"He is indeed a genius with a big tool. In just half a month, he has shown his talent and shone brightly."
In the courtyard of the Immortal Five Area, Wang Lu was reading the latest news in the study, clicking his tongue.
"In the trading area, the baldie figurines should be almost out of stock, right?"
Hai Yunfan, the secretary on the side, replied, "The sales are indeed good. During this time, he has won consecutive battles, and with the operation of some people, his popularity has skyrocketed. According to the results of the Mysterious Sky Mansion's survey, his popularity index can already be ranked in the top ten of the Wanxian League … Whether it is strength or management ability, it is amazing."
Wang Lu said, "Of course, he will have amazing performance if he can be chosen by Shijō-jin as a son-in-law — in fact, you haven't seen the most amazing part of him."
Hai Yunfan was surprised, "Shijō-jin chose him as a son-in-law? Isn't Luo Xiao a Zen cultivator? "
Wang Lu sneered, "Happy Zen, haven't you heard of it?"
Hai Yunfan naturally heard that this was a joke, but the matter of Shijō-jin looking for a son-in-law was probably not groundless. Thinking of the little baldie who was very devout in Zen and had a bitter face when Shijō-jin dressed him as a groom, he couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
"… If the matter of a son-in-law is true, then he is really lucky. It seems that Shijō-jin wants to pass on all his life savings to him. It's just that a true gentleman has many children, and there are more than a dozen daughters alone. I wonder which one he is going to marry? "
Wang Lu smiled, "Maybe there are many. After all, he has a big tool and a good life. Monogamy can no longer stop him."
"A big tool and a good life …"
Wang Lu waved his hand, "In short, you don't have to follow Luo Xiao so closely. If he wants to be a star, let him be. Now that Shijō-jin is endorsing him, there is no need for me to meddle."
"… Is that so? Alright, I'll find someone to place an order for the Secret Mountain cultivators and have them keep a close eye on them. "
Wang Lu immediately smiled. Little Hai's secretary was really considerate.
Ever since he became the chief planner, there were some things that he couldn't say directly. Even if he had to say it, he had to say it in reverse. At this time, as a secretary, whether or not he could correctly understand the leader's intentions was a test of his skill. And Little Hai's performance rarely disappointed him.
Wang Lu nodded. "Pay attention to the way you do things."
Hai Yunfan sighed. "Don't worry, I won't implicate you. Luo Xiao is now the target of public criticism. You're not the only one who has their eyes on him. Even if you're exposed, you can push the blame onto others. Hidden Mountain has received a lot of orders for Luo Xiao. "
"Heh, this is the fate of celebrities. Let Shijō-jin and the others have a headache."
Wang Lu shook his head and then put aside all the information about Luo Xiao and shifted his attention to other affairs.
Since he reached an agreement with Shijō-jin half a month ago, Wang Lu had let Luo Xiao do as he pleased.
In the past half a month, Luo Xiao had applied for seven consecutive competitions, all of which were approved by Wang Lu. There were even some competitions where, in order to arrange for Luo Xiao, they did not hesitate to forcibly take the originally determined candidate, which caused a lot of controversy. However, Luo Xiao won again and again. Including the previous two competitions, his record of nine consecutive victories was dazzling and showed his sharpness. Soon, he became a rising star in the City of Immortals.
In this regard, Wang Lu was not surprised. Luo Xiao could make Shijō-jin take him so seriously, so he was not an embroidered pillow. It was inevitable that he had some strength. However, that was all. Nine consecutive victories looked brilliant, even more dazzling than Wang Lu's five consecutive victories.
However, the difficulty of the two could not be mentioned in the same breath. One was to single-handedly turn the tide when the Wanxian League was in full decline, while the other was to pursue victory. Moreover, there was no hard fight in the nine matches, so the value of the two was very different. A large part of the current fame was the credit of hype.
Therefore, there was no need to spend too much energy on Luo Xiao. In contrast, the Dixian camp was more worthy of attention …

Wang Lu was a person who could distinguish between priorities. His displeasure with Luo Xiao was only a private matter, which could be said to be insignificant in the context of the entire Grand Competition. It was a good habit of Wang Lu to not abandon the public for personal reasons.
Unfortunately, just as Wang Lu turned his eyes away, Luo Xiao was unwilling to be left out.
Five days later, Luo Xiao's tenth match ended.
The content of the match was only a minor detail. A victory could only be exchanged for two victory points, which could even be described as chicken ribs. However, for Luo Xiao, this was his ten consecutive victories.
Ten consecutive victories, even if the value was slightly insufficient, was still a shocking enough topic. For a time, countless people flocked to Luo Xiao. Even the main newspapers and magazines under the Mysterious Sky Mansion sent a special person to interview him.
