“March forward bravely…”

Qin Yuyan murmured. The confusion in her eyes gradually turned into sobriety.

She took a deep breath and put down the cat.

“Mr. Ye, thank you. I have the answer now.”

Ye Xiao nodded and continued reading while Qin Yuyan turned around and left.

The next two days passed in the blink of an eye.

In just two short days, the hottest topic of discussion in the entire Jianghai city was the sword art genius of the Han province, Piao Jiansheng, challenging the daughter of the Qin family of Jianghai city, Qin Yuyan.

Everyone naturally knew how powerful Piao Jiansheng was. Although they hated the people of Han state, Piao Jiansheng certainly made a name for himself as he was capable of defeating all the sword art martial artists of Jing province on his own.

As for Qin Yuyan’s strength, it was hard for everyone to judge.

The Qin family was the most powerful family in Jianghai city, and they had the backing of Qin Shenglong, one of the grandmasters of the city. Qin Yuyan’s sword art prowess was definitely not bad.

However, the problem was that compared to the entire Jing province, Jianghai city was not known to have much competition in that regard.

All the geniuses of Jing province had been defeated. Could Qin Yuyan do it?

Finally, on the third day of the unceasing popularity, the martial arts hall of Jianghai Martial Arts Academy welcomed the battle that was the focus of everyone’s attention.

In the waiting room outside the hall, Qin Shenglong stared intently at his granddaughter, whom he was most proud of.

“Yuyan, just calm down and try your best. Every move you take is already considered a victory!”

Qin Shenglong was not an idiot. He knew that his granddaughter was no match for Piao Jiansheng.

It was just like how the Qin family’s sword techniques could not possibly be higher than the sword techniques of those aristocratic families in the Jing province.

However, the longer she persisted, the more she could demonstrate the level of the Qin family’s sword techniques and her own talent.

Qin Yuyan took a deep breath and said with a trace of determination in her eyes,

“Grandfather, I have been under your tutelage for 21 years! In those years, I have listened to your every word and never dared to go against the Qin family’s ancestral teachings.

“However, today’s battle concerns the honor of the nine provinces, and it also concerns my future martial path.

“This time, no matter what I do, I hope grandfather can understand and support me!”

Qin Shenglong was stunned. He looked at Qin Yuyan with some confusion and puzzlement.

“Yuyan, you mean… ?”

Qin Yuyan walked past her grandfather toward the martial arts hall.

“I want to win this match.”

Qin Shenglong’s body suddenly trembled, and then his brows furrowed.

‘Does she have a fever or something?’

Shaking his head, he followed her.

In the martial arts hall, Piao Jiansheng was already standing on the stage since early in the morning.

Many girls in the surrounding stands were shouting words like ‘Piao Jiansheng, I love you’, causing the faces of many boys to turn ashen with anger.

Piao Jiansheng’s looks were indeed not bad, which attracted many girls.

However, Piao Jiansheng kept his hands behind his back and his eyes slightly closed, as if the noise in the surroundings had nothing to do with him.

It was not until a voice appeared that he suddenly opened his eyes.

“Qin Yuyan is here!”

As if to fight against the girls, some of the boys also began to jeer.

“Senior Qin, I love you!”

“Qin, defeat that pretentious chump!”

Piao Jiansheng opened his eyes. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his calm.

A real martial artist would never be too interested in anything other than martial arts.

Even if Qin Yuyan was indeed beautiful beyond the mortal world, it was far less meaningful than him improving his own strength.

Qin Shenglong also walked to the stands and sat beside Professor Du Changfeng.

“How is it? Is Yuyan’s okay?”

Du Changfeng asked.

Qin Shenglong sighed.

“I’m not too sure. I feel that she’s a little strange today.”

“Strange?”

Du Changfeng looked at Qin Yuyan on the field and felt something strange.
