Chapter 74
Duan Tao and others came out of the restaurant and returned to the floor where Lan Ling Academy was located. A man who looked like an army officer came up to him, saluted Duan Tao and asked, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Duan Tao?"
Duan Tao nodded.
The officer immediately took out an exquisite invitation and presented it to Duan Tao respectfully, "Her Royal Highness the Princess has postponed the reception to tonight for some reasons! Please attend the meeting, sir!"
Duan Tao then remembered the invitation from Princess Xixi in the Imperial Guards Hall a few days ago. He nodded, "Okay! I will definitely arrive on time!"
The officer saluted Duan Tao and said, "If you don't have any instructions, sir, I will resign!" Duan Tao nodded and the officer left.
The fat man immediately came up to Duan Tao and said with an envious look on his face: "Boss, I never thought that the princess would actually take the initiative to make an appointment!" Xiao Yu'er grabbed Duan Tao's clothes with one small hand, raised her other small hand high and shouted excitedly with her little head raised.
Said: "Let me see! Let me see!"
Duan Tao couldn't help pinching Xiao Yu'er's cheek and handed the invitation in his hand to Xiao Yu'er.
As soon as Xiao Yu'er took it, she started to read like a little grown-up, "Master, um, this character is Tian," she bit her fingers in distress, "I don't recognize this character! Go to the house!" Xiao Yu'er had a look on her face.
He said angrily: "Why do you write so many words that people don't recognize? I won't read it!" He handed the invitation back to Duan Tao.
Duan Tao rubbed Yu'er's little head and read the invitation. "Brother, what did the princess say?" The fat man looked hopeful. Meng Duo on the side also looked very curious. Lou Lan looked a little lonely,
Ruolan seemed a little wary.
Duan Tao smiled and said: "Isn't it just a treat?"
That night, Duan Tao went to the princess's mansion in casual clothes without an invitation.
Duan Tao arrived at the gate of the princess mansion and saw many guests filing in. Everyone was dressed up, but Duan Tao was dressed very casually.
Duan Tao walked toward the princess's mansion with his hands in his trouser pockets. He was stopped by a guard guarding the door. The other person shouted unceremoniously: "This is the princess's mansion, you idlers, go away!"
Duan Tao was too lazy to argue with the other party and said: "I'm here to attend the banquet!"
The guard looked Duan Tao up and down and said mockingly: "Boy, if you want to pretend to be a guest, you have to pretend to be a little bit better! Dress like this and you want to sneak in?! Since you are here to attend the banquet, where are the invitations?"
Duan Tao was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that his invitation was still in the hotel. "I didn't bring it with me!"
The guard snorted coldly and shouted: "Boy, don't embarrass yourself here! Get out of here!!" The guests who passed by showed expressions of ridicule.
Duan Tao was about to have an attack, so he immediately held it back. No matter what others said, they had good intentions, so just give her some face!
Duan Tao turned and left. The guard said reluctantly: "Boy, if you want to be a pariah, you must have the consciousness to be a pariah. Don't come out and embarrass yourself!"
Duan Tao couldn't help but burst out in anger, turned around suddenly, and Sen Han's eyes swept over the guards. The guards and guests at the door subconsciously felt a chill in their hearts.
Duan Tao raised his right fist and saw a fireball about half a meter in diameter roaring away. There was a loud bang! A large pit with a diameter of several meters appeared on the ground. Everyone at the door looked disgraced and horrified.
When everyone came to their senses, Duan Tao had disappeared. A moment later, hundreds of guards came out of the gate, supporting the ashen-faced Princess Xixi and an old man in a black cloak.
The princess asked coldly: "What's going on?"
The guard who had just had a conflict with Duan Tao immediately told the princess what had happened.
The black cloak beside the princess said urgently: "This person should be Duan Tao! Princess, you must go and apologize to him in person!"
Princess Xixi, who has an arrogant personality, frowned and said solemnly: "It would be a kindness for me not to pursue his sin of being reckless in front of my house! Why should I apologize!"
The black cloak said solemnly: "Princess, you have to think clearly! The impact of this matter does not seem to be big now, but it will be difficult to say in the future!" Princess Xixi hesitated for a moment and said decisively: "He must first tell me
Apologize!" Seeing that Black Cloak wanted to persuade him again, he said displeasedly: "Teacher, I have already decided! If I, the majestic princess of the empire, bow to him, how dignified will I be in the future?"
Black Cloak felt that what Princess Xixi said was reasonable and fell silent.
Princess Xixi said to the guests watching the excitement: "Everyone! The reception is about to begin, please come in!"
All the guests bowed to Princess Xixi and entered the princess's mansion one after another. People were talking quietly about what happened just now, and they all thought that the young man was too presumptuous.
Seeing Hei Cloak looking at the street in the distance, Princess Xixi couldn't help but ask: "Teacher, let's go in too!"
The black cloak sighed and murmured: "I don't know why? I always have a bad feeling!"
Princess Xixi's heart skipped a beat, "Teacher, you worry too much!"
Duan Tao returned to the hotel.
When Ruolan saw Duan Tao coming back, she couldn't help showing a surprised look, "Brother, why are you back so soon?" At this time, Xiao Yu'er was walking towards here holding a big apple, Xiaopi was like a little follower.
Follow Xiao Yuer.
