Xu Miantu didn't dare make the decision himself as he cast his gaze at Zhou Wen, his eyes filled with encouragement.
Zhou Wen smiled bitterly inwardly. Xu Miantu thought too highly of him. He didn't have the ability to slay the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus, so all he could do was shake his head at Xu Miantu.
Xu Miantu was extremely confident in Zhou Wen, believing that he was being humble. He continued encouraging him. "Brother Wen, you can't be too humble in a place like Sunset College. You have to showcase your absolute strength. Only then will you have a chance of obtaining more resources."
Zhou Wen felt a little depressed. He did wish to slay the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus, but he really couldn't do it.
Upon seeing Zhou Wen's troubled look, Yang Lie sneered. "To showcase your strength, you need to have the strength to do so. Otherwise, it'll be a joke."
With that said, Yang Lie ignored Xu Miantu and turned to walk towards An Jing.
From Yang Lie's point of view, he would only be embarrassing himself if he continued tangling with people like Xu Miantu, Li Xuan, and Zhou Wen.
Although Xu Miantu was a little infuriated, there was nothing he could do since Zhou Wen didn't say a word. All he could do was watch the contemptuous Yang Lie turn to leave.
Yang Lie came in front of An Jing and said in a gentlemanly manner, "I lost the bet. If there's anything you need me to do, I'll definitely do my best. However, there's something I don't understand. Why do you know that the Silver-Eyed Golden-Feathered Eagle isn't the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus's match? Could it be that you have already fought the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus? "
"First, I said that there was no meaning to the bet. There's no need for you to do anything. What you can do, I can do it myself. What I can't do, you can't do it either. Second, a person who truly understands doesn't need to fight to know who's stronger. "An Jing wore a calm expression, but every word she said was venomous.
Zhou Wen suspected that with An Jing's venomous personality, many people would probably want to beat her up if she wasn't born into the An family.
Yang Lie's expression was indeed ugly, alternating between livid and pale. After all, he was a student who wasn't even in his twenties. He lacked restraint and thick skin.
"Well said." Xu Miantu seized the opportunity and naturally wouldn't let it go. He cheered loudly, but was met with a fierce glare from Yang Lie.
An Jing ignored him and rode past Yang Lie on the white horse, heading for Zhou Wen.
"Your sister is coming over," Li Xuan whispered as he nudged Zhou Wen with his elbow.
Zhou Wen shook his head, indicating for Li Xuan not to speak nonsense. However, before he could say a word, An Jing had already arrived in front of him on a white horse.
When Yang Lie and the other students saw An Jing in front of Zhou Wen, they cast their gazes over, unsure what she wanted.
"Are you confident of killing the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus?" An Jing stared into his eyes and asked.
"There's definitely no problem. An Jing, cooperate with us to slay the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus. Brother Wen guarantees you that you won't be disappointed." Xu Miantu didn't know of An Jing's relationship with Zhou Wen, so he imagined that An Jing was interested in him. If Zhou Wen performed well, he might be able to win her heart.
Furthermore, this beauty's family background was extraordinary. She was the daughter of Luoyang's An family. In Luoyang, she was like a princess.
"Right, Brother Wen?" Xu Miantu nudged Zhou Wen and signaled to him with his eyes behind An Jing's back, hinting for him to perform well.
Although Zhou Wen knew that Xu Miantu had good intentions, he really couldn't do it. Furthermore, he only wished to game in peace. He had no intention of being in the limelight here, nor did he wish to have any entanglements with An Jing.
"You sure are daring. If An Jing wanted to slay the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus, what would you have to do with her?" Yang Lie already hated Xu Miantu to begin with, so he couldn't help but mock him. He vented all the anger he had suffered at An Jing's hands on Xu Miantu. "A dog is a dog, forever relying on its master's influence. However, you should at least see clearly if that's your master."
The moment Yang Lie said that, it wasn't only Xu Miantu. Li Xuan and Zhou Wen's expressions changed as well.
Li Xuan said coldly, "Yang Lie, who are you calling a dog? Say it again if you have the guts. "
Yang Lie sneered. "Who in Luoyang City doesn't know that your patriarch likes to raise godson? To put it nicely, he's a godson, but to put it bluntly, he's a lackey raised by your Li family. This is common knowledge. What did I say wrong?"
Li Xuan's eyes turned cold. Just as he was about to take action, he was held back by Xu Miantu. Xu Miantu wasn't angry as he looked at Yang Lie and said with a chuckle, "That's right. I'm a dog of the Li family. Furthermore, I'm proud to be a dog of the Li family. I also enjoy the Li family's favor, unlike a certain person who wishes to be the An family's dog. Unfortunately, the An family can't even be bothered to look at him. There's no point mentioning someone who's inferior to a dog. "
Xu Miantu's words hit Yang Lie's sore spot. The Yang family did wish to rely on the An family, but the An family's attitude was somewhat ambiguous. They had never truly accepted the Yang family.
Therefore, Yang Lie's expression changed drastically when he heard that. His gloomy face nearly froze as he stared intently at Xu Miantu, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
"Does the Li family's dog only know how to bark? If you're that capable, slay the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus as you said. Otherwise, don't bark here, "Yang Lie said with a cold expression. Yang Lie said with a cold expression. If not for everyone watching, he wished he could immediately kill Xu Miantu.
Xu Miantu was just about to retort when he felt a hand press down on his shoulder. Then, he heard Zhou Wen say softly, "If you want to kill the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus, let's do it together."
"Brother Wen, can I really do it?" Xu Miantu was overjoyed as he hurriedly asked.
Zhou Wen nodded slightly and said seriously, "As long as you aren't afraid of sacrificing your Companion Beast."
Xu Miantu had gotten into a conflict with Yang Lie because of Zhou Wen, so Zhou Wen naturally couldn't sit back and watch Xu Miantu be humiliated by Yang Lie. However, it wasn't a spur of the moment decision to kill the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus.
It was true that Zhou Wen couldn't kill the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus in-game, but this wasn't the game. He didn't need to face the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus alone. He still had Xu Miantu and Li Xuan to help him.
Zhou Wen had carefully considered the Companion Beasts he, Li Xuan, and Xu Miantu had. If he did it well and didn't make any mistakes, with his understanding of the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus, he should be able to slay it.
"There's nothing to be afraid of. Let's do it." Xu Miantu turned to Yang Lie and said loudly, "Did you hear that, Yang? We'll slay it for you to see. Open your eyes wide and learn well. Don't say that we didn't teach you."
"I'll be waiting." Yang Lie sneered.
