Chapter 131 Want to exchange some money for money
Upon hearing the other party's cold, emotionless words, Wu Heyi's heart tightened. He hurriedly waved his hands and explained hastily:
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry! I really didn't mean to block your way, please don't take offense!"
As he spoke, a bitter smile appeared on his face, and he continued:
"To be honest, I was also driven to desperation and forced by circumstances to do this."
There is indeed a tricky situation right now, and I urgently need the help of all of you kind-hearted people!
Shui Bing'er frowned, staring intently at the beggar with a bitter smile on his face, and various unpleasant thoughts involuntarily surfaced in her mind.
Her pretty face flushed slightly, but the blush vanished instantly, replaced by an angry expression as she glared fiercely at Wu Heyi.
If Wu Heyi dared to utter any arrogant or disrespectful words at this moment, she would certainly unleash her powerful martial spirit without hesitation to annihilate this ignorant fellow in one fell swoop.
However, Wu Heyi seemed oblivious to the change in Shui Bing'er's expression and continued to state his request:
"Well... actually, my requirements are very simple."
I really wanted to go into the city to take care of some business, but look at my tattered clothes, those wretched city guards wouldn't let me in!
So, I'm hoping you all will have the kindness to take me with you into the city, so I can successfully complete my task! Please, please!
After hearing what Wu Heyi had to say, Shui Bing'er and her companions, who had been on edge, finally felt a little relieved.
After all, they were worried that this guy would make some excessive or dangerous requests, but they didn't expect it to be just such a small request.
But in an instant, he couldn't help but ponder to himself:
What could this guy be up to, coming into the city in such tattered clothes and with such unkempt hair?
Look at him, he looks exactly like a beggar begging on the street.
Could it be some kind of thief with malicious intent?
If we really bring him into the city, and he secretly does some petty theft or other illegal things, wouldn't we and our companions have to take the blame for him?
Thinking of this, Shui Bing'er frowned slightly, her gaze as cold as a star as she stared at the person before her, and questioned him in an icy tone:
"This situation is really inappropriate. Why do you insist on going into the city?"
Faced with Shui Bing'er's sharp questioning, Wu Heyi's face instantly showed an extremely embarrassed expression.
He opened his mouth as if to explain something, but only stammered out a few words:
"Um... um..."
He looked hesitant and unsure, as if he had a thousand words stuck in his throat and didn't know where to begin.
Just as Shui Bing'er was losing patience and preparing to lead the team around him, Wu Heyi finally mustered his courage and shouted:
"Wait a minute! Actually, I am just like you all, a student who has come to participate in this elite competition."
Unfortunately, some unforeseen circumstances delayed my trip, causing me to be late!
After saying these words, Wu Heyi's face turned bright red. In his own opinion, this matter was extremely shameful.
Being late for class occasionally is one thing, but to be late for such an important competition is truly shameful.
If it weren't for the rule of having substitute slots in the elite competition, which allows participants to submit the names of several backups, Wu Heyi would probably have lost his eligibility to participate in the competition for some reason by now!
How exactly can you prove that you are a student?
Upon learning that the other person was also a student participating in the competition, Shui Yue'er's fear suddenly lessened considerably!
Wu Heyi mumbled something under his breath:
"Well... well!"
At the same time, his restless hands began to rummage through his body.
After some effort, they finally managed to find a small corner of the clothes in an unbelievable place.
Perhaps worried that the many women present wouldn't be able to see the corner of the clothing clearly, Wu Heyi took several quick steps toward them without hesitation!
However, when the women realized that Wu Heyi was suddenly approaching them, they all became like startled birds, and alarm bells rang instantly.
They reacted quickly, retreating rapidly to maintain a safe distance from Wu Heyi.
At that moment, Shui Bing'er's movements became even faster than lightning.
The water element that was flowing gently in her hand instantly froze into ice and transformed into an extremely sharp longsword.
The ice sword was pointed directly at Wu Heyi's vulnerable throat.
If Wu Heyi had raised his head even a little slower, or taken even just one more step forward, then this cold, piercing sword would have mercilessly pierced his throat!
