Ding Hao nodded slightly.
That was true. Although the disciples of the Central Academy of white shirts were conceit, Li Muyun and Liang Feixue were definitely not villains who liked conspiracies and plots. The people of Honorable Alliance of Seven were all very charming and had their own pride.
“Since it is so, what can I help you?” Ding Hao asked quietly.
“I especially came here to apologize to you,” Sun Jiutian said the surprising words.
“Apologize to me?” Ding Hao was amazed.
Sun Jiutian nodded and looked sincere.
“Yes, I apologize to you for the provocative actions and ridiculous words in the daytime. I like to play some tricks before the game to interfere with the opponent’s preparations. Others don’t know your strength, but I know that you are strong. Since the lottery has been settled, my actions and words on the stage were just to disturb your mood and affect your performance. Unfortunately, your will is firm and my strategy has failed. Since it is a strategy, I must apologize to you after the end of the contest, regardless of winning or losing.”
There was a slight smile on Ding Hao’s face. He nodded and said, “In this case, I accept your apology.”
Sun Jiutian laughed and said, “Thank you.” After that, he turned and left at once.
After two steps, he seemed to think of something, stopped, turned and looked at Ding Hao seriously, saying, “My older brother and second brother must revenge on you, so be careful if you encounter them in the semifinals.”
After that, he flashed and disappeared into the woods.
There was a wide smile on Ding Hao’s face.
Sun Jiutian was a very interesting guy.
It was the last sentence he left that… Well, they would revenge on him?
Sun Jiutian’s meaning had to be that they would seriously beat him if he met them in the semifinals to revenge for Sun Jiutian.
Ding Hao smiled happily.
What he wanted was the most intense battle.
To be honest, if possible, he would rather hope to fight Li Muyun and Liang Feixue in the semifinals, the best young geniuses among Honorable Alliance of Seven.
Ding Hao walked to his dormitory through the dense woods in the moonlight.
The party with the disciples had delayed his cultivation, and then he had to hurry to restore his strength to try to make a breakthrough and go further in tomorrow’s competition.
However, it was obvious that it was not a calm night, because, on the road ahead, there was a man waiting for him.
…
The tree shadows were mottled with the light on the radiant bluestone slabs. Li Lan and his two confidants, under the moonlight, stopped Ding Hao’s way.
“We’ve been waiting for a long time.” Li Lan slowly came out of the shadows and looked at Ding Hao.
Ding Hao looked up with a confused look.
Li Lan, the young genius of Eastern Academy of green shirts who had promoted one of the seven top Seeded fighters, did not leave a good impression on Ding Hao. Li Lan showed a feeling of femininity, of being good at plotting people, and he was serious, and looked down upon others. Ding Hao did not like him.
Nevertheless, Ding Hao did not hate Li Lan.
After all, both of them were disciples of the Eastern Academy of green shirts.
“Your performance is very good today,” Li Lan said quietly, “Ding Hao, now I’ve decided to give you a chance to follow me, and you will get everything.”
Ding Hao was stunned for a while, and he couldn’t help but laugh.
Getting everything?
These words were just like the promises during his previous life that the leaders of heresy had made when they were recruiting its believers?
Ding Hao seriously looked at Li Lan under the moonlight. Li Lan did not seem to be joking. He finally stopped smiling and asked, “Are you serious?”
Li Lan still answered very seriously.
“Of course. You are very good. I really hope that you can join my group. We will control the Eastern Academy of green shirts together. After one year, we will control all the disciples of this session. All the geniuses, such as Lin Xin, Lyu Kuang, and the people in Honorable Alliance of Seven, will bow before us. In the future, we can even control the core power of Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.”
Li Lan did not hide his ambitions at all.
When he spoke, there was a fascinating expression in his eyes, as if a devout believer was telling his beliefs, firm, and confident.
Ding Hao wore a serious look instead of a smile.
However, he was not attracted by Li Lan’s “Emperor’s hegemony”.
Ding Hao felt that in any case, he should not laugh at Li Lan, a young boy with dreams, ambitions, dedication, and impulsiveness. It was just like that a poor student during his previous life who did not think about making academic progress should not laugh at an effortful classmate.
Because Ding Hao himself was also very clear, compared to his lack of desire for power and hegemony, Li Lan was obviously more suitable for the world of cold jungle rule, and more familiar with the rules of the game in this world.
However, though he had known that, Ding Hao would obviously not make the choice Li Lan expected.
He shook his head gently.
Li Lan’s face changed. He asked, “Ding Hao, have you decided to continue to fight with me like this?”
“Fight with you?” Ding Hao touched his nose and smiled. “What will I fight for? I really have no interest in what you’ve said. Some people like power, while some people like to be a recluse with no fixed abode. I’m the latter.”
Li Lan groaned and began to look at Ding Hao up and down with a strange gaze.
He was trying to figure out whether Ding Hao was telling the truth or was fooling him.
After a long while, Li Lan nodded slightly.
It seemed that he had believed what Ding Hao had said.
“Maybe you don’t want to fight with me, but my instincts have been telling me that sooner or later, we will stand on the opposite side.” Li Lan, under the moonlight, had quite a bit of a prophet’s posture. He definitely said, “However, you will not be my opponent, because your foundation is too weak.”
Ding Hao was speechless.
Why did Li Lan, a gloomy teenager who was originally good at plotting, gradually become a swindler?
“Don’t doubt. What I’ve told you is true. Our first confrontation will be the ‘the battle of the head of the academy’ after the competitions of the five academies,” Li Lan continued, “My identity is different from yours, so I will use some other means to take first place of the academy. I choose to tell you now, so you can make preparation and thus we can have a fair battle.”
“The battle of being the head of the academy? What is the head of the academy?” Ding Hao felt stunned.
“The head of the academy naturally refers to the first position of our academy,” he said. Li Lan obviously did not want to hide information.
