Only now did Shan Gu realize that something was wrong with the atmosphere, but he was puzzled. Why was it like this? What happened? Everything was fine … Why was he unhappy?
And why did Liu apologize all of a sudden?
Chae Yi knew that Liu wasn't going to compete in the future and was going to work behind the scenes.
Why was he suddenly in such a mood now?
She wasn't like this before!
Ji Chae Yi looked at Liu Zhiyuan, her eyes watery. Then she laughed at herself. "I'm being unreasonable, aren't I?"
"But …" Shan Gu was about to speak, but Shirō Makino covered his mouth with his hand.
Then, Shirō Makino retracted his hand as if nothing had happened, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and wiped his mouth carefully.
Shan Gu looked at Shirō Makino with a gloomy face.
Shirō Makino glanced at him.
She didn't say anything, but they had been together for a long time, so Shan Gu could tell that she was asking him to shut up.
He looked at Shirō Makino. Why?
Shirō Makino pursed his lips.
Liu Zhiyuan shook his head. "I'm not being unreasonable. It's my fault."
"Alright, it's not a big deal. Chae Yi just felt something. After all, this is a real competition. She still hopes that you can appear in the arena and enjoy the glory of victory with everyone. She doesn't want to face the reporters and say that you won't go on the stage anymore. "Shirō Makino said.
Liu Zhiyuan nodded. "I understand, but I'm more suitable to be your nanny."
Shirō Makino glanced at him.
Liu Zhiyuan smiled. "And I like facing the media. As long as you keep winning, I'll always have a share of the glory!"
"But that's not the same." Ji Chae Yi couldn't hold back her tears any longer.
She grew up in a big family, so it wasn't that she didn't understand these things.
But every time she thought about how her father was busy all day, and how her mother was even busier than her father, and how she only saw those nannies and servants when she came home, she felt very sad.
She did not like this!
She hoped to be able to fight side by side with the person she liked. It didn't matter to her whether she won or lost.
If they lost, everyone would be sad together and shed tears together. Then, they would sum up the experience of failure and learn from their mistakes and start all over again!
If they won, everyone cheered and celebrated together. Then, he reminded himself not to be arrogant, and to continue to climb to new heights, to fight for championship trophies one after another …
That kind of scene, just thinking about it made people excited, made their blood boil!
Why did he have to choose another path?
She could understand Liu Zhiyuan's choice, but she couldn't really agree with it.
Just as Shirō Makino had said, she was indeed touched. For a competition of this scale, the excitement and excitement in everyone's heart when they won was difficult to express with words.
And at this time, what they hoped the most was to be able to stand together with the person they liked.
But at that time, that person was standing in the interview area, talking and laughing in front of a large number of cameras with a calm expression on his face.
This was not a scene that she wanted to see.
Shirō Makino glanced at everyone, then said to Shan Gu and Si Yin, "Come, let's go for a walk."
Shan Gu and Si Yin nodded.
Shirō Makino then said to Liu Zhiyuan and Ji Chae Yi, "I'll give you an hour … is that enough?"
Shan Gu said, "Isn't that too long? Can Liu do it? "
Bam!
Shirō Makino casually hit him, "You talk too much!"
Shan Gu rubbed his head and grumbled, "You messed up my hairstyle!"
Si Yin could empathize with him. Messing up someone else's hairstyle was the worst!
Shirō Makino glanced at her.
Si Yin jumped behind Shan Gu and looked at Shirō Makino with a vigilant expression.
Ji Chae Yi couldn't help but burst into laughter, a pear blossom in the rain.
Liu Zhiyuan glared at Shan Gu, "Hurry up and get lost!"
Shan Gu: "…"
After going out, Shan Gu was still grumbling, "Brother Bai, is this necessary? It's not like there's anything wrong with them … "
Si Yin didn't feel much about these things. Although she was already 16 years old, she was still like a cute little girl.
She had been too protected since she was young. Although she was aware of these things, most of the time she was ignorant and confused.
"I don't know much about relationships." Shirō Makino shook his head and said, "But I know that there must be some differences between them. There are some things that don't show in front of us, but it doesn't mean that they don't exist."
Shan Gu scratched his head and sighed, "Relationships are really complicated! I've decided to be single! "
Si Yin glanced at him and whispered, "You can't find him, can you?"
Shan Gu glanced at Si Yin's hair.
Si Yin quickly ran away and even made a face at Shan Gu. Little sixth-level warrior, you can't catch up to me!
