Chapter 37: Battle! Three Powers
"A-Li, why are your questions so strange? Why are you asking about someone's lifespan for no reason? If Shuangyan has a bad temper, you'll get beaten!"
Xu Ren'er was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and complained.
"The atmosphere was just too dull, so I just picked a random topic to talk about."
The matter of perception ability cannot be exposed. Mo Youli thought about it and simply found an excuse to get away with it.
Mu Shuangyan stopped and stared at Mo Youli seriously.
She was such a smart person. She carefully discerned Mo Youli's expression and then thought about the glance Mo Youli had given her all the way.
She couldn't help but curl her lips and smile. It was obvious that Mo Youli's question was not a casual one.
I'm afraid Mo Youli already knows that she will not live long.
"Life is impermanent, and who can accurately predict lifespan? I don't care how long my life is. As long as I can live my remaining time to the fullest, without any regrets, I will be very satisfied."
Most of her enemies have been killed, and the people she cares about will have a bright future. She has no regrets anymore.
Looking back on her life, she may not be a bad person, but she is definitely not a good person either.
To achieve her goal, she killed many people, both good and bad.
She was not afraid of death. On the contrary, she was happy to face it, as if it was an atonement for the kind person she had accidentally killed in the past. Why not?
Mo Youli understood the implication of Mu Shuangyan's words: she knew clearly that her life was in danger and hanging by a thread, but she willingly accepted this fact and did not intend to make any struggle.
Mo Youli bowed and apologized, "I'm sorry for being rude. Since Miss Mu already has a rivalry in her mind, I won't continue to extend this topic."
Mu Shuangyan waved her hand: "It's okay."
The two men and the dog continued to move forward, and in a few moments, they reached their destination.
Xu Ren'er looked around curiously: "Is this your home?"
Mu Shuangyan nodded.
Mo Youli frowned repeatedly. His perception told him that this was definitely not where Mu Shuangyan lived. Mu Shuangyan was lying.
"You guys go ahead. I'm already home, I'm perfectly safe."
Mo Youli swept his sharp eyes over Mu Shuangyan, but Mu Shuangyan always maintained a perfect smile, without any guilt at all.
Mo Youli withdrew his gaze, exchanged a few polite words with her, and forcefully took Xu Ren'er away and left the Mu Mansion.
Everyone has secrets, and he himself has secrets that he cannot tell. In this case, as long as it does not endanger himself, why should he deliberately expose other people's secrets and cause their disgust?
Mu Shuangyan watched the two people walking away, and sighed in her heart: Qiuyue’s partner is not easy to deal with!
Without Xu Ren'er and the others, Mu Shuangyan looked up at the plaque, then turned and left without any reluctance.
Unexpectedly, after she had taken two steps, a group of masked men in black suddenly blocked her way.
"Miss Mu, my master has an important matter and would like to invite you to a gathering tonight. Please do me a favor."
——
Five days later, the sky was clear.
Xu Ren'er woke up from her sleep, opened the window of the inn, and enjoyed the first ray of sunshine in the morning. Her nose twitched slightly, and she couldn't help stretching, fully feeling the fresh air.
"Why are those two people so sneaky?"
She looked down at the building. Although it was morning, it was probably not yet opening time. Many shops were still closed and there were not many people around.
At this moment, two people with strange movements suddenly appeared, with hunched backs and looking around. No matter how you looked at them, you felt that there must be something wrong with them.
Xu Ren'er turned around and ran towards Mo Youli's bed, jumped onto the bed, put away his dog paws, and used his fluffy cushion to shake the bedding of Mo Youli, who was sleeping very steadily at this time.
"Ali, Ali, wake up!"
At this moment, Mo Youli was playing the role of a high priest who was loved by thousands of people in his dream. The dream was extremely real, and the novel experience made him intoxicated.
Just as he was about to talk to the other people in his dream, he was shaken awake.
He was a little annoyed and opened his eyes, ready to teach the person who woke him a lesson. But when he looked up, he saw Xu Ren'er's huge dog head.
The fire stopped instantly.
He stood up helplessly and asked, "What's the matter?"
Xu Ren'er said solemnly, "There are two suspicious people outside the window. I suspect they are targeting us, but I'm not sure."
In fact, before the first two rounds of competition, some contestants had already found people in advance to try to create accidents for them. Unfortunately, every time before they could make a move, Tang Beiju had already solved them all.
Those who seek trouble often choose to act at night, and rarely in the early morning.
For a moment, Xu Ren'er really found it difficult to make a decision, so he simply called Mo Youli to discuss it together.
When Mo Youli heard this, he quickly slipped out the window, and Xu Ren'er didn't even react.
"It's indeed suspicious."
Mo Youli looked downstairs and easily found the two conspicuous bags.
Xu Ren'er raised an eyebrow, her tone full of anticipation impossible to ignore. She asked, "Do you want to try it?"
Mo Youli narrowed his eyes and gestured to show his agreement.
They smiled at each other, both understanding each other's thoughts, and their smiles were mixed with a hint of evil.
Tang Beiju always solves problems by himself, so they want to do it themselves too! ! !
Mo Youli gave Xu Ren'er a determined look, then jumped out of the window.
Seeing this, Xu Ren'er was so scared that she jumped out quickly and followed closely behind, fearing that Mo Youli would not leave her even a trace.
I shouldn't have told him if I had known! How much would she have taken for herself? Xu Ren'er regretted it inwardly.
Although she thought so, Xu Ren'er also knew that if this happened again next time, she would tell Mo Youli.
After all, competition makes things more exciting.
