C13 (1/2)
The corpses of Yan Yun and Yan Fei had been ordered by Yan Lingyun to guard the site. The servants walked over and dragged them down for burial.
Yan Qiuyu thought back to the battle just now, and her heart felt heavy. Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and Ao Xue and Gu Mei's robes were slightly lifted by the wind. She looked just like an otherworldly expert.
Everyone looked at Yan Qiuyu who was now standing on the stage. She was tall and slender, her aura of being a good-for-nothing had already disappeared without a trace. Her slightly furrowed brows added a few traces of dignity to her.
His entire body shrank back on the stage, his eyes staring at the spot where there was no focus. As he looked at Yan Qiuyu, he suddenly felt a wave of fear enter his mind. He was so scared that he started trembling, and he even started to utter some fearful syllables.
With a ”plop,” Yan Peng actually kneeled down.
”I admit defeat, I admit defeat!”
After admitting defeat, the entire audience burst into an uproar:
”What?”
”Admit defeat? Yan Peng, who was always so arrogant, actually admitted defeat?”
”Hmph, I could already tell that this guy is weak on the outside but weak on the outside. He's bullying the weak and afraid of the strong!”
”But if it's someone like Yan Ling and Yan Lanyue, why don't you give up? It would be fine if you admit defeat, but how about facing Yan Qiuyu, who is just a piece of trash?”
”Haven't you heard? A few days ago, Yan Qiuyu suddenly showed off her might and taught a lesson to all the disciples in the clan. This Yan Peng is one of them!”
”But even so, that Yan Qiuyu shouldn't be that strong to the point that she's even scared Yan Peng into admitting defeat, right?”
”Anyway. ”What Yan Peng is doing is really stupid. The elders in the entire family will definitely give up without fighting, and most of them will be casting a vote for Yan Peng.”
”As an outsider, it's obviously very easy for you to say that!” ”Didn't you see how scared Yan Peng was in front of Yan Qiuyu? He was only thinking about avoiding physical pain, how could he be in the mood to think about such things?”
”Silence, silence!” Yan Lingyun, who was in the stands, spoke.
Yan Lingyun looked at Yan Peng and asked, ”Yan Peng, do you really want to admit defeat?”
Yan Peng nodded. ”Yes, yes. I admit defeat. I won't fight with him. Great sir, why don't you give me another one? Anyone else can do it …”
”Nonsense!” Yan Lingyun was fuming, ”In the Clan Martial Meet, you will decide your opponent by drawing lots, how can you just change your lot like that? If you admit defeat, then scram! ”
Yan Peng immediately jumped off the stage as if it was in amnesty!
There was another hiss from below the stage.
”All of you, quiet down!” Yan Lingyun was enraged. She turned around and said to Yan Yun, ”Announce the result!”
Yan Yun nodded her head, ”In this competition, Yan Qiuyu wins!”
Most people thought that Yan Peng would admit defeat in front of Yan Qiuyu. If he wasn't bewitched, he would be afraid of Yan Fengtian's identity as the clan leader, and would not dare to fight his son. Yan Qiuyu's victory was laughable. Those who had heard of Yan Qiuyu teaching Yan Peng a lesson that day all cast looks of anticipation towards Yan Qiuyu, hoping that he would bring a good show to them when he faced other opponents.
Yan Qiuyu bowed to each of the seniors in the audience and then slowly walked down from the arena.
As he looked at his son's back, Yan Fengtian's heart was filled with joy. He had also heard about how Yan Peng was defeated by the clan head, Yan Qiuyu. Back then, he didn't believe him, but now, he was starting to believe him. At this moment, he was very happy that his son had finally mastered it. He was worried that his son would have to face an even more powerful opponent if he didn't give in. He didn't know if he could survive this kind of test.
At this moment, Yan Lingyun also looked over. He seemed to understand his younger brother's intentions. He whispered into Yan Feng Tian's ear, ”Feng Tian, the next round of Qiu Yu will be tomorrow. Do you think that after today's match ends, you can try to persuade him in private and make him give up?”