Pfft pfft pfft.
Shan Gu: "…"
The three of them went down the elevator to the first floor and looked at the people coming and going outside. They looked at each other.
"Brother Bai, why don't we go shopping at the talisman supplies store? There must be more talisman materials in a big city like Baiyue, right? "Si Yin suggested.
She looked at Shirō Makino with her big bright eyes.
"You want to go shopping yourself, don't you?" Shan Gu asked.
Si Yin rolled her eyes at him. "Are you going or not?"
"Yes, of course!" Shan Gu laughed and said, "I'll call a taxi!"
In Shirō Makino's suite.
Ji Chae Yi and Liu Zhiyuan sat on the sofa in silence.
After a long time, Ji Chae Yi said softly, "You can fool them, but you can't fool me. You're obviously talented …"
"Since I was very young, I knew that my mother was not happy." Liu Zhiyuan seemed to be giving an irrelevant answer. He sat there and said softly, "She and my father are in love."
"But she's not happy. All these years, although she always maintained the kind and smile of a mother in front of me, she often cried in private. I've seen it many times. When I asked her what was wrong, she would always find all kinds of reasons to avoid me … "
"Later, when I gradually grew up, I began to understand the reason why she was unhappy. My father was looked down upon by my maternal grandfather's family. They felt that he was not worthy of my mother."
Liu Zhiyuan revealed a bitter smile. "At that time, I was naive enough to think that it was enough for our family to be happy together. Why should we care about what others think? If they don't like it, who are they? In the beginning, my mother never refuted my point of view. Until she realized that the two of us seemed to have that kind of relationship. Hence, from then on, she began to hope that I could be outstanding! "
Ji Chae Yi looked at him. "Is becoming a powerful warrior not considered outstanding?"
Liu Zhiyuan shook his head gently. "In my maternal grandfather's family, there are more than a dozen Spiritual Warriors at the Grandmaster level. There are also two Grandmaster level experts. However, those people are not in important positions. That is to say, their positions in my maternal grandfather's family are not the highest. Just like the Song Family behind your mother, the one with the strongest combat power is definitely not the one with the highest position. "
"Position … is it really that important?" Ji Chae Yi looked at Liu Zhiyuan with some disappointment. "I understand what you're thinking. I also understand what you're saying. I won't act like an ignorant little girl and say that I don't care about this. As long as there are feelings, it's enough … I won't do that. However, what I want to say is that a powerful Spiritual Warrior, even if he doesn't have a high position, he must be respected by others! "
She looked at Liu Zhiyuan sincerely. "Now, we have Xiao Bai. You know Xiao Bai's real strength … In my opinion, no Senior Talisman Artist can be his opponent."
Liu Zhiyuan nodded.
"Therefore, he can definitely lead us all the way to the finals of the Flying Immortals League. Even in the future, entering the finals of the Empire League won't be a dream! You are the Team Leader of the team. Whether you are on the field or not, that is a completely different concept. Do you understand? "
Liu Zhiyuan nodded again. "I understand. It's because of this that I've made this choice."
"You can make use of Xiao Bai's strength and the team's achievements to increase your personal influence, right?" Ji Chae Yi asked softly.
Liu Zhiyuan was silent for a moment before nodding. "That is my selfishness."
"It can't be changed, right?" Ji Chae Yi looked at him.
"I promised my mother that I will take that path. Besides, I … also want to take that path. " Liu Zhiyuan whispered. "I don't want what happened to my mother to happen to us in the future."
Ji Chae Yi smiled. "That kind of thing will not happen to us! My mother hopes that I will marry an outstanding person in the future. However, she respects my wishes. There are some things that you don't know … "
Ji Chae Yi hesitated for a moment before shaking her head. "Forget it. Let's not talk about this …"
"Chae Yi, if I only take the path of a Spirit Warrior, this kind of thing will definitely happen to us in the future." Liu Zhiyuan looked at Ji Chae Yi. "I know this better than you!"
"Alright, I can't persuade you." Ji Chae Yi leaned back on the sofa and sighed softly.
Liu Zhiyuan stood up and sat beside Ji Chae Yi. He reached out with one hand and gently placed it on Ji Chae Yi's shoulder. He said softly, "Chae Yi, I really like you. One day, you will understand why I am doing this. You are still very young now. You don't need to bear all this with me. You just need to be yourself, okay? "
Ji Chae Yi gently leaned her head on Liu Zhiyuan's shoulder and said softly, "You should know Xiao Bai's plans for the future, right?"
