How could someone as law-abiding and obedient as him possibly cause any trouble?
Isn't this pure slander?
Otogi Suzuka stroked her chin: "Hmm... I can't say, but if you join us, Xue-kun, you'll find out immediately."
Xue Jing stood up and said slowly, "I will consider it."
"Well then, we've had our tea and talked, so let's call it a day. I'll take my leave now, Suzuka-san."
Otogi Suzuka also stood up and said with a light laugh, "Xue-kun, see you on the field. I'm looking forward to it."
Xue Jing nodded and said, "Me too."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the door.
As they reached the door, the sliding door was pushed open, and Ruogong Taiping stood outside, bowing respectfully to Xue Jing.
"Lord Xue Jing."
Xue Jing glanced at him, nodded, and followed him out of the training ground.
On the way, Xue Jing followed behind Ruogong Taiping, looking at the deserted and desolate dojo, and casually remarked:
"Too naughty."
Ruogong Taiping paused for a moment, then smiled wryly and said, "It's Taiping, Lord Xue Jing."
Because of the side effects of the [Proof of Love], Xue Jing couldn't remember people's names and waved his hand: "They're all about the same."
Why is there no one at your dojo?
“The disciples are usually noisy, and I’m afraid they’ll disturb the young master…”
……
After leaving the training ground, Xue Jing had nothing to do, so he decided to go back to the Zhige base to practice martial arts.
Yuancheng is very large, more than twenty times larger than Qingcheng. Zhige Base is located in Zone B3, which is quite far from Zone A3. Even at Xue Jing's speed, it would take a long time to run there on foot. Therefore, they still have to take the high-speed monorail back.
On the way to the station, the cat spoke up:
"What do you think of what Otogisuka said?"
Xue Jing shook his head and said, "I don't quite believe what he said, but I can't rule out the possibility that he's telling the truth."
"So what do you plan to do? The Mischief Club is officially defined as a terrorist organization. Should we call the police and have them arrested?" Cat asked, puzzled.
Xue Jing waved his hand and said, "How could I call the police? He is the third heir of the Otogi Zaibatsu, an important figure in the Far East. If I were to say he is a member of a terrorist organization based solely on my word, the authorities would arrest me and accuse me of having malicious intentions to sow discord between the two countries..."
The cat said, "Then what should we do? Do nothing and pretend nothing happened?"
Xue Jing said smugly, "Hmph, this is where your blind spot comes in, isn't it? People can't solve everything on their own."
"Leave the things you can't handle to the people who can."
He reached into his pocket and took out his phone.
"When in doubt, consult Youqing Ameng."
The cat pursed its lips and gave a soft, ambiguous hum.
Xue Jing opened his contacts, found the number saved as "Youqing A Meng," and dialed it.
He didn't have to wait long; after just two rings, the call was answered.
"Hey?"
A calming, pleasant voice came through the receiver. Xue Jing was about to banter with Wu Youqing as he had done before, but under the gaze of her emerald-green vertical pupils, he inexplicably felt a little guilty and abandoned the idea. He simply coughed and began to give a very serious report:
"Boss, it's like this, I just made contact with Otogi Suzuka..."
He recounted in detail everything that Suzuka Otogi had said, including that he was a member of the Mischief Club and the purpose of the organization's existence.
After listening to the conversation, Wu Youqing on the other end of the phone pondered for a moment and then said:
"That's it, I know."
"Whether what he said is true or false, you don't need to worry about this matter or reply to his invitation. I will check and handle it."
Xue Jing nodded and said, "I understand."
"However, if his self-disclosed identity is true, then the fact that the Mischief Club actually contacted you is rather bad news."
Wu Youqing thought for a moment and then said.
"According to Otogi Suzuka, there should be someone among the troublemakers who can see through your 'abnormality' and has noticed you."
"No matter the reason, if you've ever been involved with this organization, you'll basically get yourself into serious trouble, even if you don't escape unscathed. You'd better be careful in the future."
Xue Jing calmly replied, "It's okay, I'm used to it."
Xue Jing has given up resisting his tendency to attract trouble; he's now adopting a "whatever comes, happens" approach.
