Chapter 101 Fight Well - Xia Hu Fuqiu Ever since hearing about Zou, Luo...
Since hearing the news of Zou and Luo's deaths, Hu Fuqiu felt as if two mountains had been lifted from his head, and he was eager to make up for all the glory he had missed in the past.
Previously, with Zou, Wu, Luo, and Yu in front of him, they were like towering mountains blocking his way. He couldn't defeat Wu Chen, and there was really nothing he could do; as for the other three, he couldn't compete with their family background and connections, and even if he changed his father, it would be too late. Whenever he saw the four divine servants enjoying their boundless glory, he couldn't help but feel depressed.
But with two out of four gone, Hu Fuqiu genuinely felt that he was guaranteed to be promoted to Divine Servant this time. So even though nothing was certain, he started preparing early.
This is why he was so furious when he heard his sister return crying about being humiliated. To slap his sister in the face at this moment was tantamount to slapping his own face, an attempt to suppress his talent and prevent his promotion! Moreover, he could take advantage of the moment before Wu Chen returned to make an appearance on Nukun Peak, drawing the attention of those who hadn't noticed him before.
However, firstly, he hadn't expected this little girl to be so powerful; he was no match for her at all. Secondly, Wu Chen and Yu Jitang had returned so early. To make matters worse, the elders had also come and witnessed the whole scene.
Hu Fuqiu's mind was in turmoil. He had naturally heard Wu Chen's words, "Fight well," but he didn't understand them.
Actually, it wasn't just him; apart from Lu Qing, no one else understood.
After withdrawing his spiritual power, Lu Qing walked down the steps in front of the hall, stood in front of Hu Fuqiu, carefully examined him, and then clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying, "Please enlighten me."
Hu Fuqiu couldn't help but take a half step back, but before he could understand Lu Qing's meaning, Lu Qing had already made his move. He could only passively respond.
But how should we play now?
Hu Fuqiu initially tried to catch Lu Qing off guard, but failed. He then tried his exquisite techniques, but still to no avail. Finally, even in a contest of spiritual power, he was firmly at a disadvantage. Now, watching Lu Qing's seemingly simple moves, he was at a loss for where to begin, fighting hesitantly and passively. Adding to his unease was Wu Chen's words, "Fight well," which distracted him, making him wonder what Wu Chen meant. Was he not going to let him go?
Wu Chen stared intently at the two fighting for a while. Hu Fuqiu's current performance wasn't even good enough to be a qualified sparring partner. He couldn't help but shake his head, ignoring the two of them, and went to greet Elder Yu and the others.
Elder Yu and the others were watching Lu Qing and Hu Fuqiu's exchange of blows.
Just now, this young girl seemed ready to flatten Hu Fuqiu, but after Wu Chen said "Fight well," she held back ninety percent of her strength and politely sparred with Hu Fuqiu. This was truly...
Some elders exchanged glances, inwardly marveling at how much face Wu Chen had shown them. Many of them had high hopes for Hu Fuqiu. But they hadn't expected that he couldn't even defeat Wu Chen's "young" wife, and that Wu Chen had to subtly hint to her to show mercy and save face for the Divine Palace.
But actually, everyone had a slight misunderstanding. When Wu Chen said "fight hard," he definitely didn't mean for Lu Qing to go easy on him. In his view, Hu Fuqiu was actually a good sparring partner, and it would be a waste if Lu Qing used the power of the spiritual vein to crush him directly. Lu Qing understood immediately, so he stopped relying on the power of the spiritual vein and fought Hu Fuqiu with only his own strength.
But no one else understood. Watching Lu Qing's methodical and measured moves, showing "respect at every turn," while Hu Fuqiu appeared timid and hesitant, some elders who had initially favored Hu Fuqiu shook their heads and stopped paying attention to him.
"Witch God Attendant, Yu God Attendant." The elders now took the initiative to bow to the two of them. After all, regardless of age and seniority, Wu Chen and Yu Jitang were currently the highest-ranking members of the Divine Palace.
