In the courtyard of the Li Mansion, Li Yuliang lay in a spreading pool of blood. His lips trembled and his pupils were losing focus. Through the failing blur of his vision he could see the guards converging on him, and at the far end of the corridor, a graceful, elegant woman had pushed past her attendants and was running toward him. The gold hairpins in her hair caught the sunlight.

Li Yuliang could no longer see her face clearly, but he knew his aunt had come. He smiled, a broken, faint smile

    Standing on the platform, Shen Mihuan watched Mo Qian with clear recognition, remembering this particular competitor who'd once appeared notably thinner and less imposing than herself.Just a year earlier, this same young man had made his living as a humble street painter. Now he stood competing alongside her in this year's selection assembly, having already demonstrated genuine great-accomplishment-level mastery.She still vividly recalled the first day of this competition, watching Mo Qian send Qiu Tong flying with such casual ease—the memory had genuinely shaken her composure at the time.If pressed to identify her least desired opponent across these three days of competition, Mo Qian would certainly top that particular list.Standing beside Shen Mihuan, Xia Shuangshuang harbored an entirely different perspective. This particular matchup pleased her considerably—watching two great-accomplishment-level competitors face off against each other significantly eased her own competitive p

  • Chapter 331 Fatal Matchup

    Extending his spiritual sense outward, he identified Zhu Xiaoqi waiting outside. Mo Qian immediately rose from bed, crossed the courtyard, and opened the gate.The dim lamplight illuminated Zhu Xiaoqi's features.She pressed several buns wrapped in dried lotus leaves into Mo Qian's hands. "I made your portion tonight—why didn't you come over?"Mo Qian simply offered an awkward smile, saying nothing in response.Zhu Xiaoqi handed him an unsealed letter. "Miss Yu asked me to give you this."Something flickered in Mo Qian's eyes as he accepted it."I should go," Zhu Xiaoqi said, and without waiting for his response, she vanished swiftly into the night.Mo Qian watched her departing figure briefly, then closed the courtyard gate and carried both the buns and the letter back into his inner chamber.Setting the buns on his table, Mo Qian withdrew the letter paper from its unsealed envelope, examining it beneath the lamplight.The letter contained only three brief lines, clearly written in X

    Mo Qian turned around, finding Lu Qingzhu's clear eyes filled with genuine gratitude.Lu Qingzhu possessed a straightforward, sincere nature—since Mo Qian had helped resolve the crisis, expressing proper thanks felt only natural to her.Unexpectedly, however, Mo Qian turned toward her and bowed formally, clasping his fists. "This humble servant offers greetings to the honored envoy!"Lu Qingzhu blinked in surprise, not having anticipated this particular response from him.Amo laughed, looking at Mo Qian. "Old Touch! Let me treat you to some beef soup!"She gestured toward the stall situated not far behind them.Mo Qian replied, "This humble one has already eaten, thank you. Honored envoy, I have other matters requiring my attention—please excuse me!"With that, Mo Qian turned and walked away briskly.Watching Mo Qian's hurried departure disappear around a street corner, Amo murmured, "Miss, is that fellow deliberately avoiding us?"Lu Qingzhu's eyes sparkled with amusement. "He's not

  • Chapter 329 Unexpected Medical Emergency at the Beef Soup Stall

    Many people were actively debating rankings of beauty among the three women. Shen Mihuan seemed generally regarded as a clear third place, though opinions remained sharply divided regarding whether Xia Shuangshuang or Xiao Yu deserved the top position.One particularly opinionated elderly man across the street, sitting outside a restaurant with his pet goat, shook his head decisively and declared, "Xia Shuangshuang's too thin, all bone—Xiao Yu's got proper curves without looking excessive. Xiao Yu wins, hands down!"Mo Qian nearly choked on his mouthful of beef soup.At that moment, Mo Qian's brow suddenly furrowed, and he lowered his head deliberately.Because his spiritual sense had detected Lu Qingzhu and Amo approaching from across the street, making their way directly toward this very beef soup stall.Mo Qian had no particular desire for further interaction with this sect envoy. Having already demonstrated his great-accomplishment-level strength, assuming everything proceeded nor

    Some spectators, unable to endure the lengthening evening, had already begun dispersing. Still, many remained, watching with persistent interest. Even the elderly temple keeper, having initially observed from the periphery, had gradually made his way toward the front row.By torchlight, another figure fell from the plum blossom stakes, marking the conclusion of the twelfth and final match.A tall young man remained standing atop the stakes, wiping sweat from his brow with a satisfied grin before leaping down.Officer Qin's voice rang out almost simultaneously."First round, twelfth match—Yue Feng wins!"Once announced, Officer Qin moved quickly toward the officials' recording table positioned before the platform, retrieving the compiled documentation before glancing toward the honored seating area.Officer Qin bowed with the documents in hand. "Esteemed Magistrate, honored envoys, respected elders! The first of three preliminary rounds has concluded. The accumulated points stand as fo

  • Chapter 327 Revealing Hidden Strength in the Third Match

    Just as Xue Yu's blade closed to within mere inches of Gui Zong's face, its speed suddenly slowed considerably!This particular technique, "White Rainbow Piercing the Sun," proved devastatingly effective only within close range.Gui Zong, having initially feared the technique's reach, had cautiously tested the engagement distance—through this careful probing, he'd finally confirmed the exact range at which Xue Yu's signature move lost its full effectiveness.Xue Yu's expression turned cold as frost!Though devastating within its optimal range, this particular technique carried a significant limitation—it couldn't accommodate closer engagement, since executing it required specific spatial distance for the necessary body movement.Yet the technique also proved ineffective at greater distances—while powerful in its designed range, it demanded considerable stamina that couldn't sustain prolonged engagement!Having successfully identified the exact distance required for Xue Yu's signature
