Chapter 119 You still say you're not a siscon! (4K)

When Shen Yi suggested going to ask Thirteen Princess, Ninety Princess immediately provided Thirteen Princess's location.

"My sister should be in box number 1 right now. She usually likes to watch duels there," Kujuhime said happily, her twin tails twitching like insect antennae.

Looking at Jiu Shi Ji's expression, Shen Yi hesitated for a moment before asking, "Are you going?"

"Okay, okay!" Jiji agreed without hesitation, clearly having been waiting for Shen Yi to say that.

The path to Box 1 is not far.

As Shen Yi walked up the steps, Xu Ran had already made her appearance.

He glanced back and noticed that Xu Ran's deck seemed to have changed somewhat, mainly in the minerals that made up the spell deck, which should have been adjusted specifically to counter his opponent.

Therefore, given sufficient information, it is actually quite easy for miner decks to be built specifically to counter certain opponents.

However, because this deck is not as strong as those true numerical monsters and mechanic monsters, even with countermeasures, winning is not always easy.

It's unclear what adjustments Xu Ran will make to his deck.

Unfortunately, Shen Yi and Xu Ran are not in the same half of the bracket, so they will probably have to fight each other again.

"When did you and my sister become so close?"

On the way, Kujuhime asked, seemingly casually.

She seemed hesitant to speak the whole way, as if she wanted to ask this very question.

Shen Yi thought for a moment and then said truthfully, "We encountered a problem and then started communicating. Actually, we're not that close."

He wasn't lying.

Although Thirteen Princess is now providing him with some information and material assistance, Shen Yi can clearly sense that she is primarily relying on his help for Ninety Princess.

They can only be described as "acquaintances," far from being "friends."

It wasn't that Shen Yi still had any misunderstandings about Thirteen Princess, but rather that Thirteen Princess didn't want to deepen her relationship with Shen Yi further, preferring to remain at the level of cooperation.

Shen Yi had found Thirteen Princess's condition very strange before, but after seeing her performance in the duel arena today, Shen Yi seemed to understand the reason.

It's probably because I've never played cards with her before.

Before long, the two arrived at the private room area.

Just as Princess Jiushi said, Princess Shisan was in the private room.

She crossed her arms and watched the duel in the arena, her crimson eyes reflecting the scene below.

The guiding robot scanned Kujuhime and quickly opened the door for the two of them.

Sensing someone enter, Thirteen Princess turned to look at them.

When she saw Princess Kuju, her gaze softened noticeably, but the moment she saw Shen Yi, Princess Shisan's expression became indifferent.

"What brings you here?" Thirteen Princess asked, frowning slightly.

Holy crap!

Seeing Thirteen Princess's rapid change of expression in those few seconds, Shen Yi finally understood why Nine Princess was so sure that Thirteen Princess was good to her.

Viewed individually, Thirteen Princess was an extremely cold figure, both to herself and to Nine-Ten Princess.

But when both of them were present, the difference in their attitude became immediately apparent.

"Um—" Jiji hesitated and looked at Shen Yi.

Actually, she felt there was no need to bother her sister if it was just an invitational tournament. After all, her thirteenth sister was very busy, and if she knew that she had to ask for her opinion even to participate in such an invitational tournament, she would definitely be disappointed in her.

Shen Yi got straight to the point: "I received a ticket to an invitational tournament from a company controlled by the Pei family."

As soon as he spoke, Kujuhime, who was standing next to him, immediately showed a puzzled expression.

Huh? The Pei family?

There was no information about the Pei family in the email I received.

Furthermore, what does this have to do with the Pei family? Even if it's an invitational tournament organized by the Pei family, as long as it passes the review of the executing agency, it's still a legitimate competition, right?

While Princess Ninety was still bewildered, Princess Thirteen had already frowned: "So fast?"

Clearly, the speed at which the Pei family came knocking on their door also exceeded Gan Sanji's expectations.

"It might just be a test," Thirteen Princess pondered, but her reaction was relatively calm. She simply suggested to Shen Yi, "You could have that hacker you know investigate the review process for this invitational tournament. It's impossible to complete the entire application process in such a short time."

Thirteen Princess was unaware that Vera possessed full access to guide the robot, so she naturally assumed that Shen Yi knew a very skilled hacker.

"I've already had her investigate." Shen Yi didn't explain, but glanced at Kujuhime beside him. "By the way, Kujuhime also received the same invitation—"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a chill.

