"Lose? You mean I'm afraid of losing to Yu Xiaogang, right?"
"Mm… hiss… try not to mention his name, it hurts so much—"
The one who spoke was Liu Erlong, the Seven Treasures Young Sect Master's protector, who was accompanying Ning Rongrong.
Xin glanced at Liu Erlong and said calmly:
"Victory and defeat are common in war. I'm not afraid of losing. If I lose a bet I accepted, it just means I'm not as skilled. The one who's afraid of losing should be someone else."
"If I'm not mistaken, he should have already rushed to Spirit City ten days ago, right?"
Liu Erlong endured her headache and looked at Xin with some surprise:
"How do you know? Have you been monitoring his movements?"
"I've never monitored him. I just have some understanding of his character. The performance of my students should make him feel immense pressure. To win this bet, he even didn't hesitate to have you infiltrate Heart of Fire Academy. How could he not leverage the colossal Spirit Hall behind him?"
Liu Erlong strongly suppressed her headache and stubbornly said:
"Dean Xin, you misunderstand Xiaogang. He said he appreciates your talent and ability, and he believes that if I come to Heart of Fire Academy, you can help me improve my mutated Spirit, which is why he sent me. After observing these past few days, I can see that Dean Xin is also a good teacher. You and Xiaogang are both intelligent people who have a deep understanding of Spirits. Why can't you shake hands and be friends?"
Xin glanced at Liu Erlong, "You should ask your Grandmaster that question, not me."
"How so?"
Purple-blue lines gradually appeared on Liu Erlong's forehead, and her eyes were bloodshot. She must have had a splitting headache, and couldn't help but punch the nearby dirt slope fiercely, instantly raising a cloud of dust.
"The bet was initiated by Yu Xiaogang, and it's not the first time. If he were to act properly and display his abilities, I would have nothing to say. Or rather, I never considered him an opponent or an enemy."
Xin recounted the entire history of the grievances between Yu Xiaogang and Heart of Fire Academy. Liu Erlong was first surprised, somewhat incredulous:
"With Xiaogang's character, how could he actively challenge you? He's not that kind of person."
"What do you think Grandmaster will do when he goes to Spirit City this time?"
Xin changed the subject and lightly tapped her finger, slightly loosening the Diamond Circle on Liu Erlong's head, making her headache less severe. Communication required some rationality.
"He should… be preparing his students in advance for the upcoming finals," Liu Erlong hesitated.
"I guess he will go to Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong of Spirit Hall, ask Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong for Spirit cultivation methods, and eventually reach a cooperation with Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong, allowing Heaven Dou Royal Academy's main team and Spirit Hall's team to advance first. To ensure foolproof success, after reaching Spirit City, he will come to talk to you and gather information about my students."
"He might even guide Spirit Hall to ambush our Heart of Fire Academy on the way and target my students."
After Xin finished speaking, Liu Erlong was full of surprise and vehemently denied: "That's impossible, he wouldn't do such an unfair thing. This isn't the Xiaogang I know."
"Alright, there's no need to say more. You can never wake someone who's pretending to be asleep."
