"Roar!!!"
The sound of ice exploding shattered twelve spectator screens. Circle Bear burst through the ice, its burning right paw slamming fiercely into the water.
Steam billowed into the sky, and the heat from the Flame Fist evaporated the entire lake, creating a three-meter-high wall of mist. Lapras was forced to surface, and the ice crystals on its carapace began to melt.
"How is this possible?" Lin Xue finally showed astonishment. It was impossible for the Circular Bear to learn fire-type moves...
Jiang Tianhao grinned, revealing his pearly white teeth: "My bear is the best at turning the impossible into the possible!"
(Mahaohao)
"Woo!!"
The dragon suddenly let out an ethereal cry. The melting ice crystals re-condensed, forming a swirling storm of ice blades around it. Lin Xue adjusted her glasses, her fingertips tracing the rainbow emblem: "Mirror Reflection in preparation."
Strange spectra began to be reflected on the water's surface, and the dragon's scales gradually shimmered with a metallic sheen.
The Circly Bear unleashed its Flame Punch again, but the moment it touched the Lapras's back armor, it was deflected into seven lines of fire, which instead melted the surrounding floating ice into boiling water.
"Now!" Lin Xue waved her arm, "Tidal Vortex and Freezing Ray!"
"Whoosh!!!" The dragon suddenly roared, spinning around and creating a huge vortex. The boiling water heated by the fire beam turned into a steam tornado. When the icy blue beam shot into the center of the vortex, the entire tornado instantly crystallized, turning into an ice crystal top with a diameter of twenty meters, which crashed down on the circle bear.

Chapter 120 Returning to Shanghai
Seeing this, Jiang Tianhao roared, his voice seemingly drowning out the ice explosion: "Splitter it!"
"Roar!!!"
Not to be outdone, the circle bear roared back, its paws overlapping, and white energy instantly caused its claws to swell into ten-meter-long light blades.
The moment the enormous claw collided with the ice top, countless ice spikes rained down. Three ice floes were cleaved in two, and the melted ice vaporized under the intense heat, enveloping the entire arena in a rainbow of light.
As the fog dissipated, Ursaring knelt on one knee on the largest ice floe, its right paw pressed firmly against Lapras's forehead. Lapras's tail fin was only half an inch from Ursaring's throat, and ice blades condensed into frost flowers on the bear's fur.
"Tie!" The electronic referee's voice crackled with static. "Field integrity is below 30%, emergency repair procedure initiated."
When Lin Xue retracted the dragon mount, Zhao Xuan noticed her trembling fingertips.
"You flatter me." Her voice returned to its mechanical calm. "Your circle bear... is very special."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tianhao smiled and said, "Of course, my Circle Bear is the best."
Next, Jiang Tianhao and Lin Xue each sent out their next Pokémon.
"Armored Bird!! It's all yours now."
"Hey!!" the Skarmory cried out as soon as it appeared.
When Lin Xue saw Skarmory, she took out a Poké Ball and threw it upwards. A red light flashed and a Pokémon with a round head and a pair of fluffy ears that looked a bit like wings appeared.
Its eyes are brown, and its fangs are visible in its mouth. Its shell is the same as Squirtle's. Its forelimbs have three sharp claws. Its tail is wavy and also fluffy.
This is Squirtle's evolved form, Wartortle.
"Warm-up!!" Wartortle shouted as soon as it appeared, its presence full of energy.
Jiang Tianhao's eyes lit up when he saw Wartortle, and then he muttered with a hint of jealousy, "What a rich guy, all his Pokémon are so rare."
Although his family was wealthy, they couldn't provide him with a starter Pokémon or a Lapras that was comparable to a pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
Despite his jealousy, Jiang Tianhao still commanded the armored bird to launch an attack.
"Warrior!! Hydro Pump!!" Lin Xue shouted, her eyes narrowing.
Three hours passed in the blink of an eye.
At the Duckbill Fire Dragon Roast Duck Restaurant, Zhao Xuan, Shi Miao, and Jiang Tianhao sat opposite each other.
"Delicious, delicious." Jiang Tianhao wolfed down the roasted duck leg, praising it from time to time.
"Poisonous~~"
"Buzz~~"
"Chu mi~~ Chu mi~~"
Poison Baby, Buzzing Bat, and the Azure Brocade Bird were also drinking Jiang Tianhao's wine.
