Shang Leshan looked at Zhou Xuan's back closely, feeling increasingly angry. His sister Wan'er was usually so gentle, but today she scolded him for such an outsider. Why?
Shang Leshan snorted secretly, but did not speak. He knew that Shang Wan'er valued Zhou Xuan very much, so he could only hold it in.
The atmosphere among the group suddenly became a little subtle.
Shang Leshan and many young geniuses from the merchants were a little unhappy with the cold Zhou Xuan. They didn't know how Shang Wan'er could fall in love with such an outsider. She glanced at Zhou Xuan from time to time, but she couldn't say much.
Zhou Xuan took it calmly and pretended he didn't see anything.
His goal has always been one, to get the guarantee and leave.
Under such a strange atmosphere, everyone gradually came to the competition venue.
This is a public arena in Cangwu City, and there are already crowds of spectators from all directions. On the high platforms on all sides, there are several white-haired old men or middle-aged people sitting on each side.
The temperament of these people is very extraordinary, and they obviously have profound cultivation.
When Zhou Xuan and others entered the arena, they immediately attracted the attention of many people, and many people whispered in low voices.
"Uncle, we are here."
Shang Wan'er raised her hands to a middle-aged man on the high platform to show respect.
The same is true for the young geniuses of other merchants. Zhou Xuan saw that the middle-aged man in the ring was a powerful man with magical powers that was not weaker than Tang Qianshan, and he was not too proud, so he gave up his hand slightly.
"Is he the helping hand you mentioned?"
The middle-aged man's eyes immediately fell on Zhou Xuan, obviously with a bit of scrutiny.
Shang Wan'er is the heir of the younger brother of the Shang family owner. The uncle he talks about is naturally the Shang family owner, Shang Tairan, who is currently sitting on the high platform and looking at Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan lowered his head slightly when facing Shang Tairan's gaze.
Shang Wan'er was a little embarrassed, and nodded with a forced smile: "Yes, uncle, he is very strong and can be trusted."
"Why is he so strong? I can't tell."
Shang Leshan couldn't help it anymore and sneered: "Uncle, there is nothing powerful about this kid. I really don't know how he charmed Sister Wan'er."
"We were actually asked to bring such an oil bottle."
Shang Leshan is also the child of Shang Tairan's younger brother. He speaks upright and does not respect the business owner that much.
When the other business geniuses heard this, their expressions were similar.
Shang Wan'er frowned. Just when she was about to scold Shang Leshan, she heard Shang Tairan's voice fell.
"Wan'er, you are the one who made the decision on this matter."
Shang Tairan did not accuse Shang Leshan, but lowered his eyes, looked at Zhou Xuan calmly and critically, and then looked back at Shang Wan'er, exuding a terrifying majesty from his whole body.
"The competition is ahead, don't act rashly. You randomly found a person who doesn't know his strength and doesn't know his details. It's just nonsense."
Upon receiving this accusation, Shang Wan'er suddenly didn't dare to speak anymore.
Sitting next to Shang Tairan was a young man with a handsome face, about twenty years old. At this moment, he also looked at Zhou Xuan with lowered eyebrows and frowned slightly. The aura on his body was quite extraordinary. He was actually a strong man at the peak of the Nine Heavens.
The young man's name is Shang Mingtai, he is the well-deserved number one among the younger generation of merchants, and he is also Shang Leshan's brother.
"Wan'er, you are usually calm, why are you so reckless this time?"
Shang Mingtai looked at Shang Wan'er and said in an educational tone: "Not everyone who has entered the third level of Tongqiao has enough strength. Do you know that the strength of people in the same realm is very different?"
"Don't you know how important this battle is to my business?"
Shang Wan'er bit her lips lightly. She didn't think of the conflict at first, but now she couldn't help it, and her voice was serious.
"Brother Mingtai, of course I know how important this competition is to our merchants. It is precisely because of this that I will find another way. This person is very good and I think he can be trusted."
"Some of us are injured, and we don't have a more suitable candidate. Brother Mingtai, as you know, the chances of winning for others are not high."
Shang Mingtai looked down at Shang Wan'er, with deep disappointment in his eyes.
"Even if the odds of winning are not high, they are still higher than for an outsider. Isn't it ridiculous for you to let this outsider participate in the competition? It is also letting outsiders see the joke of our business. You are not doing the right thing."
Shang Tairan obviously agreed with Shang Mingtai's statement and nodded.
"Mingtai is right. No matter what, we cannot leave this matter in the hands of an outsider."
Shang Wan'er understood what Shang Tairan meant, and her face turned pale slightly.
She quickly explained: "Uncle, brother Mingtai, believe me, his strength is very good and it can definitely be effective. If this competition is really because of an accident with him..."
"I am willing to bear all the blame!"
Shang Wan'er glanced at Zhou Xuan and saw the calmness on Zhou Xuan's face. She gritted her teeth and said such a sentence by accident.
Shang Tairan and Shang Mingtai both frowned.
They all saw that Shang Wan'er was very persistent, so they all remained slightly silent.
Shang Tairan finally shook his head and said in a low voice: "That's fine, I'll let you be willful for a while."
Shang Tairan finally agreed to Shang Wan'er's decision.
Considering that someone is injured and another person is called on to play, the chance of winning is not very high. It is better to take care of Shang Wan'er's emotions a little. There are only a few super geniuses in their business.
Shang Mingtai shook his head and said no more.
Shang Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief. If Zhou Xuan was really expelled, she really didn't know how to explain it.
Shang Wan'er apologized softly: "Uncle and brother Mingtai will definitely know when you show your strength."
Zhou Xuan nodded silently and said nothing.
He naturally observed everything that just happened. It seemed that Shang Wan'er's status in the business was indeed not low. She was determined to appear on the stage alone, but it was not as high as expected.
It is clear.
Shang Wan'er took on a lot of pressure in order to get herself on the stage.
Zhou Xuan knew this, so he looked at Shang Wan'er with admiration. He actually didn't know why Shang Wan'er trusted him so much.
It seems that even if you don’t want to win, you still have to win.
The voices of the merchants' conversations were very low, almost silent, and the other high platforms were far away, so the conversations here were not heard by the other three major families.
The figures in all directions stood still, their eyes gradually focused on the ring.
A loud voice was heard. The person who spoke was the head of the Chu family, one of the four major families.
"Everyone is here."
"Without further ado, let's get ready to play."
After the voice fell, the young men and women standing in the four directions of the arena were all eager to try. They looked at the people from other families, with strong fighting intent in their eyes, as if they couldn't wait any longer.
