Chapter 1638: Do You Have Your Eye on Liu Jie?
Bai Hao had been staring at Liu Jie and thinking, Brother, you’ve caught the attention of a goddess. Can you show some sort of affable reaction? You’re so frustrating! How are you supposed to find a partner like this?
Xia Qing is one of the most beautiful girls of her generation. Her features are not only breathtaking, but her figure is outstanding too. Why aren’t you chatting her up?
Xia Qing had a small smile on her face as she sat next to Liu Jie.
Liu Jie’s actions had made him worthy of being called a hero of the Radiance Federation.
Xia Qing had felt bad for Liu Jie when he was unable to cure the Insect Queen.
But now, the Insect Queen was fully healed and was given a new opportunity. Xia Qing was over the moon about this.
Liu Jie was slightly uncomfortable under Xia Qing’s gaze, and he wondered why she needed to talk to him.
At that moment, Xia Qing said, “Why don’t we put off our fight to next year’s Radiance Envoy selection? You have already reached Sequence #3 of the Radiance Hundred Sequence and are eligible to compete for one of the Radiance Envoy spots.”
Liu Jie was slightly stunned, and he replied, “I’m not challenging you because of the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection but because I want to be number one. Also, my goal isn’t to become a Radiance Envoy, and I won’t be vying for a spot. I’m good with just becoming a Radiance Knight.”
Liu Jie’s words left Xia Qing with a stupefied expression.
As Night Leaning Moon’s disciple, he had been carefully taught by her and had enough power to become a Radiance Envoy.
Xia Qing did not know how many insect-species carcinoma feys Liu Jie had under his control.
He had defeated Long Tao with just the Quiet Floating Hat Insect.
He had not even used the Demon Flower Fragrance Shield Stinkbug that he summoned.
This was partly because Long Tao had been too cautious and given the Quiet Floating Hat Insect’s young insects too much time to get prepared.
Otherwise, the Quiet Floating Hat Insect would not have been able to halt the Wave Halberd Killer Whale.
Additionally, Diamond/Legend insect-species carcinoma feys were much too powerful, and fighting against Liu Jie was no different from fighting a mini catastrophe.
The Quiet Floating Hat Insect and Demon Flower Fragrance Shield Stinkbug had not had the chance to work together.
But if the insect-species carcinoma feys that Liu Jie controlled could cooperate perfectly, he could produce power on an unimaginable scale.
Xia Qing did not want to fight Liu Jie because she did not like fighting in front of an audience and felt that it was overly tedious.
She was also not afraid of Liu Jie.
Although Liu Jie had control of more than eight insect-species carcinoma feys, Xia Qing was still confident that she would be able to emerge victorious.
The Suck Burst Oxygen Toad was not Xia Qing’s main fey.
Xia Qing was just afraid that the fight between her and Liu Jie would end up depressing the members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence.
Thus, Xia Qing privately approached Liu Jie and said what she said to him.
However, she could not understand why he did not intend to become a Radiance Envoy.
Xia Qing looked into Liu Jie’s eyes and asked, “Why? Shouldn’t every member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence aim to become a Radiance Envoy?”
Liu Jie shook his head.
After a few days of pondering, he finally understood why Night Leaning Moon did not want him to become a Radiance Envoy.
It was true that if he was ever called to choose between Lin Yuan and the Radiance Federation, he would undoubtedly choose Lin Yuan.
He was not suited to become a Radiance Envoy with such a mentality because they needed to be focused on representing and protecting the Radiance Federation.
Liu Jie would only become a Radiance Knight if Lin Yuan became a Radiance Envoy.
If he could not protect Lin Yuan as a Radiance Knight, Liu Jie saw no point in being one.
However, there was no way that Liu Jie would tell Xia Qing this.
Eventually, Liu Jie just said, “Everyone has their own goal.”
Xia Qing glanced at the other members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence before saying, “If so, I can take the Sequence #3 spot and let you have Sequence #1. However, I have a request. I hope that you can give me an answer when you become a Radiance Knight.”
Xia Qing’s tone was full of confidence.
Liu Jie knew that Xia Qing’s confidence was not shallow but genuine belief in her own power.
Liu Jie replied, “That’s a deal. Even if you’re not a Radiance Envoy at that time, I will tell you the reason after I become a Radiance Knight.”
While he spoke, images of Lin Yuan, Zong Ze, Gu Lang, and An He appeared in Liu Jie’s mind.
As a support-type spirit qi professional, there was no way that Gao Feng would be able to become a Radiance Envoy. Hence, only Lin Yuan, Zong Ze, Gu Lang, An He, and Xia Qing could become Radiance Envoys.
The name list for the new batch of Radiance Envoys was all but confirmed, and they were only going through the selection to decide on the ranking.
Liu Jie and Xia Qing spoke softly to each other, so most of the people around them did not catch the contents of their conversation.
But Wang Fan and Bai Hao were just sitting next to them and had shocked expressions on their faces.
Was this the kind of conversation that bigshots had? They traded the position of Sequence #1 so easily!
But at the same time, Wang Fan and Bai Hao were genuinely happy for Liu Jie.
Liu Jie’s current status and power were unfamiliar to the two of them, but they still understood him as a person.
Liu Jie was still their good friend with whom they had gone on missions, overcome hardships, and shared blessings.
When it was Liu Jie’s turn, he chose to challenge Xia Qing.
Xia Qing only used the Suck Burst Oxygen Toad during the fight, and Liu Jie only used the Demon Flower Fragrance Shield Stinkbug and Hypha Tapeworm.
After fighting for a while, Xia Qing surrendered.
Every member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence now knew that Xia Qing and Liu Jie had to have made a deal with each other.
Both of them were hiding their power.
No one knew what Xia Qing’s secret weapon was.
However, Liu Jie had used the Dead Soul Demon Insect and Blade Queen Bee before but did not summon them during this fight.
The best match for the Blade Worms would be the Hypha Tapeworm.
Liu Wencheng had silently acknowledged the situation.
He looked at Xia Qing with an odd gaze.
He had watched the proud Xia Qing grow up and felt it was strange for Xia Qing to put herself at a disadvantage.
Liu Wencheng looked at the outstanding Liu Jie again and thought, Is it possible that Xia Qing has her eye on Liu Jie?
