Holding onto the girl's hand, Qin Mu felt the softness and smoothness of her hands, causing his heart to flutter for a second. However, Fu Tingyue's ruthlessness still made him extremely uncomfortable.
Turning back to look at the flat stage on the lake, Fu Tingyue didn't stop even after cutting off all ten fingers of his opponent. Instead, he continued to cut the wrist of his opponent, becoming more excited than a wild beast.
”This is a lunatic! But come to think of it, this Young Master Fu Tingyue seems to have some connections with me.”
Qin Mu pondered inside his head. Back when Granny Si picked him up from the riverside, she was scared he would die young. Therefore she infiltrated into Border Dragon City and kidnapped the City Lord's Mistress who had just given birth. After turning her into a milk cow to nurse Qin Mu, she helped him get over the stage of premature death.
The child that the City Lord's Mistress had given birth to was most likely Fu Tingyue.
Qin Mu grew up feeding on his mother's milk and that's where their connections lie.
Qin Mu turned back his head and there was already no way of survival for the youth on the flat stage. For a hundred dragon coins, he came into the City Lord's Manor to fight in the arena. He naturally had some ability if he dared to come in the first place. However, he didn't expect to lose his life here.
The River Suppression Floor celebrated with songs and dances as Qin Mu followed Ling Yuxiu into the building. He saw dancers dancing inside the buildings and whenever their fingers glided through the air, it would give off crisp tinkling sounds. It was the sound of their vital qi. Every head raise and every stomp of the feet accompanied the tempo of the music.
Qin Mu clicked his tongue in wonder after seeing how the dancers could dance gracefully and use vital qi to make beautiful music.
At the two sides of the building, there were numerous small tables where many out of the ordinary people sat down for the banquet, having a drinking party. Some were enjoying the song and dance while others were watching the flat stage on the lake enjoying the fight.
The situation on the flat stage was very miserable. The copper muscles and iron bone youth was tortured beyond recognition. However, no one in the building stopped his torturer.
Ling Yuxiu dragged Qin Mu directly to the small tables and sat down naturally without any regards to being an outsider.
Sitting inside River Suppression Floor were strong practitioners from all over the world who were extraordinarily formidable. The sight of the two youths astonished them but they didn't open their mouths to inquire.
In their minds, this jade couple should be the disciples of some expert, taking the chance to come to River Suppression Floor to join in the fun and widen their horizons.
On the small table were priceless, unique fruits and delicacies. There were priceless strange beasts that were cooked sumptuously, which were fresh and tender, causing Qin Mu's fingers to start moving uncontrollably.
Since morning, he had been dragged by Granny Si to sell the livestock and goods. Therefore he hasn't had anything to eat and had long been hungry.
Qin Mu tasted the food in front of him and his eyes lit up. He felt that even his tongue was going to melt from the deliciousness and couldn't keep his attention off the delicacies. On the other hand, Ling Yuxiu, who said that she was hungry only ate two mouthfuls and placed down her chopsticks, then watched Qin Mu gorging himself with great interest.
Seated at the small table beside Qin Mu was the Cult Mistress whose beauty stirred the entire city. She also looked interestingly at Qin Mu and the young girl beside him.
”Is she Granny Si or not?” Qin Mu thought to himself.
Other than her, there was also another person glancing towards Qin Mu from time to time. Qin Mu felt his gaze and raised his head to have a look, becoming slightly stunned. The person was wearing an armor and didn't remove it even when attending a banquet. He was the young general, Qin Feiyue, who he had the affinity to meet twice on Surging River.
”Qin Feiyue is also here? He didn't return to Eternal Peace Empire?”
Qin Mu was astonished and continued to tackle the food in front of him. Ling Yuxiu snickered, ”That little general keeps looking at you, does he know you?”
Qin Mu swallowed down the food and gave it some thought before replying, ”We had the affinity to meet twice. There's also a chubby fatty seventh young master beside him. However, I don't know where he went.”
Ling Yuxiu got angry and pinched him on his arm.
Qin Mu didn't know what this girl was angry about and thought to himself. ”This girl sure is weird. The General Qin Feiyue is also pretty weird. When this girl pinched me, he stopped himself from almost jumping up. The one getting pinched is me and not him so why is he feeling the pain…”
Suddenly, an elder spoke, ”City Lord, is that your son outside? What great skills. I've heard that Young Master Tingyue is the strongest martial arts practitioners among the younger generation in Border Dragon City. Now that I've seen it today, he is indeed extraordinary.”
Fu Yundi smiled, ”You've praised him too much, Elder Bai Shan. My son had only learned some coarse techniques, making a fool of out himself.”
That Elder Bai Shan beamed and replied, ”That's not true. I've heard that Young Master Tingyue is the best out of everyone in the radius of three hundred miles. Just last year, Young Master Tingyue had fought three hundred and fifty-two battles and killed all three hundred and fifty-two practitioners that had came from all over. Not a single person was able to escape his grasp. For him to have such battle prowess at this young age, he's surely impressive.”
Qin Mu raised his eyebrows and continued to focus on eating.
Fu Yundi immediately smiled, ”My son had only killed the abandoned people of Great Ruins. If it was people from outside, my son would still show mercy.”
Elder Bai Shan smiled, ”The abandoned people do not lack strong practitioners. Young Master Tingyue's skills are indeed impressive.” He exclaimed in admiration after he finished speaking.
Fu Yundi chuckled, ”My son is an honest person and never forced others to compete with him. He only invited the abandoned people of Great Ruins to come forth and fight in the arena by promising them money. He can't help it that humans die for riches, just as birds die for food. The abandoned people came continuously to challenge my son only to all throw their lives away. These hundred dragon coins of my son have yet to be spent. Speaking about this, my son sure knows how to live his life.” When he was done, he laughed out loudly.
Everyone also started laughing along with him.