"I know." Liu Zhiyuan nodded.
"He wants to bring us to the University of Flying," Ji Chae Yi said. "What about you? Will you choose to go to the University of Flying? "
Liu Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment before shaking his head. "No, I only have one goal, and that is The First Academy."
Ji Chae Yi said, "So …"
Liu Zhiyuan said, "So, if two people love each other for a long time, why would they stay together day and night?"
Ji Chae Yi smiled helplessly. She chose a more comfortable position to lean on Liu Zhiyuan's shoulder and slowly closed her eyes.
"I'm tired. Let me lean on you and sleep for a while."
"Okay, we can sleep until the end of time."
Baiyue City's largest talisman supply store.
Shan Gu walked in front, looking around like a country bumpkin entering the city.
"Wow, Brother Bai, Brother Bai, look, it's a golden-winged eagle's feather pen!"
"Oh my … there's even the skin of a Grandmaster-level beast here. Damn, 350 million yuan? Is this used to make talisman paper? Grandmaster-level … "
Shan Gu wanted to say, Didn't we kill it before? Why is it so valuable?
But in this place, he still stopped showing off.
"Uh, this … one billion yuan? Are you sure you didn't write an extra zero? "Shan Gu stared at the bottle of unknown blood in shock.
Shirō Makino looked at Shan Gu helplessly. "Those are all high-grade talisman materials. They're almost the best. Don't be so surprised. We can't afford it anyway …"
Shan Gu rolled his eyes. We really can't afford it. But Brother Bai … you're too humble.
Si Yin followed quietly beside Shirō Makino and asked softly, "Brother Bai, aren't you going to buy some?"
"Yes, I'll take a look first." Shirō Makino nodded.
The talisman supply store in a first-tier main city was an eye-opener. Many materials that couldn't be bought in the past could be found here.
Ordinary materials, elemental materials, rare materials … it had everything.
Good talisman materials were extremely expensive, but to a true Talisman Master, there was only need and not need in his eyes. As for the price?
He was thinking …
What was that?
Who cared?
Just like one of the treasures of the store — —
A piece of Grandmaster level beast skin, fire elemental. It could bear the weight of a Grandmaster or even a God level talisman!
It was an absolute top-grade talisman material!
Shirō Makino was very envious, but he didn't even ask about the price.
Because he didn't need it for the time being.
There were also many expensive talisman papers, because they could bear the weight of a Grandmaster level talisman.
However, the current Xiao Bai didn't need these materials either.
The high-level talisman papers he used before could only bear the weight of a high-level Talisman Artist's spiritual force.
Therefore, although the talisman he drew was known as a Grandmaster level, the power contained within it was only at the high-level level.
Because if it was any higher, the talisman paper wouldn't be able to bear it!
It was the same even in the Black Domain.
His meager amount of Black Domain coins wasn't enough to buy real Grandmaster level materials.
Apart from the time in the Giant City's trial field, where all the materials were provided for free, Shirō Makino was able to draw some real Grandmaster level talismans.
However, it wasn't very practical.
Because it consumed too much spiritual force!
In reality, if he wanted to make a Grandmaster level talisman, he needed materials.
With the money he had on him now, he could buy some Grandmaster level talisman materials.
However, it was too easy to attract the attention of others!
Previously in Hundred Flowers City, the video that circulated almost made many people think that he was a high-level Talisman Artist.
Fortunately, apart from Zhu Da's question, there weren't many things in the video that could really show his strength.
Moreover, things like talismans could also be bought, for example, they were sold here.
Therefore, even if there were people who suspected him, there was no actual evidence.
However, if he were to directly buy Grandmaster and high-level talisman materials today … Once he was noticed, it would definitely attract more suspicious gazes in the future.
If you can't even use it, what's the point of buying it?
To stock up?
I've never seen anyone do that.
Therefore, Shirō Makino just followed the rules and chose some materials that could only bear the weight of a high-level talisman. He didn't show off at all.
The key was that it was practical. Beginner low-grade talismans could still be used to fight Grandmasters. The materials he bought now were much better than the previous batch.
Just like that, he directly spent a few hundred million.
This way of spending money was really a little scary.
However, it didn't attract much attention. Everyone who came here to spend money was about the same.
Even the Intermediate Talisman Artist would try his best to buy the best talisman paper.
After all, the better the materials, the easier it was to make a high-quality talisman.
