Back at his own manor, Lu Li made Qian Huanhan a cup of strong tea. Qian Huanhan felt much more refreshed after drinking it.
"Well, what is it?"
Seeing that Lu Li was sitting there emotionlessly, Qian Huanhan scratched his head in embarrassment. "Brother Li, did I drink too much?
Did you do anything too embarrassing just now? "
Lu Li rolled his eyes. "I don't know how you embarrassed yourself at the banquet.
In any case, you've already been very embarrassed after coming out. I almost left you behind just now because standing with you is very embarrassing for me … "
"Well, well ~"
Qian Huanhan touched his burning cheeks and said in annoyance, "I made Lady Dan mad.
She provoked me at the banquet and encouraged a Young Lady Qi to have a drinking contest with me.
Lou Shi 'er's wine is very good. I felt delirious after one jar.
That Young Lady Qi is a good drinker. She is still calm after one jar … "
"Idiot, you have been fooled ~"
Lu Li was speechless. Qian Huanhan did not seem to have an EQ.
How could he not see through such a simple trick?
That Young Lady Qi must have done something. Qian Huanhan was so silly that he fell into the trap.
Maybe it was Lady Dan's plan to humiliate Qian Huanhan.
"Fooled?"
Qian Huanhan walked around for a while. "It is possible. Lady Dan and Young Lady Qi were flirting with each other. I think they were whispering to each other for a while …"
"No!"
Qian Huanhan slammed the table. "I must get back at them. I must have been humiliated.
Damn it! My reputation is ruined just like this. "
"You're not wise at all!"
Lu Li sighed. "Alright. Don't think about it. I will help you when there is a chance. Now, let's talk about the competition between craftsmen."
"Competition?
What kind of competition? "
Qian Huanhan blinked his eyes in confusion. Then he smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Li, forget it. I've already embarrassed myself enough today. I don't want to embarrass myself tomorrow.
Although yours is very powerful, there are many experts this time. Our meager strength is still not enough. "
"Do you want to be famous?"
Lu Li stared at Qian Huanhan and said, "Do you want to be famous?
Do you want countless beautiful ladies to adore you?
Do you want the ladies on the beauty list to look at you in a different light?
Do you want to go back to the Artifact Pavilion and bully Miss Dan?
Do you want to vent your anger? "
Lu Li's words excited Qian Huanhan. All the tipsiness was gone. His eyes glowed as he said, "Yes, of course!
Brother Li, I'll listen to you. I'll do whatever you say. "
"Alright then!"
Lu Li nodded and whispered to Qian Huanhan. Qian Huanhan nodded like a chick pecking at grains, acting as if Lu Li was the leader.
…
At daybreak the next day, Qian Huanhan and Lu Li left. They went to Patriarch Gu and asked to join the tournament.
Patriarch Gu knew Qian Huanhan's capabilities very well. Seeing Lu Li winking at him, Patriarch Gu knew it was Lu Li's idea.
Patriarch Gu did not understand why Lu Li had to be so high-profile.
Since it was Lu Li's request, Patriarch Gu did not ask too many questions. He nodded and asked Patriarch Li to make the arrangements.
Needless to say, Lady Dan had requested to go to the tournament. The patriarchs did not stop her.
After all, Lady Dan was talented in forging artifacts. It would be beneficial for her to take part in such tournaments.
Patriarch Li went to the Craftsmen's Sect to make the arrangements. An hour later, he came back to inform everyone that they could go.
Dragon Xuesha was not interested in the tournament. However, since Qian Huanhan had entered the inner city and was going to the tournament, Dragon Xuesha's interest was piqued. He wanted to go and watch.
Several patriarchs showed Lady Dan, Qian Huanhan, and Lu Li to a plaza in the inner city. There would be over a thousand participants in the tournament. Usually, a hall would not be able to accommodate all of them. Craftsmen's Sect would always choose to hold the tournament in the plaza.
"Qian Huanhan, you disgraced the Chamber of Relics yesterday …"
Lady Dan approached Qian Huanhan and said with mockery. Qian Huanhan was frightened but he did not lose his temper. After all, Dragon Xuesha and the patriarchs were in front of him.
"Hmm ~"
Lady Dan was even more proud of Qian Huanhan's silence. She threw a glance at Lu Li and snorted, "How can people like you go to the tournament?
Do you think the Chamber of Relics has not been disgraced enough? "
Lu Li said nothing. Qian Huanhan wanted to argue but Lu Li winked at him. Qian Huanhan pretended that he did not hear anything.
When they arrived at the plaza, Lu Li took a look from the distance. He was relieved.
There were many small black towers in the plaza. Clearly, they were there for people to forge artifacts.
What worried Lu Li the most was that someone would find out that he was helping Qian Huanhan forge artifacts. What if he used the Wicked Bead or Bloodvine and someone with ulterior motives would target him? The consequences would be dire.
Patriarch Gu noticed Lu Li's expression from the corner of his eyes. He said, "Lu Li, do what you can. Nobody in the Tower of Relics can spy on you.
This is the rule of the past generations. After all, everyone has their own unique skills. The Tower of Relics is built to protect the participants' secret skills so that they will not be disturbed. "
Lu Li could put his mind at ease. Patriarch Gu added, "But there is one thing you must remember. You can only use the materials in the Tower of Artifact. If you use your own materials, you will be found out and you will be accused of cheating!"
Lu Li nodded. They stepped into the plaza.
The plaza was surrounded by auditorium seats. Many had already taken their seats. As far as the eye could see, there were at least tens of thousands of people here.
Lu Li stood behind Qian Huanhan, keeping a low profile. He was wearing a cyan robe and had restrained his energy. He seemed to be "nervous". He was pretending to be a servant.
"Lou Shi 'er and Holy Princess are here!"
He took a quick glance and noticed Lou Shi 'er and Holy Princess. They looked at each other and communicated with each other through their eyes. Neither of them seemed to be in a strange mood.
Many warriors were standing in the plaza. All of them were stronger than prefecture warriors. The immortals on the list were everywhere.
The auditorium seats were packed with powerful warriors. Many mighty warriors from the Divinity were here. Dozens of super mighty warriors like Dragon Xuesha were here as well.
"Qian Huanhan, you are at No. 370!
Jiang Ruodan, you are at No. 371. "
A chief steward came and gave Qian Huanhan a token. Qian Huanhan showed Lu Li to a Tower of Relics.
Lu Li pretended to be low-key. He looked tense, like a bumpkin that had never seen the world.
He had been observing secretly, trying to find the person that haunted his dreams.
Unfortunately …
Lu Li took a look at the tens of thousands of people at the plaza. He did not see that familiar person. He was a bit disappointed.
Standing by Tower No. 370, Lu Li and Qian Huanhan waited quietly. Jiang Ruodan had been looking at them with mockery.
Every now and then, she would look at Lou Shi 'er who was in the auditorium. When Lou Shi' er looked at her, she would turn away as if nothing had happened.
"Lady Dan, you have no chance!"
