At this moment, Li Yinuo caught a detail in Li Changqing's words, about offering fighting courses… there must be an instructor, right?
Could it be that Qing Chen was already preselected for this position?
This is a typical case of creating a position for a specific person, a position crafted precisely for him!
Suddenly, cheers erupted from outside the private room, and in the next moment, the audience in the boxing arena stood up, watching as Qing Chen entered the octagon cage.
Nan Gengchen and Li Tongyun also stood up and walked to the glass, watching intently.
Li Changqing suddenly said with a smile, "You might not know yet, but Miao Qifeng got his hands on a genetic potion from black market merchant Su Xingzhi seven days ago. It was one I had released earlier. So, it's highly likely that Miao Qifeng is no longer an E-Class, but a D-Class. With other gyms envious of Begonia's business, they plan to cut off Jiang Xiaotang's financial path by killing Qing Xiaotu in the octagon cage."
Li Yinuo's eyes widened in shock. She hadn't expected such a conspiracy—Miao Qifeng was cheating right under everyone's noses!

Typically, no fighter hides their level because the dividend differences between Tiger Grade and Land Cruise Grade are huge—you'd lose hundreds of thousands every match by hiding your level.
Moreover, challenging someone in this way meant making a sworn enemy of Jiang Xiaotang. As long as Miao Qifeng still wanted to live in City 18, he would inevitably face Begonia Boxing Gym's retaliation. Other fighters would also despise him.
These were the rules of the martial world, and nobody would help him then.
But now, it seemed that the stakes were high enough to drive Miao Qifeng to take such a risk!
Li Changqing said with a smile, "This matter was concocted by all four boxing gyms together. If Miao Qifeng wins tonight, they've already prepared a vehicle to transport him to City 23 under the Jindai family's protection. Plus, they will give him a hefty relocation fee, including all tonight's earnings. Miao Qifeng is past his prime at thirty-seven and can't fight anymore, so he intends to retire."
"What if he loses?" asked Li Yinuo.
"Naturally, the four gyms would silence him by killing him," Li Changqing said smilingly, "but they probably haven't considered that scenario."
Indeed, how could a Land Cruise Grade possibly lose to a Tiger Grade? The level difference is there!
The next second, Nan Gengchen wanted to run outside the private room; his first reaction was to warn Qing Chen before the match started, as once the octagon cage was locked, nothing would help.
However, a small hand stealthily tugged at his trouser leg beside him, signaling him not to act rashly.
In the eyes of Li Yinuo and Li Changqing, Li Tongyun and Nan Gengchen were just there to enjoy watching Qing Chen fight and had no connection as Time Travelers.
If Nan Gengchen revealed now that he knew Qing Chen, it wouldn't take long for people to suspect that Qing Chen might also be a Time Traveler!
Revealing such information, in the current environment of the Inner World where Time Travelers are loathed, would be extremely fatal.
Li Changqing looked at the three people in the private room and felt something odd, "Eh, why aren't you rushing out to save him? According to my guess, you should be warning him right now. XiaoTongyun, aren't you his fan? Aren't you worried about him? Are you a fake fan?"
XiaoTongyun smiled obediently, "Auntie, you're planning to employ him as your bodyguard and the fighting instructor for our family school. You must know that he won't die today. If you are not worried, why should we be?"
Li Changqing's eyes brightened, and she immediately hugged the young girl into her arms, rubbing her fondly, "I've heard people say you are smart but didn't believe it until now. You are just as clever as your auntie from a young age. You should follow and learn more from your auntie!"
Li Yinuo was momentarily stunned, thinking that Li Changqing was grooming XiaoTongyun as her successor.
She jokingly said, "Auntie, I said I wanted to follow you before, and you didn't agree."
Li Changqing said disdainfully, "Were you as smart as XiaoTongyun when you were ten? You were so clumsy as a child, a nuisance to have around!"
Actually, Li Yinuo wasn't dumb; she just looked a bit slow.
Li Tongyun could think of all the details, and naturally, she could too. That's why she hadn't acted just now.
Li Yinuo didn't want her aunt to know too many clues, lest she guess some of Uncle Li Dong's affairs.
In the whole private room, only Nan Gengchen wanted to rush out to warn Qing Chen.
Strictly speaking, the three women in the room were as sharp as ghosts, with only Nan Gengchen still naively failing to see the truth.
However, it seemed that only the naive truly have the most pure and direct emotions.
Even though Li Tongyun and Li Changqing both said Qing Chen would be alright, he couldn't help but worry still.
"It's starting," said Nan Gengchen.
The boxing match was about to begin, and the private room fell silent, everyone watching the octagon cage intently.
Qing Chen stood in the center of the octagon cage, and beyond the black steel bars was a broad but noisy world, with people shouting like flames flickering.
Although it was early winter, it felt like a scorching summer, with countless cicadas buzzing on the trees.
The young man's pupils suddenly narrowed, recording and analyzing everything before him.
The host, dressed in a tuxedo, stood outside the octagon cage and took off his hat, bowing to the audience in all four directions like a clown.
A gambler waved his tickets in the air, screaming hoarsely, his face turning red due to lack of oxygen, and the veins on his neck bulging.