After paying the bill, when he left, he happened to come face to face with a group of people.
Shirō Makino led Shan Gu and Si Yin to the side, intending to give way to the other party.
Unexpectedly, a rather handsome young man suddenly blocked in front of Shirō Makino and looked him up and down. "You're that One Second Brother?"
One Second Brother?
How long ago was that?
It's already been three seconds, right?
Shan Gu frowned and retorted, "Who are you?"
"Hehe, a young man pretending to be old, with gray hair. You're the chatterbox Shan Gu, right?" The young man said and looked at Si Yin. "You're that timid girl, Si Yin? But you did well in today's match! "
Shan Gu looked at him. "Are you our fan?"
"No, no, no. You're mistaken. I'm just studying our next opponent in advance." The young man said and looked at Shirō Makino again. "I've seen your latest video. You're quite powerful. Even Sensei isn't your match. I think the talisman you used … is of a high level, right? How much did you spend on it? "
The young man's words were full of sarcasm.
Buy?
Shirō Makino just smiled and looked at him. "Excuse me, I'm going out."
There was nothing to say to such a self-righteous fellow. The best way was to defeat him in the arena.
If you think the talisman I used is a finished product, then I'll treat it as a finished product.
That's for the best. It saves me a lot of trouble!
However, to buy a talisman for a Talisman Artist … not only would the cost be doubled, but it would also be very cheap.
Most importantly, it might not be suitable.
Just like the other treasure of this shop — a Zhang Zongshi -level Myriad Sword Talisman!
Although it was called Myriad Sword Talisman, it definitely didn't have that many. At most, it could transform into a hundred and eighty swords. But that was already very impressive.
Imagine, after this talisman was activated, there would be a rain of swords in the sky, stabbing down crazily.
How many people could block this kind of Grandmaster-level talisman technique attack?
It was a pity that activating such a talisman required a terrifying amount of mental power.
For example, Shirō Makino's over 40 points of mental power was probably not enough to activate it.
To activate an attack-type Grandmaster-level talisman, one would need at least 50 points of mental power.
However, to activate a high-level talisman, the mental power required wasn't that terrifying. A dozen points of mental power was enough to activate it once.
The problem was that after activation, one would need to control the talisman … The higher the level of the talisman, the more mental power it would consume to control it.
Take the Zhang Zongshi -level Myriad Sword Talisman for example. If a person with over 100 points of mental power chose to activate it, their mental power would be completely drained within two seconds!
Even a real Grandmaster-level Talisman Artist wouldn't use that kind of talisman easily.
Therefore, it wasn't that a beginner or intermediate Talisman Artist couldn't use a high-level talisman. The problem was that the price was a little high.
Even if it could replenish their mental power, most people wouldn't choose to do so unless they had no other choice.
A really smart Talisman Artist would choose different talismans according to the situation.
In general, they preferred to use the talisman that consumed the least amount of energy in exchange for the greatest result.
Shan Gu looked at the other party coldly. It seemed like he would start a fight if he didn't agree.
It turned out that he was the opponent of the next round, the team that Liu hadn't finished introducing.
It was really a small world of enemies. It wasn't a coincidence.
This was the largest talisman supply store in Baiyue City. In the opponent's team, there was an intermediate Talisman Artist with a mental power of 137. It was normal for him to take advantage of the break in the competition to shop.
The opponent's Talisman Artist should be this guy who was a little handsome, but far less handsome than Brother Bai, right?
He must be jealous of Brother Bai's great looks!
A piece of trash!
When Brother Bai really unlocks the seal, he'll scare you to death!
Even if he doesn't, you're no match for Brother Bai at all.
"If you don't like us, let's meet in the arena. A good dog doesn't block the way, get out of the way!" Shan Gu scolded coldly.
"You …" The handsome young man raised his eyebrows, but he was pulled away by a tall man next to him.
The man smiled and said, "He's right. If you're so good, let's meet in the arena."
As he spoke, he made way for Shirō Makino and the others.
Shirō Makino nodded slightly at the man and went straight out.
After they left, the handsome young man sneered and said, "What the hell? Beating up a teacher in class, relying on the money he has, buying a bunch of finished high-level talismans to show off. F * ck … in two days, I'll show him his true colors! "
The tall man put his arm around his shoulder and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's buy a few finished high-level talismans in case we need them."
The handsome young man: "…"
Back at the hotel.
Shirō Makino opened the door and saw Ji Chae Yi sleeping soundly on Liu Zhiyuan's shoulder.
