To be able to "enter through the back door" in the Spirit Battle Tournament, was something they had never heard of before.
Zhao Xun sipped his wine nonchalantly and said nonchalantly: "You think giving up on the tournament will mean that you are doomed? The Yan Country's Crown Prince's promise will save us a lot of trouble compared to all of us toiling ourselves to death in the tournament. Anyway, even if all of us take part in the Spirit Battle Tournament, we will not be able to get into the top ten and we are just here to seek for a better future. If we can really get the promise, so what if we give it up? "
The youths all turned to look at him. From Zhao Xun's words, they seemed to be able to detect that something was not quite right.
Zhao Xun acted like he had not said anything wrong and continued to say: "Do you still remember the banquet at the Crown Prince's Residence before the tournament? It was so extravagant and it was not a place people like us would have the chance to step foot in. An opportunity like this, I will not miss it. Giving up on this little tournament is no big deal ….."
Upon saying that, Zhao Xun's face lit up with a wide smile as he drank a few more cups.
The youths at the same table with Zhao Xun felt that those words did not sound right. They exchanged glances discreetly but did not dare to say anything in front of Zhao Xun.
"Alright! I still have to go back now. Burp! Do your best in tomorrow's tournament and I won't be joining in the fun. " Slightly tipsy, Zhao Xun stood up unsteadily and left the inn with a wave of his hand. His front foot had just stepped out when the youths immediately huddled together to whisper among themselves.
"Does Senior Zhao mean that the Crown Prince has approached him?"
"No wonder he dared to be so indulgent before the tournament. Looks like the rumours from before were true. The Crown Prince is really scheming to send that Jun Xie into the top ten ranks!"
"I see that Jun Xie is so skinny and small and doesn't look like he has any capabilities. Why would the Crown Prince choose him so highly?"
"Sigh, such a good Spirit Battle Tournament and it has been turned into such a disgusting mess by this scoundrel. It's really ….."
There was envy, regret, and speculation. Zhao Xun's few short sentences had set off a wave of speculation in the hearts of the youths.
Zhao Xun walked out from the inn unsteadily. He did not go straight back to his residence in the Hua Wan Academy but turned into a deserted alleyway. He had just stepped into the alleyway when the drunkenness on Zhao Xun's face faded. In the middle of the alleyway, a man dressed in black stood there, seemingly waiting for Zhao Xun to appear.
"Sir!" Zhao Xun saw the black-robed man and immediately bowed.
The man in black looked at Zhao Xun, who reeked of alcohol, and frowned. "How's it going?"
Zhao Xun was no longer as carefree as he had been in the restaurant. With a serious expression, he said, "I have already spread the news. I believe that before the competition starts tomorrow, the various academies will already know that I have accepted the Crown Prince's offer and have decided to give up on tomorrow's competition. “
The black robed man nodded his head in satisfaction. "Well done. Don't worry, as long as you do this well, what you will gain in the future will definitely be more than just a single Spirit Battle Tournament."
"Thank you for your favor. It's my honor to be able to work for you." There was a hint of joy in Zhao Xun's eyes. When the man in black came looking for him, he was still a little afraid. He didn't expect that it was a pie that fell from the sky.
"A wise man submits to circumstances. If you do things well, the benefits will naturally not run away from you. If you don't do it well … you will end up like the person who died earlier." The black-clothed man's voice suddenly became colder.
Zhao Xun shuddered. He swallowed his saliva and quickly nodded.
