Chapter 835 Playing dirty tricks? How can you outmaneuver a fox?
"Holy crap! What kind of luck do I have?!" Xu Sanshi stared blankly at the lottery board, where the words "Sun and Moon Team" were written in big letters under the number four.
The competition organizing committee staff looked at Xu Sanshi with twitching lips. How could this person's hands be so fast? They couldn't even press a button as fast as him.
A high-ranking member of the organizing committee glanced at the draw results of the Sun and Moon team. Although their draw did not go through a large screen, the surface of the box would display the numbers of the drawn balls. At this time, many team representatives had already come over to draw their own lots.
The outcome is irreversible; we have no choice but to give up.
The senior members of the organizing committee glared at the staff member in charge of the draw, and then entered the draw results for the Tangmen team into the big screen. Next, they could only hope that the Shrek team would also draw a top-ten result.
As the drawing of lots began again, Feng Shiyi perked up slightly.
Ye Nanxiao had given her a heads-up, so Feng Shiyi was careful and made sure to use some connections when Aodu delivered the competition product orders.
When it was Shrek Academy's turn to draw lots, Qiu'er held a string of candied hawthorns in her hand, slowly reached into the lottery box, and pretended to rummage through it.
Sitting in the audience, Feng Shiyi narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly as she saw the staff member holding the lottery box quietly reach behind it.
"This person is trying to cheat."
A small controller appeared in her hand, and Feng Shiyi pressed the button on it.
Qiu'er seemed to sense something, and her sharp gaze swept over the staff member, making the latter tremble in fright.
The golden dragon's gaze was no joke.
Qiu'er snorted coldly and took the lottery ball out of the box.
The staff member glanced at the lottery ball in Qiu'er's hand and was about to announce the result he had secretly set, but with that glance, he noticed that the number on the lottery ball seemed a little wrong.
"The draw results for the Shrek team are..." he said, but suddenly felt uncertain. He turned his head to look again, and then froze.
"District 2, Number 13!?"
"What?!" The faces of the competition's senior executives all changed.
They had secretly planned to pit Shrek Academy against the Tang Sect, so that they would weaken each other.
The lottery box was specially designed with a mechanism, so why did this happen?!
Feng Shiyi coldly observed the lottery results on the high platform and sneered, "I'm not joking with products from the Aodu Chamber of Commerce."
"Deng Cao! What's the situation over there?!"
An official in charge of organizing the competition immediately questioned the senior members of the organizing committee.
Deng Cao, the highest-ranking official in charge of the competition organizing committee, looked extremely grim. He also wanted to know what had happened. He had repeatedly instructed the staff in charge of the draw to make sure that the Shrek people fought an internal war to weaken their strength, but in reality, it had failed.
"I'm so sorry, Team Leader Li, it seems there was a problem with one of the staff. I'll go and handle it right away!" Deng Cao replied quickly.
"Damn it! The draw is over! What use are you now?!"
Deng Cao was thoroughly scolded and, with a livid face, went to the lottery box below.
"You go down first, find someone else to continue hosting." Deng Cao dismissed the staff member who had initially been in charge of the lottery and replaced him with someone else.
Backstage, Deng Cao glared at the staff member. "Speak up, what's going on? If you don't answer properly, you'll lose your head!"
The staff member immediately knelt down in fear, his body trembling uncontrollably, stammering, "I...I...I don't know!"
Deng Cao was furious and had no time to listen to the stutterer. He slapped the staff member on the head, channeling a layer of soul power into him.
"Speak quickly!"
The staff member immediately stopped stammering and hurriedly said, "I don't know! I clearly pressed the button on the lottery box and replaced the prepared lottery balls with the ones that were already in place, but for some reason, the Shrek team still got lottery balls from other areas!"
Upon hearing this, Deng Cao frowned deeply. "Could it be that something's wrong with the equipment from the Aodu Chamber of Commerce? That shouldn't be the case; it was working perfectly fine before."
The gold-medal reputation that Ye Nanxiao had instructed Li Yuanren to build at all costs proved its worth at this moment.
Products from Aodu are guaranteed to be of the highest quality.
This slogan has been deeply imprinted in the minds of the people of Mingdu.
Therefore, Deng Cao began to doubt his subordinates.
No matter how annoyed Deng and Cao were, the order of the draw had already been decided. If they went up at this point to say that the order of the draw didn't count, it would seem too deliberate and arouse suspicion.
They swallowed this bitter pill.
After the lottery was over, Deng Cao went up and checked the lottery box himself. However, by then, Feng Shiyi had already put the remote control away, so Deng Cao naturally couldn't find anything.
The inspection yielded no results; the lottery box was fine. Deng Cao returned home disappointed with the results and received another scolding.
Pressure always comes down from the layer above to the layer below.
When the test results reached Xu Tianran, he nodded expressionlessly and waved for them to get lost.
Looking down at the numerous participating teams through the special glass, Xu Tianran's face showed a hint of disdain. These teams were not worth mentioning.
My gaze shifted and lingered for a moment in the Shrek team's waiting area.
