"Mr. Wan, you have won the prize. My father said it when he was alive. Back then, it was you who let him, and his magic was able to slightly overwhelm you. ”

Xiao Yuqian replied without showing weakness, he knew about this matter, his father once performed on the same stage with Wan Tianlei, and that time Xiao Xinghui's magic obviously prevailed and won the favor of the audience.

It is precisely because of this that Wan Tianlei has always been obsessed with Xiao Xinghui, and after learning of Xiao Xinghui's death, he thought that he could sit back and relax.

People like Wan Tianlei, who boast of being the boss among their peers, are most taboo when they hear that they are inferior to others. Xiao Yuqian's words undoubtedly revealed Wan Tianlei's scars.

Wan Tianlei and Wan Hongfang could naturally hear the meaning of Xiao Yuqian's words, Wan Hongfang was about to have a seizure, Wan Tianlei stopped him with a wave of his hand, although his face became more and more ugly, but his tone was still polite.

"Don't talk about that, Mr. Xiao, I heard that you also signed up for this magician contest held in Xiyu City. To tell you the truth, my apprentice is also going to compete for a place, and I am afraid that the two of you will hurt your harmony in the arena, so I will ask you to talk about it. ”

Xiao Yuqian laughed secretly, he finally knew why Wan Tianlei had to be so polite to him all the time. Wan Tianlei said that he didn't want to hurt the harmony, and the implication was that he hoped that he Xiao Yuqian would release the water or withdraw from the game, so that the two would not meet on the field.

Wan Tianlei's approach, to put it nicely, is to discuss with him, but to put it badly, it is to force him. It seems that he has sat in many of these things before, winning opportunities for his apprentices.

"Mr. Wan said with a smile, I'm just an inconspicuous amateur magician, how can I compare with your apprentice, this time I'm just looking for an opportunity to train myself. ”

Xiao Yuqian pretended to answer modestly, pretending not to understand Wan Tianlei's words, sometimes, in the face of this kind of person, pretending to be stupid is the best choice.

Wan Tianlei saw Xiao Yuqian pretending to be stupid, his face darkened a little again, what he just said had already shown what he meant, and he didn't believe that Xiao Yuqian would not understand. Now Xiao Yuqian is pretending to be stupid, which is equivalent to refusing his request.

Wan Tianlei is worthy of being a person who has been in the society for a long time, and casually put an abalone into the bowl, and then looked up at Xiao Yuqian,

"Mr. Xiao, I'll just say it. In this magic competition, you are not Wan Hongfang's opponent. So I hope that if you meet him in the final, you can release the water or just throw in the towel. Even if you don't agree, it won't stop Wan Hongfang from winning this championship. ”

This time, Wan Tianlei's words directly had the flavor of threat. Obviously, if Xiao Yuqian didn't agree to his proposal, he would find a way to make Xiao Yuqian unable to participate in the competition. In his opinion, in his capacity as the vice president of the International Association of Magicians, this matter is simply easy.

"If you say yes, I promise, you'll get all kinds of opportunities in the future. I will try to recommend you to magic commercial performances all over the country, think about it, if you lose this award, you will gain countless wealth and fame next. ”

Wan Tianlei is worthy of being an old treacherous and cunning, not only coercion, but also knows how to lure. In short, it is to let Xiao Yuqian give this championship to Wan Hongfang by all means.

If it were someone else, he might have agreed a long time ago, and he would have to be grateful to Wan Hongfang. The famous magician actually talked to him in person, and this alone is a thing that can be used to show off. Coupled with the various benefits that Wan Tianlei promised next, it was simply profitable.

Since this layer of window paper has been pierced by Wan Tianlei, there is no need for Xiao Yuqian to pretend to be an elephant anymore. He put down his chopsticks and simply refused:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wan. Although I believe in the strength of your apprentice, I will not give up my own opportunity. Since you said that I am not Wan Hongfang's opponent, why do you want me to release water? If Wan Hongfang defeats me in the competition, then I am convinced. But if I want to act with a clear conscience, that's impossible!"

