Chapter 114: 『The Best Actor』 Li Zhangsheng (Ninth update, seeking first-time subscriptions)

Li Zhangsheng was also very helpless; he mainly wanted to see if there was a chance to obtain that Red Sparrow currently undergoing Bloodline Metamorphosis!

As long as the metamorphosis is completed, even if the Red Sparrow's quality does not improve, its bloodline will inevitably be activated, and its species will inevitably be upgraded, which will undoubtedly greatly increase its cultivation value.

If the quality also improves, becoming a Superior Quality Spirit Beast, Li Zhangsheng would even be willing to use a precious Blood Contract slot.

Of course, the prerequisite for everything is obtaining the Red Sparrow.

After going through this battle, Li Zhangsheng urgently wanted to improve his strength, but his standards were currently very high; he would only use a Blood Contract slot for at least a Superior Quality Spirit Beast, and its species could not be low either.

The Red Sparrow might meet his requirements after its bloodline metamorphosis, and even if there was only a sliver of a chance, he had no reason to let it go, especially since the Red Sparrow was only Luo Jie's Temporary Spirit Pet.

Looking at Li Zhangsheng walking over slowly, Luo Jie suddenly raised his head and let out an angry roar: "Are you trying to watch me make a fool of myself? Come on, mock me to your heart's content!"

Li Zhangsheng never expected that Luo Jie's reaction would be so intense.

"I don't have such thoughts, believe it or not!" Li Zhangsheng shrugged, then immediately asked in a questioning tone: "I'm just a bit confused, Luo Jie, I have no grudge against you, right? You could have clearly challenged me in private, so why go to such lengths to challenge me? This way, someone will always lose face."

In fact, even if Luo Jie didn't say it, Li Zhangsheng could guess it eight or nine times out of ten; from the series of reckless actions Luo Jie took this morning that led to his 'corporal punishment', he could roughly guess Luo Jie's temperament.

This person cares extremely about his face; otherwise, he wouldn't have risked being hated by Zhao Shuyi to use the Thousand Mechanism Fan to say, "Bah, you slave, your mother is a maid!" Furthermore, it also shows from the side that Luo Jie acts without thinking and is easily dominated by his emotions.

Given Luo Jie's 'blockhead' personality, and linking it to the scene where Zhao Shuyi, Xu Xiangzhi, Zhang Yi, and many classmates were watching the show, it was either that Luo Jie did it intentionally, or Luo Jie was being used as a pawn by others to test Li Zhangsheng's strength.

No matter how you look at it, the latter possibility is extremely high; of course, if it were the former, that would be quite dangerous.

Li Zhangsheng questioning Luo Jie was merely to seize the initiative and, by the way, divert the disaster, directing Luo Jie's hatred toward Zhao Shuyi and the others. This could greatly ease his relationship with Luo Jie, and if they could come to share a common enemy, that would be even more perfect.

Of course, Li Zhangsheng didn't care whether he could 'turn enemies into friends' with Luo Jie; what he cared about was the Red Sparrow!

"This... this, Li Zhangsheng, you misunderstood, they weren't invited by me!" Being questioned by Li Zhangsheng, Luo Jie was like a deflated balloon; the negative emotions in his heart dissipated a lot, and his brain was once again occupied by reason.

"Since they weren't invited by you, why did they come uninvited? And who leaked the news? Originally, I was prepared to hide my skills and play the pig to eat the tiger. If it were a private challenge, I would have voluntarily given up the Number One Courtyard. But look at this, with so many people present, your slap was almost on my face, and I could only choose to go all out. Now it's great; because of your reckless actions, my entire plan has been overturned by you, and I will definitely be targeted by them in the future!"

Li Zhangsheng feigned anger, his body shaking like a sieve as if he were truly enraged, and he loudly questioned Luo Jie again, looking every bit the victim.

As for giving up the Number One Courtyard and the so-called entire plan, he had never even thought about it; everything was merely to deceive Luo Jie.

"Li Zhangsheng, calm down first, take it easy!" Influenced by Li Zhangsheng's 'angry emotions', Luo Jie felt very aggrieved and even had the urge to cry. He not only lost the match but also had to turn around and comfort the winner; what the hell has this become.

Li Zhangsheng took a deep breath, but his eyes were still filled with anger, "Then you tell me, what is this all about?"

