152 They Predicted Our Involvement
In the distance, a wisp of black flame appeared in front of Xu Yuan.
The Red-Eyed Black Dragon was reporting the recent developments. “Your Majesty, I didn’t even get to implement the plan yet.” His voice was a little sad.
When Su Wan and the others heard this, they glanced at each other.
After a while, the White Dragon Saint couldn’t hold it in anymore. “These Light-Types aren’t that stupid, it seems,” he said. “They predicted that someone might be conspiring with us from there, but they got the wrong person.”
“We didn’t even get to do anything,” said Lord Lina sadly. “Are they going to blame us for everything?”
Before this, with her SSS-class hero, the Dark Enchanter, her journey as a Lord had been very smooth. Who knew her life would go downhill after participating in the tournament? Or was it because of Su Wan that she had attracted so much rotten luck to her side?
First, she was ambushed by Gadar and he hit her on her head. Then, her own hero had practically deserted her. Now, even before they got the chance to implement their plan, the other Lords were already blaming them for everything.
None of them had any further ideas. They all glanced at Xu Yuan. Everything depended on Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan, on the other hand, yawned. “Let’s just see what happens next. There is no hurry.”
Xu Yuan wanted to observe the situation on Snow Mountain first. He wanted to see if the Hydra would really fight the Light-Types.
At this moment, at the peak of Snow Mountain, the Light Mage tried to explain the whole situation to the Hydra. “The Overlord Su Wan is very powerful. She is also very cunning. Perhaps you have been deceived by her too? If we fight among ourselves, the only one who will benefit from this is Su Wan.”
The Light Mage explained everything in detail. She didn’t want to face the Hydra head-on. It was even ridiculous to think about.
They were just following a procedure to contact the remaining Lords to seek an alliance. It was inexplicable for the Hydra to hate them for no reason at all!
In the end, the Light Mage, the Starlight Swordsmen, and the Rainbow Pegasus tried their best to persuade him. Only then did the nine-headed snake and its Lord, Aiur, leave.
Lord Aiur and the Hydra weren’t scared. However, if the situation really was as the Light Mage described…
There was a strong and mysterious enemy. If they fought among themselves, only that enemy would benefit. That was something that the nine-headed snake could not accept.
After much thought, he and his Lord finally decided to leave and watch the show from the sidelines.
The Light Mage wiped the cold sweat off her forehead and heaved a sigh of relief when the Hydra left.
“The madman is finally gone.”
The Starlight Swordsman believed that the three Light-Type heroes had nothing to fear when it came to the nine-headed snake. But the problem was that Su Wan and other Lords were still lurking in the dark.
If they fought among themselves, it would only benefit Su Wan and her team.
“Since the two of you haven’t left, does that mean that you’re thinking of working with us?” The Light Mage looked at the Red-Eyed Black Dragon and the Thorn Fairy.
The two Lords nodded. The Lord of the Thorn Fairy was especially willing to join hands with them. She had heard of Su Wan before, and listening to the Light Mage made her feel even more uneasy.
Based on what she had heard, Su Wan was formidable. She even forced other Lords and heroes to abide by her side. On top of that, there was the arrogant Lord Aiur. The Lord of the Thorn Fairy couldn’t deal with any of them alone. So, she decided that this alliance was important for her,
As for Lord Bevin, he nodded. However, he had his own agenda for joining them. He definitely wanted to join them, but he would just contribute minimally.
The sun rose and shone on the Snow Mountain.
The Light-Type heroes felt their power surge with the sunlight.
“Since everyone has already decided to form an alliance, why don’t we use this spot as the meeting place?”
“Let’s come up with a plan to deal with Su Wan!”
Everyone began to chatter and discuss. Their discussion and their plans already reached Xu Yuan via the Red-Eyed Black Dragon.
“Their plan is nothing but trash,” said the White Dragon Saint.
After hearing them, the White Dragon Saint wanted to laugh at their stupidity.
Everyone present started discussing how to make use of the current information to trick the Light-Types.
Su Wan walked to Xu Yuan’s side. She gently shook him awake. “Xu Yuan, please don’t sleep,” she said. “You should also share your opinion.”
Su Wan didn’t call Xu Yuan “Scammer Xu” for nothing! He was an expert in tricking others.
Su Wan had been tricked by him multiple times. He was really a scammer!
Su Wan deliberately woke Xu Yuan for two reasons. First, she really wanted to hear his opinion on how to trick the Light-Types. Secondly, she wanted to show the Dark Enchanter how close she was to Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan let out a long yawn and stretched his back. “Tell me about the plan.”
He listened to Su Wan as she told him of their discussion based on what the Red-Eyed Black Dragon had reported.
Xu Yuan’s eyes lit up. He had an idea! “Didn’t they want to trap and eliminate us?” he said. “We can pretend to fall into their trap and be surrounded by them.”
Xu Yuan didn’t elaborate. Su Wan was confused, but, more than that, she was scared of the expression Xu Yuan had on his face. It chilled her to her bones.
Scammer Xu was up and kicking to trick people again!
Xu Yuan explained his plan. He wanted Su Wan to know that, in terms of scamming people, he was on another level and Su Wan could never compare to him.
“We have to think clearly. We can’t just stupidly fall into their trap. They will be suspicious,” he said. “They will set traps for us, but we can’t fall into it too easily. We need a strong reason.”
Xu Yuan told her of this “reason”. The Competition Gems! Their original plan had been to snatch away the gems. They could use it as a reason for their entrapment. They could claim that they were so blinded by the gems that they couldn’t see the trap at all.
“Under the pretext of our own interest in snatching the gems, we can pretend to be blinded by our goal. We can then fall into the enemy’s trap!”
