"Are you serious?" Hong Mengyu asked, seeing that Jun Liuyue didn't seem to be joking.
Is this woman crazy?
But then I thought... if it were a life-or-death situation, even if she ruined this good-for-nothing's face, General Jun wouldn't be able to blame her.
All of this is because Jun Liuyue was too arrogant!
"Alright! I'll challenge you! A life-or-death match is a life-or-death match." Hong Mengyu proudly raised her chin. She was a mid-stage Spirit Master! Could she not handle a piece of trash? One move! Oh no, not even one move!
She could make this good-for-nothing kneel down and beg for mercy.
“Jun Liuyue, if you kneel down and beg me now, I may spare your life.”
"I hope you'll still be an optimistic little girl later."
Jun Liuyue smiled slightly and turned to walk towards the martial arts arena.
The Canglan Continent values martial arts over literature, so even the imperial palace has a martial arts training ground.
Moreover, it was located within the palace grounds, separated from the imperial garden by a high wall.
The news that Jun Liuyue and Hong Mengyu had gone to the arena of life and death spread quickly.
Although Hong Mengyu's cultivation level wasn't high, she was still better than a piece of trash, right? But Jun Liuyue actually accepted the challenge?
"Heavens! This good-for-nothing is too audacious! If I remember correctly, Hong Mengyu's cultivation is at the mid-stage of the Spirit Master realm, while Jun Liuyue is a complete waste! How dare a waste who doesn't even have martial arts skills step onto the dueling stage with a Spirit Master?"
"Heavens... Has something driven this young lady of the Jun family insane?"
"Shh, keep your voice down. I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince dislikes Jun Liuyue very much. Could it be that she only agreed to this in order to win back the Crown Prince's heart?"
"Ha, a daughter of a military family actually lowers herself like this for love, she really disgraces the old general." A die-hard fan of Jun Tianlan couldn't help but scoff.
The Jun family is full of loyal and righteous people, but Jun Liuyue is such a stain on their reputation!
Those attending the banquet today include not only officials of the court, but also many noble sons, princes, and princesses.
They walked toward the training ground while discussing it.
When the news of Jun Liuyue's impending death arrived, Old Master Jun was drinking tea and nearly choked to death.
What did you say?!
Grandpa Jun almost jumped up, and his voice cracked.
"Children's squabbles are nothing to worry about."
"But this is a fight to the death, it's not just ordinary playful fighting."
"Hmph, what do you know? My granddaughter certainly has her own ideas." The palace maid poured another cup of tea.
At this moment, Grandpa Jun was not as flustered as before. He brushed off the tea foam and slowly began to drink.
Patriarch Shi: "Old man, you don't actually think your granddaughter is going to win, do you?"
The old man took a sip of tea. "Good tea!" he exclaimed, before slowly replying to the head of the Shi family, "What's impossible?"
In the past, he would never have been so confident, but what he had experienced in the past month had forced him to become confident.
What is his granddaughter? A Beast Soul Master, an Alchemist, and a Spirit Cultivator? Others cultivate two elements simultaneously, which is already heaven-defying, so what about his precious granddaughter? Three! Three!
If word gets out, it'll scare those old fogies to death!
In the past, when these old men gathered together, they would always deliberately bring up the descendants of their families, and whenever this happened, Grandpa Jun would remain silent.
But he had to hold it in; it was too uncomfortable.
"Haha, my granddaughter is too reckless. I hope General Jun won't blame her," the Hong family head said with a smile.
"oh."
Grandpa Jun continued to skim off the tea foam.
The Hong family head continued, "No matter what, it's just children's squabbles. We parents should stay out of it."
"Patriarch Hong is right." Old Master Jun nodded.
"I believe that girl knows her limits; it's just playful banter." The Hong family head chuckled. He tried to see anxiety on Old Master Jun's face, but failed. The old man remained calm, showing no sign of worry or even a desire to go to the martial arts arena.
What's going on? In the past, this old man would get extremely anxious whenever it came to Jun Liuyue's affairs.
But now that Jun Liuyue is on the life-or-death stage, this old man is still so calm and collected.
In the end, it was the head of the Shi family who suggested going to the martial arts arena to take a look.
When the family heads arrived at the training ground, it was already crowded with people.
"It's not too late for you to regret it now."
Hong Mengyu fiddled with her longsword. "Kneel down now and shout three times that you, Jun Liuyue, are trash, and I'll let you go. How about it?"
"Oh, if you kneel down right now and kowtow three times to your great-aunt, I might consider making your death less painful." Liu Yue smiled, but her words were arrogant and overbearing!
This remark was met with a burst of laughter.
Good heavens! What is this useless person saying? She's telling Hong Mengyu to beg for mercy?
What is she daydreaming about?
Hong Mengyu was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter: "You're really asking for it!"
"The competition begins!"
As soon as the referee's voice fell, Hong Mengyu moved, her long sword aimed directly at the red-clad girl opposite her.
Everyone gasped; there was no way Jun Liuyue could dodge this attack.
Just as Hong Mengyu was about to touch Liuyue, the girl had not moved, but the next second, the girl raised her hand.
Before Hong Mengyu could react, she was enveloped by a powerful force, and her sword almost slipped from her hand.
She was uncontrollably thrown to the ground, and *smack!* Liu Yue slapped her across the face, instantly swelling half of her cheek. Lying on the ground, her face burned with pain. As she tried to get up, her face was stepped on.
