"How many times have I told you? You need to change this habit of boasting!" Qin Wanru was already irritated by the uncertain future of the Chu family, and hearing Zu An's words only added fuel to the fire. If there weren't so many people around, she probably would have already completely exploded. "I don't have time to listen to your nonsense now. I'll settle the score with you slowly when we get back!"

Qin Wanru's anger level increased by 999!

After saying that, he pulled Chu Huanzhao away. Chu Zhongtian also looked displeased, but he didn't say anything. He followed her away and gave his daughter his final words of advice.

Zuan looked depressed, thinking to himself, "What's wrong with this world? When I lie, everyone believes me without question, but when I tell the truth, nobody believes me?"

Life is truly as lonely as snow!

And father-in-law, you're not doing a good job! Qin Wanru is always so irritable. You should work harder at night to help her cool down, otherwise I'm always the one who suffers.

At this moment, Chu Chuyan's cold voice rang in his ear: "I know you are not content with the current situation and want to do something to prove yourself and make your father and mother look at you differently, but you really don't have to do that. You have to do things within your capabilities. Doing things this way will only backfire."

Although she phrased it tactfully, her meaning was quite clear; she obviously also felt that he was exaggerating.

"Oh." Zuan was too lazy to explain, since no one would believe him anyway.

"How did you know that person's name was Wu Di?" Chu Chuyan couldn't help but ask.

“Just guessing.” Zuan shrugged.

"A guess?" Chu Chuyan frowned, clearly dissatisfied with the answer.

"Yeah, I thought the name Di Wu was a bit strange. Plus, considering that the Wu family was supporting the Yuan family behind the scenes, I wondered if that person's name was Wu Di. I tried calling him that out, and who knew I was right." Zu An couldn't possibly tell her about the keyboard rage points, so he could only make up an excuse.

To everyone's surprise, Chu Chuyan nodded and said, "I see. I didn't expect you to be such a big help by accident."

At this point, Zuan was speechless. Every time he told the truth, none of them believed him, but they easily believed any excuse he made up.

"Cough cough~" Suddenly Chu Chuyan coughed and took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth.

Zu An, with his sharp eyes, noticed the bright red stain on her handkerchief and was startled: "You're injured?"

Chu Chuyan raised her hand to stop him from continuing: "It's nothing, just a minor injury, don't make a fuss."

Seeing that her face was even paler than usual, Zu An knew that it was no small injury and couldn't help but say angrily, "How dare the Yuan and Wu families bully my wife! I'll make them pay later!"

Chu Chuyan: "..."

She didn't know what to say, so she simply focused her attention on the stage to see how her sister was doing in the competition.

Chu Huanzhao's opponent is Yuan Wenji, Yuan Wendong's cousin. Although his cultivation is not as good as his brother's, he still has the strength of the middle stage of the third rank. Theoretically speaking, Chu Huanzhao's chances of winning are not high. However, Chu Huanzhao has the Howling Whip, and with his father's personal guidance just now, he may not be without a chance.

Compared to the tension in the Chu family, Yuan Wendong on the other side looked relaxed. He originally thought that his side had the advantage in the first eight rounds, so he planned to lose this round. After all, in order to make the final round take place as scheduled, the outcome could not be decided in the early rounds.

Who knew that Wu Di would have an accident and actually lose to Chu Chuyan? Humph, a dignified sixth-rank official actually lost to a fifth-rank official, he's simply a piece of trash, and he still has the nerve to call himself Wu Di.

Now that Wu Di has lost, and the Yuan family is trailing 3-4, they must win this match to tie the game and advance to the final match.

He glanced at Zuan across from him and sneered inwardly. "You've been hiding your talents for so long, you must be thinking of making a name for yourself today. Too bad, you've run into me. In a moment, everyone will see that trash is trash. You'll regret provoking me again and again."

At this moment, the people in the training ground watched the two on the arena and couldn't help but start discussing among themselves:

"I didn't expect the second young lady of the Chu family to be so beautiful."

"Of course, if the older sister is so beautiful, how could the younger sister not be beautiful?"

"I heard that Miss Chu is ranked ninth among the top ten beauties in the academy!"

"In my opinion, she's just too young. She'll definitely be even prettier when she's grown up in a few years."

"I think this age is pretty good. It would be even better if I were younger."

"You perverted freak, stay away from us."

...

Hearing the faint whispers around him, Yuan Wenji on the stage sneered inwardly. Only he knew best what kind of demon was hidden beneath the girl's beautiful appearance.

Images of being bullied by her when he was a child involuntarily surfaced in his mind: her taking his pocket money, her beatings, and even once when she and a group of followers pulled down his pants, her hands on her hips, looking down at him with that devilish smile, which had given him nightmares countless times in the middle of the night...

He didn't dare to retaliate before because the other party was the daughter of a duke, but now that the Wu family is backing him up, he no longer has those concerns. Especially today on the stage, he can fight back openly and honestly.

"Miss Chu, we meet again." Yuan Wenji smiled smugly. Over the years, he had been deliberately avoiding the other party, harboring a belief in revenge, so he had been practicing diligently. Unfortunately, due to his limited talent, his achievements were destined to be modest, but it should be more than enough to deal with this guy.

"Who are you?" Chu Huanzhao was taken aback.

Yuan Wenji's breath hitched, and he was furious. This woman doesn't even remember me! She bullied me so badly when I was a child, and she doesn't even remember me!

He wanted to tell everything, but reason made him give up. After all, he was going to take the opportunity to retaliate later, and it wouldn't be good if he gave others a pretext to criticize him.