Thirteen Princess, who had been listening calmly to his story just moments before, now had a sharp and cold look in her eyes. She said, word by word, "Tell me in detail."

Ok!

Your preferential treatment is a bit too obvious!

You still say you're not a siscon!

Kuji, who was preparing fruit on the coffee table in the private room, was startled by her older sister's sudden seriousness.

"Is there...is there a problem with this?"

Sitting awkwardly on the sofa, Kujuhime looked anxiously at Thirteenhime, who was looking at the invitation email with a serious expression, and asked Shen Yi beside her in a low voice.

Shen Yi said, "This invitational tournament might be specifically designed for you."

He could understand Thirteen Princess's protectiveness towards her younger sisters, Nine-Ten Princess.

However, he did not approve of Thirteen Princess's actions.

Some things can't be solved by hiding them.

The idea that "children don't need to know these things" should not be applied to Kujuhime, who has only recently come of age.

But now, Kujiro is his friend, a close friend who gave him a million-dollar angel investment, and he feels that there are some things that Kujiro has the right to know.

Having probably heard Shen Yi's words, Thirteen Princess raised her eyes and gave Shen Yi a warning look.

Her meaning was roughly that she didn't want Shen Yi to tell Kujira about the God Card.

Why did the Pei family suddenly invite Ji Jiushi to participate in the invitational tournament?

Kujuhime's dueling skills are not strong, and she is not a star player. Generally speaking, GG-type invitational tournaments would not invite duelists like her.

They're either after me or they're after the Ji family.

Regardless of the reason, they are all essentially after the Ji family's God Card.

"There's no need to participate in a meaningless competition," Thirteen Princess said sternly to Ninety Princess.

Princess Kuju trembled slightly. She lowered her head, pursed her lips, and nodded, saying, "Yes—"

Seeing the changes in the girl, Shen Yi knew that Ji Shi was actually very much looking forward to this match.

She has never been confident in her own abilities and longs for recognition from others.

But she also knew that the difference in strength between duelists was an objective fact.

This is why she came to ask Shen Yi as soon as she saw the invitation email.

The email mentioned that this was an invitational tournament specifically for low-ranking duelists.

In her opinion, Shen Yi's abilities far surpassed her own, and he should have been invited more than she was.

"Whether it's meaningful or not, the prize money is real, and I plan to go and see it," Shen Yi grinned.

Thirteen Princess looked at Shen Yi scrutinizingly.

Anyone with eyes could see that this was a trap set for him, so she was very curious about why Shen Yi wanted to participate.

"My mother, the one with the spirit card, disappeared in the Pei family. My feud with them is not over yet," Shen Yi said calmly.

Thirteen Princess nodded, then looked at Shen Yi with a meaningful gaze.

Are you talking about a spirit card?

If there is only one Soul card in the deck, there is no need to specifically emphasize "Elf".

Clearly, the boy in front of us has other soul cards.

Based on the information released so far, the most likely candidate is the doll named Vera.

You really are a contractor of the doll world.

Thirteen Princesses have basically confirmed Shen Yi's identity.

However, she didn't have any particular feelings about it.

After all, she had not personally experienced the Qizhou incident, nor was she closely bound to the God Card; the puppet had absolutely no conflict of interest with her.

What she had to do was keep her sister away from these dangers.

However, simply avoiding the problem won't solve it.

Thirteen Princess was well aware of this.

She thought for a moment and then said to Shen Yi, "If there's anything I can help you with, please let me know."

To completely solve the problem, all forces that covet her sister must be eliminated.

The old folks of the Ji family were like this, as was the Lord of the Waste Sword, and the Pei family and other families were the same.

Having figured this out, Thirteen Princess decisively decided to give Shen Yi enough help in this matter.

"I think you should also keep an eye on the Gu family," Shen Yi said meaningfully.

Thirteen Princess instantly understood.

If the Pei family is plotting against Jiji because of the Sword Master, then will the Gu family, who have also lost the God Card, also covet Jiji?

This is a very reasonable speculation.

It's not surprising that Thirteen Princesses would do something like this, given that these guys are so engrossed in the power of the God Cards that they don't even know how to win a duel without them.

"Then—" Shen Yi glanced at the dejected Ji Shi Ji and rolled his eyes.

He could tell that Kujuhime wanted to participate in this invitational tournament.