Yan Feng Tian smiled and said in a low voice: ”This time, Yan Peng gave in without a fight. I don't know how many people below the stage are feeling that Qiu Yu's victory is strange. ”My son is completely speechless?”
Yan Lingyun sighed, ”But Yan Peng's strength is a divide among the younger generation. Yan Peng is the best amongst the second tier experts, and those who beat Yan Peng are the first tier experts amongst the younger generation. If Qiu Yu encounters someone like this, you can guarantee …”
The Misty Wind Palace's Dao: ”Things have already come to this point, let's just look at it from the sidelines!”
Yan Lingyun did not respond. She turned around and instructed Yan Yun, ”We can begin the next match!”
Yan Yun nodded her head, ”Next match, Yan Lanyue against Yan Fengwu!”
”Yan Fengwu?”
”He's the adopted son of uncle Yan Lingyun. I heard that his true strength is the strongest amongst the younger generation. It's because his identity is that of an adopted son that he has been hindered in entering the sect.”
”Of course I know him. I was just a bit surprised when I heard that he was an adopted son, that he had been developing our family's division and taking care of our family's business, and suddenly came back to join the Family Martial Meet!”
As he was speaking, a burst of metal wind suddenly rose up from the arena. Like a phoenix descending from heaven, a white-clothed youth slowly descended onto the arena.
At once, the audience burst into cheers, ”Aiya, being famous is better than seeing you! I have long heard that the Great Master's adopted son not only has great martial arts skills, but is also one of the most outstanding younger generation. Seeing you today is indeed extraordinary! ”
As they discussed, they saw a handful of sand slowly descend onto the arena, like a cage of cold water, the moonlight shining on the blue gauze. It was filled with a cold and seductive look, an absolutely beautiful appearance, yet it filled one's heart with love and adoration, a peerless beauty that reflected the brilliance of Yan Fengwu on the opposite side!
”Aiya, what a perfect pair!”
”Do you dare to face the two of them and shout together? Together!”
”You're courting death, that 'White Sword Technique' of Yan Lengyue is not something to be trifled with. If you were to shout that out, then a cold light would immediately flash. Your head wouldn't be able to hold on!”
The two people on the stage weren't moved in the slightest by the discussions below.
Yan Fengwu bowed towards Yan Lengyue, ”Greetings, sister Leng Yue!”
It was as if Yan Lengyue didn't hear him at all as she stared coldly at Yan Fengwu, as if the bright moon was shining coldly in her eyes.
The smile on her face was still as warm as the sun. She looked at Yan Lengyue and said, ”It doesn't matter if you ignore me, as I said before, even if your heart is cold, I will still warm you like a sun. Even if you are cold to death, I will still be willing!”
Ah!
Below the stage, there was a cry of surprise followed by laughter. Yan Qiuyu, who was sitting on the stage, couldn't help but smile.
”This Yan Fengwu is truly adept at handling his clan's affairs and business. However, he doesn't seem to know a single thing about love!”
”That's right. To say something like that to a girl like Yan Lanyue who's like a mortal in front of so many people would only make Yan Lanyue hate him even more!”
”That might not be the case. From what I see, this young master Yan Fengwu is handsome and magnificent. There isn't a single one of them that isn't worthy of young lady Yan Lengyue!”
”It is not a question of whether a lady like Yan Lengyue is compatible or not. Leng Yue, even her name is cold, and her temperament is as ice-cold as ice.” There was no room for ordinary people in their eyes. Did you hear? One year ago, when the Wang family had just risen to prominence, the eldest son of the Wang family, Wang Bufan, had intentionally provoked and sent a letter to Yan Lanyue's father. When Lady Leng Yue heard this, she immediately covered her face and took advantage of the night to sneak into the prince's mansion to castrate this young master Wang Bufan! ”
”I know about this. I heard that Wang Bufan's scream was like a pig being butchered and disturbed the entire Royal Mansion. That Wang Long sent his clan's experts to capture Lady Leng Yue. Lady Leng Yue actually acted like a human and retreated completely!”
”Aiya, but since Lady Leng Yue possesses that ability, why would she lose to that Wang Mu in the Wang family's battle two days ago?”
