Different World Card Master: Change the World with Cards

210: Dark and windy nightToday’s competition saw no other incidents for the students.

After all, although this competition was held in the Luo Lan Empire, the participants came from various countries.

If an accident were to occur, whether resolved or not, the empire would lose face. It’s believed that even if the First Prince and Second Prince of the empire were at odds, they wouldn’t use the competition participants as pawns.

So today, except for a few students who couldn’t handle the immense psychological pressure, all other students completed their cards creations.

The next three days will be the judges’ scoring round.

The students’ mission has come to an end... It’s night.

The night was dark and windy, a perfect time for mischief.

Xu Bai carried Xu Le out of his room.

Of course, he wasn’t going out to cause trouble, but to find Bai Shan.

He walked unhurriedly towards Bai Shan’s room.

The reason he was carrying Xu Le was, of course, for safety. He didn’t dare leave Xu Le alone in the room. Although it was quite safe here, if anything happened, it would be too late to regret it.

”Knock knock knock.”

Soon, Bai Shan opened the door.

”Xiao Bai, do you have something to discuss with me?”

Although he spoke a question, his expression showed it was a statement.

As if he had long anticipated this scene.

Did he also receive a letter?

This thought couldn’t help but pop into Xu Bai’s mind.

But there’s no need, since the letter was delivered to Bai Shan, why send another letter to himself?

Xu Bai didn’t understand.

The two entered the room.

”Xiao Bai, which country wants to win you over? What conditions did they offer that tempted you? Are you hesitating now?”

After asking these questions, Bai Shan silently looked at Xu Bai, waiting for his reply.

Xu Bai was utterly confused.

What were these questions?

And why was he asking him these questions?

”No country wants to win me over! Why do you ask that?”

Now it was Bai Shan’s turn to be surprised.

∑ (´ △ ｀ )？！

Did he misunderstand?

”Then what do you want to see me about tonight?”

”It’s just that today when I shook hands with Raphael, he gave me a letter. The letter said he wanted our Tianlong Republic to propose having the queen as a judge, and then the First Prince Julian would give us twenty tons of star energy stone.”

”Sending you a private message, then the incident of your clothes getting dirty today wasn’t a coincidence. Was it to confirm whether you two had communicated? What on earth is going on with the Luo Lan Empire!”

Bai Shan rubbed his forehead, aching, but he still had many questions internally, making him blurt them out.

”Why is this? Isn’t the queen the First Prince’s mother? He wants his mother to be a judge, but he wants us to make this request.”

Bai Shan had lived for most of his life, and this was the first time he had encountered something so absurd.

”Teacher Bai, we probably need to consult the sirs about this matter. This might involve a struggle for the throne.”

”Do you have any understanding of the inside story?”

”I have a little understanding of this, though I can’t be sure that what I say is absolutely correct. It can only be taken as a reference.”

”It’s alright, speak your mind. It’s better to have some understanding than to be kept in the dark. We don’t fight unprepared battles.”

At the same time, Bai Shan patted his chest and assured Xu Bai.

”We will not investigate where you got your information. Even if the information you provide is incorrect, we will not hold you responsible. The sirs’ decisions will certainly not solely rely on your intelligence, but will combine information from many sources.

So, don’t feel any psychological pressure; just say what you know.”

Only then did Xu Bai breathe a sigh of relief and then told Bai Shan some of the content Wu Zijin had mentioned in his letter.

After all, Xu Bai was unsure if Wu Zijin minded others knowing about him being the Fifth Prince, so he didn’t mention that part.

”The king’s illness is something everyone knows, but I learned something: the Second Prince has taken the First Prince’s mother hostage and is pressuring the First Prince. As soon as the king dies, the Second Prince will rebel. Also, the Second Prince has killed the other princes.”

”I didn’t expect such a thing. This means that if the king dies, the Luo Lan Empire’s political situation will fall into chaos.

However, even if the queen is brought out to be a judge in the competition now, the Second Prince will surely send people to guard her. It’s impossible for anyone to rescue the queen.”

Bai Shan was wondering what the First Prince’s objective was in doing this.

During the day, Xu Bai had been constantly worried about other things, fearing that the Second Prince would discover someone had sent him a letter and then target him. He hadn’t carefully thought about the content of the letter. At this moment, he also fell into deep thought.

”Hmm, the Second Prince will absolutely not give up the queen. After all, the First Prince’s influence seems to be a bit greater. Without this leverage, the Second Prince would only have brute force as an option!”

”That’s right. If we think that way, having the queen come out as a judge, she will definitely speak. Could there be some information in what the queen says?”

Xu Bai spread his hands and shrugged, offering no comment on this.

”Forget it, we don’t understand it. Now we just have to see whether or not to agree to the First Prince’s request.”

”The next three days are for judge scoring. I don’t know when the sir will send a letter. If it’s too late, there will be no need to bring it up.”

Bai Shan: ”When did I say I was going to write to the sirs to ask for a solution?”

”Eh--,” Xu Bai’s pupils widened. What did he mean by that? Did he mean he wouldn’t tell the sirs about this? Not seek their opinion?

Xu Bai’s head was turning into mush. He suddenly wanted to lock himself in the laboratory and just keep researching so he wouldn’t have to think about too many things.

Bai Shan: ”I am Sir Lu Hao. I’ve decided to bring this matter up tomorrow.”

Bai Shan is Sir Lu Hao!

These big words exploded in Xu Bai’s mind.

To be honest, if he had been told he was Sir Lu Hao from the start, he might not have been so surprised. But after becoming so familiar with Bai Shan, suddenly learning his identity was quite stimulating.

However, after the initial thrill, he got used to it.

”Can you tell me why?”

”It’s just a matter of us speaking a few words, and we can gain twenty tons of star energy stone. That’s quite a good deal.

At the same time, we haven’t completely interfered in their internal affairs, and we won’t get involved in later matters either.”

Indeed, thinking of it this way, the matter became simpler.

Bai Shan: ”Actually, another point is that the First Prince Julian is a conservative. His ascension to power wouldn’t cause a very large conflict.”

Xu Bai nodded. In his opinion, he indeed preferred the First Prince a bit more. Just the fact that the Second Prince killed his own brothers made Xu Bai feel that the other party was a bit brutal.