Hearing the door open, she opened her eyes and looked, her face slightly red.
Shan Gu said carelessly, "You didn't do anything?"
Ji Chae Yi glared at Shan Gu fiercely.
Si Yin whispered, "This is Brother Bai's room, right?"
Ji Chae Yi instantly exploded. She unleashed all her assassin skills and rushed over to rub Si Yin's head with all her might.
"Si Xiaoyin, haven't you always been in a daze? Why do you suddenly understand now? "
Si Yin struggled to break free from Ji Chae Yi's clutches. She tidied her hair and said with a wronged expression, "Did I say something wrong?"
Liu Zhiyuan smiled and said generously, "You're back? Let's continue! "
Shan Gu sat down on the armchair and leaned back. He said, "We just met our next opponent. F * ck, the opponent's Talisman Artist is quite arrogant!"
"Oh? You met them? What a coincidence! "Liu Zhiyuan was a little surprised. He then said," You went to the talisman supply store, right? "
Shirō Makino nodded. "Yes, many teams with Talisman Artist's team also went there."
"Well, it's not strange to meet them there. I was just about to tell you that the opponent's Intermediate Talisman Artist is very good at auxiliary talisman techniques, especially talisman manipulation. He can be said to be an expert. "
"Is he as good as Brother Bai?" Shan Gu asked.
"You'll know when you watch the video." Liu Zhiyuan said and directly played a video.
In the video, the opponent's Talisman Artist was controlling five to six talismans at the same time, shooting them at different people around him. The flying trajectory of the talismans and the precision of his control were quite outstanding.
This Talisman Artist was indeed the handsome young man who picked a fight at the talisman supply store.
According to the information, he was nineteen years old, a senior in high school.
"Damn, he's older than us, and he's still pretending to be young!" Shan Gu said mockingly.
Their team came from a small third-level city called Yuanshan.
"Previously, I remember telling you that, according to the publicly available information, among the high school students in the Fairy Realm, there are thirty-seven who have a mental strength of more than 100. Of course, I believe the actual number is definitely higher than that. However, this person called He Tianyu was able to become one of the thirty-seven on the surface, which is enough to prove his excellence. "
Liu Zhiyuan looked at Shirō Makino and said, "So, in this match, if you continue to face them with a mental strength of 49, I'm afraid it won't be easy, unless you control them right from the start."
"Then control them right from the start. So what if it's exposed? It's not like there's no video before. The amazing thing about Brother Bai is that even though they clearly know what Brother Bai is good at, they can't avoid it. Hahaha, "Shan Gu said excitedly.
However, as he laughed, he realized that no one was laughing, so his smile slowly disappeared. He said awkwardly, "Leader, please continue."
"Also, their level eight Spiritual Warrior with a spiritual strength of 262 is a strong shield warrior."
"The other two level seven people are both archers!"
"Their long-range attacks are quite strong, especially in a place like the canyon where it's easy to set up an ambush. Their power will be amplified!"
Speaking up to this point, Liu Zhiyuan looked at Shan Gu and said, "This isn't an arena. Their opponents are scattered and hiding. How can you control them right from the start?"
Shan Gu rolled his eyes and muttered softly, "Didn't you say we should control them right from the start …"
Liu ignored him and continued his analysis.
"This third-year team from Yuanshan is also one of the hot favorites to win this division. So, even though they come from a third-level city, their abilities are not to be underestimated. "
"Now, let's analyze each of their strengths and what formation and method we should use …"
Ji Chae Yi sat there in silence, quietly looking at Liu Zhiyuan who had a serious expression on his face.
A man was the most handsome when he was serious!
So, even though she still didn't quite agree with Liu Zhiyuan's choice, at this moment, she could only express her respect and support.
Just like last night, when she talked to her mother about this matter.
Song Xingyu said, "There are many uncertainties in the world of adults. If you want to be with someone, especially a child from a family like ours, you might have to face even more problems in the future. If you can't mature and take the initiative to overcome these difficulties, then … this is destined to be a … first love that will never come to an end. "
So, when she saw Liu Zhiyuan speaking frankly like a mature politician in front of the camera, she instantly broke down.
Because this was not the direction she wanted to work hard in!
But after calming down, she also understood that the reason why Liu Zhiyuan made this choice was because he wanted to be with her.
Looking at Liu Zhiyuan who was analyzing seriously, Ji Chae Yi suddenly felt that if things continued like this, maybe … it would be good?
