However, Zhou Wen didn't feel discouraged. Instead, he felt that this might be an opportunity.
With this Guardian around, it was equivalent to him having a spatial expert as a sparring partner. Perhaps he might have a chance to improve Lost Country further.
Zhou Wen dripped his blood to revive and entered the game to challenge the Guardian again. However, he naturally suffered a crushing defeat. However, Zhou Wen also felt the influence of the other party's spatial powers on him.
Through watching and personally experiencing the various spatial skills of the Guardian, Zhou Wen gained a lot more insight into spatial skills. No matter how much he learned in the past, it was all theoretical knowledge. It was very rare for him to experience it personally.
As Zhou Wen died again and again, Xia Liuchuan came to the East Courtyard again and told him about the battle at the peak of Forbidden City.
"You should know that Forbidden City is a forbidden land of our Xia family. Outsiders are not allowed to enter," Old Master Xia said.
"I know, but I also hope to fight him there." Xia Liuchuan didn't explain further.
"In that case, it's decided. However, this time, you are only allowed to win. No matter what, Zhou Wen can't leave Forbidden City again," Old Master Xia said indifferently.
Xia Liuchuan didn't say a word and only bowed slightly.
"Let's set the time to four days later. There are still some problems in Forbidden City that need to be dealt with first. You should return and prepare well," Old Master Xia said.
Zhou Wen was grinding when he suddenly heard his phone ring. It was a call from Wang Lu.
"Did you really agree to duel Xia Liuchuan?" Just as Zhou Wen picked up the call, Wang Lu's voice sounded.
"Yes," Zhou Wen answered.
"Are you going to duel with the Xia family in the Imperial Capital, and it's in the Forbidden City controlled by the Xia family? Did you ignore what Grandma told you?" Wang Lu said anxiously.
"Don't worry. I have my own plans. Nothing will happen … Let's talk about it later. There's a call coming in. I'll answer it first …" As Zhou Wen spoke, he picked up another call. It was from Ouyang Lan.
"Little Wen, did you really agree to duel Xia Liuchuan in Forbidden City? Don't be afraid. If you're forced by the Xia family, I'll help you, "Ouyang Lan said.
"Sis Lan, the Xia family didn't force me. I did it willingly. Don't worry. I can handle it." Zhou Wen was indeed touched when he heard Ouyang Lan's words.
Although they weren't related by blood, Ouyang Lan did pay close attention to him.
"Little Wen, you're your dad's only son. We won't have another in the future. You have to think thrice before you do anything. Don't risk your life. If there's anything, tell Sis Lan. Sis Lan will help you resolve it." Ouyang Lan didn't quite believe Zhou Wen's words and was still very worried.
"Sis Lan, you really don't have to worry. It's not convenient to say too much over the phone, but I have the ability to protect myself. Nothing will happen." Zhou Wen was afraid that the call would be monitored, so he didn't dare tell Ouyang Lan that he had the Invisibility Cloak.
Ouyang Lan exhorted Zhou Wen a little more before his phone rang again. He had no choice but to end the call.
This time, it was An Sheng's call. An Sheng clearly knew that Zhou Wen was going to duel Xia Liuchuan, but he didn't persuade Zhou Wen not to duel.
"I'm already on my way to the Imperial Capital. Is there anything I need to do in advance?" An Sheng asked simply.
"Don't come. I'll leave the Imperial Capital soon," Zhou Wen hurriedly said.
"I'll meet you outside the Imperial Capital," An Sheng said.
"Don't do it near the Imperial Capital. Let's meet somewhere far away." Zhou Wen knew that he couldn't stop An Sheng.
"Alright, I'll think of a way to inform you when the time comes." An Sheng hung up after saying that.
This news quickly spread in the Imperial Capital, but not many people outside knew about it. Anyone who knew about it felt that Zhou Wen was courting death.
Ignoring the fact that Xia Liuchuan was a rare genius of the Xia family, just the fact that he was fighting a member of the Xia family in their territory made people not think highly of Zhou Wen.
Dugu Ge and Zhang Chunqiu were in the Imperial Capital, so they naturally heard the news.
"This battle is a good opportunity to see how much that Guardian can increase Scumbag's strength," Zhang Chunqiu said with a smile.
"From the looks of it, your divination wasn't accurate at all. You actually let Xia Liuchuan obtain the Guardian," Dugu Ge said.
Zhang Chunqiu smiled and said, "Destiny is unpredictable. Don't take my divination seriously. I'm just spouting nonsense."
"Then do another random divination. Who will win this time, Zhou Wen or Scumbag?" Dugu Ge said.
"According to my divination, the Xia family definitely won't lose," Zhang Chunqiu said.
Dugu Ge glanced at Zhang Chunqiu in disdain and returned to his room.
Zhou Wen had already received Xia Liuchuan's notice that there would be a battle in Forbidden City in four days. However, only Zhou Wen was allowed to enter.
Zhou Wen had no choice but to contact Wang Lu, hoping to leave the antelope and chick with her.
"You hung up so quickly just now, and now you're thinking of me?" Wang Lu said angrily.
"My stepmother called just now. Do you think I can ignore it?" Zhou Wen explained.
"Zhou Wen, you know about the Xia family. You really shouldn't have fought Xia Liuchuan. Xia Liuchuan might not be famous, and he's not as famous as John, Lance, and the rest of the younger generation, but this person is definitely much more terrifying than Lance. He's someone who has truly survived countless deaths. He's different from those elites who are still in a greenhouse. "
Wang Lu continued, "Although Xia Liuchuan is known as the most foppish young master of the Xia family, his talent isn't inferior to An Tianzuo's. My grandmother saw him when he was six years old. Back then, Old Master Xia took him to the Ancient Sword Tomb to play. At that time, a Mythical sword happened to be born. The six-year-old Xia Liuchuan saw the battle between the Mythical sword and humans and actually comprehended the Mythical sword's sword technique. His talent in combat is terrifying. "
"If he's not strong, it would be meaningless," Zhou Wen said with a smile. He just didn't want Wang Lu to worry too much.
"If it were anywhere else, it wouldn't be a big deal for you to fight Xia Liuchuan, but that's Forbidden City. How can you fight Xia Liuchuan there? Even if you win, it'll be very difficult for you to walk out, "Wang Lu said with a sigh.
"Don't worry. If I, Zhou Wen, want to leave, no one in the Federation can stop me," Zhou Wen said firmly.
Wang Lu knew that it was too late to say anything. Zhou Wen had already accepted the challenge, so it was too late to regret.
Four days quickly passed. The Xia family took the initiative to send a car to pick Zhou Wen up to Forbidden City, but Zhou Wen rejected them. He carried the log and walked towards Forbidden City.
It wasn't that he didn't want to take the car, but that the car couldn't fit the log.
