After a simple dinner, the three then rushed to the underground fighting match. Han Qingwu did not want her sister to learn that she was participating in it, so she shut down her phone directly.
“How many matches are going to be held in the finals?” Tang Xiu, who sat back in the seat and glanced at Han Qingwu.
“Two matches in total, the first being one semifinal and the other one to determine the champion,” said Han Qingwu.
“Be careful in the match, and just throw in the towel if you see that you’re no match for the opponent,” said Tang Xiu with a nod. “It’s not worth to lose your life just because of a trivial arena fight.”
“I know.”
Though Han Qingwu replied like that, she secretly made up her mind to not lose the match even if she had to risk her life. She could not let Tang Xiu see her in contempt.
Ji Mu, who was driving, was surprised, “Is Miss Han participating in the underground fighting match, and you’re also one of the top four powerhouses from the thousands of contenders in the entire country in this event?”
“Yeah!” Answered Han Qingwu casually with an indifferent expression.
Ji Mu was slightly taken aback. The moment he first saw Han Qingwu, he thought that she was a delicate and weak young woman. The thought that she actually had a dreadful strength hidden beneath her tender appearance had never crossed his mind at all. Nonetheless, when he recalled Tang Xiu’s identity, as well as why he came to personally accompany her, Ji Mu felt relaxed as it was very likely that she was also a cultivator.
Upon realizing it, Ji Mu suddenly felt that he just made a wise and correct decision today, and he could obtain many unexpected benefits if he could maintain a good relationship with Tang Xiu.
Moreover, Tang Xiu had promised to bestow him a great gift when he got married.
Ji Mu was wondering what great gift was it, and suddenly had a burning wish inside and looked forward to it.
The Emerald Resort was located in the Southern suburbs of Changxi City in a spot that was surrounded by hills and waters—a dreamlike landscape that was decorated with countless lanterns. The resort was very large and also employed an absolute privacy policy, and did not receive ordinary guests. One must obtain a recommendation from two members if they wanted to have a vacation in this place, while they were also required to have at least 20-million-yuan net worth in wealth.
“The security here is quite good,” lamented Tang Xiu, observing through the glass when the car drove toward the entrance of the Emerald Resort.
More than 40 robust security guards dressed in black suits were directing the arriving vehicles in a systematic order, where the guests who had passed the security checks were then guided to board a viewing car to the inside. While in the dark, there were at least a dozens of experts who were good at concealment and quietly observed their every movement.
Tang Xiu estimated that if he brought Mo Awu and the other eleven men and tried to enter this place forcefully, he would likely have to spend some time and strength to get inside. Suddenly, his expression moved and looked slightly stunned, since he saw that Mo Au had appeared outside the door.
“Let’s get off!” Tang Xiu touched Han Qingwu and directly opened the door.
Soon after, the four arrived in the front entrance guarded dozens of stocky men wearing Chinese tunics. An energetic white-haired old man then greeted them with a light smile, “Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen, please show me your identification.”
Han Qingwu took out a black card and lightly said, “I’m a participant of tonight’s event, and they are my friends.”
The white-haired old man stared blankly, surprised. He did not expect that there would be such an elegant and beautiful woman among the top four of the national underground fighting match. After scanning the black card and finding that it was genuine, he immediately said, “You are indeed a participant, but you can only take up to two people according to the rules of the underground fighting arena.”
“I brought my own card.” Ji Mu took out a gold card and lightly said.
The white-haired old man smiled faintly and said, “The Ji Family’s Young Master is a gold card member of our Emerald Resort, so you naturally can enter. The four of you, please get on the viewing car, it will take you to the arena.”
The Emerald Resort boasted a large area, and the viewing car crossed nearly half of it in a circle before stopping in front of a three-story villa about seven-plus minutes later. At the entrance in front, dozens of beautiful girls with slouching and long hairs and donned in white formal dresses were waiting in an orderly line.
One of them walked out of the line and quickly came to the front of the three, saying, “Good evening and welcome to the Emerald Resorts, three honored guests. I’m Xiaoying, may I ask whether the three of you would like to watch the fighting match?”
“Yes!” Tang Xiu nodded.
“Then, please come with me!” Xiaoying smiled.
Under her guidance, the three entered the villa’s hall straight to the elevator. Inside, Xiaoying pressed the basement button and the elevator then dropped down for more than 20 meters. As it stopped and the door was opened, Xioaying smilingly said, “The underground fighting arena is here, and is quite spacious with a built-in arena and auditorium. Three honored guests, please follow me. I’ll take you to the viewing booth assigned to you, and then I’ll lead you to the auditorium.”
“I’m not here to watch, but as a participant,” said Han Qingwu. “The organizers should have notified you ahead of time.”
“You’re a contender?”
Xiaoying was shocked and looked at Han Qingwu with a serious expression. After seeing Han Qingwu take out the black card, she immediately said, “Hello Miss, I’ll immediately escort you to the backstage. Our supervisor has long been waiting there.”
After that, she turned and said to Tang Xiu and Ji Mu, “Two gentlemen, could you please wait a minute? I’ll immediately come back to escort you after sending this lady.”
