Looking at the golden cold arrow in front of him, Qiandao Xun was not surprised, "The sea breeze is very strong. This brother has been blowing up there for so long, it's time for him to come down!"
Upon hearing that there was someone else, Nina looked at the treetop in panic. When she saw the person on the treetop, her face turned pale as if she was struck by lightning.
"...Why are you here?"
Zhebie jumped up from the tree, staring at Nina without blinking. He had not seen her for three years, six months and eighteen days. She was even more beautiful, but things had changed. He had imagined countless times what it would be like if they met again. Every time he thought of it, Zhebie's heart would be in a panic. This was the only thing that could prevent Zhebie from concentrating.
But after they actually met, Zhebie found himself unusually calm. Could it be that love had already died in his heart? Somehow Zhebie smiled.
Looking at Zhebie's smile, Nina's expression kept changing, her mind was in a mess, and she didn't even know what she should think. Qiandao Xun on the side didn't say anything, watching all this confidently.
"It's been a long time since we last met, Mr. De...Zhebie. The saying 'one should look at someone with new eyes after three days' is really appropriate for you."
Qiandao Xun, with a gleam of light in his eyes, felt a kind of power from the moment Zhebie landed on the ground. It was definitely a power of a high enough level. Although he got the news from Xiao Bote, he didn't take it too seriously. What could a useless civilian do in a few years? Even if he met a great magician, the masters of the Sanctuary could not train a waste into a talent.
Unfortunately, Zhebie is not a waste.
Zhebie simply ignored Qian Daoxun and asked, "How are you doing?"
This was the first sentence between the two of them. Zhebie could only say four words out of his thousands of words.
Nina suddenly smiled brightly and took Qiandao Xun's arm, "Very good, very good, can't you see it?"
Zhebie nodded silently and strode away. Qiandao Xun did not stop him, but just looked at the bow and arrow on the ground with a smile.
After a long while, Qian Daoxun looked at the beauty beside him, "Why don't you tell him that I was the one who threatened you with his safety back then?"
"Do you think I really cared about his safety? If so, I would have run away with him, but I didn't, and I won't now. Why do you think I'm a vicious woman?"
"Haha, that's his personality. I like it. No matter what happens in life, this kid wants to take you away from me. It wasn't possible before, and it's not possible now!"
The scheduled game was postponed due to the renovation of the stadium. At the same time, the safety of the audience was put on the agenda because of the battle between Caesar and Andre. It is very likely that large-scale killing tactics will appear in the subsequent games, and full preparations must be made. The organizers mobilized a large number of magicians to create magic barriers. Fortunately, this is the territory of the Mermaid King City, and the last thing they lack is magicians. Of course, it takes some time, and His Majesty Aries also took this opportunity to host a banquet for all the players who entered the top 64 and the principals of the participating colleges. The scale of the banquet is absolutely enviable. Being able to participate in such a banquet is an affirmation of ability and a supreme honor for young people.
Kao, who likes to join in the fun, was dressing up early in the morning, but everyone found that Zhebie was a little strange. This guy usually looks like that, so even if he has something on his mind, outsiders can't tell. But this time he was very strange. His expression was particularly weird, and he even had a little smile on his face. Others couldn't see it at all, but Caesar and Kao were old brothers, so this change was already a big one.
"Zhebie, tell me the truth. Why are you grinning lasciviously? Have you seen a woman you like? Come and leave it to your brother Kao. I guarantee you will get her!"
Student Zhebie, who always wears the same clothes, also changed into a new set of clothes.
"Come on, Zhebie, don't listen to him. This guy is good at talking. If you learn from him, you will definitely fail."
"Ah, how could I forget? The boss is an expert at hunting beauties. Let's ask him for advice."
"Okay, stop making trouble, let's go together. It's a pity that Yisa is not here. I always feel like something is missing."
Yisa is not a contestant, but Caesar can take her. However, this girl has been elusive recently and it's been a while since she could be found. Fortunately, everyone has gotten used to it.
"Boss, come on, you even like the taste of our Isa? Oh, I'm going to tell Princess Alina!"
…
"Bati, blast him to pieces!"
"Wow, Boss, you're so vicious!"
