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
Chapter 330 Second Round Concludes
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
Chapter 328 Street Gossip Spreads
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
Chapter 326 Commissioning of the Selection and the Opening Matches
In truth, Zhu Qunxiang held little genuine concern about the disk itself. His real intention was deliberately provoking Shen Yanliu.Throughout the earlier banquet, Shen Yanliu had shown him minimal courtesy, offering only a single perfunctory toast before focusing his attention almost exclusively on entertaining Li Xianjiang. This slight had left Zhu Qunxiang genuinely irritated.This particular interruption represented his deliberate, calculated response—a subtle challenge to Shen Yanliu's authority.Shen Yanliu naturally recognized Zhu Qunxiang's true motivation, yet given the ostensibly legitimate justification offered, he found himself without reasonable grounds to object.Zhu Qunxiang made his way toward the disk at a deliberately unhurried pace, a faint smile lingering throughout.Reaching the disk, Officer Qin stepped back respectfully. He glanced toward Shen Yanliu in the honored seating area, noting his visibly displeased expression.Standing beside the disk, Zhu Qunxiang's
