Chapter 138: The Competition is Coming
Seeing that the two Empresses of Ice and Snow seemed to have no interest in paying attention to her, Lin Shuyan was very tactful and did not continue to force a conversation.
"Don't worry, Master Ling, the space I arranged for you is OK, and it should be enough for you and everyone to stay." Xu Jiujiu did not continue to mention the two Empresses of Ice and Snow, but talked to Ling Shuang again about the topic at the beginning.
The two Empresses of Ice and Snow had no interest in them at first glance, and forcing them to get close would only be a waste of time, and it might even annoy them and backfire.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to continue to build a good relationship with Ling Shuang. The two strong women obviously took a fancy to Ling Shuang, and this might be more effective.
Hearing Xu Jiujiu's words, Ling Shuang finally did not refuse and nodded in response, "Your Highness, the princess is so kind, so I will obey your order."
This saved him the effort of finding a place.
As for whether living in the place arranged by Xu Jiujiu would be monitored, there was no need to worry at all.
Ling Shuang could see that Xu Jiujiu was a smart person and would not do anything that would make everyone unhappy.
Moreover, even if we take a step back, the entire Star Luo Empire might not be able to find a person who can escape the perception and surveillance of the Snow Empress.
Lin Shuyan did not continue to follow, because the other party obviously had no interest in her, and such a dog-skin plaster-like approach would not be liked by others.
Instead, Lin Shuyan wisely chose to take another path.
After Xu Jiujiu informed her brother Xu Jiawei about the deal between her and Ling Shuang, Xu Jiawei sent someone to inform Lin Shuyan, the dean of Star Luo Royal Academy, about this matter, so Lin Shuyan knew that Ling Shuang would represent Star Luo Royal Academy in this All-Continental High-Level Soul Master Competition.
Since the reaction of the two strong women around Ling Shuang was mediocre, she would not waste her efforts.
Lin Shuyan thought it would be better to explain the matter to the members participating in this All-Continental High-Level Soul Master Competition first, and give them a vaccination in advance, so as to prevent these people from doing things that would make Master Ling angry.
Lin Shuyan knew very well that even if she could not have a good relationship with the two strong women, she must not offend them!
How could anyone who could cultivate to this level be merciful?
Anyway, she said it first. If those people really provoke Ling Shuang later, she would take care of it. Anyway, as the dean, she has done her best. If they are still stubborn after being informed, they will die. She will not stop them, and she has no ability to stop them.
...
As the princess of the Star Luo Empire and the top auctioneer of the Starlight Auction House, Xu Jiujiu is indeed generous.
The place she arranged for Ling Shuang and others to stay was not a hotel, but a palace!
"Your Highness, this palace must have a great background, right?" Ling Shuang looked at the luxurious and magnificent building in front of him, and instantly knew that this palace must have a great background.
In a place like Star Luo City where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, the cost of building such a large palace is definitely an astronomical figure.
And Ling Shuang also noticed that the location of this palace is also unusual.
Not far from it is the Star Luo Palace, and you can see the palace from here.
Being able to build such a large palace outside the palace is not a matter of money.
"Mr. Ling has a good eye." Xu Jiujiu exclaimed, directly affirming Ling Shuang's statement, and she explained slowly.
"This is a new palace built by my brother for a prince of the royal family. However, the prince has been staying in the original palace due to his busy schedule, and has not had time to move in after the construction was completed."
"When I heard that Master Ling was coming, I asked Jiujiu to give up this palace for Master Ling to stay."
Xu Jiujiu's tone was very calm, but her words revealed the sincerity of their Star Luo royal family towards Ling Shuang.
The Star Luo emperor gave Ling Shuang a palace that he had built for a prince and had not had time to move in. Even the Duke of White Tiger, the most powerful minister of the Star Luo Empire, did not receive such treatment.
"Thank Your Majesty for this trouble."
"My brother said that if Master Ling likes it, this palace will be given to him." Xu Jiujiu said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Ling Shuang shook his head and joked, "Forget it, otherwise the prince might be dissatisfied with me."
Xu Jiujiu said, "Mr. Ling, don't worry about this. The prince is also very happy to give up the palace."
Ling Shuang did not question what Xu Jiujiu said.
After all, if it is the emperor's intention, a prince must be "willing" no matter how unwilling he is.
However, Ling Shuang still had no intention of accepting it. After all, he came here not only to complete the transaction, but the reward had already been discussed.
If he accepted this palace, the nature would be different.
Seeing this, Xu Jiujiu did not force it, but only told Ling Shuang that as long as he changed his mind, he could take over this palace at any time.
This overly attentive attitude made Ling Shuang see some clues.
The Star Luo Empire is probably not as calm as it seems.
In the next few days, Ling Shuang stayed in the palace with Jiang Nannan, Xue Di and others.
As for the Star Luo Royal Academy, he never went there, and he had no intention of running in with unfamiliar teammates.
Because there was no need.
Ling Shuang could compete with high-level Soul Saints before, and he made great progress after practicing in the ancient tree of life. It is likely that he already has the combat power of Soul Douluo level.
At this level, running in with some Soul Kings seems unnecessary.
If there is an opponent that Ling Shuang can't do anything about, adding a few Soul Kings will have the same result.
Xu Jiujiu and Xu Jiawei had no objection to this.
They knew that Ling Shuang had defeated the Golden Flame Lion King, whose combat power was comparable to that of a high-level Soul Saint, when he was in Shrek Academy, so they had the same idea. It was meaningless to get along with each other.
However, the other members of the Star Luo Royal Academy team were very dissatisfied with this.
After all, they were all arrogant geniuses, and they had never seen Ling Shuang's strength with their own eyes. It was normal for them to feel that they had underestimated him and be dissatisfied and angry.
However, those dissatisfied voices were suppressed by Xu Jiujiu and Lin Shuyan, and did not cause any impact.
Time passed slowly, and the day of the All-Continent High-Level Soul Master Competition had arrived.
As the organizer of this competition, Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City was particularly lively at this time, gathering all kinds of young geniuses from all over the world.
"I can finally see that Ling Shuang today, right?"
"I want to see if he has the ability to be so arrogant!"
Several people wearing the uniforms of the Star Luo Royal Academy team walked towards the team rest area, and one of them had a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
"Huang Heyun!" Xu Jiujiu shouted in a deep voice, glaring at him coldly, with a warning in her eyes.
Huang Heyun shut his mouth and lowered his head after being yelled at, with a look of dissatisfaction and a little grievance on his face.
He was supposed to be the captain of the Star Luo Royal Academy team this time, but because of Xu Jiujiu's arrival, he became the deputy captain.
This is not over yet. Just after he became the deputy captain, the news came back that Ling Shuang would represent Star Luo Royal Academy in the battle.
Xu Jiujiu gave up the position of captain and became the deputy captain, and Huang Heyun, who had been demoted to the deputy captain, became an ordinary team member.
With such a gap, how could he not be dissatisfied?.