A cold light flashed in Wan Tianlei's eyes, who is he? He is the vice president of the International Association of Magicians. He is the No. 1 magician in China, and the olive branch he took the initiative to throw was kicked back by Xiao Yuqian, which is contempt for him.

As soon as Wan Hongfang heard Xiao Yuqian's words, he immediately sneered and looked at Xiao Yuqian with disdain.

"Xiao Yuqian, you are so bold, our husband rewarded you with a face, and you dared not to accept it. Who do you think you are? I tell you, in my eyes, you are nothing. In the Magician Competition, only one of the strongest champions will be born, and that is me!"

Hehe.

Xiao Yuqian only chuckled twice in the face of Wan Hongfang's insulting words, then stood up and walked out of the door,

"Since you're so confident, there's no need for me to release water. I'm looking forward to fighting you, and I'll do my best when the time comes, let's see who is weaker and who is stronger. But I'll warn you beforehand, judging by the facts, my magic level will throw you a two-way street with eight lanes and five green belts. ”

When Wan Hongfang heard Xiao Yuqian's response, his face twisted together angrily, he was confident that his magic level was unmatched among his peers, but he asked Xiao Yuqian to say that he was dumped by him. But for the sake of his own face, he had to bite the bullet and say:

"Hmph, just now I wanted to be kind and make you a runner-up, it seems that you are not going to accept it. Wait, I'll make you cry and beg me!"

"Mr. Xiao, please stay!"

At this time, it was Wan Tianlei who shouted out to stop Xiao Yuqian, Wan Hongfang looked at the master with a shocked face, and didn't understand why Wan Tianlei had to endure Xiao Yuqian again and again, could it be that he doubted that he didn't have the strength to defeat Xiao Yuqian?

"Sir, why do you ......?"

"Shut up!" Wan Tianlei scolded Wan Hongfang unceremoniously. Xiao Yuqian's strength, he had heard that not long ago, at the gathering of the four families at that time in Huangshui City, he completed the magic of teleportation in less than three seconds, and this strength can only be done by a magic master. He knew very well that it was indeed as Xiao Yuqian said, if he really wanted to compare, Xiao Yuqian would indeed throw off Wan Hongfang.

This is also the reason why he has repeatedly backed down, since he can't let Xiao Yuqian admit defeat directly, he can only retreat.

"Why don't you do that, Mr. Xiao. The magician contest is supposed to determine the best magician. I think you're just right here and competing with my apprentices. The two of you will perform a magic trick for each person, and I will be the referee, and as for which magic trick to perform, it is up to me to decide, and whoever loses will take the initiative to withdraw from the game, how about it?"

Of course, Xiao Yuqian knew what Wan Tianlei's purpose was in doing this, and if he was asked to be the referee, he would naturally favor his apprentice, that is to say, when the two were of equal strength, Wan Hongfang would still win. The type of magic designated by Wan Tianlei will naturally be what Wan Hongfang is best at.

What's more, Xiao Yuqian was invited to dinner, and it was impossible to carry magic props, and the fact that there were no props was a big restriction for magicians.

Wan Tianlei wanted to borrow this method and let Wan Hongfang use the magic he was best at against Xiao Yuqian, and he still had confidence in the magic that his apprentice was best at. At least a tie with Xiao Yuqian should be no problem, and when the time comes, he, a magic expert, will deliberately find Xiao Yuqian's fault, which will naturally make Wan Hongfang win, thus making Xiao Yuqian withdraw from the game.

Wan Tianlei's thoughts, how could he escape Xiao Yuqian's insight, but he really underestimated Xiao Yuqian's strength, and without thinking about it, Xiao Yuqian nodded without hesitation and agreed,

"Then ask Mr. Wan to specify a magic trick. ”
