Chapter 179: Chapter 179- How to Get The Best Piece of The Thirteen Months
"But, to ensure that we can 110% make our grand plan work, we need to add even more incredible achievements to our record, or more specifically, Adori's record to make it even more amazing and dazzling as much as possible." Said Liu Guanyi solemnly.
"As I have expected, you will say something along such lines." Adori said with a knowing smile. "But you are right, it's better safe than to be sorry."
"However, that's not all…" Liu Guanyi said with stress and stopped to let his words sink in.
He looked toward Adori. "What I want you to get, Adori, is the best piece among the thirteen months, the only S-ranked weapon among them, the Golden November!" Liu Guanyi spoke slowly but strongly.
Hearing his declaration, Xin smacked his thighs and grinned wildly.
Meanwhile, Adori let out a sigh and then smiled wryly. "Well, I was thinking you will give some slack. But as expected of you, once again, I don't know if I am flattered or disheartened with such a high expectation."
I knew that in your team, not being a workaholic or training freak is a great sin. But hey, even a diligent princess of Zahard and a disciplined person like me need rest. I can hope for some respite from time to time, no?" Said Adori with exasperation as Xin took joy in her suffering.
Liu Guanyi laughed lightly hearing her apparent complaint.
"Don't worry, Adori, I will always accompany you to train together. Oh, and if you need some encouragement and motivation, I can always give you some at any time." Liu Guanyi spoke with a clear smirk on his face.
Adori puffed her cheeks and huffed. "Hmm! It doesn't really affect you at all so it doesn't count as any help. You have always been a training freak for forever and will be in the future! How encouraging me by training together burden you at all?"
"Hey, don't be so petty, princess! It's absolutely fine for Mr. Liu to ask you for a favor after all these years he has to put up with you!" Xin exclaimed in response.
Then, he grinned. "And most importantly, are you chickening out now after saying those previously bold claims of yours? It seems you are all talk and no action, aren't you, princess." He spoke with a provocative tone.
Adori palmed her face. "Ugh, don't tell me you didn't know that it was a joke?"
"No, I knew it was a joke and I got you, princess. I guess I have surpassed you now." Said Xin smugly, proud of being able to outwit the prodigious princess of Zahard.
Hearing this, Adori's turned to normal instantly as if her previous expression of annoyance didn't exist at all. Instead, a winning and knowing grin was plastered on her face.
"I knew that you would be proud if I act as if I didn't know that it was a joke and fell into your provocation. You are too young hundreds of years to be able to outwit me, Xin." Said Adori.
"That was a good try though." She quickly added as a praise.
"Ahhh! I thought I got you already!" Xin spoke as he held his head down with both of his hands.
Adori cleared her throat. "Anyway, that's enough joking around."
And turned to Liu Guanyi. "As you have said previously, although there's pretty high chance for me to get a high-ranked piece of the thirteen months, it's still not guaranteed that king Zahard will give me the Golden November. After all, Rainbow Undecimber and Colorless December are strong candidates as well."
"Indeed, that's why, we need to put many more dazzling achievements for you." Answered Liu Guanyi casually.
"But don't worry, I have a plan for you to really, completely ensure that king Zahard will give you the best piece of the thirteen months easily as he would be absolutely willing to part it away to you without a second thought." Said Liu Guanyi with unshakable confidence in his words.
Adori scrunched her eyebrows.
Hearing him spoke with absolute confidence concerning such a serious matter made her curious. Liu Guanyi never bragged about anything so if he was truly confident in something, most likely it was truly the case.
"Are you interested in hearing it?" Liu Guanyi smiled as he saw her interest was piqued.
"Alright, go on, say it." Said Adori curtly.
"It is something that's always been there but there's nobody that have ever tried it. Despite everyone knows well about it, they never pay attention to it and always ignore it as if it has never existed at all." Explained Liu Guanyi cryptically.
"Hmm, something that has always existed long ago but has never been tried even once by anyone and always been ignored, huh?" Adori muttered softly as she pondered hard about it.
After thinking for a while, Adori spoke. "Although I have a few guesses, what you have described is still too broad so I don't know for sure and don't think any of my guesses is accurate. Can you give a little bit more clues?"
"Well, I kinda expected that you can get the answer with just these clues." Said Liu Guanyi looking a bit disappointed.
"Me too…" Chimed Xin with a straight face, which earned him a glare from Adori.
"As if you can even guess it, Xin." Said Adori with contempt.
"Alright, then. Here's the last clue, it is related to action and battle, just like the general theme of the tower's tests honestly." Liu Guanyi explained as Adori mulled her thoughts hard.
One second… two seconds… three seconds… five seconds… the time crawled slowly for Adori as she delved into her mind and fully used her brain capacity to process and connect the dots and links.
Then, at the tenth second, she finally got it as her golden eyes grew wide in shock!
"Are you kidding me, Liu!? Are you thinking of "that"!?" Adori exclaimed with a serious tone as she smacked the poor tiger's back, which prompted a groan from her.
Even if Adori controlled it, her strength as a princess of Zahard wasn't a joke.
A smirk curled up on Liu Guanyi's face. "Yes, I am. It seems that you get it correctly, Adori."
"You are truly insane, that thing isn't a joke! And you tell me that I have to go through that insanely hard trial?! Only crazy people will be willing to take that!" Exclaimed Adori angrily, seemingly lost control of herself.
Xin was stunned on the side, he had never seen Adori speak so seriously and gravely like this even when they found out that Liu Guanyi was an irregular.
She had even lost control of her temper and yelled at him.
This case never happened previously as she always had a very good control of her emotions even at the worst situations. Also, Adori respected Liu Guanyi so much just like him so raising her voice and speaking with harsh words like this was really just out of her character.
