Lou Jingfeng, the city lord of Qingyun City, drew lots and selected the roster of the competition.
“First match, Mo Shengqi versus Mo Ruhuan.”
Lou Jingfeng announced aloud.
The audience couldn’t hold in their discussion after hearing the names.
“Mo Shengqi is the eldest son of Mo Family’s First Elder. But who is Mo Ruhuan? Why haven’t I heard of him?”
Some of the more informed ones realized something.
“Seems like this Mo Ruhuan is the expert that the Mo Family had hired from somewhere.”
“Oh, so it’s him.”
Everyone looked at the man dressed in black on stage. The young man looked quite charismatic, and the arrogance in his eyes was a bit domineering. But even after a look at his whole body, they could not discern his cultivation.
As everyone was watching, they heard Lou Jingfeng’s voice announce again.
“Fourth match.” He took a pause. “Su Mingyang versus Lou Qianxue.”
An uproar happened in the crowd.
“What a coincidence? The two of them are really going against each other?”
“Hahaha, now that’s something interesting to watch.”
“But… why haven’t I seen Lou Qianxue?”
“Yeah, the contestants are all standing by the stage. So why is she not here?”
Lou Jingfeng finished announcing the match roster, and the competition began.
The first match pitted Mo Shengqi against Mo Ruhuan.
They were both from the Mo Family. One was the son of the First Elder and had already made a name for himself. He was the hope of the Mo Family.
The other was an expert that the Mo Family had hired.
The masses watched in great anticipation, and they couldn’t wait to see how impressive Mo Ruhuan was.
But the outcome was out of everyone’s expectations.
“I surrender.” The famous son of First Elder from the Mo Family, Mo Shengqi, conceded defeat the moment he stepped on stage.
A short silence ensued in the audience before everyone let out voices of dissatisfaction.
“What a party boomer? We were waiting for this match, and Mo Shengqi actually conceded defeat?”
“But it seems the Mo Family is very confident in Mo Ruhuan. They’d rather use him over Meng Shengqi.”
“How I wished to see this so-called ‘expert’ battle once.”
The second match was between Lou Qianyue and a contestant from a small family clan, and Qianyue effortlessly won.
In the third match, Lou Xiaoxiao faced a disciple of the Mo Family and easily won.
“Fourth match. Su Mingyang versus Lou Qianxue. The two may take your place on stage now.”
It was the time for the long-awaited match. Everyone eagerly watched the stage.
However, they only saw the Duke of the Su Family hopping on stage in a charismatic and suave manner. He garnered cheers from the crowd and stole the hearts of many young ladies.
In Qingyun City, he was the best after Lou Xingchen. Moreover, he belonged to a good family and had a handsome appearance. Countless girls in Qingyun City had a crush on him.
But…
“Where is Lou Qianxue?”
Su Mingyang had gotten on stage, so why is Lou Qianxue still nowhere to be seen?
“Could it be that she does not dare to come?”
Everyone guessed.
“Yeah, yesterday she caused a ruckus when Duke Su was drunk… She probably knows that she is of no match for him and regrets picking a fight with him.”
Everyone thought it was the case.
Lou Jingfeng already hated Lou Qianxue. So when he saw that Lou Qianxue was treating this competition like a show, his face turned sullen. “Where is Lou Qianxue? If she does not come on stage, we would treat it as her giving up her spot. It would be counted as a loss.”
Su Mingyang stood on the stage and enjoyed being the center of warm attention. He couldn’t control the arrogant look on his face. After Lou Jingfeng had finished speaking, he felt happy and spoke, “City Lord Lou, I think that Lou Qianxue is afraid that I will seek revenge about her offending me yesterday. I think she doesn’t dare to appear today. Hurry and announce me as the winner. I won’t hold it against her regarding her rashness last night.”
When Lou Xiaoxiao heard that, her face turned red from anger. She stood up and glared at Su Mingyang. “Bullshit! Qianxue wouldn’t be afraid of you!”
Lou Xiaoxiao was indeed the legendary girl of Qingyun City. Other than her, no one in the entire city would dare to utter such vulgarities so unhesitatingly in such a situation.
