Chapter 28: The Splendor in the Eyes of a Beautiful Woman

If Yu Hualong can't beat him, can't he hide from him?

Chu Wuji looked disheveled and covered in blood, suspected to be injured, but Yu Hualong didn't dare to gamble, as he was really scared by the punch he had received before.

If Chu Wuzhi drags his injured body and kills Yu Hualong with one punch, it will be difficult to find an excuse!

Before the final began, Yu Hualong directly told Shang Liangzheng that he would withdraw and not come.

"Master Yu, this isn't right. We finally managed to gather all the people, but suddenly they gave up. I can't explain this to all these people!"

Shang Liangzheng said this with a stiff upper lip, he was also in a dilemma at the moment.

I didn’t expect that the new rule of “temporary registration” added this year would cause such a big mess!

The Three Swords Competition is indeed complicated now, and its value has been depleted to the point where it is no longer visible, but for the sake of appearance, it is still an official event of the Lihuo Court.

If the mistake is too big and becomes a huge joke, it will be a disgrace to the court and someone will lose their head!

Minister Yu also came to see in the evening. He was filled with regret. This was all a mess and he would not be able to escape the consequences.

There are so many people looking for Shang Liangzheng to buy the first prize, why is it that when it comes to his family, all the trouble comes!

"This Chu Wuji is dressed like a disabled patient. If Hualong wins, it will seem like an unfair victory. If he loses, it will feel like he can't even beat a wounded soldier. I'll be humiliated!"

Yu Hualong frowned and asked:

"Can you please reject Chu Wuji's last-minute registration? He withdrew from the preliminary round and then last-minute registered for the finals. How can such a good thing happen?"

Shang Liangzheng looked depressed, feeling that this was the only way.

This incident has already offended many people, and he cannot offend Minister Yu again, otherwise no one will speak well of him.

At least one of the friendly forces must be comfortable!

Shang Liang was about to go to the arena to speak, but he was too embarrassed to show his face, so he gave Deputy Coach Qin a look.

Deputy Coach Qin's face looked as ugly as if he had eaten a fly, but he had no other choice but to force his way to the arena and stand in front of Uncle Kong and Chu Wuzhi.

"Last-minute registration is a new rule this year, but it also depends on who's registering. Chu Wuji got scared and withdrew from the preliminary round, but now he's here to register for the finals?"

Deputy Coach Qin thought about his lines as he spoke, trying to make his words sound as righteous as possible. He continued:

"Everyone who participates in the competition fights all day, exhausted, relying on willpower and endurance to stand in the finals! You hid all day, gathering your strength, and only showed up at the last moment. How unethical!"

Uncle Kong had a mouthful of thick phlegm in his throat, and he spat it in his face, cursing:

"How can you call those awful things you and Shang Liangzheng did martial virtue? Do you want me to reveal the truth to you all and entertain you all?"

The spectators in the stands were naturally happy to watch the show, and they cheered without thinking it was a big deal.

But Shang Liangzheng and Deputy Coach Qin couldn't let this old man act recklessly here, as the impact would be too bad.

Shang Liang was secretly calling out to the soldiers: "Go and take the troublemakers away!"

Chu Wuji was still quite confused. He knew that he had missed the time long ago and had never thought about participating in the competition again.

His current plan is to return the horse first, then go home to take a shower and chat with his godmother.

If he hadn't seen a few familiar faces playing mahjong when he was about to enter the city, he wouldn't have stopped.

Chu Wuji saw the soldiers coming and smiled and advised:

"Uncle Kong, relax. This is nothing serious. Besides, what Deputy Coach Qin said makes sense. I gave up earlier, so how can I interfere in the finals?"

Uncle Kong sighed helplessly and said no more.

He knew that Shang Liangzheng had made it clear that there was no possibility of Chu Wuzhi being allowed to play again, and it would be a waste of breath to talk too much.

At this time, a disciple from the Sword Forging Villa came riding over on horseback. Before the horse's hooves had even stopped, he shouted loudly:

"In the sword fighting competition next door, my senior brother Ringo has been fighting all day and his old injury has relapsed. He has no choice but to give up his chance in the finals, but someone wants to sign up at the last minute!

The opponent is Miss Qingying, the mysterious woman who broke through the competition here!"

The villa did find out about Miss Qingying's power background. If they hadn't checked, they wouldn't have known about it. They were shocked to find out that she was actually a member of the Yun family.

