Chapter 154 (Optimized)

"What’s the big cause?"

Xu Dalong still didn’t know what was waiting for him, what was going to happen.

"You’re going to the ‘Little Dragon War’."

"Little Dragon War?!"

Xu Dalong was shocked, he looked at me incredulously and asked with a trembling voice:

"The ‘Little Dragon War’ you’re talking about, it can’t be the ‘Little Dragon War’ that I know of, can it?"

"What do you know of the ‘Little Dragon War’?"

"It’s the one organized by the Evil Demon Alliance, the martial arts conference for the young experts of the righteous path! The Evil Devil Dao Alliance and the experts of the righteous path will all gather together, and those of us in the Devil Sect, not to mention competing, even watching the battle, are all very dangerous! You’re not talking about this ‘Little Dragon War’, right?"

"You’re talking about, like, this ‘Little Dragon War’."

Xu Dalong looked at me blankly and suddenly stood up and rushed out of the inn without looking back.

I didn’t go after him, I just called the waiter and ordered some wine and food. I had been in seclusion and cultivation in the mountains for a month, and it had been a long time since I drank.

I’ve had two glasses of wine. Xu DaLong, back again.

"Why don’t you go after me?"

"Why are you chasing after me? You’ll be back anyway."

Xu Dalong poured himself a glass of wine and drank it down.

"No, absolutely not! What the hell were you thinking?"

"You’re the only one who’s up to it."

"’Only you are competent’, that’s what those black-hearted bosses say when they squeeze their employees! Who says I’m the only one who can do it? As long as you’re willing to put in the effort to look, you’re sure to find someone else! Maybe there’s a suitable candidate in this inn!"

Xu Dalong looked around, then sighed helplessly, there was no one normal around me, except for him.

"No, just no!"

Xu Dalong, took another drink.

"Do you know what kind of person I am?"

"Of course I know, you’re a man who chases power and is cold, but obsessively dedicated. When, at first, everyone kept silent ……"

"Stop it!"

I skipped right over the corny descriptions and added:

"…… Although you ultimately did not have the courage, to challenge Lu Bin, you are still my right hand man, Investigator Xu. Now, you’re going to bravely participate in the ‘Little Dragon Battle’ again."

"No way, even if you talk the talk, I won’t go to the ‘Little Dragon Battle’!"

"Should I be allowed to go?"

"With your current disguise, it’s so seamless that no one can recognize you!"

"Didn’t you say that my disguise was clumsy? Didn’t you say, my beard is dirty?"

Xu Dalong sighed and suddenly had an idea and lowered his voice:

"I haven’t fully learned Shifu’s martial arts."

"That’s even better, you can’t be too conspicuous, you’ll just have to use the basics, for the game."

With Xu Dalong’s strength, it was as easy as a slap in the face to hide his demonic aura, so he didn’t have to worry about revealing his identity because of his martial arts path.

Xu Dalong lowered his head and was silent, so I could only make a killer move.

"Well, since you don’t want to go, then forget it. I can only accept the failure of my master’s test, and then, the one who will inherit the position of Sect Leader will be my elder brother. I, for one, should be assassinated and then thrown into the wilderness to become food for wild beasts. However, I won’t blame you, really."

"I, supposedly, would have been stabbed to death on the martial arts stage by a disciple of the righteous path, whom I had never met, with a sword. Then, my corpse, will be sent to the sect that the Tongtian Pavilion forged, and they will say: who is this person? We don’t know him, he’s just a pawn we’re using. What a pity. He was so short and gloomy, and died so tragically. Hurry up and bury him. But I won’t blame you, really."

"One day, you’ll become a Sect Leader, and you’ll think about today, and you’ll say, If it wasn’t for Xu Da Long, I wouldn’t have been able to become a Sect Leader. Thank you."

"Someday, I’ll hold my grandson and tell him a story, and I’ll say: back in the day, I insisted on not going to that tournament, and that’s why you guys are here."

It was a battle of spears and shields, but the outcome, long ago, was predetermined.

"Alright, alright, is it still okay for me to go? Who made me, in the first place, want to avenge my senior brother, and who made me, in the first place, want to learn sword techniques?"

I poured a glass of wine for Xu DaLong.

"Thanks."

"You’re welcome, that’s life, there’s always something you don’t like to do."

"Anyone who says something like that must be someone who wants to do whatever they want."

"Nope! That’s something that should have been said by me!"

I know it’s a tough decision for Xu Da Lung. He hates to show his face.

"This is also a rare experience for your martial cultivation. You see, ‘Little Dragon Battle’, Xu Da Long, this name, when you hear it, is the will of heaven! You are destined to soar to the heavens at the ‘Little Dragon Battle’! If the name of the competition was ‘Little Tiger Battle’, I’d let Zhang Hao go."

Hearing my joke, Xu Dalong, finally couldn’t help but laugh.

"So, this is your successor trial?"

"Exactly."

"Specifically, what are we going to do?"

"There’s a man called the President of the Divine Order Society, and he’s going to be doing some scheming and scheming at this tournament. He might contact the contestants, so, you’ll have to go to the contest. Our goal, is to catch him."

"No problem, catching bad guys, it’s my job."

"Not bad for my right hand man."

Once Xu Da Long makes up his mind, he won’t hesitate. I like him because of this character. Although he looks short and gloomy, he has a tough heart.

I took a document out of my arms and handed it to him.

"This is your new identity and you must memorize this information, all of it. I trust your memory."

"What about you?"

"I will disguise myself as your servant, or escort."

In Xu Dalong’s eyes, a trace of joy flashed, but he quickly, controlled his expression.

"You seem happy?"

"Me? No."

"You just laughed."

"You’re looking at it wrong."

"You just laughed."

"You brat, how dare you talk back to Master? Ah, I was practicing my lines just now."

I was amused by Xu Da Long’s mischievousness.

"Today, you’ll write down this information, and tomorrow, we’ll enroll."

We got a large room with two beds.

Just as I entered the room, Xu Dalong wanted to help me make the bed, and I stopped him.

"Don’t mind me, just take care of yourself."

"How does that work?"

"I can order you around and change your life at will, what’s it worth if you make my bed? I don’t care if you pee on my bed."

"My life is about obeying your orders, so don’t be embarrassed. I’ve never felt that it was a bad thing, especially since I met you."

Thank you, for saying that.
