Chapter 713 The Dark Horse Rides Over
Xia Wanyuan seemed to know what Xuan Sheng was about to say. “It’s all in the past. There’s no longer back then.”
“Mm.” Xuan Sheng sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and smiled at Xia Wanyuan. “I was just casually saying. Miss Xia, you might not even have a place in my cage. After all, I’ve locked up countless canaries here.”
Xia Wanyuan walked in front of Xuan Sheng and glanced at the broken prayer beads in his hand. The broken edges had cut his fingers, but he didn’t seem to notice.
“Doesn’t it hurt?” Xia Wanyuan reached out and removed the prayer beads. “I’m used to it.” Xuan Sheng lowered his head, his thin eyelids revealing some fragility.
Before he could remember anything, he was his biological mother’s tool to vent her anger. He was so hungry every day that he could be beaten up by that woman for a night just because he had secretly eaten a meal.
From a very young age, his biological mother had taught him to be anorexic and irritable. From the age of ten, she had sent women to his bed and vowed to raise him into a scum.
This pain was nothing.
“I wish you well.” Xia Wanyuan knelt down and looked straight into Xuan Sheng’s eyes. Those eyes, which always had a hint of evilness, now had a hint of red under them. They were dark and dull.
Xuan Sheng looked at Xia Wanyuan in front of him. His eyes flickered and the corners of his lips curled up. “Miss Xia, you’re not even my person. You want me to be well? You’ll make me misunderstand.”
Xia Wanyuan did not say anything more. She stood up, turned around, and saw Jun Shiling standing at the door. His gaze was obscure, and he was staring at her deeply.
“Let’s go back.” Xia Wanyuan walked over to hold Jun Shiling’s hand, then looked at Xuan Sheng. “I’ll be leaving first. See you later.”
“Alright. Goodbye, Yuan Yuan.” Xuan Sheng winked at Xia Wanyuan, then looked provocatively at Jun Shiling.
Sensing Jun Shiling’s imposing manner, Xia Wanyuan held his hand and left with her man.
After the two of them disappeared from his sight, the corners of Xuan Sheng’s lips gradually returned to normal. He leaned against the sofa and closed his eyes for a moment. Then, he picked up his phone and made a call.
“Bring back the few psychiatrists from last time. Get two fitness instructors to come back and get the doctor to prescribe some medicine with less side effects.”

In Continent M, Lawrence sat on the sofa as the coach placed a list in front of him. “Your potential opponent in this Masters game.”
Lawrence had just won the World Series championship, and he was feeling very pleased with himself. He glanced at the name list in his hand. They were all the more popular players. “Why is Li Yi, the loser, still here?” Lawrence asked in confusion when he saw Li Yi’s name on the list.
“He’s the most important seeded player in China. We can’t underestimate him.” China was the land of Go. Even though it had declined over the years, who knew if there were still people living in their land.
“Humph, China is just so-so. I don’t understand why you are so worried about China winning the championship. I don’t think they can even get into the top three.” Lawrence had defeated Li Yi, so he didn’t care about China at all.
“Let’s hope so,” The coach said, feeling oddly guilty at Lawrence’s smugness. But when he looked at the list, he saw that these people weren’t as skilled as Lawrence. He suppressed his uneasiness again.
The semifinals of the World Masters Tournament were currently in an intense competition. The members selected by the various national Go Association could directly participate in the finals, while the civilian contestants would have to compete online to select 20 contestants from the millions of contestants.
The semi-finals were based on points. Winning one round would add one point, and losing one round would have one point deducted.
The higher the score, the higher the score of a suitable opponent.
At the end of the competition, the top 20 contestants were chosen to enter the finals.
In this semifinals, there were a total of two million people competing on the line.
The people in charge of monitoring the progress of the competition looked at the rankings list in boredom.
The higher the score, the stronger the opponent. Many people, who had initially risen in points, slowly began to fight with their opponents. There were no big abnormalities.
There were only two days left until the semi-finals. The top 20 had been decided. The staff members were bored and sat in the hall playing with their phones.
“Heavens, look! Is there a problem with our data collection device?” In the quiet hall, a reviewer suddenly exclaimed.
Everyone perked up and looked at the big screen. Then, they saw an account called “Xia”. In just half a day, it had achieved a hundred consecutive victories that no one had ever achieved before. It directly triggered the safety alarm of the harvester.
Moreover, the points on this account kept flashing with green light.
This meant that it was still rising!Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com
