Hearing that Li Kaifu wanted to hire him as a fighter, Wang Xiao sneered and prepared to refuse.

However, on second thought, he recalled that the Li family was extremely powerful. He rolled his eyes and asked, “What if I want [Breakthrough Stones]?”

Li Kaifu did not even think about it. “How many?”

Before Wang Xiao could say anything, Li Kaifu waved his hand. “Isn’t it just ten

[Breakthrough Stones]? No problem!”

The [Breakthrough Stone] was very rare for ordinary lords, but large families had their own channels. Although it was also expensive, it could still be solved with money. Therefore, Li Kaifu did not care very much.

However, Wang Xiao felt completely different. He originally thought that Yi Han was already stupid and rich enough. He did not expect to encounter another expert today!

However, just as Wang Xiao was about to agree, Zhou Xiruo suddenly shouted, “Wang Xiao! Come here for a moment!”

The two of them took a few steps to the side. Zhou Xiruo lowered her voice and asked, “Are you really planning to go? He’s treating you as a vassal lord! Even if it’s the internal assessment of the Nine Heavens Academy, what if word gets out?”

“So what?”

Wang Xiao shrugged indifferently. “It’s not embarrassing to earn money. That’s ten [Breakthrough Stones]!”

Zhou Xiruo was momentarily speechless. After a few seconds, she said, “But if you help him, what will happen to Yuheng Academy? Our internal assessment is about to begin.”

Wang Xiao chuckled. “I’ve asked around. The internal assessment of Yuheng

Academy is the day after tomorrow. There isn’t a conflict.” “…But we also need time to practice our cooperation!”

“We’ve been cooperating for months. What else is there to practice?”

“…What about the [Blazing Golden Crow]? Its breakthrough requires a lot of materials. The internal assessment is the day after tomorrow. We have to hurry up and gather the materials.”

“I’ve gathered all the materials needed for the breakthrough of the [Blazing Golden Crow]. I’m only short of a [Breakthrough Stone] now. I’ll get him to pay a deposit later and go back to break through tonight. Then, I can test it out tomorrow.”

Wang Xiao replied clearly. Then, he sized up Zhou Xiruo suspiciously. “You seem to be a little strange today. You usually listen to my arrangements. Why are you so eager to stop me today?”

“I… I, It’s not like that!”

Zhou Xiruo stammered as her eyes began to waver.

Seeing this, Wang Xiao knew that something must have happened. After all, he had known Zhou Xiruo for so long, and this was the first time he had seen her so flustered.

“Okay, it’s not, right?”

Wang Xiao chuckled and deliberately leaned in front of Zhou Xiruo. “Then I’ll agree to it? I’m actually going to do it, alright?”

Seeing Wang Xiao raise one leg and wave it around, Zhou Xiruo finally could not help but stomp her feet and say angrily, “Aiya! I’ll tell you, alright?!”

Wang Xiao did not say anything and only put on an attentive expression.

Zhou Xiruo hesitated for a while more before taking a deep breath as if she had made up her mind. “My fiancé is from the Nine Heavens Academy…”

‘What?!”

Wang Xiao exclaimed. If not for his eyelids, his eyes would probably have popped out!

“How old are you? What do you mean by fiancé? And why haven’t I heard you mention it before?”

Wang Xiao asked continuously. Although he was not a gossipy person, this matter really made him too curious.

“Lower your voice!”

Zhou Xiruo hurriedly patted Wang Xiao and looked at Li Kaifu in the distance. After confirming that the other party could not hear her, she continued, “That person’s name is Liu Yuyang. His father and my father were once good friends, so they decided on this marriage. However, it has already been canceled.”

“Moreover, I don’t like him at all. His desire to control is especially strong— even stronger than yours—Every time I’m with him, I feel like I’m about to suffocate. Therefore, when I applied to the academy, I secretly chose the Kaiyang Academy to avoid him!”

Wang Xiao pondered for a moment and looked at Zhou Xiruo. “When you explained just now, did you say something strange?”

“That’s not the point!”

Zhou Xiruo grabbed Wang Xiao’s hand and whispered pitifully, “The main point is that I can’t go to the Nine Heavens Academy. Otherwise, if he sees me, he will definitely continue to pester me!”

Looking at Zhou Xiruo’s almost pleading gaze, Wang Xiao would be lying if he said that he was not soft-hearted. However, he felt that it was not worth it to give up ten Breakthrough Stones for such a small matter.

After being in a dilemma for a moment, Wang Xiao’s eyes suddenly lit up. “I have an idea!”

As he spoke, Wang Xiao raised his hand and wiped his face before taking off the [Nirvana Mask]. “Aren’t you afraid of being recognized? You’ll be fine after wearing this ! ”

Zhou Xiruo was speechless. She looked at Wang Xiao as if he was an idiot. ‘You were in the limelight during the lord competition last time. Now, who doesn’t know that I’m your vassal lord?”

“That’s why I’m asking you to become someone else!”

Wang Xiao spread his hands. “If you transform into someone else and follow me tomorrow, they will only think that I’ve fallen out with you. Who would have thought that you would disguise yourself?”

“It sounds like… a solution?”

Zhou Xiruo was persuaded by Wang Xiao, but she was still a little worried. “But I’m the [construction lord]. As long as I attack, I’ll be recognized. At that time, it will still arouse suspicion, right?”

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

Wang Xiao chuckled and patted his chest confidently. “You don’t have to do anything tomorrow. Wait and see my performance!”

If it were anyone else, Zhou Xiruo would definitely think that the other party was bragging. However, when Wang Xiao said this, she was inexplicably willing to believe him.

In the end, Zhou Xiruo still nodded heavily. “Alright! Then we’ll do as you say!”

Patting Zhou Xiruo’s shoulder to reassure her, Wang Xiao returned to find Li Kaifu. “I’m sorry to have kept you waiting, Brother Li.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Li Kaifu smiled magnanimously and probed, “So have you decided?”

Hearing this, Wang Xiao revealed a difficult expression. “Since Brother Li has spoken, I naturally have to do my best. However, shouldn’t you pay a deposit

Li Kaifu frowned. “Brother Wang, are you afraid that I can’t afford ten Breakthrough Stones?

“No, no.”

Wang Xiao waved his hand repeatedly. “I’ve done business with Brother Li before, so I naturally know the Li family’s financial resources. It’s just that my vassal lord is a little worried.”

Zhou Xiruo:

Li Kaifu glanced at Zhou Xiruo and thought for a moment before nodding. “But I came out in a hurry today and only brought three Breakthrough Stones…”

“One is enough!”

Wang Xiao interrupted Li Kaifu and said sincerely with a smile, “Brother Li, don’t misunderstand. It’s not that I don’t trust you. I only want this Breakthrough Stone to give my companion an explanation. ”

“Then this matter is settled?”

Li Kaifu was delighted. Seeing Wang Xiao nod, he immediately opened the interface and placed a [Breakthrough Stone] into the trading column.

Wang Xiao opened the interface and received it. Then, he cupped his hands at Li Kaifu. “Brother Li, see you tomorrow in our Nine Heavens Academy!”

“Brother Wang, see you tomorrow!”
