300 The Finals Begin

“Cough, cough…”

Lu Benwei almost choked on his own saliva.

“What’s wrong?” Lu Dayong was confused. “No matter what, you have to bring her to meet us before the new year. Otherwise, don’t come back.”

Jiang Xiuqin also agreed. “Also, you young people are full of passion, but you must stick to your bottom line. You must be clear about what you should do and what you shouldn’t do.”

!!

At the same time, Jiang Xiuqin glanced at Lu Benwei and Lu Ziling.

Both knew that Jiang Xiuqin’s words had a hidden meaning. They lowered their heads and ate in silence.

Jiang Xiuqin realized that something was wrong. She felt that the relationship between the siblings was a little stiff.

“Are you two hiding something from me?” she asked.

“No… we don’t.” Lu Benwei decisively denied.

“No.” Lu Ziling echoed. “You see, we have a good relationship.”

Then, Lu Ziling put an arm on Lu Benwei’s shoulder and said, “What kind of conflict can we have?”

Jiang Xiuqin’s words exposed the two’s lies. “Did I say that you two are having a conflict?”

On the side, Lu Dayong added righteously, “No matter what kind of conflict you two had, you two are still family. After your mother and I pass away, you two will be the closest family each other has. I can’t let a small conflict ruin your lives.”

“Dad, Mom, what are you guys talking about?” Lu Ziling stopped Lu Dayong.

Jiang Xiuqin echoed. “Your father and I are so happy that both of you made it to the finals. We’re so happy that we can even wake up from our dreams laughing. Don’t create any siblings conflict behind our backs.”

Lu Benwei and Lu Ziling nodded, and the family happily ate.

That night, Lu Benwei tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. For some reason, he put on his clothes and prepared to go to the hotel’s garden to relax.

However, when he opened the door, he saw Lu Dayong pacing back and forth.

“Dad, you’re still awake?” Lu Benwei asked.

Lu Dayong’s expression turned serious, and he quickly said, “Little Lu, you’re not asleep yet either.”

“I’m fine, I’m just walking around,” Lu Dayong said after a pause.

“Dad, is there something you need me for?” Lu Benwei asked with a black face.

Lu Dayong chuckled and scratched the back of his head. “You found out, hehe…”

“Let’s go, accompany me for a walk,” Lu Dayong said.

Lu Benwei followed him to the garden of the hotel.

The moon was high in the sky, and the cold wind of the winter night was bleak.

“Tell me the truth, did you really have a conflict with your sister?” Lu Dayong asked directly.

Lu Benwei was speechless. Seeing Lu bBenwei’s hesitation, Lu Dayong knew that he was right.

Then, Lu Dayong said, “Is it because of the Giant Kingdom?”

Lu Benwei’s pupils shrank. “Dad, how did you know?”

Lu Dayong sighed and said, “Your Uncle Yan told me everything before he suffered the backlash from the divine fire.”

“But don’t worry, your mother doesn’t know about this,” he added after a pause.

“Alright,” he said.

Lu Dayong waved his hand and said, “I’ve been looking for the giant’s stone tablet for the past few years, but I didn’t expect that you’d find a clue first.”

Lu Dayong patted Lu benwei’s shoulder.

“There’s something you don’t know. Your Uncle Yan and Aunt Xizhi both had divine fire in their bodies, so the divine fire in Ziling’s body is purer. That’s why Ziling’s divine fire may erupt earlier than your Uncle Yan and Aunt Xizhi.”

“How did this happen?” Lu Benwei suddenly panicked.

“It’s not like your father didn’t do anything,” Lu Dayong added.

“Do you know how to relieve the curse of Ziling’s divine fire?” Lu benwei’s eyes lit up.

“Of course, it’s an extreme ice-attribute sacred object.”

Sure enough, Lu Benwei’s guess was right. Previously, he had obtained the Ice Lotus out of this conjecture.

Lu Dayong sighed again. “However, it can only alleviate the pain. If we want to solve it completely, we still need to go to the Giant Kingdom. I’m useless. I’ll only cause trouble for you if I go to the Giant Kingdom.”

“Dad, don’t say that. I’ll make Ziling return to normal,” Lu Benwei said softly.

Lu Dayong sighed deeply and forced a smile. “Good boy, you’ve grown up. Your sister had a conflict with you because she was worried that the Giant Kingdom was dangerous. She was worried about you.”

“I know but I’ll still go. I don’t want to lose Ziling.” Lu Benwei’s eyes were firm.

Lu Dayong laughed silently and patted Lu Benwei’s head.

…

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of the National Class Tournament finals. 80 percent of the Dragon Kingdom’s population was watching the match.

The live audience was even more crowded, shoulder to shoulder, and there were even two or three people sharing a seat.

Before Lu Benwei and Lu Ziling entered the venue, a small incident happened.

“What did you say? Lu Benwei and Lu Ziling?”

“Ah? Is that true?”

This news was like a heavy bomb that spread among the crowd.

“A family of two siblings who entered the finals together. What kind of god could’ve raised this pair of son and daughter?”

...

“Stop it. If my unfilial son can get into Yanjing Hunter University or Zhejiang Hunter University, my family’s grave will be on fire, let alone smoke!”

“Then do you guys think that the siblings will fake the match?”

“It’s hard to say, but one thing is for sure. Both sides will not use their full strength.”

The news had also reached the ears of the tournament organizing committee, and all of the Furious Dragon Legion were shocked.

“Lu Benwei and Lu Ziling from Yanjing Hunter University are brother and sister? That’s not right, the two contestants are from the same family.”

Chu Tianxiong was extremely puzzled.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“And Lu Ziling’s fire attribute is very domineering. I can see the shadow of the fire of god.”

“This isn’t something good.”

“I’ve already found out that Lu Ziling is the adopted daughter of Lu Benwei’s parents. And you’re right. Lu Ziling is the divine fire woman, and she has the divine fire in her body.” His subordinate reminded him.

Chu Tianxiong’s eyes narrowed as he muttered to himself, “How many years has it been since I’ve heard of the divine fire? Could Lu Ziling be the daughter of those two people?”
