In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.

In the past ten days, Liu Hao has been in seclusion in the cave and has no idea about the outside world.

And as soon as the ten days passed, Liu Hao came out of confinement.

However, he did not go anywhere else, he just opened the mountain door of the cave and waited there.

This day was the day he and Hermione made an appointment to go to the Fire Spirit Sect together.

He didn't know where Hermione was, but he knew that Hermione would come to him, so he waited in the cave.

Whoosh!

As soon as the sun came out, a figure came very quickly and landed outside the cave.

This person is not Hermione, but Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang saw the mountain gate open and wanted to go in.

However, before taking action, Liu Hao had already walked out.

"Where's Hermione?"

When Liu Hao arrived at Zhang Liang's side, there was no Hermione around. He couldn't help but frown and asked, "Why didn't she come over?"

Zhang Liang replied, "She wants to participate in the sect competition. She said she will wait until the sect competition is over before taking action."

Liu Hao nodded and said, "Oh, then I will wait for him."

Zhang Liang saw that Liu Hao really had no intention of participating in the sect competition, so he said, "She also said that you have to participate in the sect competition anyway."

"..."

Liu Hao frowned and said, "When did I say that I would participate in the sect competition?"

"You said before that you would participate in the battle for resources and get back the hand that is owed to you."

Zhang Liang said, "As for the number of places to participate in the resource competition, our Longyang Sect only has ten places!"

He added, "So, you must be among the top ten elite disciples in order to be qualified to participate in the resource competition."

Liu Hao asked, "Does it have to be a competition?"

"This is the rule, no one is exempt."

Zhang Liang replied, "Including Hermione, who is no longer a disciple of the Elite Hall, she will also participate."

Liu Hao didn't want to participate in this sect competition.

For a moment, I felt dizzy.

However, since the rules were set like this, he also knew that it would be impossible to break them just for him alone.

He said, "Can I just participate in one competition?"

"this……"

Zhang Liang frowned when he heard this.

"I will just pick one of the top ten disciples to fight."

Liu Hao said, "Based on my credit for risking my life to save Hermione twice, I believe that the master of Longyang Sect will not refuse, right?"

Hearing this, Zhang Liang's brows furrowed even deeper.

Seeing that Zhang Liang was silent, Liu Hao frowned even deeper.

His face also condensed slightly, "What? Does the leader of Longyang Sect have other ideas?"

Then he said, "Or maybe he doesn't take us seriously at all?"

"No."

Zhang Liang shook his head and said, "If he didn't take us seriously, he wouldn't have given us so much convenience. However, this matter is not a trivial matter after all, and I'm not sure he will agree, so...

You have to ask him before you can be sure."

In fact, Zhang Liang was actually unwilling to talk about this matter.

Because, he already had some opinions about He Tianlei in his heart.

He was not willing to owe He Tianlei any more favors.

But, as Liu Hao said, he saved Hermione twice.

Based on this merit, He Tianlei would definitely not refuse if he made such a request.

However, at this time, he no longer trusted He Tianlei, so he was not sure that He Tianlei would definitely agree.

Therefore, there was no immediate response.

"Then you go and ask first."

Liu Hao said, "I'll go over after it's confirmed."

Zhang Liang asked, "What if he disagrees?"

"If he really doesn't agree..."

Liu Hao said, "Then you tell him that I can participate in the sect competition, but anyone who fights with me has to sign a life and death certificate. I don't know when it will end. I only know that you will live and die until you get on the stage."

, life and death are determined by fate.”

Hearing this, Zhang Liang's expression also changed slightly.

However, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Okay, you wait."

After saying that, Zhang Liang turned around and left.

…

After Zhang Liang left, he did not go to find He Tianlei.

Instead, he found Hermione directly.

Ten days ago, He Tianlei came to him and explained the matter clearly to him.

Saying that there was some misunderstanding before, he promised that similar misunderstandings would never happen again in the future.

Originally, Zhang Liang felt quite comfortable.

I feel that since He Tianlei admitted his mistake, the matter will be over.

But, later, He Tianlei told him that Hermione had promised him to marry Wang Zhongyun of the Fire Spirit Sect.

The Huo Ling Sect has also agreed.

However, this matter must be kept secret for the time being, and it cannot be officially made public until the battle for resources is over.

After hearing this, Zhang Liang understood in his heart.

Hermione agreed to marry Wang Zhongyun as a condition for He Tianlei to apologize to them.

In other words, if Hermione had not agreed to the marriage, perhaps He Tianlei would not come to him.

Of course, this is not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that He Tianlei's purpose in telling him the news was undoubtedly to hope that Liu Hao would stop pestering Hermione.

Obviously, she was still guarding against him.

Therefore, Zhang Liang was completely disappointed with He Tianlei.

At that time, he didn't say anything, turned around and left.

Originally, he planned to leave with Liu Hao.

However, Hermione found him.

Hermione first apologized to him, and then said very sincerely, "I know that Junior Brother Liu Hao doesn't mean that to me. His purpose of saving me is only because of you and the Longyang Sect."

"I also know that my father's speculations have hurt you."

"But, I don't want you to leave Longyang Sect."

"I don't want you to tell Junior Brother Liu Hao about this."

"Because I don't want Junior Brother Liu Hao to think that we are all ungrateful people."

"My father cares about me, so although his guess is a bit excessive, it is out of protection for me after all. You can blame him, but I can't really blame him."

"Junior brother Liu Hao is a very sensitive person. Elder Zhang Liang, if you tell him about this, he will definitely be very disappointed with us."

"Of course, I also know that you must be very disappointed."

"I have no other request, I just hope that you don't leave before the battle for resources, and you don't tell Junior Brother Liu Hao about this."

"After the battle for resources, I will personally tell Junior Brother Liu Hao about the matter. At that time, if you want to leave or stay, I won't force you."

It was precisely because of Hermione's rebuttal that Zhang Liang stayed.

Therefore, at this time, he did not go to He Tianlei, but chose to go to Hermione.
