Chapter 10: The Fight in the Valley (2/2)

Qin Zhao defeated Luobei City’s cultivator with one move and smiled arrogantly as he stood victorious. He accepted the applause and cheers of the Luosang City group.

“Zhao, you’re amazing!” At this moment, a slender and elegant young lady rushed out from the cheering crowd and sweetly shouted as she ran in front of Qin Zhao. She took out a fragrant handkerchief and under everybody’s eyes, gently wiped the sweat off Qin Zhao’s face.

Seeing this scene, the shouts and cheers from Luosang City grew even louder. 看到这一幕，洛桑城这边的呼叫声更大了。

The young girl was Lu Wushuang and was known as Luosang City’s flower. She was from the Lu Family, another great power in Luosang City. She was also one of the chosen candidates of the Martial Exam.

The Qin and Lu Family had always had a tradition of mutual marriage. The Qin Family’s original arranged marriage candidate was supposed to be the former genius Qin Yu, but after he was turned into a cripple, he was replaced by Qin Zhao. Everyone scorned cripples and Lu Wushuang also wouldn’t marry a cripple.

Qin Zhao was her best choice. Right now, Qin Zhao was bursting with radiance and his glory was her glory. That’s why she immediately rushed out in front of everyone and basked in the crowd’s applause and flowers, as well as the envy of other women.

Not to mention, there were indeed many girls who stared at Lu Wushuang who stood at the center with envy. They also wished they could stand there, accepting everybody’s flowers and applause and becoming the center of attention.

“Haha! Qin Biao, my old pal, my family’s Shuang’er and your family’s Zhao’er really deserve to be called a match made in heaven! They’re really well suited for each other! A talented man and a beautiful woman; a hero and a beauty. Haha…!”

In front of the Luosang City crowd, two men were standing shoulder to shoulder. One of them was Lu Jing, Lu Wushuang’s father who was a man in his fifties, as well as the Lu Family Master. The other man who was slightly younger was Qin Zhao’s father, Qin Biao.

The one who just spoke was Lu Jing. He stroked the black beard on his chin as he stared at the young male and female in the middle of the crowd. His eyes were filled with satisfaction.

“Haha, what the Lu Family Master said is right ah! My family’s Zhao’er’s strength is growing stronger and stronger, becoming more and more outstanding! Only a woman with Shuang’er’s talent is a match for my son. Hahaha!” Qin Biao laughed with even more joy as his eyes and nose scrunched together because of the huge smile on his face.

Lu Jing nodded with satisfaction. “En! Zhao’er really matured quickly. Now his strength is already at the same level as Qin Yu previously was.”

“Haha!” Qin Biao laughed disdainfully. “Qin Yu is just a cripple! Right now he isn’t even worthy enough to carry Zhao’er’s shoes!”

Just as he was about to finish speaking, Qin Biao suddenly felt a chill from behind him. He was scared him stiff as he quickly turned to look around. Behind him, he could only see a fire illuminating the field of shouting and screaming youths. 。

“Right ah! Now Qin Yu really isn’t fit to even be mentioned along with Zhao’er. It’s lucky that Shuang’er didn’t get engaged to him at the beginning, otherwise, our Lu Family would really be humiliated ah! Hey, Qin Biao, what happened?” Halfway through his speech, Lu Jing noticed something was wrong with Qin Biao and hastily turned his head to look at him and ask.

Qin Biao hurriedly turned his head back and laughed. “It’s nothing! Nothing at all!”

“Nothing?” Lu Jing glanced behind him doubtfully and saw there really was nothing before he decided to leave it be.

Toward the back, Qin Yu and Wang Murong had long since quietly entered the valley and stood amongst the crowd. They just so happened to see Qin Zhao and Lu Wushuang’s intimate scene before hearing Qin Biao and Lu Jing’s conversation.

Just now, it was Qin Yu who had released a bout of cold air toward Qin Biao.

Beside him, Wang Murong could sense Qin Yu’s aura change and hurriedly pulled him from the crowd.

“Qin Xiong, there’s nothing good here. Let’s go find somewhere to camp.”

She was worried that Qin Yu would feel unwell after seeing Qin Zhao and Lu Wushuang’s intimacy. She had researched all the geniuses of each city to a certain extent, which was why she had some knowledge regarding Qin Yu and Lu Wushuang’s past relationship.

Qin Yu didn’t actually care about Lu Wushuang at all. Lu Wushuang was merely the flower of the small Luosang City. Any woman he had before was more beautiful than her. Even if he didn’t mention the past, right now, the girl right beside him was a hundred times better in both temperament and beauty.

What he was furious about were Qin Biao’s words. He wasn’t even worthy to hold Qin Zhao’s shoes? What was Qin Zhao even worth? He used such despicable methods to become number one in the Qin Family by plotting against Qin Yu and turning him into a cripple that everyone disdained. Qin Yu didn’t believe that it had been Qin Zhao alone that plotted against him. After all, Qin Zhao was merely a 19-year-old boy, so would he really have the guts and capabilites? That’s why the real culprit behind everything must have been Qin Biao, that old bastard.

“What are you so arrogant about? Is defeating somebody who had only just broken through to the peak of Origin Realm really worth showing off so much?”

At this moment, a young and cold voice rang out from the crowd. Who was it? Engulfed by curiosity, Qin Yu didn’t accept Wang Murong’s suggestion to camp. Instead, he turned around to enter the crowd again as he said, “Let’s go see who it is.”

The fire burned in the middle of the encampments as a young woman stepped forward, confronting Qin Zhao. Lu Wushuang had already returned to the crowd.

It was a young girl dressed completely in black with a beautiful long and slender build. She stood there with her beautiful hair dancing freely in the wind, making her seem even more graceful and otherworldly. She looked just like a cold and elegant fairy that descended from the Heavens.
