The subordinate, upon receiving the order, scrambled out as fast as he could, not daring to linger.
Qi Yun was still calmly sipping his tea, seemingly unhurried. Liang Gou was furious, but out of respect for Qi Yun's status, he asked...
"My dear brother, you don't seem worried at all? Don't forget! You're involved too!"
This was clearly a threat. Qi Yun calmly put down his teacup. "Brother Liang, please calm down. These are just rumors. Without evidence, they will naturally fall apart on their own. Besides, Brother Liang, don't you trust your formidable image in the eyes of the martial arts world? How could you be defeated by such mere rumors?"
Upon hearing this, Liang Gou thought, "Hmm, that seems to make some sense. So... what should we do? Let this rumor continue to spread?"
No, he couldn't stand it.
Qi Yun immediately saw through Liang Gou's thoughts. "Brother Liang, why are you in such a hurry? Of course, we won't let these rumors spread. Brother Liang, why don't you think about it? This is a martial arts tournament, where heroes from all over the world have gathered..."
Liang Gou understood immediately: this was a way to clarify things at the martial arts tournament? It was much easier than silencing the gossip!
Given his established image over the years, these rumors naturally lost their momentum.
He glanced at Qi Yun approvingly, "As expected, Brother Qi's plan is excellent!"
Qi Yun smiled faintly. He had anticipated this situation during the Ye City incident. As for Liang Gou... he was just a pawn and naturally had to be sacrificed.
After all, he had planned it out very clearly.
Today is the day of Yao Yao's competition, and surprisingly many people have come to watch.
However, most people are watching because of the incredible luck they've had in the past, to see if this person with the legendary incredible luck is truly lucky or just hiding their true abilities.
Do you think we'll have that same good luck again this time?
"I think it's unlikely. Everyone here fought their way through blood and sweat. How could someone who's survived this long be an ordinary person?"
"No, no, no, maybe there really is an ordinary one. Look at the one on this stage, isn't he just lucky?"
"Haha, this brother is right."
"How about we make another bet? Let's see who wins and who loses?"
"I'm planning to bet on that kid this time."
"Brother Li, have you thought this through? Luck doesn't come all the time. If you lose, you'll lose all your money."
"It's just a small bet, what's there to be afraid of? Just bet on it."
"Alright, come on, place your bet now!"
Although that's what they say, only a very small number of people actually believe that Yaoyao's success is largely due to luck.
Many who had bet on Yaoyao were even feeling uneasy. If it weren't for the fact that bets were final and couldn't be changed, they probably would have switched to someone else.
This time, Yaoyao is fighting against a renowned swordsman.
Known as the Smiling Gentleman because he always appears friendly and approachable, he is actually a highly skilled martial artist who can kill without leaving a trace. He is often dressed in white and has a handsome and refined appearance.
Over time, this gave rise to the saying "smiling gentleman".
Clearly, this smiling young master had also heard something about Yao Yao's good fortune.
They start by hanging up a sign to deceive the young and old: the warm smiles of women and children.
"So you're the one they say got here entirely by luck?"
Yao Yao looked completely bewildered. When did this happen? How come he didn't know? She was clearly very capable, so how did she end up getting ahead by luck?
The smiling young master's expression remained unchanged. Seeing Yao Yao's stunned look, he assumed she was terrified, and his eyes revealed a hint of contempt.
"You used to rely on luck to break through the encirclement, but today, you've met me, and I have no virtue of courtesy."
