Chapter 253: Chapter 33 Entering the Arena

Gu Xiaoxi immediately became highly vigilant! But her face remained unchanged.

"Don’t mention it! Are you going to participate in today’s finals? I think your car is great, you’ll definitely win," the man said with a gentlemanly smile, his blue eyes squinting.

"Thank you for your encouragement. I hope I can win!" Gu Xiaoxi nodded innocently.

"My name is Danny! Can we be friends?" Danny asked, raising his eyelids gently, his eyes filled with sincerity.

Gu Xiaoxi was now certain that this man was up to no good.

Since the other party was beating around the bush, she decided to play ignorant too. However, facing such a meticulous person, she had to be even more careful.

"You’ve been a big help. Of course, we can be friends. It’s just getting late, I need to get to the racetrack!" Gu Xiaoxi said leisurely.

Danny laughed and said, "It so happens I want to watch the race. Could you give me a lift?"

Gu Xiaoxi felt like a million grass mud horses were galloping through her mind.

So now he’s sticking to her like a shadow.

She turned to get into the car, waving her hand generously at Danny, "Off we go!"

Although she didn’t know whether he was a good person, she wasn’t afraid of him.

Danny smiled politely and then opened the car door, sitting in the passenger seat.

Gu Xiaoxi drove at a gentle pace, not showing off her superb skills. Just a normal, ordinary speed heading to the racetrack.

Danny was a very gentle man, not asking any indiscreet questions along the way. Instead, he told Gu Xiaoxi a lot about Texas’s local customs and specialty foods.

At the same time, he also talked to her about the history of car racing in Texas and its economic impact on the area.

Gu Xiaoxi filtered his words in her mind, suspecting this guy was a businessman.

But she was too embarrassed to ask directly.

As she drove, something suddenly occurred to her and she turned to Danny with a smile, "Why did you call me a beauty?"

"Aren’t you one?" Danny replied with a grin.

Gu Xiaoxi widened her big, innocent eyes, then denied without blushing or skipping a beat, "I’m not!"

Danny burst into laughter, revealing a row of white teeth, clearly amused by Gu Xiaoxi’s serious denial. Then, in a pleased tone, he said, "I can smell it on you, it doesn’t belong to a man! Because you don’t have the scent of a man!"

"...!" What could Gu Xiaoxi say! She turned her head, her face unpleasant as she glared at Danny, angrily asking, "What exactly does ’scent of a man’ smell like?"

Danny, holding back a laugh, explained, "A kind of masculine energy that even men who wear perfume can’t hide away."

Gu Xiaoxi slammed on the brakes. Was this guy mocking her for not having a masculine energy?

She was a gentle and passionate woman; what did she need masculine energy for?

Gu Xiaoxi turned back, her demeanor serious as she glared at Danny, but she couldn’t help but angrily demand, "Who exactly are you? What’s your purpose in following me?"

If he thought she was an easy target because she was a woman, he was sorely mistaken.

"I am a car racing enthusiast but due to certain reasons, I cannot participate in the races, so I go to watch on-site. I’m not following you, I’m just looking to catch a ride to the racetrack," Danny explained earnestly.

Gu Xiaoxi didn’t believe him, but he wouldn’t say more.

She couldn’t force him anyway.

At least for the moment, he had no ill intentions.

Just then, Gu Xiaoxi’s phone rang.

She drove with one hand and pulled out her phone with the other, seeing that the call was from Liu Yishou.

She immediately answered, cheerfully saying, "Master!"

A voice full of vicissitudes from the other end, with a hint of indulgence, responded, "Xiao Xi, I heard you were looking for me. What’s the matter?"

Gu Xiaoxi felt a wave of frustration, "You still remember having a disciple like me; here I thought you had forgotten. I’m telling you, you said you would only take me as your disciple in this lifetime, what’s the deal with Jiang Shichi?"

"Didn’t you not want to learn Inner Strength when I taught you before? So I simply sought someone with the aptitude and passed on a bit. It would be a waste if I died and nobody carried on my mantle," Liu Yishou teased from a sofa with a laugh.

Gu Xiaoxi snorted coldly, "I heard you went to Pyramid, had enough fun yet? Where are you now, let’s meet and talk!"

There was a stranger by her side, making it inconvenient to discuss certain matters.

Although she was not sure if Danny could understand her Mandarin, it was still better to be cautious.

"It’s a long story, I’ll come to A City in a couple of days to find you. There are some things that are better talked about face to face," Liu Yishou spoke through the phone, suddenly feeling that Gu Xiaoxi had grown up a lot. Although she still spoke with a bit of arrogance, she no longer had the childishness of the past.

