Chapter 191: Backing off In the arena. The old butler waved his hand to calm everyone down, "Everyone, after a day of competition, we have finally come to the final two rounds. In order to be fair, my master said that we have decided to use a draw to determine the final two rounds of competition." "It seems that Shopkeeper Gu's rat has no chance of winning now." "Yes, no matter how he draws the lot, he will run into one of the three major families in Zhongyuan City. The chance of winning is not high." "For a kid like him, it's pretty good that he can fight to the end." As soon as the old butler finished speaking, there was a burst of discussion from the audience. Gu Chan frowned upon hearing this, and only then did she realize that the Wu, Xu and Gu families were actually the three major families in Zhongyuan City. In this way, the strength of these three families is very strong, not much inferior to Zheng Shixian's Zheng family. Of course, no matter how strong these families are, they still have to be respectful in front of the Liu family, a family of officials. Otherwise, the people from these three major families would not have brought their mysterious beasts to today's mysterious beast fighting competition and marriage-recruiting conference. After everyone quieted down, the old housekeeper continued, "Okay, Mr. Wu, Mr. Xu, Miss Gu, and Shopkeeper Gu, all of you come up and draw lots!"
The four of them immediately stood up and went on stage, standing in front of the old butler. The old housekeeper ordered a servant to bring a small box with an opening on the top, placed it in front of the four people and said, "There are four slips of paper in here. The pairings for those who draw one or two, and the pairings for those who draw three or four." The four of them nodded and reached into the small box to grab a piece of paper. When Gu Chan took the note and opened it, she discovered that the number four was written on the note she drew, which meant that she would compete with the person who drew the number three next. The old butler waved his hand and told the servant to take the small box and leave, and said to the four people, "Okay, all four of you, show us your notes!" The four of them raised the pieces of paper in their hands almost at the same time. As soon as the paper was shown, everyone understood immediately that Mr. Wu and Miss Gu drew numbers one and two respectively, while Mr. Xu and Gu Chan drew numbers three and four respectively. Master Xu put down the note in his hand, turned his head and stared at Gu Chan with a sneer, "Little brother, I'm afraid it's impossible for you to beat me in this round, but it's remarkable that your mysterious beast can hold on to the end, you have to work hard!" "Oh my god! Are you rich young men always so pretentious?" Gu Chan muttered unhappily while holding the note. She had seen too many villain characters like this one who were rich young men in TV dramas and novels before. She really couldn't understand why these people were so nasty that they could make people feel sick and want to vomit just by opening their mouths. Master Xu's face immediately stiffened, and he said in an extremely cold voice, "Humph! You country bumpkin from the border, your words are so unpleasant. Just wait! I will tear your mysterious beast into pieces in a moment." Gu Chan ignored him and jumped off the stage. She sat back on the chair, crossed her legs, and folded her arms across her chest, looking like she didn't take him seriously at all. Master Xu clenched his fists in anger. He thought, as the eldest son of the Xu family, one of the three major families in Zhongyuan City, everyone should be polite to him. But Gu Chan actually didn't take him seriously. He instantly felt that he had lost all his face. Master Wu laughed at him, "You are so useless! He doesn't even take you seriously, even though he is just a kid. If it were me, I would have rushed over and beaten him up." "That's right! You're the only one who is so cowardly." Miss Gu also followed suit and made teasing faces. Master Xu became even angrier and was about to order his men to teach Gu Chan a lesson. The old butler shouted coldly, "You three, it's already dark. We in the Liu family just want to finish this Mystical Beast Martial Arts Contest and Marriage Recruitment Conference as soon as possible. If anyone dares to cause trouble here and delay the progress of the conference, don't blame us for being rude." "Hmph! You're lucky, you little brat. Just wait for me!" Master Xu snorted angrily and threatened Gu Chan. Then he could only hold back his anger and walk off the stage with Mr. Wu and Miss Gu. Their two mysterious beasts, the Black Scorpion and the Grey Eagle, stayed on the stage and confronted each other. The old butler stepped aside and waved his hand, saying, "Let's get started!"
As the old butler finished speaking, the black scorpion and the gray eagle both rushed towards each other at a rapid speed. As soon as the two sides came into contact, a fierce battle between the mysterious beasts broke out on the ring. The fight between the Black Scorpion and the Grey Eagle was so bloody that every move was impressive and terrifying! Gu Chan sat on a chair, watching the bloody battle between the mysterious beasts, and she couldn't help swallowing her saliva. Mickey huddled in her arms, fear evident in his little rat eyes. He couldn't help but whisper in Gu Chan's ear, "Boss, you guys have to protect me from behind! This is too harsh! If I go up there, the White Wolf will beat me to death!" "Why, are you scared?" Gu Chan asked. "Every move is likely to kill the opponent! How can I not be afraid?" Mickey said in a trembling voice. "..."Gu Chan. Dry! After traveling to this world for so long, she has never witnessed a real fierce battle between mysterious beasts. Even if you have seen two mysterious beasts fighting before, they were basically just minor fights. How could they be like the two mysterious beasts on the ring now, attacking with the intention of killing each other? She is also worried now. If something really happens after Mickey takes office, wouldn’t she suffer a great loss? After all, Mickey still has a rat fairy hat on her head, and this identity can be used at any time in the future! If it is really killed, it will be a big loss for her. Thinking of this, Gu Chan also backed off and whispered in Mickey's ear, "How about this, you just admit defeat when you go up and don't fight anymore. If you really fight to the death, it will be difficult for you to defeat Mr. Xu's white wolf!" "This..." Mickey was speechless, feeling extremely conflicted. But at this moment, something unexpected happened. Suddenly, a little maid walked up to Gu Chan with graceful lotus steps, then quietly handed a note to her. Then the little maid immediately turned around and left without staying for long. Gu Chan held the note in her hand and looked up at Liu Xueer who was sitting behind the ring. Ok! At this moment, Liu Xueer was looking at her, winking at her secretly, indicating that she had asked her maid to send the note! Gu Chan quickly lowered her head, opened the note and started reading. She found a line of small words written on it. "You guys should do your best! Yinling and I are both optimistic about Mickey. We hope that he will win in the end and get engaged to Yinling." After reading this line of small words, Gu Chan's face froze, and she felt both conflicted and helpless. She had already begun to back down, but unexpectedly Liu Xueer took the opportunity to hit her with a stick, which made her very troubled! (End of this chapter)
