After being dragged to the resting area, Ying Ling showed her face again.
She immediately came forward with another towel and a bottle of water, but this time she was kept off by Dian Lun.
Ying Ling was surprised to see how close Dian Lun and Mo Ze Chen were, but it also made her happy to see them this close.
After all, one was the person she saw as her little brother and the other was the person that she wanted to marry. Naturally it would be good if they could have a good relationship with each other.
But before she could say anything, Dian Lun came forward first.
She looked at him with a curious look as he stood in front of her and said, "I like you, will you marry me?"
Ying Ling was completely caught off guard by this as she revealed a look of complete shock.
This was someone that she had treated like a little brother for the longest time and now that he was confessing to her, she wasn't able to process the words that came out of his mouth. She looked at him like had suddenly transformed into an alien.
But eventually, she came back to her senses.
She looked at Dian Lun in silence for a bit before saying, "But you're more like a little brother to me. I just can't see you in that way."
Dian Lun's expression turned a bit sad, but Mo Ze Chen patted him on the back which raised his spirits again.
He turned to look at Mo Ze Chen before turning back to Ying Ling to say, "I'll do my best to change how you look at me. I just want you to know how I feel about you."
Ying Ling couldn't help taking a step back with how strong Dian Lun was coming on.
It wasn't that she was averse to it, she just really didn't see him that way. However, she also didn't want to hurt him, so she didn't reject him then and there.
Seeing that the two of them were just awkwardly standing there, Mo Ze Chen suddenly gave a cough.
Dian Lun seemed to have realized something as he quickly said, "If you have time today, do you want to have dinner together?"
A trace of panic appeared in Ying Ling's eyes when she heard this.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe never expected Dian Lun to be this direct.
She just looked at him in silence before turning to Mo Ze Chen. She handed him the bottle of water and the towel before saying, "These are for you."
Then before giving Dian Lun a chance to speak, she turned and walked off.
Dian Lun was about to chase her, but Mo Ze Chen grabbed him by the shoulder, shaking his head when Dian Lun turned back.
He knew that Ying Ling would certainly have some things that she needed to think through, so if Dian Lun were to follow her, he would just make it worse. It was best to leave her alone first and see how she would react to this.
Whether it was good or bad, there would be ways to handle it.
Not to mention that this wasn't his specialty, so he would have to ask Lulu about this after he got back.
He just hoped that she still wasn't mad about this matter.
Just like this, the first day of the finals came to an end.
There was still another match after this, but that didn't matter to Mo Ze Chen since he was confident that no one would be able to beat him with the trump cards that Lin Fan gave him.
…
In the crowd, Lin Fan had been sitting with the rest of the members of the pet shop in the stand, but when he saw the way Angela was acting, he decided to head to the bathroom.
He left Momonga who finally came with them today to take his place, letting Angela brag about Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai had finally been able to show off in this last match, so Angela didn't hold back.
When Lin Fan left Momonga as his sacrifice, he could feel Momonga's look of betrayal coming from behind him.
Lin Fan leisurely made his way to the bathroom and he was able to find one where there was no one around.
He just wasn't good with public bathrooms and unless it was quiet, he wasn't able to do his business.
He went into one of the stalls because there was someone at the urinals and he started doing his business.
During that time, the other person left and he was the only one left in the bathroom. That was until two people came into the bathroom after him.
When he was about to leave, he suddenly heard voices coming from outside the stall.
Normally he wouldn't have cared, but when he heard the conversation between these voices, he couldn't help knitting his brows.
He didn't push his way out of the stall as he listened to the conversation outside.
"Are you sure that everything is prepared for tomorrow? It doesn't seem like things are going as planned." A first voice said.
A second voice said, "It's fine, I've already made sure that everything and everyone is in place. As soon as the finals start tomorrow, they will make their move. As long as they aren't noticed before then, we won't have a single problem."
The first voice was silent for a bit before saying, "Where did that kid with the tiger come from? I thought that you already investigated all the important participants, why wasn't he on the list?"
The second voice gave a sigh before saying, "I really don't know. I was certain that I had information on everyone, but this kid really came out of nowhere." Then after a pause, he said, "But it's fine. As long as we catch them by surprise, nothing will happen."
The first voice replied, "Hmm, as long as you're positive that nothing will go wrong. You know that both you and I can't handle the consequences that come with failing this mission. The lord will have both of our heads."
The second voice said in a firm tone, "I know, that's why I've already triple checked everything before tomorrow. Just tell your man to be ready to move when the time comes."
The first voice calmly said, "He'll be ready."
There wasn't much else that was said between the two of them as they just silently left the bathroom, heading off in different directions.
Lin Fan had been quick witted and had Brainy release two ants to follow the two of them.
It was clear from their conversation that they were planning on doing something during the finals tomorrow, but before taking care of them, he had to find out who they worked for. So Lin Fan wanted to use the ants to track them to their hideout so he could find who they worked with and who they worked for.
Of course, Lin Fan also wouldn't take care of this personally.
This tournament was one that was organized by the twelve great factions and if there was an incident that happened during this tournament, it would be a great slap to their faces.
So if there was something that was going to happen, naturally it should be taken care of by the twelve great factions.
If Lin Fan was the one that took care of it, it would also be a slap to the twelve great factions since it would mean that they weren't capable of stopping these incidents themselves. They had to rely on someone like Lin Fan to wipe their butts for them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStill, Lin Fan couldn't help wondering who was able to plot under the noses of the twelve great factions like this without being caught.
Perhaps there was someone powerful backing them?
Or perhaps it was one of the twelve great factions?
But then what would be their goal?
Still, that was all for later when he found out who these people were and what their plan was.
The one thing that Lin Fan was certain of right now was that these people were either idiots or they were amateurs…
Why would they choose to discuss their plan in a public bathroom like this?
Even if it seemed empty, why didn't they check the stalls first?
This all seemed sloppy and really drained on Lin Fan's excitement and motivation to stop this.
Still, he had to do it since he owed the Hunters Organization.
He would just report this to them tonight and let them inform the other twelve great factions.
When Lin Fan got back, he saw that Mo Ze Chen had already arrived and he was currently explaining everything that had happened to Lulu.
She had a calm look on her face, but Lin Fan could tell that she was enjoying watching him like this.
Sometimes, Lin Fan couldn't help feeling that Lulu really had a dark side to her. It was just a good thing that it only came up when she was with Mo Ze Chen.
p
After arriving back at the store, Lin Fan let everyone else do their own thing as he contacted old man Qiao.
Once he had contacted him, Lin Fan set up a meeting with old man Qiao at night at a restaurant.
The others also wanted to come, but Lin Fan made them stay as he headed off to the restaurant alone.
The night went by like this and soon it was the day of the final match.
