"Hey Wu, looks like I'm really going to have to fight you today!" Chu Zhongtian took a deep breath, his fists clenched so tightly they were cracking.
"Why are you two doing this?" Sang Hong reappeared between the two, also feeling a headache. "Today is, after all, a family competition. You two shouldn't steal the spotlight. Lord Mingyue, to be fair, Yuan Wenji already showed mercy. Otherwise, your daughter might have been in grave danger."
"His life is in danger?" Chu Zhongtian sneered. "Does he dare?"
Sang Hong smiled awkwardly, pretending not to hear, and then said to the other side, "Lord Yangquan, Patriarch Yuan, what Yuan Wenji said this time was unintentional, but he did indeed go too far. How about we have the Yuan family prepare medicine to treat Miss Chu's injuries as an apology?"
Yuan Zhengchu naturally went along with it: "Of course, it's only right. In addition, I'll offer another ten thousand taels of silver for the Second Miss to use for recuperation."
"No need, our Chu family can afford this little bit of medicine." Chu Zhongtian snorted heavily, then turned around and led his daughter back to the Chu family camp.
Now that Sang Hong is clearly protecting that side, coupled with Principal Jiang's neutrality and City Lord Xie's ambiguous attitude, if a conflict really breaks out, the Chu family will be the one to suffer. We can only wait and deal with it slowly later.
Seeing him back down, Ji Dengtu in the crowd couldn't help but shake his head: "Lin Danda, Lin Danda, you're just too tolerant. To outsiders, you seem a bit spineless. Qin Wanru, why did you have to choose this guy? You're doing just fine with me. You're living a carefree life now."
Wu Wei exchanged glances with the heads of the Yuan and Zheng families, all of whom could see the smugness in each other's eyes. The era of the Chu family was finally over.
Shi Kun also smiled. The loss of the weapons market was the first step in dismantling the Chu family. Chu Chuyan would eventually fall into my arms.
Xie Xiu couldn't help but whisper, "Father, are we really not going to help the Chu family?"
"We will definitely help," Xie Yi said, changing the subject, "but when to help is a very important question."
Jiang Luofu wasn't interested in these family feuds. What she was most curious about was what Zu An planned to do next. Although he had extraordinary talent, that was just potential. He had wasted too much time in the past few years and was only a third-rank official now. He would definitely lose to Yuan Wendong, who was a fifth-rank official.
Although I had told him before that he should show his abilities appropriately, today's situation was obviously not suitable, since his opponent was a fifth-rank official.
Just then, Chu Zhongtian, his face grim, was about to leave with his family when Yuan Zhengchu's voice rang out: "Lord Mingyue, the competition isn't over yet, why are you leaving?"
In the past, he certainly wouldn't have dared to speak to the other party like that, but now, with the Duke of Yangquan and Prefect Sang backing him up, and with victory imminent, he felt much more confident.
"Is there even a need to compete?" Chu Zhongtian's face was ashen. The Chu family only had one well-known cultivation failure left. The other party's insistence on competing was clearly aimed at him.
Have I been too tolerant all these years, causing even the most insignificant people to take advantage of me?
Wu Wei laughed and said, "Of course we have to compete. Right now, both of you have 4 wins and 1 draw. We're just waiting for the final round to decide who will ultimately win the weapons market."
Sang Hong on the stage also said, "That's right. The two sides are tied now and there is no winner yet. Since we are here as referees, we must handle this fairly. If the Chu family leaves early, the distribution of market share in the future will be a bit unclear."
Firstly, he was cautious by nature and worried that if he didn't finish the final match, the Chu family would turn their backs on him. Secondly, he was also curious about the Chu family's legendary useless son-in-law, because according to the information he had recently received, although he acted strangely, he didn't seem as useless as the legends suggested.
At this moment, Jiang Luofu, who was standing to the side, also spoke up: "That's right, no matter what, the final round should still be completed." She was also very curious about what Zu'an would choose next, whether to continue to keep a low profile and bide his time, or to make a name for himself.
However, his opponent in the final round is Yuan Wendong, who is a fifth-rank official. It will probably be difficult for him to make a name for himself.
As she spoke, she shifted the position of her legs, revealing her long and shapely legs encased in stockings, which immediately drew the attention of all the men in the training ground. Although they couldn't see anything, it didn't stop them from having all sorts of fantasies.
Hearing the two say this, Xie Yi also chimed in, "That's right. Since it's a family competition, it should naturally be completed. Even if someone admits defeat, the proper procedures still need to be followed."
He didn't understand why Jiang Luofu would suddenly support Sang Hong. While feeling frightened, he couldn't help but secretly remind Chu Zhongtian that they could voluntarily admit defeat.
Shi Kun, who had been watching the show intently, grew anxious. If the Chu family really conceded defeat, wouldn't all his previous preparations have been in vain? So he hurriedly said, "As far as I know, the Chu family's son-in-law has long since challenged the Yuan family's young master to a duel in this competition, and it seems he has challenged him more than once?"
Wu Qing from the Wu family also laughed gleefully: "That's right, I can testify to that. Zu An challenged Yuan Wendong repeatedly at school, saying he would teach him a lesson during the family competition. I've been watching closely."
Zu An glanced at Wu Qing and thought to himself that she was definitely going to fail her arithmetic class this semester. Although he had originally planned to take it, this woman was clearly up to no good.
At this moment, Yuan Wendong also spoke up: "That's right. Brother Zu has challenged me to a duel several times before, and I have been waiting to experience your skills today. Now that the time has finally come, I hope Brother Zu will not disappoint me."
At this moment, the Wu and Yuan families chimed in, "Everyone heard it just now. Zu'an even issued a challenge before the official match. Why are they backing down now?"