This is a force that cannot be dealt with. Since Yun Qingying cannot be asked to leave, the eldest brother Ringo can only take a step back.

Otherwise, if he was knocked down by a punch, it would be too embarrassing and would bring shame to his master's sect.

Therefore, the villa is now looking for "temporary workers" everywhere, hoping to find someone to save the situation. Since they are all losing anyway, it doesn't matter who they find, as long as they can be seen as a martial artist.

Uncle Kong, with the mentality of giving it a try, asked on behalf of Chu Wuji:

"This Chu Wuji was away on official business and had no choice but to give up. Can I register now?"

The disciples of the villa were in a dilemma. It was a bit unreasonable to give up and then go on stage, but it didn't matter.

Anyone who goes on the field will be knocked down by Yun Qingying with one punch. Now that someone is willing to be the unlucky guy, then don't be so picky.

He replied, "Okay, it's you! Are you sure you can go on stage? You can't give up at the last minute, otherwise I'll force you to go on stage even if I have to!"

Uncle Kong's eyebrows lit up with joy, and he urged, "Hurry up, Wuji, ride to the north gate! We've been bored all day, and we're just waiting for you to show us some tough moves!"

Chu Wuji looked towards the north gate and thought, "It would be convenient to return the military horse there, so I could go there."

He mounted his horse and immediately rushed to the North Gate, while several yamen officials also packed up their card tables and hurried to the North Gate.

Uncle Kong suddenly cursed, "Who stole my winning hand?"

Yan Daliu said innocently, "Let's go, why bother with this? The important thing is to help Wu Ji!"

The disciple of the villa was about to ride back on horseback, but he turned back and said to the spectators below the arena:

"Miss Qingying, who's capable of knocking down opponents with every punch, is right next door. The finals are about to begin. It's still not too late to rent a carriage and rush over. We've been waiting for this final, exciting match all day, haven't we?

I can’t catch the iron flower show, but I can get some free Laojiao liquor!”

After saying this, the disciple of the villa ran away quickly. If he didn't run away, he would be beaten. His behavior was equivalent to attracting customers for his own restaurant in someone else's restaurant.

Off the field, many of the older men stood up and left, renting a carriage to go to the north gate, while the wealthy ladies stayed behind to support Mr. Yu, who came from an extraordinary family.

The organizer of the martial arts competition at the South Gate was so angry that he almost vomited blood when he saw that more than half of the spectators were gone.

But now, he can only force himself to cater to those rich ladies and vote to "resurrect" a young man, at least to finish the finals.

North Gate, Nightfall

The dusk was about to fade away, leaving only a rouge-like cloud hanging alone in the sky.

The fireworks are over, and now it’s time for the iron flower show. The bright sparks are flying, acting as the stars in the night sky in advance.

Everyone in the villa was extremely anxious because they didn't want their family members to go up and embarrass themselves, but they couldn't find a suitable person to replace them.

Many disciples were sent to recruit people to sign up, but there has been no follow-up so far.

"What's going on? Did you find the person? Once this iron flower making is over, if you still can't find the person, you will be embarrassed."

"How did the Yun family raise this girl? Her strength is too terrifying. She knocked a strong Xiwu man away with one punch, and no one was able to fight back!"

"Hey, one of my junior brothers has set off a signal smoke signal. He must have found the unlucky guy to be beaten!"

The eldest brother Ringo looked at the sky in the direction of the city, where a red smoke rose, indicating that the matter was accomplished.

"Have the flower maker perform another somersault. If that doesn't work, have him do a split. Buy him some more time until someone comes over!"

There was no work to do at the villa, so they just had to deal with it, and in the end they just had to distribute drinks, which finally dragged the "unlucky guy" over.

The disciples of the villa hurried to meet him, and seeing Chu Wuzhi's dusty appearance, they almost thought that he had just escaped from a bandit's den.

"Why is he a wounded soldier? Are you here for a duel? Why don't you wipe the dust and blood off your face?"

Chu Wuji waved his hand. He just wanted to finish quickly and go back to take a shower. He asked:

"Can we go up now, or do we have to wait for some other step?"

The sword fighting competition has been delayed for quite some time, so it is natural to start it as soon as possible. The disciples of the villa are very worried that the wounded man will be killed by one punch, but there is no other way.

“You can go up now!”

......

On the tower,

Queen Wen and others also heard that Yun Qingying had arranged the competition between the two sides. The whole thing was because of the newly added temporary registration rule.