"No need to wait a couple of days, start traveling to A City now. I am currently in Texas, and once I’ve settled the matters here, I will head to A City to find you. I’m short on time, and if I’m late, you won’t be able to see me," Gu Xiaoxi said in a serious tone.

Liu Yishou chuckled, "Silly girl, still as domineering as before. Don’t worry, I’ll come to find you. In this world, there’s no place I can’t get to."

Gu Xiaoxi fell silent for a moment before she couldn’t help expressing her concern, "I heard you got injured. Is it serious?"

Despite his voice sounding full of vigor, she was still a bit worried.

Liu Yishou felt his old heart warm up a bit, and his eyes moistened. He quickly explained, "Of course not! I’m doing great, our little girl is starting to care for others. Your master can die in peace now."

Hearing the sentimental tone in Liu Yishou’s voice coming from the phone, Gu Xiaoxi was left speechless.

It was as if the past her never cared for anybody!

"I have important matters to attend to right now, I have to hang up! Master, you must come to find me!" Gu Xiaoxi felt it was still better to talk in person. She hadn’t seen her master for many years, and he must be even older now.

"Alright, alright, alright!"

After Liu Yishou hung up the phone, Gu Xiaoxi turned off her mobile.

Danny sat next to Gu Xiaoxi, very quiet, as if immersed in his own world, seemingly oblivious to Gu Xiaoxi’s conversation.

Gu Xiaoxi glanced at the time and sped up her driving.

An hour later, the car arrived at the racetrack.

From a distance, the bustling crowd filled the sprawling roads along several hilltops.

Upon entering the racetrack’s gate, the noise of the crowd was deafening, with a mix of sounds creating chaos, and every face brimmed with joy and excitement.

It was unclear which racer was interacting with the audience, but it instantly sparked a wave of enthusiastic screams and applause.

"Thank you for bringing me here, may I have your name, beautiful girl?" Danny asked with a gentle smile, staring at Gu Xiaoxi, his deep blue eyes entrancing as whirlpools beneath the sea.

"Just call me Little X," Gu Xiaoxi replied perfunctorily. Finally, she had brought this deity of a man to his destination.

"Then, farewell, Little X," Danny said as he got out of the car and waved goodbye to Gu Xiaoxi with a smile.

Gu Xiaoxi immediately phoned Su San.

Su San had already handled all the procedures and then took Gu Xiaoxi into the venue.

Adding Gu Xiaoxi, there were 68 competitors in the final. Gu Xiaoxi was the only special entry.

Since Lu Xi had a car accident, becoming the regret of the tournament, the organizers agreed to let Gu Xiaoxi inherit Lu Xi’s will and allowed her to participate in the finals as a special case.

As soon as Gu Xiaoxi entered the racetrack, the loudspeakers burst out with a resonant voice.

"Today we welcome a special racer, Lu Xi’s disciple, Mr. Little X. He will take the place of the injured Lu Xi to join the final. Like the other racers, he’s entitled to vie for a position. Let’s give a warm round of applause to Mr. Little X."

Gu Xiaoxi, wearing sunglasses that covered most of her face, slowly drove onto the track in her car.

As soon as the crowd heard the announcement, their gazes collectively turned towards the blue and white striped race car entering the field.

Korte’s expression darkened at once, as he stared coldly at Gu Xiaoxi from afar, "What the hell is going on? Where did Lu Xi get a disciple from?"

Korte’s assistant immediately spoke in a panicked voice, "Brother, stay calm, I’ll call Ye Ming to clarify everything."

A moment later, the assistant came back with a smile on his face and whispered in Korte’s ear, "Brother, don’t worry, although it’s unclear where Lu Xi’s disciple popped up from, she is using Lu Xi’s spare car, which isn’t top-tier. And this car, like Lu Xi’s... if she dares to use it, the outcome will be worse than Lu Xi’s fate!"

Korte narrowed his eyes; although he couldn’t see all of Gu Xiaoxi’s face, he could determine ’his’ age, which appeared to be quite young.

A greenhorn thinking to snag a share in this major competition, not considering if ’he’ was even qualified.

Korte suddenly sneered viciously, "Since he’s courting death, I don’t mind sending him off. Let him die quicker than Lu Xi."

"That’s the spirit! Don’t worry about the race, brother. We’ve got everything under control. Ye Ming guaranteed, she is as good as dead!" the assistant said with a sly look in his eyes as he watched Gu Xiaoxi enter, as if he was looking at a dead person, revealing a devious smile.
