Chapter 540 The Dark Side

A round of points competition ended soon. The top two of the 256 groups have been decided. Ye Fan and the other four passed relatively easily. Ye Fan voted one round and Ma Xiaoxue lost a small game and was second in the group. To qualify, Fatty Li and Ning Mengnian both achieved complete victories and qualified first in the group.

The first quarter of the game ended, and soon the second round of groups also appeared. There were 512 people in groups of 32 people, divided into sixteen groups in total. Each group was still based on points to determine the top two, that is The top thirty-two.

"It was so intense all of a sudden." Looking at the group list in his hand, Fatty Li scratched his head a little, "There are nine S-levels in our group."

"There are fourteen in my group." Ma Xiaoxue replied, but at this time, Ning Mengnian was a little helpless: "I am in the same group as Ye Fan."

"The elimination rate in the second round of points competition is extremely high. Passing this round is more than half of the success. It is enough to become famous after this competition." Ye Fan was calm, but looking at the densely packed S-level names on the list in his hand, he still felt I couldn't help but frown, "Twenty-four S-levels and one SS-level. Are all the top students from other schools arranged to be in my group?"

"Is there any special significance to grouping like this?" Ning Mengnian was a little confused. "Even if you are very popular, every venue is full, so there is no need for special arrangements to increase your popularity."

"The venue doesn't need it, but the casino does." Ye Fan replied, glancing at Ning Mengnian, "During the league, there were hundreds of underground casinos in Kyoto every day. I don't know how big the turnover will be."

"Guess how many gamblers have lost their fortunes just because I gave in?"

"This." Ning Mengnian obviously didn't think of this and was stunned. "You mean, it's the league and the casino..."

"If it weren't for official permission, those underground casinos wouldn't be able to open." Ye Fan replied, without saying anything else, he just waved his hand and walked out of the venue.

However, Ning Mengnian and others felt the deep meaning of Mark's words. After thinking about it for a while, they felt a little frightened.

"Hello, principal."

At the entrance, Ye Fan and others passed by the Ningxia River and looked at each other from a distance. Ye Fan greeted them politely.

"Yes." Ning Xiachuan nodded, glanced around the people, and nodded, "You all performed very well, keep up the hard work."

"Okay, principal, go to bed early. It's getting cold at night." Ye Fan nodded in response and cupped his hands towards Ningxia River.

"Teacher's kindness breeds kindness." Fatty Li followed Ye Fan out of the venue and was a little curious, "Ye Fan, what do you think Principal Ning is doing here every day these days? Do you really come to watch the game?"

"Principal Ning doesn't have that much time to spare in a day." Ye Fan replied, "Maybe he is testing the court's bottom line. Today is already the fifth day. No one from above has come to take care of him. He is just patting the guards and watching. The two sides are engaged in a war. Pull."

"Why don't the superiors ignore him?" Fatty Li asked.

"It's wrong to take care of it, and it's wrong to ignore it." Ye Fan shook his head, "The court will hold him accountable. If Principal Ning takes the opportunity to cause trouble, it will be difficult to handle."

"If you don't care, he is likely to take further actions." Ning Mengnian added, seeming to understand the meaning of Ye Fan's words, "Maybe he is just at the meeting today, but tomorrow, he may be at the court."

"It's so difficult..." After listening to the two people's explanations, Fatty Li had a headache. "So, the boss is in a dilemma now?"

"That's more or less the case. Those human race elders and all the forces know that they have not expressed their stance on Ningxia Chuan. Now, they are just waiting and watching." Ye Fan replied, rarely giving a clear explanation to Fatty Li.

"In fact, in the past, such things were not difficult to handle. As long as many elders resisted when Principal Ning appeared at the meeting, the principal would have no choice but to retreat under huge pressure. As far as I know, in the past time, The higher-ups have been using pressure from all parties to suppress Principal Ning.”