"Hey, please don't come any closer! Just stay where you are and show us that item that proves your identity!"
Faced with this situation, Wu Heyi could only awkwardly raise the small corner of the garment in his hand.
"Come and see! Look what this is!"
Wu Heyi excitedly waved the object in his hand and shouted loudly:
"This is our school badge!"
Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to it, but when they saw the school badge, they couldn't help but frown slightly.
It was covered in mottled bloodstains, with red, green, black... all sorts of colors intertwined together.
It was clearly a mark left from countless fierce battles with spirit beasts. Nevertheless, the overall outline of the school emblem was still clearly discernible.
"You're actually a student at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"
Xuewu, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed in surprise and asked incredulously.
Since entering the qualifying rounds, they have witnessed the outstanding performance of Team Royal Fight.
Their astonishing strength, especially the powerful deterrent effect brought by the presence of two Soul Kings, made this team virtually invincible, sweeping away all opponents in their path.
Thinking about this, and looking at the slightly disheveled boy in front of them, everyone was already convinced that he was indeed a member of the Royal Fighting Team.
Perhaps he was late for some special reason and is temporarily serving as a substitute player.
After figuring out the whole story, Shui Bing'er and the others exchanged smiles and then each displayed their unique skills.
In an instant, water surged, frost danced, and various soul power lights flickered and intertwined, enveloping the boy.
In no time, the boy, who was originally dirty and looked like a beggar, was transformed and looked much cleaner and fresher.
Just as the group was about to take the boy into the city, he suddenly stopped, looking troubled, and said:
"Um... excuse me, everyone, I don't know if any of you have any money on you?"
I encountered some unexpected trouble and lost all my money. Could I exchange some with you to tide me over?
Wu Heyi couldn't help but feel uneasy, wondering to himself if he had really gone too far.
At that moment, he unconsciously raised his hand and scratched his head lightly, revealing an undisguised embarrassment on his face.
In reality, Wu Heyi was truly short of money.
Normally, one must pay a certain amount of gate fee to enter the city, and some greedy city guards will even demand some extra small benefits.
It was for this reason that Wu Heyi was stopped outside the city and unable to enter.
At this moment, Shui Bing'er and the others standing to the side looked at each other, exchanging glances, seemingly hesitant about whether they should lend money to Wu Heyi.
After all, they knew very well that if they lent the money to Wu Heyi, he might not be able to repay the debt in the future!
However, just as everyone was struggling with their decision, Wu Heyi quickly pulled out two bottles from his storage equipment.
One of the bottles contained a viscous golden liquid that looked rather strange, arousing one's curiosity.
The liquid in the other bottle, however, was crystal clear and appeared quite normal, without anything particularly strange or unusual.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Heyi carefully handed the two bottles to Shui Bing'er and the others, and said:
"I'm willing to trade these two bottles with you, as long as you give me around two thousand gold soul coins!"
Wu Heyi stood ramrod straight, his face radiating immense confidence.
He held the two bottles tightly in his hands, as if they were the most precious treasures in the world.
He knew that the two bottles were of exceptional quality and that they would fetch at least 20 gold soul coins if auctioned at any auction house.
"What? You're asking for such a high price!"
Upon hearing this number, the people present widened their eyes and stared at Wu Heyi in astonishment.
They simply couldn't believe that these two seemingly ordinary bottles could really be worth so much money. Doubt and skepticism filled their hearts.
Shui Bing'er carefully took the two bottles from Wu Heyi's hand, her gaze first falling on one of the bottles containing a crystal-clear liquid.
She gently unscrewed the bottle cap, and a fresh and elegant fragrance instantly wafted out.
Shui Bing'er couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling the fragrance so refreshing that it invigorated her.
However, after taking a closer sniff, her expression suddenly changed drastically, and a look of shock flashed in her originally calm eyes.
"This...this! It's actually a full five milliliters of the Life Spring!"
Shui Bing'er murmured incredulously.
She could hardly believe what her nose and eyes were experiencing.
