Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

"Silly girl... Aya..."

"Sister, don't say anything!!"

"Oh dear... you're getting anxious... who is it... I won't tell..."

"Did I teach you slang so you could roast me?!"

Lu Ling tried to apologize twice, but was interrupted by Lu Yao, who had a blank expression but seemed to be smiling.

Yu Zhe immediately realized that she was doing it on purpose.

Lu Yao, you're amazing.

Her intention was to prevent Lu Ling from apologizing like that, and to let it go as a joke.

Lu Yao has made great progress. This girl with no money, no connections, and no status has been trying to understand the feelings of the people she cherishes. This is also what Yu Zhe wants Lu Ling to understand: there's no need to be so cautious, just relax.

Just as the two sisters were about to make a move, they noticed that Young Master Yu Zhe and the young ladies were all looking at them with certain expressions.

Lu Ling quickly pressed Lu Yao's head down to make her stand at attention.

But the gazes of Ke Yuzhe and the others were not accusatory.

Instead, I felt relieved.

Everyone can see that the two sisters are indeed much more energetic, which is a good thing.

After this little incident, Yu Zhe checked the time and saw that there were still ten minutes until eight o'clock.

There's no time left... Are we just supposed to stand here and watch? It's not that it's not possible, but I feel a little regretful that we didn't give everyone the best seats.

At the crucial moment, Lin Yin stepped forward, stylishly placing one hand on her hip and swinging the other with a flourish, her leather jacket whistling through the air.

"They can reserve a spot all by themselves, so who says we didn't find someone to reserve a spot beforehand? Come with me! Let me show you what real spot-saving looks like!"

87. I want to fight ten of them!

Did Sister Lin Yin also ask someone to reserve a spot for her?

Unexpectedly, you found someone who could help you in this foreign land, and you were even able to anticipate and reserve a spot in advance.

This is indeed something to be encouraged for Sister Lin Yin...

Well...

"Um... Sister Lin Yin? Is this what you meant by 'reserving a spot'?"

"Yeah, how should I put it? Isn't it incredibly imposing and impressive?! I left this thing here the day before yesterday. If anyone tries to take it away, I'll break their legs!"

"That's so unreasonable of you..."

Not only was Yu Zhe speechless, but the girls also looked at each other, unsure of how to respond.

Indeed, at the very back, the largest pavilion was still empty.

Logically, an empty spot should be occupied, but this pavilion is just that extraordinary.

The other pavilions were packed with people, some even arguing over who got a spot, but this one was completely empty.

The reason there's no one there must be that large, framed photo in the very center of the pavilion.

That was a close-up of Lin Yin's head, along with an English note framed over the photo, which translated to mean: "This spot is reserved; do not enter."

That smile, so dashing; that expression, so confident.

In short, they are extremely arrogant!

Everyone else sends at least one person to reserve a spot, and you just post a whole photo?!

To be frank, putting such a big photo in the middle of here is just like... well, you know, that's how photos are usually displayed in ancestral halls, right?

It's unlucky to say, but it's definitely a bad omen!

Yu Zhe picked up the picture frame and placed it against the pillar.

"I'd believe you if you put a picture here and said it could ward off evil spirits, but why isn't anyone coming? It can't be that your picture scared people away, can it? It's not scary at all."

Yu Zhe glanced at the photo again. It was alright. Although you could tell from the photo that Sister Lin Yin was very good at fighting, it shouldn't be that no one dared to approach Zhan Tingzi.

Yang Qiuyun chuckled twice.

She clearly knows something.

Yu Che glared at her with a threatening look, and Yang Qiuyun had no choice but to explain the situation.

"Haha... Actually, I was just kidding when I said there were no seats. How could I not be prepared when I brought you all here? This is what I asked Lin Yin to put here a few days ago. You don't understand, in this city, as long as someone sees Lin Yin, whether she's a person or a ghost, they all have to go around her!"

"..."

Is this really that strange?

We can see Sister Lin Yin's great power in our hometown of Fenghai City, but she becomes a tyrant when she plays away from home?

There will be time to hear her explanation later. After Yu Zhe sat down, she gently patted the empty seat next to her twice, indicating that everyone should sit down first.

Why are you all standing here? Forget about how this pavilion was taken over; it would be foolish not to sit down when there's a place to sit.