Of course, as an elegant Pokémon, the Blue Garuda's eating manners are much better than Jiang Tianhao's, as are those of Nombat and Politoed.
Don't ask why Swablu eats meat; most Pokémon are omnivores, so eating some meat is perfectly normal for them.
"Haozi, it's such a pity. You were just a little short of winning the championship." Zhao Xuan said with some regret as he watched Jiang Tianhao wolfing down his food.
“Yes, it was just a little bit short,” Shi Miao agreed wholeheartedly.
Dada's competition had ended two hours earlier.
Jiang Tianhao made a mistake, which allowed Lin Xue to seize the opportunity and deliver a fatal blow, rendering the armored bird incapable of fighting.
"Glug!! Ah, that feels so good." Jiang Tianhao didn't reply, but picked up the drink next to him and gulped it down, making a satisfying sound.
"What's there to regret? Lin Xue is also very strong, and losing is just losing, it's not a big deal."
Seeing Jiang Tianhao's nonchalant expression, Zhao Xuan suddenly remembered something and teased, "Haozi, did Lin Xue just exchange contact information with you? I think Lin Xue has different feelings for you."
Seeing this, Shi Miao joined Zhao Xuan in teasing Jiang Tianhao: "Yeah, Jiang Tianhao, why don't you just give in to Lin Xue? She's the young lady of Dada."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tianhao rolled his eyes and said irritably, "What are you thinking? I have no feelings for Lin Xue, and I still prefer Xiao Qi."
When Deng Xiaoqi was mentioned, Jiang Tianhao showed a nostalgic expression.
"Ugh, what a simp." Zhao Xuan and Shi Miao said in unison, their faces full of disgust.
"Tch, what do you know? I call this love." Jiang Tianhao retorted irritably.
However, this was just a side story. After the three finished eating the roast duck, they returned to the hotel.
After returning to the hotel, Zhao Xuan called Li Xiaoyue and told her that he would be returning to Shanghai the next day, since he had been away for more than half a month.
It's time to go back to Shanghai.
The following day, at noon, a plane flying from the capital to Shanghai landed at Shanghai Airport.
"Ah! Shanghai suits me better!" Jiang Tianhao shouted as he exited the airport.
This attracted the attention of everyone around.
But Jiang Tianhao didn't care about these gazes at all.
"Haozi, don't embarrass yourself." Zhao Xuan said irritably when he saw this.
“It’s Jiang Tianhao,” Shi Miao agreed.
"Xuanzi, Shimiao, you two just don't understand. I'm expressing my deep affection for Shanghai. Unlike you two, who seem like cold-blooded animals." Jiang Tianhao twirled his pearl and teased the two of them with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuan was about to teach Jiang Tianhao a lesson when a familiar and friendly voice suddenly reached the ears of the three of them.
"elder brother!!"
Upon hearing the word "brother," Zhao Xuan turned his head and saw his younger sister and his aunt, Xu Meng'an.
Upon seeing the two, Zhao Xuan no longer had time to settle scores with Jiang Tianhao. He quickly walked towards Li Yunjie and Xu Mengxin.
Li Yunjie even jogged up and threw himself into Zhao Xuan's arms.
Seeing his sister's condition, Zhao Xuan immediately hugged her as she rushed towards him.
"Brother, I've missed you so much." Li Yunjie nestled his head in Zhao Xuan's arms and said in a slightly coquettish tone.
"Hehe, I miss Yunjie too." Zhao Xuan patted his little sister's head and said with a smile, while calling out to Xu Meng'an who was walking over, "Auntie."
"Xiao Xuan, it's good to see you back. Yun Jie has been talking about you every day lately, asking when you'd be back." Xu Meng'an looked Zhao Xuan over and, seeing that he wasn't injured, said with a smile.
"Hello, Aunt Xu." At this moment, Jiang Tianhao walked over and greeted Xu Meng'an. Then he looked at Li Yunjie, who was hiding in Zhao Xuan's arms, and teased her, "Sister Yunjie, have you forgotten your brother Tianhao?"
Li Yunjie stuck out her tongue at Jiang Tianhao while nestled in Zhao Xuan's arms, but didn't reply to Jiang Tianhao's words.
(It's April already, I'm begging you all for subscriptions!! Monthly tickets!! Reviews!! Flowers!!!)
Chapter 121 Scheming Against Zhao Xuan
"Who is this little girl?" Xu Meng'an asked, looking at Shi Miao beside her.
