Chapter 22: The Beginning (Seeking Recommendations)

  ♂?,,

  During Wang Ting and Xi Ruo's brief conversation, a huge commotion broke out in the crowd again, and vaguely, Hailin's name could be heard.

  Before long, the cause of this duel, Hailin, the apple of Earl Haynow's eye, appeared in the dueling arena accompanied by Li Mu and three female students.

  As soon as Hailin appeared, she attracted everyone's attention. Even the arrival of Wang Ting did not cause such a huge stir. From this point, it can be fully seen that the reason why this duel is attracting so many people to watch is probably because most people are here for Hailin and Gong Sunzhuang.

  And Wang Ting...

  In everyone's heart, he is probably just a figurehead.

  "It's Miss Hailin'er."

  Seeing Hailin and others arrive, Beiwu Ya and Xi Ruojian's gaze also looked over.

  Hailin, the darling of Count Haino and the apple of Marquis Hayton's eye, is superior to some formal viscounts in terms of status.

  "Hello, fellow students of Wuyue University, let's catch up."

  Xi Ruojian said.

  Being able to get along well with Hailin'er would be extremely beneficial for them in Bishui City.

  "Good."

  Bei Wu Ya nodded slightly.

  "Wang Ting, come along too."

  "It's not needed."

  Seeing this, Xi Ruojian also didn't insist, nodded and went over with Bei Wuyan together.

  Watching the departing Xi Ruojian and Bei Wuyan, Liu Ruxi's eyes were filled with envy. Miss Hailin'er, what kind of person is she? To be able to associate with such a person, the benefits in the future are unimaginable. However, she also knew her own identity, clinging to some viscounts or barons was possible, but wanting to enter Miss Hailin'er's circle, that was simply a pipe dream.

  Thinking of this, Liu Ruxi took another look at Wang Ting, and vaguely felt that he was unappreciative of good intentions, having missed such a good opportunity.

  At the same time as Xi Ruojian and Bei Wuyan walked towards Hailin'er, Li Mu also walked in this direction from Hailin'er's camp, and soon came to Wang Ting's front.

  "It's truly unexpected that I can defeat Roger and his three men."

  Looking at Wang Ting, this man with high-ranking swordsman strength said, and at the same time, he was also looking straight at this ordinary young man for the first time.

  At sixteen, he broke through the encirclement of three formal swordsmen, which was enough to attract his attention.

  Wang Ting didn't say anything.

  Marquis Haydn is a title similar to that of Abbot Ming, and in the Taixuan Kingdom, he is absolutely a pillar-level figure. With their family's power, it would not be difficult for them to gather some intelligence at the Xuanzhong High-Level Swordsmen Academy.

  Moreover, Wang Ting defeated Roger's three formal swordsmen without deliberately concealing it, and at that time, there were probably many people who happened to be in the dormitory building who witnessed it with their own eyes.

  "Although I don't know what method was used, being able to repel Roger's three-man siege is indeed qualified for a formal duel with Gong Sun Zan."

  Li Mu said.

  His words, however, surprised Qin Qing.

  As a senior disciple of Xuanzhong's high-level swordsmen, Lao Sheng had specifically inquired about Gong Sunzhuang these days. As for the masters around Gong Sunzhuang, he naturally knew them like the back of his hand.

  Wang Ting?

  Actually repelled the siege of three formal swordsmen?

  Repelled the attack of three formal swordsmen, which is something that many mid-tier swordsmen can't even accomplish.

  "Very hardworking, very diligent and also very talented, otherwise it would not be possible to achieve such remarkable achievements in such a short period of time."

  Li Mu said, and indeed gave Wang Ting a definite payment for these efforts.

  But the next moment, his words suddenly turned sharply: "Although I have indeed qualified for a formal duel with Gong Sun Zan, ... this duel, defeat is allowed but victory is not!" As he said this, his tone paused slightly, and he stretched out one finger to say faintly: "This is not a negotiation, but an order, my order, as well as the order of the forces behind me. You can be resentful, angry, hateful, or vengeful - it doesn't matter, just remember one thing: this duel, defeat is allowed but victory is not, that's all."