And in the interview, there was an interesting dialogue.
"Daoist Master Luo Xiao, do you feel surprised by your current achievements?"
This question was actually a standard free point question — impression points. Luo Xiao only replied humbly as usual, such as: Yes, I didn't expect to play so well. It must be because of everyone's support. I hope I can continue to get everyone's support in the future and make due contributions to the Grand Competition.
However, this time, Luo Xiao chose another answer.
"Yes, I didn't expect the ten consecutive victories to be so late. I thought it would be earlier. Unfortunately, the applications for the previous matches were suppressed. Probably, I haven't been able to prove myself at that time."
At that time, the reporter who heard this froze for a long time before he realized that Luo Xiao was blatantly targeting Wang Lu!
Thus, the reporter immediately threw out more stimulating questions.
"Presumably, Daoist Master Luo Xiao also knows that your record of ten consecutive victories has broken the highest record in the Grand Competition so far. The previous record holder is Daoist Master Wang Lu's six consecutive victories. What do you think of this? "
Luo Xiao said with a smile, "This is not a simple comparison of numbers. Daoist Master Wang Lu's result is much higher than mine … However, this is only temporary. The Grand Competition is only halfway through, and most of the key matches have not yet begun. I think I have enough time to surpass the previous record."
When it came to this, his meaning could not be more obvious.
In this regard, people marveled at Luo Xiao's amazing feat, but they also marveled at the fact that among the cultivators of this generation, there were people who dared to challenge Wang Lu head-on … Then they began to wonder how Wang Lu would react.
As everyone knew. Wang Lu didn't like Luo Xiao from the beginning, and the suppression against him had been a topic of conversation for many people. At this time, Luo Xiao's ten consecutive victories made his suppression policy very embarrassing. Moreover, today's tit-for-tat seemed to be a reasonable retaliation.
Whether Luo Xiao could shake Wang Lu's position or not, what kind of attitude would Wang Lu take in the challenge of this rising star?
As everyone knew, Wang Lu never seemed to be a magnanimous person.

In the courtyard of Immortal Five Area, Wang Lu looked at the latest report presented by Hai Yunfan and laughed angrily.
"What a joke! How dare they question my breadth of mind? Now these media reporters really know how to play tricks. If I were really narrow-minded, with my current authority, wouldn't it be easy to shut down and rectify several magazines? It's only because they see my generosity that they dare to jump up and down in front of me. "
Hai Yunfan had a different opinion on this. "I don't think it's so simple. These newspapers and magazines have been promoting Luo Xiao before, and it's obvious that someone is manipulating them. I thought it was Shijō-jin at first, but after investigating, I found that it was not so. "
Wang Lu said, "It doesn't matter who is manipulating them. What's important is that since they have questioned it, it's not right for me to not give an answer. Little Hai, help me prepare a celebration ceremony in two days. "
"Celebration ceremony?" Hai Yunfan frowned. "To celebrate your several consecutive victories?"
Wang Lu laughed. "Wrong, not to celebrate my consecutive victories, but to celebrate Luo Xiao's ten consecutive victories. Doesn't he want to be glorious? Then I'll give him glory! "
Two days later, the celebration ceremony arranged by Hai Yunfan officially began.
The theme was to celebrate Daoist Master Luo Xiao's ten consecutive victories in the Grand Competition. The organizer was the Organizing Committee of the Grand Competition, which had a very high standard. The host was the chief planner and executive elder of the Organizing Committee, Wang Lu himself. In this regard, there was naturally a heated discussion in the City of Immortals. No matter how one looked at it, Wang Lu's battle array seemed to have an ulterior motive. Perhaps there were five hundred axemen lying in ambush at the celebration site, so that they could smash Luo Xiao into minced meat.
However, Luo Xiao had to attend this ceremony, because Wang Lu also invited many Supremes and Deity Stage Elders of Heavenly Sage Hall — naturally, including Supreme He Tu, who had always supported Wang Lu. It was an unprecedented grand occasion.
Even if he knew that the banquet was not a good one, how could Luo Xiao dare to stand up so many Elders?
Therefore, Luo Xiao finally came.
And then he regretted it.
At the beginning of the ceremony, he realized that he really shouldn't have come today. Even if he said that he suffered an internal injury in the match a few days ago, it was better than attending such a ceremony.
There were no five hundred executioners at the ceremony, nor was there any smashing of cups … In fact, Wang Lu did not show any hostility. He just sat on the rostrum with a serious expression and read the report in his hand.
The name of the report was: Report on the Advanced Deeds of Daoist Master Luo Xiao.