There are three benches in the pavilion: one facing south, and two facing each other east and west.

Yu Zhe sat in the middle of the south-facing seats, and the two seats next to him were naturally taken by the two people standing closest to him.

There's no room for courtesy or skill in this; it's all about luck.

On the left is Zixiao, and on the right is Yun'er.

Little Lychee was a step too slow, so she could only wave her hand and sigh as she sat down on the bench on the west side, just like a little adult.

Xiao Meng, being petite, sat obediently next to Yun'er, at least being closer to Yu Zhe.

But Yu Che remained unmoved.

.

After they were all seated in turn.

Yu Che calmly took small steps and stood in front of Zi Xiao.

Their gazes clashed violently in mid-air, and Zixiao had a premonition that this guy's next words would definitely be...

—Move aside, go sit somewhere else.

Just because you're the older sister doesn't mean you can always bully honest people. I got this by sheer luck.

Zixiao was prepared to never give up her position, no matter what.

But to everyone's surprise, Yu Che actually moved a step to the right, which meant he moved right in front of Yu Zhe.

Then she turned around on the spot, opened her arms, and naturally leaned backward due to inertia.

"Hey?!"

Yu Zhe couldn't refuse; if he didn't, Yu Che's head might hit Yu Zhe's forehead, or even smash directly onto the bench.

You're not a little lychee; you can't outsmart a blockhead!

Yu Che dared to be so presumptuous only because he expected this.

With this movement, she landed on her back and fell into Yu Zhe's arms.

"Hey~ Brother caught it perfectly."

"How could I possibly be wrong?! You... sigh, never mind."

got used to.

Yu Che's demonstration was textbook-level, but apart from her, no one else could actually learn from it.

Let me show you with my actions where the best spot is!

Do you think sitting next to your brother is the best seat?

Small, the layout is small.

Yu Che rubbed her back against him, and her pure white lace-trimmed shirt made Yu Zhe's lower abdomen feel a little itchy even through the fabric.

Soon, she sat upright on the gap in the wooden chair where Yu Zhe's legs were not together.

Yu Zhe was really glad she hadn't closed her legs, otherwise she wouldn't be sitting on a chair.

To prevent Yu Che from doing anything even more outrageous, and seeing that the fireworks display wouldn't start for about three minutes, Yu Zhe immediately changed the subject back to the question from the beginning.

"So what's the deal with this photo? I don't think Sister Lin Yin is that scary."

"Thank you so much, Xiao Yuzhe, I'm really grateful for what you said today..." "Pfft..."

Just as Lin Yin was about to say that she was very touched, Yang Qiuyun couldn't help but laugh first.

All my feelings of being touched have vanished!

But since Lady Qiuyun was her superior, she couldn't say much. Lin Yin rested her chin on her hand, looked up at the sky in a huff, and glanced at Yang Qiuyun with disdain, as if to say, "You answer Yu Zhe's question."

Weren't you laughing happily?

I'll answer, I'll answer! I couldn't be happier. You should feel honored to have something that shows your power.

Yang Qiuyun gave a wry smile and began to tell everyone her story.

"Listen up, my Lin Yin is incredibly skilled. This city has a tradition of valuing martial arts, and various styles collide and merge here. Every few years, there's a citywide martial arts competition with no rules; whoever beats whom wins."

Your city has quite a few traditions. Fireworks festivals used to celebrate light, but now they're celebrating violence?

You call this a tourist city?

That's pretty hardcore.

It's obvious that since she brought this up, it must mean that Sister Lin Yin also participated and even won the championship.

But Yu Zhe still didn't understand: "Even if this kind of competition is well-known, it can't be known by everyone in the city, right? And even if you win the championship, you're not some kind of criminal gang, so won't everyone forget about it after a while?"

In short, Yu Zhe doesn't think that just because of this, posting a photo should be enough to make people keep their distance; it shouldn't have such a deterrent effect.

But Yang Qiuyun's next answer perfectly resolved all of Yu Zhe's doubts.

“It’s normal for you to say that. But Yu Zhe, you don’t know the specifics of that competition. Your sister Lin Yin is a weak woman, but she participated in the men’s competition.”

At this point, you should all be shocked enough.

But Yang Qiuyun wasn't finished speaking.
