nEditor: Dragon Boat Translation

n“Good!”

nLeader He vigorously patted He Yun’s shoulder and walked steadily towards the stage.

nIn the distance, the people from the other families erupted in excitement upon discovering that the He family had actually put their family treasure, terrifying gourd up as a bet.

n“The He family is really gambling big!”

n“Indeed, they even brought out the terrifying gourd. This shows they have absolute confidence in He Yun!”

n“Not only that, I think the He family intends to dominate Moon City…” An elder’s eyes flickered with a sinister light as he spoke.

nUpon hearing this, Leader Wu snorted coldly but said nothing. However, his heart tightened, hoping Zhao Yu could win.

nAfter all, the Wu family’s treasure was in Zhao Yu’s hands, and they could still negotiate since Zhao Yu had no family backing him.

nBut if it fell into the hands of the He family, getting it back would be extremely difficult. They might even have to start a war.

nThat would mean rivers of blood!

n“Leader Qian, does your Qian family have any plans to send someone strong enough to battle Zhao Yu?!”

nLeader Wu, trying to hide his inner fear, forcibly struck up a conversation with the other patriarchs.

nAlthough Leader Qian was over forty years old, she still possessed an enduring charm. She wore silk and satin adorned with dragon and phoenix patterns, exuding the aura of a noblewoman and a queen.

nThe other three leader present, all male, did not dare to meet her gaze.

nIt wasn’t that they feared her, but they were afraid that looking into her seductive eyes for too long would entrap them.

nFor people of their status, women were secondary. What truly mattered was their family, and they naturally didn’t want to invite unnecessary trouble.

nLeader Qian laughed coquettishly, her body swaying like a delicate flower, causing many young men to stare in a daze.

n“Our Qian family doesn’t have anyone who can compare to Wu Tian, so we won’t join the fun this time…”

n“Hehe, your daughter is exceptionally talented. She might become someone extraordinary in the future!” Leader Wu was seizing the opportunity to compliment Qian Duo Duo.

nThis time, Qian Duo Duo was not mingling with Zhuge Ying and others. Instead, she sat obediently beside Leader Qian.

n“Thank you for the compliment, Leader Wu, but my daughter does not dare to accept such praise…” Qian Duo Duo, understanding the etiquette, behaved obediently in front of these important figures, even dyeing her hair back to black.

nLeader Qian smiled faintly and whispered, “Look at Zhao Yu, this young man is already drawing the attention of all five great families. Aren’t you interested?”

nQian Duo Duo pouted, not caring about Zhao Yu’s identity or his personality.

nWhat she truly cared about was her mother’s attitude and her status as the cherished jewel of the Qian family.

n“I don’t want to. I want to find a husband of my own!” Qian Duo Duo said defiantly.

n“Alas, I’ve spoiled you too much!” Leader Qian sighed, understanding that her daughter’s hopes were slim.

nThis meant that once she stepped down, Qian Duo Duo could no longer act so spoiled.

nHowever, Qian Duo Duo didn’t understand the reason behind her mother’s work. Instead, she affectionately hugged her mother’s arm and coquettishly said, “With you around, I’ll always be a little girl…”

nLeader Qian gently tapped her on the forehead and shook her head, “Alright, let’s watch the match…”

nBut as she glanced at Qian Duo Duo, she suddenly noticed Qian Xin Yue, who had her head lowered nearby.

nWith her experience, she immediately saw the change in Qian Xin Yue’s demeanor. It seemed she had blossomed from a shy bud into a radiant flower.

nQuickly, she recalled Qian Xin Yue’s return to Black Stone Town.

nCould it be that she and Zhao Yu…?

nLeader Qian hurriedly called Qian Xin Yue over, questioning her in detail.

nPreviously, Qian Xin Yue had acted on her own accord. Even when reporting to Qian Duo Duo, she did so under the pretense of standing up for her.

nTherefore, upon her return, although she intended to tell the truth, she ended up partially hiding the reality of her relationship with Zhao Yu.

nNow, being questioned, she panicked but, after glancing at Qian Duo Duo, stuck to her previous explanation.

nHaving been in power for many years, Leader Qian was highly astute and immediately saw through Qian Xin Yue’s lie.

nEspecially since she glanced at Qian Duo Duo before speaking.

nShe instantly guessed that Qian Duo Duo must have instructed her not to tell the truth.

nLeader Qian shook her head, realizing she had indeed spoiled her daughter too much, allowing her to be so capricious on such serious matters.

nHowever, she did not expose Qian Xin Yue and, after a few casual remarks, turned her attention to the arena.

nIn the arena, Zhao Yu and He Yun were already standing on opposite sides, facing each other.

n“Zhao Yu, I watched your fight with Wu Tian. Your ability to recover your energy and blood is indeed strong…”

n“But, you have a flaw…”

n“And that is, your level is insufficient, only at the peak of the second tier, not at the level of a King Slayer…”

n“I know you emphasized needing a week’s time to stall, and now, you should have reached the second tier of the King Slayer Rank 1, right?!”

nHe Yun spoke confidently.

nDuring these seven days, the He family had been thoroughly analyzing Zhao Yu’s battles.

nThey reviewed his fights since arriving in Moon City repeatedly and even found people from Black Stone Town to study Zhao Yu’s experiences there.

nAfter extensive simulations, He Yun’s probability of defeating Zhao Yu was estimated to be around 90%.

nWithout such high odds, the He family leader wouldn’t have dared to wager the talisman treasure.

nAfter all, the terrifying gourd had only two uses left, and losing it would mean it was gone forever..