They quickly fell to the ground, and the three guys looked fierce and stood in front of the two people with strange movements.
Wait! Three?!
Xu Ren'er turned his head and looked to the side, and sure enough, the other person was Tang Beiju.
"Tang Beiju, you took action several times before, so this time, shouldn't you let us take the lead?"
Xu Ren'er tried to persuade Tang Beiju to leave and even started calling him by his full name.
Tang Beiju didn't say anything, but drew his sword from the scabbard, showing his attitude with his actions.
“Clang——”
It was the sound of weapons clashing.
While Xu Ren'er was communicating with Tang Beiju, Mo Youli picked up his white jade flute and attacked the opponent directly. Unexpectedly, Tang Beiju was faster and blocked the white jade flute with his sword.
When Xu Ren'er saw that they were busy confronting each other, he quickly took advantage of the opportunity.
The dog raised its claws and was about to attack, but just as she rushed over, Mo Youli and Tang Beiju's other unarmed hands each grabbed the back of her neck and pulled her back.
She did three consecutive backflips and landed steadily, looking at them fiercely. The other two raised their chins and glared back at them provocatively.
Three-legged tripod!
The wind blew gently, and Mo Youli and Tang Beiju's hair moved with the wind, while Xu Ren'er's dog hair was smoothed by the breeze.
"P- ...
They were extremely fast, and dozens of moves had already taken place in the blink of an eye.
Sometimes Xu Ren'er rushed forward and was kicked in the waist by Mo Youli. Tang Beiju tried to take advantage of the chaos to kill the two outsiders. Xu Ren'er and Mo Youli would instantly cooperate, one waving his dog claws to block Tang Beiju's sword against the outsiders, and the other directly attacked Tang Beiju to force him to retreat.
Sometimes Tang Beiju rushed forward and was kicked in the face by Xu Ren'er. Mo Youli tried to kill the two outsiders in the chaos. Tang Beiju and Xu Ren'er would instantly cooperate. Tang Beiju waved his sword to force Mo Youli to retreat, while Xu Ren'er would sneak attack in the middle.
The two outsiders who were targeted were at the center of the battle. They stared blankly at the three guys busy with their own things, not understanding what they were trying to do.
After the operation, the two outsiders were unharmed, but the three of them were covered with bruises and scars on their faces.
"Um... could you please stop for a moment? I have something to tell you..."
One of the outsiders had been watching, but suddenly he remembered his mission and broke out in a cold sweat.
But he couldn't leave. He had no choice but to stay where he was and watch quietly. Then, after a closer look, he found that two of the three people fighting were actually their targets.
The three guys said at the same time with ferocious expressions: "Hurry up and tell me!"
Outsider: "...We are the secret agents responsible for bringing the third round contestants to the competition venue."
——
The Imperial Palace of Jiucai Kingdom.
Led by two contacts, Xu Ren'er and Tang Beiju made many twists and turns and finally entered a hall in the imperial palace.
The palace was magnificent and golden. The two of them were the first to arrive. The two escorts left after sending them there. The palace was empty. It was early now and the others had not arrived yet.
After a while, two beautiful palace maids came into the hall carrying tea. Xu Ren'er and Tang Beiju took the teacups, drank it in one gulp, and then waited quietly.
"Why is this third round so secretive? I almost hit the wrong person!"
Tang Qiuyue entered the hall while cursing and complaining.
"Um... you seem to have dialed the wrong number..."
Liu Roulei whispered the truth.
"You can't blame her too much. When a stranger suddenly appears, you'll subconsciously become defensive."
Nie Erfeng tried to smooth things over for Tang Qiuyue.
"Are you trying to defend yourself, Nie Erfeng? Is the person next to you the one responsible for meeting you? He looks seriously injured."
Xiao Aodang spoke in a calm tone and bluntly exposed Nie Erfeng's thoughts.
"Why are you all so confrontational? It's come to this. Why don't we all be more considerate of each other? A peaceful and harmonious scene would be much better."
Hao Yunqi carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead and tried to persuade in a gentle tone, hoping to ease the awkward situation.
When Xu Ren'er and Tang Beiju heard the sound, they turned around and looked towards the entrance of the hall. They saw six strange men in front of them, leading six other contestants towards them.
Among them were two strange men with bruised faces and noses, as if they had been beaten up.
Xu Ren'er took a closer look at the one who was beaten the worst. Based on her years of experience, she guessed that it was Tang Qiuyue's doing.
After all the people were gathered together, these poor receptionists immediately left in a hurry.
As soon as Tang Qiuyue entered the room, she saw Xu Ren'er and Tang Beiju. At first glance, she thought she had recognized the wrong people, but that familiar feeling...
"Haha ...
Xu Ren'er fought with Tang Beiju and Mo Youli, and his body was covered with wounds. He looked like a clown, so it was no wonder that Tang Qiuyue made fun of him.
only……
"Your injury hasn't healed yet, so it's better not to laugh so hard. Look, you've laughed so hard that the wound is about to tear open. Does it hurt?"
Xu Ren'er persuaded with a "smile".
Tang Beiju had a cold expression on his face throughout the whole process, and said to Tang Qiuyue in a cold voice: "You shouldn't have come."
With injuries on his body, the third round of competition will only be more intense, and Tang Qiuyue will definitely suffer a great loss.
Tang Qiuyue covered her ears and looked away, pretending not to hear or see anything.
Seeing this, Tang Beiju became angry and was about to say a few more words when a loud voice suddenly came from the hall.
"Everyone, congratulations on successfully passing the second round."
