"Why did she participate in the competition? And it was an eighth-rank martial artist competition. Isn't she afraid of being crippled? If she were crippled, it would be even harder for her to get married."

Tang Zhiyue didn't care about this: "Mu Nanjin is already a sixth-rank official. If she is promoted one rank higher, she will be a fifth-rank official, and she will be a thousand households like my brother. I used to think that she was not worthy of my brother, but if she is promoted one rank higher, it means that my brother is not worthy of her."

When she was a child, she and Mu Nanjin often played together. Although they did not have a sisterly relationship, they got along well. But later she found out that Mu Nanjin liked her second brother, and her family did not allow her to play with Mu Nanjin, so she grew further and further away from them.

Although the Tang family’s actions were inappropriate, it cannot be entirely said that it was the Tang family’s fault.

As an elder, who doesn't want their child to live a good life? Who wants his career to go smoothly? The Tang family is just a small family in the capital. In addition, her parents know that it is not easy to get promoted, so they want to find someone who can help the second brother, so that the second brother will not be like their father in the future, staying in the fifth-rank official position for ten years without being promoted.

Jiang Zhenru said unhappily, "Do you think it's so easy to get promoted? Can you get promoted just like that?"

Tang Zhiyue refuted her: "Mu Nanjin's official position was particularly easy to be promoted. In less than a year, she was promoted to the sixth rank. If she can win the competition today, she can either be promoted to the sixth rank or the fifth rank."

"She, she's just a special case."

Tang Zhiyue whispered in her ear: "Mom, do you regret not choosing Mu Nanjin as your daughter-in-law?"

Jiang Zhenru poked her head lightly: "Don't ask too much about adults' affairs, just watch your game carefully."

It was impossible to say that she had no regrets, but she also knew that since things had gotten so bad between them and Mu Nanjin, Mu Nanjin would no longer be their daughter-in-law, otherwise she would not have moved out.

Even if Mu Nanjin still liked her son, Mu Qinyi couldn't get past that hurdle. He would definitely not let someone who had disliked his niece marry her.

What’s more…

Jiang Zhenru suddenly thought of what Tang Liuzhao said and couldn't help but shake her head.

The competitions among the seventh, eighth and ninth rank warriors were more intense, so the viewing platform for the emperor and officials was built in front of the seventh, eighth and ninth rank competition arenas, so many officials and their families saw Mu Nanjin at a glance.

"A girl has entered the eighth-rank warrior competition arena."

A family member recognized Mu Nanjin and said, "She is Mu Nanjin. I didn't expect her to play in the game. It would be best if she was beaten to death on the field."

The officials and their families who had been captured by Mu Nanjin hated her to the core, but the emperor stood on her side and no one could do anything about her.

"She is Mu Nanjin? Is her martial arts so high? She actually competed in an eighth-grade fighting arena."

"Beat her to death, beat her to death, it's better to beat her to death." Many family members saw Mu Nanjin gritting his teeth. As long as they thought of the days he was locked up in prison, they wished that Mu Nanjin would die on the spot.

Mu Nanjin's opponent was a deputy general, who looked rough but was very polite. He said as soon as he entered the arena: "Miss, if I accidentally hit you too hard later, please forgive me."

Mu Nanjin nodded: "Please forgive me if I hurt you later."

The deputy general laughed loudly: "Okay."

The judge of the eighth-grade competition arena asked, "Are you ready? If you are, let's start."

Mu Nanjin quickly drew her knife, but before the knife was completely out of the sheath, she put it back.

Before the civil servants and their families in the viewing stand could figure out what was going on, they saw the deputy general hurriedly using his spear to block. It seemed like something was pushing him and his body kept moving backwards.

"Ah——" The deputy general gritted his teeth and used all his internal strength, but he still couldn't withstand the opponent's sword.

The judge standing nearby was also forced to take several steps back and felt the pain on his face from being scratched.

“I…”

Before the deputy general could finish his words, he heard the judge announce, "Mu Baihu wins."

As the judge finished speaking, the power disappeared.

The deputy general was slightly stunned. When he looked again, he saw that the other person had been kicked out of the field.

He couldn't even block other people's sword energy, let alone fight with them.

The deputy general exhaled, clasped his fists towards Mu Nanjin and said, "I am willing to lose."

Mu Nanjin turned and walked out of the venue.

The guards beside them explained to them: "It was the sword energy. She just released the sword energy. The deputy general couldn't block it and had to admit defeat."

The civil officials were very surprised: "Mu Nan Jin Mu Bai Hu is so powerful?"

The guard hummed.

Tang Zhiyue looked incredulous: "Mom, why didn't I know before that Mu Nanjin not only knows martial arts, but is also a master?"

Jiang Zhenru was also very surprised: "Maybe there are many things we don't know."

"Mom, my second brother is also in the eighth-grade fighting arena. If he and Mu Nanjin meet, who do you think will win?"

Although Jiang Zhenru did not know martial arts, she could tell that her son was not as good as Mu Nanjin because she won the match before she even drew her sword.

Now she could only pray that her son would meet Mu Nanjin again after entering the top ten. Then, no matter he won or lost, her son would be promoted to the fourth rank, and the chance of taking over as the governor of Licheng Town would be much greater.

The military officers at the seventh-grade and ninth-grade martial arts arena next door could clearly feel that Mu Nanjin's strength was more than level eight, and someone immediately questioned the judge.

"Mu Baihu doesn't look like an eighth-rank warrior."

"She is most likely a Grandmaster Warrior."

"I suspect her rank is fake, I request to test Mu Baihu's rank in public."

"That's right. Retest Mu Baihu's warrior level."

"This..." The judge couldn't help but look at the emperor's viewing platform, and then at his superiors. For a moment, he didn't know what to do. The judge's superiors also encountered such a thing for the first time, and they couldn't think of a good solution for the time being.

At this moment, Mu Nanjin's inner voice came out again.

【Come on, come on, hurry up and retest. 】

[You would never have thought that I can change my warrior level freely. Even if you retest me, you can't do anything to me. Humph.]

All the officials in the audience: "..."

So arrogant.

But he has the capital to be arrogant.

The emperor smiled heartily, turned to Tian Yuan and asked, "Master Tian Yuan, can you accurately measure her martial arts skills?"

Tian Yuan shook his head slightly: "As she said, she can freely control the level of warriors. Even I don't know her true level of cultivation."

Although she ended up in a draw in the last fight, I could feel that was not her true strength. Perhaps she was suppressed and could not give full play to her strength.

emperor:"……"

Mu Nanjin is more powerful than he thought.

And after this competition, everyone knew that Mu Nanjin was a warrior.

The judge coughed lightly and said, "I think there is no need for Baihu Mu to falsely report the rank of a warrior. What do you think?"

Military officers: “…”

It has come to this point, do they think it is still important? The family members saw that the officials who were originally very dissatisfied suddenly kept silent, and they couldn't help but feel puzzled: "Didn't the officials just ask for a re-test of the grade? Why are they silent now?"

Those who couldn't hear Mu Nanjin's inner voice were all confused and sweating.

Thank you for the reward, muah.
