If these words had not come from Gong Hongru's mouth, they would have thought that someone was drunk or sleepy and talking nonsense.
In fact, even though they saw and heard it clearly, and these words came from Gong Hongru's mouth, they still had such doubts.
Putting aside Yue Fanchen's strength, they had witnessed Longya's strength with their own eyes. Mu Chengxuan, who was regarded by everyone as the number one in this year's enrollment election, couldn't block his sword. Where did this Mu Hanyan get her confidence from? She was even afraid of hurting them and having to explain herself.
Well, Mu Dawanku's name is well-known, and it is possible that he is arrogant and self-righteous, but Gong Hongru can't be as arrogant as him.
Everyone stared at the two of them blankly, feeling a little bewildered.
However, this was not what surprised them the most. What surprised them the most was that after hearing the words of the master and disciple, Yue Fanchen did not get angry, but his face was solemn. Even Long Ya, who was so arrogant and did not take Anyun Elite seriously at all, fell silent, but there was clearly anger burning in his eyes.
What on earth is going on?
"I told you there would be a battle between us, but I didn't expect it to come so early." Yue Fanchen looked at Mu Hanyan without any surprise or disdain, and said calmly.
"Young Master, there's no need for you to do anything. I'll take care of him." Long Ya glanced at Mu Hanyan and said with hatred.
"You are no match for him." Yue Fanchen's voice was still so calm, but with an irrefutable majesty.
There was an uproar all around again. What did he say? He actually said that Long Ya was no match for Mu Hanyan. This... how is this possible?
"Young Master, last time I just..." Longya said somewhat unconvinced.
"You are no match for him. I know what you want to say, but you are no match for him." Yue Fanchen interrupted Long Ya directly, with a hint of displeasure in his tone.
"Yes, sir." A look of panic appeared on Longya's face. Although he was a little unwilling, he didn't dare to say another word.
"Your master is right. You are indeed no match for me. If you try to challenge me, I guarantee that your end will be even worse than last time." Mu Hanyan said lightly.
Remembering the last time they fought, Longya was filled with shame and anger after suffering repeated setbacks. He formed a series of hand seals, his mind went into a frenzy, and an extremely strange power surged from his body. Although no one knew what that power was, even Mu Hanyan did not dare to underestimate it.
At that time, Mu Hanyan was not sure that she could easily defeat the furious Long Ya, but now, she has absolute confidence.
Upon hearing this, the crowd around them finally realized that Mu Hanyan had already dealt with Yue Fanchen and the others, and that Longya had suffered a great loss at Mu Hanyan's hands. Looking at Mu Hanyan's beautiful face, everyone's gaze shifted slightly, with a touch of surprise and even more awe.
Dragon Fang, who could defeat Mu Chengxuan with a single sword strike, had actually suffered a severe loss at the hands of Mu Hanyan. So, just how strong was this Mu Hanyan? Was this really the legendary, uneducated, unskillful, and outcast playboy of the capital, who relied on his family background to commit crimes and bully men and women?
What a joke, what a joke! What a joke!
"What did you say!" Longya was already a little unconvinced, and was further provoked by Mu Hanyan's words. He stared at her with his eyes as big as copper bells.
"Back off!" Yue Fanchen shouted.
Longya quickly shut up and stepped aside obediently.
"Long Xin, Long Dan, you also step back." Yue Fanchen said to the other two guards.
"Yes, sir." The two men also stepped aside. They glanced at Mu Hanyan, seeming a little dissatisfied.
They knew Longya's strength. If he said that his real strength was not as good as Mu Hanyan's, they would accept it. But if he added that set of hand seals, he was still no match for Mu Hanyan. Not to mention Longya, even the two of them didn't quite believe it.
However, since Yue Fanchen said so, they certainly did not dare to question it, let alone disobey his orders.
Yue Fanchen saw that several guards were dissatisfied, but he was too lazy to explain to them. He jumped lightly and came to the competition platform in the middle of the square.
It was a competition arena specially prepared for swordsmen to compete and duel, and it was also the martial arts arena for Anyun Kingdom to hold grand ceremonies.
"I am Yue Fanchen, representing the Shangyue Kingdom, to challenge Mu Hanyan of Anyun Kingdom!" Yue Fanchen placed one hand on his chest, performed a standard swordsman salute, and shouted loudly.
The huge square suddenly became solemn and dignified.
If the previous minor fights between Longya, Zheng Zhi and others could only be regarded as representing the dignity of Shangyue and Anyun in a certain sense, then from now on, the battle between Yue Fanchen and Mu Hanyan would undoubtedly symbolize the competition between the two countries.
"I, Mu Hanyan, accept your challenge." Mu Hanyan also performed a swordsman's salute and said with a serious expression, then jumped lightly and landed on the competition stage.
The horn sounded again, and everyone's blood began to boil involuntarily.
"Mu Hanyan, Mu Hanyan..." A shout rang out from the audience.
At this moment, no one would remember her reputation as a playboy. They only knew that Mu Hanyan was fighting for Anyun's honor.
Of course, there are exceptions.
The Qiu family's viewing area was filled with a gloomy atmosphere, and the head of the Qiu family had a gloomy face, as if he had aged ten years.
Looking at Mu Hanyan's slightly frail yet heroic figure on the competition stage, Patriarch Qiu clenched his fists. Mu Hanyan, that very Mu Hanyan, had pushed the Qiu family into dire straits with just one sentence.
If she had not exposed Qiu Ping'an in public in the hall, even if Gong Hongru had noticed it, he would have at least considered the face of the Qiu family. After all, in the past two hundred years, hundreds of disciples of Longyan Academy came from the Qiu family. Even now, there are still dozens of descendants of the Qiu family staying in Longyan Academy to practice. Even the head of the Qiu family himself came from Longyan Academy and had met Gong Hongru several times.
However, because of what Mu Hanyan said in public in the hall, coupled with his own impulsiveness, he angered Gong Hongru and forced the Qiu family into a desperate situation.
At this time, the head of the Qiu family wanted to kill someone, but how could he dare to do it in such a situation?
The head of the Qiu family's gaze fell on Yue Fanchen. Since he dared to challenge Mu Hanyan on behalf of Shangyue Kingdom, he must be absolutely confident. He hoped that he could teach Mu Hanyan a severe lesson. If he could kill Mu Hanyan, it would be even better.
At this time, the head of the Qiu family no longer cared about the honor and dignity of Anyun Kingdom. He was full of hatred, and there was a vicious light flashing in his eyes.
On the competition stage, Yue Fanchen slowly drew out his sword.
