52: Chapter 52 The Show Is About to Begin

"In that case, I also have no objections!"

Sun Liancheng nodded aside, looking at Xiao Xuance as he said: "The four of us can temporarily form a small Alliance, taking turns to go up and challenge, striving to let everyone get the opportunity of three consecutive wins or more. I wonder what Fellow Daoist Xiao thinks?"

A few days ago, Sun Liancheng and Xiao Xuance had sparred with each other, so Sun Liancheng naturally knew how formidable Xiao Xuance was and considered himself no match for Xiao Xuance.

Therefore, among this group of people, the one he most wanted to befriend was Xiao Xuance, who possessed stronger strength and had the backing of a Peak Foundation Establishment Family and the Shuiyue Sect.

Next was Lin Shen, who had always kept a low profile.

Although he had never seen Lin Shen make a move, both were Sword Cultivators, and Sun Liancheng's own intuition told him that the strength of Lin Shen before him was definitely not weak.

As for Wang Weidong, this person's strength was not considered strong, and befriending him was just an incidental matter for Sun Liancheng, purely to make more friends and open up more paths.

Hearing Sun Liancheng's inquiry, Xiao Xuance pondered slightly, then nodded and said: "I don't have any objections either, except that one thing must be made clear beforehand: when one's own strength is sufficient, there is no need for others to intentionally throw the match. Only when the person in the arena gives a hint can one make a move."

The four wanted to form a small Alliance, and this was something Xiao Xuance had to make clear.

After all, he had sufficient confidence in his own strength; generally speaking, wanting to achieve three or four consecutive wins was effortless for him.

The reason he agreed was merely to play it safe, in order to challenge for more and higher consecutive wins.

That was why he deliberately brought this matter out into the open and stated it clearly beforehand.

This was beneficial to everyone.

It also prevented someone like Wang Weidong, whose strength was not quite up to par, from intentionally throwing matches and wanting to take the opportunity to come up and grab a share of the spoils.

At Xiao Xuance's words, Sun Liancheng and Lin Shen looked at each other.

They did not dwell on it or hesitate too much, and directly nodded in agreement.

As for Wang Weidong, his heart was somewhat rather displeased.

Originally, according to his thoughts, no matter what, as long as the three of Xiao Xuance achieved three consecutive wins, he could go up to challenge and grab a share of the spoils.

Now that the matter had been directly pointed out by Xiao Xuance, he could no longer act according to his previous plan.

Now that both Lin Shen and Sun Liancheng had agreed, the only course of action left for him was to hope that Lin Shen, Sun Liancheng, and the others would encounter formidable opponents when they were about to achieve three consecutive wins.

In that way, he could also take the opportunity to go up and challenge, intentionally throwing the match a bit, and thus legitimately acquire a sum of resources from them.

"Right, Fellow Daoist Xiao is also an Inner Sect Disciple of the Shuiyue Sect. I wonder if you have seen the Prodigy of the Qin Family within the Qin Family these past two days?"

After the few of them finished discussing the Alliance matter, Sun Liancheng suddenly asked curiously from the side.

Xiao Xuance's strength was formidable; although he did not have a Golden Core Elder as a backer behind him, he could still be considered a person of outstanding talent within the Shuiyue Sect.

That Prodigy of the Qin Family was also a Genius, and since both belonged to the Shuiyue Sect, perhaps the two sides were quite familiar with each other.

Hearing Sun Liancheng's inquiry, Xiao Xuance shook his head and said with a calm expression: "I have never seen her. I am not very familiar with that Senior Sister Qin, and when we were at the Shuiyue Sect, we only crossed paths a few times."

There was nothing to conceal about this.

Nor was there any need to try to cozy up to relationships.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Xuance continued: "However, according to the information I've obtained, that Senior Sister Qin is currently not at the Qin Family. She should return to the Qin Family tomorrow along with that Golden Core Elder of our Shuiyue Sect."

As he spoke, a trace of expectation and yearning flashed through Xiao Xuance's eyes, and he secretly pumped himself up in his heart.

He must perform well on the arena tomorrow and strive to produce the most outstanding performance.

After all, tomorrow there would be many of the Golden Core Realm watching the battle, most of whom were Golden Core Elders of his Shuiyue Sect.

If his performance was outstanding, it might not be impossible for him to be favored by a Golden Core Elder and taken in as a Disciple.

At that time, his status and position within the Shuiyue Sect would undergo earth-shattering changes.

"I see..."

Sun Liancheng nodded thoughtfully, a meaningful smile appearing on his face as he said: "Recently, throughout the entire Qin Estate, the matter of the engagement cancellation between that Li Yifan and the Prodigy of the Qin Family has been spreading like wildfire. If she hears this news tomorrow, I wonder how she will react?"

In his heart, he looked forward to the Prodigy of the Qin Family becoming enraged, and looked forward to the Prodigy of the Qin Family wanting to personally kill Li Yifan to wash away her own humiliation.

In this way.

The matter of him previously leaking Li Yifan's information to the Qin Family could be maximized in terms of benefits.

He would definitely be able to obtain a hefty resource reward from it, and even gain the friendship of a Golden Core Family.

"That I do not know..."

Xiao Xuance glanced indifferently at Sun Liancheng and replied: "My Senior Sister Qin has a cold temperament, and even if she hears the news, I'm afraid she won't have much of a reaction."

"However, one thing is certain: that Li Yifan will not get far. If he is still in this Qingfeng County, the day the two-hundredth birthday of the Qin Family Ancestor concludes will be that Li Yifan's date of death..."

On this point, no one had more say than him.

That Senior Sister Qin of his held an extremely high status and position in the Shuiyue Sect. Regardless of whether the Qin Family made a move or not, the younger generation of Cultivators from the Shuiyue Sect would definitely not let this matter go unchecked.

After the two-hundredth birthday of the Qin Family Ancestor concluded, a large number of Inner Sect Disciples of the Shuiyue Sect would definitely go out to hunt down Li Yifan, wishing to use this to build friendly relations with that Senior Sister Qin of theirs.

No!

To be precise, they wanted to use this to ingratiate themselves with the Golden Core Realm Cultivator behind Senior Sister Qin.

After all, that old nun of the Golden Core Realm was famously known in the Shuiyue Sect for valuing her reputation and cherishing her feathers; she would absolutely not allow her Personal Disciple to have such gossip spreading outside.

Nearby.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Lin Shen secretly curled the corners of his mouth slightly upward.

The development of things was getting better and better.

It seemed that after the conclusion of the two-hundredth birthday of Qin Family Ancestor Qin Mingyuan tomorrow, he must absolutely not be distracted and must constantly observe the movements of the Qin Family and the crowd from the Shuiyue Sect.

Only in this way could he obtain the news at the very first moment, thereby following along and letting him complete the final fatal blow against that Li Yifan.

After the four formed a brief small Alliance and exchanged some insights on Cultivation as well as the news they had obtained, they each dispersed and did not stay long in Lin Shen's courtyard.

After all, it was getting late now.

In order to achieve good results in tomorrow's arena sparring, they definitely had to conserve their strength and prepare well, striving to be favored by the Golden Core Realm and thus receive some guidance.

Watching the backs of the crowd as they each departed.

A smile appeared at the corner of Lin Shen's mouth as he slowly closed the courtyard door.

After tomorrow...

Is when the good show begins...

Beneath such an inescapable net, he wanted to see how that Li Yifan could escape this murderous intent coming from all directions.
