"Well, my master gave me a lot of tea leaves, so I can't waste them. I'll update this here as well."
The third young master reached out to take it, but Dao Chengyi backed away with the book in his hand.
"Young master, you've changed! You're actually using a book to threaten me!"
"It's not a threat, just asking why we haven't heard from the Second Miss lately."
After the Third Young Master left, Dao Chengyi planned to take over the Mu family. The Second Young Miss was a very good prospect, and he would try to win her over first.
"Of course she's busy. Speaking of which, she seems to really like you. Not only does she go out with caravans to find rare medicines, but she's also collecting all sorts of beast-shaped martial arts techniques and rare treasures. You're really something!"
Dao Chengyi's hobby of collecting rare and exotic treasures in order to transform into a dragon has always been evident. During the Fengyue Festival, Dao Chengyi would often meet with the second young lady, Mu Qingluo, to sweep up goods. Over time, this information naturally came to light.
"It's just that the Second Miss saw that I liked it and helped me collect it. It's nothing special. But from what you're saying, the time for the Azure Mang Battle has been set?"
Although he had learned of the news from other sources beforehand, Dao Chengyi still changed the subject and asked questions.
"It will start in the middle of next month, after the start of winter. You have about half a month to prepare, so you must work hard. After all, no one knows what others are hiding for the Qingmang Battle."
Are there any masters who can achieve the same level of mastery?
"Perhaps."
"Then I'm not afraid."
He answered confidently, explaining that the results of the battle a few days ago had made Dao Cheng realize the extent of his own strength, and that he was more than capable of taking over Qingmang City in the next three years!
"Don't be so confident. What if there's someone even more twisted than you?"
The third young master seemed to be saying something with a hidden meaning, and following this, Dao Chengyi naturally asked his probing question.
"With you acting like this, could it be that there's a martial artist hiding somewhere?"
"That's for sure. Qingmang City is quite large, especially this year when people from the other two counties will also be coming to join the fun, making it even more difficult to predict their movements."
"I'm not afraid, but speaking of which, why does your face look so red?"
"Young sir, you're so excited while reading, you're radiant!"
"Then why does it look a bit yellow?"
"It's just wax for maintenance, what are you trying to say?"
"I was afraid you would be assassinated, and that you were on your deathbed and came to me to pretend you were alright."
Dao Chengyi had a vague answer in his heart, but when he said this, the Third Young Master was stunned for a moment, and then laughed it off.
"How could that be? The one who's really worried isn't you. You didn't come earlier or later, but you've gotten to this point in just six months. People might want to kill you more than they want to kill me."
"Then none of us can run away. If one of us runs away, the others won't be able to sleep at night, right?"
They raised their glasses together, exchanged a smile, and looked at each other.
"Because he's highly talented!"
"My precious disciple! Stop slacking off! You haven't practiced martial arts for four hours. Quickly come with me for another round of training. Today we'll practice the Cloud-Grabbing Hand!"
"Oh! How shameless you maids are to dress like this! Don't ruin my precious apprentice's future! Get dressed quickly! Don't catch the disease!"
Dao Cheng sighed, "I can't get a proper rest. It's good that my status has improved and I have good talent, but unfortunately, my master is too eager to participate."