Duan Tao couldn't help but smile when he saw Xiao Yu'er's appearance, and said to Ruolan: "Come back if you want! What? Don't you want me to come back so soon?"
Ruolan nodded vigorously, her face turning slightly red.
Xiao Yuer came to Duan Tao and said hello: "Brother, are you back?"
Duan Tao nodded, squatted down, and pinched Xiao Yu'er's cheek. Xiao Yu'er pushed Duan Tao's palm away and pouted, "Don't always pinch her! She's not a rag doll!"
Duan Tao smiled and said: "Our Xiao Yuer is so cute!"
Xiao Yuer shook her head happily and said triumphantly: "Of course!"
Two days later, the finals kicked off. Different from the previous preliminaries, there was only one arena on the campus. The arena was several times larger than the previous arena, and many stands were built around it for spectators to watch the competition. The overall shape was oval.
The shape wraps the large arena in the center. The stands are stepped and wooden, and can accommodate 50,000 people watching the game at the same time. It is hard to imagine that a stand of this size was built in just two days. This is simply a miracle.
There is a high fence around the periphery of the stand, with four openings to enter the competition area. Thousands of sergeants are responsible for maintaining order. It should be mentioned that watching the finals is different from watching the preliminaries. If you don’t have a ticket, you will not be able to enter.
Don’t go, all 50,000 tickets were snatched up yesterday. Only a few high-priced tickets in the hands of scalpers are still occasionally available for sale. The high-priced tickets in the hands of scalpers have been sold to 100 gold coins each. This is the original price.
Twice as much, but still in short supply.
The first game of the finals was Duan Tao's. His opponent was neither a student from the four major colleges nor a mercenary, but he was quite powerful. He was a senior magician named Bruce. He was very fat, comparable to some fat people.
.Of course, there is no suspense in this game! You can tell from the handicap opened by the casino, ten to one.
Duan Tao and his opponent Bruce stood at opposite ends of the ring. Bruce looked very nervous and muttered words to his wand from time to time, as if he was praying for something.
The fat man who was watching the game in the stands pointed at Bruce and laughed: "Look at this guy, he is so fat and he still wants to compete with the boss! He really doesn't know the bounds of heaven and earth!"
Mengduo teased: "Fat man, are you talking about yourself?" Loulan and Ruolan couldn't help but laugh. Xiao Yu'er ate popcorn and said loudly: "Brother Mo Lun, are you fatter than him?"
The fat man had a depressed expression on his face. Everyone couldn't help laughing.
Ruolan grabbed Loulan's hand with a nervous look on her face.
Lou Lan comforted him softly: "Don't worry! Big brother will definitely win!" Lou Lan nodded, but the look on his face was still very worried.
The staff announced the start of the game.
Bruce quickly took a few steps back, like a pinball, which caused roars of laughter from the surrounding audience. Duan Tao couldn't help but smile.
Bruce took out two magic scrolls from his arms and threw them towards Duan Tao. The two magic scrolls banged into countless broken stars in mid-air. Almost at the same time, two fist-sized lightning bolts suddenly appeared on Duan Tao's head, shouting.
There was a loud bang. Duan Tao was startled and hurriedly dodged back. Then the two fist-sized flashes hit the place where Duan Tao was standing just now, creating two shallow craters.
Bruce was greatly disappointed, and quickly took out a few more magic scrolls and threw them at Duan Tao, and then began to recite spells.
A wall of fire, a wind knife, and an ice ball whizzed towards Duan Tao one after another. Duan Tao dodged them all easily. He rushed towards Bruce who was chanting a spell, dragging a shadow behind him.
Bruce was taken aback. In his panic, he mispronounced a word. Immediately, a ball of fire suddenly appeared on Bruce's wand and exploded with a bang! The scattered sparks ignited Bruce's magic robe. Bruce immediately panicked and hurriedly
Then he took out a magic scroll from his arms. He thought it was a water system, and quickly threw it towards him. A ball of flames rose up. Fortunately, Bruce was able to dodge quickly, but his butt was ignited. Bruce screamed in the ring.
He started running wildly, his butt on fire, trailing long black smoke.
Duan Tao couldn't help crying or laughing at the scene in front of him. The audience around him had already burst out laughing.
Duan Tao waved his hand and hit Bruce with a water ball, which hit Bruce. The flames finally went out in a burst of green smoke. Bruce lay exhausted on the ring and raised one hand, saying feebly: "I lost!"
Princess Xixi, who was watching the game in the VIP area, couldn't help but smile when she saw such a scene. The VIP area is a few independent spaces separated from the highest part of the stand. It extends outward for more than ten meters like a suspended building, and is connected to the stand.
The rest of the area is completely isolated. Only the extremely distinguished royal family, ministers and aristocratic families are qualified to watch the game here. At this time, Talon wearing a black cloak came in from the outside and came to Princess Xixi...
Princess Xixi glanced at Talon and chuckled: "It's a pity that sir didn't see the good show!"
Talon glanced towards the ring and said solemnly: "Princess, I just received news that Duan Tao already has a wife!"
Princess Xixi was stunned, chuckled, and asked in a funny way: "Teacher, do you want me to marry him?"
Talon shook his head, "Of course not! What I want to talk about is Duan Tao's wife herself! The princess may not know yet, but Duan Tao's wife is very likely to be a god-level powerhouse!"
