CHAPTER 97: CHAPTER 97: IF IT WERE ME, I’D WANT EVEN MORE!

"Tsk tsk, what were you two up to last night?"

Xuan Shiyi saw the two of them, first laughed heartily, then pursued for details.

Lin Xiaoyan and Xuan Shiwu exchanged glances, their eyes sparkling with amusement, helplessly said, "The tea was too good, we drank all night and then we couldn’t sleep."

Xuan Shiyi: ......

"Ahem, so are you drinking again tonight? Count me in!"

Xuan Shiyi shamelessly said.

"No way!"

Lin Xiaoyan and Xuan Shiwu said in unison.

After speaking, seeing Xuan Shiyi’s frustrated look, the two of them burst into laughter.

Lin Xiaoyan felt the laughter coming from her chest, and suddenly felt that this kind of wanton laughter and open expression made her feel very comfortable.

She used to be introverted, afraid of meeting others, afraid of others being too enthusiastic, but also afraid of awkwardness...

Everything she did either made herself awkward or made others awkward.

Or she would remain silent, living in her thoughts.

Constantly guessing others’ thoughts, yet not speaking up to ask.

In last night’s chat with Xuan Shiwu, she found out that speaking bluntly is quite good!

It turns out, abandoning all distracting thoughts and communicating seriously, is also very comfortable.

As for Xuan Shisan’s hostility, she directly said no, and it felt so refreshing!

...

Lin Xiaoyan decided to become brave and confident in the future!

She has money!!!

"By the way, I’ll send the contract to your phone later, remember to sign it!"

Xuan Shiyi suddenly said.

Lin Xiaoyan instantly understood, her heart filled with excitement.

"Okay!"

Xuan Shiwu asked something on the side.

Lin Xiaoyan told Xuan Shiwu about what Xuan Shiyi promised to give her yesterday.

After hearing it, Shiwu smirked, "You should have asked for more from him!

If it were me, I’d ask for five houses!

Add one more shop!

Three cars!

And ten million!"

Lin Xiaoyan looked at Xuan Shiwu, dumbfounded.

Hearing the whole thing, Xuan Shiyi gritted his teeth and glared angrily at that girl, Xuan Shiwu.

"Behave yourself, don’t corrupt Xiao Lin!"

Xuan Shiwu was dissatisfied, "Don’t think I don’t know how much you own!"

"You!"

Xuan Shiyi was furious; if there were other females in the team, he would definitely keep Lin Xiaoyan away from Shiwu!

"Ahem!"

In front, Xuan Qi suddenly coughed.

Xuan Shiyi and the others immediately stopped and looked over.

At this moment, they had already arrived in the hall, facing the people from Gouzi Country.

When they saw the ugly expressions on the people from Gouzi Country, they felt quite pleased internally.

Serves them right!

For always resorting to tricks!

The leader of Gouzi Country, Gongben, saw the people from Hua Country, his gaze flickered.

Those sent out last night hadn’t returned, and some even rebounded.

It was unexpected that after thirty years, the Xuan Generation people had become even more formidable.

"Gongben, long time no see."

Xuan Er greeted Gongben indifferently.

Gongben showed a smile and said in broken Chinese, "Yes, thirty years, you’re still full of spirit."

"You too, still shameless."

Xuan Er replied indifferently.

Gongben didn’t understand what "shameless" meant, but seeing those behind Xuan Er stifling their laughter, he knew it wasn’t good and felt extremely angry!

But due to so many people, he held back.

"This year’s competition, we’ve decided to choose the location by casting lots!"

"You?" Xuan Er looked at Gongben, chuckled, "This year’s rules were repeatedly changed by the so-called ’you’.

We’ve respected your decisions and made concessions several times, but not for you to take advantage!"

Xuan Er looked towards the other countries, "Does this ’you’ include any of you?"

Those countries usually friendly with Hua Country waved their hands, indicating they were unaware of Gouzi Country’s decision and had nothing to do with it.

Xuan Er’s gaze fell upon Ugly Country and Fengshui Country, seeing their arrogant demeanor, his gaze deepened, then he looked at Gongben again.

"So, this year’s rules were decided by you three countries?"

Gongben hesitated, then snorted coldly, "The old rules were boring, and now, isn’t it time to change?"

Xuan Shiyi sneered, "Change? Conveniently getting stabbed by you?"

Instantly, everyone looked unsightly upon understanding Xuan Shiyi’s words.

They looked angrily at Xuan Shiyi; how could he speak so unpleasantly!

With clearly a 37-degree mouth, the temperature of his words was exceptionally high!

Gongben’s face turned cold, looking at Xuan Er, "What do you say? Isn’t it boring compared to previous competitions?"

In the end, after both sides argued, it was decided that the lots could be cast, but by Hua Country!

At this moment, Lin Xiaoyan’s palms were sweating with tension, her back felt pressured by the gaze.

Why did the task of casting fall into her hands!

Lin Xiaoyan looked at Xuan Er again, "I... I’m really not good at aiming!"

Xuan Er smiled indifferently, "No problem, just cast, everything has its own destiny."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoyan said no more. She calmed herself, looked at the map in front, mentally cheered herself up, wherever she lands, hope it won’t disgrace Hua Country.

"Bang"

Under everyone’s eyes, Lin Xiaoyan threw it.

"Gan Province!"

Everyone saw where it landed and exclaimed in unison.

The ones behind replaced the map, letting Lin Xiaoyan continue to cast.

With the first experience, Lin Xiaoyan quickly cast it again.

"Min Mountain!"

...

With the results out, after confirming the location, everyone went back to pack and prepare to set off for Gan Province, Min Mountain.

The plane tickets were quickly booked, and everyone headed to the airport with their luggage.

"Ding"

In the car, Lin Xiaoyan’s phone lit up; it was a message from Jiang Rong.

She opened it to find a long message from Jiang Rong, resembling a "little essay."

Lin Xiaoyan read carefully, discovering it was about Li Wen.

Jiang Rong said that after interacting, she learned about Li Wen and his sister’s situation.

Li Wen and his sister are both excellent students, but due to their parents’ affairs, the neighbors who’ve been affected over the years have been relentlessly pursuing them.

Not only demanding annual compensation from the siblings but also asking them to marry relatives from the neighbor’s family...

Lin Xiaoyan frowned as she read Jiang Rong’s message, feeling angry.

She continued reading.

Jiang Rong mentioned that fortunately, the siblings were wise to seek government help. The government ruled years ago that Li Wen had sold off his parents’ assets to pay off the compensation.

The government, upon knowing the neighbors’ misdeeds, acted immediately to punish them.

All the money extorted from Li Wen over the years was returned.

Thus, the claim that Li Wen lacked money for school and to support his sister was debunked.

As for why Li Wen wasn’t attending school, Jiang Rong said she would continue to investigate and ensure no potential risks remain in the store.

At the end of the message, Lin Xiaoyan was silent; if Li Wen had money, why didn’t he attend school?

And why did Jiang Rong suddenly start investigating Li Wen’s affairs?