  When he said these words, he didn't care about Wang Ting's attitude at all.

  Because it doesn't matter.

  He's just a mid-tier swordsman, no matter how talented he is. Let alone the forces backing him, even if it were him himself, killing a mid-tier swordsman wouldn't be a difficult task at all.

  "Is it allowed to lose but not to win? This is too much!"

  Li Mu's words were spoken as if no one was around, completely disregarding anyone's attitude or opinion. Qin Qing naturally heard it too and couldn't help but say angrily.

  Upon hearing Qin Qing's words, Li Mu turned his face around, calm as if he was saying something unrelated: "Did I say you could speak?"

  “……”

  Qin Qing was about to speak again when Liu Ruisi hastily pulled her back and yanked her backwards with force.

  "Think!"

  "Qin Qing, don't be reckless! This Li Mu is an official appointed by the Earl of Haino himself to take care of Miss Hailin's daily life at the Xuanzhong Advanced Swordsmen Academy. His words are almost equivalent to those of the Earl of Haino. Offending him will definitely have no good consequences, even if you're not afraid for yourself, you should think about your family and friends. Can we ordinary people afford to provoke an official from the House of Haino?"

  "This..."

  Qin Qing calmed down upon hearing this, although she was still very unwilling in her heart. However, with the power of the Earl of Haino reaching the heavens, if he were to deal with them, not even the first family of Bishui City, the Xifeng Family, could protect them.

  For a moment, she who had always been filled with a sense of justice in her heart could not help but look very pained.

  "Alright, I've delivered the order. With our Bluewater City's first-rate intelligence, you should know what to do is correct. Let Miss Hailin interact with an ordinary person? This matter, Earl Haynow will absolutely not allow it. Smart people shouldn't be like those ordinary people who don't know their limits and think they can withstand Earl Haynow's anger, right?"

  Li Mu finished speaking and slightly waved his hand. He didn't care whether Wang Ting would really agree or not, and directly headed towards the camp where Hailin and others were located.

  Xiruo Jian and others who were accompanying Hailin to talk saw Li Mu return, somewhat surprised, not knowing what they were talking about, but at this time she didn't care much either.

  It was Hailin who seemed to know what Li Mu had just said, and looked at Wang Ting with great interest, as if waiting for Wang Ting to deal with the matter.

  Seeing Li Mu leave, Qin Qing said with some resentment: "This Li Mu is really too much. Why did he have to make Wang Ting admit defeat? If the Earl of Haino really doesn't allow Miss Hailin and Wang Ting to interact, just say so directly. Why did he have to resort to trickery in this matter?"

  "Are you too naive? Earl Hainober and Miss Hailin, with their status, would they do something so untrustworthy... Alright, although there may be times when they are untrustworthy, but at least in this matter, they didn't have to compromise. Compared to being untrustworthy later on and losing face, isn't it better for the royal court to admit defeat voluntarily?"

  Liu Ruxi said, as for these things, she saw more clearly than Qin Qing.

  "This..."

  "Whoosh!"

  Wang Ting's figure took a step forward.

  "Wang Ting?"

  Qin Qing shouted with some worry.

  "Wang Ting, you coward, since you've arrived, come crawling up here!"

  At this time, Gong Sun's somewhat arrogant voice came over simultaneously.

  The next moment, Wang Ting's footsteps had already taken a big step forward, straight to the dueling arena where Gong Sun was.

  ————————————

  "This is an era of aristocratic rule! The royal court that cannot be integrated into this world, will it end up being killed by mechs like in the previous life, or will it be forced to bow its head and form an alliance with others? The battle has already begun, this is a clash between two systems, a collision between two ideologies! Let us officially start, accompany the royal court together, and fight side by side!"