I'm right here, buddy, come on over if you dare.
I'll fucking blast you all to pieces with one punch!
"By the way, BOSS, judging from what you're saying, is there something 'abnormal' about me?"
Xue Jing asked in confusion.
Otogi Suzuka said that someone had decided he was someone who would cause a lot of trouble... Xue Jing didn't believe it, but in his eyes, Wu Youqing's words always carried a lot of weight.
Since she mentioned that there was something 'abnormal' about her, Xue Jing had no choice but to pay attention.
Wu Youqing gave a soft "hmm" and said, "I'll tell you about this later; it's hard to explain in a short time."
Xue Jing nodded and said, "Understood."
After exchanging a few more words, Xue Jing hung up the phone.
……
The following day at noon, in the living room of the Zhige base residence, Xue Jing sat on the sofa, playing a holographic video on his wristband.
It was a live stream screen with a line of text at the bottom.
[U19 Unrestricted Fighting Tournament - Grand Finals Draw Ceremony, Coming Soon]
Xue Jing didn't have to wait long; the scene quickly switched to the actual location.
On stage, a well-dressed host held a microphone and presided over the lottery ceremony.
Soon it was time to introduce the contestants, and Xue Jing's image was among them, printed on the background screen.
The introductions were nothing special; everyone just gave a formulaic introduction of their name, school of thought, and lineage, and that was it.
Soon, all the contestants had finished introducing themselves, and the draw officially began.
On stage, the burly middle-aged man in charge of drawing lots picked up a lottery ball from a box, opened it, took out the slip of paper inside, and unfolded it in front of the camera.
Contestant number 1 – Xue Jing.
……
Chapter 224 The terror of twin flexibility, combat power skyrocketed, I see Zhou Yinglin as nothing more than a clay chicken or a clay dog (4K)
After Xue Jing was the first to be drawn, his opponent was drawn next.
Contestant number 2 – Yin Muhu.
"Yin Mei?" Xue Jing was slightly taken aback.
What a coincidence.
I never expected that my first opponent in the finals would be this little girl.
"Om-"
Xue Jing's phone rang and vibrated. He took it out and looked at it.
It was indeed Yin Muhu who attacked.
After pressing the answer button, Xue Jing said, "Hello?"
Yin Muhu's tender, girlish voice came through the receiver:
"Brother Xue, did you watch the lottery ceremony?"
Xue Jing nodded and said, "Yeah, I'm watching. I didn't expect the first match to be between you and me."
Yin Muhu sighed, "My luck is really bad. I encountered the final boss right after leaving the beginner village."
Xue Jing chuckled and said, "You're exaggerating."
“It’s no exaggeration, that’s really what I think,” Yin Muhu said.
"However... it is unbecoming of a martial artist to be cowardly before the battle even begins. Now that I have encountered you, I will go all out."
"Brother Xue, you'd better be careful... I might give you an unexpected surprise."
Xue Jing said softly, "Yes, I'm looking forward to it."
After chatting for a while longer, Xue Jing hung up the phone.
The lottery ceremony continued, and soon all the results were announced.
Among them, three people caught Xue Jing's attention.
One is Otogi Suzuka, who drew number sixteen, and is not in the same half of the draw as Xue Jing.
One of them was Zhou Yinglin, who drew number eight.
According to the rules of the Fengcheng knockout stage, he would meet Xue Jing in the quarterfinals. However, the rules for the finals have changed. After the quarterfinals, it will be a double-elimination tournament, and a new draw will be held.
Therefore, whether he will be able to meet Zhou Yinglin depends on whether he can be drawn against him in the quarterfinals draw.
However, Xue Jing did not doubt this. Zhou Yinglin's participation in the U19 team was very abrupt and did not bring any benefits. It was basically certain that his purpose was to cause trouble for him. Given this, it was impossible for someone of his status to be stumped by a small lottery problem.
Xue Jing estimated that he would likely encounter this person in the first or second match of the quarterfinals.
The third person Xue Jing noticed was a contestant named Ji Huaiyu.
This person was an acquaintance, a disciple of the Four Phases Yin God School. Xue Jing had interacted with him before his first entry into the Maple City elimination rounds.
