"Damn it..."
Lin Zhao was so embarrassed he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. He had been preoccupied with the matter of Ding Chi's brother-in-law, and it had slipped out. What was he going to do? Looking at Chen Xue and Luo Man's unfriendly gazes, he was at a loss. He raised his hand and punched Ding Chi, blaming him!
Ding Chi laughed heartily, a look of schadenfreude on his face.
"My apologies!"
Lin Zhao coughed and said, "I misspoke, please don't take offense."
Shen Lingyuan's brows were furrowed, and he looked displeased. What did he mean by misspoke? In the entire Huaxia server, across the national servers, how many young male players wished they could call him brother-in-law, but only you, Bai Yi, had the audacity to actually say it? What was his intention? Did he really think he was capable enough to be worthy of my sister Xingchen?
Shen Xingchen was Shen Lingyuan's soft spot. He believed no man in this world was worthy of his excellent sister. After all, Shen Lingyuan had been helping his father manage Xinghen Group for years, and his social engagements had increased. He had seen the true nature of men at various banquets and drinking parties, and he knew what men were like nowadays. The thought of this made him feel that no one was good enough for Shen Xingchen.
Therefore, when he looked at Lin Zhao again, Shen Lingyuan found him even more detestable.
"Less nonsense."
Shen Lingyuan frowned and said, "Are you going to fight or not? If you're fighting, sign the death waiver. If not, get lost and stop embarrassing yourself here."
"I'll fight."
Lin Zhao smiled slightly, "I'm afraid you're not good enough."
"Hmph, just you wait!"
The two of them spoke with the NPC and signed the death waiver. The next moment, they were teleported to a 100x100 death arena. The sound of countdown could already be heard in their ears.
...
"A Zhao!"
Ding Chi frowned, "That old guy is so arrogant, kill him, don't hold back!"
Chen Xue's lips curved slightly. She had considerable confidence in Lin Zhao's strength. With Lin Zhao's equipment and skills, he already had a slight advantage over his opponent. Crucially, Lin Zhao's mechanics were excellent. His positioning and engagement were definitely top-tier in the national servers, and his grasp of battle situations and exploitation of opportunities were also among the best.
"Bring it on!"
Shen Lingyuan's body sank as he raised a dark gold shield in front of him, his right hand holding his sword low, as if poised to strike. He grinned and said, "Let me see how capable the man is who could render Li Canghai and Ghost King helpless!"
"As you wish!"
Lin Zhao raised his sword and entered combat status but did not attack immediately, as Shen Lingyuan had already adopted a defensive stance. Under such defensive maneuvers, Lin Zhao's skills would likely be nullified, and the control effects of his Blade Qi Impact and Dragon Ascension Slash would also be...
"Mm!"
...
At the same time, a figure teleported from Yunshang County to Hexi County. Leng Yan held a gleaming, golden battle bow, a smug smile on his lips. It had to be me, he thought. The moment the starting bid appeared, I immediately bid 2 million, saving everyone a lot of time.