After verifying everyone's identities, Caesar and his party went in. Many people had already come to the banquet, including the contestants, the principal, and the royal families of various races who came to watch the competition. The strength of the elites was also of concern to the major royal families. This was a good opportunity for communication, and His Majesty Ares could not enjoy it alone.
"Mermaid Academy contestants, Caesar, Kao, Zhebie, Batty, and Didi are here."
All the eyes in the audience were on Caesar. It was impossible not to pay attention to this bright new star who rose almost instantly. Caesar was not at all nervous about the attention and remained composed. In fact, a very strange feeling arose in his heart. It was an amazing feeling, as if he was born to be the focus of attention.
Kao stuck out his belly. Although he took away the boss's attention, he finally showed his face. His old man would not do anything to him. Zhebie and Batistuta were dull stars. They were the same no matter what happened. Didi was as shy as ever. Not to mention so many people were looking at him, even if a stranger was looking at him, he would be the same... He could not change it in his lifetime. His shy appearance did attract the attention of some girls present, but they could not associate this shy boy with the most ruthless player of this session.
On one side of the hall, Nina and Qiandao Xun and a group of people were also looking at this place. When they arrived, the principals and others just glanced at them, but now they are like this, it is certain that they feel uncomfortable.
Lao Jiao and Edinburgh had already walked up, "Why are you guys here just now? You don't know how to respect the elderly. Come here, Caesar, there are some old men who want to meet you!"
The contestants who came one after another looked at Caesar with envy. This suddenly appeared myth was just like their own dream. These were the presidents of various colleges. The president was a very sacred existence in the sea people. They were a special group that was not restricted by country, sea and race, and their influence was extraordinary. All of this also resulted in very few people who could get their favor. Although they were still under the leadership of the king of their respective sea areas, they were actually equal in etiquette. Some of them were even the teachers of their kings. Respecting teachers was also the tradition of the sea people.
Lao Jiao pulled Caesar towards the group of old men. The principals of other schools were also very enthusiastic. It was obvious that they were very fond of young people of their age. It was their greatest wish to cultivate outstanding talents. Of course, they couldn't help but be a little jealous of old Jiao. Look at how proud he was, with his beard always curled up.
Seeing Caesar surrounded by old men, Kao shook his head helplessly, "Alas, being famous is not good either. I would rather be surrounded by beauties... What are you looking at, Zhebie?"
Kao followed Zhebie's gaze and saw a beautiful woman. She looked ordinary at first glance, but when he took a second look, he found her particularly interesting... Damn, this guy has good taste, but it seems that there is already a man beside her.
Qiandao Xun put his arm around Nina with one hand and raised his wine glass with the other, gesturing from a distance, his intention of demonstration was unmistakable.
It's nothing for Zhebie, but Kao couldn't stand it... Where did this arrogant kid come from?
"Hey, Zhebie, stop looking at them. They're all occupied by men. They're boring. Look at that one instead. It's really hot."
Kao's eyes began to look around. When looking at a woman, one should first look at three things, and a good figure is very important.
Qiandao Xun felt it was extremely boring to see that the other party ignored him. Since he was here, he had to have some fun, otherwise how could he have fun? He hugged Nina and walked towards Zhebie. Batti and Didi had already found a corner to eat and drink. For them, eating was the happiest thing.
"We meet again, Zhebie-san."
Zhebie nodded to indicate that no matter what happened in the past,... he should forget it now. Since she was living a good life, there was no need for him to destroy it. Things have changed over time and it is hard to undo what has been done. He understood this and was just adjusting his mindset. He originally thought it was difficult to understand, but now he found it was easier than he thought. It seemed that habits really could help people survive.
"You are still so quiet. Why did you come alone? Don't you have a female companion? Do you need me to introduce one to you?"
Nina herself didn't understand why she said that. Time could change a lot. She was no longer the same person she used to be. Seeing the different Zhebie standing there, she actually felt uncomfortable.
Even Qiandao Xun would be surprised that Nina's words could be more pointed than his. How interesting! "Nina is right. We are old friends. How about introducing you to a beautiful mermaid?"
Zhebie shook his head, "No need."
"Ah, so Zhebie already has one. I thought so too. How could such an outstanding man like Zhebie be ignored? Is it because he hasn't arrived yet? I'm really looking forward to it, right, Nina?"