"But it's different now. Principal Ning succeeded in conferring the title of king. The situation has changed. All parties have their own ideas. Under such circumstances, they no longer suppress the principal for the imperial court. Instead, they have the idea of ​​​​seeing the entanglement between the principal and the imperial court. "

"This method is actually very similar to the attitude of the local families towards me when I first went to Nange City in Nanchuan. It's just that they have more energy than those local families."

"So you say they are raising a tiger for trouble." Wang Lingxi said, seeming to have understood: "Such measures are extremely risky. If the court successfully suppresses the principal, it will be fine, but if it goes wrong and the court suffers heavy losses..."

"Then the real tiger that is the principal will be released." Ye Fan replied, with a hint of depth in his eyes: "At that time, everything will be really messed up."

"But does this do any good to these people who are just watching from the sidelines?" Ning Mengnian frowned. As a person who grew up in a greenhouse in Kyoto, he subconsciously still has a sense of closeness and belonging to the imperial court: "The imperial court is in danger. For the human race, It’s the biggest disaster, shouldn’t we try our best to prevent it?”

"This disaster is for ordinary people." Ye Fan waved his hand.

"The existence of the imperial court is not only stability, but also rules. As long as it exists, everyone will always be bound by the rules."

…

It was late at night, in the hotel, there was a knock on the door, and two men in black stood in front of the door furtively, looking left and right.

Crunch.

The door opened quickly, and Mark appeared, looking at the two people at the door: "Why are there others?"

"Let's go in first." One of them was Luo Xiaodan. At this time, he lowered his voice and was about to walk in. The person behind him also followed closely.

Ye Fan did not stop him, but just looked at the person behind Luo Xiaodan, frowning slightly.

Click.

After entering the room, Luo Xiaodan put down a glass bottle without any nonsense. The bottle was swaying with blood. "We agreed."

"Yeah." Ye Fan nodded and put the bottle away casually. He did not rush to drive people away. He looked at the person next to Luo Xiaodan, "You came to me to talk about other things?"

"Indeed." Luo Xiaodan agreed, and then looked at the person next to him. The man was obviously afraid of something. He pulled his hat down very low, lowered his head, and his face could not be seen clearly.

The man did not speak, and Luo Xiaodan lowered his voice, "Ye Fan, in the second round, can you let him off a little more..."

"Let off your companion?" As soon as these words came out, Ye Fan immediately understood Luo Xiaodan's intention. A playful smile appeared on his face, and he sat down casually.

"What is your companion's talent?"

"This..." Luo Xiaodan hesitated and looked at the man, but the man shook his head. Luo Xiaodan could only say awkwardly: "I can't say this."

"If I can't say it, how can I know if he is qualified to pay my chips."

Ye Fan shook his head and was about to order him to leave. "If that's the case, there's no need to talk."

"Don't!" Luo Xiaodan answered hurriedly, looking at his companion anxiously, "You should say something."

The companion didn't speak, but at this time, Ye Fan's direct refusal was obviously powerful. He hesitated for a while, although he didn't speak, but he stretched out his hands.

The hands were white, and they looked as gentle as jade against the black robe.

Seeing that the man was moving, Ye Fan raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything. Soon, the black-robed man gradually clenched his fist, and then light shone from his hands.

Two balls of light, each with its own color

"Dual beast control talent." At a glance, Ye Fan understood the identity of the person in front of him, "So it's you."

Without responding, the black-robed man just dispersed the light and retracted his hand under the black robe.

"Mr. Fan, look at this..." Luo Xiaodan asked carefully.

"Okay." Ye Fan nodded, looked at the black-robed man, and said slowly: "Sixteen to two, your strength should be enough to advance?"

"The pressure in the death group is too great, it's hard to guarantee. Winning scores three points and losing two points. Losing one more game doubles the risk." Luo Xiaodan spoke up, and then said: "But Brother Fan, don't worry, we won't embarrass you, as long as you let it go in the last game."

"There's no problem with lifting." Ye Fan nodded, as if he agreed, but soon, he showed a slightly meaningful smile.

"You, can you guarantee that you will meet me in the last game?"
