Chapter 345: Looks like I have to eliminate you twice (2)
Lü Er, upon hearing these provocative words, remained as indifferent as a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, continuing to scan Qi Huang up and down with greedy eyes.
“Not bad, you two have a match, whoever wins gets this sign.” Steward Cai had a sinister smile on his face. Although the outcome of this sign plate competition would not determine whether they stay or go, when both sides start fighting, swords and sabers have no eyes. Once this yellow-haired girl gets injured, it will affect the subsequent matches. Moreover, Lü Er never wished for Cheng Hong Ling to gain fame, so he would definitely not hold back.
“Young friend Lü, you must go all out! Cheng Hong Ling is the number one genius of our Xihui Dynasty, don’t disgrace the face of you cultivators from other regions.” Steward Cai turned and subtly signaled Lü Er with his eyes.
Qi Huang frowned secretly. Even though she was a man before, she found it difficult to tolerate those extremely aggressive gazes. If it were her main body, she would have drawn her sword long ago. ‘Still not enough to look at? I swear, after this match, you won’t dare to look at me again.’ Qi Huang secretly made a decision.
…
“Now we have a good show to watch, one is the number one genius of our Xihui Dynasty, and the other is the unfathomable cultivator Lü Er from other regions, and both are very arrogant. I want to see who can be arrogant until the end.”
“These two are so foolish, actually fighting over a sign.”
“Foolish? That’s double rewards!”
“Double rewards? You’re too stupid! If the strength difference between both sides is not large, then no matter the outcome, both will be injured. If this affects the subsequent matches, it’s not worth the gain. Otherwise, why do you think only they are competing?”
“It seems to be the case! But why do you care so much? We’re just watching the show. I hope Fairy Hong Ling can win, so she can vent the anger of all local cultivators!”
“Tsk, talking so nobly, I think you’re just a pure simp! I don’t know who has been buying her melon seed shells to make tea.”
“It’s like you’re not a simp. Don’t think I don’t know, after Fairy Hong Ling leaves every time, you’ll go to the place where she stayed and linger for half an hour to inhale the fragrant wind.”
…
The cultivators below started to get excited again.
“No need. Since she wants this sign, this Young Master will give it to her.” Lü Er was not as arrogant and warlike as usual, and directly withdrew in a “gentlemanly” manner.
“What?” Qin Quan asked in shock, then blinked his eyes desperately.
“Why?” Qi Huang was also a little taken aback. She felt like she had punched cotton, unable to exert any force.
“How can this Young Master fight with his future concubine for something? If you want it, I’ll give it to you. Consider it a meeting gift from this Young Master.” Lü Er explained as he turned and leaped elegantly off the arena.
Qi Huang held the sign plate, her heart filled with unwillingness. She had wanted to use this opportunity to teach this guy a good lesson, but unexpectedly, the other party directly acted like a cowardly lizard and retreated.
…
“As expected, the concubine he mentioned is Cheng Hong Ling!”
“Hmph! It’s simply a toad wanting to eat swan meat. A dignified ruler, and he can’t even get a mere clone of Cheng Hong Ling. Who does he think he is?”
“Isn’t this good? Once we know his background, we can widely publicize it later, saying that he is a simp for the female cultivators of our Xihui Dynasty! Let him have nowhere to hide!”
“Is this useful? Maybe he just likes being a simp?”
“I think you’re the one who likes being a simp!”
“You saw through this? Fairy Hong Ling, the number one beauty of the Xihui Dynasty, even the melon seed shells she eats can be sold for several taels of silver each. Who wouldn’t want to simp for her! Most importantly, if one could marry her, it would be equivalent to cuckolding the current emperor. This sense of accomplishment is probably beyond compare, even by becoming an immortal!”
…
The cultivators below started discussing again.
“Alas!” Steward Cai sighed helplessly, then announced, “Since that’s the case, then this sign belongs to…”
“Wait! Our Jinliu Sect is also interested in that sign!” At this moment, a young man’s voice sounded.
