Chapter 131: Qi Tianlei Wins

Ruan Mianmian taunted Qi Tianlei, “Second Uncle, there seem to be quite a lot of things you failed to consider. In just this short while, I’ve already heard you mention two such oversights. You really ought to think more. Anything left unused for too long will rust.”

[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained 2,000 points.]

The smile on Qi Tianlei’s face became strained. Ruan Mianmian had practically pointed at his forehead and called him brainless.

But it was not yet time to fall out with the two of them, so he forced himself to keep smiling and said:

When he identified the three bottles of genuine liquor without a single mistake, Niu Xianhua was instantly dumbfounded. As the guardian of this stage, she naturally knew which three bottles were real, and she also knew that the deliberate flaw had been left there.

“Because I think you must have some connection with Mu Yue, I thought that perhaps you might learn something after looking through these,” Gao Zhizhi said.

Old Xu looked rather shabby on the outside, but he was definitely a wealthy man; otherwise, he could never have owned a cargo ship of his own. The only reason he wore a tattered cotton-padded jacket was that the working environment aboard the ship was dirty and disorderly, making fine clothes unsuitable.

“Because of this debt of gratitude, I have to save him. As for finding the true culprit behind everything, I will do so. But if it really has something to do with you, Father, rest assured—I will know how to deal with it,” Qiao Minghe said.

Qiao Sicheng had established Apple Tree Company less than a year ago, yet he had already spent seven hundred million dollars. That rate of spending was truly astonishing.

Ziyu looked down from above at the ruins below. His eyelids twitched, and his expression was hideous to the extreme.

“You can’t put it that way. You know perfectly well how important this match is. No matter how closely I watch it, I’m not going too far,” Old Daoist Qingfeng said with a chuckle.

It was not as if Lu Yao had chosen the place herself. Blaming her for this would have been rather unfair.

“Left foot... movement speed reduced...” Tian Ye racked his brains. Then inspiration suddenly struck him. “The poison from those weeds earlier—the Hegemon Chu never detoxified it!”

At once, Tian Ye burst out laughing.

The powerful shock waves produced when the two forces collided were especially terrifying. Sharp streams of sword energy erupted in every direction, and some of the nearby disciples, whose cultivation was too weak, simply could not withstand them. Fortunately, at that critical moment, the outer-sect elder, Old Gui Sen, intervened and raised a protective barrier, saving them.

Almost no one understood how that white curtain of light had formed in midair. They had not even noticed when Ye Lin made his move.

I nodded and said, “That’s exactly how it is. You’ve seen Su Qingqing now, so you should be able to tell that she isn’t a bad person. And the things I told you before about her harming people weren’t done by her either. You can rest assured. She has stayed by my side for more than twenty years. If she had wanted to harm me, she would have done it long ago.”

It was only because of a high-ranking angel named Lucifer that Heaven’s Judgment was betrayed, after which he founded the Nether River, a force opposed to Heaven’s Judgment.

I asked Han Yu what had happened. He told me that on the day Panzi went to smash up his establishment, he had called Lu Feng in advance to warn him. That very night, Lu Feng brought several dozen men over. Panzi was wary of Lu Feng, so he withdrew with his people.

I gazed at Wang Han’s faintly flushed cheeks and said with deep feeling, “Wife, I miss you. I truly miss you so much.”

Zhao Zhijing anxiously examined the condition of the others and said, “Ye, go check whether the assassin left any clues behind.” At present, the assassin’s corpse seemed to be their only lead.

His voice carried a teasing note, but aside from the young attendant who had spoken at the beginning, who else could possess such a voice? Seeing the wary and reverent looks the other powerful figures directed at him, it seemed that he was probably the leader of this group.

Lin Kun immediately carried the unconscious Su Lin back with Zhao Liu and Yang Liu. The next match began, while Su Lin lay inside a tent. Su Yan applied wound medicine to his injuries. Lin Kun had already stripped away the animal hide covering his upper body, revealing a set of bronze-colored muscles crisscrossed with bruises and bloodstains.