Among the Shrek team members, only the female member with pink and white gradient hair could catch Xu Tianran's attention.
Qiu'er, with her outstanding strength and stunning appearance, stirred something in Xu Tianran's heart.
"How does the Golden Dragon Martial Soul compare to the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon?"
Two wisps of purple flame suddenly appeared in Xu Tianran's eyes. He propped himself up, lowered his head, and let out a series of low growls.
"If I eat her, will I be able to evolve?"
Xu Tianran stared with his vertical pupils, his eyes reflecting Qiu'er's figure, his half-dragon face filled with drooling.
"However, if we could unite, my descendants would be even more powerful! Ten times, a hundred times more powerful than they are now! What a pity!"
Xu Tianran, having pulled his thoughts back, regained his composure. Suddenly, he remembered that the Shrek Academy application materials stated that the girl's name was Ye Qiu'er, and that she was Ye Nanxiao's younger sister.
Xu Tianran leaned back in his chair, resting his head on the armrest with his right hand. "Sister? Interesting. Ye Nanxiao's previous information stated that this person is an orphan and has no family relationship with anyone."
"How did a little sister suddenly appear?"
"Interesting, you've found another weakness."
Xu Tianran's burning gaze seemed to pierce through the glass, aiming to ignite Ye Nanxiao, who was sitting in the Tang Clan's waiting area.
The latest novel is first published here!
Tang Clan's waiting area.
When Xu Sanshi brought back the lottery results, Tang Ya was so angry that she wanted to grab a handful of dragon whisker needles and stab Xu Sanshi in the face.
Sun and Moon Team, they're going head-to-head with Sun and Moon Team!
If this ends in a lose-lose situation, will the rest of the matches even be able to continue?
Their Tang Clan doesn't have enough candidate members!
Xu Sanshi said with a bitter face, "I was afraid that guy who drew the lots would cheat! So I took advantage of his inattention and pulled out a ball!"
"So it's the Sun & Moon team! My luck has failed!"
Beibei slapped Xu Sanshi on the back. "Sanshi, not only is your face black, but your hands are too!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Sanshi's face darkened even more.
Huo Yuhao stepped in to mediate, "Alright, alright, let them draw their cards. We'll have to face them sooner or later anyway. Even if we don't win, it'll be good for the academy to gather intelligence!"
Tang Ya nestled in Bei Bei's arms, wiping her eyes and feigning tears, "Why is our Tang Clan so unlucky! If we can't win this battle, how are we going to sell our soul tools? We might as well roast Xu Sanshi and sell him for turtle jelly!"
Xu Sanshi hugged his shoulders, took two steps back in alarm, and said, "Nan Xiao wanted to capture me to make turtle jelly, fine, but you want to too?! That's terrifying!"
Ye Nanxiao often clamored to drag Xu Sanshi into making turtle jelly.
Huo Yuhao continued, "Our upcoming battles will definitely make the Tang Sect's soul tools shine!"
Wang Dong'er blinked her big eyes and asked, "If we fight to the death, there's still Ye Fox, right? Sister Xiaoya, you should have registered Ye Fox, right?"
Tang Ya, who was pretending to cry, suddenly perked up and gave an OK sign.
"Of course! How could our professional Tang Clan team be without Ye Fox? I personally watched as the application form was submitted!" Tang Ya said proudly.
Beibei reached out and ruffled Tang Ya's hair, smiling helplessly, "If you keep doing this, Nanxiao will be chasing me all over the city!"
Mr. Bei was quite helpless. How could his own little wife use him as bait in front of a fox?
Tang Ya blinked upon hearing this, a sly smile appearing on her face. "It's alright, Nan Nan handed in the application form herself, I saw it with my own eyes!"
Beibei chuckled, probably because she had witnessed it firsthand, and it was Tang Ya who had asked Jiang Nannan to hand it over.
"With Leaf Fox as a reserve member? Great! Are we still afraid of the Sun and Moon Team?" Wang Dong'er cheered.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Since Ye Nanxiao was there, they still had a great chance of winning.
Ye Nanxiao acted like a stabilizing force, calming the restless hearts of everyone.
"What if, I mean, what if Brother Nanxiao refuses to go up then?" Xiao Xiao asked.
Although Ye Nanxiao usually smiles and acts carefree with them, he is also stubborn. Once he gets angry, he is the kind of person who can't be pulled back by even a bull.
"What's there to be afraid of! Nan Nan is here! Besides, it was Nan Nan who suggested this idea, which means Nan Xiao approved of it." Tang Ya said with a smile.
If Ye Nanxiao hadn't given his consent, Jiang Nannan wouldn't have helped Tang Ya, no matter how close she was to Tang Ya.
"Then let's do our best!" Tang Ya put one hand on her hip and extended the other hand into a fist in front of her.
"Of course!"
"Tang Clan! Victory is certain!"
When Ye Nanxiao contacted Xiao Ye No. 4 and arrived at the competition venue with Jiang Nannan, the Tang Clan members had already finished their cheering and stepped onto the competition stage one after another with their heads held high.
