"Of course I don't understand it!" The tone was so self-righteous that An Ge was speechless. "But that's an exchange between grandmasters! To witness such a battle in this lifetime is worth it!"
An Ge remained silent. Judging from their clothing, most of the onlookers were not from the martial arts world, yet they were all more excited than those who were.
Clutching the treasured sword he'd drawn from the arena, the Western Region Mad Saber stared intently at the figure in the air. Although he couldn't fully discern the moves, he was, after all, a first-rate martial artist with considerable internal strength, possessing a greater understanding than most.
Since receiving guidance from Jiang Fengyu, he has been consciously cultivating his mental state, and it's only a matter of time before he becomes a grandmaster.
The fight ended quickly. Jiang Fengyu was panting heavily, while Lu Yan looked refreshed and energetic, as if he hadn't exerted any effort. The outcome was obvious.
Everyone gasped in shock; Lu Yan was truly terrifying!
Judging from the expressions of the store manager and several key employees, it seemed like this was perfectly normal.
Sure enough, no matter how powerful mortals are, they can't compare to gods! Some people who had never seen the employees in action were startled. Although they respected the store manager, they were far less intimidated than those who had witnessed it firsthand.
Unaware of what others were thinking, An Ge was also stunned by the battle between the two. She hadn't expected a Grandmaster's power to be so great. His defeat at Lu Yan's hands wasn't due to his own lack of strength, but rather because his opponent was too strong.
Hu Jiu once said that Lu Yan's half-demon bloodline allowed him to fight beyond his level, which was somewhat unfair to Jiang Fengyu, who had just been promoted to Grandmaster.
Jiang Fengyu composed himself, his eyes shining. Although he had lost, he had benefited greatly from the battle, and his previously arrogant heart had calmed down. He bowed to Lu Yan in respect, appearing completely at ease.
Lu Yan's baby face beamed with a radiant smile. Although this battle hadn't been entirely satisfying, Jiang Fengyu was enough to make him take it seriously. It was a pity; if this were on the Tianxuan Continent, Jiang Fengyu would certainly be a worthy opponent.
An Ge didn't expect that after their match, their relationship would actually improve, and they would often meet up for a duel in the arena.
"Is this the first friend Lu Yan has made in this world?" Although Lu Yan wouldn't admit it, An Ge felt that the two were at least friends.
"This guy has always been respectful of his opponents, and the stronger the opponent, the more he likes them. Otherwise, why do you think he treats me as a friend? It's because he's afraid of me."
An Ge was speechless. Did Lu Yan have masochistic tendencies?
"By the way, Canwa told me that he made a good friend. School is on holiday these days, and he wants to visit his friend's house. I need to make some preparations for him."
At Ange's insistence, Shenwa, who used to run around the fields every day, finally put on his little schoolbag and became a "happy" primary school student. At first, he resisted, but unexpectedly, he made good friends in just a few days.
An Ge still remembered this friend; he was Song Ankang, the son of Song Dahe, the winner of the last ice sculpture competition.
Now that she has a playmate, Ginseng no longer clings to her every day, which made her quite jealous for a while. She's a little worried about visiting her friend's house this time.
Although Ginseng Child possesses spiritual power and is not someone an ordinary person can bully, his status is still what it is. If he encounters someone with malicious intent, his life safety would be difficult to guarantee.
Hu Jiu found it somewhat amusing, but then, thinking about how An Ge would worry about her son even when he was far away, he felt incredibly excited. "Don't worry, Lu Yan is practically treating Shenwa like a son now. He'll definitely prepare a lot of good things for him."
Thinking of how much Lu Yan valued Ginseng Baby, An Ge breathed a sigh of relief. "No, I still need to prepare some. What if Lu Yan's doesn't work?" Fortunately, she had a lot of life-saving items given to her by her master and Aunt Feng in her space. Even if she encountered a Grandmaster, Ginseng Baby could kill the opponent by smashing them with treasures.
Jiang Fengyu's advancement to Grandmaster not only had a huge impact in the martial arts world, but also caused a sensation among ordinary people and in the imperial court.
Emperor Fengzhao had just dealt with Prince Qi when Li De informed him of this matter. He was quite surprised. Others might not know, but he understood that grandmasters were not just legends. The royal family currently worshipped grandmaster-level figures, but they were all elderly people who were over a hundred years old.
At only twenty-five years old, he is undoubtedly a martial arts prodigy.
"Speed up the process and make sure to reach Huaixi City within three days."
The convoy continued on, but the atmosphere grew even heavier.
Feng Jingchi's face was filled with fear. He hadn't expected that his father would arrive at the Prince of Qi's fiefdom and, within a few days, uncover the Prince's crimes, swiftly stripping him of his title and even reclaiming his fiefdom.
Even if the Prince of Qi is out of favor, he is still his son. If his father knew what he had done, would he treat him the same way?
"No, I still have my mother, and she is my father's most beloved son. My father would never do this to me," Feng Jingchi murmured to himself, trying to comfort himself.
Thinking of the look in his father's eyes before he left, Feng Jingchi shuddered again.
Emperor Fengzhao closed his eyes to rest in the carriage, and Consort De served him with even greater care.
"My beloved concubine, do you think my punishment of the second prince was too harsh?"
Upon hearing the Emperor's words, Consort De's hand trembled slightly in fright, but she quickly regained her composure and said, "Your Majesty loves the people like your own children. It is Prince Qi who has gone too far, treating the lives of the people as a game."
Although Prince Qi was not favored, he was still his son. Emperor Fengzhao felt bad after dealing with Prince Qi and even had a desire to confide in someone.
"How could I not feel sorry for the second prince? But his fiefdom is right next to Huaixi City. Do you think the immortals don't know what he's done? Rather than let him be punished by the immortals, it's better for him to live a peaceful life as a leisurely prince."
Consort De silently handed over a cup of hot tea. She knew this was not the time to speak; His Majesty simply wanted to talk to someone.
The punishment of the Prince of Qi served as a wake-up call for almost everyone, but some people were in good spirits, including the carefree Bai Yurou and Feng Jinghan.
He had long known about the King of Qi's actions. Although he felt sorry for the people under his rule, he was barely able to protect himself, so how could he have any extra power to help them?
The Emperor's sudden arrival caught Prince Qi off guard, and with the evidence he presented, Prince Qi was finally brought down. Feng Jinghan also knew that the shopkeeper's influence must have played a part, since Prince Qi's fiefdom was right next to her own.
"I owe you another favor." Feng Jinghan smiled and shook his head; he couldn't wait to get to the inn.
The convoy quickened its pace and soon entered the territory of Huaixi City.
Upon entering the fiefdom of Prince Duan, the scene before them clearly changed.
It is spring planting season, and many farmers are working in the fields. From the smiles on their faces, you can tell that they are extremely satisfied with their lives.
Seeing this, Emperor Feng Zhao finally felt a little better.