However, he is not the kind of person who would knowingly let his friends recklessly take risks.

Therefore, Shen Yi and Shisan Ji share the same opinion on not letting Jiushi Ji participate in the competition.

But Princess Kujo's disappointment is real, and Princess Shijo should be given some psychological compensation.

"If I participate in the invitational tournament, I'll definitely miss this month's secret realm exploration." Shen Yi looked at Thirteen Princess and grinned. "I had already agreed with the club president to go together—"

Jiji looked up at Shen Yi with some surprise.

When did we agree on this?

Thirteen Princess narrowed her eyes and stared intently at Shen Yi.

When did you two make this appointment? What are your next steps?!

Despite being stared at by the two sisters, Shen Yi remained calm and continued with a smile, "So, could you please use my spot to go into the secret realm with her?"

Upon hearing Shen Yi's words, Jiu Shi Ji's eyes immediately lit up.

Explore the secret realm with—with my sister? Is this really possible?

The thought of exploring the secret realm with her sister instantly dispelled the gloom in Kujuhime's heart.

Upon hearing Shen Yi's suggestion, Thirteen Princess realized that she did indeed need to strengthen the protection around her younger sister before completely dealing with the Pei and Gu families.

At the academy, as the president of the student council, she was confident that she could protect Himeko.

But once you reach the Soul Card Secret Realm, it's not necessarily the case.

"Okay, I will," Thirteen Princess agreed, then added, "But you still need to be careful; the opponent probably doesn't only have the invitational tournament as a means."

The two chatted for a few more minutes, then Shen Yi took his leave with Jiu Shi Ji because of student council work.

"So, are you and your sister hiding something from me?"

After leaving the private room, Jiu Shi Ji looked at Shen Yi seriously and asked.

She wasn't stupid; she could more or less understand the underlying meaning of what Shen Yi and Shisanji were discussing.

At least from their conversation, it seemed that the Pei family intended to take action against him and Shen Yi.

Although she didn't know why Shen Yi had offended the Pei family, that didn't stop Jiu Shi Ji from being anxious about Shen Yi's situation.

Jiji didn't intend to ask about Shen Yi's secret, but simply said, "If the Pei family really targets you, you shouldn't participate in this invitational tournament."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I also have my reasons for having to attend," Shen Yi said. "And, during this period of time, don't trust anyone other than me and your sister—Thirteen Princesses."

Shen Yi originally wanted to say "your sister", but when the words were about to come out, he remembered that Ji Jiushi seemed to have eighty-nine sisters, so he changed it to Ji Shisan.

When Ji Jiushi heard Shen Yi's words, she was clearly stunned for a moment.

She thought of the sword-wielding girl she had taken in, and her expression clearly fell.

"Alright, let me show you the new card."

By the time I walked back to the stands, the game was almost over.

The result for Shen Yi's opponent tomorrow has also been announced. He is a duelist named Ning Wei, who is said to be a veteran in the lower-ranked matches. His previous results have never been good, but this time, due to the unexpected incidents involving Gu Yan and Cai Yu, and the fact that the Xiong Tan Society was sniped and crushed by Shen Yi, he finally got his chance to rise.

Shen Yi noted down his opponent's name and planned to go back to his dormitory to look at the opponent's deck and previous duel videos.

The less well-known the opponent, the more vigilant we should be.

"A new card?" Jiu Shi Ji was clearly taken aback when she heard Shen Yi's words.

"————" Shen Yi looked at Kujuhime's expression and said speechlessly, "You haven't forgotten about the card-making contract I have here, have you?"

"Oh~!" Only after Shen Yi's reminder did Kuju-hime clearly realize what was happening. "Sorry—"

She really didn't take it to heart.

Essentially, this was a last-minute decision made because she saw that Shen Yi was planning to borrow money. In her view, this could even be considered a "bonus" for Shen Yi getting her a spot in the Qingyu Club.

Jiji never even imagined that Shen Yi would actually print out a card for her.

It's not that Jiji doesn't believe in Shen Yi's card-making skills; after all, Shen Yi's current record is enough to demonstrate his level in this area.

She just felt that Shen Yi probably didn't have that much luck to make extra cards.

Seeing Jiji like this, Shen Yi was speechless.

I had kept this matter in mind all along, but the other person had almost forgotten about it.

All I can say is, rich women are awesome.