"This is Shi Miao, a friend of mine and Haozi's," Zhao Xuan said, releasing Li Yunjie.
Upon seeing this, Shi Miao also greeted Xu Meng'an, "Hello, Aunt Xu."
"Oh, what a beautiful young lady," Xu Meng'an said with a smile.
Upon hearing Xu Meng'an's praise, Shi Miao's pretty face flushed slightly, and she said somewhat shyly, "Aunt Xu, no."
After chatting for a while, Jiang Tianhao's driver arrived, and Shi Miao's father also came to pick her up in a taxi.
After exchanging greetings, the group went home.
On his way home, Zhao Xuan watched Li Yunjie playing with Baby and Pichola and casually asked, "Auntie, has anything happened at home lately?"
After Zhao Xuan finished speaking, Xu Meng'an's expression stiffened for a moment, then she returned to normal and said with a smile, "What could possibly happen?"
Although Xu Meng'an's expression changed quickly, Zhao Xuan, being the person he was, still caught the change in that instant. He frowned and was about to ask another question.
However, before Zhao Xuan could ask any further questions, Li Yunjie's somewhat angry voice rang out.
"Brother, you don't know, these past few days two lawyers have been contacting us, saying that Wang Manni's matter was all unintentional and hoping that we will not pursue it any further."
"Brother, do you still remember Wang Manni?"
Li Yunjie was afraid that his older brother had forgotten about Wang Manni, so he asked her again.
"How could your brother forget those who bullied Yun Jie? How come Wang Manni has someone backing her up now?" Zhao Xuan said gently, patting his sister's head.
At the same time, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"Yun Jie, continue. I want to see who that woman has found to back her up."
Although Zhao Xuan's voice was soft, it contained an intense chill.
"Brother, let me tell you something..." Li Yunjie continued speaking after hearing this, but was interrupted halfway through by Xu Meng'an, who was driving.
"Yun Jie, don't talk nonsense."
It wasn't that Xu Meng'an wanted to speak up for Wang Manni, but rather that she knew Zhao Xuan's personality well and was afraid he might do something rash.
"Auntie, don't worry, I'm not an impulsive person." Zhao Xuan knew what Xu Meng'an was thinking, and said with a smile.
"Besides, these things are easy for me to find out. Even if you don't tell me, I'll know anyway."
"Mom, my brother will find out about this sooner or later. Besides, that lawyer is so annoying. He's always so free. He's either calling or coming to our door to say something."
Li Yunjie agreed.
Speaking of those two lawyers, her pretty face revealed a look of dislike.
Upon hearing this, Xu Meng'an hesitated for a moment, but then said nothing more.
Because Zhao Xuan and Li Yunjie were right, this matter couldn't be kept secret at all. Those two lawyers came to the door almost every day. Even if they didn't say anything now, they would find out sooner or later now that Zhao Xuan was back.
Then, Li Yunjie recounted everything that had happened during that time.
Meanwhile, in a suite at a five-star hotel, Wang Manni, dressed in a sexy slip dress, leaned against Liang Zhengxian's chest and said with some worry, "Zhengxian, are you really sure about this?"
"Don't worry, I've checked. Zhao Xuan isn't in Shanghai right now. All we need to do is get his family on board. The law firm has already spoken to me, and his family is starting to soften their stance. Just wait patiently for my good news," Liang Zhengxian said confidently, inhaling the fragrance of Wang Manni's hair.
"Moreover, I've been doing some business with a veteran gym leader lately, so even if Zhao Xuan comes back, there's nothing to be afraid of."
This is also the source of Liang Zhengxian's confidence; otherwise, he wouldn't have schemed against Zhao Xuan in this way.
"Zhengxian, you're amazing! I'm going to reward you properly." Upon hearing this, Wang Manni kissed him passionately.
Liang Zhengxian didn't stand on ceremony either.
The two quickly rolled onto the bed.
Let's not talk about those two scoundrels.
On Zhao Xuan's side, Xu Meng'an's car was parked outside the yard. Zhao Xuan and Li Yunjia got out of the car and saw a minivan already parked in front of the yard.
Upon seeing this, Li Yunjie said, "Brother, that car belongs to the people from that law firm. It looks like they've come to see Grandpa and Grandma again."
"Hmm!" Zhao Xuan nodded expressionlessly, then strode into the courtyard.