Qi Huang followed the sound and saw a strong young man walking out of the crowd. She could recognize that face even if it turned to ash! Indeed, the person who came was Jin Hu, the number one Immortal Seed of the Jinliu Sect. Six years ago, he personally eliminated Cheng Hong Ling.
…
“How… how could it be someone from Jinliu Sect? Don’t they know that the opponent for that sign is themselves?”
“So what? The Immortal Alliance does not stipulate that the opponent for a sign cannot participate in the competition!”
“But why would they do this?”
“Why are you so stupid? If they participate in the competition for this sign and win, they can eliminate an opponent in this round. If they lose, they can also explore the opponent’s background in advance. This is simply a sure win-win deal. Such things often happen.”
“I see, I’m really enlightened.”
…
The cultivators from various sects became clamorous again.
Jin Hu walked onto the arena with his hands behind his back. Each step of his strong legs produced a heavy sound, like muffled thunder from the ground. Coupled with his tall physique, he exuded a powerful aura.
“Qi Huang, right? If you want this sign, you probably still need to ask if I agree.” Jin Hu stepped forward and looked down at Qi Huang.
“I knew long ago that you would make a move to intercept.” Qi Huang, however, pursed her lips and smiled confidently.
“You knew we would make a move to intercept?” Jin Hu frowned slightly.
“Naturally. As the opponent for this sign, if you make a move to compete, and if you win, you can eliminate an opponent in this round. If you lose, you can also explore the opponent’s background in advance. Anyway, it’s not a formal match, and the outcome will not affect whether you stay or go. It’s simply a sure win-win deal.” Qi Huang analyzed very logically and then added, “Moreover, we have grudges between us, so you would definitely not allow the HongHua Sect to appear in a one-against-two situation in this round, because even if you win, you will bear the infamy of bullying the few with the many, and if you lose, it will be eternal damnation!”
Cheng Hong Ling below the stage showed a complex expression on her pretty face. She didn’t expect her clone to have thought of this.
“So what is your objective? To avenge your past humiliation?” Jin Hu put away his astonished expression and asked calmly.
“Avenge my past humiliation? No, no, no, I want to return it doubly! I want to eliminate you once in the sign plate competition, and then eliminate you once in the formal match!” Qi Huang waved her slender finger.
“Wow! She actually said she wants to eliminate someone from Jinliu Sect twice? This is too arrogant! That’s the third largest Immortal Sect in the Xihui Dynasty!” Some cultivators below marveled.
“She’s indeed arrogant! It’s a pity. If I could eliminate you six years ago, I can do the same six years later. I will let the world know that a mouse nest is a mouse nest, and no phoenix can fly out of it! I remember your name is Qi Huang, right? Change it soon, otherwise, you’ll be laughed at!” Jin Hu retorted.
“Alright, I’d like to see if you have the ability to make me change my name!” Qi Huang smiled even more, as it was more interesting to torment such opponents.
“Are there any other competitors? This is double reward. Once you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to encounter it again. Have you considered it clearly?” Steward Cai’s old face once again showed a schadenfreude smile, and he did not forget to continue to instigate the various sects below the stage.
“Steward Cai is right! This is double reward! Aren’t you tempted? Where are the Immortal Seeds of the Donglai Sect? Where are the Immortal Seeds of the HuXiao Sect? Aren’t you going to try?” Qi Huang, however, was not worried but happy, and actively helped Steward Cai to “hawk”.
Steward Cai was stunned. He didn’t know what this yellow-haired girl was doing, why she was actively increasing the difficulty for him.
“What? Isn’t the dignified Donglai Sect and HuXiao Sect afraid? Don’t worry! This is not a formal match, it’s just a sign plate competition. Even if you lose, it won’t affect whether you stay or go.” Qi Huang provocatively continued on her own. Her purpose was obvious: she wanted more revenge, and that would be more satisfying.
At this point, even the confident Jin Hu showed a look of panic. If the Immortal Seeds of the Donglai Sect and HuXiao Sect participated, it would be a disaster for him.