Although the Lihuo Jianghu didn't start to become corrupt this year, it became so ugly that they lost all interest in watching the fun.

After the iron flower performance ended, they all wanted to leave.

Queen Wen said, "Go back. There won't be any suspense. The girl that the Yun family secretly cultivated is indeed very powerful. It seems that she is going to be sent to the immortal family for cultivation?"

Many things have traces to follow. If the Yun family was only training Yun Qingying for martial arts attainments, they would definitely let her compete with others everywhere.

The martial arts in the martial arts world are abolished, but the training of royal guards and military camps will not be affected. This concerns the safety of the royal family and the national borders, and it is impossible to be lax.

If there had not been today's competition, I'm afraid the world would not know that the Yun family has such a powerful daughter. The Yun family would most likely send this girl to the immortal family to practice, so as to prevent her from picking up bad martial arts habits.

Princess Jing'an agreed with Queen Wen's statement and said with a helpless smile:

"The Yun family's patriarch is really not giving Shang Liangzheng and the others face. If this girl fights like this, any new leader who emerges in the future will inevitably be compared to her. Who can compare?"

There were also many royal ladies and noble ladies on the city wall, all of whom came to join in the fun.

Wen Yaoer carried the little white tiger and took a walk around with them, showing off her cat, before returning to the two beautiful elders with juicy and plump bodies like peaches.

"Are we going back?" asked the girl holding the silver-tabby cat.

"Xiao Yao'er, if you still want to chat with the noble ladies over there, go ahead. Your aunt and I are sitting here chatting anyway, so it's okay to go back later."

Wen Yaoer had the idea of ​​going back. After watching the iron flower show, there was nothing interesting to watch afterwards.

Yun Qingying beat people too easily, and the fight ended with one punch, and there was not much exciting to see.

The little white tiger suddenly twisted its body, as if it smelled something, and poked its head out of the city wall. Unfortunately, its head was big and its neck was short, so it couldn't see anything.

"What's going on here?"

Princess Yao'er walked to the city wall and looked down. Her bright eyes suddenly lit up and a look of surprise appeared on her little face.

"It's Brother Chu!"

She waved repeatedly, trying to attract the other person's attention, but there were so many people below, and there were more spectators than during the day, that the girl's voice was drowned out by the noisy waves of people.

Queen Wen and Princess Jing'an noticed the girl's behavior. The two graceful and beautiful women stood up, came to the girl's side, and looked down together. Sure enough, they saw Chu Wuzhi.

The young man was no longer dressed as a normal boy. He was wearing a black warrior robe, his hair was slightly messy, and his handsome face was covered with dust, blood, and scars, which made people wonder if he had just finished a bloody battle.

Princess Jing'an thought of Yao'er's previous words and said in surprise, "He went to Yunhe Town, right? He looks so miserable, could he have just returned from exorcising a demon?"

Queen Wen was stunned. She had just seen this young man in her bedroom not long ago. It was Wen Yaoer who brought him into the palace. He was dressed in simple and old training clothes.

Now I just changed my clothes, and the change is so big!

Chu Wuji's "rustic and outdated" warrior robe evoked Queen Wen's memories of the past, when she still had many admirations and fantasies about the heroes in the story.

Chapter 29: The Ladies Are Watching the Trend

Below the arena, many people were curious about Chu Wuji's identity.

Suddenly someone "dropped in" to the finals, which raised suspicions of a shady match-fixing, but the man who came on stage looked quite embarrassed, making people curious about what he had been doing before.

Ning Xianzhi also came nearby. She noticed Chu Wuzhi's presence and found that he did not go home immediately, but went to the outside of the north city gate. So she moved here to see what was going on.

She didn't expect to see Yun Qingying and Chu Wuzhi here, and the two children she admired very much were about to compete.

Ning Xianzhi had no idea that the Yun family would let this girl participate in the Three Swords Competition, and she had no idea that Chu Wuzhi, who had given up, would be able to play in the finals.

"How did this come together? I never thought that this show-off arena would eventually pit these two kids against each other."

She was surprised and amused by this fate, but also a little worried.

"Even if Wu Ji hadn't been traveling these past two days, he's still just an ordinary warrior. Without embarking on the path of cultivation, he's at a significant disadvantage!"

"Let's just say that fighting is the beginning of friendship. In the future, taking these two children up the mountain will be a good opportunity for us to encourage and supervise each other."
