Tang Shiyuan lost and the honor of coming first belonged to Kuang Re.

An Lins crestfallen expression was captured by Xuanyuan Cheng and he patted An Lins shoulder in consolation. And you still deny that youre interested in Tang Shiyuan, look at your expression Dont worry, Ill introduce her to you in a bit!

An Lin winced at his words.

I dont give a sh*t about her! Im only lamenting my hundred thousand spirit stones!!

Hmm wait, I gave Kuang Re ten vital stones too.

Holy f*ck, what a massive loss!

No, he had to get those ten vital stones back at least.

Thus, An Lin appeared before Kuang Re again.

An Lin: Give the vital stones back!

Kuang Re: I refuse.

An Lin was shocked. You failed the mission, what makes you think you still deserve the vital stones!?

Kuang Re resumed his lazy expression. Ive already been very diligent in my acting. Also, Tang Shiyuan isnt weak enough to be defeated so easily. Theres definitely something amiss here!

An Lin: I dont give a sh*t if theres something amiss or not, the reality is that you won the match and the result cant be reversed!

Kuang Re: But Ive tried my best, and you didnt say that Ive to give the vital stones back if I failed the mission. On top of that, I was originally going to win 120,000 spirit stones in total. If I return the vital stones to you, itd equate to a loss of ninety thousand spirit stones. Id be so distraught that Id want to commit suicide!

It would have been fine if he did not mention this, but An Lin immediately flared up with rage at his words. What kind of bulsh*t logic is this? Going by your line of thinking, do you know how many spirit stones Ive lost!?

Kuang Re glared at him menacingly. How many?

An Lins breathing began to accelerate. If you lost the match, I wouldve won three hundred thousand spirit stones! Even if I gave you the ten vital stones, itd still be a profit of two hundred thousand spirit stones. But now that youve won the match, Ive lost a hundred thousand spirit stones, and now youre f*cking refusing to return my other hundred thousand spirit stones. Going by your logic Ive lost four hundred thousand f*cking spirit stones!!!

Kuang Re could not help but cover his face in shock as his eyes became even more bloodshot. Even his body began to tremble as he said, Holy sh*t, buddy. Youre gambling way too hard there. If I were you, Id have committed suicide already after making such big losses!

An Lin gripped his chest with rage. F*ck, now that Kuang Re mentioned it, he really was starting to have suicidal thoughts

Kuang Re: Seeing as youve been through such misfortune, Ill return five vital stones to you.

An Lin: Return all of it!

Kuang Re: No problem, but Ill have to inform Young Master Xuanyuan of your bribery.

An Lin almost blacked out. F*ck!

And so.

An Lin returned to where Xuanyuan Cheng was with tears streaming down his face as he stroked his storage ring with a crestfallen expression.

That was 150,000 spirit stones

No, wait it was 350,000!

In contrast to An Lins misery, Xuanyuan Cheng had a warm smile on his face. Student An Lin, guess what surprise Ive prepared for you?

An Lin inhaled deeply before asking in confusion. What surprise?

At this moment, a lithe and graceful woman walked out from behind Xuanyuan Cheng. Her face was still a little pale but that only contributed to her frail and delicate beauty, provoking an urge from onlookers to protect and cherish her.

Mr. An, I heard that you wanted to meet me? The white-robed woman had a hint of a smile on her face as she waved a hand at An Lin.

She was the silver medallist of the Inter-Sect Games, Tang Shiyuan

Meet you? Meet you, the woman who lost under baffling circumstances and made me lose 350,000 spirit stones!!!?

An Lin felt as if he had received a heavy blow which caused his chest to tighten and his breathing to accelerate.

He had not completely recovered from the effects of using the Origin Energy of the Netherworld yet, so the residual effects coupled with the heavy blows he received here finally pushed him over the edge, and he fell over backward and fainted on the spot

Xuanyuan Cheng:

Tang Shiyuan:

Da Bai and a certain monkey:

Mr. Ans Dao Heart is still not strong enough, it seems. Isnt this just a meeting with a woman he idolizes? Does it really warrant such a strong reaction? Xuanyuan Cheng shook his head and sighed in resignation.

Tang Shiyuans cherry lips were slightly agape and a light blush had crept onto her delicate features.

She did not expect An Lin to be so infatuated with her. Through this episode she could feel An Lins love and admiration!

Amidst the darkness, an unknown amount of time passed.

An Lin slowly awakened, the first thing that entered his vision was Da Bais cute yet imposing face.

How long was I out for? He rubbed his eyes drearily.

Only two hours, woof! Da Bai scratched his huge head. Big Brother An, this isnt like you, isnt it just a meeting with a pretty female cultivator? How were you thrilled to the point of fainting, could this be true love?

True love? True love my ass!

An Lins heart began to throb with pain again at the mention of Tang Shiyuan. Da Bai, dont ever bring this up again and we can still be good friends.

However, Da Bai continued despite An Lins words. I cant do that, Im afraid. Xuanyuan Cheng told me before he left to take you to meet her once you woke up.

An Lins eyes widened. Why would I want to meet her?

Da Bai responded with a sly smile. Arent you interested in her? At least thats what Xuanyuan Cheng and Tang Shiyuan both think

An Lin clutched his chest; he could not handle it his heart was beginning to throb with pain again.

On the Iridescent Cloud Peak, within a bamboo forest.

Tang Shiyuan was brewing some tea, her slim hands were nimble and clever, her movements smooth and unhurried, the whole process was a calming spectacle to behold.

An Lin sat opposite her in a chair, seemingly a little perturbed.

Tang Shiyuan smiled lightly at An Lins discomfort.

Who would have thought that Mr. An was such a shy and pure little boy.

In reality, An Lins distress arose from his inability to think of a good way to inform Tang Shiyuan that he was not interested in her.

He could not be too blunt as that would hurt her feelings.

But then the question arose again, how could he put this delicately?

Tang Shiyuan: Mr. An, do you like tea?

An Lin shook his head solemnly. No.

He finally figured it out. He would use a lack of common interests as a way out!

If they had no common interests, the whole situation would become awkward very soon. That way, Tang Shiyuan would become disinterested in him and he could happily make his retreat.

Genius!

Just as An Lin was praising himself for his quick thinking,

Tang Shiyuans eyes suddenly flashed upon hearing his words.Mr. An is such an honest person!

He did not flatter her just because the tea was personally brewed by her. Instead, he stayed true to himself Such honesty and straightforwardness

Tang Shiyuan did not get mad at all. Instead, her interest was further piqued by An Lins attitude. Then, Mr. An, what are your interests and hobbies?

An Lin continued with a serious expression. Dog-riding!

Hehe, she would definitely be startled by such a weird hobby and then lose all interest in me.

Tang Shiyuan was indeed taken aback by this.

But she recovered very quickly. Are you referring to that cute white dog? Mr. An must really like animals.

Apparently, men who love animals are all very gentle and kind, Mr. An must be no exception to this.

An Lin winced as Tang Shiyuan became more and more absorbed into the conversation. How had she not stormed off in rage yet?

Where was the awkwardness? Could it be the execution of his plan was lacking?
