The letter that I received this morning was actually an invitation to a special competition.
It was one where those that had special talent from all over the country would be chosen to compete against one another.
This was the kind of competition that wouldn't be open to the public, it was only those that had a certain level of influence that would be allowed to watch this competition.
This was without a doubt a competition that would attract a lot of attention.
Yet this crazy old man was sending to a place like this…
Wasn't this basically asking to expose myself?
That was why I needed more information about this competition so I could figure out what my next step was. They already knew enough about that they were already sending this invitation, so I needed to know what to do about them.
The only ones that could give information were those that had enough status to know about the competition.
That was why I ca to see An Long.
At the sa ti, it was also why I called Iris over since her parents were also World Summoners. They might have also told her sothing or she could have asked them about this later for .
As for Wang Rong…
Well, I could only apologize to him that he didn't have the status to help in this matter.
After seeing this letter, An Long looked at and asked, "So what's the matter? Do you want to give you information on what this competition is about? I'm afraid that even soone like can't do sothing like that."
I couldn't help knitting my brows when I heard this as I thought that he was just making fun of , but it seed like he was being serious.
So I said, "You should know that I don't want to show off, so sending to this kind of competition…"
An Long slowly gave an understanding nod, but he still asked, "What's the problem?"
"Huh?" I was completely caught off guard by him saying this.
After all, it was impossible that he didn't see the problem here.

So he was either making fun of or he knew sothing that I didn't know.
It didn't seem like he was about to say it at first, but then An Xue Yun said, "Why are you trying to act all cool? Just tell us what you know already."
Another bitter smile appeared on An Long's face when he heard this as he looked at his daughter like he was saying, "Why can't you just let act this way for a bit? I'm your father, why are you treating like this?"
But he didn't say this out loud.
Instead, he just gave a sigh before turning back to to say, "You can just participate in the competition while hiding your identity."
"What?" I imdiately said in a surprised voice.
He just looked at and gave another sigh before saying, "It's one of the rules of the competition. This is a special competition that brings in talents from all over the country, so there's no doubt that there would be grudges between people. That's why you're allowed to hide your identity when participating. Though if your thod of hiding your identity is broken by others, then there's nothing that you can do. At the very least, it gives you a chance to compete fairly without anyone targeting you because of past grudges."
After this long explanation, I started feeling that perhaps this competition that I had been invited to was different from what I thought it was.
But it wasn't as if I had been moved yet.
As if he could see this, An Long added, "The prize for this competition is special since it's sothing that cos from the country itself. At the sa ti, the dungeon that this competition takes place in is special since it has loot that wouldn't drop from any other dungeon. It's one that is monopolized by the country, so only those that have permission can enter the dungeon normally. The only other chance to enter this dungeon is during this competition."
After he finished, he looked at with a smile that almost seed like he was trying to entice .
The more that he said, the more moved I was.
It seed that Mu Gong hadn't just done this randomly, it seed that he had actually thought things through before arranging this for .
But still, it wasn't as if I liked having this kind of thing suddenly sprung on like this. I really would have preferred so kind of warning before this thing suddenly popped onto .
After thinking about it, my decision was…
"Do you know how long I have before I respond to this?"
"Huh?" This ti, it was An Long's turn to be surprised.
After all, he thought that after everything that he said, Lin Fan would imdiately choose to accept this invitation. But instead, he was now asking how long he had before he had to accept it.
It even seed like he was leaning on rejecting this invitation.
But this was an opportunity for him, so he couldn't just let him waste it.
"Are you sure that you've thought this through?" An Long asked in a serious voice.
I didn't hesitate for a single second as I said with a nod, "That's right, I want to delay this as long as possible so I can prepare for it. If I don't feel that I'm ready, then I won't go."
After all, this was a competition between elites of the country, so it wasn't as if it was a place that I would thrive in.
I didn't think that I was fully prepared for this, even if it was an opportunity.
I could see the strange way that An Long looked at , but I just looked right back at him with the sa calm look on my face.
So he said with a sigh, "Two weeks, you have two weeks to respond. The competition starts in a month."
I gave a nod before turning to An Xue Yun to say, "Can you find so dungeons for ?"
An Xue Yun quickly nodded in response before heading out.
When they left, An Long watched them leave with a strange look on his face.
In the end, all he could say was…
"This kid is too cautious."
