Chapter 530 - Naked!

After a few minutes, despite the fatigued and drained state he was in, Adam had to return to the tournament, and got up, just wanting to get it over with.

Sensing that Adam had gotten up, Su Lan was struggling to focus on her cultivation and subconsciously moved her arms to cover her breast and as much of her body as she could.

Seeing that, Adam chuckled and reassured her, "I am not interested in you that way and I must admit, you are beautiful, but I am not looking at you and have literally just reformatted your body, so just forget I am here and focus on your cultivation."

She couldn't disagree and couldn't sense his gaze on her or any lust from him, which was unusual, even for the most upright and righteous individual.

Unless he was...

"And I don't swing that way," he clarified, seeing the curious and confused expression on her face.

Before doing anything else, Adam distorted his appearance once again to look like Liao Wei like he had done before, which was quite difficult for him to do. It wasn't because of the energy that is required, but the mental control to activate.

Fortunately, after activating it, all he would need was to supply his face with small amounts of energy to maintain the change in appearance, which he couldn't do while completing Su Lan's tough procedure.

Opening the door of the private recovery room, he only opened it enough for the Branch Master to be able to hear him, but not see inside.

"Did you manage to heal her and help her breakthrough?" the Branch Master asked as soon as he sensed the door move.

It was clear from his tone that he didn't believe that Adam had been able to and he simply answered, "No, but she is better than she was before. And is currently cultivating and doesn't want to be disturbed, but I am sure you can tell that and can sense that her breathing is stable."

And just like Adam had said, he could sense through the small gap in the door that Su Lan was doing better than before and seemed to be cultivating.

But why wasn't Adam opening the door completely and what exactly had happened?

However, before he could ask any more questions, Adam made a request that made him even more confused.

"I am ready to continue the tournament like I said I would be, but could you please get me two sets of clothes? One for me and one for Su Lan," he requested.

Instantly upon hearing that, he couldn't help but have lude thoughts and for what reason would they both be naked, but as the Branch Master, obviously he could maintain composure.

Taking a second to calm down, he asked, "Am I your servant to be getting you two sets of clothing? And since when were we close?" in a slightly annoyed manner.

Subconsciously, since Adam had Liao Wei's, he felt close to him and found it easy to be friendly with him, despite not really knowing who he was or much about him. While the curiosity he felt towards Adam also made him want to act casually with him and find out more about him.

However, he still was the Branch Master who despite not being very prideful, needed to ensure that he was respected so that he didn't sully the reputation of the Martial Arts Union.

"Well, I am almost fully naked and so is Su Lan, so unless you want me to fight with my..."

"Okay, I will get some for you," he interjected before Adam could finish what he was going to say.

But still, what kind of recovery method needed them to be naked, and tore up their clothes?

Instructing one of his subordinates to bring him two sets of clothing, one set for each of them, they were sets of plain clothing that would adapt and fit whoever put them on. He then placed it outside the private recovery room before heading towards the arena.

"Liao Wei, you will be escorted back to the stage by my subordinate, so hurry up and put the clothes on," he instructed before leaving.

He was curious as to what happened between Adam and Su Lan as he waited outside, but it wasn't his place to pry and Su Lan had consented to whatever had happened. So he just went on with his day, still needing to oversee the rest of the tournament and interested to see who will win.

Adam thanked him as he opened the door just enough for his arm to fit through, then grabbed the clothing and closed the door.

His private parts were covered and didn't really care if he was seen naked, but he could tell that Su Lan definitely didn't, which was why he was being so careful as he put on the set of the clothes that he was happy with.

Obviously, he could have gotten a set of clothing out of his inventory, but he didn't want to reveal the fact that he had it to Su Lan and the Branch Master.

Meanwhile, the pills he had withdrawn from the inventory during the procedure hadn't even been noticed by Su Lan, who at the time was experiencing gut-wrenching pain, and the Branch Master wasn't in the room to see them appear out of thin air.

"I have left some clothes here and should be back quite soon. I am pretty sure that the next few battles won't take long like ours did," he said as he was about to leave.

"Are you sure you can fight right now? I know you are strong, but..."

"Don't worry, I will be fine," he reassured her before leaving.

Outside, he found the female Martial Arts Union member who had previously arrested him and didn't seem to like him after he got away with cutting someone down in the waiting area.

"We meet again," she said, but Adam just sighed and responded, "Please lead the way, and stop with the small talk."

"Ugh, you really are one agitating fellow. And what were you doing with Su Lan in there that required you both to be naked? It must have been one nice recovery session," she teased.

Adam didn't bother reacting to her, which annoyed her, as he followed her back to the arena in a relaxed manner.