"Li Zhangsheng, let me explain slowly! It's like this, after class, Zhao Shuyi... that is the whole story. I see it clearly now, that bitch Zhao Shuyi plotted against me. And that guy Xu Xiangzhi, he looks reckless on the surface, but he's actually full of bad intentions! Sigh, I'll take this loss, but I've remembered them, and I definitely won't let them have an easy time in the future!"

Luo Jie indignantly cleared up the whole story, and he no longer held a grudge against Li Zhangsheng, instead shifting his hatred to Zhao Shuyi and Xu Xiangzhi.

Furthermore, in Luo Jie's view, he and Li Zhangsheng were both victims, conspired against by the two despicable villains Zhao Shuyi and Xu Xiangzhi, which also made him feel a bit of sympathy for Li Zhangsheng.

We are both people suffering at the ends of the earth!

"So that's how it is! Luo Jie, it seems I blamed you wrongly! But hearing you say this, I feel that Zhao Shuyi and Xu Xiangzhi might have secretly joined forces to suppress us, the main competitors, in order to fight for the Elite Class participation slots!"

After discovering that the effect was surprisingly good, Li Zhangsheng added fuel to the fire again. In fact, he knew very well that this was undoubtedly Zhao Shuyi's open scheme, and Xu Xiangzhi might also be her target, but Luo Jie was too stupid and was successfully instigated by her. But how could Li Zhangsheng clarify everything? That would not be in his interest. He wanted to try to get along with Luo Jie, preferably forming a temporary alliance, so that he could achieve his plan of killing two birds with one stone.

Poor Luo Jie...

"They are truly too sinister!" Luo Jie glared with rage, the fire in his heart burning ever brighter, wishing he could go and settle the score with them right now.

"Yes, they are indeed sinister! Do you remember the White Fox in Zhao Shuyi's arms? Do you think it's harmless and poses no threat? If you really think so, you've fallen for her trap! I accidentally received some news that it is not an ordinary White Fox, but a disguise for a Three-Tailed Snow Fox, and it is a Superior Quality Three-Tailed Snow Fox at that. If you are caught off guard, you wouldn't even know how you died!"

In order to share a common enemy with Luo Jie and incidentally build some 'friendship', Li Zhangsheng told Luo Jie about the Three-Tailed Snow Fox.

Revealing the news about the Three-Tailed Snow Fox could not only make Luo Jie more wary of Zhao Shuyi but also deepen the relationship between the two.

"What, a Superior Quality Three-Tailed Snow Fox!" Luo Jie's face turned bitter. He was not a fool, just someone who rarely thought independently and liked to act recklessly when encountering things, but his basic skills were quite solid. Thinking that the Three-Tailed Snow Fox was also a Commander Species, his heart turned bitter; it seemed he couldn't beat Zhao Shuyi!

Luo Jie even let his imagination run wild, thinking that Zhao Shuyi and Xu Xiangzhi had formed a temporary alliance, first instigating him to challenge Li Zhangsheng to see through their strengths and know themselves and their enemy, and finally going to challenge the winner, using the disguised Three-Tailed Snow Fox to catch the opponent off guard, ultimately achieving the goal of seizing the Number One Courtyard while also establishing their prestige.

Sinister, it is truly too sinister!

For a moment, Luo Jie labeled Zhao Shuyi as sinister!

He even made up his mind to make the matter of the Three-Tailed Snow Fox public, preferably spreading it far and wide so that everyone would know Zhao Shuyi's sinister intentions.

Thinking that he might be able to see Zhao Shuyi's panicked appearance before long, Luo Jie felt much better. This invisibly resolved the pent-up anger in his heart, and the way he looked at Li Zhangsheng became much friendlier.

"Li Zhangsheng, since we are both victims, why don't we form a temporary alliance to watch over and help each other, so as to avoid being defeated one by one by that pair of sinister villains, Zhao Shuyi and Xu Xiangzhi!"

"Good! But it's still not safe enough. After all, Zhao Shuyi has a Superior Quality Three-Tailed Snow Fox, and I'm afraid it won't be long before it becomes a High-Rank Beast. If we add Xu Xiangzhi, we will inevitably fall into a disadvantage!"

Li Zhangsheng cupped his chin, feigning deep thought, then clapped his hands hard and continued: "How about this, let's pull Zhang Yi in too. I believe that by combining our strength, we will definitely be able to resist them. Also, if there are any precious resources we can't use, we can trade with each other, which can also better improve our strength and avoid benefiting others!"

Until this moment, Li Zhangsheng finally completed the groundwork.
