved Teammates… you wouldn't…."
Little Four waggled a brow at him. "Well… that depends on your performance…"
Zhou Weiqing looked pleadingly at Crow. "Sis Crow, you were saying earlier that you wanted to be with … will you be so hard-hearted to see them bully poor, weak little ?"
Crow looked at him vacantly. "Weak? You?"
Drunken Bao said savagely. "Enough, do not let this rascal speak anymore… let's go!"
"AHHHHH…. NOOOOO…..!"
Soon, screams of agony rang throughout the hotel...
After the preliminary heats of the Heavenly Jewel Tournant, it was as good as over for the ordinary citizens.
With the Fei Li Battle Team beating the Dan Dun Battle Team, it would definitely an a very dynamically different quarterfinal.
It had been years, even decades before there had been a different team in the top four of the Heavenly Jewel Tournant, and it seed like this year would bring a change indeed.
No matter if it was the Fei Li Battle Team or their quarterfinal opponent who entered the top four, it was still a major change for the tournant.