Wu Chen remained as approachable as ever, greeting each of the elders. Yu Jitang, on the other hand, was a stark contrast to his usual confrontational manner, greeting everyone calmly and politely. This attitude flattered the elders, who knew that even when Yu Jitang didn't verbally attack them, he always had an expression that said, "I'm giving you plenty of face; you'd better take that to heart."
Someone tentatively remarked, "The Divine Servant Yu seems somewhat different from usual."
Elder Yu quickly picked up the thread, "Having followed the Witch God's attendant for a while, I must have secretly learned something. It seems I've gained quite a bit; please forgive my poor performance."
Yu Jitang smiled and did not refute his father's words.
The elders chatted and laughed, apparently preparing to skip Hu Fuqiu and follow Wu Chen into the hall for a meeting.
Hu Fuqiu was extremely anxious and didn't know what to do for a moment. Just then, his sister, who had been standing by crying, suddenly had a flash of inspiration. She rushed to the elders and knelt down with a thud, saying, "Please, elders, uphold justice."
Elders: Um, young lady, you have to consider the occasion when you're looking for trouble. What kind of situation is this now? Stop playing those petty tricks.
Hu Fuqiu had a sudden inspiration and immediately stopped fighting Lu Qing. He glared at Lu Qing and ran over to help his sister up, saying, "Get up. With your brother here today, I will make sure you don't suffer any injustice."
Lu Qing rolled her eyes and returned to Wu Chen's side.
Wu Chen didn't immediately pay attention to the brother and sister. Instead, he looked down at Lu Qing and saw a little bit of sweat on her temples. He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and carefully wiped it off for her. "It's windy on the mountain. Be careful not to catch a cold. Why don't you go change your clothes before you come to see the guests?"
Lu Qing tilted her round face up and smiled, "No need, these few moves aren't even enough to loosen up my muscles, ah..." She seemed to realize her mistake and covered her mouth, "I...did I say something wrong?"
The elders couldn't help but laugh when they saw her mischievous appearance.
Wu Chen also laughed and introduced her to everyone, "This is my wife, her name is Lu Qing."
Lu Qing immediately bowed to everyone.
The elders politely returned the greeting.
Their harmonious scene deeply offended Hu Fuqiu. He had intended to find a way to back down gracefully, but the elders' indifference made him disregard his inner fears. "A Divine Servant's Wife? Does being a Divine Servant's Wife give you the right to bully others? Today, let alone if you are a Divine Servant's Wife, even if you were a High Priest's Wife, if you don't give my sister justice, I will absolutely not let this go!"
-----------------------
Author's note: It's already reached 100 chapters? I originally planned to finish writing around 80 chapters.
Um, let me explain to new readers, I have a full-time job, and I also accompany two young masters to study and a young lady to play house. Recently, my family has been preparing to build a house, so the time I can write is only the little bit of free time I squeeze out at night while burning the midnight oil. It can't compare to that of a full-time writer.
I now basically submit my work to the rankings every other week. When there are ranking tasks, I will do my best to meet the word count no matter what; on weeks when I don't submit my work to the rankings, I usually update once every two days, and if I manage to update daily, I'm really touched by it.
Haha, thank you all for sticking with this lazy author. On days when I don't update, you can check out my older works like "The Feng Shui Master's Unproductive Daily Life," "Wild Crabapple in Full Bloom," and "Dew Reflecting in the Spring Courtyard." I sometimes reread them myself and find them quite enjoyable. (City management, someone's selling melons without a license here...)
I will continue to try my best to make you smile and have a good laugh. I hope I enjoy writing and that you enjoy reading. No matter how much pressure you face in reality, I hope you can relax for a few minutes while reading this.
Thank you to all the little angels who voted for me or watered my plants with nutrient solution between 14:15:27 on September 15, 2020 and 12:06:35 on September 17, 2020!
Thank you to the little angel who watered the nutrient solution: Someone just passed by with 1 bottle;
Thank you so much for your support! I will continue to work hard!
